Unrealized/ Abandoned Characters

Abandoned Characters

Graham P. "Grampy" Mudd: WWII tank driver captured by Reich psy-ops scientists. His presence in Althanas was a solipsistic jaunt whereby he didn't actually physically exist there (all that was really left of him was a brain in a jar on some scientists desk), but his projected consciousness manifested a physical body. Armed with a trenching shovel.

Cadmus: drow alchemist, concoction maker. Armed with an atlatl. Liked to cast 'heat metal' on enemies' equipment. Got boring.

Ashpool: Metaphysicist, occultist, and charlatan. Had a bit of a Jekyll/Hyde thing going on. Story arc was way too canned, in that he was actually investigating his own nighttime handiwork. Got boring with a capital B.

Some silly cyberpunkish speed-addled character whose name I completely forgot. Gigantic waste of time.


Unrealized Characters

These manifested in D&D games, because they were just too damned fun.

Dent: Malfunctioning 4e Warforged swordmage/artificer hybrid (if you know how hybrids work, this thing was a riot). He was an über-tank with middling defenses but insane HP potential. He wasn't incredibly 'sticky' as a tank, but he just refused to die. Originally a janitor, he was obsessive about filth, and when overwhelmed he would attempt to sanitize everything in arm's reach by incinerating it. Noted for a bright orange 'roadside worker' paint-job, and a dented-in head-plate. He once was lost in a dusty library. It ended poorly for the library. In his spare time, he mopped a lot.

Scratch: Malfunctioning 4e Warforged warlord/blackguard hybrid. Though a machine, he was a murderous religious zealot to Bane (evil god of war and conquest) who had to spend most of time trying to corral his incredibly stupid janitor brother. Notable for a tattered black cape, and a massive scratch across his "face." Couldn't speak, but had a printer installed and communicated in 1337-speak and obscenities akin to THIS.

Ragborn: Bugbear barbarian. Fully utilized the bugbear "oversized" feat and wielded weapons in the 'large' category. Impossibly simpleminded, his main interest was collecting skulls for a trophy room. Tended to only get natural 20's on intimidation checks. There was a running gag throughout the campaign where he kept showing up in local news for his intimidation exploits: roaring at a 5 year old elf for touching his teddy bear, scaring an 80 year old out of a fatal heart attack, and terrifying a gargantuan crab monster.
