NOTES: The Item of Power is The Cube. Used properly the cube can do
everything from
control a starship to producing a great cup of
coffee.Mihsoshi
does things with it that nobody intended, including Mihoshi
herself. The
Special Attack is the standard issue fighting suit and pistol
that she wears
in situations where massive combat is an absolute certainty.
Mihoshi's Serendipity is her most effective and maddening trait. She
tends to stuble
on solutions accidentally, get any number of places people
just can't go,
cross interdimensional boundaries completely by accident,
and -- well,
you get the idea.
Mihoshi is the cream of the crop. The very best the Galaxy Police has to
offer. The Galaxy
Police protect you, don't they? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

ST. TAIL (Meimi Haneoka)
BODY 8, MIND 5, SOUL 6
Attributes: Acrobatics , Appaearnace
2, Art of Distraction 4, Magic 2
Defects: Compulsively Challenges Asuke
Jr.
Meimi Haneoka is the daughter of a stage magician, and a studeint at St. Lucia middle school. She's also Tokyo's most colorful cat-burglar! As St. Tail she recovers items that were stolen wrongfully (but not always illegally) from their original owners. She does her work through illusion and distraction, and almost always makes her getaway by balloon (usually in bunches).
She would be completely out of place without:
ASUKA JR.
BODY 7, MIND 6, SOUL 6
Attributes: Attractiveness 1, Damn Healthy!
2, Special Police Powers 3 (See below for description of this attribute)
Defects: Compulsively Hunts St. Tail 1
The son of a famous police detective,
Asuka Jr. attends St. Lucia and is a classmate of Meimi's. They bicker
constantly in a state of painfully obvious denial. Whenm Asuka becomes
involved in a raid by St. Tail, he became determined to capture the thief,
who he was sure was his age. The mayor of Tokyo learned this and gave Asuka
special police powers to chase and catch St. Tail. At their first encounter,
Asuka told her to challenge him. To his surprise and inconvenience, she
did. Now every time St. tail commits a robbery, she tells Asuka first in
messages written in the most bizarre places, including his face while he
was sleeping! (I still don't know how she did that one.)
Asuka's special pass gets him access
to wherever St. tail is about to strike next. Since one of the major side
effects of a visit from St. Tail is possible prosecution for whatever illegal
things you've done, Asuka is not a welcome visitor most of the time. Some
even have suspected him of being an accomplice. Asuka's plans are usually
quite good -- but St. Tail's plans are
usually better.
In spite of all his effports, Asuka
has no idea who St. Tail really is. Thus he fails to realize she's in his
class every day arguing with him.
SEIRA (the Little
Nun)
BODY 3, MIND 8, SOUL 8
Attributes: Attractive 1, Sancitiy
5 (see attribute description below)
Defects: Vows of Poverty and Celibacy
1
Raised by the sisters of the St. Lucia
Convent, Seira has taken the vows of
a novice nun. But she still goes to St. Lucia school and is Meimi's closest
friend. And her co-conspirator....
People have this habit of coming to
Seria with their troubles, many of which involve lost keepsakes, momentos
and other things that got swiped by fraud and legal trickery. Seira Takes
the most promising of them to Meimi, who in
turns sends a challenge to Asuka and goes out to right the wrong.
Seira's Sanctity attribute means that
people havea far more than natural
tendency to trust and confide is her. It alsmo means that nobody ever LIES
to her, at least in such a way as she doesn't know it immediatly. This
has prevented St. Tail from getting
into dozens of wild-goose chases, or from being manipulated by real
criminals.

Michael Hopcroft"
ATTRIBUTES: Acrobatics 1, Appearance 1, Energy Bonus 1, Magic 4
DEFECTS: Greedy 2, Magic Limitation
2 (Can only use up to Level 1 magic during
her "time of the month")*
*SPECIAL NOTE: All female sorceror in the Slayers world have the magic limitation. This means that Naga, Amelia and any other soreceresses we meet will have this problem. And if you CAN do magic during "that time of the month", you've got a much bigger problem than power loss....
RATIONALE
In my first cracks at Lina before
starting this list, I considered reducing her atribute points needed to
buy magic to 3 per level. I think right now that the Unique Defect would
be more appropriate.
Lina's Greed is at 2 because it dominates
everything she does. Her lust for power, treasure and enormous meals consumes
her; when she does save the world, it's mainly because her current
quest or treasure leads her to the crisis.
Lina is at Level 4 as a maghic-user;
there are people better than her, but not many. Writing up
the Dragon slave might take some thought, but I still think it's
a legitimate Level 4 spell. Several people know it, including some who
aren't powerful enough to cast it right or experienced enough to know when
not to use it.
GAURRY GABRIEV
BODY 9, MIND 3, SOUL 7
CV 6/4 (9/7 with swords)
HP 75, EP 50
ATTRIBUTES: Appearance 1, Focussed
Combat 3 (Swordsmanship), Iten of Power
4 (Sword of Light), Massive Damage
1, Speed 1
DEFECTS: Easily Distracted 1 (whenever anyone tries to distract him, it usually works), Bad Memory 1, Socially Graceless 1.
THE SWORD OF LIGHT
An immensely powerful artifact, the Sword of Light can cut through anything,
including insubstantial or invisible beings, for massive damage.
In the hands of a skilled user it can destroy powerful demons with one
blow.
It also radiates white-magic energy that can be tapped by a skilled
magic-user to replenish that user's EP for magic. This energy can be unpredictable
and dangerous when weilded by a user of non-white magic (such as Lina).
You must have at least three levels of Magic to use the sword this way.
The actual sword of light is a hilt from which the energy blade emerges.
The hilt can also hold a standard sword blade, and that's how Gaurry usually
carries it. When used thios way, the sword does 10 plus gaurry's Massive
Damage bonus.
The new defects: Bad Memory is because he completely forgets very important things (like what his friends look like) -- he has been known to completely forget world-shaking historical events in which he was a direct participant. Socially Graceless reflects his tendency to blurt out whatever is on his mind, accidentally offend people, and generally be completely unable to function in any soceity where politeness is required.
Gaurry is built on 18 stat points and 15 attribute points (with 3 defect
points). He would be an appropriate starting character in a fantasy campaign.
