Posts: 238 Apr 21 08 7:55 PM Newly Risen Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is an enormous thread and I really didn't want to go all through it, so I just have to ask - has anyone mentioned The Warriors from the movie of the same name? I could just picture them and Nikki Wood, the '70s Slayer. Edit: Nope, nobody has. They'd be an interesting group for a supporting Cast, or perhaps one of the many gangs that a NYC Slayer/Watcher pair would have to negotiate with to go monster bashing on their turf.

Good call, I'll have to add the Warriors and at least the Baseball Furies to the mix.

Loki DodgesTheirClaws	The Wolfen	#343	[-]
Posts: 238 Apr 23 08 6:49 PM Newly Risen Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Soon as I have the time - probably sometime this weekend - I'm going to do a writeup of the Wolfen. These are going to be the humanity's-natural-predator-types from the original novel (which came out in the mid-to-late '70s), not the half-assed superintelligent wolves from the movie (1981). I wish I could find the picture I saw from a book which illustrated various critters from various fantasy/horror novels (the same guy did another illustrating SF critters like the Puppeteers from the Ringworld series, but unfortunately I can't remember his name. Grumble.) Wolfen may not be necessary in a game which already has werewolves, but they could be a non-humanoid demon race in an Angel or Buffy game rather than a naturally-evolved Earth being.

They were framed for the murder of Cyrus, leader of the Gramercy Riffs, by Luther and the Rogues. The Warriors had to make their way through the hostile turf of every gang between the Bronx and Coney Island. It wasn't until they made it to their home turf that they were able to prove their innocence in the murder.

If you have the time, could you possibly do individual stats for the cast (Ajax, Swan, Vermin etc), not too bothered about the enemies, i can make them up. I will try and find the warriors stats i made ages ago and post them. Spike (Angel 1.3 In the Dark) : You see, i was once a bad-ass vampire, but love, and a pesky curse de-fanged me, and now i'm just a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth.

Posts: 775 Jun 20 08 2:27 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Heres my take on Ajax from the Warriors. What if also some sort of "Warrior" quality was made? Each gang could have a quality which is like their gang name and it gives them bonuses to what they do (sports for someone like the baseball furies for the baseball stuff, influence for the lizzies). Anyway: Ajax - Strength 6, Dexterity 6, Constitution 6, Intelligence 2, Perception 4, Willpower 4. Life points: 73, Drama points: 20, Veteran Qualities: Buff guy (3 point), criminal, hard to kill 5, resistance (pain) 4, natural toughness, nerves of steel, fast reaction time, situational awareness, attractiveness +2. Drawbacks: Covetous (serious conspicuousness), adversary (other gangs) 3, covetous (serious lechery), mental problems (severe recklessness). Skills: Kung fu 8, acrobatics 6, getting medieval 6, notice 5, crime 4, driving 4, gun fu 3, influence 5, knowledge 2, sports 6. Comments anyone? This is the first character i have attempted on these forums, the only other thing i have done is post my player's stats for a game we are doing.

Posts: 1913 Jun 20 08 6:30 AM Zombielord Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Nice. I just watched the movie again last night. I'd give Rembrandt Situational Awareness since he was the only one who noticed that the Lizzies were a trap. Swan would get it too, he always knew when someone was following or trying to sneak up on him. I'd also give Swan Fast Reaction Time because of the showdown on the beach. Ajax gets Reckless and Lecherousness, which is how the cops got him.

Posts: 775 Jun 20 08 7:45 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, was thinking about giving Rembrandt situational awareness but didn't, he did notice the lizzies but he did get knifed at the same time, i guess he is worthy of it at the end of the day, forgot those drawbacks on Ajax but he should have them, and yes, Swan will definitely have those qualities. The rest of the warriors will be up here soon. I'm just working out there stats etc now. I will make edits to those characters.
