Nov 15, 2008 Mar 11, 2009 11:40 AM NPC Islands of War Michel Brent 35 March 16 Blue Black, Wavy, Long Pale Right 66 155.0 0 Male Human 4 Michel Brent is a thug. He may be an expert with both knifes and shortswords, but he's still just a thug. This aside, he's also an excellent leader that other mercenaries look to when decisions need to be made. He's a Weirdness Magnet, which has led to his group being composed of rather strange folks, including "The Mime." His story is short and simple. He had a family. One day he decided to abandon them and take up a life of crime, because he was really terrible at being a farmer. He never looked back, but did take up drinking to drown out his conscience. When he is struck down in battle, he won't die. He'll instead start following those who defeated him, begging them to tell his family he's sorry. The moment they promise him, he'll appear to pass out and die. However, he won't actually die until they do as promised. If they don't, he'll show up again, probably at some inopportune moment. He'll keep showing up until they do as they promised. He has a long criminal record and is wanted on just about every island for something or other. He's well known to the Law Keepers as a murderer, who have a strong desire to bring him to justice for his crimes. He has in fact killed several Law Keepers, including one Special Agent sent to bring him in. Most of the Law Keepers would consider it justice if he happened to die from an "unfortunate accident" on the way back for punishment. 0 0 250 13 14 12 11 0 0 0 0 true true true Advantages Combat Reflexes Mental 15 B43 Never freeze; +6 on all IQ rolls to wake up or to recover from surprise or mental stun; Your side gets +1 to initiative rolls (+2 if you're the leader) Advantage fast-draw 1 dodge 1 parry 1 block 1 fright_check 2 High Pain Threshold Physical 10 B59 Never suffer shock penalties when injured; +3 on all HT rolls to avoid knockdown and stunning; +3 to resist torture Advantage Supernatural Durability Physical, Supernatural 150 Only to get whoever "kills" him to promise to tell his family he's sorry he abandoned them -80 total B89 Advantage Weapon Master Mental 25 B99 Two weapons: Shortsword and Knife Advantage Shortsword 1 1 Shortsword 2 1 Knife 1 1 Knife 2 1 Disadvantages Alcoholism Physical -15 B122 He drinks to forget that he abandoned his family Disadvantage Bloodlust Mental -10 9 B125 Disadvantage Bully Mental -10 12 B125 Disadvantage Code of Honor (Professional) Mental -5 B127 Disadvantage Duty (Serve Employer) Social FR: 6 -2 total FR: 9 -5 total FR: 12 -10 total FR: 15 -15 total Extremely Hazardous -5 total Involuntary -5 total Nonhazardous 5 total B133 Disadvantage Enemy (Law Keepers) Social Weak Individual -5 total B135 50% of your starting points Equal Individual -10 total B135 100% of your starting points Powerful Individual -20 total B135 >150% of your starting points Weak Group -10 total B135 Medium Group -20 total B135 Appears almost all the time 3 B36 15- Appears quite often 2 B36 12- Appears fairly often 1 B36 9- Appears quite rarely 0.5 B36 6- Large/Powerful Group -30 total B135 Utterly Formidible Group -40 total B135 Unknown -5 total B135 Evil Twin 0 total B135 Evil Twin -5 total B135 More skilled or extra abilities Evil Twin -10 total B135 More skilled and extra abilities Watcher 0.25 B135 Rival 0.5 B135 Hunter 1 B135 B135 Disadvantage Reputation (Thug) Social 3 -5 People Affected 1 B27 Almost everyone People Affected 0.67 B27 Almost everyone except @large class of people@ People Affected 0.5 B27 @Large class of people@ People Affected 0.33 B27 @Small class of people@ Recognized all the time 1 B28 Recognized sometimes 0.5 B28 10- Recognized occasionally 0.33 B28 7- Recognized occasionally 0.33 B28 7- B26 Disadvantage Social Stigma (Criminal Record) Social -5 B155 -1 Reaction, -2 for cops & judges Disadvantage Weirdness Magnet Mental, Supernatural -15 Origins Magnet 0 total Sup32 B161 Disadvantage Perks Grip Mastery (Shortsword) Mental 1 MA50 Let you change grip as a free action Perk Off-Hand Weapon Training (Knife) Mental 1 MA50 Replaces equal-named technique on p.
