Ancestors

What's your favorite sample character from a #ttrpg core book?

Mine is Cormac the Pict, from the third edition of RuneQuest. He's consistently used throughout the books, so he starts out lowly, gets captured and trained to a high degree for arena games, and later gets sucked dry by an evil spirit only to learn magic from the Shaman who saved him there.

(Regarding names alone, I think early GURPS had "Filthy Pierre"...)

@mhd Really? I wonder if Steve had met the legendary sf fan known by that moniker.

@AndreasDavour A quick googling gives no results. Where did he get that from, maybe some common source? (apparently there's a cartoon character called Dirty Pierre)

There's also a real-world example of his combat example opponent, "Louis LeBlanc", but he seems to be born after that example was published...

@mhd there's a guy called that who had been around all the science fiction conventions since forever, and he has like Steve been politically active, and I know Steve visit conventions. But, maybe it's totally unrelated.
