This is a bit more of an obscure one, so I'll give a clue. This is from a book series that has been over for a while, representing a character as he appears early in the series.


All attributes pretty good, with IQ being lower but still above average

Advantages:
Allies
Wild Talent (Retention, Only skills he could reasonably have already learned)
Xeno-Omnilingual (Cosmic, universal translator) + Language Talent

Disadvantages:
Cowardice
Duty (Extremely Hazardous, Constantly)
Mundane Background
Social Stigma (Minor)

Skills:
Sports (Basketball)
Bump/extra hints:

Quirk-level Guilt Complex
Record-Keeper (quirk)

And the Allies are his uncle and his two best friends.

I don't think I know that one, but since it's been a long time, I thought I'd post another. A rather obscure one, I'm not sure this meets the original half the forum rule, but I suspect some of you will know: can anyone tell me who this group of characters are? (I did them because I was bored.)

Warp (through power lines or phone network)
Electric Attack (12d6, Alternative Attack on the above)
Pacifism (Reluctant Killer)g
Addiction (cannabis)

Super Luck
Serendipity
Detect (other powered individuals)
Addiction (cannabis)

Doesn't Sleep
Diplomacy
Cultural Unfamiliarity

Ritual Magery
Thaumatology
Path of Adjectives
Speech Impediment (also in writing)

To narrow it down somewhat: they're not from anything professionally published, but from a popular Internet thing.

My daughter thinks these are the creepypasta characters of: BEN Drowned, ?, Jeff The Killer, and Ticci Toby.

Hmm, no they're not, I haven't encountered those before. Good try though!

(Just read "Ben Drowned" and rather wished I hadn't... partly because of the appalling writing. I see what your daughter means, that first powerset almost could be the creature from that, couldn't it? But I wouldn't have pegged it as a Reluctant Killer, and it's hard to imagine how a computer entity would manage to smoke pot :-D )

Corvo Attano, yes.

His skills are up to the player to decide, so the progression tree may vary from game to game.
