The Culture: Going Solo Through The Rifts (Rolling A Man Pt.3)

(Following from yesterday's post.)

Let's start putting this man together.

Taking from the last two posts, we'll fill out the character sheet and get this man ready for action. We will now add additional bonuses from skills to our man's Attributes and adjust derivative scores accordingly. All bonuses that our man is entitled to will be accounted for and added together to get the final character sheet below.

This is going to be a long post, mostly of stats.

Background

Alexandros is the son of Apollo by a True Atlantean woman whose clan had long been associated with the god, and when the clan decided to call upon him to ask his guidance on what to do about their ancient homeworld he revealed the presence of both Vampires and the Splugorth to them.

Alexandros came about because Apollo bade them to come to battle, and in return he would give them a prince to lead them. Now grown and trained, with hidden aide from his father, he is ready to prove his worth by going forth to establish a beachhead from which the clan would wage war.

The clan's warriors are dispursed across the Megaverse, so he is to go forth alone and signal when he is ready.

His time learning at his elders' feet, as befitting a would-be warrior prince, prepared him as best they could for what lies ahead.

And what lies ahead is horror.

Commentary

I'll kit him out later, as he's practically ready to go as he is, but I will spend the next post spelling out what he can do so readers unfamiliar with Palladium can get an idea of just how superpowered this guy is- and how front-loaded Palladium tends to be. Oh, and I am not a fan of a supposed Ancient High Man race and culture looking like a bunch of outlaw biker poseurs and similar rejects; real world tattoo traditions are far cooler, far more aethetically pleasing, and (gasp!) are tied to warrior traditions that are right at home with all the Tattooed Man stuff. Use them!
