Savage Worlds: Weird West (Full)

Alright, I'm looking to put a game together to play Deadlands, aka Weird West!

My search to put a group together actually started on Reddit, and I've got 2 players so far, hoping for 2 more.

I'm providing a link to that post rather than copy-pasting, and I won't respond to applicants that didn't read the provided material, especially the op in the link, and comments, both of which should answer multiple questions, so please read carefully before commenting with questions. I don't like repeating myself.

Ok, so I'm meant to be playing the character already established?

Alright, I'll make adjustments where necessary as you've defined, and ping you when it's done.

@Martian Update: ok, so, going to be more changes than you're originally asking for. Considering the lengthy history of the character, I'm narrowing the focus to his time with the Avengers, and working that into the setting. I still want to Use the Evil Uncle bit, did you want me to stick to canon as close as possible, or can I retcon so his Evil Uncle bit was a part of the Hydra problem, like, he was an Agent of Hydra?

...Ghostbusters?

So how different will the tech be from the movie's tech? Having to fiddle with the quirks and flaws of makeshift proton packs and ghost traps sounds really interesting.

@DrDistasteful

It's different in a way that I'm keeping as a surprise, but is at least superficially similar to the Real Ghostbusters equipment.

...Ghostbusters?

Sweet! Same plan, and hopefully a more fleshed out OOC in a proper thread will get two more, assuming we don't already get more interest before then

...Ghostbusters?

Awesome!

Haven't been able to raise a response from the first interested party in a while, so this might just be back to one. >_>U

I'll go ahead and make an ooc this week and share the link when it's ready.

@Martian

How's that? ready for the character's tab, or does it need work?

Avengers Unlimited [On Hiatus]

Name: Dane Whitman

Codename: Black Knight

Age: 36

Gender: Man (Male would be "Sex", if that's what you meant)

Appearance:

Personality:
Dane is motivated both by a legacy of duty, and atonement. He's trained his whole life for "fighting the good fight". He originally had a background in science, so while his weapons and powers are magical in nature, he's not lost in conversations relating to scientific matters. His Masters was in Physics, but he's also proficient in a variety of advanced sciences and technologies.

Powers/Abilities:
Swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, scientific knowledge and experience. Horsemanship as well
By the magic imbued in him, he enjoys mildly enhanced physical abilities, and some minor mystical abilities such as seeing through magic illusions.

The Ebony Blade, a magical sword forged from a meteor (vibranium??), passed down in his family along with the mantle of Black Knight. It's wielder is bonded to the blade by their very soul, allowing it to be summoned back to them if it should be lost, along with a laundry list of other traits:
shear through any physical substance with the exception of other enchanted weapons and extremely strong metals like adamantium.
cleaves mystical barriers
deflect energy when angled correctly
absorb all forms of energy
discharges force of its own
bypass intangibility
protection from mysticism
bestows an incredible healing factor

He also built a Light Shield into his left gauntlet, a scientific device that creates a shield of solid light to protect from physical attacks.

He rides his winged horse into battle, enabling him to fight on land as well as from the sky. He's been developing leadership skills, as well as strategic and tactical skills.

History: Dane comes from a long line of Black Knights, starting with Sir Percy of Scandia under the reign of King Arthur. His Uncle was the first in the current era to take up the mantle. Unfortunately, he did this under the direction of Hydra. His misdeeds were ultimately what led to his demise, being mortally wounded during the Hydra/SHIELD conflict by Iron Man, and he repented with his last breath as he begged forgiveness to Dane, passing on the title to him. With his uncle's death, he also inherited Castle Garret, in England, where he promptly relocated. There, he met the spirit of Sir Percy, himself, and was magically granted The Ebony Blade, becoming his primary weapon, as well as his winged steed, Aragorn. There was an early struggle when he reintroduced the world to The Black Knight, and people didn't realize he wasn't his uncle. The Avengers came to investigate the alarm that an Agent of Hydra was alive and well, resulting in a battle, but they eventually realized their mistake. He happily accepted the offer to lead an Avengers team, viewing it as an extension of his service as The Black Knight.

Supporting Cast:Blade, Captain Britain, Meggan aka "Gloriana", Motormouth and Pete Wisdom

Notes:

Theme Song: Demon's Souls Song

While the Arcade character does sound interesting, if I had to pick I'd go with Black Knight as this RP is more canon (with some reimagining) focused. That and he's a badass character who doesn't get enough love.

@Martian

Black Knight it is, than! I'll try to work something up this evening, getting a little overwhelmed for trying to do too much this weekend. I'll work something up soon, and look forward to joining the game!

@Martian

Hmmm... So, I kind of like these ideas, and I don't plan on running multiple characters, so I'll go with whichever you think is a better fit?

Arcade (A reimagined, non-villain character, simply with the same name. Or could be treated as the original, I don't know how you'd handle that; the character has existed in the comics since the 1970's, and still occasionally shows up, a relatively recent target of his being Gwenpool) I'd rather make him a... I don't want to say "anti-hero", but I definitely don't want him to be a villain, maybe not as heroic as others... I guess that's just a flawed hero, isn't it? He would have light based powers, instead of a death-trap puzzle gimmick a la his namesake. He can shape colors/light into various game implements; easier feats such as balls of light bouncing around an area like a pinball, shielding himself with giant cards, or throwing cubes (like dice) that roll like giant boulders. With concentration, he can simply manifest laser bolts, or create other light constructs with a video game aesthetic. His powers actually aren't limited to this, but his love of games make these methods the easiest for him to pull off. The light constructs are usually neon colors, and can, to a limited extent, maintain substantial force, enabling his constructs to inflict damage or block attacks. These are Mutant Powers, not magical.

@BenG85
Although I don’t want to stifle creativity, I don’t think that Doctor Doom would work for this RP. He is pretty firmly established as a villain and I do have plans for him if this RP progresses far enough. So I would appreciate it if you picked another character. A possible suggestion would be Mister Fantastic as he is related to Doom and still has some of the mad scientist vibe going on.

@NinaDivine
Kate Bishop would totally be acceptable as she has been an Avenger before (well a Young Avenger and then a West Coast Avenger). But yeah if you are interested, put together a character sheet for me to look over.

@Martian

Darn. Well, I'll explore some other characters (not feeling the list, but I appreciate the gesture).

I'll get back to you with an option or two for consideration this weekend.
