Balrog a.k.a. Vega
(Tom's profile)
One of the classic Street Fighter video games baddies. Super-acrobatic Spanish sociopath with claw weapons.
As of January of 2021, this embarrassingly old text has received extensive edits and a small update.
Claw the Unconquered
(Valcan of Pytharia) (Part 1)
A rather big and muscled profile for a barbarian warrior of the same ilk, who's appeared in his own series and beyond over the decades.
This is one of our DC Implosion writeups.
As of December of 2020, this enormous entry was split into manageable parts. And received a round of rewriting, since it was rather old.
Delphyne Gorgon
A young and redoubtable Amazon and Gorgon officer. She's cool, in more ways than one.
Delphyne primarily appeared in Marvel's Hercules and Amadeus Cho stories.
And yes, she looks awesome.
Warden Duncan
A killer, urchin and hardened thief dragged into an unpopular army of paladin commandos.
Duncan is a pivotal character in Dragon Age: Origins, though most of his material is in the The Calling prequel novel.
Queen Femina Suarestellar Baroux
The space misandrist enemy of Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah, by golly !
Who was a goofy, not-highbrow parody of Filipina national super-heroine Darna.
This entry previously had to be altered due to US online advertising standards. So we restored it, and did its hair while we were at it. If there are problems again I'll just ditch the ads, as happens increasingly...
Starfire
(DC Implosion) (part #1 - Setting)
This profile is about the sword-and-sciencery (new word !) heroine Starfire, back in 1976.
Only a young woman’s sword and her courage will challenge the inhuman hordes who would enslave her people !
As of September of 2020, this profile was split in two for more comfortable reading. And went through extensive edits for style, being almost 10-year old.
Warden-Ensigns Julien & Nicolas
A couple of elite Grey Warden fighters, specialised as shock heavy infantry.
They appear in David Gaider's Dragon Age: The Calling prequel novel.
Steel 8162
(Shonin Ikeda)
From Marvel Comics UK's old Dragon's Claws comics.
Far future samurai strongman.
As of August of 2020, this profile has received its folded-over-a-thousand-times-on-the-forge Mutants & Masterminds stats.
Hawk the Slayer
The protagonist of 1980s heroic fantasy schlock movie Hawk the Slayer.
And his magic sword, obvs.
Grey Warden Utha
An elite Grey Warden who's also a mute kung fu Dwarf paladin.
Utha appears in David Gaider's Dragon Age: The Callin prequel novel (and in a game DLC).
Warden Commander Genevieve
Genevieve, Commander of the Grey, is one of the main characters in the Dragon Age prequel novel The Calling, by David Gaider.
Formidable but harrowed fighter with a big-arse sword, nerves of steel and a unhealthy intensity.
Mercy 8162
(Mercy Connaught)
A deadly vigilante and athlete from a dying Earth broken down future.
They were the best team in the Game... but this is not a game anymore !
As of July of 2020, this profile had its hair styled, and received M&M stats.
Damasque / Masquerouge
(Baroness Ariane de Troil) (part #1)
Ariane de Troïl aka Damasque/Masquerouge is the heroine of a classic series of French swashbuckling graphic novels, halfway between the Three Musketeers, the Count of Monte Cristo and Zorro.
As of May of 2019, this profile was cleft in twain. It didn't feel that long to read, but with so many folks perusing this site on smartphones smaller pages are...
Loghain Mac Tir
(Part #1 - The Stolen Throne).
Loghain Mac Tir is one of the major characters in Dragon Age: Origins. He's unusually interesting as video game antagonists go.
This first profile covers his early life and the Fereldan war of independence, as chronicled in the The Stolen Throne prequel novel.
Rowan Theirin of Ferelden
(Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne)
This character profile covers Queen Rowan as she appears in the Dragon Age prequel novel The Stolen Throne, by David Gaider.
Rowan played an important role in the Fereldan war of liberation, which she fought in for almost her entire life. Hail to the Queen, baby.
Maric Theirin of Ferelden
(Part #1 - Son of the Rebel Queen)
Here begins a multi-parts profile of the King of Ferelden in Dragon Age stories (primarily the prequel novels, The Stolen Throne and The Calling).
Which means it also covers the Fereldan war of independence, the Theirin dynasty, the runup to the Fifth Blight and other important backstory bits.
Marius the magekiller
Marus the Magekiller (spoiler - he kills mages) is one of the two co-protagonists in the Dragon Age: Magekiller (spoiler - it's in the Dragon Age universe) comic books by Greg Rucka.
Altered, magic-resistant combat monster.
Xena, warrior princess
(Part #1)
Our larger, more modern writeup for the great and mighty Xena during her 1990s action/adventure TV series.
From bloodthirsty ancient warlord (well, warlady) to epic fantasy heroine for good!
As of May of 2018, this profile was cleft into three parts through careful use of a chakram. Because it may have been a tiny bit long, yeah.
Ser Aaron Hawthorne of Ferelden
From a comic book series in the Dragon Age low fantasy setting. A veteran knight of Ferelden who isn't entirely what he seems.
Owen’s Formation Raiders
(Might and Magic X Legacy sample party) (Part #1)
First part of an exploration of the setting and storyline of the old-school Might and Magic X - Legacy computer role-playing game.
It features a made-up, but spooky/eerie adventuring party to make things less abstract.
Shining Knight
(Ystina / Justina) (part #1)
The version of the Shining Knight seen in Grant Morisson's fabulous Seven Soldiers of Victory meta-series. A mighty knight lass from a mystical age of man, wielding Excalibur.
The profile also comes with rather interesting material about the ancient history of DC's New Earth.
As of April, 2017 this profile has had an overhaul, and received a squire in the form...
Death’s Head
(Paxton Page)
Radioactive horseman, fought Daredevil in 1969.
As of March of 2018, this profile was entirely overhauled, and received irradiated M&M stats.
Mardirossian, the Devil’s Executioner
(Grim Dawn) (Part #1 - Setting)
The first part of an extensive sample character profile in the world of the Grim Dawn post-apocalyptic, steampunk action-adventure computer RPG.
This part is chiefly about the world - technology, types of magic, atmosphere, known history, the recent zombie apocalypse, etc.
Klustre Taschen the Sith knight
(Star Wars: The Old Republic)
A sample character from Star Wars: the Old Republic.
Female Zabrak knight of the Sith, who'd much rather be getting drunk and partying with hot dudes.
Tu Pai Kohini
(Path of Exile sample marauder)
This article is primarily about the setting for the Path of Exile video game, with pictures and stuff.
It also presents a basic Karui marauder, which is sort of like a magically-powered Māori Conan.
Sabra Shulvu, the Silent Knight
Continuing our arc about sample Star Wars: the Old Republic Player Character, now with the Jedi Knight "class".
She's a mute refugee and para-autistic Miraluka swordfighting prodigy ! He's an old astromech droid working as a suave spy of sorts ! Together, they fight the Dark Side !
