Durandamon Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've wrote most of my sidekick one, but Im having a bit of a writer's block on the other. I'll have it done by tomorrow tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durandamon Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The first post says "Each Hero can have up to two other Player Characters as Sidekicks." doesnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libracor Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I meant it as other players, but now that I think about it it may be better if some players play as their own sidekicks. I'm gonna limit it to two characters per player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libracor Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 You can't take zeroes in stats, only equipment which is zero by default. Additionally, your powerset has no defined parameters. Parameters would be letting us know what you can and cannot do with it. Can it be used in battle? Can it be used on multiple people? How often can it be used? How much does it take out of you to use? Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandamon Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 This is a very, very unfinished WIP, but here's mah guy: [spoiler=Uturuncu - WIP]User: Ghostrick MaryPublic Identity: Oliver LignoSecret Identity: The UturuncuAge: 28Gender: MaleOrigin Type: SupernaturalPowerset: Shapeshifting: By wearing his magic jaguar pelt, he can shapeshift into one, or take the shape of a ferocious werejaguar. This gives him increased strength, speed and reflexes.Personality: What are they like? What are their goals and interests? Are they Lawful or Unlawful? And are their goals selfish or selfless?[spoiler=Appearance]Biography: Folk tales of South America speak of the lobizon and the witches. They say that a couple's seventh child will either be born a hideous half-wolf hybrid, covered in fur from head to toe, or a cursed woman, with the face of an old hag from the moment she's born. Oliver was born the seventh child of a very superstitious family in Misiones, Argentina. He was, as expected, thrown away immediately, left to his own devices in the jungle. Were fairytales non-existant and the young child would have died almost instantly. However, as luck and irony would have it, Oliver was found and adopted by a coven of lovely witches who lived in that very jungle, hidden mere feet away from the populated and tourist hotspot of Iguazú Falls. Oliver was raised by those very witches and, while unable to learn their magic, he had a great eyesight and a gift for finding magical plants and vegetation deep in the dark jungle. He spent the days learning alchemy and the nights scouring for ingredients, taking care not to anger any of the mostly peaceful creatures of the jungle. A few days shy of his 18th birthday, as he did his usual collecting route, Oliver sensed a presence behind him: a jaguar. These creatures usually only attacked when their territory was being violated or their cubs or themselves were in danger, but this one was different: towering over him, the beast only wanted blood. Oliver ran for his life, managing to dodge every last one of the jaguar's swipes and pounces, until he had to stop abruptly, as he had reached the Falls. Dodging one last time, the jaguar pounced over Oliver and right into the water, being dragged by the current and plunging straight towards the abyss.Compelled to see the corpse, Oliver walked around the falls and to the coast below, when he was surprised to find no jaguar corpse whatsoever: instead, the dead body of a frail old man enveloped in a jaguar's hide sat between the rocks. For a split second, the thoughts of leaving the corpse there alone were overrun by the greed of getting that pristine, soft jaguar pelt. Oliver gave in, took the pelt and ran towards the witches' cabin. As he was about to enter, Oliver thought he should wear the pelt over his shoulders to impress his caretakers, boasting of how he killed a jaguar all by himself.The last thing he remembered was draping the pelt over his shoulders. Oliver opened his eyes to a blood-drenched cabin, the corpses of the coven mauled to bits, and him sitting in the middle of it all, the pelt having fallen from his shoulders at some point near the end of the massacre.Overcome by guilt, Oliver knew of no way to redeem himself other than to control whatever had caused him to go berserk. For the following years, he'd lock himself up in the cabin and put on the pelt, struggling to control his animal form until he'd get the pelt stuck on the furniture and turn back to normal. After some time, he obtained the ability to control the degree of transformation, becoming a werejaguar, as well as being able to undo the transformation on demand. At the age of 25, Oliver was found by a wandering wizard, who was apparently looking for the famed witches of the South American jungles, searching for their knowledge. The man took an interest to Oliver, and asked him to tag along. Finally ready to face the outside world with his new powers, Oliver the Uturuncú joined as the wizard's sidekick, aiding him in his goals, as well as striving to make up for his past.Movement Power: SpeedWeaknesses: Power Source +5Stats and Perks - 24 Points spentnet worth 3endurance 4melee 5ranged 3energy 1lifting 4physical str 3 +1intuition myst 3knowledge supernatural 4 +1deception 3 +1programming 1knowledge chem 3knowledge alch 5running speed 4 +1throwable 2 - stone bolasmelee 3 - wooden cane, can transform into a sharp, indestructible stone axe when uturuncu transforms.suit 1 - uturuncu's magic jaguar pelt can absorb a big chunk of brute force applied to it, but its very weak against fire.   The Uturuncu is a folk tale from Argentina. It speaks of a warlock who, by rubbing against his magical jaguar pelt, can turn into a very strong, fast and wise jaguar. He doesn't have a real origin story, so I just took some liberties in the bio. I'm still lacking a personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libracor Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 You actually have one point left to spend if you wish. For personality, I recommend making him a lonely atoner who wishes to absolve his sins through loyalty to a good person, like the warlock, and seeks to destroy forces that disrupt peace and has a particular dislike for corrupting forces.
