This is an RP character I used while I was at university; I drew it back in 1998.

We had an active gaming group, and one of the DMs was developing his own D20 system and world. He let us play with any character we wanted, and between us, we worked up a playable character sheet for an ordinary Predator character. I can't remember if we went with a barbarian class or something else - I think we were referencing the Skills and Powers book rather than the standard player handbook.

This Predator didn't get magic. She was strictly sci-tech, and magic didn't make any sense to her limited worldview (neither did the idea of not killing all the interesting fauna we came across - she wanted trophies, dammit!). I played the "what is this magic nonsense?" as a blind spot, kept getting caught flat-footed (I was the first victim of the Fluffy Pink Bunnies), then killed, then resurrected, then laughed at by the Predator gods... The DM hammed it up. We even had some kind of super-intelligent elven cat that kept using Power Word Happy on the Predator. It was awesome.

...But not awesome for the poor, sanity-hanging-by-a-thread Predator. The other (much better-adjusted) characters nicknamed her "Runs With Scissors".

As I recall, we played long enough and hard enough that we achieved something similar to apotheosis. This Predator made a very grumpy demi-god.

Welcome to the Main blog and update center for Ascendant, a grimdark rpg set in Illvicta, a setting of woe and sorrow, but also one of hope.

Currently, the system is very close to being in an early playtest ready state. as of this point we have six levels of classes done, along with spells and abilities for each one. along with an ever growing weapon and monster list.
