Alien Fiction: The Queen in Yellow

First Coda: RPG Characters

First Coda: RPG Characters

Apr 19, 2018

Let's have a little roleplaying fun while we are here. I thought that some readers might enjoy seeing the character sheets of some of the more prominent characters within this story. Personally, I like to make short stat blocks like these to help me fill in any holes missing from a character concept or keep the abilities of characters in some kind of perspective.

As with the rest of this book, these character sheets are released under the same Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so please feel free to use them in your game sessions, your own books, or even your own Rule 34 art. 

Wait a minute, why do I never see stat blocks in hentai doujinshi?

These stat blocks were built for the Alien Fiction Roleplaying Game which is detailed in the main Alien Fiction book. Just for a quick recap, most Alien Fiction RPG characters are crafted using the Backstory System. A player picks four backstory elements from lists: one childhood, one education, one passion, and one career. Each element adds attribute points and skills points. The player then adds a few freebie points wherever he likes. Some more experienced characters will have developed more points as their character develops, and these can include gaining additional backstory elements like a second passion for example. That's pretty much it.

Welcome to the first of (probably) three codas. In this coda, we look at the stats of our characters. If you have no interest in roleplaying games, you may skip this episode entirely. Really, I don't mind.

Ah Isis, that name didn't age well. It will take many generations to be a non controversial name again. I always try and find neutral names for my characters and hope none become a problem and I have to change my books in 10, 20 years from now.

In this stand-alone Alien Fiction story, the Lady Isis, a powerful and ancient alien, needs some adventure. She volunteers herself for a quest into the most dangerous region in the entire universe (and yes, she has seen the entire universe). Before beginning her mission, she must build an elite team of adventurers by recruiting the most powerful human warriors from across all space-time. Well, if not elite or powerful, they must at least look cute. It'll be goofy, it'll be exciting, and it will be unforgettable.
