[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7869613, member: 19675"] Heh- I’ve burned a LOT of great backgrounds on campaigns that cratered in weeks or months. Some that didn’t: I had a drow MU/TH that believed it was an Android from another dimension, that had been programmed to perform the role of a Drow MU/TH in a competitive LARP game- think of the original [I]Westworld[/I] or [I]Dream Park. [/I]While the campaign lasted a while, the truth was never revealed. Alien gladiatrix who won her freedom, found Earth, and turned superhero. She had to eat her normal body mass in food daily in order to power her super abilities. But because of her alien biology, she also sometimes had adverse reactions to terrestrial food. A superhero in power armor whose main arsenal was designed around taking down other power armor goons, AIs, robots, Androids, cyborgs, etc., with a side dish of crowd control. He was extremely concerned-almost paranoid- that mechanical intelligences should never dominate humanity, He was so paranoid, in fact, that he intentionally built his suit to be difficult to use by anyone unfamiliar with the unique programming language he himself had created for the project. A Diviner/Ranger/Spellsword based on Indiana Jones, used a whip and Shortsword for TWF. Because the 2 players in the campaign running healers moved out of state, this character was retired @9th level or so, in favor of... A Cleric/Sorcerer/Geomancer based mainly on DC’s Vertigo-era Swamp Thing. His devotion to slo things green had been rewarded with becoming increasingly plantlike- all of his Geomancer Drift mutations w of the floral variety. [/QUOTE]
