In light of the new Jason Bourne movie coming out next weekend, and because I haven't seen a Bourne thread on the boards in a while, I'm starting this thread to talk about one of my most favorite film characters of all time.
There have been plenty of threads that talk about Bourne's point totals and espionage skills, but what I'd like to focus on in this thread is solely his melee combat ability. More specifically, what skill levels, advantages, perks, and bought up techniques (combat related only) do you think would belong on Bourne's GURPS character sheet? I don't think you could do Bourne justice without using Martial Arts and Technical Grappling, but there may be some other books out there that have stuff you think would be critical to the Film Interpretation of the Jason Bourne character. Also, I'm not looking for details on his ballistic skills. Just his melee combat. I have a few ideas of what his skill levels and techniques would look like, but I really would like to know the thoughts of the rest of the community. Finally, please don't let this devolve into "real world agents don't fight like that" or "XYZ is unrealistic...". We all acknowledge that the Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum is a cinematic, not realistic character. Also, I've read the Ludlum books, and I'm not looking for an analysis of THAT Bourne, though it could be easily argued that the literary Bourne is even more bad-ass than the film Bourne. |
