No, it is not him\them (didn't read Death Gate).
(Sorry for being late by 3 months).

If people can revive the Game of Thrones thread after seven years, I can revive this one after eight months. Here's a pretty easy one that's been in my mind the past few days.

Attributes:
ST 12
DX 16
IQ 14
HT 14

Advantages:
Combat Reflexes
Hard to Kill
Language Talent
Very Fit

Disadvantages:
Enemy (Utterly formidable, 15-)

Skills:
Very high levels of Brawling, Judo, and Guns (Pistol)

There's a lot more I can put if necessary, but I'm trying to keep it simple and also not make it *too* easy.

Pretty sure I've got it. Needs some level of Driving, too.

And Motorcycle. And Horseback Riding. And a whole bunch of skills, but I was trying to keep it simple.

That rule hasn't been enforced since this thread was only a few years old. I have another idea bouncing in my head if necessary.

Correct! This specifically is John right between Chapters Two and Three. It's one of the few situations, real or fictional, I can think of that justifies Enemy (Utterly Formidable Group, 15-).

So, have you thought of someone after all or do you want me to post my second one?

Since it's been almost 12 hours, I'll take that as a no.

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)
