So we were discussing future gaming tonight, and latched on to the idea of a D&D tropetastic version of a high school hijinks movie, complete with Valley Elves, the mysterious hooded janitor, and Vice Principal Acererak. Here, then, are some characters for the notion, statted out in Over the Edge because, really.
Barney Fiddleroot
Sneaky Practical Joker 4 (An endless supply of rubber spiders and joy buzzers)
Halfling Tallfellow 3 (A halfling, about 6" taller than usual)
Drama Club Understudy 3 (Soulful eyes)
Scrawny -1 (Not much there, even by halfling standards)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Reason for Being An Outcast: Too tall for the halflings, too short for the humans, and too overdramatic about it for the dwarves.
Quote: "You don't know what it's like, being different! It's enough to make you puke! *flops fake vomit on floor*"
Sybill Tyrasorinis
Thunder Mage 4 (Hair permanently poofed out)
Track and Field Runner 3 (Wears spikes all the time)
Secret Bombshell 3 (Take off the glasses and she even makes the hair work)
Bad Carouser -1 (Can't resist a drink, can't handle it either)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Reason for Being an Outcast: Shortsighted and short-tempered, doubly so after she's had a few.
Quote: "I'm so sorry! He really looked like a bad guy!"
Mark "Entropinius" Glimmerlily
Big Man on Campus 4 (Confident swagger)
Former Paladin and Student Council President 3 (Perfect teeth and hair)
"Dark Lord Entropinius" 3 (Wears a black cape with spiked epaulets)
Emotionally Fragile -1 (Flinches when insulted)
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Reason for Being An Outcast: Trying really hard. Mark decided he was an anti-paladin after Costneth Leitengiad turned him down for a date, and has finally managed to get most of his old friends to stop hanging out with him (though they still greet him with a bellowed "LILYPAD!", which he hates).
Quote: "For soon all shall kneel before my awesome dark powe- Ow! Frigging cape!"
Andrew Soltarian-Rosenberg
Cleric of Primus 4 (Polypolygonal holy symbol)
Alchemistry Whiz 3 (Clothes splattered with fluids)
Half-elf 3 (Ears kind of pointy, manner somewhat arrogant)
Socially inept -1 (Stares at his shoes)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Reason for Being an Outcast: Worshipping the perfect order of the modrons is just weird.
Quote: "Uh, I don't think that's the, uh, optimal solution."
Jesse Brugtarg
Orcish Berzerker 4 (Slashed-up clothing)
Sensitive Bad Boy 3 (Lovingly crafted pompadour)
Speed Demon 3 (Sweet wagon)
Don't Know Much -1 (Snaps his fingers when stumped)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Reason for Being an Outcast: Orcs, ew!
Quote: "People is people, and sometimes that's just too bad."
Sherman Firsil
My Parents Own The Magic Shop 4 (Spiffy duds and nifty gadgets)
Performance Bard 3 (Hums intentionally tuneless songs)
Streetsmart 3 (Constantly smells of really good pipeweed)
Perpetually High -1 (Constantly smells of really good pipeweed)
Alignment: True Neutral
Reason for Being an Outcast: Grade-A wasteoid.
Quote: "You know, most people don't really get my work, but I can tell you're different."
