(BW:R) Burning Farscape - Leviathon...

[The Dragon Master]

Concept: This is a Leviathon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_%28Farscape%29) like the ones from the TV show Farscape. The game will take place in a world similar to that, but without the characters from it.This will be a GM controlled character, and the ship at that, so I don't think most of the details will matter. However, I have included those which do seem like they would have an impact on the game.

Character Name:

Stats:
Pe:3
Wi:B2
Ag:B1
Sp:B8
Po:W10
Fo:W10

Attributes:
Re: B4
He: B7
MW:W16

Traits: Leviathan Stature, Starburst

Beliefs:
- If I am taken by the Peacekeepers again, I will be enslaved. I will do whatever I can to avoid that.
- All life is sacred, I will not let any being come to harm.
-

Instincts:
- Prepare for Starburst at the first sign of danger.
-
-



This is what I have so far. I am still learning how to write beliefs, and haven't quite figured this characters out yet. If there are any tips/suggestions/blatantly obvious things that I've missed/etc. let me know.

As I recall, Leviathans are completely peaceful. I think you need a belief or trait to reflect that.

[stormsweeper]

I think to some extent you don't need a full burn for a Leviathan. List a few traits/notes about it and be done with it.
In the canon material there's what, three of them (not counting the mass at the graveyard)? And one was Talynn, and only half counts. :D

[The Dragon Master]

Stormsweeper: That's what I figured since he is mostly just their transport. I just wanted to make sure that I had everything covered that might be tested during play... though I do appreciate the confirmation.

Verrain: Doesn't the instinct to run at the first sign of danger kind of encompass that? If not, what might you suggest?

[Verrain]

A belief along the lines of, All Life is Sacred, I will not let any being come to harm was what I was thinking of. Running at the first sign of danger is simply acknowledging that you suck at combat.

[The Dragon Master]

You know, I had been trying to work one in with the effect that belief has(the ship insisting on allowing some recently found vagabond take shelter with them even if the crew didn't trust them, due to not wanting to see it destroyed), but just couldn't quite get it figured out. I'd be hesitant to add too many beliefs to it though (at least until I get a few of the PC's nailed down).

[The Dragon Master]

Just adjusted the character to work within the MonBu. Before I had used the ALFB (I had gotten as far as Stature in the MonBu and figured that it wouldn't work, Thank You stormsweeper for the quick lesson in Monster Burning and Shades)
