I will however ask that no one makes an magic based charecter. IE a Druid, wizard or cleric. As that will be hard to translate over.

So, here we go...

Appearance: 5’8” 125lbs,
Personality: Gustavo was a nice kid until he joined the program. The genetic engineering that was used on him has a rare side effect which makes the victim emotionally dull. Now essentially sociopathic, he doesn't care what others think or feel. Often mocking, sarcastic, and more than a little cruel, he doesn't usually do it to be funny, but others sometimes see it as such.
History: Forgery genius, he was contracted by the government on account of his impressive intelligence. When he started the program, he was given genetic modifiers to increase his physical capacity. His phenomenal mental capacity and professional training, along with his knack for forging documents and lack of emotion, has made him one of the best assassins in the program.


I assumed common was english…Yeah? And as for translations, you know the weapons much better than I do. Leather armor might be equated to the bulletproof suits of today, which stop bullets, but still cause bruising and such. Thieves tools could maybe be some kind of security hacking device, fine clothes could just be a business suit, signet ring could maybe be a document of some kind, or maybe a card with a chip, the climbers kit...maybe something like a spider suit? As for the stuff in the pack, I've know clue for the ball bearings, but I have a few other ideas...string could just be wire, bell could be a buzzer, candle could just be a mini flashlight, crowbar...a small polymer tool that starts small and expands? Hammer could stay the same, heck you could keep all of it the same if you want. Pitons could be heavy-cut suction cups, hooded lantern could be an all-directional lamp of some kind, like a glowing orb, flask of oil probably doesn't need to change, tinderbox could be a lighter, rope could be a strong but thin wire.

Just suggestions, do as you please.

leather armor I'm saying will be like bikers armor or possibly leather armor from fallout.

Short bow= SMG of your choice
Short short could mean bayonet. but will retain properties of a short sword.
daggers= knives
Thieves tools= hacking device
Ball bearing could be a claymore
string= copper wire or chicken wire (your choice)
Candle = flare
Crowbar
Hammer
Piton= gloves and boots that can grip on most surfaces.
Lateran + oil = flashlight + battery packs
tinder box = lighter
signet ring = a false ID
you are right with fine clothing


Born in 2034
I can make a timeline of events that would have shaped his life.

Confused about how ball bearings become a claymore...but everything else looks good. You can make a timeline if you want, as the DM you might want to get into this universe as much as possible, but I don't mind writing it up.

well a claymore is and explosive trap filled with metal ball bearings. so if you take it apart, then you have ball bearings.

Really? That's cool, yeah I'll go for that.

Also you get a free SCARAB and 10 mm pistol. Also where is your person born? Add that to history, because location matters.

He needs to be from east of the Mississippi, correct? I was thinking that he was maybe originally born in Texas, but fled to Louisiana with the invasion. South eastern tip, so as still to be in the free zone.

Sure that makes sense. I'm just asking because there is alot of terrorism in California and surrounding states in his lifetime. Also the occupation happens in February,2049 so you can be where ever before then. but you should try to be close to the river by then

• Deflect Missiles: Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.

• Stunning Strike: Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent’s body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn.
• Stunning Strike: Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent’s body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn.
• Way of The Open Hand Technique: Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your enemy’s ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:
•It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked Prone.
•It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
•It can’t take reactions until the end of your next turn.

What is his history?

Austin wrote: "What is his history?"

I was hoping you would help with that. He's an MMA fighter. That's all I've got. He's also a jerk, due to his low charisma.

ok I'll make a topic for us to make his backstory and translated equipment.

I made it, post your character there.

I don't think I missed anything? Let me know if anything needs to be altered, I kind of took some liberties with his history.

Appearance: 5’0”, short and stocky, very dark skin, bald, and prefers to stay clean shaven.
Personality: A bit reserved, Dimi doesn’t talk with strangers hardly ever. He doesn’t dislike people, he just doesn’t have a knack for social interaction. If approached, he will talk, joke, and laugh, but will be more reactive than anything else. Amongst those he knows well, he is kind, but still a little on the quiet side. He is a fierce fighter and loves the feel of being useful, especially when he can take the fire for someone else.
History: Standing at 5 foot nothing, Dimi is a small indoneisian man who immigrated to England and joined their armed forces to pay the bills. He worked hard as a regular soldier, earning respect from those around him, but never getting very high in the commanding aspect. The American government asked for some soldiers from England to assist in their operation, which is how he became involved in this project.

When did he immigrate to england?

I hadn’t set that yet. When were you thinking?

Preferibly any time before the outbreak of the war. post his charecter on his topic and we can translate his things.
