Unfortunately art isn't mine but I look in the internet for inspiration in order to find something that match with the style of the campaign: I did a one-shot scenario inspired to the japanese Ryuutama rpg and I used a totally different character visual style. Maybe I'll post those character later...

Serena Winston

Another secondary character, that may be an opponent or an ally for the characters. She's a police agent but while she oppose the gangs she is not a follower of Mr. Gold, and she doesn't approved his ruthless methods. She's not a rookie, but neither an experienced policewoman.

Ok, it's a loooong time since I posted here, but we never stopped playing OVA (revised edition, of course), so here's something new:

The setting is vaguely inspired to Suda51 games (Killer7, Killer is Dead and so on) and features a cast of bizarre characters working for a mysterious woman, Lilith, that probably is a witch, a goddess or some other kind of supernatural creature. The story is set in a large city, where three factions are fighting: the Godsong Corporation, that controls the police, an alliance of criminal families, and a mysterious sect of occultists and assassins.

The first character is a former low-ranking criminal, that was forced to work for Lilith, after witnessing the death of his boss (that seems tried to double cross Lilith).

Code of Conduct 1 (honest)

Short-Tempered 2
Servitude 3 (Lilith, the Red Lady)

Defense: 5D
Attacks:

A normal unarmed attack, using punch or kicks

Flurry of punches - roll 6D, Damage x4 (open to attack, accurate, effective, overwhelming)
Johnny throws caution away and attacks a single target with a furious flurry of blows.

Desert Eagle - roll 5D, Damage x5 (weapon, ranged, ammunition, effective x2).
This heavy chromed handgun holds 10 bullets (Johnny never has a spare clip, because "a situation that needs more bullets is a situation that should be avoided")

James & Jordan Doe, psychic twins

Image

These two orphans are mystery: somebody believes that they are the sons of a psychic and a shamaness, others says that they are the same person coming from two separated dimensions. Nobody knows the truth, not even them, what is certain is that they possess some kind of power even if the are different: James is physically weak but possess different powers, probably inherited from both his parents (if the first theory is correct), while Jordan is a decent psychic but is physically stronger and acts as James' bodyguard.

Jordan has a good supply of small metal blades, similar to small throwing knives.


PS: yes, they are played by the same player. Notice how the combination of Frail+Languid and Endurance Reserve+Vigorous gives them exactly the same quantity of Health and Endurance.
By the way normally James does all the talking, while Jordan acts as a silent bodyguard.

Jake isn't as skilled as him but everyone believes that he is the legendary Ghost, while he's desperately trying to learn who he really is: a clone? A thief who got a plastic surgery?

Augustus DeVantery - Young inquisitor

This is a low-ranking member of the Inquisition, the first real enemy that Kasakuma had to fight: the young inquisitor was able to capture the demon just because he found him asleep. But later Kasakuma escaped and Augustut tried to capture him again. Augustus is the son of a nobleman, and despite being always surrounded by minions he's not a coward: he simply believes that victory comes first, no matter how he has to earn it. He fights with a sort of telescopic staff that had a taser built in.
