By the way, when you post your character, at the very top of the post type this:

<a name="NameOfCharacterWithNoSpacesOrPunctuation"></a>This will embed an anchor tag in the post and I can put a link directly to the character in the roster line up. Thanx!For example, because I put a tag at the beggining of Gauntlet's post like this:<a name="Gauntlet"></a>this link will go directly to him:Gauntlet

Hey KS, good idea! How about this one: Add the anchor tag automatically into the export template. Then no one has to remember.

Well, I did on my version; I didnt put it into the public one because it requires discipline/understanding to use it correctly.

 

Spaces and illeagal characters will barf the tag, and I dont have anyway of modifying the export features of HD to strip them out. If HD had a Replace or URLEncode handle I could take care of it in the Template......but AFAIK it doesnt....

 

So, basically, I decided it was safer to not include it to protect the end users from themselves

Really?? Unfortunately, I am not at my HD computer to test this, but couldn't you just include the anchor tag in the export template? Something like:

<a name="<CHARACTER_NAME>">

I'll have to give it a shot tonight, and see if I can make it make more sense.

Ya, thats how it goes, but if the Characters name is something like:

 

LAW & ORDER

BOB JONES

The SHADOW

"Bullet-tooth" Tony

 

etc, its a no go. The tag wont format correctly.

 

Ill embed all 4 and you can give em a go (they wont show on screen, but they are in text):

Coffin Nail JoeI'll post the picture when I have it. Here's the character.I intend to change one thing: The OAF needs to be worth less than it is, because he's able to do this with any group of nails or spikes that he picks up, not with a specific group he carries around.Also noticed an error with the PRE based stuff. It's supposed to be defensive, but I guess I forgot to check the "doesn't add" check box because it seems to have boosted his PRE based skills.

Quote:
Background: There are those who fall through the cracks of society, and then there are those who plunge through without being pushed. Joe Bellamy was a machinist laid off from his job who had difficulty finding a new one due to an anger management problem and showing up for interviews half in the bag. After a hard day of abusing his daughter he'd go out and get soused and complain to anyone who would listen. The problem is that after a while even your friends stop listening. Joe drank himself into a stupor on so many occasions that he eventually began to have memory issues. The problem is that if he'd ever really done something with the tremendous throwing talents he'd always had, he might have made a difference, instead he never identified them and became a nameless face on the steet corner begging for change and being ignored.   He subsequently has become the protege of a villain who saw him hurl a handful of nails at a passing car that nearly hit him. He punctured the tires and shattered te tail lights with no effort and with just one throw. He still has an alcohol problem, but no one seems to care as long as he shows up on 'game day' and does his job. He still has issues with being clean, and the others have taken it as a part of his personna.
Powers/Tactics:
Campaign Use: His daughter is the hero "Anthem", who has similar throwing skills, only using Shurikens.

Sweet, blue. Ill give him a thourough read thru when I get home from work, but he looks kewl

[Blue]

This isn't quite right. He doesn't look old enough (or grimey enough) for what I'm picturing. But it's getting there.

[RPMiller]

And the HDC file?

I like the character concept. He's a perfect nonchalant character to really bother PCs.

[Blue]

Like I mentioned, he needs that PRE thing tweaked, and likely the focus modified. But here's the file.

[Killer Shrike]

Added Coffin Nail Joe to the roster.

 

Enforcer, Wily Q & Odd Hat, if you could add the anchor tag at the start of your characters (I described how to do this a few posts back) and let me know youve done it, I can get thier names linked up to thier posts.

 

 

For those of you who havent posted, dont be shy folx! Enforcers Inc is an Equal Opportunity (for Mayhem) Employer! Submit those resume's now!

 

Unger interviewing potential new Contractor

-Unger: I see you've got experience with casual violence and public menacing.

 

-Applicant: I EXCEL at casual violence, and have mastered public menacing.

 

-Unger: Good, good. So where do you see yourself in 5 years if you stay with the company?

 

-Applicant: Well, my short terms are to stay out of Stronghold for the next 3 years, and then go back so I can finish my undergrad work and get my Masters.

 

-Unger: Ah, yes, continuing education is important; got to stay current afterall. What field of study, might I ask?

 

-Applicant: Nuclear Physics, with a minor in Marketting. I've got a world domination angle in mind and I really think a degree in those two fields will give me an edge when it comes time to hold the nations of the world for ransom. You've got to sell them on the idea that you'll really use the nukes, when its obviously not in your own best interests to do so. Thats where the Marketting comes in, you understand.

 

-Unger: Well, I see you've thought things thru. When you become established I hope you'll consider us for all your powered assistance needs. In the meantime, Id like to set you up with a contract we just got in. Looking at your resume, you are certainly qualified. How do you feel about doing a job for ARGENT? Also, do you have any capes riding you in Akron, Ohio? No? Good....just sign here, and Ill get you set up. We'll send you over for a screening interview with the clients this afternoon........

Tag Added and HDC

 

Added the tag to DIANABOL (though dropping the punctuation means also dropping the sad pun, such as it was). Made some small changes to backstory to make it easier to get her involved with Enforcers Inc. Here's the HDC file.

Personality: Daniel is strangely jaded. He's seen and done so much that he is basically blase verging on apathetic on most subjects. He basically has no real interest in anything, and just keeps busy as a way to alleviate his boredom. He likes being around party scenes, because all the chaos and activity help him forget for a while what he is and allow him to live in the moment.   Daniel isnt motivated so much as driven by the forces that are contained within him. He is driven to feed, and to survive, and thats about it.
Quote:(thought bubble) {What difference does it make; you'll all be dust in a few decades...}
Background: Daniel was born in 1586 AD in London and grew up in a time of huge religious turmoil in England. The Anglican Church had succeeded from the Roman Church in 1536 by direction of King Henry VIII. The Book of Common Prayers was printed in 1549 and revised in 1552, and the Anglican Church was assisted in its organization by Queen Elizabeth I in 1562 onward. 1564 saw the advent of the Puritans, who printed the Geneva Bible in 1575, were mocked by Shakespeare in 1590, and generally outlawed by 1593. Elizabeth I was succeeded by King James I in 1603, Roman fanatics tried to blow up parliament in 1605, 1607 saw the founding of Jamestown in America by Captain John Smith, 1609 saw the creation of the Baptist movement by former Anglican preacher John Smyth, and 1611 the first publication of the King James Bible. Thus, though almost 1000 years old by the time of Daniels birth, the Anglican Church specifically and England in general was in a high state of change then and for almost 70 years after.   Daniel was born to Anglican parents, his mother dying shortly after childbirth. His father was a simple craftsman and cared for the child as best he could, but after Daniel was 6 he gave him over to the Church to raise. Thus the turn of the century saw Daniel, at 14, nearing adulthood as an altar boy in the Anglican church. Separatists, Reformers, and Puritans abounded during this period; Priests argued and debated, and even occassionally warred in private upon one another. In 1611 Daniel was fully ordained as a priest in the Anglican church, and was assigned as an assistant to John Donne, an older and more experienced priest that was widely respected within the order. Daniel served under Donne's guidance for 11 years, and in 1622 went with him when Donne was made Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London after the previous Dean died of an accidental fall.   At St. Paul's, Daniel began to have nightmares. Lurid, graphic dreams and night haunts plagued his slumber and within weeks he had progressed from a calm, mostly content middle aged priest to a haggard shadow of himself. He found that if he dozed during the day he could escape the dreams, but his duties did not permit him the luxury of day time slumber. Thus, finding no surfeit from his dreams, he took to insomnia to avoid them. Wandering the grounds at night, he eventually explored deeper into the recesses of the premises and seemingly by accident discovered a secret passage in the lower levels that led him, twisting and turning, into a small vestibule. In truth, though he knew it not, he had been drawn there inexorably by the power of dark forces trapped in a small gold and silver medallion inscribed in ancient runes which rested in that room upon a consecrated altar surrounded by various articles of faith and the remains of past rites intended to suppress the unquenchable evil housed within the medallion.   Unknown to Daniel the previous Dean of the Cathedral had been the last successor of a long chain of holy men that had been responsible for warding against the evils contained in the amulet for several thousand years, and had died unexpectedly without having passed the task on to a successor. Thus, without the renewal of the wards upon it the evil forces contained within the medallion were able to exert thier influence again, and chose Daniel as their target, for in truth he sometimes chafed under the restrictions of a priestly life which was in many ways chosen for him rather than by his own free will. Almost in a trance Daniel reached forth past the waning wards to touch the medallion, and was forever altered thereafter. With his touch the evil energies leaped from the medallion they had been trapped within for millenia into Daniels body, corrupting him to his very soul and working irreversible changes upon him, and also releasing a backlash of invisible force that caused tremendous structural damage to the church. Daniel was beyond noticing this however, as he immediately felt tremendous pain from the consecrated grounds of the church, and without thought he reflexively _shifted_ away, emerging in a darkened alley in the outskirts of London where the changes infecting him continued to take effect.   Daniel was possessed by some dark spirit which infected his mind with thoughts of lust and strange dark urges. Those first few nights were a blur; Daniel never has been able to remember them clearly. But soon tales spread of some curse that was affecting the women of London; many a single female was found dead in her chambers in a shameful state, as if they died in the middle of coitus. There were never any signs of entry into the room however; locked door mysteries every one of them. After a few days, maybe a week of this, Daniel came to himself. He was regaining control of this faculties, but his personality was still imprinted with evil thoughts. At first Daniel despaired of his state and as he gained greater control tried to resist the urge to feed upon the life energies of women, but soon found himself emaciated and weakened; eventually he would grow so weak that the dark urges would supplant him again and he'd loose several more days to a grey fugue of debauchery. Daniel finally accepted that he had become some kind of Incubus; a creature of the night that feeds upon the souls of women, using sex to corrupt them first and then taking thier souls unawares. During the day he was much the same as before, though somewhat more durable and resilient, and lacking the ability to eat or sleep. But by night, dark energies swelled within him and he was faster, stronger, unstoppable. Able to step from shadow to shadow, fly upon wings of darkness, rend things with talons that sprouted with a thought, strike with crushing force, and of course utterly control women with but a thought, in fact be seemingly irresistible to them.   Daniel was confused, and didnt know what to do. During the day he wandered around London, and by night he preyed upon women for several weeks. Finally he realized that if he stayed much longer his predations would draw more attention than neighboorhood rumors, and regretfully he left his beloved London behind and set out into England at large. He quickly discovered that he had much more difficulty finding prey or blending in outside of a city, and so made his way to other urban areas and eventually leaving England alltogether for the more densely populated mainland around the same time King Charles I ascended the throne of England in 1625. He returned to England briefly on a whim in 1639, but left rapidly as Cromwell seized power and the Puritan regime settled in. He returned again in 1661 after Puritan rule has been repealed, but having traveled Europe extensively in the meantime, Daniel has gained a more cosmopolitan view and tired rapidly of what he now perceived as petty squabbles between people bickering over minor, inconsequential differences in the same basic religion. Having lived in his demonic state as long as he had lived as a mortal, his perspective had shifted considerably.   In 1684 Daniel traveled to America for the first time after his presense in England accidentily triggered a rash of witch trials and general fits of superstition and persecution of anything percieved to be supernatural. With his absence, the whole sad affair dwindled by 1685 with the last witch trial to ever be held in England. However, his predations in the colonies help to kindle superstitions there as well, touching off another string of witch trials and general superstitious flailing. Abandonning the colonies he returned again to Europe in 1701, and traveled extensively for over a century, leaving a trail of bodies initially, but eventually gaining better control over his abilities and the demonic impetus. During this time he gradually learned how to take only a little from each woman, leaving them weakned but still alive and using his power over thier minds to make them forget him. It was more work for him and meant he had to feed 2 or 3 times a night, but on the otherhand it allowed him to stay in one place much longer, and he could set up a rotation schedule with a small pool of women, leaving some fallow for a few days like a farmer managing his crops, only to return when they had regained thier strength.   He settled in Prague and Vienna in 1830, traveling between the two at whim. It was in Vienna that he first encountered the Society of Leopold, and they have appeared to harrass him on numerous occasions since then. Somehow his mental powers did not work on one of his victims (she was secretly a true lesbian and had no attraction to men at all; thus his powers failed to affect her), and she took shelter in the church after his visit. The Society investigated the matter unbeknownst to Daniel, and found a number of women who friends and relatives indicated were "unusually distracted and wan". The Society wasted no time and set a trap for Daniel, staking out one of his victims rooms for days. When Daniel next visted her chambers, oozing in like a shadow before taking form he was quite suprised to find her bed warded off by holy water, and to be set upon by a number of warrior-priests weidling consecrated swords and holy water. Daniel laid about him in the intial confusion, killing or injuring several of the priests, but quickly opted to flee rather than fight, fading into the night. Throughout the 2 centuries since then the Society has caught him out in similar fashion on several occasions. In moments of reflection Daniel finds it ironic and faintly amusing that his only real enemy is a part of the Roman Catholic Church.   World War I and the collapse of the Austria-Hungary region into chaos motivated Daniel to depart Europe again, and he eventually ended up in America in time for the roaring 20's. Daniel and the Roaring 20's was a good fit; many women he didnt even need to use his powers on to entice. He found he could actually have a social life of sorts, passing himself off as a rake, simply showing up to parties at night. He also became involved with bootlegging after a speakeasy he was frequenting was raided by cops; loathe to spoil the good thing he had going by using his powers to escape, Daniel instead knocked out 10 of the cops bareknuckled, ignoring thier billy clubs and punches thanks to his supernatural resilience. After the cops were all unconscious and everyone was clearing out post haste, the mobster running the joint came over and pushed Daniel out with the rest of the patrons, but several days later Daniel was approached at a roadside cafe as he sipped tea by 3 suited Italian types and offered a job working as muscle for them. He turned them down, but they insisted he visit "the boss". Deprived of most of his powers during the day he went along with them. He turned down the bosses offer as well, but seeing an opportunity to make some money with which to continue his charade he offered to instead become a bootlegger himself; he offered to act as a works-alone courier instead, brining booze across the border from Canada. The boss was skeptical, but after Daniel arrived with a shipment of booze the next night completely undetected, he was sold. Daniel made good money in this fashion, and used it to throw a few parties of his own. He bacame something of a notable among the party set, darkly mysterious and hit with the ladies. But the collapse of Prohibition, the declining economy, and the fact that everyone else was getting older while he stayed the same age as always led Daniel to depart. However, having had a taste of the high life and blending in he couldnt go back to his previous existance of existing outside of society like a wolf in the woods. He traveled next to Australia, along with some of the friends he had made in America, but found it too primitive for his tastes and he returned to America, this time the West Coast. He became involved in the film boom of the 30's, and renewed some of his ties with the mob in Las Vegas, which soon blossomed into an excellent haunt for Daniel. While World War 2 raged, he alternated between L.A., Las Vegas, Frisco, and Seattle. As a side benefit, all the women with husbands and beau's off to war made easy pickings for Daniel.   During this time Daniel became a kind of odd-jobs man for the mob. He didnt really need the money, or a job for that matter; but the truth of it was he's just bored and tired of his endless existance, and taking jobs for the mob gave him something interesting to do to while away eternity. He never revealed his true nature to them, but it was known that he could somehow get in and out of just about anywhere, no questions asked. It also became obvious that he didnt age, but nobody really cared about that so long as he got the job done. Life continued in a similar vein thru the 70's, aside from a couple of Society of Leopold visits, and Daniel was content in his existance. However, the Italian mafia started to change during the late 70's and early 80's, as it tried to deal with encroaching cartels and triads. Also, most of the fella's Daniel was in good with were ancient or dead by then. The swinging high times were coming to a close. Plus, powered individuals were much more common and technology was getting ever better at detecting theft and illeagal entry, causing Daniel to have competition in the mysterious theft department as well as greater probability of being detected.   Finally, a major ambush by the Society of Leopold in L.A. convinced Daniel to fade for awhile. He went back to Australia in 1987 for a stint and got involved with organized crime down under. The country had come a long way since his last visit, but he found himself missing the good times in America. Finally, he recently returned to America. Lacking any of his old contact in the mob, he struck out as a freelancer and recently accepted a contract via Enforcers Incorporated.
Powers/Tactics: Daniel has a wide array of abilities revolving around his demonic state and an affinity with shadows and the night. Most of Daniels powers are in fact only usable at night. Daniel also has tremendous abilities to manipulate the hearts and minds of the opposite sex. The origin of his powers is unknown to him but are in fact almost inconceivably ancient. Daniel is an immortal and never sleeps, cant eat solid food, and has a presense that upsets pets, particularly domesticated dogs.   Despite his suite of abilities, Daniel is not very offensively equipped, and is almost normal by day.
Campaign Use: Mysterious supernatural quasi-villain. Makes a great adversary for strongwilled female PCs. Excellent infiltrator, with Teleport and Desolid to get in and out of places.

Hopefully we'll be seeing more entries from you soon. Im working on 1 now as I type this

 

I have a few thugs that might fit. If I get time tonight I'll be glad to re-work one and send it in.

 

I liked your Incubus caracter. I was thinking of submitting my version of Casca the Eternal Mercenary, but one immortal thug in a group is probably enough.

Thanx, although I seem to be having trouble maintaining tense today

 

Oh well....he turned out ok regardless.

 

I sat down to make a completely different character, but this is what turned up

 

Little bit of the Confessor in there, along with general Vampire the Masquerade and the Highlander Immortal schtick too, but he still seems distinct enough....all around Im happy with it

Height: 5' 7"	Hair: Grey
Weight: 136 lbs	Eyes: Grey
Appearance: Small, thin man of indeterminate age. Often disguised. Street clothes.
Personality: Milos was a petty criminal with a grudge against the world when he "died," and a monster when he came back. He's matured over the last half century, and now takes a calm, methodical approach to murder. He continues to kill because it's what he knows, and he's very, very good at it.
Quote:"May I speak to you sir?" "You think I haven't seen that trick before boy?"
Background: Murder should never be easy, but it was. When his father took him on a raid of the townies home, Milos was happy, happy and proud to get what his people needed from the outsiders. Then the townie shot him, shot his father as his father turned to flee. His father died. So did Milos. Three days later he came back, locked in a drawer, helpless, trapped. A townie heard his screams. That townie died. Now, nearly sixty years later, Milos still looks much the same as he did the day he came back. At first he killed the outsiders for vengence, and was killed more than once himself, both by outsider police and outsider "heroes." After his power became clear to his clan, they asked him, begged him to leave. Stealing was one thing, but cold murder day after day was more than they could stand. Milos wandered far, and slowly lost much of his hatred and contempt for the outsiders. He never stopped killing them. For the last forty years he's been a mercenary and a contract killer. He's been everywhere, done everything. He sees Enforcers Inc. as another source of contracts, and likes the professionalism displayed by the core members.
Powers/Tactics: Milos has been killing people since World War Two, and he's good at it. He'll avoid open confrontation where he can, prefering to use stealth, shadowing, and disguise to follow the target, quietly walk up to them, attract their attention, and look into their eyes.   Once a victim is looking in his eyes, Milos will hit them with his continuous Evil Eye (multiple power attack) phase after phase, keeping them paralyzed until they're unconcious or dead. If contracted for a kidnapping, or ordered not to kill, Milos will simply paralyze his victim.   Milos has a strong commitment to the mercenaries code, always putting the mission above all else and never breaking a contract. He's more than willing to take younger Mercs and teach them what he knows. He also has a soft spot for gypsies and "outsiders," and has been known to give them "help," often by killing those he sees as their tormentors.
Campaign Use: NPC killer and scary opponent for the low-ego PCs.

By the way, am I correct in pronouncing "Milos" as "ME-low-sh"?

Yup, that's as it's intended. "Milosh" is a valid aternate spelling.

 

"Milos" came from a web site on Romany names, and "Fearon" is the family name of a gypsy boy killed while housebreaking in the UK a few months ago.
