Icarus has not been gurpsed

... I have a robot template that can be used, though that requires we use racials and... yeah.

I would like Grimrick to be gurpsed

Aye-aye.

... I have a robot template that can be used, though that requires we use racials and... yeah.

Do tell. Racial templates are, after all, just a bunch of traits bundled together.

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

My, what a wide array of powers. Let's start with simple stuff.

Addiction (Nicotine) [-5]
Alcoholism [-15]
Night Vision 5 [5]

Now for his sound abilities. They all rely on his guitar, and so all get a Trigger limitation for -20%. They also get a Nuisance Effect for -5%, because guitar music is going to "limit stealth and attack enemies".

Telekinesis (Strength 4 in the Unnamed System) [30]
Illusion¹ [19]
Innate Attack (Sound Pulse) (2 mana, -5%)(Area Effect [2 more mana, -5%]) [18]
Minorly isn't a word, but Healing fits the bill. [23]
Affliction (+1 any Attribute, +150%; Cumulative, +400%; 4 mana, -10%) [62]
Elastic Skin (4 mana, -10%) [13]
Not sure what that thing about collecting energies is.
Affliction (Heart Attack, +300%) [38] (50 gallons of whiskey would kill a person.)
As for the Enormous effects...just...
Now, it's obvious that not all of these are going to fly at once. But, if we say that he can only do one "super-song" at a time, we can massively reduce point costs by using the Alternative Abilities rules, reducing the total cost to merely 62+8+6+5+4+4+3=92 for all abilities I can comprehend. He has 23 points left, which I'll kindly assume is enough for the...weird effects.

Spoiler: Grimrick Summary (click to show/hide)

Grimrick needs to consume both tobacco and alcohol daily; if he fails to consume one, he must make a Health roll to avoid suffering the equivalent of a point of damage plus any other withdrawal symptoms the GM feels appropriate; failing to do either means rolling for both! Also, in the presence of alcohol, he must roll to resist partaking and going on a binge. Oh, and if he keeps up the drinking, he's going to need to worry about losing stats eventually. Don't do drugs, kids.
Grimrick takes half penalties for low light. More interestingly, though, he can create a variety of effects with his guitar. He can only do one at a time, though--he can't heal while boosting allies' stats or make attacks while generating illusions. Also, don't try to be sneaky.
Grimrick may start all of his sentences with "Me Grimrick".

[Kassire]

May I ask about the "Me Grimrick" part?

[kj1225]

If Icarus is that close she would know that there's been regular radio broadcasts from the castle.

[Akroma]

yeaaah...because people still use radio and check for pirate channels...

[IamanElfCollaborator]

yeaaah...because people still use radio and check for pirate channels...

They still do.

[kj1225]

She is a robot with nothing to do.

Familiar with one Mr. Welch and his list?

[smurfingtonthethird]

Mr Welsh is my idol.

Spoiler: Albrecht Stahlmann (click to show/hide)

Name: Albrecht Stahlmann

Age: 21

Description: He has dark blond straight hair. He has purple eyes behind thin-lensed glasses. He often wears a black longcoat and black trousers with a white shirt on top. He has a slender, but strong frame.

Stats: 100
Health: 15
Mana: 10
Speed:15
Skill: 15
Strength: 10
Magic: 15
Defence: 10
Resistance: 10

Equipment: Enchanted longcoat (bulletproof, bladeproof, somewhat resistant to magic)
Handgun
Knife

Ability: Illusionist: Albrecht has mastered the art of creating illusions, allowing him to deceive any and all things that perceive him. Using cameras or other digital equipment will still show his illusions. His illusions cannot harm anyone- unless one believes them to be real, in which case they must take a roll to not damage themselves through some sort of twisted nocebo effect. (GM please check)
Martial Artist: As most of his illusions don't actually hurt anyone, barring the above effect, Albrecht is fairly decent in martial arts to compensate. Specifically, Judo. Passive.


Examples:

Negligible: Any use out of battle; him creating one or two duplicates of himself, making small scale illusions, etc.
In battle; him blurring anyone to be hard to see or him creating the illusion of an attack hitting twice.

Small: In battle, creating one or two duplicates of himself or allies, turning invisible.

Medium: Creating the illusion that him and his allies are invisible, creating a group of duplicates of himself or allies.

Big: Creating an illusion covering the entirety of a small area, e.g a house or a street.

Enormous: Creating an illusion covering the entirety of a football stadium.

Gigantic: Creating an illusion covering an entire quarter of a city.

This good GM-sempai?

[smurfingtonthethird]

Looks good to me. I was worried about the AoE of these, but since they're all illusions, it's alright, I guess.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Yaaaay

I saw The Edge of Tomorrow and the new Godzilla movie last night. They had some of the same weaknesses, although the Godzilla movie had them all worse.
The characters were standard templates, not much interesting about them; I felt that the monsters got more characterization than the main characters of either movie. It was hard to care when they died. They also had logical and scientific flaws (though I'll grant that EoT at least had the decency to not embarrass itself by trying to explain its stuff), plus stupid characters and my pet-peeve trope of Going Against The Man to Save the Day. Godzilla managed to get me and my family to care about one character, Ford's dad, but in my case it was mostly that I was glad to see him gone; he annoyed me for some reason. Maybe because if the movie wasn't tailored to his fantasies and didn't bend to his son's emotional needs, he would have been dead a dozen times over by the time he finally died. Oh, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Godzilla represents technology even more poorly than Pacific Rim, analog giant mecha and all. Some stuff bugged me, and I'm not that tech-savvy; my father, who is more of one, pointed out several errors that I missed (e.g, the ship carrying the nuke shouldn't have been crippled by the EMP, which makes more sense if you've seen the movie, trust me).
I place my Seal of Disapproval on Godzilla. The Edge of Tomorrow was neat, I guess, and it was darkly hilarious to see Cage dying repeatedly as he trained to be non-pathetic.

Remember how I said he reached critical blushing point? Scratch that, he's reached it now. His face is entirely red.

That's nothing. You should see Selina's critical blushing.

[kj1225]

Eh, I'm going to see edge of tomorrow and Maleficent soon.
