Dismiss5839 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.
A full profile for this corny but memorable 1960s cartoon space super-hero. The entry also covers Jan, Jace and Blip the space monkey. Because that’s how we roll.
The Lady of the Lake as a street-tough 1980s Black girl (who’s not big on farcical aquatic ceremonies). Edsel was cool.
Another sample Player Character from Everquest II – a mean troll warlock lady. And her cat. She really likes cats.
A gifted contemporary writer whose life in Los Angeles in an utter car wreck devoid of impulse control or common sense. Moody was the lead character in TV show Californication, as played by David Duchovny.
An original character profile as part of one of our character creation contests. Ex-gangbanger in Toronto turned into a sullen dragon man working for the police.
One of the small video game guides we occasionally do as a change of pace. Hopefully they catch new readers, eh ?
My early notes about soloing an Iksar necromancer and wood elf druid in old-school Everquest 1. Mostly for you nostalgic types wanting a taste of the old thing again.
A semi-obscure subterranean Marvel Comics bad guy. He’s easy to use and comes with some interesting, if niche, lore.
Everything that you are so blatantly craving to know about the DC Heroes tabletop role-playing game (and the Blood of Heroes RPG). Right here, old chum.
An indestructible, very powerful robot master weapon judged too dangerous to exist. Clashed with the Silver Surfer and with Ms. Marvel (and others, but that’ll be in a later profile because the character changed).
From our Halloween of 2015 character creation contest. Mad mystical scientist obsessed with “improving” the human form through any mean necessary.
A short article explaining the unique benefits that writeups.org character profiles offer because they are written by tabletop role-players (rather than, say, mutant hitmen or killer androids).
The Syonide who clashed multiple times with the Outsiders. Manhuntress with speciality weapons.
A Black Lightning villain during the late 1970s. Expert manhunter with special weapons and probable mind control powers.
An obscure, odd Golden Age Wonder Woman encounter. A crazy goblin with an axe and an obsession about Pocahontas.
Bronze medal winner (ex-aequo) winner of our Halloween, 2015 character creation contest. Cheap horror movie-themed super-villainess with magic powers.
A summary of the various “Cheetah” characters with writeups.org profiles in order to help confused readers who wonder who’s who.
It’s not that there’s that many of them, but it’s better to have a quick explanation, I say.
The version of the Black Canary seen both solo and with the JSA during the Golden Age (in her case, 1948-1951) at DC Comics. This is an emergent history profile.
The very first version of the Black Canary, as a crook, as published during the late 1940s in Johnny Thunder stories.
A sample draenei shaman in World of Warcraft. Beyond being a sample fleshed-out adventurer with DC Heroes RPG stats, the article comes with a short but complete known history of the Draenei, and a primer about shamanism in WoW.
From our Halloween of 2015 character creation event. A young modern knight with some magic weapons, and a rather bad if distant familial background.
The very first take on Spider-Woman (not yet called Jessica Drew), by Goodwin. It’s rather different from what she later become, as the retcons start by her very next appearance.
A key member of the Strike Force team, from the landmark Champions RPG supplement Strike Force. This book was where many of us learned to run proper super-hero campaigns. Enhanced martial artist and intrusion expert.
An obscure, vintage Batman character – a quasi-superhuman circus strongman seen once in 1964. Or are you cats too square to dig those fab threads ?
One of the characters created for our Halloween of 2015 contest. International adventurer with various magical artefacts and decades-long ties to a city lost in dreams.
One of the characters from our Halloween of 2015 character creation event. Paranoid paranormal investigator with various magic weapons, but little idea about how to use them.
A C-list enemy of the Avengers, handy to use. This is our first profile for this guy, covering 1966 to the Spring of 1977 (at which point he acquires actual powers). Surprisingly enough, he’s armed with lasers.
This profile was updated with M&M stats.
The main villainous (though he’s not always a villain) speedster in the Marvel Universe. He’s no Flash, but he can still be a problem.
This entry has now been updated with M&M game stats.
From the first season of the 1970s sci-fi show Space 1999, which was cool. Dr. Russell is the Severe But Caring Space M.D..
This entry has been updated with M&M stats.
From the first season of the 1970s sci-fi show Space 1999, which was cool. Commander Koenig is the Serious Man Of Stark Willpower Who’s In Charge.
