Maid To Be Heroes

Want to start a Maid RPG I tried before, then had to quit when I didn't have time. Schedule has changed, so I'm taking another swing at it.

Premise is based heavily on Batman Beyond: You are one of several maids working for Person X, a millionaire by day / vigilante by night who has had to retire due to the strain on his body. He now works to train his maids to also serve as Mega City's new crime-fighting heroes.

Using the Maid the RPG system; don't worry if you don't know it, the system is extremely easy and a Maid RPG generator is here:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/maidrpg.html

When generating a character: Set number of special traits to two. If you're not comfortable playing a female character, you can set number of traits to one and play with the additional trait 'actually a guy'.

Please only join if you expect to be able to post two or so times a week; I will try to check the thread at least one every two days and will probably be checking at least daily.

Post you character here. Please include a 'vigilante' name and several sentences at least describing your character.

Edit: I went ahead and rolled up a master character. Given the Evil Emperor and Magical powers, I went with a character based heavily on The Shadow. It should give you an idea what I'm looking for in a character description: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13879381060A34063900&page=1#1

Paranoia - The Most Fun You Can Have With Deadly Lasers!

This is just weird enough to pique my interest. Here's my generated character, will take a bit to come up with a backstory

• Name: Hermione Walters
• Vigilante Name: Night Maiden
• Age: 19
• Uniform: Cream colored
• Hair: Orange
• Eyes: Blue
• Physical Description: Frail and waifish looking with really pale skin and Cute Little Fangs which extend in combat or feeding because...
• Traits: Vampire and Shy

• Athletics: 3
• Affection: 4
• Skill: 2
• Cunning: 1

• Background: Nermione is a vampire born and the youngest of her family line. Since vampire competition is fierce she adopted the strategy of hiding herself, however when she does decide that she wants something she's very good at getting sympathy and getting her way. When she doesn't she tends to go in the opposite direction of usual personality, throwing a temper tantrum. Always knowing that she would never rise in the realm of darkness she decided to seek the way of service and become a maid. Because she feels herself weaker than she actually is she has learned to use a gun.

Neat. I had a lot of fun with this last time you ran it. If it's alright, I'd very much like to join up again.

Hmmm we're going to try this one again huh? Well I'd be willing to give it a go if it's alright. I check these games pretty frequently....so should I roll up someone new or see about recycling the old one?

Paranoia - The Most Fun You Can Have With Deadly Lasers!

Character: Celica

Vigilante Name: Nociel

Age: ??/"22"

Athletics: 3

Affection: 1

Skill: 2

Cunning: 0

Luck: 2

Will: 4

Uniform Color: metallic

Hair Color: beige

Eye Color: red

Maid Types: Heroine & Pure

Special Qualities: Angel/Devil, Glasses

Favored Attribute: Will

Maid Power: Hard Work

Maid Roots: Self Punishment

Maid Weapon: Summoning

Stress Explosion: Rampage

Background: Celica is an angel. From before the first shadows fell, she faithfully served her role; the role of one of the messengers of God. She never doubted, nor faltered in her faithfulness.

However, she also had... anger issues... Apparently an eternity of joy and happiness wasn't enough to keep *all* vices at bay. She was constantly lashing out at various bits of décor, and on one occasion somehow managed to bend the pearly gates into a pretzel. Needless to say, some new arrivals had some questions for management...

Forgiveness is a big thing in Heaven, and no matter what she did, it was never held against her. She even resolved to attend seminars and group therapy with angels who were having similar issues, and human souls who were having trouble adjusting to everlasting joy and happiness. None of it worked.

After a few millennium of trying conventional solutions, Celica decided to try something completely backwards. So, she got permission to go to Earth in mortal form and began working as a maid. The thinking was that if that didn't teach her patience and humility, nothing would. And all of the elder angels agreed that it 'couldn't hurt, right?'. And so began Celica's adventures as the crime fighting maid, Nociel! (She chose the name due to criticism that her real name wasn't 'angelly' enough.)

Description: Celica is tall and slender, holding herself with grace and dignity. Her beige hair is worn long and straight, kept in almost supernaturally impeccable order at all times. Her glorious pure white wings (which she makes no attempt to hide) and the odd, metallic sheen of her uniform give her an otherworldly look. In general, she makes no attempt to hide her celestial origins.

As Nociel, she dons knightly, fantastical armor adorned with red cloth and a golden mask which conceals the upper portion of her face. She is capable of summoning incarnations of her full celestial power which manifest as disembodied wings of pure, golden light. These incarnations are merely extensions of her metaphysical form, and can theoretically be damaged which would be much the same as damaging Celica/Nociel's mortal form. The incarnations typically attack by strafing enemies, though other techniques may be possible.

Fixed that. Also, are vampires made, born, or is it up to me? That's the main thing getting in the way of my writing a backstory.

Oh dear, I foresee problems between Hermione and her. Which as a player I'm cool with.

I always get curious when I see these around, I'd like to give it a shot if you'll have me.

Name: Anastasia 'Anakin' Lockheart
Vigilante Name: Lil' Cowboy/Girl
Gender: Female (sometimes) masquerading as Male
Age: 18

Athletics: 3
Affection: 4
Skill: 2
Cunning: 1
Luck: 4
Will: 0

Uniform: White
Hair: Yellow
Eye Color: Sky
Maid Types: Lolita and Boyish
Special Qualities: Pet (Trap?) and Easygoing
Favored Attribute: Luck
Maid Powers: Foreboding
Maid Roots: Distant Relative
Maid Weapon: Whip
Stress Explosion: Mischief

Background: A pretty young girl who grew up into a pretty young woman in a family related through several convoluted branches to the Bwaune family, who lived an easy if not rich life in the quiet countryside surrounding Mega City. It was the sort of idyllic life that breeds laziness and incompetence compared to what one would expect of the heroes of this world, but Anastasia possessed in her a natural potency of spirit and empathy that made her always seem like she was intended for more than her environment would allow, even when she was content to lie back and let life come at her, her peers noted that she was far more keen than her easygoing nature ever let on.

She began developing a sense of gender fluidity in her teen years, noting that she felt as comfortable expressing a very well developed boyish side as she did a girlishness. It was in her nature to be capable of acting as both, depending on her daily mood, and in her great amounts of free time she developed a talent for crossdressing to a fine honed point, capable of fooling everything short of thorough (and morally dubious) examinations. She was prepared to live a simple life on her farm, a naïve girl and boy in one, trained only with a whip to herd the cattle and horses...

Her family farm then promptly fell on hard times, and times became so difficult a sort of pseudo diaspora occurred, with the family members going their separate ways to seek greener pastures. Her immediate family moved into Mega City for work, and to ensure she would be provided for, calls were made and she was sent to a distant uncle needing servants... She works there now, known by master and staff for her laid-back yet still competent nature, being kind of a luck magnet, and constantly deciding she's a boy every other day. Or is 'he' a boy trying to be a girl? S/he is maddeningly vague about it, and good enough to make hir gender ambiguous to those s/he works with.

Physical: Anastasia is of average height for a girl, but her facial features are youthful, her eyes are large and expressive and her skin elastic and flawless, her brilliant blue eyes shining with youthful mischief. Her shoulder length sunny blonde hair is tied up into bushy twin pigtails further heightening the childishness of her appearance, her body is definitely lacking on the curves though not the point where it's not clear she isn't a girl. She doesn't even try to change her looks as a vigilante, relying more on her amazing luck to never be recognized in public (she always seems to have a bunch of people about the city who look just like her, as veritable decoys. As if her look is suddenly in fashion).

As Anakin 'he' is equally blasé about keeping a vigilante appearance separate from 'himself'. He becomes short for a boy by a few inches, with very pretty boy features in his face, a lack of manly chiseling and soft feminine features that toe the line between genders very well. The blonde hair is let free and left unkempt, making it look rougher and more boyish. Her curves vanish, and her body, while slender for a boy, is that of her newly assumed gender.

Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca

Daecion: You forgot the glasses, but otherwise Celica is approved as a character.

Tricksterson: Up to you. Yes, there may be a bit of friction between a vampire and an angel but that's why Eryc has really, really good home insurance. On the plus side, as an angel with little experience of the mortal world (and with a cunning of zero), it should be relatively easy for you to outsmart her.

Katsuun: Anastasia/Annakin approved. Possible RP note: 'Bwaune' might not be Eryc's true surname; it may be an alias he adopted. ((Eryc Bwaune being an anagram for Bruce Wayne)) If so, Annie may not be an actual blood relation. Or if she IS a blood relation, she may be one of only a few people who know Eryc's real name.

All three of you: Feel free to post your profiles at 'https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13879381060A34063900&page=1#3'. I'll open a new discussion thread when we actually start, to be kept separate from the stats thread.

Paranoia - The Most Fun You Can Have With Deadly Lasers!

Another question. I'll probably have a lot because I'm completely unfamiliar with this RPG. What does "Affection" count for? Is it equivalent to the role "Charisma" plays in most games?

Trump delenda est

Ah! I think that the previous version of this game was the first TV Tropes RPG I was ever in! I'll whip up a character shortly.

Exist, pursued by bear

Tricksterson: Copied the following from Maid the RPG PDF:

Athletics: Physical ability, combat ability

Affection: How good are you at forming bonds with your master and the other maids?

Skill: How good are you at your maid duties?

Cunning: How capable are you at tricking enemies and other maids, and deceiving the master?

Luck: Just how lucky are you?

Will: How positive and constructive is your thinking?

So yes, you can probably think of 'affection' as 'charisma'.

Karrin: Welcome to the RPG

Okay well I guess if it's cool I join in I'll just roll someone up then? I'll see about having that done later tonight.

Barzak: Yes, just make sure you include a vigilante name and at least a little back story.

Paranoia - The Most Fun You Can Have With Deadly Lasers!

Start will either be this weekend or next.

Paranoia - The Most Fun You Can Have With Deadly Lasers!

• Name: Liese
• Vigilante Name: Melusine
• Age: 16

• Uniform: Indigo
• Hair: Silver
• Eyes: Vermillion
• Traits: Shapeshifter (Snake), Absurd (Fairy)

• Maid Types: Pure and Heroine
• Athletics: 1
• Affection: 3
• Skill: 2
• Cunning: 0
• Luck: 1
• Will: 4
• Favored Attribute: Will
• Power: Persistence

• Roots: Orphan
• Stress Explosion: Sleeping
• Weapon: Magic
• Physical Description: Liese has three forms. In her first, she resembles a normal human, albeit one with long silver hair and red eyes. She is slim and short. Her second appears the same from the waist up, though she sprouts a large, white snake tail in place of her legs, and her eyes change so that the entire eye becomes red and her pupil becomes slit. In addition, her ears become pointed, a pair of birdlike fairy wings sprout from her back, her tongue becomes forked and long, and snake-like fangs sprout out of her mouth. When she becomes stressed, parts of her secondary form appear in her first, mostly the eyes, fangs, and tongue. Her third form is a large, silvery snake with red eyes, and fairy wings, though the wings are normally folded back, as they are rather sensitive.

As Melusine, she switches between these forms, but in her first and second wears a snake-like armored costume, complete with a snake-scale-esque mask (well, it looks like a skintight mask.)

• Background: Liese was originally a snake-fairy, who was captured by magical poachers shortly before the events of the RP. The poachers were found by the resident heroes a little while later trying to sell their wares, and Liese was found unconscious inside a refrigerated box (as a snake, cold naturally makes her sluggish and dazed.) She was then adopted as a ward/employee of the manor.

Okay let's see here had a bit of trouble coming up with a few details

Maid's Name: Karla

Vigilante Name: Necrona

Maid's Age: 19

Uniform Color: vermillion

Hair Color: sky blue

Eye Color: orange

Athletics: 2

Affection: 3

Skill: 4

Cunning: 2

Luck: 1

Will: 3

Maid Types: Cool & Pure Special Qualities: Piercings, Zombie/Mummy

Favored Attribute: Skill

Maid Power: Instant Cleaning (add +1 to skill for cleaning)

Maid Roots: Loyalty

Maid Weapon: Machinegun

Stress Explosion: Sleep

Physical Description: Generally fairly normal looking if a bit pale as long as she keeps herself well covered to hide the several bullet holes she's acquired both from her original death and the messier confrontations of her current vigilante job. Her hair is also always styled so that the sides of her face are covered. As Necrona she wears a black leather overcoat with spiked shoulders and a skull design on the back over an armored black bodysuit. She also has what most people think is a rather disturbing detailed mask of a skinless face (but actually her face is removable). She always wears several identical blue gem studded earrings in both ears, one of which is her power source (or at least that's what she tell everyone) Background: Like Eryc Karla is also an ex member of the League of Darkness, but her attempt at defecting didn't go as well, leading to her death and resurrection as a undead assassin (the removable face being due to the Necromancer having an oddly literal definition of a faceless assassin), still capable of independent thought and with some will of her own but not able to resist commands given by her assigned master (and with her memories of her original life being rather like swiss cheese at this point). Assigned to Eryc's forces during his days trying to destroy Mega City she soon developed a strong loyalty to him, and when he switched sides she naturally followed. Unfortunately she hasn't really gotten the hang of this "hero" thing yet and tends to come across as more creepy and trigger happy then anything else.

Okay I think that's everything...once again I'm willing to try something else if ya really don't like how this one came out.
