Anyway it's AMAYzine May AND it is Wayward Wednesday. So today you can watch your favorite Supernatural episode featuring the Wayward girls on Netflix.
Amazing Adventures is a really awesome game with a lot of character development and customization built right in. Today I want to just work from the core rulebook and figure out how to add some different quirks to some characters with similar backgrounds.
Jody and Donna are both sheriffs working in the northern part of the Midwest.
Anne/Alex and Clare are both survivors that have turned to less-legal pursuits for hunting monsters. AA gives me the means to get a little more finesse out of these characters.

The differences between Jody an Donna are subtle in terms of stats, but they are role-played very differently. Jody has a longer history of hunters and hunting, but Donna has made up for lost time.
Jody can be a bit abrasive with others and with her family, but that is only becuase she worries about them. Her first family were all killed.
Donnan can act all sunshine and Minnesota good cheer, but never doubt that she has already figured out the monster and knows a couple of different ways to kill it "doncha know".

Anne has two classes to cover the time when she was living bait for a clan of vampires (Socialite) and when she was later hunting and acting out (Hooligan) or as Jody put it, she was not a cheerleader but the one smoking pot under the bleachers.

Anne and Clare would normally by the rules appear to be Hooligans. Anne/Alex starts out as a "Socialite" since that is the closest thing in the rules to "pretty vampire bait". Though she did do all of the things a socialite did for her vampire clan. After she was freed she became every bit the rebellous teen Hooligan that Clare is. Using the rules to swap out powers I took out her "Traps" ability and replaced it with "Medicine" to cover her training as a Nurse. I am thinking that for now she is an LPN, not an RN, so maybe as she gets better I might have to rule of taking out some of her other hooligan abilities that no longer fit.
I also removed her Exalt since she is not running with a vampire clan/nest anymore.
Class: Mentalist

Attributes

DEX: 14 (+1)
CON: 12 (0)

Class Abilities

Traits

Psionic Powers
Basic: Clairvoyance w/ Pre-cognitive
Background: Student
Knowledge: School topics
Patience is the easiest one. She is, by any definition I can think of, a 1st level character. She has some skills (she is top student and athlete) but she only has one trick right now and that is her visions. So she is a perfect level 1 Mentalist with very, very minimal customization.
Ok. Now, these are builds I can enjoy and get behind. These would be some kick-ass characters to play. Everything from Patience discovering what her own powers mean and what she can do, to Clare's unresolved anger issues and the new mother/daughter relationship to Jody (who is basically Clare in few more years). Even Anne trying to put the horror of her life behind her to do something normal.
It would make for a great game and a great TV show.
