Character Creation Challenge 2023: #3 = “Awfully Cheerful Engine”

 

Our next game is also a repeat from last year. That game is “Awfully Cheerful Engine”. 

I going to ask Mythic which core identity a.k.a the role for PC is.   Question #1: Ape? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 88. No. Question #2: Cat? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 91. Outrageous No. So it’s not one of the talking animals in the core rulebook. Question #3: Alien? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 98. Outrageous No. So it’s not one of the species in the core rulebook. Question #4: Alchemist? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 78. No. Question #4: Assassin? My View: I’m skipping this one since that was what I got last year. Question #5: Actor? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 80. No. Question #6: Archaeologist (think “Indiana Jones”)? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 51. No. Question #7: Astronaut? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 70. No. Question #8: Athlete? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 73. No. Question #9: Bounty Hunter? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 75. No. Question #10: Boxer (think “Rocky”)? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 46. Yes. The following is the Boxer’s Special Ability: “With a quick One-Two, and swift K.O., you really know how to

punch. Your unarmed damage increases by 1. And also, once per day, when

you would normally be Knocked Out, you can choose to remain on 1 Health.”

Next is to deal with the stats. You have 12 points to put in the stats put in the four stats: Smarts, Moves, Brawn & Style. You can’t put any more than 5 in one trait and no traits can be less than 2. I will start with a 2 in Smarts. Then I put a 3 for Move. Then I put a 5 in Brawn. That leaves 2 points left over for Style. 

Now it’s time to pick my Focus. For my PC’s Smart focus, I’m going with Video Games. For my PC’s Move focus, I’m going with Dodging. For Brawn, I’m going with Brawling. For my PC’s Style focus, I going with Sports.

Ok. It’s time to do the Defense business which is the following math problem: Moves & 3. Though it is lower than 8 -- it becomes the number known as the following: 8. 3 * 3 = 9. 9 is higher than 9. 

Health is equal to Brawn plus 2 if the PC had a Tough focus. So my PC’s health is 5

Next is to pick the main trait of my character. I’m going with Heroic.

Now, it’s time for a name, I’m going with Hellen Troy for the name of this PC.

Now it’s time for appearance -- which I went with the following: “Hellen Troy is an adult human female with blonde hair and blue eyes usually dressed in a pink mini-shirt, mini-jeans shorts, and pair of sandals.”

Below the break is the full stats of Hellen Troy.

Character Creation Challenge 2023: #2 = “Amazing Tales”

 

Our next game is a repeat as well -- “Amazing Tales”. Since I did sci-fiction here, I’m going with fantasy like the following media: “Dungeons & Dragons”, “Pathfinder”, “King Arthur and the Knights of Round Table”, “Robin Hood And His Merry Man”, “The Lord of The Rings” & “Games of Thrones”

I was thinking of a mermaid here. Though originally, it was a creature that had the top of a fish and the bottom of a woman - the historical version of the old classic room game called “Telephone” -- had changed into the following: the top of a woman with the bottom of a fish. 

The first business is the name of the character. I’m going with Annabelle here.

Next business is Annabelle’s appearance which is the following: “Annabelle is a mermaid with purple hair, yellow eyes, and a green tail usually dressed in a pink toga.”

Now it’s time to decide on Annabelle’s four skills. The following skills are pretty good for a mermaid: swimming, singing, using magic, ocean knowledge, sailing ships, rescuing lifeforms & animal care. I think I use the first four for Annabelle’s skills. I think swimming is the one that gets the d12. The one that gets the d10 is Using Magic. I going to give singing the d8. That puts d6 into the Ocean Knowledge.

Below the break is the full stats for Annabelle.

=AMAZING=

Name: Annabelle

Appearance: Annabelle is a mermaid with purple hair, yellow eyes, and a green tail usually dressed in a pink toga.

Skills:

▢ Swimming: d12

▢ Using Magic: d10

▢ Singing: d8

▢ Ocean Knowledge: d6

=AMAZING= 

Character Creation Challenge 2023: #1 = "Action System"

We are starting this business this year with a repeat. In this case, it’s “Action System!”. The fictional campaign that our fictional game master is running is an extremely far-future business filled with aliens and robots of many different flavors. This means I have 50 Starting Points for Attributes.  The following is what I bought for my character with the math business in brackets as usual:

• 10 for Strength [50 - 10 = 40.]

• 9 for Reflexes [40 - 9 = 31.]

• 10 for Health [31 - 10 = 21.]

• 6 for Presence [21 - 6 = 15.]

• 10 for Intellect [15 - 10 = 5.]

• 5 for Will  [5 - 5 = 0.]

Now, it’s time to deal with the Derived Attributes business for the PC. The first math business here is for Defensive Target Number which is the following math problem: Reflexes + 10. With my PC having a Reflexes of 9 -- that makes his Defensive Target Number the following: 19. The next math business in this business is for Initiative which is the following math problem: Reflexes + Intellect/2 = Initiative (rounding up in the case of fractions) Let’s plug my PC’s numbers into the math problem: 10+10/2=10.  The next business is Toughness which is the following math problem: Strength + Will/2 = Toughness (once again -- rounding up in case of fractions). Let’s plug in the PC’s numbers: 10 + 5 = 15/2=7.5. Rounding that 7.5 up to an 8.  Next is the math business for Life which is the following: (Health x 3)+ (Will x2) = Life. Time to plug in the PC’s numbers. (10x3)+(5*2) = Life. 30+10=40. The Move is our next math problem -- which is the following: Reflexes + (Strength+Health)/2. It’s time to figure out the PC’s Move business. 9 + (10+10)/2 = 14.5. Let’s round up that 14.5 into a 15.

It’s time to buy the Traits for our character -- advantages cost us points -- while the disadvantages give us points. The fictional Game Master decides to give us 200 points to buy traits -- the following is what I brought with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Actual Scene (Gift) -- [200 - 9 = 191]

• Advanced (Gift) -- [191 - 10 = 181]

• Ambidextrous (Edge) -- [191 - 5 = 186]

• Athletic (Gift) -- [186 - 10 = 176]

• Attractive (Edge) -- [176 - 6 = 170]

• Lucky (Edge) -- [170 - 10 = 160]

• Night Vision (Gift)  -- [160 - 10 = 150]

• Addiction: Soda Pop (Inconvenience) -- [150 + 2 =152]

• Bad Temper (Inconvenience) -- [152 + 2 = 154]

• Distinctive Feature: Pink metal skin (Peril) -- [152 + 10 = 163] 

Ok. On my PC’s skills. I get 100 points for my PCs.  Group business is 5 Points per Level -- while a skill is 1 point per level -- even if it’s a type of business -- while a Specialty is 2 Levels per 1 point.

The following are the skills that I brought for my PC with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Swimming 6 (100  - 6 = 94.) 

• Disguise 10 (94 - 10 - 81)

• Stealth 10 (81 - 10 = 71)

• Intuition 10 (71 - 10 = 61)

• Acting 10 (61 - 10  = 51)

• Singing 10 (51 - 10 = 41)

Now, I’m done with my character’s buying business -- so it’s time for name and appearance. I’m going with Aelita as the name of the character. Aelita’s appearance is the following business: “Aelita is a human-looking robot made out of pink metal with purple hair and orange eyes usually wearing a white toga.”

The following business is Aelita’s full stats.
