Character no. 2 - Tregor

[dumdeedum]

My second character, an old friend of Maggit's, both were employed at the same time, though I don't know how or who by yet. This guy is quite a cold and emotionless person besides his friendship with Maggit. He also likes to try and prepare for every situation, and so is slightly over equipped. I am using the revised armoury for weapons.

Maggit's Friend: He has been friends with Maggit since they were both about 10 and after all their years of friendship, Maggit is willing to do almost anything for Tregor. So Tregor can give him instructions and make use of Maggit's Singleminded rule.

Got some ammo 'round here somewhere: Has all kinds of ammo lying around in pockets, just in case, so rather than having a set number of reloads, he can reload if he passes a sagacity test, representing finding the correct ammo within his various pockets. Only valid for stadard ammo types.

Background/Details:

His parents were gangers and lived with them and among their kind for the first 8 years of his life until his parents were killed by the illness/plague which swept through the underhive and luckily passed him by.

He doesn't consider hygiene particularly important so is often dirty, also keeps his hair short so it doesn't get in the way. Wears as functional clothing as he can with plenty of pouches and of a hard wearing material.

Tries to be as efficient as possible and tries not to leave anything to chance.

Grew up among people who handled guns and bladed weapons and so has been familiar with them from an early age. He tries to be proficient at everything he does so has spent a reasonably large amount of time practicing the both of them.

Is a very practical person having spent most of his life looking after himself and Maggit, values Maggit as a friend as Maggit, being fairly simple, finds such wonder and entertainment or amusement in things whereas Tregor doesn't, he just tries to see the reality behind things and improve himself.

Is probably the only friend of Maggit who doesn't take advantage of his follower nature. Besides Maggit he has acquaintances rather than friends, he is loyal to his employer but not to the death, and tries to be friendly to anyone useful that he can find, weapon smiths, informants and the like.

Has no enemies particularly, is too unemotional to provoke hate in anyone.

Obtained his shock maul and precision stubber after entering the service of his employer, having requested them to account for more eventualities. Had the rest of his equipment from his time as ganger being relatively easy items to get a hold of.

Being reasonably emotionless, seeming cold to most people, he doesn't have many likes or dislikes, it is all about survival and increasing his chances of survival through training and studying. He does however smoke alot having become addicted at an early age.

Doesn't have much of a moral code, has no trouble with killing or other violent activities. He would never betray his friendship with Maggit and besides that he tries to keep to imperial values unless he really has no choice. Survival is utmost in his thoughts.



Think thats everything I've thought up so far, what do people think?

[Shannow]

Though some people may say the caring only for Maggit like a little brother is a cliche I think it works well, and could provide nice dynamics in a game. Perhaps add a test to decide which orders Maggit gives precedence to if, for example, two people give him orders that can use his simple minded rule. Just a suggestion

The only things I'd pick at were that he perhaps has one too many guns and if I were to get rid of one I'd get rid of the standard stubber? And also I think you sell him short on nerve and possibly willpower and sagacity.

I say nerve as he's been through illness and plague and the gang system of the hives so he could probably hold his own well. Sagacity because you said he's practically minded, but maybe just give him benefits in certain areas? And maybe up willpower for much the same reasons as I gave for nerve. Again just my opinion.

Do like him though! Any model ideas?

HERESY.

On a slightly (only slightly) more sensible note, he could stand to lose a gun, and maybe get a reload for some of the pistols and probably the lascarbine - after all, las weapon ammo is one of the easiest things in the galaxy to acquire! As to which gun to lose, I shall echo Shannow and say you could drop the regular stubber - 3 guns and 2 close combat weapons shoukd make him as heavily armed as you suggest in his background. That said, it all depends on your local gaming group - if he fits in to the local power level, that's fine by me.
Overall, a nice concept, looking forward to seeing a model for him as well as hearing just who he and Maggit were employed by.

[dumdeedum]

A few things I forgot to mention:

He is carrying some reloads for everything, I think 1 reload for each, though this is still to be decided upon.

I think I might drop the stubber actually, I was originally thinking he carried it around as Maggits backup gun, as Maggit only has one gun with not much ammo, but then I figured if anything he would convince Maggit to carry an extra gun, rather than carrying an extra himself.


Besides that I think I may up his mental stats a bit.
Won't say much on the model yet either untill I've got a better idea of what I'm going to use.

[Chipperz]

I'm gonna be honest...  I like the Stubber.  I think it fits his theme - A concealable gun, a stealthy gun, a gun for lots of targets...  And another gun, just in case.  It's not like the addition of a Stubber particularly wrecks the character's balance, anyway :p

I might make the Precision Stubber Single fire only.  Having a precision weapon that can be fired repeatedly just doesn't seem right.  Maybe give it a scope of some kind, too?

Also, instead of giving him a set number of reloads, I seem to remember rules on here for a guy who had loads of different ammo for any eventuality, I'll see if I can track it down, but I think it was something like he finds a reload for the gun he's using if he can pass a Sg test, representing him trying to remember where he put it in the heat of battle.  It'd definitely make sense for a character that overloads himself with weapons so he doesn't leave anything to chance.

Having a precision weapon that can be fired repeatedly just doesn't seem right.

The Revised Armoury's precision stubber is based on the genuine M1911 which, in spite of being nearly 100 years old, is a design that is still used for match pistols. And yes, it can fire repeatedly - John M. Browning's semi-automatic design has been copied many times over. The man was, quite simply, a genius as far as designing firearms.

Besides, precision is simply a placeholder I used for the naming. But if you should have comment on what I've done in the Revised Armoury, it would be better discussed in its own thread.

[Chipperz]

Ahh, sorry, I was unaware he was using the revised armoury (Although I really should look into it more, excellent work as always, Marco ) I was just going by the name - "Precision Stubber" brings, to my mind, a custom job designed to fire a single, accurate, powerful shot, which would also justify the stubber as a (slightly) more rapid firing pistol.

Then again, I was also unaware that real precision pistols could fire at a decent rate.

[dumdeedum]

Partly my fault for forgetting to mention that the weapons come from the revised armoury.

Do you remember where those ammunition rules were Chipperz? Or anyone else? They sound exactly like the kind of thing I'd like for Tregor.

I've decided on him keeping the 4 guns, but have decided on changing the stubber to the PDW pistol.

Another question, forum related this time, is how do people normally go about updating their character? Overwrite the original profile in a new colour or just rewrite it in a new post?

[Brother_Brimstone]

The rules about ammo are Alyster Wick's own design for a character of his called Droog. Thread here

Generally a good way of editing characters is to change the original post but with either a strikethrough of the bits you replace and replacements by the side or edits in red. I would discourage you from re-posting him with every tweak - it will just be a needless bumping of your own topic when you aren't really adding much new; just doing what has already been said.

Hope that helps.
