Roleplay in SPACE! Space! TWO! Two!

[Zaleramancer]

A human with 14 DX and 14 HT, with increased Basic Move would move at..

10 yards per second.

Which is about 20 mph.

[Zaleramancer]

Faster, Wulf?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

If it's 20mph at peak human speed, then I want my character speed at 40mph.

[Zaleramancer]

Rodger, Rodger.


Strength, Speed and Prettiness

[291]
ST:20 [100]; DX:15 [100]; HT:15 [50]; IQ:10 [00]

Basic Move: 12 [25]; Very Handsome [16]

Can lift 640 lbs with both hands in about four seconds, run at 24~ mph or sprint at 29~ mph. Could be a professional model, girls flock to him but other guys tend to resent his looks.

I would recommended Healthy or Very Healthy, or something similar.


Strength, Speed and Agility is basically the same thing, just with more DX and less Basic Move.

Senses is complicated. There's Acute Senses, Discriminating Senses, Dozens of kinds of hearings..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'm thinking Strength, Speed and Agility. I can get sexy on my own with exercise and such.

[Zaleramancer]

Hahahaha-no.

Allow me to reiterate. What you see is what you get.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 WHAAAAA???

[Zaleramancer]

Look, you have to spend points to get advantageous things.

Getting said things without points is cheating.

Sure, you can learn skills or gain advantages, but you still almost always have to spend points somewhere along that line.

Super-Attributes are one of the worst categories to ask for, but everyone does.

Dunno why. Flat out multi-man abilities are cheaper than super-strength, unless you're going for a certain kind.

Such as just Lifting, Striking, or simply in one/both arms.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Mother of--!

Well, in that case, can I just get Shapeshifting, with minor bodily enhancement due to control over my body structure? Like, other than shapeshifting, only enhancing one stat (strength, speed, etc) at a time?

[Zaleramancer]

Shapeshifting is.. possible. A bit of a .. hehe.. stretch, considering that it'd be hard to do in real-life..

I'd have to make individual forms for each of the things you turn into.

Every. Damn. One.

Not to mention it'd take several other discrete abilities stapled together to give the effect of minor internal shapeshifting.

Wulf, Y U PICK THINGS SO HARD TO MAKE?! xD

I think it's because you think in terms of superpowers.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Yes. Yes, I do.

And I suppose Quantakinesis is out of the question, since that would mean defining size-shifting parameters and other stats like that.

Dang it, I really want something versatile; not too powerful, but not only good for one thing.

Have anything like that?

[Zaleramancer]

Did you know there's rules for actually alien aliens.

Like, say, Silicon based lifeforms.

Even a few that could happily wade in magma.

I'm not sure.

It may be easier just to make an alien, or do a chimera. Pick an animal, ask for powers like what it would have, get 'em.

Or something.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I had no clue what rules they had at all. Not a GURPS aficionado. :P

So, maybe for a chimera, I could take on leonine qualities?

[Zaleramancer]

GURPS is rather through.

Just give me a good amount of information on "Leonine" Qualities.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

*orz*

Hair longer than usual. Mane-like, but not excessive like Tina Turner. Golden eyes, vaguely feline.

Nails somewhat longer than normal (NOT over the top); think...maybe Marvel's Sabertooth.

Lean, athletic frame.

Maybe strength, speed, etc, right at a lion's same rank, or those combined with the capacities of a human.

[Zaleramancer]

Leonine Traits [191]

ST: 16 [60]; DX: 13 [60]; IQ: 10 [00]; HT: 12 [20]
Will: 11 [5]; Per: 12 [10]; Speed 6 [00]; Dodge 9 [00];
Move: 10 [20]

Night Vision 5 [5]; Short Claws [5]; Sharp Teeth [1];
Temperature Tolerance 1 [1]; Very Handsome/Beautiful [16]

Golden eyes [0]; Long mane-like hair [0]

Laziness [-10]; Proud [-1]; Congenial [-1]


Questions?

Any other flaws that you can think of?

[Zaleramancer]

For some reason, I'm imagining this guy dressed in an expensive suit in a fancy party, wine glass in hand, with a pack of short-haired and beautiful women crowding around him.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hm, maybe a voracious appetite, and a strange feline perspective on women (refusing to harm them, yet also terrified of monogamous relationship and being mildly sexist).

Oh, and what does all this gobbledygook mean?

ST: 16 [60]; DX: 13 [60]; IQ: 10 [00]; HT: 12 [20]
Will: 11 [5]; Per: 12 [10]; Speed 6 [00]; Dodge 9 [00];
Move: 10 [20]

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 You do not imagine wrongly. I actually had a similar idea in mind.

[Zaleramancer]

Both of those are possible. I think I'll add a few other things as well.

Strength is sixteen, six above the human norm. Can lift 51 lbs with one hand in one second, or 409 with both in four seconds.

Dexterity is 13, three above the human norm. Basic speed is reflexes and general quickness, Move is 10 yards per second, dodge slightly better than a normal human.

Intelligence is 10, average for a human. Perception is 12 and above normal, as is will power, at 11.
