Hermit Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Honorable Lives by a Code Code of Honor etc... psych lims related to that can be simple on the disad section, but when it comes time to detail them, it can be tricky. What better sources than heroes of fiction and legend already established? So if you have some favorites from comics, TV and the like, post them here I first offer The Lone Ranger Creed "I believe..... That to have a friend, a man must be one. That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world. That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself. In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right. That a man should make the most of what equipment he has. That 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always. That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number. That sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken. That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever. In my Creator, my country, my fellow man." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Baron Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Re: Your favorite Hero Codes of Honor Hit them hard and when they don't expect it. Then kick 'em when they are down and take their lunch-money. (Schoolyard-Bully's Code of Honor) Not sure if you get any point for that ... but it is a Psy. Limit.: Must take smaller children's lunch-money after roughening them up (vcom/ strong) = 20! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roter Baron Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Re: Your favorite Hero Codes of Honor But now for real: What about the Green Lantern's Oath? “ In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power...Green Lantern's light! ” It sounds sooooo good and can even be included in the game before getting into action/ hero I.D. Wether or not it is a code is debatable: It's is maybe just a "must fight evil everywhere it shows its ugly face" psy limit. But I DO like it!

The others can do whatever the hell they please." John Wayne in The Alamo: "There's right and there's wrong. You gotta do one or the other. You do the one, and you're living. You do the other, and you may be walking around, but you're as dead as a beaver hat."

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Re: Your favorite Hero Codes of Honor To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell For a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
