Dismiss6027 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 sort of evil Plastic Man. Fought Spider-Girl.
One of the 1980s Hellions, with bad luck and good luck psionic disks.
A particularly straightforward jobber and Wrecking Crew member. Super-strength, enlarged hands.
Domino during the early 2000s, back when she was chiefly associated with X-Force. Guns, agility, luck powers, mercenary experience, etc.
Old notes about this professional heavy with Marvel Comics’ Wrecking Crew.
A goddess of the winds, more or less. Obscure Marvel character.
The vampire gunfighter assassin heroine of the first Underworld movie (2003), played by Kate Beckinsale. So that’s alright.
One of the major Mass Effect characters. She appears primarily in the novels, though the mission she appears in in Mass Effect 3 is remarkably designed.
First chapter of our Rocket Raccoon profile, so this is the “classic” version chiefly seen during the 1980s.
Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell)’s daughter, born well after his death (it’s complicated). Young would-be legacy cosmic heroine in the early stages of her career. This profile stops as she becomes Quasar.
A tough henchman type who only appeared once, but is sort of fun and certainly is useful to have.
Nuklon of Infinity, Inc. as he appeared during the 1980s.
Big profile that covers Jessica during the original Alias Marvel Comics MAX series, when she was a washed out, depressive private investigator.
An old curmudgeon who can turn into a dragon man. He fought Spider-Girl several times.
The badass mentor figure in the Mass Effect video games, novels, etc.
One of the more notable enemies of Wonder Woman during the Gail Simone run. Tragic Amazon warrior who was briefly Queen of Themyscira though she didn’t want to.
Possibly an innocent demon child, and apparently a creature of living shadows that eats evil and corruption.
From the webcomic Digger.
A young and crazy nun and martial artist in a strange heroic fantasy setting – the webcomic Digger.
Mysterious space-warping abilities, fire powers, plenty of a lotta guns, orb shields, crazy laugh, sexy body markings… Lilith as it all. This profile also comes with our main Borderlands setting notes.
One of the playable characters in the original Borderlands video game. Rogue soldier and assault specialist with a robot-turret.
One of the Player Characters in the first Borderlands video game. Superhumanly strong and tough berserker giant mutant.
The sniper/hunter/falconer in the original Borderlands video game.
From Ursula Vernon’s great Digger heroic fantasy web comic. Sapient wombat who is sort of like a dwarf, but way cooler.
Cassandra Peterson’s cult character Elvira, as she was featured in 1988 comedy Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. This is where we go bust, boys.
An heroic-fantasy adventurer and pirate who happens to be a shrew.
*This* Starman profile is about Will Payton, the one who appeared in his own book in 1988. Star-themed powers.
A young, arrogant, manipulative swamp witch who’s one of the most famous characters in the Dragon Age video games saga.
Organisation profile for this eccentric police force, as seen in Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels.
A Mexican super-wrestler who faced the forces of Hell in colourful video game Guacamelee.
