I'm fine with the armored space marine, but I think it would be kind of nice if it happened to be a woman. Make her not super-attractive, half naked, a complete b*tch or airhead. Let's also leave out the overdosing on 'roids and anger.
And the size Q breasts on a 13" waist is also unnecessary.... that's pretty archtypal of female characters. No 36-24-36 here..... more of 63-14-30.......... seriously, that's not even slightly real, yes, it appearantly appeals to the most depraved of us (DoA Extreme 2 anyone?) But if I have a leading female character I want her to be a total bad ass without massive breasts keeping her from holding a gun properly.
And fun little quirks like a morbid sense of humor. I could see her shooting some fallen enemy a couple of times with a shotgun just because "He wasn't dead enough".

I'm already falling in love with this character. Give her a couple tattoo's and a wicked bit of cynicism and I'm all for it.

In games, many protagonists usually fall into the category of super soldier, emo super soldier, super soldier that needs to shave, or Master Chief wannabe (happens to be super soldier)
Of course these are mainly abused in shooters what are you gonna put a pansy as the main character umm no cause he would die and if he didnt meaning he was just some lucky super soldier and didnt freaking know it!!!
Gordon Freeman, dude. He's a fucking theoretical physicist, and kicked more ass than Master Chief ever could.

But, you know, if you're not a super soldier you're a pansy. Yeaaaaaaaaah.

Didn't Yahtzee review a game with a character sort of like this at some point? A spy of some sort who ruthlessly murdered nazis? I don't remember the name of the game, but she seems sort of like a character you would like to see...

Si Nro

A foot tall alien detective with psychic powers, a bad attitude and an even worse sense of humour (or as his peers suspect none at all).

Newly assigned to the city of Bedlam, a human/extra-terrestrial cohabitant city, Si is the first extra-treestrial to join the Bedlam Police Department. After a week within the city, Si is framed for the murder of a highly influential human and is forced to escape the Police, Run from the government and work within the seedy underbelly of Bedlam's criminal empire.

Abilities.

Being only a foot tall, Si can squeeze and fit into spaces most people never get to see. He can also climb on walls, breathe underwater and use night vision.

Powers.

Normally Si's psychic abilities include telepathy, levitation, mind control and telekinesis. After being arrested however Si has to deal with a pair of cufflinks which take away his powers. During the game however the cufflinks become damaged and Si thusly regains one of his abilities.

This guy:


A member of a proud ancient reptilian warrior race. A bit of a wise cracker with some odd quirks but underneath it a bold valiant and ultimately tragic hero with firm ethics and a strong moral code. He also has a tragic past like they all do.
To make him even more original he is a hero and his race is often oppressed and bullied by humans so he is the good guy and humans are evil.
His name: Zukan Gregorias.

Powers: He, like most of his kind, is skilled in swordplay and most forms of combat being more of a brawler than a strategy sort of man. Again like all of his kind he can heal himself on the fly and can spit a nasty venom from his mouth that reacts like burning acid that melts through most surfaces. He possesses several weapons but the one he favours most is Valkishrine the sword you see him presented with. He can also create illusions, blast a massive wave of divine light, release crops of black demonic serpents can summon a beast that is representative of his soul. Finally he has the power of 'Whit Imperial Dragon' an ice based spell with many different stages of varying uses. he is a master of ice spells.

I wish I was that skilled. The picture just looked very close as to how I imagined the character would look.

I had this exact same idea about two years ago. I scrapped the idea when I couldn't draw a good concept art. Everything else was about the same, except the sword and name. I had a reptile with an axe.

A space marine,

I know what you're thinking, but listen!

A space marine who went crazy and killed his squad, and is now living in the middle of a warzone killing anything that gets near.

I'm going to have to steal from my SN and the movie Mystery Men, and say the Blue Rajah, the fork throwing maniac with a heart of jello.

Oh, yes, indeed. Obviously make the female character attractive, but in a realistic way (April Ryan/Alyx Vance sort of thing). Perhaps a little bit psycho though, that would be pretty original (I mean, is Samus Aran a sadistic *****? Nope. Nor is Jill Valentine or Chun Li. Just saying.).

As for my own original character, I'd go for a normal guy who basically gets thrust into the action unwillingly. Perhaps someone who picks up a gun or a knife to defend themselves when the world is going to pot and ends up, with absolutely no special skills or training whatsoever, being thrust into action to fight for their survival and their country. So not like in L4D (after all, each of them has some skill they use to fight zombies, like Bill being an ex-soldier). But completely useless normally and simply forced to fight to save themselves.

So, he's a reptilian version of a cliche'?
I guess though I do like to think he's above cliche (that was just a brief summary, he's deeper than that I assure you) but the fact that he's a lizard I think is just enough to justify him being a little closer to the mark because typically lizards are NOT the good guys.

I'm already falling in love with this character. Give her a couple tattoo's and a wicked bit of cynicism and I'm all for it.
