GhostDancer Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I want to put together a War on Christmas convention game. Scott Bennie graciously consented to let me use Thundrax for Canada Day. Show us your holiday character write-ups, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Remember that old Christmas song about "Deck the halls with bowels of Holly"? I told my wife earlier today that Holly has some pretty versatile bowels...but I'm not quite sure how to write up their special effects in game terms....

csyphrett Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 i would love to help you but I don't have any sheets. We have done holiday heroes for the Create a Hero thread. You might be able to search that. I know I had the Saint for all saints day CES GhostDancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Everytime I read "war on christmas" I have to think of this comic: http://survivingtheworld.net/Lesson2283.html So maybe you could expand the villain team around Thanksviging and Halloween themed villains? Or the hero team perhaps? Durzan Malakim, Lawnmower Boy and GhostDancer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 With a challenge to come up with a holiday character am I looking to be part of the defence or offence? I quite like the idea of a character seeking to defend the Christmas Spirit, an entity that has existed from the beginning of time and whose nature varies dependent on the society of the time. The Spirit is one that sustains the morale of people through the depredations of winter, lifting their spirits and giving them hope that spring, with its renewed growth and associated warmth and food, will arrive and that it is worth planning for it. Embedding the ant mindset for general practise but providing crickets with a feast to keep them going. The defenders of the Spirit will have had many forms over the millennia. My defender of choice would be Yule. This hero holds the light of the world, bringing light to darkness and ensuring that light is passed on between the years. Yule would be an energy blaster but focussed more on defensive and investigatory powers than dealing damage. I would probably build him very much as a detective type with the ability to see through illusions and to the truth of things. I like the idea of Yule being able to move instantly to defend a Christmas community and so would give him the ability to appear wherever a yule log burns - I reckon a properly limited megascale teleport would work for that - though I would want a decent definition of what a yule log actually was.

GhostDancer Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 My first thought was Yuletide had invaded, Christmas in July! Is it too late for our Holidays to defend themselves?

GhostDancer Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Iceland awaits the Yule Lads If you’re spending the holidays here in Reykjavik, be sure to keep an eye out for Sausage-Swiper, Window-Peeper, and Door-Slammer. They’re three of the Yule Lads, a group of 13 mischievous pranksters who—according to local folklore—visit homes one by one to leave rewards or punishments for children on each of the 13 days leading up to Christmas. Tonight, the Gully Gawk is scheduled for a visitation, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the cowshed and steal milk. Modern versions of the lads sometimes portray them in a benevolent light, even dressed like Santa Claus, but other stories are dark. The lads are said to be the sons of Gryla, a mountain troll with an appetite for mischievous children. Let’s hope we’re on the nice list this year.

Hermit Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 This is old by now, but if someone wants to incorporate Foxbat into a War on Christmas adventure.... (With apologies to Frozen) Foxbat will hack into networks, and show his musical challenge! "The Snow glows white on the city tonight not a hero, to be seen Gone is my trepidation because it looks like I get away clean!" "The wind is howling and I should stay inside but can't stop scheming, heaven knows I've tried." "I want to win, I want them to see that I'm no villain of mediocrity Steal a mil but they must know Yes they'll know!" "It's my show, it's my show Can't hide my genius anymore It's a show, it's a show That's what I'm stealing for!" "I don't care about the pay let's have some fun! My Master Plan is making the news today!" "Its sad how the cold sends all the folks away To get to their warm houses while they can but I'll never let the weather thwart my Master Plan!" "It's time to show the world exactly what I can do Foxbat has no limits, heck I even flew No right, no wrong, no rules for me... I'll be.... on News 3!!!!" "It's my show, it's my show! I'm the one with the dreams so high! It's my show, it's my show! You heroes will never see me cry!" "Here I scheme, come let's play Forget the storm! Winter scenes are more climatic anyway!"

And later on they really loved writing, giving us hte bulk of written acounts of their myths. 5 hours ago, GhostDancer said: Krampus This guy is from European folklore, particulary the Alpine Region. As such he crosses European cultures to a large degree, but only in the mountains. In Germany at large we have a similar figure with Knecht Ruprecht.

Christopher Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I like to watch the Youtube Channel Extra Credits. They have now branched out into Extra History. And recently, extra Mythology. And guess who just happens to have gotten a episode of EM today? As well as all his variantions.

I doubt it is charging. But it can be hard to tell since it is so far out of Focus. Pretty sure it is being guided by the mouthpiece and behind it is a wall, giving it very little room to charge.
