Need a Partner to Test Character

What a coincidence! I need to test a character I've had for about a month now.

Marcus Matturson

Name: Marcus Matturson
Alias: Primogenitor
Age: 67
Race:Human

Appearance: Marcus is at least 5'9", with pale, Caucasian skin. He has rich brown eyes, a mildly bent nose, and a rather full head of grey hair, peppered with black. He has a kind looking face, but his eyes are piercing and striking. He wears a grey suit, white undershirt, red bowtie, and black dress shoes. He looks mildly bent with age ad stress, as his age is finally caching up to him. In his villain persona, he wears a tannish-skin colored cloak lined with small finger bones, patterned with the symbol of the ancient god Pluto etched on his back. He wears a WWI tubed gasmask, heavily tattered jackboots, and black latex gloves.

Social Status: Owner of a successful dentist clinic, and co-owner of a downtown hospital.
Relations: Three children, eight young grand children.

General Activity: Works as an owner of a successful dentist clinic for the rich, and he co-owns one of the busiest hotels in the country. He works a twelve hour day from 7 am to 7 pm as a dentist, then goes to his large estate just outside the city to manage the finances and funding for the hospital. He handles his job very smoothly, and it's a large workload for anyone, especially his age.

During his off periods, he works in a small lab under his offices as the Primogenitor, cloning subjects ad creating creatures called haemonculi, who are artificial humans with extreme strength. When not doing this, he plans how to work himself into other villains operations and benefit from either their victories or losses. He also keeps tabs on his enemies whereabouts to the point where he can know what room they would be in at the moment of attack.

Abilities: Father of the Fatherless.
Marcus leads an army of fearless, identical, zealously loyal soldiers in two distinct castes. The first caste are the Fatherless, his generic small army of clones who are ravenously loyal to their "father". They are about as strong as the average healthy adult male. They are only considered "supersoldiers" because of their tendency to follow orders to the letter. The second caste are the haemonculi. These are his best creations, the closest thing to a perfect human. These vat grown people are unnaturally skilled in all facets of fighting, and are very intelligent. Unlike the Fatherless, they are all different in appearance, behavior, and vocally. Also unlike the Fatherless, two haemonculi always protect the Primogenitor.

Weapon skill: Marcus is skilled with many weapons, but he prefers a shortened, serrated scythe he carries into battle. He isn't like his age, being physically stronger and more lithe than anyone else his age. He also carries a pistol that fires chemical darts at his victims, and a gun that fires large electric pulses at the general direction of his foes.

Flesh sight: The Primogenitor can feel the pain and pleasure of others nearby with a kind of sixth sense, and uses this uncanny ability to find opponents weak spots. However, large pulses of energy can mess with or even disrupt the power entirely.

Equipment:
Warscythe
Chem-pistol
Stun Grenades
Armored Breastplate

personality: I guess it will be he IC

Backstory: He as a small town boy, more interested in dissecting frogs in class than friends. After years of school, he chose the holier path and served his vicarage in a small town, and was well respected and loved by the townsfolk. It was at this time that he first found the micro-society that were the self titled "Oppressed". The Oppressed opened his eyes to the plight of "true, unadulterated science", showing him the first human experimentation he had ever laid eyes on. He decided to stat a hospital, used as a cover-up for his deranged whims. However, he as stopped as his fellow brother-in-science, a Dr. Johansen R. Dright, told him that he would be caught. They then planned to use the dead corpses in the morgue to experiment. The hospital business boomed, and years later he renounce and turned hi back on god. He has no current motives, except to capture and experiment on a rare variation of human called an Esper.

Bounty Hunters character sheets

As promised, I will make a character here.

Name: Daaniel Margaine, male. Age 37

Race: Sabaatican, born in the void of space, on the trade ship Moonstrider

Trademark weapon: a tri-bolt plasma rifle that fires a three burst shot.

Personality: Rather personable, but not comfortable in large groups. Generally a rather accepting guy, but not too naive. when faces with a lot of pressure, he can get rather stressed out and antsy, to the point of freezing up. However, he can still handle himself in a fight. Always has a helping hand.

He is 6'2", brown haired pulled into a shortened, traditional topknot. Lanky, but with tight, whiplike muscles, has painful scar tissue on left shin from the war.

Backstory: Daaniel was born in the fifth month, ninth day (standard time). His mother was an engineer, his father was an enforcer in the planetary defense force. The youngest of three children, he lived the first fifteen years of his life in a trader's vessel stationed outside Crisis-IV. He was always more comfortable on his own, but what friends he had were very close to him. He left his immediate family with his aunt to live on the planets surface after his father suffered a debilitating shot to the chest. During his first year of staying planetside, he learned about the amount of corruption in the continents bureaucratic class from his fathers friend, a former administration official, turned informant to his father. It was then he joined a group trying to "purify" the government.
Ten years later, the nineteenth Tech-Crusade was started by the Tehtraan, and the entire sector was turned into a battlefield. Daaniel joined to Imperial Army at age 27, and served as a bodyguard for a captain of the Navy. There, he served for a month until the ship was destroyed, and he and his captain escaped. He was then sent to the front lines as a sergeant, where he quickly became known for leading his soldiers using stealth and infiltration tactics. After four grueling months, he underwent his final transfer into the Hunter-Killer squads, used for taking out high-profile targets like Brain-Engines and Tech-Bishops. However, during his tenth mission, he disobeyed orders and set off an EMP, killing many enemies and saving many lives in the process. However, his actions also destroyed the machines used in the frontline hospital, killing thirty people civilians and soldiers. He was put on trial for manslaughter, but was spared that sentence, and was dishonorably discharged from service. When the war ended, he was contacted by the organisation known as the Interface, who were looking for former military members to add to their ranks. He joyfully accepted.
Currently, Daaniel is a captain of the second of five Bounty Hunter companies stationed in the sector. He married a human, but the strains of birth ended her life, and he now lives with his five year old son, Arthur, and his adopted venusian son Tel' Phurn, age nine.

Bounty Hunters character sheets

If you wanted to play this RP (http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/37761/posts/ooc), then this is the character creation sheet. Use it wisely. When you make a character, post it in the comment section. I will make a character and do likewise. When enough people make a character, we will start.

Race Chart

The various playable races so far. Words at the end of the description give a general role they match with. When making the race you want, Tell me what role they will have.
Human: The most populous, humans are well rounded skill-wise. However, they have a higher endurance than most races. They fall short with very little. anything, really
Venusian: Residents of Venus and various tropical planets, they are tall, lithe, and graceful. Skin color ranges anywhere from greyish orange to bluish-black. They have little physical endurance, and even less strength, but are extremely charismatic, and can talk their way into or out of problems easily. Espionage or Politics
Martian: Stocky and stout, these are used as bodyguards, soldiers, and heavy duty mechanics. They are physically strong, but are not very quick on the upkeep. They are, however, uncanny at reverse-engineering. They can unmake and remake a fully functional railgun, yet have no clue how it works. general combat, mechanics
Sabaatican: The humanlike residents of Sabaat-Nuens, they are steady on their feet, well balanced, and sneaky. They have a third eye in the middle of their forehead, and possess a kind of sixth sense. As a side note, they can work as ambassadors to other races. Political or Tactical
Tehtraan: technologically super-advanced races. The center for many conflicts, as their mysterious religion tells them to "actively spread the word of the Machine". Playing as one means you found a way to secede the gospel-mainframe. They look like any of the aforementioned races, with heavy tech implants. tech and information.

names

What names are typically found per race. however, be creative with names, and make up your own. This part is primarily suggestion.
Human- Your standard names. However, Mediterranean and Slavic names are the most common.
Martian- Names contain lots of gh, ul, ok, and dru as letter combinations. Names contain apostrophes in them commonly.
Venusian - Flowery names. Lots of phe, lun, sol, and rhe letter combinations.
Sabaatican- Humanlike names, but usually purposefully misspelled. (like Jahn instead of John, Naathanyel instead of Nathaniel, etc.) lots of double vowel names.
Tehtraan- Very few actually use names, most are a color and number combo( Grey-1543). Those actually with names have names that are also like the other races names, seeing as how the Tehtraan are from all races.

Standard Weapons

What the weapon shoots. You start off with two guns, one you make and a standard issue ballistic pistol.
Ballistic- This gun shoots bullets. Easy to maintain, and all around a good gun. Includes bolt and rocket weapons.
Gauss- these guns are harder to find, and are unwieldy and large. Used as armor-piercing.
Plasma- Ranges in colors from blue, to green, to red, even black. Used most commonly.
Ray- Unstable rad-tech. used to disrupt electronics. Only mounted on vehicles, but there is an expiremental variation or a ray cannon put on a ring.
Tesla- Fires bolts of electricity, used to kill everything in a general direction, but are extremely dangerous to the user. Favoured by the Tehtraan Gospel Enforcers.

Weapon Subtypes

What is the classification of weapons?
Pistol- easily concealed, more variations than you can count.
Rifle- accurate, semi-automatic weapons, the most commonly used, second to pistol.
Stubber- like an SMG.
Sniper rifle- A rifle used to take out distant targets.
Cannon- can be carried, but usually mounted on railing or vehicles.
Launcher- Inaccurate version of a can non, but with slightly more power.

Character Personality: Use the races chart to aid with this. Some personalities are near impossible (like a socialite Martian.) Mary Sues are subject to termination.

General look: What do they look like?

Backstory: Preferably two to four paragraphs long, tell me why your character is a bounty hunter. As a recommendation, try to stay away from the whole "My family is dead, hunting the person who did the crime, truth and justice and honor and grimdark and blah". Please make a reasonably realistic backstory. Or at least as reasonable as you can get in a sci-fi setting. This is also the name you give them.

Rank: you will be assigned a rank in the organization.

Cold and Alone [Dark; Post-Apoc]

TheMadAsshatter said
Well, since it's cold as shit, several diseases would have actually died off as either all of their carriers died or the microbes themselves couldn't take the cold. I'd have to do some research on the matter, but infection isn't impossible. No zombies, that has nothing to do with the plot, though several animals that used to live near the polar regions would have likely emigrated closer to the mid-latitudes, things like wolves, polar bears, arctic foxes, etc. I'm still thinking through the details, but if this garners enough interest I'll get to it.

so the world became radioactive Alaska essentially?

Cold and Alone [Dark; Post-Apoc]

I'll join. Is there anything you need to know?
Just one question. Are there zombies or an equivalent? I don't mind them, but it's a little overdone for post-apoc. settings.

I'm almost new here.

Cool, we should RP sometime

sure!

Dorf Fortress. Anyone interested?

Terminal said
Query: In adventure mode it is possible to start as a species other than Dorfs. Can we start as any Dorf-equivalent species? No Bronze Colossi or Voracious Cave Crawlers - Humans, Goblins, Kobolds, Blendecs, that sort of thing. Necromancers are also likely far too OP, but what about other creature states such as werebeasts, vampires, ghosts?

Yes, but you would probably start in a different location, but nearby the dorf's fort. I don't know about werebeasts or vampires, yet.
But that isn't a no, so I'll consider it. However, I know for certain that there will be no playing as a goblin.

Dorf Fortress. Anyone interested?

So me and a friend made rules for a (albiet very basic) tabletop compatible version of Dwarf Fortress.
I have the map made out, but the game is, you play as a Dwarf explorer. I would play as a GM.
The majority of roleplaying will be for you, I only enact events, GMPC, NPCs, and the like.

Random events (rolled every week) are used to add even more Fun than what you'd normally get!
Nothing Happens-nothing out of the ordinary occurs
Heavy Rains- even more rain falls, and it can quickly kill certain crops, and cause natural disasters like floods or mudslides.
Eruption-pockets of underground gasses erupt.
Goblin Raid- goblins sweep through the land, raiding small villages and the like.
Megabeast found- scouts or allies have found a nearby Megabeast. There are three so far. There is the Roc, a giant bird that can carry off livestock(or a dwarf if you are not careful), the Dragon, a large, firebreathing monster, and the Bronze Colossus, which is very hard to kill.
Elf Raid(only after elves send diplomats to you)- elf raids are not common, but are always swift and brutal.
Natural disaster- tidal waves, meteor, volcano, earthquake, and extreme thunderstorm
Plague- Various diseases, which are hard to cure.
Zombie Plague- when a plague is marked with a "Z", it has a sixty percent chance to reanimate the corpse into a bloodthirsty zombie.
War starts- a war between any of the races will start, doesn't directly affect you instantly.(Human vs. Elves, Human vs. Human, Kobold vs.Goblin, etc.)
Greater Threat found- A Greater Threat is found.
The greater threats are as follows.
Forgotten beasts- these monsters are quite large, and no two are alike, except that they are all underground, and they all crave Dwarf flesh
Demons(only after unsealing a gate to Hell)- Monsters that carry plague, and are nigh unstoppable.
Titans- above ground Forgotten Beasts, less strong due to exposure to the sun, but no less destructive.
Night Creatures- Like boogeymen, but they steal anyone from a civilized nation.

Other creatures, like animals, or minor beasts, will be shown when you find one.

Fire Emblem RP

Magic Magnum said
They're not Mary-sue's. :PTheir stats often suck compared to some characters... Or may I need remind people of Haar?

A Mary sue is a character without moral flaw, relatively overpowered, and loved by many people... Marth, Ephraim, Caeda, any female Manakete in any game.
