Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

A D&D 3.5 minotaur vampire might work, but the only things it'd get would be blood drain (probably), being almost immediately destroyed in sunlight, and probably improved strength or combat ability from being a minotaur. I might do something with needing to drink blood instead of eating, but that's sort of getting into the "too weird" category because it'd mean you'd need to hunt every night or keep fresh livestock around or something. Stuff like turning into a bat or not being able to cross running water is too strange.

Minotaur Mummy could probably work, though I suspect it'd just get a bonus to combat and toughness. Might be a bit boring, but very workable.

Minotaur Lich would be a bit trickier, since liches are spellcasters. It might still be viable, but I can't say for certain unless I know what sort of casting class you'd want to be (note that said class wouldn't have to be from D&D; I just feel enforcing the spellcaster requirement of lich is fairly integral to what a lich is).

Horrible Gelatinous Blob might be a bit too unhumanoid and strange. It's not necessarily too cartoony though, just because it's sort of easy to imagine a giant blob of greenish-brownish goo in that vague shape.


Name : Kaguro Draven
Appearance : Roughly 6'4', covered in white loosefitting clothing from neck to toes, straight brown hair that reaches the middle of his back, pale skin, silver eyes, an odd bit of white armor-looking stuff on his nose, back of his neck, and shoulders.
Race : Hollow, Arrancar Class. Hollows are the souls of the dead who though various means where turned into monsters after they died. They must feed on souls to survive and go through an 'evolutionary' process, Normal Hollow, Menos Grande, Adjudace, Vasto Lorde, Arrancar. Arrancar have the largest difference in power of any evolutionary form as any hollow from Grande and above can become one. Basic Hollows and Menos Grande are little more than wild animals, the other forms have enough intelligence to seem human.
Class : Swordsman
Tool : Sword.
Equipment : Sword, Cloths.
My my, quite a few warriors this game. You might need to be a bit more specific with "Swordsman."


Sadly, I'm still going to have to declare them unfit for a player race.
NOOOOOO!!!! WHY?!?!?!?!
They need to be more or less humanoid to really work, whereas these are more talking intelligent dogs that can fit in odd places.

Sorry. An assassin who couldn't lie would have been interesting.

Fightline Soldier specialiseing in overwhealming power and takeing town multible enemies at once do to aglity, flexibility, strengh, and the power of a hollow's Cero, big ass beam-like weapon that can cause lots of destruction, but takes time to charge, can be aimed by a finger, hand, tounge, etc. All hollows focus it from a different place.

I am curious- if this is a multi-universal shindig where we throw in misfits from "Anywhere imaginable", why not let us come up with whatever we like, so long it's sufficiently detailed? You already said you were going to strip away most of their powers and abilities, so...  :P

Also, just to clarify a bit from the OP- magical abilities/stuff are allowed, right?

I did want some limits on what everyone could be. Having to find an example somewhere seemed like a good way to be very open-ended without letting people custom-tailor themselves too much. This is also, incidentally, why I'm willing to discuss the general aspects of your character, but won't post the finished, finalized versions until everyone's set, as well as why I don't let the player do the ability-stripping.

Magical stuff is allowed, but will probably get removed if it's too powerful or strange. If the creature doesn't really work without that, it's probably no good, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. We might end up with at least two undead, for instance.

Vampire the masquerade vampires use a reserve of blood to power their abilities so they dont need to drink blood every day, also they are not saddled with a huge amount of bizzare disadvnatages and bizzare advantages, and they can survive indirect sunlight but are weakened and sleepy or something during the daylight shift. They dont have minotaurs though. :(

otherise I'll be a Minotaur-Lich seems easier

Alright, but you'll need some sort of caster class to qualify. Doesn't have to be from D&D though.

Do note that class and race determine starting abilities, not skills. It's probably not impossible to become a necromancer anyway, you just wouldn't be as good at it.

Sorry, no. Has to be from a more... official setting, and likely too weird regardless.

I don't think it's detailed enough. It's almost more genre than setting, at least as far as I'm aware.

Not yet, you don't know where you are or who you're with yet.

Classes are so confining. so heres the background tell me if i got it right. He was born on friday the 13th, at the stroke of midnight, as a black cat crossed the rooms threshold, He is the only son of a gypsy witch who died after childbirth, and is the minotaur result from a dark pact made to have an offspring. He was raised by the one armed troll midwife who raised him in a community of primitive outcasts. It was a hard life but he rose to the top thanks to being smarter than the rest, though being as cunning brutal and tough as the rest helped. Valuing the knowledge that helped him excell he wound out to relatively more civilised lands little by little. This led to a career as an adventurer, before suffering the curse of lichdom after failing an appropriate saving through. Now he works to learn more about the fascinating world around him less directly, with a strong emphasis on magic, his studies have led him to conclude that maybe it was a whight or mummy that ended his first-life instead, his research texts are incomplete, no matter how much his mind was expanded before his transformation.

Magical arts came very easily to him at first, but he doesn't know any serious spells yet, and although he worships Vecna and The Raven Queen they have not granted him any powers, only hints and visions. He still studies magic and makes offerings to his gods, Even Having a mysterious book of cyphers and foreign scripts whose pages shift and letters fade, that was gifted to him by his gods, but it seems more like a taunt or mockery because he still hasn't figured out even 1% of it.

Shogun sometimes looses track of time. He suspects whomever holds his phylactery occasionally has use for him, it is sometimes a nuisance. He has recently been chased away from his home by a group of young, and mostly elvish adventurers. Luckily they were ill prepared to face an undead with their arrows, and he got away with the book he was reading at the time, and has decided to find a more secluded location, perhaps with a  group of security concious like minded individuals.

Name: He has been known by many names by different communities, but he introduces himself as Shogun Hua, A Bugbear name, because he had to earn that one.
Appearance: 7 feet 2 inches, more with his horns. He has 2 curved and ribbed antelope-like horns. He wears a dark tabard with a symbol on it, covered with a sleeved black cloak, Most of his features are hidden besides his face and hooves. But his braided hair pokes out of the hood that rests perfectly on the crook at the base of his horns. He wears his goatee as a double chin braid.
Race:Minotaur-Lich
Class: uhh Warlock or Sorcerer? (are we talking DnD classes here cuz i think it would be wizard then.)
Stuff: Eerie Book, Clothes, A Cow as food whom I call Moostafa

"Class" is a somewhat broad term, and doesn't have to come from the same source as your race. "Multiclass wizard/rogue" or "Combat cleric" would be acceptable D&D "classes," for instance, and it's really only relevant in seeing what starting ability you get.


Stuff: Eerie Book, Clothes, A Cow as food whom I call Moostafa
Equipment: Belt of Truth (Enables wearer to tell truth from lie without fail, but wearer is incapable of lying.), rations, mage's robes.
Clothes and food are free (though you may specify what type of either), but your only other item allowed is a single "tool," which can be any fairly basic item.


Working on everyone now, so we should have a better idea of what our roster is in a little bit.
