My friend is going to be a first time GM at a Weird West type of game, and its about to start but I can't think of a character to play! The one I was gonna play is essentially being played by someone else i dont want to step on their toes.
Can anyone please help me out, I need some kind of idea for something worth playing.
A typical brooding edgelord but a Native American instead of a trench coat ninja
>*unzips tomahawk*
>*Old Indian tricks behind you*
>"Pssh, nuthin personnel, paleface"
Lich gambler/saloon owner that pimps zombie whores in the rooms above the bar...
An intelligent midget sitting on the shoulder of an 8ft tall, mentally retarded saloon bouncer.
perhaps a revenge obsessed now-orphan on the trail of some wandering villain?
I DM a Weird West campaign. My players have some pretty fun characters
>a smooth-talking gambler who tries to befriend everyone he meets so he can squeeze them for favours later
>a sheriff's deputy who's basically Judge Dredd, and has a hard-on for the law
>the town drunk, also the most accomplished brew master in town, and an accomplished alchemist
>a boxer who's possessed by a spirit
Just find a stereotype and play into it, you don't even have to be particularly original.
Idea, Demon Werewolf!
Hear me out, people love native american werewolves, what if you also combined that with ghost rider!
Sounds pretty edgy sempai. What's his deal? Why is he a werewolf? Why is he ghost rider?
Well the simple answer would be theyre both cool, and sometimes we can end it there.
But I guess if were going somewhere, maybe something along the lines of Prey where you got your ghost grandpa with you, you're a werewolf as all men in your family have been. At 12 or some shit they turn you into a werewolf and teach you to balance good and evil wolf stuff and use this to be one with nature.
As for the ghost rider shit, uhm, fuck, made a deal with a demon for demon powers? nah, upon running through the woods naked you found the previous ghost rider dying and passed the mantle to you?
I think one of those concepts is enough, you don't really need them both. That's a little snowflakey, and probably annoying for the other players to roleplay off of. Be a skinwalker, or be wild west Ghost Rider, punishing the sinners for their evil deads.
Okay, nother random idea, Castelvania Vampire Hunter?
A whole band of hillbillies, who collectively take up one typical character's actions a turn and share an hp pool.
At first I thought he was throwing an energized shovel through the guy
I am disappoint
Sounds pretty good to me.
