GURPS Anime character (Filia) 4e style

by Bruce Grubb <bgrubb@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sep 8, 2004 at 09:45 PM

Back during the days of GURPS 3rd edition there were a series of anime 
character writeups at a site called GURPS Anime 
<http://www.interlog.com/~gggard/gurps.html>
(the link is now broken but fortunitely Web archive 
<http://web.archive.org/>
has a copy
<http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.interlog.com/~gggard/gurps.html>)

The problem was most of the write ups were done before the Compendiums or 
other helpful books came out (Martial arts for Ranma 1/2 for example) and 
as a result the point totals for nearly all the character were through the

roof.  Back during GURPS 3e I used the Slayers series and some reasonable 
online Ranma resources to redo Lina Inverse and Mouse as examples of what 
you could do with these new resources.

With GURPS 4e and the available information I can do Xellos and 
Filia (ala GUPRS Dragons); everybody else will have to wait until the 
relevent books (Magic and Martial Arts) comes out though I might tinker 
around with Mink and Nuku Nuku between now and December. :-(


Filiašs dragon form is a modified version of the GURPS 4th edition Western

Young-adult/medium sized Dragon template in GURPS Dragons pg 146. (I 
*think* I have the point totals right but double check)

Path of White Magic (****ro-majutsu) (IQ/VH) - 20 (Thaunmatology-6; 16)
[16]
 
Filia like Xellos does not cast many spells.  In fact she casts only three

spells during all of Slayers Try.  However given that magic in the Slayers

universe operates akin to the Ritual Magic alternative on page 242 of the 
Basic set it doesnt really matter - As with Xellos I simply gave Filia a 
ridiculous skill level in Thaunmatology (Ritual Magic) so she can cast any

kuro-majutsu spell at a reasonable default. When GURPS Magic 4e comes out
I 
plan to have an actual list of what spells fall under the ****ro-majutsu 
'college'. 

Gold Dragon Race template [546] 
Attributes [245]: ST+13 (Size -50%) [65], DX+3 [60], IQ+3 [60], HT+5 [50] 
Per+2 [10]

Tempature Tolerance 6 [6] 
Unaging [15] 
Bad Grip level 1 [-10] 



Filia is young by dragon standards fitting into the general young-adult
age 
range of Linas friends. 

If encountered before or during the early part of Slayers Try Filia will 
demonstate her holy than thu attitude; however if encountered after the  
Revelation about her peoples slaughter of the Ancient Dragons she shows it

less and less.  In addition to losing this disadvantage after the battle
at 
the Temple of the Ancient Dragons she will have also renounced her
position 
as a priestess in responce to the callousness of the Supreme Elder Gold 
Dragon regardings her peoples near total genocide of the Ancient Dragons 
about 1,000 years ago. 

If encountered after the events in Try Phila will be working with Valgavs 
loyal servants Jiras (a fox humaniod) and Gravos (an orgelike being with a

red crystal in place of his right eye) in a shop that makes pots and maces

all three of them looking after the rejuvinated Valgav. 

Note : When Filia confonts Valgav near the end of Try she says she is now 
just like him.  Since Valgav is the last of the entire Ancient Dragon race

this implies something devistating happened to the Gold Dragons who helped

Lina in Slayers Next to make Phila the last of the Gold Dragon race .  
However there is IMHO not enough evidence to give Filia the dying race 
disadvantage.
