Hannibal Van Zant FP 1 / 1 | Stress [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] | Consequences [2] [4] [6] Hannnibal stood in the elevator clenching and unclenching his fists. The leather of his gloves creaking under the pressure. He looked at The Watcher lounging and rolled his shoulders cracking his neck. He hopped on his toes lifting his heels and getting his blood flowing limbering up for the inevitable action to come. He then whispered an entreaty to the Ubër Kahn, the Alpha, a primal entity his patron. He called out across the veil, “Uber Kahn, your vessel seeks your power. The strength, instincts, senses, and skills of the Alpha. The predator of predators. Lend me power for this hunt.” Hannibal took a carved saber toothed skull he wore on a leather thong around his neck. He’d carved the totem from a piece of hardwood not long ago. He held it in his hand as he spoke the words, and then he pricked his thumb with a small pocket knife and smeared the drop of blood onto the totem, “With this blood I call to you, I invite you to the hunt.” As he finished his prayer the elevator door opened and the Watcher leapt forth monologging. He felt his veins burn and his eyes bulge, his nostrils flaring as his body welcomed the Uber Kahn and his senses opened up and his body swelled with power. A sharp toothed smile crossed his face as he leapt from the elevator to loom behind the watcher his muscles twitching and any with the gift seeing his aura flare in the shape of a great turquoise saber toothed tiger. His shadow altered to reflect this even for those with only mundane senses. .

Gonna do a roll for a CAA summoning the Aura of the Ubër Kahn

Name | Hannibal Van Zant High Concept | Mystic Muscle For Hire Trouble | Predator Instincts Aspect III | Avatar of the Uber Kahn Aspect IV | Tougher Than Nails Aspect V | International Man of Mystery Pitch A got on this tangent about pulp heroes and that made me think of the phantom. The guy in the purple tights who summoned the abilities of an animal to aid in his battles against injustice… so I want to do that but cooler. Hannibal Van Zant is the epitome of adventurer. He’s a mercenary with a heart of gold who just so happens to be the living avatar of the primal embodiment of predators known as the Predator King. After a late night multi day vision quest with a modern day shaman Hannibal was met with a god. The Predator king is this big saber tooth tiger bear man spirit thing and Hannibal uses his chi to summon the essence of the predator king and lend his actions strength beyond mortal means.

Alright so spitballing stunts time Goals for the mechanics • Strong, Fast, Tough • some sort of stunt empowering a totem summoning CAA with Chi, a bonus to creating, an extra invoke, or some other benefit to add weight to this action that is meant to be routine for the character: • possibly the berserk stunt, it just seems to feel right here. • boosted effectiveness with physique vs barriers / doing strong stuff • some sort of arcane thing • primal senses • some sort of movement bonus / pounce • some sort of offensive or defensive success with style effect triggering stunt to represent a two fisted strong guy fighting style He is the tough big smiling adventurer who would have been a great famous hunter a hundred years ago but now he’s a mercenary and adventurer. He channels the power and spiritual form of a predatory godlike entity. It gives him pulp level captain America level physicality I think he can see or smell something weird about the supernatural? just spitballing goals and ideas. I think I’ll drop a refresh on stunts and have 4 ( 5 if I can’t fit all the vibes in lol ) I’d love to kick around ideas but if not I’ll have a first pass up by tomorrow.

Sam had been in a mood and it had kept him quiet and chewin his thoughts something fierce and by the time he realized he’d been rude to his fellow marshals he was already minutes into picking his nails in public, and in the presence of the fairer sex no less. Sam had lived a hard long dark life and paid his tithe to the reaper in advance but he’d worked long and hard and found his faith to pull himself out of a dark place. That salvation didn’t mean he was passed that darkness though. It just meant the stars guided him through it. He was no longer lost. That didn’t mean he didn’t have to sit and stew in it sometimes though. Couldn’t be helped. Sam shook his head wiped his folding knife on his pant leg and slid it into his pocket before taking his gauntlets from his belt and pulling them taunt the leather creaking. He reached behind his breast plate and into a breast pocket retrieving a toothpick which he rolled between his fingers as he rolled over the predicament as presented. He straightened a bit and tucked the toothpick into his mouth as he cleared his throat a bit and spoke his voice momentarily hoarse before loosening to normalcy as he talked, “As per usual the lovely Luce has quite the handle on our current situation. And a good tactical acumen as well if I might add. However I will add that reconnaissance and intelligence will win a fight before it’s fought so advise we get to doing us a bit of scouting as our friend Marshal has suggested. Though once we know what there is to know then I do agree with Luce. We set the scene and we take the shot, cut the head from the snake. We just can’t do it blind. Not with the numbers this deviant could bring to bear.”

Yeah dude spitballing random characters and generating images for them has become one of my favorite ADHD style past times lolol. I just threw the skills together out of memory ( I remembered the addition of chi but not the will lol), I will adjust accordingly when I do the full profile. I don’t know why I figured cartoon mesmerism / hypnotism wouldn’t count but I absolutely can see that it could so no argument there at all. I assumed the brain in a jar was too much lol but I mentioned it so I figured I’d throw it out there. Yeah absolutely Jack Spade needs a lot right now I just have a picture of a mariachi suit, domino mask, and big revolver having guy who has these flashy showman vibes. I made one of his aspects hand of glory to be metaphorical about how he can get through locks / out of tight situations but him actually having a mummified hand of glory hidden beneath his glove could be cool as well… not sure. Now, Hannibal Van Zant is the real reason I m here I fixated on the idea of this dude for a whole day lolol. I went from a normal two fisted adventurer to a were tiger to this more avatar like version. I intended the insatiable prey drive to be how high drive dogs act. If people act aggressively, surprise him, or run, it triggers a predatory urge in him. Like when people act like prey it makes him act like a predator. It doesn’t act logically, it’s not berserk, it’s the urge to hunt and chase, to ambush and stalk. We could make the Predator King thing anything you’d like sir. I was just throwing out generic but cool stuff since this guy is meant for a scene. I do like the idea of Kahn or Tsar. love to flesh him out, or either of them honestly if you’d like but if not I’ll chose here soon and flesh one of them out.

Threw a thread up with some absurd ideas… lol

If all of these are too weird I will submit a pretty reasonable gun bro if you however think these are rad…. Please help me chose which one you’d like to see in this play test.

Right right lol So no Frankensteins as a bruiser or brains in jars as masterminds? lol. id love to throw in. I’ll get some ideas together and see what you’d like.

I’ll take the AC & the Weapon Damage as well I think. sorry for the absence had a health thing and it was dumb lol.

Hey boss do you have any more setting info? Like you have chi and everything I’ve seen implies a kind of pulp version of modern day like if the Brendan Frazier mummy movies were set now. Is this right? Just want to make sure I’m on the same page before thinking of anything.

Sam’s mask lowered and around his neck he rubs the scruff on his chin and pulls the astrolabe from beneath his shirt. With it in hand he closed his eyes. “We got lucky judge, that’s all. Easy as that. Now me. Personally, I’m with Luce. She’s made some good choices. Now I may be personally motivated but I do belief we start with the top dog on the list and bag us a blasphemer. What ya’ll think?

I have no more to add I think we have a good palette

Yes: Highly advanced alien intelligences within the zones
