Karrad Brekkon, Thief Concept (Advanced Fighting Fantasy)

Back to character list

Preamble 

I barely recall the Fighting Fantasy books existing, but looking over the Advanced Fighting Fantasy game, it rings a bell as something I tried briefly and moved on to other things. Probably without even realizing it was part of the same adventure game bucket as Dungeons & Dragons.

I've barely scratched the surface of the core rule book. I have no idea yet what the world of Titan is like nor the civilizations that exist upon it. 

Character

Karrad is short and fat and has been since his tenth year, mostly due to inactivity and being well-fed. Both of those come from his parents being functionaries in the city guilds and doing everything in their very little power to install Karrad into a lifelong position, likewise being a functionary in the city guilds. While he appreciates their efforts, for years he has found the life to be both thankless and unrewarding in any sense of the word. He watches his parents aging with little hope of retiring before they die. He expects to care for them as they age, and he's satisfied to do so, but he foresees he will be alone when they are gone. Some time ago he resolved that it would not be enough to follow his family's trade of scratching numbers and names on scrolls, writing letters for others, carrying messages, or scribing records. He was in a position to take advantage of those who took advantage of all others. Why not do so.

Avran the Barbarian (OSE-A)

2025 Character Creation Challenge Back to the character list. Name: Avran Class: Barbarian Level: 1 Title: None. He eschews any such affectation, as he knows he is ignorant of the world and has yet to prove his mettle through any great feats. Alignment: Chaotic Languages: Chaotic AL, Common Story So Far: Before leaving his community, Avran worked on the small farm of a relative in his clan's territories while others were away raiding, feuding, or working as sell swords to foreign potentates. None of it, not the fighting, the farming, or any other option available to the youth, held any interest or value. Thus, after wondering for years as each boat left for foreign shores, he decided to seek something, anything, that could stir his heart, his courage, his blood, in any way.  Ability Scores: Strength: 14 Intelligence: 8 Wisdom: 9 Dexterity: 11 Constitution: 10 Charisma: 6 (max retainers = 3, loyalty = 6) Saving Throws: Death/Poison: 10 Magic Wands: 13 Paralysis/Petrifica...

Merrit Alban Beech, Half-Living (Dead Reign, Palladium Books)

Back to the character list Startlingly tall, skinny, pale, cool skin, Merritt appears as though he just died and no one bothered to tell him he shouldn't be walking around. Some wiseacres have said he looks a lot better now than he did in the office. Merritt's memories of before near-death are still there, but he doesn't remember being what you'd call happy. There are no moments he can point to and say, there, that was when he felt joy. But he's not sure if he's unhappy now or preferred whatever living hell he was consigned to previously. He does know that he feels a visceral terror thinking about the other side of near-death or that anyone would become like him or complete the passage, so that's what he dedicates himself to preventing. Never offer Merritt a cup of Java.  Characteristics: Sex: Male-ish, he's not alive and not dead, sex is kind of a moot point, a philosophical issue perhaps, but largely irrelevant to Merritt at this point. Age: 34 Height:...
