I have been to BL, I just haven't asked around there yet.

Judge me as you will, I give not the slightest of fucks.

Name: Old Man Henderson

Race: Human?

Age: 55

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 180 lbs

Appearance:



The combat boots have heelies, and he has a stuffed parrot on his shoulder called Rupert. He never takes the aviator shades off for any reason.

Strength: Human
Agility: Exceptional
Constitution: Human - Exceptional (Depending on how drunk he is)

Other Abilities:

Mental Resistance: Legendary (Called a Shoggoth "The UGLIEST fucking poodle EVER") Don't even try to screw with Henderson's mind. If you're lucky, you'll get high.

Ballistic skill(Shotgun): Supernatural (Proceeded to murder said Shoggoth, its summoner, and his companions without breaking a sweat)

Memorized the Anarchist's Cookbook. Stunt driver, ship builder, champion figure skater, hockey player, helicopter pilot, and golfer. Fluent in many languages. Luckiest man in history, bar none.

Equipment: Benelli M4 Semi-automatic Shotgun, as many shells as he needs, battered modified '92 Buick Century, extra pairs of aviators, a charred page of the Necronomicon (wrapped a blunt with it), and the occasional joint.

Acquired during his time in the Nexus:

  • Black Business Card (The Order): As repayment for saving two mortally wounded members of the Order from the wrath of Faust, Sakura Matou's Servant, Henderson and Mordred were given black business cards by the Order, unlike the usual white given to clients. While the white cards only have phone numbers, the black cards also have the address of the Order's Headquarters on them. In this way, the holder of one of these cards has the full resources of the Order at his disposal till the debt is paid.

Origin: The history of Old Man Henderson is lost in the sands of time, but he's got some facts concrete about him - he at some point in his life was a Thai prostitute and gangster, went to college for ship building, apparently competed at a national level in figure skating, hockey, and golf, is likely the father of/related to The Stig, at some point returned to the US on some man's junk, and at some point, acquired roughly 215 antique lawn gnomes as his retirement plan, estimated value of over 40K. He also blames all his life's problems on Vietnam, but was 12 in '74.  At some point though, his collection of Lawn Gnomes went missing (He sold them to a charity auction, got high, and forgot about it), and Henderson went on the warpath in search of them. The victims of said Warpath are as follows.

  • A Shoggoth, the cultist who summoned the Shoggoth, approximately ten more cultists, a professor who attempted to calm Henderson in the midst of his rampage, and the church this all took place in (burned to the ground). There was no evidence remaining that could be traced back to Old Man Henderson, as no one thought to take the plates of his Century in the ten minutes between him driving up to the church and him leaving said church.
  • An Avatar of Hastur that was in the process of binding himself to a Detective, the Detective, James Fink, a Tanker Truck (Which killed all three of the above directly, and everything below in the ensuing explosion, triggered by Henderson's parting gift of a 12 lb block of C4), another church, another group of cultists, and the gas station that the Tanker Truck had been refilling the holding tank of. No evidence, no witnesses.
  • A military helicopter (Got some damned good use out of it, though), an influential Cultist of Hastur who arrived on a Yacht to investigate the death of an Avatar of his god, the Yacht he came in on (By picking it up with said Heli and dropping it), a dinner party held by the local Cthulu Cult (By dropping said Yacht on the penthouse suite the party was in), and a bar in an unrelated incident. The heli was left hovering above the ruins of the dinner party while Henderson's party parachuted out.
  • Innumerable zombies/shoggoths during a minor apocalypse by use of explosive hockey pucks, culminating in summoning Hastur himself to the physical plane and taking advantage of the building having 'enough explosives wired to make Michal Bay blush' and the summoning sickness that Hastur was suffering from due to the summoning to permanently kill said Elder God.

Or maybe that last bit was a weed hallucination, he has no fucking idea. Maybe he's in a parallel reality or something, but honestly he doesn't know or care. He's probably forgotten whatever even brought him into the city. The trail of the missing gnomes has brought him into Nexus City, and no muckle damn cultist will stand between him and his wee men.

Weaknesses: General human weaknesses, excluding things that would drive normal men to insanity. Also weak to good weed, the munchies, high explosives, and has this itch to fly helicopters whenever he can. Tends to be forgetful while high.

Likes: Good weed, gnomes, Rupert, booze, his shotgun.

Dislikes: Cultists (gnome-stealing bastards), Hastur (The leader of a group of gnome-stealing bastards, and a buzzkill to boot), religion, cutlery, books.

Okay, that's the second time I've heard that term in the past 48 hours, so could you please explain the concept of 'Memeposting?'

Also, the fuck is IC?

3424
You're talking about the guys GW fed to the 'Nids. There have been rumors that this is how Cruddace shitted on the Nids, by feeding them squats until the Carnifexes became shit.

Side note: The meds be wearing off.

3425
The idea is they need to be way more fantasy than scifi. Want a tech priest/most sphess muhreens? nope nope nope. Doomrider was allowed because he was the incarnation of the 70s, had a flaming motorbike and a skull for a head.

Fair enough. That also explains /tg/'s portrayal of him.

Melee space wolves, black templars, maybe a captain if he promises to lose some of his gear, I'd approve. Some of the primarchs actually have more likelihood of approval from me they were literally demigods and were either magical(Magnus the nerd, Mortarion's weird lamp+scythe combo), batman or loved their melee (Russ suplex! Angron too, Jaghatai to a certain extent).

What about Angry Marines?

And what kind of gear are we talking about? The Teleport homers? The Iron Halos? The Storm Shields? Give me some examples to work with.

Would I be restricted to specific types of Marines (Devastator, Assault, Tactical, Veteran, Dreadnought)?

Quote
Tyranid genestealers I'd approve in a heartbeat, but there is a no alien rule.

Sphess elves eeeeehhhhhhh there is a no alien rule.

Tau nope.

To the first, unfortunate, though that would get real awkward, real fast.

To the second, no offense, but fuck the Eldar. I am not risking giving Slannesh a little brother/sister.

To the third...I ain't about that life.

Quote
Kayoss cultists also approved in a heartbeat. 40k demons would be cool too, since they're demons and not aliens. (yes this makes sense)

Tempting. Eliphas the inheritor? Honsou? Fabius Bile?

Quote
Guardsmen would be case by case.

Okay, here are the cases I put before you.

Commissar Yarrick, Creed, and Inquisitorial aide Psyker Alicia Boone.

Quote
Necrons nope. Play terminator instead.

No problems here, though Trayzyn the Infinite might have been fun.

Quote
Orks I'd love to say yes but no aliens :(

You dare deny me the chance to be Ghazgull Mag Thraka? Or Warboss Tuska the Daemonkilla?!

...Well, I'm going to have Old Man Henderson, unless Arch wants to do him again.

Quote
Squats would b

Squats?

One more thing. What about Imperial Assassins (Vindicaire, Eversor, Culexus, Callidus, and those other two that I can't remember right now)?

Not gonna ask about Custodes because they're kinda mini-primarchs.

3426
Arch-Magos should be able to answer this one, but would playing a Space Marine be a viable option, because the same spark that drove me to see if I could do Old Man Henderson is now driving me to see if playing a notable member of the Salamanders would be doable within the bounds of the RP.

Part of the inspiration was finding out that someone apparently went and did Doomrider in the first iteration.

3427
I mean, Nachos and Elf scrutinize the sheets before approval and give criticism if anything's wrong with them, but presenting good sheets to begin with is a step in the right direction.

Funny story: someone did in fact play Old Man Henderson in a previous iteration of Cross Effects.

That does it, I'm going to try an Old Man Henderson. Would be a nice change of pace from the other character I'm thinking about bringing in.

As soon as I am able, that is.

3428
Are we allowed to try our hand at an Old Man Henderson?

Sorry, this just popped into my head and it's going to keep bugging me until I get it out of my system.

3429
Franco brings up a good point. Is there a specific due date for character sheets?

3430
What does the jury say on one character having another soul aside from his own residing in his body, as a result of having the latter soul shoved into him?

Quick check. Who's rolling the d20?

I have no intention whatsoever of supporting any action that leads to Sakura's death. That doesn't mean I'm going to kill off the protagonist, but I can't imagine that any such choice is ever going to arise. It would not be a CYOA if it did.

*Shrug*

Quote
I like Sakura. She doesn't have to be worm-raped Sakura for me to like her.

...You do realize that that was the exact point I was trying to make, right?

3433

Umm, yes?

If I am playing a CYOA and the choice comes down to "Kill the girl and live" or "Let the protagonist die" then obviously she dies. You don't play a CYOA to kill off your protagonist. You take the hard rolls as they come.

I would like to point out that there might be exceptions (We're in the Nasuverse, there are exceptions to every rule).

However, as much as it pains me to say this, I would have to say agree. However, we will not have protags/protag candidates going out like punks. There will be last stands, tearful goodbyes, sheer epicness. At least, as much as can be had without breaking that ever-important Suspension of Disbelief.

By the way, this is my opinion regarding the death of any of these three, or any other major charaters, within this CYOA. If this was my general policy, there would be no way for me to enjoy Attack on Titan.

Lol, whiteknighting even Not!Sakura.

*Sarcasm mode* Bro, I have no clue what you're talking about. Just because we lack worms doesn't mean we can't have shrinking violet Sakura...

Seriously, though, there is more to her than the worm-rape. Enough for white-knighting? Debatable, but she has appeal all on her own. Don't make me give my take on the exact appeal. I don't want to risk starting a flame war before I've even hit 10 posts here.

To quote another member of the board, I don't want no trabble.

Not fanfics. And kotori is a stain.

Kotori?

I'm scared to ask.
