Yoster Krall, faceman and counterintel specialist in Scum and Villainy.
 
Last time I played was as Khem, a faux-Egyptian crocodile man with aristocratic roots, a penchant for police work, a lack of patience for stupid villains who couldn't even scheme right ("Let me explain to you how it's done before I arrest you for botching it"), a love of hippo steaks, and a serious antipathy for the disgusting antics of cat people (who made up 25% of his party unfortunately).
 
Mr Shiny in a GURPS Cyberpunk game. He's a former street rat grown up into a tough. Bald, wearing a worn leather vest that used to be a leather jacket. He carries a .45 autopistol and a short sword. Just because he's a tough doesn't mean he's stupid, he can repair automobiles, operate computers, and pick locks and he tries to be the reasonable one because it makes it so much more surprising when whips out his short sword and stabs people.

Most recent play is in a Black Hack game, playing Teemo Nines, an archer who's gone awol from the queen's army after being captured by the enemy, and tortured, losing the middle finger on his dominant hand. Upon being freed in a prisoner exchange, he decided to leave it all behind and take off for the frontier.

Before that, I played as Haight in a Blades in the Dark game. He was a Cutter, a veteran of the Unity War returned to Doskvol haunted by his experiences in war, but not having any skill other than violence. Things did not go very well for him.
 
Teemo might actually get to shoot something with that bow of his sometime soon. :grin:
 
Hah we’ll see!

You like how I have a built in excuse for him if the rolls don’t go my way?
 
Rocky Rockerson, a rhino-man barbarian. He wears a Hawaiian shirt, loves surfing, and hates raging. But if you push him to the point of raging, he is very, very effective at it. His most prized possession is a pair of boogie shoes another party member made for him.

He's taken a shine to a half-elf baker named Lilliana, and is urging the party, "Can we please hurry up and save the world so I can go on a date?"
 
In our DC Heroes game, I am Faith Gibson, aka Broadside; an artist from Earth-3 who acquired her powers after accidentally inhaling a cloud of biomorphic construction materials; as such, she's super strong and tough, and able to extrude her supers costume from her body. She can also fly. She's bold, but also impatient and kinda angry.

She got summoned to Earth-1 somehow, at which point she ended up working with a group of villains to steal some artefacts for Ras Al-Ghul, with the promise that she'd get sent back home; while they achieved that, the group ended up all getting sent to Earth-2 instead, where they've accidentally became heroes. She also keeps on meeting her parallel universe equivalents...
 
the last one you got to play in live
Um... that was at least several years ago. I had a gnome wizard in 5e I think. it was not very memorable.

I did get to play a last year but it was not live. A Mythras cyberpunk wizard named Hollow and a Lupus Ahroun Bonegnawer social justice warrior. They were both fine characters but the GM struggled
 
Ashlynn York, ex-military sapper/engineer turned criminal (Blades in the Dark).

She was a street orphan who joined the military for a better life, served 11 years. Was eventually court martialed near the end of the Unity War due to refusing to detonate explosives that would have killed a large amount of civilians. Went back home with no money, no job, no prospects and kind of had to deal with the fact that most of the rank and file soldiers from the war got abandoned by the government as soon it was over, so has a particular beef with nobility/ruling class. (Also her superior officer who ordered the explosives set off and had her court martialed and discharged got a cushy job with the bluecoats (police). So fuck that guy).
 
A protocol droid (C-3P0 style) named "Red" cause he was painted red...he had a proper designation, but the other party members couldn't be bothered to remember it and just called him "Red", honestly, I don't remember what it was anymore, LOL.

It was a very short lived FFG Star Wars campaign. I don't remember all the little details but he didn't carry any weapons or have any combat ability whatsoever. He had high levels of the talking skills and had a superiority complex. I remember he had a couple of feats that allowed him to piss off the bad guys in a firefight causing them to take penalties or something along those lines. Mostly I remember during shootouts while everyone else was ducking for cover and blasting the baddies, "Red" would spend the whole thing shouting insults and laughing at the enemies.

Also, because he was a droid it didn't matter all that much if he got shot cause there was a tech guru in the party that could fix him up easy, so during firefights he often stood out in the open. I think he had a feat that automatically put him on the bottom of the list for viable targets.

He was fun to play, too bad I can't stand the FFG Star Wars system or that game might have lasted longer.
 
I took my character for this DC Heroes pbp that hasn't got up and running yet, and converted him to Golden Heroes. I was able to play him in another group. I adjusted his power levels down a bit, as Golden Heroes characters aren't as powerful as DC Heroes ones. Had a blast, really enjoying the character. Here is the GH version.

I'm enjoying playing one of the NPCs in my Part Time Gods: "San Francisco 1996" game. Mike, the God of Homelessness and Lord of the Tenderloin.
 
I referee more than I play, and so I run NPC's. The most enjoyable one in the last live face-to-face game was from a fantasy world, the Lord Chancellor of Donara, an extremely powerful, wealthy, elderly man who had outlived several wives, his children, and was dealing now with the disappearance of his grandson, who ran off to be a goat-herder (it was a very strange campaign). I try to give every NPC I run a memorable tagline and a memorable mannerism. For this, I tried to do my best imitations of Noel Coward and William F. Buckley with my voice. That was the mannerism. The tagline started with the goats..."Awful things, goats. Can't have 'em in the manor house, they s--t on the carpets." This then proceeded to everything and everyone in the kingdom or near it--elves, peasants, other nobles, adventurers and so on. Even now at the remove of a year and a half and more, some of the players will greet me with "Can't have 'em in the house..."
 
A bit farther back I've got Starkers the Enormous, the naked, blue painted, halfling barbarian and Rodger of the Big Wood a fighter and would be bandit. Rodger's not the brightest fellow Int 4, Wisdom 7, so he tells everyone he meets that he wants to be a daring bandit.
 
Favorite current PC from a age of steam Traveller play by post game:

Dr. Samuel Linkletter 6AAB83, Age 30, Doctor, 3 Terms. Medical-3, Blade Cbt-1, Streetwise-1, Mechanical (Cloth)-1, Scholar-2, Mechanical (Metal)-0, Mechanical (Wood)-0, Mechanical (Stone)-0, Mechanical (Machinery)-0, Admin-0, Pistol-0

I also play:

Matsumoto Senichi Iuichi Unicorn Shugenja, Rank 1, Glory: 2;0, Honor: 3;3, XP: 5, FIRE 3 // Agility 3 / Intelligence 3, AIR 2 // Reflexes 2 / Aware 3, WATER 3 // Strength 3 / Perc 3, EARTH 2 // Stamina 2 / Will 2, VOID 2,
Calligraphy (Per) 1, Defense (Agil) 1, Herbalism (Int) 1, Horsemanship (Awar/Agil) 1, Hunting (Per) 1, Meditation (Void) 1, Kenjitsu (Agil) 1

In a L5R 1e play by post.
 
So, a few characters I played recently -

Roderick DeVaratna-Lunda (D&D 5e, Wizard 7/Thief 2), 3rd son of a wealthy merchant family who dropped out of wizard school and subsequently became an adventurer or magical investigator. He looks like a well-to-do burgher and generally tries to not make it immediately ovbvious that he's a wizard.

He's rather enjoying his freelance adventuring life style and trades passive-agressive letters with his father, who wants him working for the guild where he can keep an eye on him. He has suggested that should the guild want his services he would be happy to send a letter to the guild masters outlining his consulting rates.

Kolen the Hobbit Barbarian (D&D 5e, Barbarian/5). A small, bald, angry hobbit with a long, red beard and an incomprehensible drunk-Glaswegian accent. He can play the bagpipes and do a knife/axe throwing act. The character was loosely based on McBlane from The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin with a dollop of Rab C Nesbit thrown in.

 
I'm more likely to GM, but my group takes turns, so over the last year or so I have managed to play as a PC a few times.

The last three characters I have played:

  • Krondor of the North, Reghedmen Outlander of Icewind Dale (Barbarian Class). Our DM was running Forgotten Realms using D&D 5E.
  • Percy Puddin', Hobbit Bounder of The Shire. We were using Fate Core to run various Middle Earth adventures.
  • Hali Kahmish, the famous Barber-Rogue of Bagdab! We played Tales Of The Arabian Nights using Fate Core.
All good fun :thumbsup:

Where did you get that character sheet? It's nice.

I'm playing in a lot of online games right now. I've got a version of Ghost Lion who is a martial artist with some powers, and a riding Shi/Fu Lion, I've got a D&d changeling named Eldemyr Gralthrum Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. I am playing a PbP game where I'm playing Barbarians of the Ruined Earth who is basicaly a Liger (Beastman Lion/Tiger mix randomly rolled) name Rhy Ger the Nok.

Also I'm playing a weird MSH mashup where I'm playing Moon Wraith (Moon Knight w/the Moonstone from Moonstone cut to be an ankh) and I'm playing my Elhu, Karn; in a space opera game who uses the powers of the Font. (Sort of Force like but mine is limited to physical adjustments to self.) Elhu write up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z_OIbDFFcgkxX9tI-K3Z0q6u7TeSmfdDsJTK1zPmBOg/edit?usp=sharing
 
I'm currently playing Flavinius the Itinerant in a Dungeon Crawl Classics game (character sheet here). He grew up as an urchin and despite his accrued power and wealth, he still lives mostly as a beggar due to a complete disinterest in being a functional part of society. Despite being a wizard and completely randomly generated, he reminds me a lot of my last Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate character Pitiful Ping, who was a member of clan of martial artist beggars. While Flavinius has Intelligence as his highest stat, he also has high Strength and Stamina. I have chill touch, which gives me a powerful melee attack. I have Spider Climb and Levitation, which lines up with Ping's mastery of Lightness techniques. As DCC Wizards go, he makes for a pretty good wuxia character.

My other currently living character is Throatslitter Kang, thuggish, dimwitted bodyguard to an Imperial Magistrate in a Strange Tales of Songling game. His love of decapitation is exceeded only by his ability to infuriate his superior by misinterpreting the simplest of orders. His least favorite supernatural entities are disembodied heads, which deprive him of his ability to show off his Neck Cleaving Strike.

I lost a character in a Warlock! game a few weeks ago. Footpad Charlie Hodges died unburied and unmourned in a TPK by animated statues.
 
It's been a minute since I got to be a player in a game instead of running a game, but I had a lot of fun playing a fat, corrupt, disgraced former police detective-cum-shamus in the Call of Cthulhu scenario Ladybug Ladybug Flyaway Home that Ronnie Sanford Ronnie Sanford ran a couple of years ago. He helped save the day with a liberal application of false accusations, illegal searches and impersonation of a police officer; a true American hero.

This character template stands the test of time and can be used in just about any genre. One of my personal favs.
 
He was equal parts Sam Spade and Dirk Gently with a dash of Danny Devito.
One of my acid tests for a new game is can I make Dirk Gently? For anyone who' curious, for 5E that's a jaded and sarcastic halfling Diviner/Lore Bard with the Lucky Feat.
 
I've been off and on playing Zweihander using solo rules and am playing Angus the Trapper who is investigating strange happenings of a horrific nature in the sparsely populated Northern Marches.
 
I've been a player in an online D&D 5e game for about a year now (everyone else are on the other side of the pond, but we have found a time slot being fairly acceptable to everyone in the group). My character is a drow monk that goes by the name Marbith ("little ghost" in Dwarvish).

Background:
He was found as a toddler by a group of dwarf adventurers, but was mainly raised by a brother to one of them. When the group disappeared, the dwarf he was staying at pretty much had the opinion of "not my kid, not my problem" so he mostly grew up as a street rat. A slightly older sea elf took care of him, and taught him about the goddess of beauty (leading up to him having the cleric initiate feat). Well, until some monks kidnapped (rescued in their opinion) him and trained him, while blabbing about some war that had been going on for ages that they were preparing him for.

After a decade at the monastery, he managed to escape. Finding out that the elf that he knew had left the city, he decided to track her down to make sure she was okay, wherever she was. While finally ending up in the general area of where she probably had traveled to, he got captured by some orcs.

Almost managing to flee from the orcs with two humans (the character and companion of another player joining at the same time), they ended up fighting the pursuing orcs. Luckily, some troops from a nearby town showed up. Orcs being the main enemy of the settlers in the area, the soldiers and the town was friendly of him (no one chased him out with pitchforks) he ended up talking to a dwarf bard at the infirmary and joined the very small "mercenary company" the dwarf's goliath friend was trying to start.

Standing 5'8" and looking like a twig, most would probably put their money on Hickup if the two of them would end up in a fist fight. But over the adventures so far, he has proven he can hold his own in a fight.
 
Currently playing April Parker, Mayhem, in an MHR game based on... a combination of MCU and 616 continuity. She sacrificed herself-- dying twice in the same panel-- about ten years ago to save her sister May's life and save the world from Carnage and just woke up to discover everyone's about thirty years younger than they're supposed to be and everyone's fighting Carnage. Well, she knows how to handle Carnage.

She does not know how to handle Carnage.

Looking forward to joining another MHR game soon as Sabretooth as a disgruntled mutant terrorist trying to come in from the cold after his boss went straight and his squeeze went missing. One lucky run-in with some asshole throwing razor-sharp boomerangs at people and now all the 24/7 news stations are claiming he's turned over a new leaf... and why the hell shouldn't he? All these years trying to prove "the runt" is just faking it, and which one of them lives in a mansion and which one lives in the attic of a dive bar?

Sorry, just saw this. Got the character sheet from an e-buddy in England. I can share it, if you like.
 
Usually a GM, but Paul Holden is a former Intelligence Agent (Traveller) who's loosely based on Arvin Sloan from Alias, only he's slightly younger and is, of course, the protagonist of his own tale. He seeks knowledge that can explain the strange religious visitations he experiences, and hopes to find the means of ridding himself of them.
 
Please that would be nice.


Just realized that I never did this. Seems I've become the king of unfinished business around here. Let me start by dropping this here.

Here are links to a couple of very cool character sheets. I used Inkscape to mess with them (on Linux Mint), but any graphics/Image editor should work. enjoy!

This first one is to a full-color custom sheet made by a friend. It has Marvel Characters byt can be edited.

This last link is for the sheet you saw upthread.


...sorry it took so long.
