Just posting to add this character to the queue. Totally Ignore me.
[spoiler][quote=“KA101, post:5, topic:2170”]Yeah. I can understand wanting an antagonist, but I’d hate it for the antagonist to still have a character in the “party”, if you will.
As for using the OOC thread for OOC: it’s not like I can make anyone use it. If inline-OOC works, that’s all that matters. Just seemed like a good idea over on the UQM forums.
I see players having mutations and bionics–even artifacts–but the FBA isn’t working and the best mutation so far seems to be some level of Night Vision. (Guessing High at least? standard NV can be taken at chargen, so I imagine it wouldn’t mess up one’s eyes.) Man with the Hands would be overpowered for the group, but he didn’t have a problem with NPCs so I’m not sure he’d make a good antagonist.
Will post his stats once I look them up. Haven’t played that file in a while.
Here he is:
Ka’lol, The Man With The Hands
02FebBugfix Cata DDA
Story: Goo canister managed to corrode its way open, linked up with some Marloss berries he was storing nearby, and got into the abbatoir next door. Jabberwock resulted*. He managed to kill the thing–good workout, too–but the Lab is breached and isn’t suitable for further habitation. Since he’d about accomplished all he could at that location, he decided to pack up the gear and look for a few good survivors.
*02Feb was back in the days when cooking rotten food turned it fresh, but for story purposes he knows how to age meat properly.
Physical description:
Ka’lol is 6"2" (not quite 2 meters, IIRC) tall. Eyes are blue, feline pupils, and definitely gleam. Skin is somewhat reddish-brown but looks vaguely insectoid, with dull black strips here and there (chiefly in place of sunscreen or eye-black.) He wears an army helmet (woodland) over a large skull and pair of horns, which protrude out from the forehead much like those on a bull. They look like they’ve been around for a while. The safety glasses and bandana are actually fairly commonplace post-apocalypse: Ka’lol’s is olive green.
Most of his body is obscured by a thoroughly patched, blooded, repatched, and reblooded trenchcoat. He wears it unbuttoned, apparently for access to the belt rig visible inside. He’s got camouflage pants (woodland) and sneakers visible underneath. For some reason, his hands always seem to be behind his back, in his pockets, or linked inside his sleeves when you’re looking.
He moves quickly and quietly, even under a new moon.
