Theme Song: Piano Black from Cowboy Bebop
I've made a thread like this prior. This is more just musing on what our characters would be/are like if they were in the fantasy world. For intents and purposes, I'll use D&D 4e, but if you wanna join in and use an earlier or... later version, shoot for it.
Jonathan Winters:
- Race: Human
- Class: Ranger/Bard - Beast Mastery or Archer Fighting Style
Reason(s): As a German, it makes sense that he's Human (whether or not he's actually racist or Aryan, for the slant he often goes for, it makes senes that he has a strange pride for being among the commonfolk). Bards are leaders who records things, and "Unfettered" has been amongst those who has taken in a lot of 259's history, 552 history, and wherever he can hear stories from. Humans and Bards naturally both relying on Charisma... the Ranger standpoint may be stranger, but it plays on the fact that he is indeed an oppurtunist as well, and isn't opposed to less honorable tactics. His Ranger status is also a nod at his previous incarnation---namely that of a sniper.
"Teal":
- Race: Doppleganger
- Class: Undecided
Reason(s): Hm, indeed.
Vespyr:
- Race: Revenant (Eladrin)
- Class: Rogue - Brutal Scoundrel
Reason(s): So Eladrin (Gray/High Elves) are otherworldly and can do nifty things like teleport and the like. That's a thing. And Vespyr appears to be very much out of this world, and yet not. A transitory soul... But on souls, it'd then make sense that she's a Revenant. I considered maybe a Vryloka or even a Shade... but Revenants are those who are literally DEAD. And in D&D... even when they drop below 0 HP, they can choose to remain standing and can choose to be dazed (and make saving checks against it, aside from death saving throws). Stabilize them, and we have a pretty broken race, known for not permanently dying off easily.
Vincent:
- Race: Revenant (Eladrin)
- Class: Rogue - Cunning Sneak
Reason(s): Cunning Sneak? Actually... yes. Double-hand crossbows, shooting off two shots on a critical, making stealth checks whenever he just walks around... and the build having room for being tactically minded? Yes, actually. Now, much like Vespyr, it makes sense that he's Revenant. However, racially speaking... they might even be more akin to albino Drow, which would actually make more sense, since Drow have white hair and are a race of naturally sneaky/assassin-like people. Albino eliminates the whole issue of being "black" since the issue with the Qi is that they become more pale and dead-like as it goes on. If we were optimizing, he would be a Drow, but if we're staying true to the character, Vespyr is Eladrin and Vincent is her twin brother, so it has to make sense.
Mitsuki Park:
- Race: Half-Elf
- Class: Undecided, Maybe Bard/Hybrid
Reason(s): Mitsuki Park's original Qi has always been about using the abilities of others, being a copycat, learning. For those who know of 4e Half-Elves, the dilettante Racial feature is one of the biggest clue-ins to this adaptive part of her nature. Take into account that Half-Elves are seemingly natural leaders (whether they want to be or no, evidentally), and at the very least, I'm sure Half-Elf makes a lot of sense. Also, the whole Asian/Elven/Intelligence tie-in...
Leon Sudeki:
- Race: Dragonborn
- Class: Sorceror - Dragon Magic (Lightning)
Reason(s): I think this is fairly self-explanatory. And even then, as a sorcerer, spewing lightning, being perfectly melee-capable... the only other option I'd see would him being a fighter, which probably would make more sense. But the older that Leon gets, and the more of his Qi that we see, I can at least envision his entire clan being a large mix-up of Sorcerers, Fighters, and Warlords. Well, that or he's a Genasi Fighter. I'll revisit this.
