Has anyone completed, or does anyone feel up to
submitting, a 4E character write-up for Nausicaa, of
the eponymous film and manga? I only saw the film, so
I'm pretty sure I don't know her well enough to do it
myself.
Elements I saw off the top of my head:
Destiny (lead the world to salvation)
Only moderate DX. Mainly insane acrobatics skill. And
piloting skill. And some pretty decent sword. And a
tad bit o' mechanics (wind-mills). And even some
botany and geology (or whatever you use to study the
Sea of Decay). But really, just a lot of acrobatics.
And maybe some more DX.
Delusion (the Sea of Decay is a good thing!)
(remember, a delusion can be true!)
Dependent (Teto never really HELPED her, did he?)
Senses of duty all over the place. Friends, kingdom,
all living things! Seriously, this girl was hung-up!
Probably some kinds of pacifism, although I'm only
sure about Cannot Harm Innocents. Self-defense only
might hold up, too.
Rank and Ally Group to go with being a princess,
though the people helping her were kinda mookish...
Signature Gear for some kind of rediculously
uber-light jet glider. Gearheads, is that thing even
possible without contragrav?
Flashbacks (although these may have been all
insect-induced, or the product of unconsciousness)
Apparently some incredible level of charisma or other
transparent social powers, since pretty much everyone
she ever met at least liked her, if not tried to help
her outright.
I'd argue against reputation. For her subjects in the
Valley, I think everyone knew her personally anyways.
And outside of the Valley, no one knew her name, so it
doesn't count there either.
Fearlessness, since she apparently doesn't think twice
about leaping in front of a rushing horde of angry
insects the size of small office buildings. Or taking
a zipline from one plane to her glider at some
altitude above cloud level.
So there's my two-cents.
"Nemo Malus Felix" - No Peace For The Wicked
And shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
So feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands
So we will flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti
Angelix knows. You don't.
