Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character![Step 6.6. Specialty!]
Greetings,
after the fun of voting on Burning Wheel Orcs and Dwarfes let's go do Mouse Guard!
If anyone wonders why Mice with Swords are cool i present you this picture:Spoiler
Here are the general steps:
Concept
Guard Rank
Mouse Age and Ability Scores
Mouse Nature
Where were you born?
Life Experience (choosing skills)
- Natural talent
- your partens trade
- How do you convince people
- Apprentice in the Guard
- What did you learn from your Mentor?
- Experience in the Guard
- What's your specialty
What are you knowledgeable about?
Guard Ressources
Guard Circles
Mouse Traits
- Quality that you where born with
- Inherited from parents / Life on the Road
Name
Fur Color
Parents
Senior
Mentor
Friend
Enemy
Cloak Color
Belief
Instinct
Gear
The first step for a Mouse Guard charakter is the concept but we will have to skip this since we are voting.
The second thing is Guard Rank. This is really important. The higher ranks ususally have more choices. They are also older and have more will then health while younger ranks are healthier but less willfull.
The Ranks are
Tenderpaw - a new recruit in the MG, learning under a Mentor they have 1 or 2 years to show their worth
Guard Mouse - the rank and file members of the Guard
Patrol Guard - experienced Mice with a lot of different abilitities able to fullfill solo missions
Patrol Leader - The Leader of a group of 2-5 mice. Experienced members of the Guard.
Guard Captain - The second highest rank in the guard (and the highest avaiable to players) They are tasked with administrative stuff and diplomatic missions. Also leading the Guard in war.
I think we shouldn't pick Tenderpaw because there is not a lot to do with them. Not many skillpoints etc. It would be okay but i won't recommend it.

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
I vote Patrol Guard.
I feel like, as long as we're voting up a single mouse, it might as well be the elite operative trusted to carry out missions as a single mouse.
edit: Although, since Mouse Guard creation is a lot quicker/simpler than Burning Wheel creation, it might be neat to have a thread (maybe after this one?) where we vote up an entire patrol party of mice, and try to get an interesting group dynamic going on between them.Last edited by Xefas; 2012-11-01 at 03:28 AM.

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
I'll throw in another vote for patrol guard. Enough rank to be decently experienced without getting too old.

Guard Captain. Because if you want to be the boss, why stop before you're at the top?

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
If you go Patrol Leader, how much control do you get over your mousy
minionsguardsmen? And does the game whine at you/demote you when theyinevitablyimmediately die? And how strong are these little dudes?
If the minions are good enough, Patrol Leader. Otherwise, default to Patrol Guard.

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
So as a Patrol Guard the Health and Will of our Mouse are 4.
His Age can be in a Range of 21-50
Nature is a fairly important stat. A low nature means you can learn skills faster but have the risk to become to unmousy to be in the guard. A high nature is a big reserve of power but you have a long time before learning skills.
Mouse nature is climbing, hiding, foraging and running away. If you do one of these things you can roll your nature exponent.
You can use nature instead of any other skill in the game if you don't have it but you risk loosing it if you fail.
You can also spend a persona point to ad your nature exponent to your roll but this is dangerous in the long run.
To get to the nature exponent we have to awnser 3 questions. I think i will give them without the implications they have. It's more fun and RP-like this way.
You should each awnser the question and tell us what age our mouse should have. I think i will take the average of the given ages.
* Do you save for winter even if it means going without something now? Or do you use what you have when you need it?
* When confronted, do you stand your ground and fight or do you run and hide?
* Do you fear owls, weasels and wolves?

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
Not sure if you wanted yes or no, but I'm giving you some reasonings for what I picked.
* Do you save for winter even if it means going without something now? Or do you use what you have when you need it?
If you mean this in a sane way(eat less now so you have more later), then yes
* When confronted, do you stand your ground and fight or do you run and hide?
I'm a mouse, running and hiding is what you do, standing your ground is what's gets you eaten.
* Do you fear owls, weasels and wolves?
Getting eaten doesn't suit me, so yes I fear them.

Re: Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character!
Is that measured in months? I'll put him in the prime of his life... 25 sounds about right. Someone correct me if that isn't mouse glory-days.
Being a true, honest mouse, I save for winter. I shall not burden the tribe with my luxurious excesses.
I stand and fight! No one bullies a mouse!
Neither mouse nor beast shall shake my resolve. I fear them not.

2. Stand my ground; it's why I'm in the guard.
3. Yes, it's a part of my nature I have trouble with.
