Rugraknot 02-15-04, 08:31 PM	Later today (its morning where i am) i am going to be starting in one of my players new BESM d20 campaign and I come up with a basic character consept but i need some help fleshing them out since most of the time my characters are usaly just differnt parts of my personality septerated from each other (Yui Maru the Chaotic Good Lazy Guy and Mizuko Yamiko the Small Sadistic Evil Girl). From what I found out from the GM (he is 32 and the biggest CCS fanboy I have ever met.) it is going to be set in a small town that we are all students that will have all sorts of mysterys we need to solve. I have work out most of my characters ablitys choosing Student as my class and am focusing on having a large group of Flunkys. The other players are playing as: Another student, Magical Girl and Pet Monster Trainer. Now her is the thing the DM whats this campaign to have female characters only and beings as how 2 of the other players are female (with one other male) that is not a problem for the *most*part. My problem is when ever i play a "little girl" (junoir high students) they tend to be a sick, twisted and murderous (my head docter says that my darker side is also my feminine side so i tent to asciate females with Blood and Murderousness) (is that a word)and i dont think he wants me playing a character like that in his camapign (at least from the start) but i cant seem to think of a back story for my character that is not at least a bit warped and to make it worse i dont want to play a female wrong and offend the female players. I have already made my character a lesbian agenst my own good judgement (to avoid sertain RPing situations) and i dont want to offent anyone with anything else like that. Can someone help me come up with a Back group and additude for this character: Level 1 Student Str: 12 Dex: 14 Con: 8 Int: 14 Wis: 8 Cha: 16 Key ablities: 4 2-point/Rank in Flunkies 4 1-point/Ranks Jump 1 8-point/Rank Own a big mech (Its a Robot Maid with a Heavy Pistol) They have the Flaw Girl Magnet I realy need help on this. Please..:(..someone?

Rugraknot 02-16-04, 05:24 PM	I have officaly played 2 sessions now with no back story and we are getting to a point were we need it. I have not had time to come up with one on my own since i have not been getting a good amout of sleep since my arrival here in japan and the school work is way harder. This is my last plea before having to play the character like a retard.

It looks like she's fairly smart and charismatic but a little short on common sense (low wis). How about playing her as the "popular girl." She's smart, she's pretty...but she's doesnt' always see what's going on around her. Maybe a litte self-absorbed but not too much. Has a "clique" of friends that she has around with...same type of people. Can you give me a little more information on the type of world your in? I can probably help more with a backstory if I knew a bit more...Modern setting? traditional fantasy? Urban fantasy? Horror? Hope that little bit helps. -Fireheart

Rugraknot 02-17-04, 02:26 PM	"For example, you could be the girl expecting to pass her exams by meeting the male teachers alone in their office" Good idea. I think i should also base my character design around the fact i have 9 flunkys to do things for me. I think i sould also be a -dan leader, but i dont know if thats realistic the characters are from 10-14 (mines 14) years old but oh well. These are there names and jobs: Girls Hara: Carry my things for me. Yohko: Play Toy Kimino: Personal Aid Haruko: Body Guard Mashashi: Does my Hair Guys Kojiro: Body guard "Fishy": Perform "extra"legal things for me. "Sly": Spies for me. "Smarty": Does my home work So who thinks I should be a "Sleeps with the teachers gang leader" type who acts thoupher than they are? It kinda goes with there wardrob. I will try hard not to make them sadistic maybe have them be a gulton for punishment (not intentionaly but the way they act gets them in trouble when not surronded my there flunkys) PS: I traded in the robot maid for the ablity to Cast level 0 and 1 spells from the Wu Jen spell list.

So she can be all cheery and nice, but underneath seething with anger. You can come up with little quirks that she uses to stop from slaughtering her fellow students. Maybe even a little ritual she does so she can deny that need to drink the blood of fallen foes.
