Halfdan Black

A 8-Victory Novice Contractor played by WIZARDBATTLE in Maelstrom

Halfdan Black is a bruiser from another world who will risk his life to become the ultimate avatar of darkness and take over organized crime gang mafia.

He is 34 (44) years old, lives in a shitty appartment in NYC, and often appears as a giant, scarred man with a beard that reaches his chest and a shaved, tattooed head. He is wearing a bomber jacket, a red, collarless button-up, and jeans. He bears himself like he's expecting somebody to jump him at any moment.

Halfdan Black lives in Maelstrom, a setting where videos of the supernatural go viral every day. His journal, The Big Book of Shit I've Fucked Up, has 15 entries.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Halfdan Black is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a surgery setup for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar if it caused one.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Biography

Shadow killer mafia man! I've been meaning to play a Jackie type for awhile now.

New Inspirations - Jackie Estacado from the Darkness - Even Kelmp from Misfits and Magic - But big - Grim from String

I don't know what I want Halfdan to be anymore. He wanders between worlds doing incredible violence and not dying. Those are hi specialties. Killing and not getting killed. He's a big brute! But he doesn't need to be. Maybe I should just go full Wolverine? But then I've always wanted to go techno-barbarian too. But I don't think it's very "him." TECHNO-MESSIAH!! He walketh between worlds long dead! He maketh machine from flesh! He has so many drugs that he stole!

Inspirations: - Halfdan the Black - Jacob from Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Originally Thor, though I have been moving away from that a bit

Story so far * Rough childhood, joined a gang as an enforcer young cause he was always big, become a brawler in his teens * Worked doing fights and beating the shit out of people into his thirties, then went on jobs for a secret government organization * Moved to Project * after he lost his arm. Lived in an abandoned Cairo airport for two months * Moved in with a member of the Maxwellist Church after a game in West Virginia * Currently living in New York City
