Brigitta Nielson (Final)

Brigitta Nielson

Briggita might be considered a nice girl...if it wasn't for her unhealthy fascination with cadavers. Classically trained the finest medical school in Vienna, her talents are wasted on occult mummery and grave-robbing. Despite her fascination with things no longer living, she is a first-rate surgeon when she puts her mind to it.

Her obsession with death and dying has led her to various battlefields around Europe, where she has become somewhat of an expert in a variety of battlefield injuries. In addition, she has gained a decent knowledge in the latest killing instruments of the day. Although she is a wisp of girl, years of hauling corpses about as given her strength that belies her size.

[Old One]

When are we shooting to get started? I will be traveling most of today and tomorrow and will have limited connectivity. I should be good to go after mid-day on Friday.

[solomoncane]

I'll actually be out-of-touch from mid-day Friday through this weekend.
Next Monday forward looks free and clear.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

If we can get the characters all finished up, then I will prepare the "Introduction" over the weekend and you all can dive in starting Monday evening or Tuesday.

Below I have attached "miniature scale" counters for all of the characters so far.

Please download all of them to a convenient Slavelords PbP folder. I will use them for creating maps and you may also make use of them yourselves for the same purpose.

I have larger versions saved as well if anyone needs one.

Final: T. Rawley Sutton

The son of a rancher, T. Rawley's strength of character and mind have kept him alive more times than he can count. As a cavalry soldier, he found that his seemingly innate understanding of people won him fast friends (and sometimes mortal enemies). T. Rawley took sick during an operation down south and spent over a year recovering, though he never gained back his 'ranch hand' strength, a fact that still bothers him to this day.

Transforming his empathic strengths into a career, T. Rawley became a war and political correspondant, traveling the country, and the globe, bringing emotional first-hand accounts of the horrors of war to a hungry audience.

I'm out Friday afternoon to Monday, as well. Going to Six Flags!

 

[nakia]

Sorry to be the slacker. I got to work this morning and my computer was in a pile outside my office. I was alarmed for a moment, but realized I was just getting a new desk (I've only been here two weeks. I don't think they would kick me out yet). I'm about to post a rough draft of Teddy Carlyle and will wait for comments/suggestions. Then we'll have the final done by tonight.

Next week, my brother is getting married, so I'll be away from Wed afternoon until Sunday night.

------------------------------------

Teddy's from the Bronx, son of Irish immigrants. He occasionaly finds work as a steamfitter or general mechanic. He's got a bit of a drinking problem, which gets him into lots of fights. One of these fights (against four other knife-wielding guys from Queens) left him near death in a back alley, where he was found by Brigitte. She sewed him up and now he helps her out -- he's a sneaky guy despite his size.

---------------------------------------------

Teddy is open for comments and criticism. Ways to make him better? Equipment he needs? Did I forget something or calculate wrongly? Should I take rage instead of Robust?

You need one more feat. Love the lunchbox and the 'war club.'

I need to know all of your core skills, even if you didn't put ranks in them. You should have 9 core skills: 1 Craft, 1 Profession, 1 Knowledge, and 6 of your choice. So you need two more core skills.

Languages: English

Feats
Armor Proficiency (Light, Medium)
Shield Proficiency
Simple Weapons Proficiency
Martial Wepon Proficiency (baseball bat -- treat as war club?)
1) Unless you want an actual martial (military) melee weapon, then you should switch this out for Personal Firearms Proficiency.

2) You only need Simple Weapon Proficiency to use a club (even a baseball bat).

3) A baseball bat would not qualify as a war club.

1st Level
Endurance
Brawl

2nd Level
Die Hard (tough)

Talents
Robust
Melee Smash

Equipment
Baseball Bat (treat as war club d8, 20/x3, M, Range 10)
Pipe wrench
Both of these weapons would just be clubs: d6 damage, 20, x3. The baseball bat might qualify as mw.

Heavy leather coat (+1 AC)

Meachanics tools (wrenches, sockets, pliers, etc)

Duffel bag

Rage is an advanced talent. You'd have to be Tough 3 to take it. But I would put it on my list for next level!
