well, we can have a look at the chars after you are done, and *then* vote, after everybody is done actually putting their own touches on the whole thing

So, I'm supposed to do all the work, and then if you don't like it it all goes bye-bye?
I also note that you put up a poll to end the GURPSing earlier, before I did so. Interesting.

Spoiler: Selina's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Snatcher _{(Permanent, Cosmic [Costs 4 FP], Costs FP (10), Limited Use (max 2 times/day), Magical, Preparation Required (8 hours), Takes Recharge (1 hour), Trigger (Drawing Materials), Untrainable, Unpredictable)}
Pacifism (Total Nonviolence)
Combat Paralysis

Spoiler: Summary (click to show/hide)

Selina can turn drawings into real things. She needs to spend eight hours on a proper drawing, but once it is made, she can take it out any time. She can only create two such things per day, and must wait for her energy to recharge (requires at least an hour). There's only about a 50-50 chance that it'll turn out as intended. Normally, she is simply completely exhausted after creation; however, if she tries to make anything big enough (over ~5 pounds) or which is alive, she's knocked unconscious. Creating things that are both big and alive, really big, or sentient (especially magic-capable ones) would probably risk actually harming Selina, let alone if she does more than one of those at once.

Selina will not harm another being she knows to be sentient willingly, and will generally try to dissuade others from doing so. (Not that she'll always succeed; she's still, you know, passive.)

Selina tends to freeze up in dangerous situations. She can make a Health roll to avoid doing so. "Do not roll until the moment you need to fight, run, pull the trigger, or whatever." If it succeeds, she's okay; if not, she can try again next turn.

Regeneration (Slow)
Acute Taste and Smell 3
Sanitized Metabolism

Spoiler: Summary (click to show/hide)

Stella can turn into either a dragon or a halfway-between state. In all forms, she heals quicker¹, has more acute smell and taste¹, and is, quote the rulebook², "totally clean".

In her hybrid form, Stella has tough, fire-resistant scales¹, +1 Strength, wings that let her fly, claws that act as Normal weapons, and a fiery breath that can reach up to 100 yards away, spreading out to a maximum width of five yards at that distance. The fiery breath can also cure various afflictions, including most curses and many more exotic toxins but not most diseases. I think, I don't have the sourcebook that the advantage Angle recommended came from. Anyways, she also takes double damage from cold attacks. She's also taller and broader, which (along with the wings) makes it impractical for her to wear armor.

In the full dragon form, Stella retains all these additional abilities, but gains new ones. The scales increase in durability¹, the Strength bonus increases to +2, the claws are joined by fangs which give her effectively a Good natural weapon. On the other hand, she retains the vulnerability to cold, and is not only large enough to impede her passage in smaller or crowded spaces, but is also quadrupedal, which naturally leaves her unable to manipulate objects in any but the crudest manners as well as making it difficult to use most any facilities designed for humans or wear most armor.

Changing forms requires ten seconds of concentration.

Detect (Magic)
AI
Machine
Ad Hoc: Explosive abilities
Fragile (Explosive)
Vulnerability (Electricity, x2)
5 points of disadvantages

Spoiler: HILDA Summary (click to show/hide)

HILDA has an inbuilt set of weapons. The Magic Shot acts as a typical magic attack and also stuns on hit. Other weapons can be shapeshifted; HILDA can change her form as desired, taking 10 seconds for any change, although she needs to keep the same mass and roughly the same shape, and the changes can't affect her stats. She can also fly, though not higher than 30 feet or so, and has magical sensors that I don't remember the name of. Their range is comparable to eyesight or hearing (including the fading of quality and comprehension when you get far away); it allows HILDA to detect and analyze nearby significant sources of magic. Let's also give her those self-destructive abilities.
She is also an AI in a robot. This means that she isn't affected by metabolic hazards or conventional telepathic powers, can't bleed or be affected by bloodborne things, takes less damage from bullets and other such small piercing projectiles (let's apply a flat 1/3), has perfect timing, never sleeps or forgets, and can access the Internet with her brain. However, she doesn't heal naturally (though she can be repaired) and can be reprogrammed by anyone who has access to her CPU. She also needs to be recharged (refueled?) every several hours rather than needing to eat.
She isn't all-powerful, though. Her body contains unstable ordinance; any single attack that inflicts at least half of her full HP in damage or kills her requires a Health roll to avoid exploding, which would be bad (hurting people nearby and killing HILDA if she wasn't killed by the attack). She also takes double damage from electricity. Also, there's another five points of Disadvantages we need to fill to keep her 100% balanced. If we're going to worry about that, we need another minor disadvantage to add. Got ideas?

[Projeck37]

Hmmm... Oh yeah, I have to do Inyana as well. That's right.

[PrivateNomad]

I'm pretty sure HILDA can shift her stays around and fly more than thirty feet high.
Plus HILDA doesn't need to charge, as she siphons void magic. Maybe rarely.
And plus she can't be repaired by normal means, at least not actually replacing her hull.
As for everything else, that should be fine. HILDA runs on electricity as well as void magic.

HILDA would not only be damaged by electricity but also antivoid.

[Akroma]

what does DR: [number] mean`


as for Selina, does she really need to be nerfed *that* bad? As it stands, she is barely capable of doing..anything.


as for HILDA, there's a bit of a lore break here, she is not, infact, an AI. Technicaly, she is a part of a void entity that is used to animate golems and machinery, that got *corrupted* by creation. There is no such thing as an actual computer that is controling her robotic body. It contains a fist-sized core that can not be changed, and the rest of her body is more or less terminator 2 style alloy stuff. The whole robot theme is more of an identity crisis. Though it does also mean her reaction time is not perfect.


Which btw gives me an idea for the flaw you were asking for - void creatures are vulnerable to creation magic. Though considering that would mean all magic that is not void magic, that might be a WAY more harmfull flaw than what is still needed. I guess limiting it to specific anti-void measures would be better. Anti-void fields would not immediatly desintegrate her, but may fuck up with her senses, maybe give some debuffs etc.




Also, similarly to ICARUS that too, is less of an AI and more of a modern day spirit that posesses computers, hacking is really not the trouble. Remember how it was a large character arc that ICARUS discovered she could actually ignore the -hardcored- prime directives. Whatever programming is going on on the body Icarus is in, her presence in it overrides it.


the actual problem would be, though nobody ever tried that, an excorcism. If actually driven out of a sufficently advanced computer to sustain her, Icarus would probably not live long. Of course, excorcisms are time-intensive things, and considering Icarus appearance and lack of actual data on what is going on (with her being the first (I guess?) of her kind), an excorcism may be a bit counter intuitive. It may be a bit more intuitive for HILDA, as unlike Icarus, she gives of a clear void presence. The TN would probably still be rather high.

edit: I forgot to mention, but what happens to HILDA having 4 standard forms to switch inbetween?

[Projeck37]

Spoiler: Ashley Davis (click to show/hide)

REGULAR FORM
      -Ashley Davis
Gender: Female
Age: In Creation years, 23.
Appearance: Image
Stats
Health - 17 -51 HP
Mana - 10 - 20 MP
Speed - 17
Skill - 22
Strength - 15
Mag - 12
Defense - 10
Resistance - 13
Perks:
   Deadeye- If the character's skill roll fails by a margin of 2 or less, the attack lands as if it landed successfully by 1.
   Counter-Strike- If Ashley successfully dodges an attack, she can counter-attack once for free, while still rolling for the Fatigue Katana if it is being used. (This again, can be upgraded every 9 stat points in Speed. So at 18, it'll be 2 strikes, and at 27 it'll be 3, etc.)
   Chained- Ashley chains together tele-strikes, with a max of 2. (This max will increase every 8 skill stat points. So at 24, it'll increase to 3, then at 32 it'll be at 4.)

Level 5
Exp: 20

Equipment:
Voidwalker clothing- Can exist both in Creation and Void on its own. A gift from Void to Ashley after she was killed in the Dumah fight. When her weapon is drawn, black Mordite plating covers her from head to toe. When the plating forms in Creation, it has no weight since it is not of Creation and doesn't have the same properties. (+1 Defense when it's in its regular form. +2 defense, +1 resist to standard magic (due to Mordite plating) when in armored form.)
Embargo Katana- Lowers the Speed and Strength stats of enemies temporarily when struck (Amount lowered is the difference of the Skill and Dodge rolls, divided evenly between Speed and Strength. In the case where the difference cannot be divided evenly, Speed has the higher debuff). Can only cause damage if the Strength vs Defense roll is won, where damage is calculated with half the normal damage.
Mordite Blade- Sword made of Mordite, which is pure void, extremely concentrated into a metal. Requires summoning (+7 to damage (High Quality), and increased damage to beings of Creation. Ignores most armor. Costs 7 mana to successfully summon, and lasts 5 turns. TN: 3 If the roll is failed, then the mana is not spent.)
Katana- A regular, steel katana. Basic +3 damage.

Ability: Void Manipulation.

Negligible: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 5 mile radius.
OR
Pumps a very small amount of void energy into a target, causing +1 damage to beings of Creation.

Small: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 25 mile radius, or 5 mile radius and up to three passengers.
OR
Pumps a small amount of void energy into a target, causing +2 extra damage to beings of Creation.

Medium: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 75 mile radius. (TN: 3)
OR
Pumps a medium amount of void energy into a target, causing +4 extra damage to beings of Creation. (TN: 3)

Big: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 300 mile radius. (TN: 6, or 3 and she gains Fatigue III. -3 to Speed and Strength Rolls until Rested.
OR
Pumps a large amount of void energy into a target, causing +6 extra damage to beings of Creation. (TN: 6, or 3 and she gains: Parched- May only cast a max of 3 more damage-based void spells until combat ends.)

Enormous: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 1000 mile radius. (TN: 9, or 6 and she gains Fatigue IV. -4 to Speed and Strength rolls until Rested.)
OR
Pumps an enormous amount of void energy into a target, causing +8 extra damage to beings of Creation (IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MULTIPLIER. IT IS ADDED AFTER!). (TN: 9, or 6 and she gains: Near Empty- May only cast one more damage-based void spell until combat ends. Replaces Parched.)

**Upon Ashley killing a target with a damage-based void spell, if she has Drained, it is replaced with Near Empty. If she has Near Empty, it is replaced by Parched. If she has Parched, it is removed entirely.

Special: Chaos Star Barrage- A bubble of void is created around the target, allowing Ashley to move extremely fast within. She depletes all of her mana for x amount of strikes, where x = mana left/2. Her strikes auto hit, but a SkillvSpeed roll is still made for the Embargo katana debuff. Deals magic damage equal to a medium spell (see above medium spells if target is of Creation). Gains Fatigue III (-3 SPD and STR rolls), and she gains Empty- She may not cast any more damage spells.
Special: Piercing The Vale and Beyond- Ashley fills her hands with void energy and uses it as a propellant to launch a weapon or object at an enemy through a portal. -6 mana, and adds 60% STR to the damage.

[Akroma]

difference between speed and dodge roll?


speed is the dodge roll. Skill is the hit roll. though it seems more like something that requires you to hit, and if you hit, roll a mag vs resistance, and the effect depends on that, as it is a supernatural effect that requires to be resistant

[Projeck37]

Thought it was Speed vs Speed? Eh, I'll change that.

*Fixed

[Akroma]

how big of an act is summoning the mordite sword? Maybe add that to the sheet

oh and I notice now, your TNs are a taaad bit high. We are rolling on the stats, not stat+d20. The magic part of the rules explains how high TNs are depending on the act, and how magic attacks work. As Alucard uses basicaly the same way of using void energy to damage beings, you should check his charsheet as a referance. Or not, he did not write that down. Anyway, negliable and minor have no TN, then 3, then 6 OR 3 with a minor drawback, then 9 OR 6 with a minor drawback etc.

[Projeck37]

It's right in the middle of Big and Enormous, sitting at 7 mana. Guess I do need a TN, huh?

[Projeck37]

Also, due to how she summons it, the mana isn't actually spent unless the roll to summon succeeded.

[Akroma]

that's fine, anyway, take a look at the TNs and how rolls work in the system. With a d15 (her mag stat) she is unlikely to beat a TN of 23

and sleep time

[smurfingtonthethird]

With all this char creation going on, I sorta want to make my own character too, but that'll interfere with GM business. Such dilemma, wow.

[Projeck37]

Oh wait, now I see how the TN system works. I thought it was d15/whatevertheirmagwas + MAG. Alright, that makes a lot more sense!

[kj1225]

Why does magic work like that?
