Young Players Campaign Characters

pruttm · September 24, 2009

I am running a campaign with mostly young players (not necessarily all young characters, though). My youngest daughter (age 7) is joining on Saturday. She came up with a martial artist that throws trick gumballs while wearing a fuzzy bunny suit. She continued to rattle off a large list of trick gumball powers and then explained how she wanted to "Kick Butt" with her martial arts.

Here is what we came up with:

Gumbunny

Total Disadvantage Points: 398

Background/History: Monica was ten years old when, on a family vacation, was in a plane crash. The small prop plan was piloted by her father. He died along with her mother. The other survivor was Monica's uncle Jack Embry. The pair were rescued, but Jack was paralyzed from the waist down. However, he insisted he could still care for Monica and after much red tape was awarded custody. Jack worked in his Chemistry lab at home and continued his work. Due to his long hours, he gladly paid for classes in Martial Arts. He was happy to see she might be able to protect her when he no longer could. Monica became very close to 'Unca Jack' and she became to show interest in his work. Without his consent, she began to take his work and fashion it into weaponry and together with her amazing Martial Arts prowess, she created the adventuring persona of Gumbunny.

Personality/Motivation: Monica is a stubborn thirteen year-old teenager that things she always knows best. She loves her Uncle, but believes she is ready for the adventures of life. Her survival at the plane crash is just one example of her incredible luck. No matter how dire the situation becomes, she seems to come out unscathed.

Quote: "Gee, ain't I a stinker?"

Powers/Tactics: While Gumbunny's gum balls are extremely versatile and powerful, she loves to mix it up in hand-to-hand combat. She feels she can do no wrong, so an take a solid hit to wake her up and use more conservative tactics.

Campaign Use: Gumbunny is a funloving and thrill seeking character. She shouldn't drag down a campaign. She should propel it forward with abandon.

Appearance: Gumbunny wears a fuzzy pink bunny suit with a cross-body shoulder bag. One ear droops and she is generally blowing a large pink bubble.
