Dismiss5849 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.
One of the main heroines in the Silver Age Sentinels RPG default setting. Strength- and prowess-enhancing armour, big glowing sword.
This profile is mostly about Lara’s capabilities and equipment in the 2013 rebooted game, once she starts getting into gear as a badass adventurer. It follows the first profile, which was more about her early life and the game’s early stages.
A vengeful mime who once clashed with Batman and Robin. Extremely minor character but she worked surprisingly well.

A profile for L’Enfant Noir in the classic 1950s French sci-fi/post-apocalyptic novel Niourk. I don’t think it was ever translated into English, so here’s your chance to know about it.
One of the lesser signature monsters from Fallout. They’re more or less undead mutant bears (or maybe not), and pretty damn dangerous if you ask me. Be careful.
An AWESOME profile and biography for Gaige and her robot Deathtrap that is, like, totally metal and has quotes and other badass stuff. Anarchy forever ! Smash the system !
The various kinds of bandits on Pandora in the first Borderlands video game (bruisers, psychos, midgets, badass specimens, etc.), their vehicles, their likely origins, etc.

This profile is for the 1937 Walt Disney cartoon version, which you might remember has super-powers.
One of our capsule profiles about a Big Jim toy. Yes, we actually have several of those. I’m surprised too, and I wrote them.
