My apologies to any mods who decide to move this topic into the original RPS character sheet topic. But I wanted to draw attention to this.
In like, two weeks or so Jafar and I will be taking over the RPS sessions for like eight weeks or so until Swift comes back. During that time we will be playing a slightly different game.
Basically the idea is to advance the QFG world about fiv-six hundred years into the future, so Magic, Monsters and Adventurers meets Cars, Computers and Guns.
To give you guys an idea, here's a description of the character I used when we were play-testing this idea. I won't actually be using him in the rps as I prefer to remain just a DM or a character when I roleplay.
Sckye Daisuki - Pistol Dancer: Professional Gunfighter
Alignment: Good, but mean. (Stands up for what is right and risks own personal safety for others, but at the same time enjoys fighting and eliminating enemies).
Attributes:
Good physique
Clear thinker
Keen eyes
Lightning reflexes
Skills:
Crack shot with Handguns
Accurate with other small arms
Skilled martial artist
Master of gun katas (Watch 'Equilibrium')
Equipment:
Two customised 9mm Heckler & Koch USP Experts (
www.Hkpro.com)
Magazine reloading system (a la the cr@p LaraCroft movies)
Spring-loaded forearm reloaders (one magazine each)
Slick black suit
Quirks/Personality modifiers:
Eye for the ladies: Sckye is a consumate professional, sharp, compitent and thorough. That is until he sees whatever pretty young thing that happens to be his type at that minute. Then he will take whatever steps necessary to work a meeting into his busy schedule. This hasn't yet compromised his professionalism, but it's only a matter of time.
Loves what he does: Sckye scares people. Most of the time he's a straight-up decent guy. The kind of guy you can rely upon, But once the shooting starts a satisfied smirk starts to pull at his mouth. Sckye starts to enjoy the fighting and the killing and gives himself over to it. When that happens a surrender is no-longer good enough, you will fight to the death or die on your knees it's all the same to Sckye.
Background:
Sckye is a veteran of the war in Tarna. After the war he immediately began looking for work as a mercenary and was quickly snapped up by the largest security firm in Spieldburg. He has since advanced to become the company head's chief bodyguard and operative. But ocassionally Sckye gets hired out to other clients and in a few short years has worked on a wide variety of different assignments in almost every part of gloriana.
