Ok, I going to work up a NPC for my upcoming game. Players seem interrested after awhile of having there characters join a BPRD-like group.
So I figure I'm going to need a good NPC to bring them together. But the NPC will not stay with them, instead after they get the hang of it, the NPC will move on to a new group of rookies. IF they wish they can use the NPC as a Mentor, if they buy the right Qualities.
I remember back in the Hellboy Movie (and the bio of Hellboy found on the DVD) that during the 1940s/50s they used to do alot of tests on Hellboy and taking samples of his flesh.
My idea...to expand on this little idea and throw away plot device.
The Government took those samples, and tried for years figure out his secrets. One scientist went so far as to try and clone Hellboy after Proffessor Broom stoped the probing in 1959. The scientist was successfull in 1974. The child looked human however. So the project was deemed a failure afterall. The government allowed the child to be raised by an unknowning family. However when the child reached 18 in 1992, the teenager changed, experiancing a metamorphus into a demon. He become Hellboy-like in appearance, only as if in a mirror. His Left Hand was stone instead of his right. Also, this new Hellboy 2 enjoyed his demonic appearance. He lacked the flaming crown however. Not long afterwards the government tracked him down, and discovered who he was, their old cloning project. They took him to another group and trained him in proper military fashion in 1994. He escaped to hunt down "monsters". It was almost like it was in his gentic code to hunt down demons and the supernaturals of the world. He was allowed to live "outside" if he would come when needed. In fact he would show up before they would call him, sensing he was needed. The government still does not understand how he manages to live outside and noone seems to notice him in the world. HB2 keeps a gaurded secret (He can morph back to human form is how).

Ok what do you guys think ??
This way I can use a familiar face, and yet have the character be mine with its own unique history.
I still need to stat this guy up however.
I'm using Classic Unisystem only so I'm thinking of using the Demonic Seriphim, the Qliphonim as a bases. I know the Nephilim would actually be closer ability wise however, except add in demonic appearance. Hey thats not a bad idea actually. Ohh except Nephs cannot use magic, not even rituals. But maybe magic relics
Either that or work him up using the Incarnate/Inharitor method using primal powers since the Hellboy creatures are more like Old-gods than Angels and Fallen Angels.
Opinions ??
