Writeups.org

This is the second half of our Man-Ape (M’Baku) character profile, with a link to the first half.

As of February of 2019 this profile was overhauled. It was also cleft, since the explanations about all the Wakanda stuff made it a bit long.

Winston Croft

Comics DC Universe Golden Age Stuff

A master detective in Los Angeles, who has worked for the Global Frequency semi-covert organisation.

With him around, a CSI episode would last about 8 minutes.

Man in the iron mask

An obscure 1947 enemy of the Batman. Gangster-with-a-gimmick type.

Pallas

Bete Noire (Fallen Angel) Comics Other Universes

A minor super-mercenary with a strong Fourth World vibe, who’s allegedly a god. Seen in Gail Simone’s The Movement.

Part of a convenient team of minor super-mercs.

Sachs

Aggressive urban vigilante with dangerous melee skills and an oversexed attitude.

As of February of 2019, this profile received HD pictures, another round of polishing – and lurid, sticky M&M stats.

Donations call and situation report — February, 2019

It’s time for the first of our thrice-yearly calls for donation for 2019 !

As always, this call doubles as a summary of what’s been happening on writeups.org (and why) since the previous call.

Star-Spangled Kid

Comics DC Universe

This is DC Comics’ Courtney Whitmore, the future Stargirl, during her early career as the Star-Spangled Kid. It’s a “Year One” sort of writeup.

As of February of 2019, it has been polished a little bit more and received brazen, aggressive, irresponsible M&M stats.

Mister Grushko

One of Miranda Zero’s specialists in Warren Ellis’ great comics series Global Frequency.

His specialities seem to be intimidation and carnage. Разве это не мило ?

Monster Baby

Adventure/RPG games Specific movie universes Star Wars Star Wars: The Old Republic Video Games

A member of the Graveyard Faction, a minor group of super-mercenaries in the DC Universe. They fought The Movement.

Melee combat expert with some super-strength.

“Jaevna Shilo” the Republic trooper

A sample, but atypical, Special Forces trooper of the Galactic Republic during Star Wars’s Old Republic era and from the SWTOR video game. Comes with historical context primers, particularly about the military.

As of February of 2019, this profile was revised for style and concision, M&M-ified, and split in two to make certain it’s not too long to read in one sitting.

“Jaevna Shilo” the Republic trooper

Adventure/RPG games Specific movie universes Star Wars Star Wars: The Old Republic Video Games

This is the second half for our sample, fleshed out Old Republic Special Operations Trooper in what is now the Star Wars Legends continuity. With a link to part #1.

This pair of profiles is also the one with the primer about the Old Republic era, useful for many of our Star Wars profiles.

Shawn Berger

Cartoon and Anime

A corrupt energy tycoon and ally to the Decepticons. He appeared in the 1980s heydays of the Transformers cartoon.

Doctor Barbara “Bobbi” Morse

This is where our chronological series of profiles for Mockingbird (Dr. Barbara “Bobbi” Morse) starts.

So, her early 1970s Ka-Zar (lord of the jungle !) material with the bright red rompers. At this point she’s not Mockingbird yet.

Pusher

An obscure 1970s enemy of Ka-Zar… lord of the Hidden Jungle !

Also a robust martial artist with some A.I.M. access and Harlem mob contacts, which sounded useful.

Jia Lau

The Chinese intelligence hitwoman seen in Global Frequency story “Detonation”

A particularly determined lady with a big shotgun, quick reflexes and on the Frequency.

Arson

Comics Golden Age Stuff Marvel Universe Proto-Marvel Universe (Atlas, Timely)

A bland minor bad guy who can belch a sort of napalm. But he’s part of a convenient group of low-powered mercenaries, and that’s useful.

Master Mind Excello

Obscure 1940 proto-Marvel super-hero. All-knowing and nigh-invincible defender of America.

As of January of 2019, this profile received excellent M&M stats and was mindfully remastered.

Big Wheel tactical intrusion team

From Warren Ellis’ Global Frequency story “Big Wheel”, an elite ad-hoc commando tasked with an unenviable and desperate task.

Neat example of high-end operatives with specialised skills and some near-future technology.

Anguish

Brawling games SoulCalibur Video Games

The leader of the Graveyard Faction, a convenient quartet of generally low-powered super-mercenaries.

Telekinetic control over barbed wire.

Ivy

One of the most famous characters in the Soul Calibur fighting video games. Magical whip-sword, martial arts, alchemy.

As of January of 2019, this profile was rewritten, updated, upgraded. Generally, we’ve made it more well-rounded.

Carina Nekhjevani

Shooting games Video Games

A made-up heroic fantasy character, inspired by minor Heretic/Hexen-like video game Ziggurat.

Young legless alchemist with a thousand grudges, and a magical arsenal. As the song goes, odds are she won’t live to see tomorrow.

Mrs. Gradenko

Comics DC Universe

A strange werebear, and a Russian special operative. Seen in Suicide Squad.

As of January of 2019, this profile has been overhauled and got overbearing M&M stats.

Warframe video game strategy & guide

Video game guide Video Games Warframe

One of ’em video game guides we occasionally do during our breaks. Warframe has a reputation for being hard to learn and… yeah, it’s not unearned.

So here’s a “what I wish I knew when I started” space guide.
