Dr. MID-Nite Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Anyone ever try to make Uma Thurman's character from Kill Bill up in Hero? My take is the following: Martial arts(obviously) Levels up the wazoo(enough to nail hit locations on every sword swipe on average opponents) Great Acrobatics roll...along with Breakfall, Climbing, Weapon Familiarity, and Two Weapon Fighting. Defense Talent(Maximum level) Stats.....not sure....but I'd go with good DEX, SPD, and BODY. Rest is open to writer interpretation. Anyone care to add to this list?

She can also do a killing strike where the victim falls dead after five steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Photon Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Kill Bill BODY. Lots of BODY. Don't forget, she took a bullet to the head and suvived after she was beaten to a pulp while pregnant and she didn't lose the baby....

Susano Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Kill Bill I'm waiting for the KILL BILL double DVD set to come out myself (I hear it's due out this year), before I do any adaptations. On the other hand, I have been working on a character titled "The Blue-Eyed Killer," who is based on a picture I found of Julie Manase (she was one of the Crazy 88s). The image of a kanata wielding woman in a men's black business suit is turning into quite an interesting DARK CHAMPIONS character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengu King Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Kill Bill Don't forget Hanzo Hatori steel. Damn straight...2-3d6 HKA, OAF, Penetrating. An earlier version could have Hunted: DiVAS, plus related contacts. Possible Hunted of Crazy 88, if you think any of the few survivors would be psychotic enough to go after her. Of course, she's be Hunted by a certain little girl, as we'll be seeing in nine years or so... Disads for signature style(Pai Mei)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Kill Bill Also reputation both as a perk and as a disadvantage. The disad version would be on a 8- roll and would be something like dangerous assasin and would most definetly be extreme. The Perk version would be on the same roll and would be: Black Mamba, Most Dangerous Woman Walking, Bar None. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else find that school-girl bodyguard just highly ANOYING? "Oh, I'm just an helpless, innocent little girl who's going to cut your heart out and drink your blood. Hee hee hee..." I don't know if it was bad acting or just bad writing, but I found the character anoying. "Luckily for her, he was also a pedophile..." You have no idea how close that line came to becoming a sig.

Afterall, she used her sword almost entirely on unarmored opponents. My take was she's just incredibly skilled with the sword. In game terms, possibly using levels to improve the BODY damage...and...of course striking hit locations enough to make most players envious forever. Was there any point in either movie where she used her sword on something solid enough to justify Penetrating? I remember her hitting a baseball, but that hardly requires Penetrating.

Well, I think it was a twisted take on the old anime "school girl" heroine. In short, I thought she was written to be annoying....because most of the heroic sterotypes on which Go-Go was based are also similiarly annoying.

She does like several months worth of physical therapy in the back of pick up truck in a coupe of hours? Good point. Though in fairness, I think it was something like 13 hours. But...what I'm hearing so far is high DEX, CON, and BODY, and probably reasonable SPD too. Granted, given the opposition, a high DEX might be something like 20-25. CON? No clue.

Captain Photon Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Re: Kill Bill Hmm, maybe her Rapid Physical Therapy is an ability that Pei Mei taught her? Sorta mind over matter?

Trebuchet Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Re: Kill Bill Naw, her "healing" is just Hollywood in action: "Rehab? We don' need no steenkin' rehab!" It's a genre convention that over the top protagonists have over the top abilities. (I won't go so far as to actually call the lead character a "heroine" in any meaningful sense of the word. She's an assassin.) Or does anyone think the world really switched over to black and white during the fight in the restaurant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
