Character Creation Challenge 3: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

31 Day Character Creation Challenge

3: Buffy The Vampire Slayer (revised edition)

(demo at the BBC Cult TV page, which shows most of the system including most of the Drama Points)

The game of the series this blog is named for, the longest game I’ve ever run. So this was gonna happen.

And outside of play-by-post games I’ve only ever gotten to play it for one run of about six weeks. So I tend to jump at the chance to play a Hero type rather than a White Hat, the two main character power options balanced by access to Drama Points. And while I have entirely too many Hero ideas, for simplicity I often go with a Vampire Slayer. But I went with a slayer for my last PBP, and this character appeared as an NPC in my last game as Director...
