Hero's Journey Results

Posting separately 'cause I'm new here and not sure if editing original post changes die results.

Close Combat Weapons adds a Vibro-Sword to Zima's gear (Str+d10, Ap 4, Mega-Damage)

Education adds Knowledge (History) d8, and gives +2 on all Common Knowledge rolls.

Experience and Wisdom adds the Strong Willed Edge and +2 to Common Knowledge rolls related to Geography, people, and places in North America, as well as +2 to Survival and Streetwise in North America.

Finally, Training adds a Wild Card Edge, regardless of requirement: in this case Dead Shot seems the most sensible choice.

Background

Tatiana volunteered young to Regiment 588 at sixteen in 1941. She learned to fly a plane and spent the next two years of her life training and flying quietly across the line to attack key German positions. She became known for a relentless (if often grim) optimism and a determination to complete the mission. She was beginning to think she might just survive the war when an intense storm came up on the way back from a successful mission. She fought to control her plane through the turbulent winds, constant lightning, and flashes of images that were frankly terrifying.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, she wasn’t able to maintain control of the plane, and suffered a crash-landing. When she emerged from the wreckage, she found herself at a loss. She was obviously no longer in Russia, but beyond that, she knew nothing. Her plane was all but destroyed, and she herself had suffered an injury in the crash. She bound her wound as best she could, gathered what could be carried from what was left of the fuselage, and set out in a random direction.


After encountering and escaping from creatures she had only heard of or seen in legends or nightmares, she found someone she recognized as a person. There was an initial period of distrust, of course, but she soon ingratiated herself with the local populace by her cheerful demeanor and willingness to help out. By simple curiosity and a certain mechanical aptitude, she found herself helping out with a grizzled old veteran with a large and powerful suit of powered armor, who had taken it on himself to protect the village. As she learned the history of her new home, she also learned about the heritage of the Glitter Boys and their legacy of heroism. She slowly picked up more and more aptitude with the suit and its systems and when her mentor decided it was time to retire, he passed his Glitter Boy on to her.


Tatiana eagerly took up the mantle that was passed to her--especially after having been told of the Coalition. (They deliberately took on Nazi imagery and iconography--how could she NOT see them as natural enemies?) The village was small and isolated, but the world is dangerous these days, so those who make the defense of the innocent their calling rarely go bored. Tatiana discovered this soon enough, to her dismay. One day, reports of a large and powerful demonic creature rampaging through the countryside prompted her to leave the village to deal with the situation. After taking nearly a week to chase the creature off and assure herself it wouldn’t return to the area, she made her way back to the village … only to find smoldering ruins.


After she recovered--twice now, had she lost her home--she set about investigating, though she found little. The Coalition is her prime suspect, but she has little to tie them to the destruction of her second home. In the meantime, she elected to find another people she could defend. After a few weeks’ search, she recognized that the defenders of Castle Refuge seemed a natural fit. Who knows? Some of her people may have even found their way here.

I am always interested how players acquire their GBs! Welcome to the boards.

Editing previous posts will not change die results. Good thing to worry about (I wondered as well), but if they did it would be awfully inconvenient for all of us. Feel free to edit it all together.

Let us know when you consider your initial character to be complete. I don't reverse engineer my players' characters, but admins might want to give it a once over for any errors.

I think I'm pretty much set--I might clean up some stuff, but I don't think there's any equipment or anything else I need to add. Super excited to get into it.

Everything looks good.
As you siad, it's probably good to tidy everything up, Savage Rifts character sheets have a lot going on! You can record all your HJ, Advances Etc. using this log as a reply to your sheet:
