Character Creation - Precinct 9

[Dave Syrinx]

Post your character ideas here. From the promotion thread I stated six available characters at the station. Another six characters will operate in the area around the station.

Retirement cop, rookie, clerks and a couple of thugs in holding cells.

Six bank robbers or similar.

Depending on what characters are created the scenario might turn out differently than I envisioned. That´s the charm of it.

[Mr. Handy]

Here are my character creation rolls for one of the bank robbers: Character creation rolls (STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP, SIZ, INT, EDU) (3d6=7, 3d6=11, 3d6=16, 3d6=14, 3d6=15, 2d6+6=14, 2d6+6=14, 3d6+3=14)

His character sheet is listed below. I'll also be playing the rookie cop; her sheet will follow later.

Background: Jimmy Chin grew up as a poor kid on the streets of Hong Kong and soon fell into a life of crime. He has one asset that really helps in his line of work: an honest face. His good looks and glib tongue have kept him out of trouble more than once. Jimmy steals from the rich and gives to himself. He has always longed to be wealthy, and so when some of his underworld contacts started putting together a bank heist with the promise of a huge haul, he jumped at the chance to join the team.

[Mr. Handy]

And here are character creation rolls for my rookie cop: Character creation rolls - second try (STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP, SIZ, INT, EDU) (3d6=12, 3d6=10, 3d6=11, 3d6=9, 3d6=8, 2d6+6=15, 2d6+6=13, 3d6+3=13). I've swapped SIZ with INT and switched around most of my stats that were rolled on 3d6.

Background: Victoria Wolf is a British expatriate living in Hong Kong. She was born there while it was still a British colony, where her father Bertram was a constable. He remained behind with his family after Hong Kong was transferred to China because Hong Kong had become his home and he loves the city. Victoria has always looked up to him and decided at a very early age that she would follow in his footsteps. After graduating from high school, she attended the police academy, where she has only recently completed her training and been assigned to Precinct 9. Eager to prove herself, she looks forward to her first assignment, blissfully unaware of what awaits.

[Dave Syrinx]

William, you may choose to play a police rather than a criminal. It´s up to you. Or even a cop working under cover in "the gang". Whatever you do, you will begin at the Supermarket.

/Dave

[William]

Ok, here is my criminal street kid. Let me know if something is amiss.

Name: Aden Sepich
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Occupation: Criminal
Current Residence: Hong Kong



Characteristics
STR: 13
CON: 13
SIZ: 15
DEX: 4
APP: 16
INT: 12 (IDEA - 60)
POW: 10 (LUCK - 50)
EDU: 12 (KNOW - 60)

Sanity: 50
Phobias/Mental Disorders: None
Maximum Sanity Points: 99
Hit Points: 14
Magic Points: 10
Damage Bonus: +1D4


Background: Aden Sepich was born in Massachusetts, but when he was in Middle School his father got a job in Hong Kong and dragged his family across the world. Displacing Aden didn't go well. A self destructive rebel through school, he started to dabble in petty crime during his late teens. Eventually things progressed until he was involved in some seedy street races in the back alleys of Hong Kong. As a newcomer he quickly proved himself capable.....until he got busted in a car crash that crunched up his right arm. A stint in prison after a short hospital stay didn't teach him any lessons, and now he's ready to make up for the lost time.

[Dave Syrinx]

Aden, having 4 in dexterity will probably have injured himself in one of the races. He still has his aptitude for driving and is good at things not requiring him to move quickly. He´ll recover 1 dex every month he succeeds in training his agility. This he usually does at the shooting range - practicing stunt maneuvers while looking cool. A roll below his dex on a d20 will get him one extra point in dex. The limit for Aden is 4x2=8 his dodge score will increase with 2% every time he gains one point.

So far he has had two months of training. Roll twice at Invisible castle to see if he regains any dex. Also roll for Handgun skill 50% as he has been spending a lot of time on the range. (Above 50% grants 1d10 points in shooting skill.)

He´s good to go, if you are fine with my adjustments...

And, I need a picture for Aden. You got something we can use?

/Dave

[William]

Ok. I had dumped 11 skill points into his dodge cause it was kinda low. You want me to drop it down to 8? If so, should I take those 11 points I put into Dodge and allot them into something else?

And my results (failure).

1d20=8, 1d20=13, 1d100=22

I'll find a picture and hopefully post some more later today, but my power is on for about 30 minutes at a time, then it goes out for about 30 more minutes. The snowstorm we had last night hasn't been kind, so feel free to carry on for a day without me if necessary. Things should be fine after that and then I can post regularly.

cheers

[Mr. Handy]

I don't think that's what he's saying, just that if your DEX did increase, your Dodge score would also automatically increase by 2 points for every point your DEX rises (though your DEX could rise no higher than 8). Putting points into Dodge shouldn't be a problem.

[Dave Syrinx]

Yup, that´s right. No need to change anything.

The dex will get your dodge up when raised. Too bad on those rolls, and on the snow storm, William.
On the other bits for your character: What ride does Aden drive? And what limb do you prefer being damaged from the crash (leading to the 4 dex score)?

[William]

Ok, I edited the character sheet with some pics, and changed the description to specify he had his right arm banged up which seemed to make sense because that would be the side closest to the door if he was driving in Hong Kong. The car I gave him is a model targeted at Asian markets. It's faster than your average car, but it's no trillion dollar sports car either. The price is equivalent to about $30,000 USD, which I figured would be more realistic than giving him a Lambo or whatever.

For what it's worth I wondered what hand Aden favored, since his right one was hurt and all. To determine that, I made a Luck roll, which failed, so I guess he is right handed. It's up to you, but if you want to give him an appropriate penalty in hand-to-hand or something that would be fine by me. Like a damage bonus reduction or something since it seems he hasn't healed very well. Or maybe having DEX 4 is penalty enough. I wouldn't want to gimp him too much, but you have a better judge of how things might play out than I do. I just thought it might make things a little more realistic/interesting. It's up to you.
