I'm going to need an explanation on that one, OP.

>>14769805
How did he get spider man from tarantulas?

also can i get the template?

I wish I was kidding.

>>14769853
No, how you wound up playing a cross-dresser/tranny.

>>14769805

it makes a scary kind of sense.

if goblins were jews.

>>14769946

IF?

Source on tattoo girl?!

so, a little explanation to kick things off:

my character is based off of Tarantulas from "beast wars." he's an indulgent, scurrilous, omnisexual carnivore out to seduce/eat/experiment on whatever lifeform is slow enough to stumble into his web.

since I based him off a transformer whose altmode is a spider, I figured it would make the most sense to pick the race that can do that too (Aranea) since it gives very little and will hardly break the game. it was more for flavour anyway since assuming the shape of a medium monstrous spider is very seldom useful.

the origin for him is that he is a monstrous spider that got kicked out of his cave due to very unusual circumstances. he was trying to find a larger cavern for his brood since he had too many children. he ended up falling for a big, hunky swashbuckler hard and went off on a treasure hunt with him.

he touched the forbidden treasure and got cursed to remain in human form. the meathead swashbuckler he's traveling with has no idea why he's been so sulky lately, and telling hack 'n' slash adventurers you're a closeted monster is never a good idea.

the player of the swashbuckler's been pretty cool about the whole thing, keeping the player/character knowledge firmly apart since the player's obviously a lot smarter than the swashbuckler. our chars are all cooey and disgusting in combat and we tease everyone else with our shmoopy cartoonish twu wuv

problems didn't begin until I moved and had to join a different circle. due to party balance junk, Aranea (my character's name) the beguiler was the character I had handy that'd fit with everyone else. I thought little of it. obviously I couldn't rp with the swashbuckler without his player, so I just figured this would be before aranea met him/got cursed. the fact that this dm pretty much insisted I actually be allowed to play as an aranea instead of using human stats like in the game with the swashbuckler honestly should've been a warning sign, but it wasn't.

in-game, it's done very little thus far except allowing aranea to throw webs on people several times a day.

here's where things got out of hand really quickly.

as an offhand comment, I once said "catches thieves just like flies!" as I apprehended a criminal with my web. from that day forward, my group has referred to my char as gay spider-man.

it didn't help that none of them are transformers fans, much less beast wars fans (they've never heard of it, it's not that they don't like it) so I can't make any beast wars jokes and just pretty much resort to making jokes about wanting to have sex with all the big beefy blondes that we run across.

thus. I have my 3 images.

He was the son of my first character in that campaign back to avenge his father's death (it's not quite as cheesy as it sounds, his father's primary motivation was to find his son).

sure thing guys, I was just typing it out beforehand so I could post it all at once. I know, right. and thanks for knowing who tarantulas is! I even do the voice and everything

here is the template:

thanks for replying so fast! I love these things, they make me so happy :)

Risus.

In these threads: I post this.

>>14769956
Scion of Tlaloc, start off playing an appearance heavy pediatrician. As the plot progresses she drifts closer and closer to her divine parentage, seen in both her numerous tattoos and the numerous scars she picks up along the campaign. As the campaign comes to a close she winds up becoming the Goddess of Pain in her pantheon, her divine appearance showing the unreal beauty of her tattoo work, or every wound she ever suffered gaping bare across her body. Nothing I have found can do it justice, but the undead jaguar warrior works well enough.

Alas the sauce on the tattoo picture I have lost, I discovered it during a deep plunge into the depths of Google image search and know not where to find it again.

this next one is for the swashbuckler that is aranea's boyfriend/traveling companion/tank/meat shield/ etc. his name is Massimo Stell'urlo.

For those of you who speak Italian, you know that means Starscream. And that's who he is based off of. scheming (yet incompetent) fearless (without justification) and despite the dm's best efforts, impossible to kill. (gotta love those big, hard d10s)

group of half a dozen ghouls against a lvl 1 party? aranea and massimo made short work of them. massimo kept them at bay with amazing rapier work and aranea debuffed by putting fake walls with silent image that the dumb meatsacks kept failing their throws against. did massimo make his fort saves? you bet your ass he did.

the player of massimo plays him like a 1940s pulp hero. swinging off chandeliers, laughing boisterously and giving speeches on how kickass he is. flynning with his sword all day, erryday, protecting his sweetie from danger and the forces of evil and riding around on his white elephant.

yes. of course the dm says we can't have nice things, so we said it was an elephant that had been turned into a horse the same way aranea was turned into a human.

of course, funny, lighthearted PG pirate types have no place in terrible tolclone campaigns, complete with boring prophecies, puzzles that take 4 hours to solve that are nothing but moving rocks around and no opportunity to role-play during the dms cinematic cutscenes of npcs talking to the walls behind us. so, the dm viewed poor massimo as out of place to say the least

with no opportunity to role-play out of combat, massimo did the next best thing and started tossing off one-liners in between swordstrokes, mandy patinkin style. thus.

aranea and massimo, partners in crime

tarantulas/zorro
spider-man/don quixote

>>14770203

thanks for the explanation. sounds like a very cool character. I love putting in different pantheons into d20. I'm especially excited about playing dr. facilier in an upcoming game. here's pretty much how I see it going

>gouda

Here's a handy tip if you play in a game with no PVP restrictions and you don't want people to know what a murder machine your character is: Pretend to be a furry.

Everyone still thinks I'm playing a high-charisma character and I'm just a weirdo myself. The day of reckoning fast approaches.

>>14770340

How the hell...?

>>14770450
transhumanism is awesome

(also becoming power hungry, adopting a post-human ideology, and deciding to wipe out those inferior 'transhumans' is all in a days work)

Deadlands, bitch.

the baby is a metaphor for the party

the werewolf is not a metaphor, its a werewolf

My Deathwatch strike team had no repairer, so I volunteered to make a Techmarine.

He pretty much fed the team information, and was always the one to bust vehicles. If he wasn't tankbusting, he would always be the one carrying the kraks.

Thing is, besides the tankbusting part, he's pretty much a Martellus clone, what with being the first guy to bring the bad news.

>>14770547
You were playing a paladin werewolf?

>>14769992
DM thought "banana dragon" was a euphemism, eh?

>>14770380
AAAAAAAAA! LACKADAISYCATS! fucking love that comic. lol, brings me to another character (this was one that I was the player of) named Marvin Shaprio.

like the lackadaisycats, he is a prohibition era bootlegger. he is a human though, and not an anthropomorphised cat. he and his wife (played by massimo's player again) built a time machine in the hopes of finding some people to buy alcohol from that they might sell it at higher prices. (because their backstory is a comedy) the time machine malfunctions and sucks in marvin, fia, and a bunch of the stuff that was lying around the room. (distilling equimpent, guns, phonograph, etc)

and we find ourselves in eberron.

the first session, marvin gets a longtem businessplan in mind. dm allowed the shapiros to take ranks in "craft (mechanical)" from d20 modern that we can use to make 30s tech, such as bullets for our handguns.

and by the same token of logic, parts for the handguns, since we're the only ones who know how to repair them.

and by that logic, every part in the gun. thus, guns. that we can sell.

the crafting time is astronomical, but at 1000gp a pop, it'll be more than worth it in the long run.

marvin has had a preposterous amount of schemes, not limited to:

- inviting bards over to record them on his record player and invent the music industry, selling vinyls

- helping the local feudal lord collect taxes by telling him how the state lotto works and suggesting they implement one instead of a tax. that way people will buy more than one ticket (ergo, pay their tax more than once) in order to win a prize that is larger than their taxes were (but much lower than the gross revenue)

- hired the PC wizard to write spells into his spellbook for when he gets his levels in chamelon (as you probably guessed by the high levels of troll, marvin is a factotum)

again, as you probably inferred, marvin and fia are italian jews, and as a result, make lots of jew jokes. their chemistry together is much like the thin man and his wife from the "thin man" serials.

the dm is very encouraging of marvin's schemes, and even informed me that I should put ranks in "knowledge(business)" another d20 modern skill in order to cut down on production time.

marvin was even allowed to give a sales pitch (ron popeil style) at a local bowyers. all the dorfs in the place lost their shit seeing a Remington M1911 .45 in action.

after a long stint rping a prison interrogation scene (basically convincing a changeling spy to turn on his old allies because they screwed him over and to fess up and tell us what he knows) fia's player joked I had told him to go "state's witness" because that's 30s slang criminals use.

I then realised I was a time traveling, fast talking jewish con artist with magical powers. the third panel supplied itself

What I Made: A six-armed spider humanoid who gathers souls for a dracolich.
What The DM Saw: Man-Spider.
What I Played: Probably my most challenging character to date - a depressed, homeless (until recently) drug addict. And I think I can do a lot better.

Trust me, Monday I'll have a new character to gush about, I swear! But Roxolan runs a damn good game.

I'm not even sure how this happened.

>>14770557
apparently, yes.

i sold my soul to an evil genie so i could reroll

>>14770638

>>14770706
could you explain what the two on the left are? I'm excited to hear your tale of confusion. that eyepatch guy looks about as far as you can get from superman

In other news, any attempt at moral relativism with our group fails hard.

Mixed oWoD game. I was playing an NWO. Fun times were had by all.

>>14770743

what? I need an explanation

>>14770739
Eyepatch guy is Kempachi, a character from Bleach, who is basically a chaotic neutral badass who loves swordfighting (which was my original character). Guy in the middle is Guts from Berserk, who is basically a chaotic neutral mercenary who loves fighting and uses a giant weapon (which my character did). We're still playing this game, but by this point I'm the party leader, moral compass, and voice of reason for the group. And I don't even use a sword any more.

>>14770758

This is actually a group version. Really. Savage worlds, with the DM's intent of doing an Indiana Jones style adventure of pulp with adventurers running about. Character wise, there was the girl with the charisma boost (and therefore could cleavage stun almost anything), the nerdy girl, the weird mascot character, etc.

And then when asked something in German, our weapons guy calmy said 'Bonjourno', and opened fire on full auto.

>>14770796
That sounds amazing.

Dark Heresy game we've been running here at college for the past year. At the end of the year the GM had us make these and coming onto this thread I figured I'd share these with short little stories attached. So this first one was Khan, our local nutjob cleric That Guy. Is that a nice piece of jewelry around the bad guys neck? Its Heresy! Smash it! Is that a glowing weapon full of chaos energy? Its Heresy! Smash it in a confined area with the party all around it! Did the party Guardsman not agree with me? Heretic! Start Mexican Standoff #43. Is that another heretical item in a confined area! Smash it despite getting a shitton of corruption like last time! He eventually died when we had a Cultist-Chan and Drannon cameo where the party was about to get off scott free because we beat the shit out of Cultist-Chan and amused Drannon in the process. Khan, at the time was lead to believe Cultist-Chan was his daughter (she wasn't) and in an attempt to purge the HERESY he throws a grenade at her. After the angry space marine tells us we can leave. We were about Rank 4. The rest of the party booked it and Drannon proceeded to remove Khans upper body with a single bullet. The party did not mourn his death.

>>14770809

It really was. It's a shame the DM's attempts to curb our rampant sociopathy led the greater majority of the group to hate savage worlds as a system.

Made: A bruiser in diplomat's clothing, which while strange enough as it was, was in a game of politics and high intrigue. The reason was that I figured somebody had to be ready to do the fighting, no matter what the general idea of the game was.

Saw: The GM and other players were not amused that I tended to use violence as a first resort, even though it often ended up being the CORRECT course of action, because it ruined their elaborate schemes and counterplots that were easily foiled by punching out the effete villain of the week.

Played: Their little weenie guys really shouldn't have pissed on my character so many times. Eventually I was basically the nemesis that they kept being forced to pair up with.

I suppose I can repost some of mine. Really haven't been in many games to make many of these.

Anyhow. CTech game. Bit of a space setting with Battelstar Galactica vibes. I made a mecha pilot, name of Leon Jaeger, who ended up a bit of a cypher, but I'd intended to end up be a sort of badass with a fancied-up, bright red killer robot. Unfortunately, CTech doesn't have rules for making the Alt Eisen. Nineball will have to do, although I did have him acting more like Kyosuke Nanbu, for those familair with SRW, come to think of it.

The DM treated our party of mecha and engel pilots more like standard CoC investigators for much of the game, with us seeing more action on foot investigating and messing around than anything else. Not too bad, though.

As the game progressed, Leon quickly ended up the least sane, notably after accidentally killing his family while in the grip of some hallucinations. He then ended up secretly betraying the party and joining forces with a shoggoth who happened to prefer looking like a woman with long blue hair. Disturbingly, even after he was insane and a traitor, about the only outward sign was that he acted much more coldly and efficiently. Next to some of the other PCs, he seemed downright stable. Kept his eye on the mission, and so-on.

This was the first and last time I ever played a female character.

So, Same guy makes a Sister of Battle right after his cleric dies. Lets note that we were on a Beatles planet (GM is total bro and loves dropping silly things that shouldn't exist in the GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE) called Nowhere. On the planet along with many other Beatle themed areas was the Screaming Sisterhood, a coven of Sororitas that were total stoners and chill as fuck. So the That Guy has to go from being always angry all the time to chillaxed. Now, a part of his character is that shes a singer, with an intelligence of over 50. I'd like to note every time he tries to sing (always at awkward times mind you) He fails. Miserably. Every time hes tried to sing Yellow Submarine it's a different color, a few times even a different vehicle. He was fine until his character and the party scum she was dating broke it off, and then returned to the always angry all the time bitch. Prior to this she was pregnant with his child. Leading to the situation where the party decided to off the child due to 1) She became super moody bitch (Even though she was only like a month in) and 2) We didnt need to deal with a pregnant sororitas on the field. So we let the party psyker constrict the fetus and as an insult, our GM had the parties inquisitor give her a Cherub. Unfortunately she liked it.

LEMAN TYBOLT! Group insane 'commissar' guardsman whose player didn't origionally seem like he'd make it to the second session. Turns out he's possibly one of the best party members contributing greatly in both combat and rp humor. Leman was the guardsman that Khan and later Novia and Mira (That Guy's Third but shortlived character) hated with no real reasoning besides the player effectively trolling him on his mistakes. Literally he'd go about giving people Power Hugs to cheer them up/make them feel better, consistantly rolling very well on each one. During the Christmas break though,we had a christmas DH special where Leman proceeded to Intimidate people to find a gun store, get arrested and broken out of jail. The party is hired to take out Robo-Santa (think Futurama) a man of iron. We get to his workshop to discover in a coal covered room, a pristine fruitbowl. As the party is about to investigate, LEMAN TYBOLT pulls out his RPG and blows it to smithereens. After going downstairs we find converyor belts with toys on them, one being a mini terminator armor. He proceeds to pick it up, only to have it come to life and wrestle his thumb off. I think you can all tell by this point that our DH sessions haven't been all too grimdark, not that we mind.

i dun geddit

I'm in limbo. I don't know enough history and social stuff to be decent in a game that focuses on that side of things, my friends are not interested in that type of game in the slightest, but I want more than just playing chess.

She was a brick
houuuuuuse

True story.

For being so stupidly straightforward, this is actually one of my favorite characters to play. I made: a drunk oni grappler who is a blatant Suika expy. DM saw right through me. I played exactly what I made. Drunk, hardly paying attention unless there's beer or a fight, doing random things that are funny and likely to be bad for her or the party, etc.

Part of a very weird fantasy-themed M&M game. My character is perhaps the least unusual of the party, which otherwise consists of an awakened mimic, an amnesiac angel with a big gun, and a chaotic evil psionic chia pet. We do adventures for money, and there's a plot in there about ancient evils returning to threaten the world or something, somewhere.

Anyhow, sometimes, it's refreshing to be straightforward.

Rolled a bard, true neutral, worshipped the Raven Queen. Carried around a scythe mostly for intimidation/performances. Had the whole "death is sacred" shtick, loathed every necromancer we came across.

DM saw me as a female personification of death intent on taking the lives of those whose time had come.

Fuck naw. I put a point in Whip Proficiency and rolled with it. SO FUN.

Almost thought this thread was dead. I'll keep posting if anyones still reading atleast.

Party psyker, Varnius started out as a meek cowardly character (can't blame him seeing how he was shot pointblank by a pre-errata ballistic servitor during his first combat and nearly died because of it) to the parties Interrogator Post-Ascension. Biomancer/Pyromancer/Telepath, Varnius quickly became party babysitter, stopping fights between Leman and Kahn, putting Calamity's (Second psyker) fires out and generally making sure people stayed alive during combat. Shortly after Lesley Nielson died, the player and the GM came up with the idea that next time Varnius would phenomena, it would instead summon Lesley Nielson's Ghost. Since she used Inspiring Aura, Lesley Nielson became the parties War Banner against chaos, and after it wore off, the GM saw it fit to let his soul possess the players Nomad Sniper Rifle having the words "Naked" inscribed on the gun. Most times shes fired the gun, the GM plays an inspirational clip of Lesley Nielson saying something witty. Oh yeah, Varnius was the psyker that constricted Novia's baby. Beat my plan of poisoning her with 2 liters of cyonide.

Not to say that I was disappointed in how it turned out..

No, not always.
In this case I told the party I was going to make a superhero martial artist.
They imagined he would be some kind of jedi-chi master, doing secret spinning kick techniques.
Instead, he hit people in the face, then continued to hit them when they fell down.

>>14771097
Sauce for frame three?

Tyrus Calrasi the party scum based off a rehash of a starwars character that he had made in the past. Tyrus was the dumbwitted money grubbing rule of cool guy who gained Hatred (Invisible people) after the first mission. Now let me explain, we used auspex incorrectly and kept coming across an invisible person stalking us during the mission. We chased after it throughout the mansion shooting at it occasionally before it managed to jump out of a window, where Tyrus managed to score quite the impressive Righteous Fury on it, scoring the only blood spurt we managed from it. Also to note: That Guy decides to grapnel down after it chasing it by himself before it loses him in the crowd. After this mission though Tyrus begins to pick up some interesting character traits, mainly his slowly growing love for fire, seeing how on Nowhere he decimated nearly an entire squad of Orks, including da Nob with his flamethrower-arm. Tyrus was Novias boyfriend, and, surprisingly to the party, was also up for killing the child. Post Ascension, he became a Crimelord with a bit of influence that we stretched by making a Resteraunt on a pleasure world (Named Tankreds) as a cover for our operations and his crime syndicate. To spread our power and complete our mission, we hosted (in the name of our competitors) a mass banquete for the young nobility (Due to Eldar Dickery and a Genestealer cult in that age group). Now, the entire party had something amazing to go with this event, though Tyrus' was mostly due to his deranged logic. Upon seeing the Fire Alarm, he questioned: "If it's a FIRE alarm, why doesn't it shoot out FIRE?" and proceeded to fill the sprinkler system with weapons grade promethium, causing the entire place to go up in flames.

Oh, by the way, that invisible person in the first mission that was stalking us that freaked Tyrus out? That was our Inquisitor. He never lived us down for shooting at him.

http://romanticallyapocalyptic.com/

pics/mentions of deadpool (I used the same pic, lol) remind me of one of the characters in a game I DM (god, I'm in a lot games) played by one of my friends.

his first time playing the game, understandably, it takes a while for him to gel, there's a bit of a learning curve for everyone the first game. he starts out bad.

setting is light medieval fantasy. think pretty much like the beginning of "enchanted" nothing too heavy historical-wise, nothing grimdark. it's the first game, just sorta a little cartoony tutorial until I can introduce them to the important NPCs and show how skillchecks and stuff works.

he starts rping jack bauer.

now, this is bad enough on its own, especially since he keeps saying shit about dvd players and stuff and there's only so many times a DM can have an npc be all "what is this television you're talking about?" but I don't know anything about 24, so Im rendered wholly incapable of playing along.

game is a party of 2, jack bauer here and a fan-fucking-tastic dread necromancer (that I will tell about immediately afterwards) and me and the DN are getting a little pissed off. he doesn't seem to be trying to do it on purpose, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

I give the two of them a "rescue the princess" fetch quest just to see how party unity's going. in order to get the favor of the man giving out the bounty after grossly alienating him as jack bauer, he borrows the DN's hat of disguise and turns himself into "jorzan: paladin of pelor" yes, that was the DN wrongly remembering jozan, cleric of pelor from the PHB, yes, it was awesome.

the second he shifted into jorzan... the player literally transformed. he began speaking in a different vernacular, fit in with people, gelled with NPCs, formed a bond with the dude giving out the bounty "us working stiffs" kinda thing. I didn't have to steer him at all. it was glorious

what's really the important thing is the voice. if you have ever heard stephen colbert do his character on his tv show with the speaking from the diaphragm and making the word "america" fifteen syllables long, you know what his general tone was like. picture nathan fillion as (well, any nathan fillion role, really) saying stuff like that and you'll know what he was like.

they rescue the princess, learn about the villainous baron that held her captive and the baron's employee, the monster wrangler (a cowboy cattle rustler type character) and his pet wyverns. party is lvl 4, so they sneak past the stable of sleeping wyverns with their ohshit faces on. the crawl to the princess is a pretty good horror encounter with a caged lovecraftian monstrosity guarding her.

they manage to smuggle her out in the most unexpected way. dread necromancer rolls a successful CL check against the globe of invulnerability the princess is in and hits her with "rigor mortis" making her appear to be dead. the monster wrangler's deathwatch goes apeshit and he lets her out. he tries reviving her but has no healing magic because he is a wizard. he teleports away presumably to get help. dread necromancer stuffs the princess in his bag of holding since she won't breathe while under the spell so can't suffocate.

they sneak out of the castle and dump out the princess. diplomacy from jorzan and everything's aces.

the game is called, xp is divvied, jorzan's player looks sad when he has to give the hat of disguise back to the DN. (DN uses his hat of disguise like a motherfucker)

DN suggests jorzan's player simply chance jack bauer into jorzan, paladin of pelor. his eyes light up and he asks me if he can. it being the first game, I of course say yes, because it's so much better this way

from then on, the paladin was jorzan. he and the DN have a total cable and deadpool buddy thing going on, and it's glorious. DN's explanation inbound...

As the filename suggests, I was playing Scion. A Scion of the Morrigan, actually. My character was a soldier in his mortal life, and after his visitation, he set out as a chivalrous warrior, acting as the disciplined environment he once worked in instructed. Thus, he was seen by the rest of the group as a stoic warrior-type character, who would fight for his friends and shit. However, the more he saw of the Titans, what they did, and what they were capable of, the more he began to turn to darker methods to fight them. By his apotheosis, he was the line 'you must make a friend of horror' personified.

>>14771145

Well I wasn't really in the campaign it self. Popped in temporarily because of events beyond my control I needed to leave town.

But the story goes the party had no medic, a role I don't mind playing. They were trying to bring wasteland justice ranger style. However they had a severe case of moral inflexibility to get the job done right. Refused to sell any of the drugs they frequently ran a-crossed giving them to me thinking I could do something with them. Well we run into this one shanty town overflown with starving sick children. Apparently being fliest by local gangs. So being the only care provide in this verifiable radio active peace corps I volunteer to stay back and to tend to the town while the rest take care of the ruffians. (If I voluntarily split the party you better know some shit is up.) Well it turns out unsupervised children, Guns and psychotic drugs lacing there daily ration make for an interesting combo. Especially when Nanny Doc.Chop-shop is teaching them life lessons like:

Live for now, seize the moment
Break away, from rules and confines
Leave the bounds, of moral constraints
Reap rewards, and take all you find

Ride on into the night
Fade to black and hide

Take your time, all is ripe
Choose your crime, steal them blind
Feel no guilt, ignore your conscience
Greed will rule, as food for your sustenance
Elevate, your standard of living
Waste it all. There's a more for the taking

So after creating an entire town of psychotic, nihilistic, drug addicted children. The party return, at which point I hit them with a hallucinogenic gas grenade and fly off into the skyline.

What can I say but "I must go, my planet needs me."

That was the last session before I left.

Quick backstory, our GM was running an Alpha test of a d20 system for a Super Robot Wars Campaign. We were all Earth Federation people, and I was a mechanic. Excelled in both computer use and Repair skills. I also had the only super robot in the party, a data-gathering model that I had rolled for and lucked out on.
Long story short, the team got split by dimensional fuckery, I acquired System XN (as a guinea pig), and I ended up stranded alone in a universe where giant robots were no bigger than eight feet or so tall, and my engine was burned out on entry. So I build myself a suit of armor, and equip it with several things of my own design (I took Craft Superweapon as a skill, and did some crazy things with it.). It's during this excursion I happen to take a dip in 200 year old LCL fluid (the orange stuff from Evangelion that's [spoiler]Made from people[/spoiler]) as well as having my system flooded with machine cells (the things that made the Devil Gundam, though mine were of the working variety).
Through more temporal shenanigans, I end up back with the new party (The Beta crew) and I announce my arrival by bowling for tanks in my absurdly large robot, who has the same power supply as a Battlecruiser. I kept getting left behind by the party as I couldn't make it to every session, so when the universe reset itself (things had gone to shit as one of the players had gotten themselves infected with End of Eva Angels, prompting the reset by another player who'd stumbled across an Elemental Herald of Time/Space) I managed to avoid it, keeping my levels and gear.
So now I'm in La Gias, the hub of the multiverse, and I'm attempting to fuse the equivalent of crystallized Getter rays into the power core of my robot.
Did I mention that while I was in the LCL tank I lost my sanity? Nat 1 on the roll. Fun times.

The party Assasin was thought to be a failure from the day it was made. Rolled with a Hacking Cough trait, and the same last name as my Techpriest (making us BROTHERS!), Novus Castus wasn't expected to live very long. His starting weapon was a shotgun, which was seldom used to his chagrin. He was a family man with a wife and daughter, and later became party Dad figure. He had his lungs replaced when we got to the first Mechanicum, with the party inquisitor getting the Tech Priests to troll him with a 'lack' of anesthesia. Novus quickly became an appropriate assasin after the player saw he wasn't going to die anytime soon, atleast until he got shot by a bolter turret and lost half his left side (to which he later took Hatred (Left Limbs)). My Tech Priest managed to make his replacement limbs himself, putting a powerblade in the arm, and a chainsword in his leg. Once we were all living on our ship, Novus made it clear he had a promise to his dad (Which we had jokingly set up as a guy who spent his life fucking anything that moved) and decided one child wasn't enough. After having another two twin daughters (which the party and GM decided were Tankreds prophesized "Twins they were") nothing really happened until the ship was lost, his wife with it sending him into a short depression, where he took the Inquisitors modified Spees Mahreen armor and proceeded to wreck the wreck of the ship. Post Ascension, after training as a Vanus Assasin (a modified vindicare class) with his dad, he picked up his fathers breeding habits, occasionally taking time on planets to father his own guardsman regiments. Now a High Class Gentleman strutting around with his pimp serpentine cane and a Psy bonded Falcon modled after the Maltese Falcon. Novus is pretty much Humphrey Bogart. Also, for our resteraunt fiasco, it was Novus who gathered the incriminating evidence and advertised the event as our competitors, causing them to go bankrupt and allow us to buy out their franchise.

>>14771608
This sounds like it might be fun to play, but a horribly embarrassing trainwreck to read about.

>>14771641
>Novus is pretty much Humphrey Bogart.
>Uses a picture of Rodney Dangerfield

Come again?

>>14771746
Oh, it gets better. If I fail combining the two power sources, I'll create a singularity. Great fun.
And we're supposed to be breaking it, we're the playtesters.

>>14771782
I'm not talking about the system. I'm talking about the setting.

>>14771782
Oh, right. Forgot to show you what I was piloting.

so… the dread necromancer. oh where to begin?

first of all, he is known ingame only as the former viscount of malbury. he was deposed after all the necromancy. his dad got mad at him and kicked him out for being an indulgent, deviant aristocrat.

as you know, the capstone for DN is free lich transformation, so the viscount is just biding his time until his father's wrinkled old ass keels over so he can return to malbury and rule forever. he took up necromancy as a hobby because he is a bored nobleman with nothing to do all day. this is his character reason for going adventuring. it's something to do.

he views everything with that peculiar late renaissance "ah, yes" attitude and it's hilarious.

since it's a humorous, lighthearted game, the viscount's player has taken to establishing numerous highly amusing character quirks for him.

for example, he carries a snuffbox around with him and snorts snuff with his left nostril. not strange in and of itself. he also carries around cocaine (which he pronounces with the most hilarious exaggerated fop voice ever, "c-cane") and snorts it in the right nostril. and never the twain shall meet.

Alright, I'm down.

Hunter: The Vigil

they had to investigate a murder involving a cursed genie lamp and the previous owner, after it had been stolen from her, crumbled into dust. the viscount covertly pocketed some of the dust to see what it would do to him later, presumably if he insufflated that as well.

since he's an aristocrat from the late renaissance period, he makes a lot of jokes about being an unabashed sexual deviant. he and jozan have a pretty sweet bromance going on and it's great for party morale. the viscount has also gone on a couple of adventures with aranea (with the player of massimo/fia DMing) and the two of them (buddy fops as the viscount's player calls them) had various adventures including vanquishing a young frat boy hill giant who had moved into aranea's home while he was out gallivanting with massimo and rescuing one of aranea's daughters from an evil millionaire playboy bent on marrying her.

roleplaywise, comedies of errors abound with these characters, and the viscount's ability to disguise himself has proven incredibly valuable. notable examples include:
-torgo from "manos: the hands of fate"
- jozan: paladin of pelor while the real jozan disguised himself as alfred pennyworth
- in a particularly strange episode, he disguised himself as himself so that a guard's antidisguise magic would be confused so jozan (disguised as the viscount) could slip in

thus the transition from the lich in libris mortis to archibald cunningham from the hilarious guilty pleasure "rob roy" to dr. niles crane

>>14771801
Well, the setting is getting a bit confusing, as it's following most of the Super Robot Wars story plotting. Current universe the party is in is at the point of the Original Gundam series (with Amuro), and I think Seed is going to happen there somewhere down the line. Of course, in this universe the party is all on Zeon's side, so they ended up capturing a Guntank, Guncannon, and the Gundam Alpha model. So guess who's going to be getting those mass produced gundaniam alloys and beam weapons?
Myself and the other character with time hax are actually the last two of the original party, and we are basically Team Timediver. So we're basically going to playing Time Cop against the Beta Party.

>>14771141
Your GM saw you as a Culexus Character? Fire your fucking GM.

>>14771780

Technically, all of these things were made before we hit Ascension, and the Humphrey Bogart thing happened after we started. Novus was a lot different before the ten year timeskip, so uh... millage may vary on a few of these, now that I think about it.

Our bad, man.

Evil campaign, lot of fun.

Dmtucker’s GM here

This was the party inquisitor who I intended to be a completely untrustworthy dick. Despite this the party somehow took an instant liking to him. This triggered my Sue alarm, and in an attempt to curb this before it rooted too deeply, I quickly introduced them to his several character flaws and outright mistreatment of player characters, to no avail. They continued to love him even after Lemans player searched his room demanding to know if he found any bras in his bed forcing me to roll to see if he had. ‘Above 95 sure‘, I figured only to roll 96...he then pressed to see if it was an Eldar bra seeing as the party had worked with the Eldar and even gotten them on their ship. ‘Sure, fine 95 and up again’ rolled 98...Well fuck. THEN Leman asked if it was the Farseers bra and again, and I again humored him with exasperation and rolled another 98. So now he’s a Xenophile, and the party STILL loved him. After a brief period of being ‘dead’, during which the party refused to accept it, he returned under another name and form and face, as their ‘new’ boss. This time he actually treated them with respect, and the party began to wonder why they liked the old inquisitor in the first place, and it was about there that I dropped to them that this was the same guy. Leading to them chasing me out of the room in rage as they had finally accepted that he had died.

Player note: We still love him though.

>>14772218
So they turned him into Eddie Valiant. Nothing wrong with that.
Except the setting.

Made: Hot-blooded CN Inquisitor of Gorum
Saw: Competent warrior with falchion
Played: CG protector of other party members. Can be angsty about their choices if she's afraid for them. Taking up the party leader's dream of a better world lead her to a few naive decisions of her own and now to question her deity.

Psyker Friend of DMTucker here.

Oh god you have no idea. We've had our fair share of GRIM DARKNESS for sure, but all of the really amazing shit happens in the silly bits inbetween. We haven't even got to Tuck's Tech Priest yet, and that's where a lot of silly bullshit came in.

Between Malefects, zombie hordes, Khorne berzerkers and those goddamn servitors, we've had plenty of 'oh-shit' moments.

>>14771929

To be fair, that's how I played in the start, so... can't complain. Y'know how it goes.

I need to stop playing with people who like anime.

Every.

Fucking.

Time.

>>14772325
I need to try this.

System was 3.5, and he became David Bowie long before he became a Lich, but there you go.

>>14772536
Only good one.

I was running a Feng Shui game set in 2050 in my own universe where Hong Kong was basically a really big Kowloon Walled City. The Players got into a fight with a few members of the Metal Scorpion gang. Each member of the gang has at least 1 cybernetic body part, the higher rank you are the more of your body is robotic. Well the highest ranking they fought was Gangster 5 as I called him in my spreadsheet I was using to track initiative. Anyways the players fought them and one player managed to break a robotic arm off another gangster and tried to throw it at Gangster 5 while he was attacking someone else. Gangster 5 caught the arm and threw it back and dealt an amazing amount of damage to the player. And it all snowballed from there where the PC's barely made it out alive against Gangster 5.

My favorite character. Mass murdering Sorcerer.

mutants and masterminds

was expecting that one to end badly.

so, the set up...

16 year old bard, primary perform style is oration for story telling, which is pretty important in her ethnicity, secondary but also maxed is dance, the second most important performance associated with her ethnicity. third would be confidence scams, which she also manages pretty well.

dm sets her up like a marionette, pretty complex one, though, with several handlers. Currently dancing for a goddess and a dirty old man with the charisma to lay whomever he pleases, just so happens my extremely charismatic bard is the flavor of the month and silly enough to do all the politically hard work so he isn't implicated in anything.

and, yes... she is a teenager, and i play her like one. Favored of a chaotic goddess at sixteen, she's highly emotional and despite her unflappable confidence in her abilities, has yet to identify her "self" and greater purpose. And it does not help that she recognizes she's getting played by every interest, which banishes the illusion of free will.

this is a no-sparkle zone

Finally, Regis.
There is way too much about Regis, and that’s not just me bragging or inflating my own ego. From mission one where he asked the butler at the mansion we needed to get into “Have you ever thought what the Omnisiah has done for you?” and then punching him out cold, to welding a blast door so perfectly that the metal look like it melded into the door frame (Nat 1 fuck yeah). Regis seemed like the perfect servant of the Omnisiah until the party boss convinced him to go Heretek. Not to mention he decorated himself with Scrimshawing to the point that it got him a bonus 12 to his fellowship. Post ascension he made the amazingly decorates invitations to the mass murder hall and, on a roll of 42 just to see what would happen when he feedback screeched into a microphone, with the GM describing it as ‘you speak the answer to the life the universe and everything and your vox unit screeches at the weight of this forbidden knowledge’. Fucking love how he has turned out.

He was an allied NPC, actually. Party liked him, with his absurd number of knives and cockney accent.

Hey, sup, Rogue? Friendly team medic here!

I like your DM's style

Homebrew campaign with a chaotic neutral (DM fiat) drunk master monk.

Specializing in improvised weapons.

Yeah.

>>14773142
Our GM has been pretty bro throughout the whole campaign. There are so many other stories to go along with each of our characters but it'd take hours to go over each one in detail.

>>14773282
do you have the first image by itself?

I played in a Dresden files game with THAT GUY running. When I wrote up my character concept, I had never played nor even heard of Dresden Files at the time so I decided to go with a Pure Mortal doctor. After two tours of duty in Afghanistan as a Combat and an honorable discharge, he had a brief stint at MIT in nuclear physics before enrolling in Medical School and becoming an ER surgeon.

THAT guy's response to my character was "Well, your character has no idea the supernatural exists, so here's whats going to happen. You character runs a little outside operation for gangsters where he works under the table to them up for lots of money. And one day I come in and need to be fixed up. Since my character is so great and awesome, my magical bullshit kicks in and herpa derp you believe in magic and help me brutally murder people because I think loose morality is edgy and cool."

MFW: lol wut?

We ended up replacing him with a competent GM who did not have mary-sue GMNPC. And let him play his broken "super edgy" character. The end result was my character sitting around in the background 10% of the investigation and the other 90% off at work with me just sitting there doing nothing. Then the big battle with the evil vampire minions. Being the only character that actually knows how to fight armed thugs with AK-47's I ended up doing most of the fighting at the same time I was attempting to keep THAT GUY from bleeding out since his character was entirely melee focused and attempted to charge them with his stupid magic sword. 20 guns beats gay ass ninja sword. Who knew?

That guy ended up with Lt. Dan, I made a god damn hero.

>>14770216
God damn, you are just the hugest fag I have ever come across on /tg/. And I have seen a lot of fucking fags.

First time D&D 3.5 with a good-aligned sorcerer in a party of neutrals.

>>14776285
That's why my half orc ninja pictured here
>>14776730
has a goddamned heavy crossbow. The first hobgoblin he ever encountered was killed in one shot, which prompted him to exclaim BOOM HEADSHOT. That pissed off the dwarf, but damn near anything pisses off the dwarf that's not ale or wench related, and there was only a half dozen goblins left to deal with.

Turns out the mageknight-bodyguard is one of the most knowledgeable people in the party.
And then he leapt one and a half stories vertically in full plate to bisect a mage.

I made - Eladrin rogue using a rapier and dagger, adventuring for precious stones and glory.

DM saw - treasurehuntin', lootin, enemy shootin' doctor jones

I played - Swashbuckler/duelist eladrin with a sharp tongue and a even sharper wit

>>14776395

lol yes, aranea is the most flagrant screaming queen you are likely to meet in a campaign

no hard feelings, it's not the first time I've been called a fag, on or off the internet.

keep on trollin, brother

Aaron Snow, fun-loving Toreador catburglar.
ST wanted to run a much more angsty campaign, but I had hard times taking it seriously.
He starts passive-aggressively fucking with my character, I murder the entire primogen council, blow up the Sears Tower, and retire to Europe with my stolen ghouls.

Done recently for a game of Werewolf.

The ultimate irony - I hadn't actually read Preacher when I first started making the character. So as I was reading it after the fact, there was this moment of "...oh God. Different creature type, but this is prettymuch what I've been playing otherwise."

This is also partially thanks to a personnel shortage in party causing the character to basically double-duty Ahroun and Ragabash.

Star Wars Saga Edition, first time playing. My brother made a techie zabrak so I became the construction droid N3M0 (aka Nemo) that he refitted into a bodyguard, though when he was reprogramming Nemo, a wire got crossed and now his morality matrix is somewhat scrambled. His weapon is a pipe-cutting chainsaw that uses a Vibro-axe's stats, and at 20str, that hurts. Since our campaign was meant to be more covert-ops-centric and I brought a combat beast to the party, our GM's always throwing him a tasty treat when we do have combat. Like a couple dozen stormtroopers, a giant bug-alien or even a bigger battle droid. Neither of us are annoyed at this arms escalation and we generally make it a lot of fun without me overtaking the main plot.

Rogue Trader campaign GM let me play an Eldar Harlequin. Of the Mime variety. I'd joined up with them when they showed up to trade with some Exodites and wound up offering my skills as a sneaky dancing elf ninja clown advertiser in exchange for their help finding some corsairs the Harlequins wanted to perform for.

The GM expected me to be a super awesome kung fu guy with mimish powers. Sneaky, silent, misdirection, assault their brains with hijinks, and punch their heads off.

He missed the part where Mimes play daemons in Harlequin performances. I was always behind them. And I was always terrifying.

>>14769805

Yep.

>network wont allow image uploads for some reason...

What I made: Fox Hengeyokai Beguiler
What the DM saw: Naruto
What I played: The Spy from Team Fortress wearing a Japanese Fox Mask and drinking a stiff drink.

Impersonate a kings daughter...loot the place...Slay the king and make it look like the Queen did it.

That was a good day. Our DM's still recovering...

My Kenku Bard (with some dabbling in Clericry) has no recollection of his past and his team mates seem not to mind. In fact, his willingness to help and bolster TEAM performance has elevated him to a sort of leadership position.

One that, as any cleric of a higher calling will tell you, places much responsibility upon you.

I was more than a little surprised.
