A full (more or less) listing of the characters that I've played
since 1995. Note that I don't have any prejudices about which system
I play in - as long as the game is fun.

Ekiko Rogers
- System: Paladium (Robotech)
- Concept: TASC Field Medical Officer
- Campaign: Robotech Wildcards
- Current Status: Retired
My first regular play fully realized character. Sadly,
due to the fact that she was my first character in a group
that emphasizes roleplaying over rules and combat, I went
overboard and burdened her with a few too many bad events. I
retired her after several months and rolled up a
replacement.

Crimson Warrior
- System: Champions
- Concept: Japanese exchange student with martial arts
and energy projection abilities
- Campaign: Saviors
- Current Status: Retired
My first bonafide failure from the start, this character
was too much of a stretch for my then embrionic roleplaying
abilities. Dealing with the female, foreign and super powers
aspects was pulling me in too many directions and I was
forced to retire her and build a new character.

Harlan Valequin
- System: GURPS
- Concept: Pilot for hire
- Campaign: Valcor III
- Current Status: Retired
Another failed character for the reasons of a very different
personality. He was undergoing a personality revision due to early
mental tampering when the campaign folded.
Knight Saber
- System: Champions
- Concept: Techno Knight
- Campaign: Crusaders
- Current Status: Retired
My replacement for Crimson Warrior in the renamed campaign. Aside
from the heavy technical skills, he was quirk for quirk very close to
who I am. As a character, he was a lot of fun to play and had many
places to go. Unfortunately, the campaign folded before we could
explore him further.
Michael Goddard
- System: Paladium (Robotech)
- Concept: Hacker who was caught and trained as an REF Field
Scientist
- Campaign: Robotech Wildcards
- Current Status: Retired
Ekiko's replacement, he was a little further away from me than
Knight Saber, forced into military training after a bungled hacking
session. The gamemaster later admitted to me that with this character
I challenged him in keeping ahead of me. That gamemaster has, in
fact, stated that he'd rather have me over anyone else playing the
technical characters.
Jaxom Rockwell
- System: White Wolf (Vampire)
- Concept: Hacker embraced by the Toreador
- Campaign: Dead Man's Hand
- Current Status: Retired
While the campaign was very short, Jaxom at least deserves some
mention, mainly to point out my trend with computer experts.
Armand Hoss
- System: Paladium (Robotech)
- Concept: German Military Specialist with a chip on his
shoulder
- Campaign: Robotech Wildcards
- Current Status: Retired
A temporary character, created for a flashback session involving
other PCs. Armand had a definite superiority complex, to the point
that the character was actually placed in the hospital twice over the
two session and had to be replaced. I earned extra experience points
for roleplaying the character as he was rolled up, even in the face
of what I knew as a player was a losing fistfight with an NPC.
Stephen MacLean
- System: White Wolf (Werewolf)
- Concept: Scottish ship captain, of the tribe Fianna
- Campaign: Taipan: Hong Kong 1855
- Current Status: Retired
My first full-time character to break out of the computer trend,
in part because of the time frame of the campaign. He was an
entertaining stretch, and held together far longer than any stretches
previously. Sadly, he had to be retired due to the tendency of other
werewolf PCs disappearing for various reasons.
Leroy Chandler
- System: Star Trek TNG
- Concept: Engineering Computer and Warp Specialist
- Campaign: Star Trek Odessey
- Current Status: Active
My aspect in a familiar universe. Leroy follows my personal trend
towards computer techs, but in the Star Trek universe I will play
nothing else unless I get to wear at least Commander's rank and serve
as First Officer.
Jamie MacCrimmon
- System: White Wolf (Vampire)
- Concept: Weaponsmith embraced by the Toreador
- Campaign: Taipan: Hong Kong 1855
- Current Status: Active
My replacement for Stephen MacLean, this character is meant as a
true artist, as opposed to the poseur I created earlier. He can
create the perfect weapon for you. Seriously.
Michael Cranston
- System: White Wolf (Mage)
- Concept: Hacker awakened by the Virtual Adepts
- Campaign: Mage
- Current Status: Mage
Since I have yet to gain any kind of familiarity with the Mage
variant of White Wolf, I have chosen to yet again use my computer
technician archetype to ease the learning curve. And for those of you
asking, yes, he is related to Lamont Cranston, also known as The
Shadow!
Trolanzuzex
- System: Star Wars
- Concept: Thranx engineering expert from Hivehom
- Campaign: Star Wars
- Current Status: Concepted
My first alien concept that I will actually play. Trolan's race is
pulled directly from the Alan Dean Foster Humanx novels.
