Dismiss5896 in-depth character profiles from comics, games, movies
Writeups.org is an encyclopaedia of characters in genre fiction — comic books, video games, action movies, etc. It offers illustrated, researched profiles. These also include technical data for role-players. If you need a robust understanding of a character’s abilities, personality, history, etc. this is *the* place to be.
An old school Advanced Dungeons & Dragons monster. We’ll have a a handful of those as long-term preparation for a Baldur’s Gate profiles arc.
An early (1938) Golden Age villainess who fought Zatara the Magician (DC Comics’ Mandrake expy). She has an interesting legacy, she does.
Now with elegantly striped M&M stats, to boot.
A few bits of DC Heroes RPG new rules and clarification material that didn’t fit among our more specialised pages on the subject. Recent additions :
— Useful material from the old FAQ that existed on the previous version of the site.
— Weight classes for Character creation
— “Substitutive” vs. “additive”
Part #3 of our Valérian & Laureline series of profiles, about these seminal graphic novels. Here we finish summarising the stories, and explain the timeline shenanigans in a compact and, dare I say, timely manner.
The profiles should be read in order, or you may trigger a time paradox that erases the Earth. Just saying.
Continuing Bryan’s arc through the 1980s Marvel Transformers comics, with Bumblebee. As you could prolly tell from the illustration, if you’re an older gentleman. Back then BB still turned into a VW Beetle.
An obscure Captain America mostly-enemy. A cop who became a dauntless killer vigilante. An enhanced private police force. These are his stories.
Fully revised and updated in May, 2017. And now with a M&M stats badge.
Minor Black Widow and Captain America foe. Handy organised crime enforcer and manager type.
As of May of 2017, this profile was redone, and received a new knotted loincloth made of M&M stats.
A magically gifted thief “repossessing” dangerous artefacts for unclear purposes. And, unfortunately, attempting to do so in style. From our Christmas of 2016 character creation contest.
Ratchet of the Transformers as he appeared in the 1980s Marvel Comics books series. He’s the robot doctor who turns into a robot ambulance and saves the robot day.
A triad of diminutive, talented alien spies who frequently sell intelligence to Valérian and Laureline. These are surprisingly popular minor characters, with snouts.
A very minor Captain America enemy. I think she’s easy to use as a criminal operator in various thriller scenarios.
As of May of 2017, this entry was revised, its images improved, and it received crafty and well-groomed M&M stats.
A super-strongman who worked with the White Queen’s Hellions during the early 1990s.
As of May, 2017 this small profile was revised, and pumped up with M&M stats.
The early career — everything up to Alpha Flight vol. 1 #28 — of the mighty, furry, orangey Sasquatch.
As of May, 2017 this profile now has M&M stats braided into its fur.
A minor foe of the New Warriors, who essentially shoots lightning. As of May, 2017 this small profile has been improved, and M&M stats were etched in using an electron beam.
Part one of a big article (presented in easily digestible smaller bits, as usual) about a rather important series of graphic novels.
It’ll explain all the things. Yes, even *that* thing you thought nobody’d ever explain. That one’s in part #3 in the article, but still do read it all in order ‘kay thanks.
From the rather important Valerian graphic novels. This profile directly continues our Valérian profile.
She’s sharp, she’s resourceful, she’s really hot, she’s a space-time agent, she’s opinionated, she has a grumpy transmuter from Bluxte and a blaster and a smile !
The version of the Punisher who appears in the second of Netflix’s adaptation of Daredevil, as played by Jon Bernthal.
Spoiler – he uses guns.
An obscure DC Universe French super-heroine. As of May of 2017, illustrations and texts overhauled and added M&M 3rd game stats.
Improvised, home-made firearms in stories and how they work. Chiefly useful for post-apocalyptic or crime stories, but can be handy for all sorts of resources-poor settings really. Dual-statted for DCH and M&M, but still in beta.
Wolfsbane of the New Mutants during her earliest career (1982-1985), because everybody loves Rahne (and because it was getting weird not to have a profile for her).
A very 1980s cartoons baddie, appearing in ’em vintage G.I. Joe episodes. YOU SHALL READ THIS WRITE-UP ! THIS I COMMAND ! I AM SERPENTOR !
One of the emblematic characters of Emerald City, one of the campaign settings for the Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition RPG. Super-strength.
An images-animating, demon-possessed beginner super-hero. From our Halloween of 2016 random character creation contest.
Another convenient video game monster from Serious Sam games. Kinda like a giant robot leggy bird with angry lasers.
Black Lightning in his early days. This one is based on the 2009 Year One retelling, which was excellent.
As of April, 2017 this profile got a good round of improvements and received crackling, buzzing M&M stats.
Another member of the Challengers, from a super-hero campaign run decades ago by writeups.org contributors. Young light-manipulating heroine.
One of the original characters created during our Halloween of 2016 semi-competitive events. Magical matter manipulation.
An example of a small, simple base in Terraria that covers the basics and is practical without looking utterly terrible. Semi-beginner level article.
Because even I have to take breaks from time to time.
The version of Robin who appears in The Dark Knight Return, as 13-year-old Carrie Kelley.
As of April of 2017, this has been entirely redone – and a little bird told me there were now M&M stats.
The transdimensional, interglactic, dysfunctional evil genius from the fan-favourite Rick & Morty parody cartoon.
