Hellboy Characters

Bandii · 03-17-2006, 05:11 PM

As I was cleaning up and archiving things from my computer, I ran across a set of characetrs I had created for a Hellboy game a friend of mine ran at a convention a few years back. They're in 3e format, but then, so's the hellboy RPG. My friend is a huge geek and a few of the characters are direct homages to various characters from other miliue's.

Zang Yan attended the prestigious Peking Opera when he was a boy and trained diligently for many years; mastering dancing, martial arts, weaponry, singing, comedy and drama. In the 1970's he left the opera and attempted to break into the world of Hong Kong action features as a stuntman. His wild style and humorous escapades quickly propelled him to star status. His movie credits are as long as his arm and his reputation as good natured and resilient make him a favorite even in America's Hollywood. He married longtime sweetheart Julianne Chow in 1982 and the two lived in Hong Kong until the island returned to China in 1999 when they moved to Canada. It was only two years ago when Zang learned of the curse his family had labored under for untold generations, a curse which promised the soul of his unborn child to the Kings of the Underworld and threatened to destroy all he loved and had worked for. His attempts to engage Taoist sorcerers to break the curse eventually led him to the attention of the BPRD; a deal was struck whereby they would help him lift his family's curse in exchange for his martial arts prowess and celebrity presence.

Lourdes Villanueva Constanza was born in Manila and immigrated to Los Angeles with her mother, uncle and four brothers when she was five. She led a simple life in a fairly poor neighborhood until she started having the nightmares in her late junior high class. The nightmares were horrible visions of an Earth devoid of human life; ruled by monsters and bathed in blood. Above all she could hear and remember the name chanted by throatless voices: "Anuung Un Rama". BPRD specialists came to believe that Lourdes was a precognitive; sensing some unspecified future events. With training she was able to gain more control and to marginalize the nightmares. She still has them, but they are fewer and less intense now; fading as her other powers continue to grow. She returned to the BPRD after a brief stint as a professional fortune teller in Hollywood; preferring the life the BPRD offered to the money of vapid Hollywood pretty boys and glamour girls.

Angelina Howe was a normal, unexceptional high school student in Lawrence, Kansas until she turned fourteen and a half; that's when her grandfather's legacy as a survivor of the infamous Philadelphia Experiment came to light and Angelina discovered she could walk through walls; uncontrollably. Her power terrified her and was not without some unpleasant after effects; when she's "In The Green" everything takes on an eerie, unreal green glow and she becomes aware of "other presences", what these are remain a mystery to the BPRD. She also creates odd electrical effects and she herself takes on a hazy, insubstantial appearance; like a glowing green ghost. Her parents turned to the BPRD to help them cure their daughter; especially in light of her growing dread that every time she's "In The Green" she feels an increasing sense of nameless dread and terror that the scientists cannot explain. She has recently begun accompanying the field team on low level missions as something of a field technical specialist.

Gaspar de Leon was raised in his family's immense retreat in the Pyrenees, where he was tutored in the duties and roles of a true son of the Merovingian bloodline; the Bloodline of the Christ. Gaspar was told that someday he would come to rule over not just France, but the entirety of Europe. Or he would have, had a shadowy group of killers; bearing the eye in the pyramid brand of the Illuminati not attacked and murdered everyone in Chateau de Leon; everyone except Gaspar, who survived miraculously due to the seemingly miraculous powers he had never before suspected. He fled the scene of the attack and made his way to the United States, where Professor Ivan Frankel of the BPRD; a longtime correspondent of Gaspar's put him in touch with the BPRD; who, in exchange for Gaspar's donation of a sizeable portion of his family fortune to the BPRD's Research Division, agreed to devote some of their resources to uncovering the identities of his family's murderers. In the meantime, Gaspar enjoys life in the United States; partying with the rich and famous and continuing his education. The BPRD, however, is highly interested in the results of tests performed on Gaspar's "holy" blood; which points toward some unusual, and possibly extraterrestrial, origins.

Hans Kleiser was a captain in the German KSK Special Forces Unit. In 1997 he and thirty other members of his platoon parachuted into Argentina to investigate rumors of Nazi renegades still operating in the jungles there. They were woefully unprepared for the forces of Project Ragnarok as embodied by Professor Von Klimpt and his colleagues. Captured and subjected to unimaginable tortures; Hans was transformed into a mockery of human life; a walking corpse preserved by Nazi super science into an engine of destruction capable of spreading a terrible wasting destruction wherever he went. He was the only survivor of a BPRD raid on the facility in 1998; damage from the battle resulted in his re awakening and treatment by counselors and scientists at the BPRD are helping to re acclimatize him to humanity. He remains on active reserve with the KSK and is a full time member of the BPRD's field team. His memories are shallow and lack depth, and his physiology precludes prolonged contact with other human beings. Hans has corresponded with his wife and three daughters, but has not yet allowed them to see what he has become.

Herbert Norwich (pronounced "nor rich" was the eldest son of a decaying upper crust English family. He joined the Reformed Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in college on a lark and quickly found that magic could be real, intoxicating and beneficial to his sex life. He found he had a talent for it and soon became enmeshed in the inner circle of the order; quickly outstripping even the most accomplished academic in the set. Tragedy struck when a Great Working went awry, summoning an unbound demon lord whose terrible wrath shattered the minds, bodies and souls of everyone involved...except Herbert. His defenses protected him from the demon's full wrath, but he found himself under an unbreakable curse. From then on, wherever he went he brought bizarre happenings, Fortean events and doom on all those he cared about. His father died of a sudden fit of apoplexy, his mother hung herself, his younger brother was butchered in Desert Storm and all his friends, lovers and associates met gruesome and bizarre ends as well. Herbert became an outcast, exiling himself from human companionship by affecting an abrasive, uncouth and generally fiendish persona, all the while pouring over books of mysterious lore in the hopes of ridding himself of his curse. He has consulted for the BPRD and its agents on and off for years, but finally accepted Kate Corrigan's offer to join the bureau full time as its only practicing magician, partly because he still craves human company and partly because he hopes the BPRD's greater resources will allow him to find the answer he seeks.

Equipment BPRD Second Chance Standard Vest (PD 2/1, DR 14/2; 2½ lbs.; $200; Note: Includes load bearing pouches and attachment points). Zang Yan attended the prestigious Peking Opera when he was a boy and trained diligently for many years; mastering dancing, martial arts, weaponry, singing, comedy and drama. In the 1970's he left the opera and attempted to break into the world of Hong Kong action features as a stuntman. His wild style and humorous escapades quickly propelled him to star status. His movie credits are as long as his arm and his reputation as good natured and resilient make him a favorite even in America's Hollywood. He married longtime sweetheart Julianne Chow in 1982 and the two lived in Hong Kong until the island returned to China in 1999 when they moved to Canada. It was only two years ago when Zang learned of the curse his family had labored under for untold generations, a curse which promised the soul of his unborn child to the Kings of the Underworld and threatened to destroy all he loved and had worked for. His attempts to engage Taoist sorcerers to break the curse eventually led him to the attention of the BPRD; a deal was struck whereby they would help him lift his family's curse in exchange for his martial arts prowess and celebrity presence. __________________ Michael R.

Lourdes Villanueva Constanza was born in Manila and immigrated to Los Angeles with her mother, uncle and four brothers when she was five. She led a simple life in a fairly poor neighborhood until she started having the nightmares in her late junior high class. The nightmares were horrible visions of an Earth devoid of human life; ruled by monsters and bathed in blood. Above all she could hear and remember the name chanted by throatless voices: "Anuung Un Rama". BPRD specialists came to believe that Lourdes was a precognitive; sensing some unspecified future events. With training she was able to gain more control and to marginalize the nightmares. She still has them, but they are fewer and less intense now; fading as her other powers continue to grow. She returned to the BPRD after a brief stint as a professional fortune teller in Hollywood; preferring the life the BPRD offered to the money of vapid Hollywood pretty boys and glamour girls. __________________ Michael R.

Equipment BPRD Second Chance Standard Vest (PD 2/1, DR 14/2; 2½ lbs.; $200; Note: Includes load bearing pouches and attachment points); Generic Possession; Hardened Laptop Computer (4 lbs.; $5,000). Angelina Howe was a normal, unexceptional high school student in Lawrence, Kansas until she turned fourteen and a half; that's when her grandfather's legacy as a survivor of the infamous Philadelphia Experiment came to light and Angelina discovered she could walk through walls; uncontrollably. Her power terrified her and was not without some unpleasant after effects; when she's "In The Green" everything takes on an eerie, unreal green glow and she becomes aware of "other presences", what these are remain a mystery to the BPRD. She also creates odd electrical effects and she herself takes on a hazy, insubstantial appearance; like a glowing green ghost. Her parents turned to the BPRD to help them cure their daughter; especially in light of her growing dread that every time she's "In The Green" she feels an increasing sense of nameless dread and terror that the scientists cannot explain. She has recently begun accompanying the field team on low level missions as something of a field technical specialist. __________________ Michael R.

Gaspar de Leon was raised in his family's immense retreat in the Pyrenees, where he was tutored in the duties and roles of a true son of the Merovingian bloodline; the Bloodline of the Christ. Gaspar was told that someday he would come to rule over not just France, but the entirety of Europe. Or he would have, had a shadowy group of killers; bearing the eye in the pyramid brand of the Illuminati not attacked and murdered everyone in Chateau de Leon; everyone except Gaspar, who survived miraculously due to the seemingly miraculous powers he had never before suspected. He fled the scene of the attack and made his way to the United States, where Professor Ivan Frankel of the BPRD; a longtime correspondent of Gaspar's put him in touch with the BPRD; who, in exchange for Gaspar's donation of a sizeable portion of his family fortune to the BPRD's Research Division, agreed to devote some of their resources to uncovering the identities of his family's murderers. In the meantime, Gaspar enjoys life in the United States; partying with the rich and famous and continuing his education. The BPRD, however, is highly interested in the results of tests performed on Gaspar's "holy" blood; which points toward some unusual, and possibly extraterrestrial, origins. __________________ Michael R.

Hans Kleiser was a captain in the German KSK Special Forces Unit. In 1997 he and thirty other members of his platoon parachuted into Argentina to investigate rumors of Nazi renegades still operating in the jungles there. They were woefully unprepared for the forces of Project Ragnarok as embodied by Professor Von Klimpt and his colleagues. Captured and subjected to unimaginable tortures; Hans was transformed into a mockery of human life; a walking corpse preserved by Nazi super science into an engine of destruction capable of spreading a terrible wasting destruction wherever he went. He was the only survivor of a BPRD raid on the facility in 1998; damage from the battle resulted in his re awakening and treatment by counselors and scientists at the BPRD are helping to re acclimatize him to humanity. He remains on active reserve with the KSK and is a full time member of the BPRD's field team. His memories are shallow and lack depth, and his physiology precludes prolonged contact with other human beings. Hans has corresponded with his wife and three daughters, but has not yet allowed them to see what he has become. __________________ Michael R.

Herbert Norwich (pronounced "nor rich" was the eldest son of a decaying upper crust English family. He joined the Reformed Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in college on a lark and quickly found that magic could be real, intoxicating and beneficial to his sex life. He found he had a talent for it and soon became enmeshed in the inner circle of the order; quickly outstripping even the most accomplished academic in the set. Tragedy struck when a Great Working went awry, summoning an unbound demon lord whose terrible wrath shattered the minds, bodies and souls of everyone involved...except Herbert. His defenses protected him from the demon's full wrath, but he found himself under an unbreakable curse. From then on, wherever he went he brought bizarre happenings, Fortean events and doom on all those he cared about. His father died of a sudden fit of apoplexy, his mother hung herself, his younger brother was butchered in Desert Storm and all his friends, lovers and associates met gruesome and bizarre ends as well. Herbert became an outcast, exiling himself from human companionship by affecting an abrasive, uncouth and generally fiendish persona, all the while pouring over books of mysterious lore in the hopes of ridding himself of his curse. He has consulted for the BPRD and its agents on and off for years, but finally accepted Kate Corrigan's offer to join the bureau full time as its only practicing magician, partly because he still craves human company and partly because he hopes the BPRD's greater resources will allow him to find the answer he seeks. __________________ Michael R.
