Fictional Characters As Traveller Characters Guessing Game

[Solomani666]

When I watch a popular TV show or movie I often wonder what the various characters would look like in terms of Traveller statistics, so I am proposing this little game...

I'll start with a character from a popular movie, book or TV series that most of the subscribers to this forum should be familiar with. The first person who guesses correctly posts their own character from popular fiction.

Other people are welcome to make suggestions to 'tweek' the character.

The final 'tweeked' characters will be added to another thread of fictional Traveller characters.

Please enter the characters in the following format:

* Tech level and or world description
* Approximate Age
* Sex
* Character stats
* Skills
* Terms and branches of service
* Brief description and/or situation [optional]

Remember this game in those GDW LBBs?

 

[Boneguard]

I think I know who it is, but I'm not well versed in Traveller to be able to post a character.

Citizens of the Imperium...

 

[Sgt_G]

I don't know how to write up a Traveller character, but my first guess would be James Bond.

 

[locarno24]

Nah. Bond would have a much higher carouse, and he's not a freelancer - plus there'd be a naval term.

Hmmm....contemporary, spec ops becoming spy, good with a gun but competent without.

I'd have said Jason Bourne? Not sure about the age, though.

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

The guy from Burn Notice?

 

[Boneguard]

My guess is: Rick Deckard from Blade Runner

 

[AndrewW]

The guy from Burn Notice?

That would be Michael Westen. Wouldn't be a bad fit.

 

[Solomani666]

The guy from Burn Notice?

Close enough.

Michael Weston



Your turn Rikki Tikki!

 

[GamingGlen]

No way that's Michael Westen, the Melee (unarmed) is way too low; as well as pretty much most skills. He's one of the top spies in the world, he's not going to have piddly level 1 and 2 skills in several categories.

So upload your corrections...

 

[Gypsy Knights Games]

It has been a while since I've watched Burn Notice, but shouldn't Michael have at least one level in Streetwise? Or are we assuming he relies on Sam for all of that?

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

Your turn Rikki Tikki!

Well, I wasn't planning on doing this, but this should be an easy one:

UPP: 686CAC
Age: 38
3 terms Dilettante
2 terms Scientist

Skills:
Battle Dress 3, Broker 1, Carouse 2, Computers 2, Drive 0, Engineer (Electronics) 3, Flyer (Grav) 1, Gambler 0, Gun Combat (Energy Rifle) 1, Heavy Weapons (MPA) 1, Jack-of-All-Trades 1, Mechanic 2, Physical Science (Electronics) 1, Space Science (Robotics) 3.

Equipment: Battle Dress
Credits: Portfolio (Business 25 MCr), Property (10 MCr)

WHO AM I?

 

[steelbrok]

Iron Man/Tony Stark

 

[ShawnDriscoll]

I never heard of Michael Weston, so would have never figured it out.

 

[Solomani666]

Iron Man/Tony Stark

Good one!

My guess exactly.

 

[Solomani666]

NEW RULE:

If you feel that you have an interesting character to contribute, just add him or her.
I have no problems with multiple threads.

Also, if you are unsure of a stat or there is not enough information to accurately gauge a stat, the simply put a "(?)" after the stat.

 

[Solomani666]

This is a really hard one...

Her psionics is a passive skill that is always active and gives her a +3 or -3 in her favor for any die roll that would do her serious harm or would allow her to escape harm or to procreate.
