Supercape Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 During the last year I have started playing a lot of CoC. Without losing my love of Superheroes. Thoughts on this pirate character, please, including does it fit here? Flintlock (The Swashbuckling Sorceress) Power Level: 10 (180/180) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: None In Brief: Pirate-Sorcerer with a dash of Lovecraft. And rum. Alternate Identity: Annabelle FlintBirthplace: Holland Residence: On her ship (The Black Flag)Base of Operations: Oceans and Coastlines around Freedom City Occupation: SorcererAffiliations: NoneFamily: None Description:Age: 337Apparent Age: 25Gender: FemaleEthnicity: CaucasianHeight:5’9”Weight:65KgsEyes: GreenHair: Red Flintlock has no particular costume but will (nearly) always dress as a (historical) pirate, with a flintlock pistol and cutlass by her side. Other than that she appears as a tall woman with a deep suntan and long, dark red hair. She has several scars on her body and a number of maritime, arcane, and saucy tattoos on her body. History: Annabelle Flint was born in Holland, a bastard, to a seamstress and a priest. Her mother fled to the new world with young Jenny in tow. Alas, ill fortune awaited them there, with disease, famine, and destitution. By the time she was fifteen, Annabelle had wrangled her way on to the decks of a pirate ship as a deck scrubber. She was a cunning, determined, and charming young lady, and had soon talked her way up the ranks, eventually becoming captain Flintlock, the ruthless pirate queen. Until one day, the Black Flag and her crew were sunk by Captain Blood. Annabelle swam to the nearest shore, living like a savage, until she was captured by a degenerate cult who worshipped the Yellow Sign. Originally a human sacrifice, once again her silver tongue saved her, and she was taken as a slave by their high priest. Annabelle was quick of wit and, whilst living under her quite mad master, learned his arcane ways, eventually growing strong enough to crush both her master and the cult. Now a powerful sorceress, she made summoned up her ship, the Black Flag, and its crew, from the depths. Armed with her power, her cunning, and a bewitched ship that could speed through any sea, she set sail through strange coasts in this world and others in search of treasure, adventure, and the Yellow Sign. Having recently heard that the Yellow Sign has resurfaced in her world, she had navigated back to the coasts of America, and Freedom City… Personality & Motivation: Flintlock is, at heart, a rogue, a rapscallion, and a pirate. She can be brutal, ruthless, and deceptive. However, she is also a daring and dashing adventurer. Flintlock loves lost treasure, be it material or arcane. From her experiences has arisen the mantle of an arcane defender of the mundane world. Particularly, she seeks to wipe out the cult of the yellow sign, and fears the horrible outer gods that dwell in equally horrible dimensions. The serpent people, the deep ones, and all such degenerate tribes are on her hit list. Aside from that, Flintlock has a special adversity to slavery or racial prejudice, and an equal dislike of maltreatment of women (many of her pirate crew were women and non-caucasians). She is a libertarian – to such an extent that she believes laws don’t completely apply to her. Powers & Tactics: Flintlocks sorcery involves summoning spirits, which appear as ghostly white figures or shapes. Usually, she uses such apparitions as poltergeists, picking up, rending, and throwing her enemies around. For larger groups she will summon horrible spectres that scare her enemies. Flintlock has some more brutal sorcery for most dangerous times or most terrible enemies. She can possess the spirit of another, or, most awfully, summon sea spirits to drown her enemies (sea water filling their lungs). Flintlocks tattoos protect her (to some degree) from injury or harm, the ravages of time, and the cold winds of the sea. Aside from her sorcery, Flintlock is a capable, athletic fighter and carries a flintlock pistol and cutlass. She is known to be persuasive and charismatic, and is a capable mariner. Power Descriptions: Flintlocks sorcery appears as ghostly figures, shapes, or forms. Spectres, ghouls, illusions, or even just giant hands or tentacles. Complications: Incantations: Flintlock must speak (or at least mutter) to use her sorcery. A gag will stop her. Greedy: Flintlock still seeks treasure of all sorts. Drunkard: Flintlock also still drinks, particularly rum, and enough to get drunk. She always gets quite drunk when using rituals. Enemy: With all the spirits she has commanded and dominated over the centuries, there is a good chance that any encountered spirit will be, at best, ill-disposed towards her, if not plain aggressive. Captain: Flintlock to protect any that step foot on her ship by invitation. Even if they subsequently behave badly, she will always be bound to protect them. If she breaks this oath, the Black Flag (and its Crew) will no longer be hers. Song and Dance: Flintlock will monologue, by song!
