[Character Review] Sam Freeman

[JmOz]

Character for my upcoming Flash Gordon inspired game

 

I am still working on the disads, he needs 20 points more, hunteds are not allowed

 

Backstory is that he was a Mechanic in the USMC who opened his own Garage after the First Gulf War.

 

We handle everyman skills oddly, basicaly I gave a list of recomended, and extra points, instead of these are free

 

The strait forward disad, basicaly it represents that his perfered strtagies with everything is very to the point (Forward attacks, does not do the diplomacy thing very well, etc...)

About Sam's tatoo: is it the USMC's Anchor and Globe, or is it some-

thing a little bit more risque?

If Hunteds are not allowed, why can you buy "Watched"? Isn't it really the same thing?

"Semper Fi" would be the correct form.

Sorry should have posted, that has changed to allowing 10 points in hunted, 35 in any other disad

not quite, but I am having a hard time explaining it, I am familiar with the term from the book Outsiders (the novel not the comic)

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greaser_%28subculture%29 is a quick explanation

[Manic Typist]

Re: [Character Review] Sam Freeman

 

Oh of course! I thoroughly enjoyed that book.

Re: [Character Review] Sam Freeman

 

If you want a good greaser feel, possibly a "Brawler" Martial Arts package (no Dodge, but Strikes and the like).

 

Other than that I've no other suggestions, he looks pretty cool as is.

Re: [Character Review] Sam Freeman

 

i struggled with that my self, but decided against as the player is learning the system, once he gets the basics down I will suggest it to him however
