Dismiss5895 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.
Galloping, clawed, bola-hurling alien skeletons from spaaaace. And from the Serious Sam video games as well.
A foppish occult defender with something of a hereditary curse problem.
The quirky collection of mutant investigators, as written by Peter “PAD” David in the 2006 to 2013 run of Marvel’s X-Factor comic.
This is one of ’em “base camp” profiles where we explain all the material shared between characters so it doesn’t have to be presented in every single individual profile.
This is Duke of the G.I. Joe outfit, as he appeared in ’em 1980s Marvel comic books. He was less central there than he was in the vintage cartoon or in the movies, though. Thus, no Channing Tatums were harmed in the making of this character profile.
A muscular mob enforce lady with hidden magical talents. They’re not hidden at all when she does manifest them, though. Her other form is rather large. The Mindful One was part of our Halloween 2016 character creation contest.
One of those colonial White Saviour types from the Golden Age. More specifically, White Rajah appeared a few times in Fawcett comic books, starting with Master Comics #1 in 1940. He has an elephant, but do not fret – the elephant is white too.
An ogre who works as a private detective. This bloke was part of the Halloween of 2016 character creation contest.
Some news about the #content and the server, eh ?
Chapter #6 — the last one — for our sample Chosen One from Fallout 2. This one explains Mariposa, Navarro, San Francisco, the offshore platform, the Sniper perk and various other Fallout bits. Still lightly dramatized in order not to be boring.
A half-robot uplifted cybernetic dog, who’s a potential companion in the classic Fallout 2 video game.
The basics for playing the DC Heroes RPG with a scale that doubles every two units rather than one, and 2d20 as well. Because clearly, you’ve always wanted to do that.
This is a first draft because I’m currently down with the sick.
The monstrous, hate-riddled super-mutant serving as the Enclave’s one-man shock unit in the Fallout 2 video games. Also comes with the basics about the Enclave.
The version of Suicide Squad field leader Rick Flag that was published from 1986 to 2008. Covers both the Mission X version of the squad, and the Yale/Ostrander revival.
As of March 2017, this profile has been decorated with a silver medal of M&M game stats, for service above and beyond the call of duty.
Chapter #5 of 6 of our sample Chosen One, because Fallout 2 (1998) was a big game with an awful lot of post-apocalyptic stuff in it. Still lightly dramatized for your reading comfort, too, so it doesn’t read as drily as a brahmin skeleton in the salt flats.
The artificial intelligence in Fallout 2 who’s a potential companion (if you have a huge lot of Science skill points). There’s very little about the character, but IMO the background is interesting.
Second chronological entry for Frenzy, covering her time with the Acolytes of Magneto. Also gives a sense of this cult’s activities.
As of March, 2017 this profile now has steel-hard M&M game stats.
A big, axe-grinding, sharp-eyed profile for the Executioner before the W. Simonson era on Thor. So at this point the Executioner is a typical Silver Age foe of Thor, the Avengers and the Defenders.
As of March 2017, this profile now comes with sharp, hefty M&M game stats.
Very minor video game monsters seen in Serious Sam as part of Mental’ army. Please care about them. Nobody ever does.
A young Japanese dragon in human shape, on the verge of a new and unknown life.
Ruby Dragon was written up as part of our Halloween of 2016 character creation contest.
Chapter #4 for our sample Chosen One, the protagonist of the classic Fallout 2 post-apocalyptic video game. This one explains Broken Hills, Redding, New Reno and the great gangland war, and other stuff from the game.
Who’s a cute lil’ cuddly mutant ? Well, not her. Like, at all.
A particularly successful super-mutant mutate, warrior and mayor. Marcus appears in Fallout video games, though for now we only cover his Fallout 2 appearance.
Also, he has a minigun.
A discussion of human-scale (for loose values of “human”) STR and BODY attributes in DCH. No, really, it’s an interesting subject. Promise.
Article fully redone (and with the BODY-centric content added) in late February, 2017.
A creepy, psychotic wizard associated with the DC Universe’s Fearsome Five. This guy was part of our Halloween of 2016 character creation event.
From comics published by DC and Dark Horse. A hulking super-detective specialized in squalid metahuman crime cases, who also happens to be a psychologically unstable prisoner held in supermax.
Now with full M&M stats.
The handler of Travis “Bloodhound” Clevenger. Sharp FBI field agent and investigator specialized in metahuman crimes and crises.
Now with full M&M stats.
No, not that one. Nor that one. The movie one. From the 1980s coming-of-age film trilogy for kids. Yeah, that one.
Chapter #3 for our sample Chosen One, the protagonist of the classic Fallout 2 post-apocalyptic video game. This one explains Modoc, Vault City, the Highwayman car and other stuff from the game.
*The* archetypal karate teacher and Wise Old Asian Man™, Mister Miyagi was played by Pat Morita in four Karate Kid movies. It’s dated now, but the first movie did help change some views and expose the public to new stuff.
These strange monsters from the Fallout 2 video game are as tough as they are mysterious. Many Wastelanders think they are space aliens, but they probably ain’t.
We begin our “base camp” profiles for the New Warriors during their original 1990s career. As always with our team/organisation profile, the goal is both to have a focused and informative article, and to make it possible for the individual profiles of the team members to be way shorter than they would otherwise be, so not like this sentence.
Various additions and stuff (including pictures) on the 21st of February, 2017.
