Killer Shrike Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 A new Here There Be Monsters character...dubbed "old lady Cthulhu face" by a certain player, a creepy possible addition to a party of Monster Hunters. Melissa is descended from one of the various Elder Thing tainted bloodlines. She physically appears normal from the outside (most of the time), but an autopsy would reveal that her physiology is inhuman and disturbing. Those with supernatural senses also recognize her as being of Elder Thing origins. From a practical perspective she is incredibly durable, not invulnerable but very difficult to injure, and her mind and body are resistant to external manipulation. When her true nature is revelead, one or more high-tensile strength tentacles can emerge from her body, primarily from her mouth. This effect is disturbing, and causes psychological damage to many who observe it. http://www.killershrike.com/HereThereBeMonsters/Characters/GMsVault/Killer Shrike/Melissa McBrien.HTML Durzan Malakim, Trencher and Khas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Shrike Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thanks! I had fun making her. The tricky part, as is often the case with more outlandish characters for HtbM, was finding some appropriate artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks cartoony, of course, but it can get the idea across. - E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ya, for HtbM I went with photographs to jive with the tone of gritty modernism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably find that many of the characters from Here There Be Monsters would work within an MHI campaign. https://www.herogames.com/forums/forum/89-topics/ http://www.killershrike.com/HereThereBeMonsters/Concept.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
