Lucky Lou Lemans

Post by High Command »

Lucky is an odd fellow. He's led a charmed life - lucky one might say, but he likes to remind folks that not all luck is good and being acknowledged by the universe as lucky isn't precisely a blessing. Still he's an inspiring guy for all he does. He is all about helping others, and they most often help him.

1: Fortune Favors the Bold: Your hero begins with the Brave Edge (or Elan if he already has Brave). He also begins each session with one additional Benny.
2: Live, Die, Live Again: Your hero is a survivor. Begin with the Fast Healer Edge, gain a free reroll on the Death & Defeat Table, and halve all recovery times from the table

3: Spiritual and Determined: Add one die to Spirit and begin with Strong Willed.
4: Gregarious and Resourceful: Begin with the Charismatic and I Know a Guy Edges
5: Charmingly Fluent: Begin with the Linguist Edge. Gain +1 Persuasion with native speakers of a language foreign to your hero, and Reactions begin two steps higher.
6: Wealthy and Connected: Begins with the Rich and Connections Edges.
7: Vigorous and Tough: Add one die to Vigor and begin with the Nerves of Steel Edge.
8: A Strong Suit of Armor: Your hero may choose any one suit of Body Armor and one of the modifiers listed on the Body Armor table in the Hero’s Journey section.

2d8: 1 + 2
4d20: 17 + 2 + 15 + 7
2d4*500: (4 + 4) * 500 = 4000
4d6*100: (6 + 1 + 6 + 5) * 100 = 1800

Trade the starting Armor for the Overcoat with a+1 toughness and +2 armor result from Body Armor; costs 24,000 for repair purposes

HJ 1: Ranged (17): Trademark Weapon
HJ 2: Training (2): +1 Skill Points in Athletics and +2 in Shooting
HJ 3: Training (15): Battle Edge: Dodge
Experience and Wisdom (7): Danger Sense

Rich: Ranged Weapons (applies to NG-45; 9) This weapon is extra deadly, granting a +1 to all damage rolls made with it.
Rich: Cybernetics (16): Supposed to get Hand-to-Hand Reaction Wiring, instead gets Cyber-wired reflexes (+1 DT to Agility)

Seasoned Male Human, MARS Vagabond, and Professional Gambler

Iconic Framework: MARS Vagabond
Background
Lucky has led a charmed life, but he likes to remind folks that not all luck is good and being acknowledged by the universe as lucky isn't precisely a blessing. Still he's an inspiring guy for all he does. He is all about helping others, and they most often help him. Like the time he went to the chop shop to get a headjack and got talked into getting Cyber-Wired Reflexes, but then managed to gamble back the money from the ower a few months later, effectively getting it for free. Or the time he got a Northern Gun armor to hook him up with a custom armored jacket and matching NG-45 after commenting on his. He paid for it, but honestly the performance of the coat and pants were closer to Huntsman Armor than the normal Streetwolf fare, so it works, and he got a slightly overcharged NG-45 that hits just a bit harder than normal. Then there was that time he traded a ton of debt for a gunslinger to show him some tricks with his new toy and how to not be hit in a fight - how to actually roll effectively, how to duck and use cover. All in all, very worth writing off 100,000 in debts. He's always had an sense of when things are about to get bad - he calls it his Gambler's Intuition.

He's originally from Fort El Dorado, but was in Ishpeming during the Juicer Uprising, and has travelled back down to his home region. He's not happy with the change to the Coalition government, but aside from losing some d-bee friends he had before he left, old timers he didn't expect to see gone, including the Quick Flex gunslinger who'd taught him so much. He'd gotten into debt and someone from the Torres Family has offered him a role in a heist to wipe his debt clean. The amount of money has convinced him to do this.
