lurkerwithoutUgh. All bloated from eating too much chicken. Man I wish I could lie down. But since I'm at work might as well write out the next Character Creation post. This week, I break out my old, old (the copyright is 1980) copy of Top Secret. To start you use d100s to roll up Physical Strength, Charm, Willpower, Courage, Knowledge and Coordination. And then depending on how you roll you add a variable bonus to that...
So -
P.Str: 55 +10 = 65
Charm: 77 +5 = 82
Willpower: 52 + 10 = 62
Courage: 46 +15 = 61
Knowledge: 32 +25 = 57
Coordination: 87 +5 = 92
Witty and friendly and quick on his feet.
The next set of stats are all derived from the first set. Offense: 77, Deception: 72, Evasion: 87, Deactivation: 75, Life Level: 13, Movement Value: 119
My spy, who will be named..um..Lance..er..Fire..gate? Sure. Lance Firegate. Anyway I'll make him an American. Age and height are random. And Lance is short. Only 5'7". And 29. I'll make him black haired with steel grey eyes and weighing in at 163 lbs. Not sure how that would look on someone that short of course...
So with his Knowledge level, Lance gets 3 languages. His native (English) and two others. For English he speaks at a skill value of 97, and for the others (German and Russian) he scores a 1 and an 8. Since the lowest you can have to start is 40, both get bumped up to the minimum...
Lastly (well there is still gear, but I don't want to do shopping for these characters) is Superior Areas of Knowlege. These are things he knows more about than just the general info the stat gives him. His Know of 57 gives him six. I got 3 rolls for PC Chooses so I gave him Political Science/Ideoogy (55), Psychology (64) and World History/Current Affairs (67). The ranomly rolled ones end up being Photography (54), Home Economics (53) and Geography (98). So he's an ok cook and can fake taking pictures to use it as a cover and he's good with maps...
Wait, forgot one thing. Bureau. I've got three choices. Investigation, Confiscation and Assassination. I'll go with Investigation. So there we go. Low-level field analysist Lance Firegate. Or maybe tree. Firetree? No, we'll stick with gate...
Here again is my rpg list if any of you have any requests. Otherwise I guess I'll start working thru Terry's list...
