Exercise 5 Cthulhu
This is an exercise in creativity. Its only goal is to fuel the imagination and test ones creativity. Please post your entries in the hero drafts section with [exe5] in the title.
The Challenge
The Challenge is to make a hero around the idea of cthulhu. For any one who has not read it The Call of Cthulhu (http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.asp) would be a good read to get you started. For any one who doesn't want to read up on cthulhu the basic theme is horror, madness, and the unknown so you can simply work with those ideas.
Drasha's Rant
By now every one should know about the upcoming hero and his rather uncthulhu like abilities. The whole thing has got me thinking what a hero who was really based of cthulhu would look like. The major thing i want to emphasis in this exercise is working ability presentation into your abilities. What i mean is while a stun is awesome you could also have it play demonic muttering for only the player being stunned to hear. Various things like that which can give a hero so much more feeling and fun to the hero. Indecently i have been watching the anime when they cry which might also be part of why i am pondering the idea of madness so much.

The top of the thread still says "Stance Dance." And just so I don't totally waste your time with this post, I'll participate.

ah thanks for the catch. That was the exercise we were going to do before cthulhu took over my brain.

Draaaaashaaaa I think someones been playing Delta Green or Arkham Horror or Eldrazi Green/12Post or simply looking at Cthulhulphant pictures. Speaking of which anyone looking for more research on these matters should really read Delta Green or Arkham Horror source books (they are PnP RPGs for you cool kids who don't play them) they are basically Cthulhu role playing games where the players have to solve mysteries while avoiding going mad (they never do)

Here's my contribution, the 3rd standard skill took awhile to figure out what it was going to be. I took the approach that another monster is boring - so lets do something that it itself would be terrified.

Not one of my favourites, but it plays alot with displacement and isolation.
