[Original Character]Katherine Sharpe

Hullo, folks,

As promised, here is the first character that I sat down and created using the new game. Enjoy. Comments and thoughts welcome.

KATHERINE SHARPE

Born in the late 1960's, Katherine Sharpe was a girl who grew up in the Boston suburbs, and never really had a good idea of what she wanted to do with her life. Early in life, she showed a remarkable keenness and adeptness with all things technical, and then came the age of the computer. Kate jumped into it for all she was worth, becoming a pretty good programmer and an expert at mediaeval reconstructions. Her interest in all things mediaeval led her to join the Society for Creative Anachronisms, and she has since taken great joy in the physicality of swordsmanship and the like. She first encountered the Time Lord known as the Traveller when her work for a small company called Mondas Enterprises involved her with the Cybermen. Taken with the enigmatic strangers tales of other worlds and times, Kate decided to accompany him on her voyage after dealing with the Cybermen, and has been with him ever since.

Kate is very much a private person in many respects, but she opens up with those she considers friends, and shows a side of herself that few get to see to those who share her interests. Not outgoing by any means, Kate is fearless and sometimes gets involved in things that are over her head. She is quite bright, animated about things he is interested in and excited about, but has learned to be somewhat cautious in her travels with the Time Lord.

Very nice, johnK. Katherine Sharpe seems like a character I would have created with the old FASA rules.

Thanks for the kind words. I think that Katherine is the kind of Classic Who companion that I really like, and wanted to see if I could create her for the DW: AiTaS game. She worked out really nicely, to be honest, and was pretty much a breeze to create.

Hi john, nice work she really does have that clasic feel, and would fit right in with the show.

Hullo, Mike,

Thanks, mate. For the karma, too!

Now, we'll see what the folks think of Ice Warriors. Going up in about 10 minutes.

Ohhhh, can't wait to see your Ice Warriors conversion!

Hullo, folks,

Since the subject has come up on my blog, I decided to post the very first character I did up for DW: AiTaS on my blog, as a sample of Character Generation. You can see the blog post in its entirety on my blog here:
