Character Contest 85: Sci-Fi Dungeoneering

I'm skipping the Blank Caption Contest this week for a variety of uninteresting reasons, and instead want to run a more open-ended character design joint.

Your challenge this time out is to create a science-fiction version of a "standard" D&D style archetype. So you might do a "Sci-Fi Ranger" or "Sci-Fi Dwarf" or "Sci-Fi Sorcerer" or "Sci-Fi Mapper" or "Sci-Fi Kobold". It's up to you, but the goal is to translate something familiar from the fantasy genre into space. Like this guy:

The rules are the same as usual:

  • All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, whatever);
  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.
  • All entries must be in by next Monday, when I'll choose a winner.

The person with the winning entry as selected by our expert panel (i.e. me) will win their choice of a) a portrait to go in HeroMachine 3, b) an item to go in HeroMachine 3, or c) a custom black and white "Sketch of the Day" style drawing (also by me).

No limit again this week, knock yourselves out.

Good luck, everyone!

  6. Jeff Hebert says:

    I have to agree with Sohier-Legrand, maniacmick — the idea isn’t to do a fantasy character, it’s to do a fantasy staple in a science fiction style.

    It just depends on if you can “sell” it as being based on a D&D standard character type, concept, class, monster, etc.

    Ty the answer. I think i not know how to sell it. So i don’t nominate.

    I did these just for fun before the contest was announced. I think they both fit as a type of SciFi swordsman.
    The first one is more of a ragtag swordsman:

    Because the girls are unrepresented … and i’ve been making lots of outstandingly weird super-heroines. thank you Jeff for a lovely program. enjoyed the other versions too but i always wind up mixing from the guys categories to make girls that are actually cool and not comic cheese. i understand why there are less options for the girls but here’s one person that can’t wait for later expansions – alternate body positions and all.

    lets see if i got it right. first post ever!

This Dark mage has been given magically-based tech straight outta Hell and more magical knowledge than Merlin and Doctor Strange combined. He forgot his given name as soon as he came into allegiance with Asrigoth, who would probably throw him into the PIT as soon as utter his name if he ever got any ideas.

    Not sure if this counts. Basically, I thought: what can I do with a ghost to make it scifi? And then I came up with this. It’s someone doing combat simulation training and their interface gets a virus where their progress is overwritten by someone else’s who did the program before. Hence the “ghost”, because it’s like their ghost. Sort of.

    Entry #2

    An alien warlock.

    Raigal was originally a lowly space pirate. Then one day after raiding a trade ship he flew off course and was sucked into a strange vortex. His ship was destroyed in the endless void but he survived somehow and was hurled out. He found himself in space but was not instantly destroyed. He soon realized that he had been gifted with the chaos energy of the void and now possessed incredible magical power, in addition to having a body that was nigh on indestructible. Raigal now uses his power to command mighty fleets in his pursuit of conquest over the universe. He is now known far across the galaxies as Raigal the Conqueror.

    Entry #4

    This is actually the role play character I am going to use for a Mutants and Masterminds game. He is an alien knight. His real name is Q’arr, and he is one of the lead Ionian scientists of the planet Ios. Q’arr actually developed a brand new form of battlesuit technology that is fueled by the unique life force energy that Ionians exude. The suit itself allows the wearer to travel through space at great speed, as well as enable them to purge any poisons or diseases from their bodies. In addition to this, the special alloy the suit is made from offers incredible protection against external damage. In addition to the suit, Q’arr also designed a special weapon known as the Force Spear. This golden spear is also made from the super-durable metal the suit is, however, when the spear is thrown it actually transforms into a powerful bolt of pure energy capable of destroying most any object it hits. Armed with these weapons, Q’arr lead his people in a defense of their home-world from an evil alien warlord known as Raigal the Conqueror. Sadly, the Ionians were unable to stop Raigal, but Q’arr managed to escape to earth. Now he is the superhero Paragon, helping to defend the human race, while at the same time looking for heroes to help him fight and take back his planet from Raigal.

  90. Blink Dogs (Rangers):

    Blink Dogs are mercenaries contracted by xenobiologists and deep space explorers. They are scouts, frontier diplomats, and mostly importantly protectors of native species from poachers. These elite rangers are known for stealth and swiftness. So quickly they strike, that they are said to “teleport.”

    The Blink Dogs’ uniform is lightweight chameleon body armor. Their colors are derived from their mascot: the giant Azuran wolf. Blink Dogs are the woodsmen of their era. They are strong environmentalists and loyal travelling companions with a willingness to exact frontier justice.

  99. Raijū (Wizards)

    Raijū are counter-intelligence agents specializing in infiltration. They assume civilian identities and spy on their neighbors. Often, these jobs are in research fields (colleges and universities, laboratories, data centers, think tanks, etc.). These secret police do not arrest or act until ordered. When activated, they conduct a merciless scorched-earth campaign.

    Raijū have surgical implants that release electrical charges. For lesser tasks (destroying computers, disabling electronic locks, baffling security cameras and detectors), the charge is bio-electrical. Battery packs in their combat suits magnify their power several-fold (set a house on fire, knockout a local power grid). As a last resort, Raijū can self-destruct. The electrical surge has been known to melt craters up to 8 meters deep and 100 meters wide.

    Entry #1
    Of course I had to do a Sci-Fi Satyr.
    I did a robot satyr once but wasn’t happy with it, this cyborg came out MUCH better, in my own opinion.
    I hope you all like him.

    he is rather simple, but I like him and his starry robe, glowing pentacle and star energy around his hands.

    Here is a Satyr Knight that could have been on a certain Sci Fi series of movies which captured everyone’s imagination.
    His name is Ewan from the planet Capra. The race are Homo Caprians.

    Entry #5
    Here is another from Capra. Ambassador Libidicus. The Ambassador has been known, like most of his race, to party, drink and carouse to excess.

    Forgot to say that the characters are the RPGs clichè of course: On the left we got the healer, in the middle we got the tank and on the right we got the damage dealer.
