Dismiss5928 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.
Third and last part of our full character profile of DC Comics’ Wonder Woman during the late 2000s. That’s the Gail Simone run. This part has the quotes, a FAQ, and the DC Heroes stats.
Our Wonder Woman (Gail Simone run) profile used to be a single article, but it was way too big. As of July of 2017, it was split into three parts.
An enigmatic, powerful and classy space princess who became an important ally of Valérian and Laureline. Also discusses her mysterious, rare species – which other folks call The Masters.
The second “episode” of our extensive team profile for Marvel Comics’ New Warriors, so the articles remain (relatively !) short. Read the first profile first, of course (link within).
There isn’t much to say about the Shadowgrounds video game protagonist, but attempting to make sense of the space background, and the space weapons and space armour, does present a certain space interest.
In between shooting space aliens, of course.
Another short-ish profile about a time-honoured, distinctive species of monsters in Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPGs who appears in Baldur’s Gate. Have you hugged an ankheg today ?
The second “named” guy we ever saw fight Iron Fist. He had a kusarigama, but nevertheless everybody forgot about him.
As of June of 2017, his chain ends in a weight made of M&M stats.
A masked K’un Lun kung fu robot ! Who shoots knives ! What’s not to love ?
As of June of 2017, Sh-Hu the Lightning can now break stacks of bricks with one chop from its M&M stats.
An extensive profile for Dr. Liara T’Soni as she appears during Mass Effect 2, which also covers the interim events between the two games. Also comes with a huge amount of material about Asari physiology.
As of June of 2017, this article was cleft in two because it was just too big. This one is thus the first part of Liara’s ME2 profile.
Liara is one of the key characters from the Mass Effect sci-fi video game saga, and one of the most developed. This here profile is part #3 of our coverage.
This profile describes the rest of Mass Effect 2. We used to have a single article for Liara in ME2, but there are too many different things we needed to discuss so it was too long.
What’s happening on writeups.org these days, and our thrice-a-year donation drive to keep the whole bloody thing breathing. This is the June, 2017 edition.
This is Siryn (Theresa Cassidy) from the beginning up to Feral’s attack. So the bulk is X-Force appearances, I reckon.
We advice caution as THIS PROFILE CONTAINS ROB LIEFELD ART. People with allergies should thus be careful.
This is early, vintage Luke Cage back during the initial run of Hero for Hire in the 1970s. Rather extensive profile with lotsa information.
On 2017’s Juneteenth, this profile was overhauled and received steel-hard M&M stats.
More laid back than a broken recliner, “Ralph” from the planet Glapum’t has a brain with more processing power than cyberpunk-future-Google. He plays an important role in Laureline & Valérian graphic novels.
This is a short illustrated guide to the various ages and Earths of DC Comics’ super-hero stories.
It focuses on what you need to understand to read our profiles. It is chiefly intended for writeups.org readers who aren’t super-hero comic books experts.
As of the 19th of June, 2017, added a primer about the comic book characters that were bought to join the DCU.
A Batman enemy working for Maxie Zeus. Low-street-level but decent skills and gear, and nice style.
As of June 2017 this profile was revised, and received steel-feathered, feast-spoiling M&M stats.
A very Silver Age bad guy who fought Green Lantern. But you’ll have to read to learn what is his weapon of choice !
As of June, 2017, this profile has been revised. It also now has an arsenal of M&M stats it can throw pretty far.
As of June of 2017, this profile had its keel cleaned and its rigging overhauled. It now covers Namorita’s entire career, *and* has M&M stats that float fairly well.
A quarter of themed and competent hitmen seen in Valerian & Laureline graphic novels. They’re kinda fun, and they’re easy to use.
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.
