Anabasis-5

(Destiny video games)

A window into the Destiny "epic sci-fi" video game universe, using a sample character. Though in this article the emphasis is on the universe. So if you want to learn about stuff such as the Worm Gods, the Sword Logic, the Traveller's Ghosts, the Last City, the European Dead Zone, the Rasputin Warmind, the Infinite Forest, etc. it's all in...

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.

Callsign Hammerfall

A short-ish profile of the Khora warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. A strange huntress with a mysterious backstory, a killer cybercat and a magic barbed chain.

Inaros-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Inaros warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. Endurance/durability unit with an undead Ancient Egyptian warrior theme and a backstory. And a smile.

Corvus the Heretic

Corvus is the protagonist of 1994 video game Heretic (some of the sequels are called Hexen). He's a post-apocalyptic elf avenger who shoots magic at monsters.

Captain Axis

An obscure and fleeting enemy of the Hulk. Projected Third Reich superhuman warrior with great strength. As of February of 2020, this profile had its hair done and received goosestepping M&M stats.

Trinity-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Trinity warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. Support unit with defensive and buffing energy manipulation powers.

Katriel

One sharp spy and assassin (or "bard", as they say in Orlais). She appears in the Dragon Age prequel novel, The Stolen Throne. Katriel played a critical role in the Fereldan War of Liberation... and, in a way, beyond. As of February of 2020, added a section about Dragon Age: The Calling.

Clem the rogue Grineer

(Warframe)

A goofy super-soldier in the Warframe video game universe. He's beloved by much of Warframe’s humongous player base.

Dino

A strange, feline-like species of heavily engineered war beasts and predators in the Warframe video game. They're like psionic space super-panthers, I guess.

Alex Rogan

(The Last Starfighter)

Alex Rogan is the hero of The Last Starfighter. This sci-fi 1984 movie was an important precursor in using a lot of CGI to depict out-of-this-world action. Such as, in this case, space battles.

Oberon-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Oberon warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. A versatile fighter, curiously themed after a sort of magic-casting priest of earth and fire. And he looks great -half the reason we have warframe profiles is because I love how they look weird and cool.

Titania-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Titania warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. The one and only gun fairy can also deploy stranger glammer-like abilities on the battlefield.
