Player: Ardweden | System: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Okay, so
ifritah went and made a
character sheet of herself as she would appear in the Buffyverse. And, well... I decided to do it, too. Because I could. And hey, it might be a horribly geeky thing to do, but I share a roleplaying journal, so who's the geek *now*, huh? (Speaking of, need to renew the account for this.)
I'll put an explanation after for those not familiar with the system.
Attributes
Strength: 2
Dexterity: 1
Constitution: 2
Intelligence: 4
Perception: 2
Willpower: 3
Skills
Art: 4 (It's that or a 5 for writing and editing, but I've had writer's block for a long while. Maybe a 2 or 3 for viola and piano; I have about ten years for each instrument, but I was never great, and I'm out of practice.)
Computers: 3 (I'm the least tech-savvy person in my immediate family.)
Doctor: 1 (I know basic first aid!)
Drive: 1 (I can drive a car, too.)
Influence: 3 (I'm reasonably charismatic and good at reading people; however, my drawback so gets in the way. I sold super combos!)
Knowledge: 2 (I know random junk. Really, junk.)
Occult: 1 (There was a short stint where I read a lot of books about witches, but I forgot most of it and, eh, just don't know much here.)
Science: 1 (I went to high school! I took a few college Chemistry courses. Calculus eats me.)
Wild Card - Roleplaying: 3 (Not systems so much, but actual roleplaying? I can do that.)
Qualities
Artist - 2
Attractiveness +1 - 1
Fast Reaction Time - 2
Drawbacks
Honorable (Minimal) - 1
Mental Problems (Social Phobia - Severe) - 2
Resources (Hurting) - 4
----
For attributes, two is average. Dexterity's at a one because I fall off of sidewalks. Seriously. I have reasonably high pain tolerance and am rather healthy (when not dealing with the phobia), but I also have low blood pressure, so it balances out to a two in Constitution. I figure I'm in the top twenty percent as far as Intelligence goes, so a four's reasonable there. And I'm reasonably principled and can stick to it, so Willpower at three.
Skills:
1 - Rudimentary Skill
2-3 - General Competence
4-5 - Extreme Competence
6+ - True Mastery
Artist is a package deal; it gives bonuses to stats and the Art skill, but there's also an inherent drawback: lack of emotional control. Given I cry at the drop of a hat, and can go extremely giddy at the drop of that same hat, I figure the drawback also fits. (Though I like to think that, while I can't necessarily control my emotional displays, I'm still fairly reasonable.)
Fast Reaction Time is not freezing in fear in desperate situations. This is something I've had to handle, and I've done so without a problem. Though, yes, combining this with a Dexterity of one is kind of amusing.
Honorable (Minimal) is generally not lying to or betraying loved ones, people one respects, and so on. I don't lie in general. I believe in honesty (and I seem more set on it than most people are). Though once I'm roleplaying, we can ignore the whole honor thing, 'cause I'm not being me, though I *am* very trustworthy towards the GM.
Mental Problems (Social Phobia - Severe)... uh... messes with my daily life. That's all there is to say about that.
So! Does it work? Would I die miserably in the Buffyverse? Chances are yes.
