Opale Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi folks ! Few months after Lucius, the Palindromedary, Tasha and much people helped me build the "Brick House" character (and thnaks again for that !), I would like to dig one of her abilities : The Bimbo styled martial art : I know there were already some proposals, but could you please help me to build a comical thematic style about it ?

Doc Samson Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art This isn't exactly what you are looking for because I'm not sure how I would represent a "bimbo" martial arts, but I love the concept so here is how I might have imagined her funky-disco fighting style. The names are lyrics from the song. The number of points is near the minimum so there is room for growth. I hope this helps a bit. "Ain't holding nothing back" Offensive Strike (a tough chick style haymaker) "What a winning hand!" Martial Throw (that terrible girl flip that you see in 70s sitcoms) "Knock a man to his knees" Nerve Strike (a low blow) PS (DEX): Dancing KS: Disco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston GM Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art It needs a move for clawing at the opponent's eyes with long fingernails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opale Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art hehehe, it's more some gymnastic martial art. But bood point to the fingernails rip; how would you build it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsatow Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art Martial Flash for Clawing the eyes out. Basic Strike or Defensive Strike maneuver as a slap. Crush as the big bear hug Martial Grab as the "I've got my honey and I ain't ever letting him go". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art Martial Flash for Clawing the eyes out. Basic Strike or Defensive Strike maneuver as a slap. Crush as the big bear hug Martial Grab as the "I've got my honey and I ain't ever letting him go". I was thinking Martial Grab for pulling hair, but same difference really.

Blue Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art Breaking "bimbo" down to it's primary elements, that's pretty much "fashion", with a sub-focus on "makeup", "dancing", "seduction" and "money". A few of these don't seem to build into a martial art. "Cute little Handbag" could be a weapon element, in which case it becomes a martial art of strikes, grabs, and disarms. Said handbag should be WAY heavier than it looks (due to all the crap stuffed in there). "Shake what god gave ya" could be a close-quarter dance move. "Look but don't touch" could be a bonus against grabs or on escaping from grabs. "The Bump" could be a hip-bump with a knockback increase, to send the target out of the picture or into something hazardous, like a wall or other villain. "Your Mascara is running" could be an eye gouge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Onassiss Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art I'd suggest any power with 'fingernails' as a special effect should have a burnout roll: "Oh d**n, I broke a nail!" is a classic bimbo line.

dsatow Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art Don't forget the special martial powers "The big chest heaving sigh" designed as either sight flash or mind control only usable against men. You just can't look away. "helpless damsel power" she drops or breaks something and you need to help her, usable only against men. "the kiss which enamors the hero in dream land" an entangle (possibly mental) which prevents you from doing anything other than thinking about that kiss. She probably should have the following disads Fear of mice/rodents Negative reputation only vs. Women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opale Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Bimbo style Martial Art Thank you everyone ! A good bunch of original ideas, which will be helpful ! knowing my players won't read it, I tend to make them have a short scenario in a crossover with the Superbabes RPG universe *winks* Probably even Switching the World, turning men into women and the reversal hehe Would be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
