The second winner of the character contest is the esteemed Professor Julius Wrightsworthy. We loved the fact that someone was actually bringing and playing a mad scientist to the table, and the full character stat line really helped us understand who this brilliantly mad scientist was and what they can do. You don’t always see characters like this in roleplaying games, and the good Professor would be welcome at any of our tables – although maybe not quite so close. We don’t trust that Killbot to not turn on us!
VALOR: 0
Name: Professor Julius Rightsworthy
Backstory
Julius Rightsworthy is perhaps the model of the mad scientist, seeking to understand as much of the world
as he can, according to concrete scientific laws. From these laws, he seeks to derive new creations, and
establish a significant change across the world. An end to old regimes of inefficient tyranny, and a
beginning of a New Order, of advancement, justice, and truth.
In his course on attempting this, he has created nine generations of advanced Killbots. The first, refused to
exhibit even limited sentience (it was a mechanical pencil.) The second, while it built upon the first,
refused to allow itself to use violence (it was a sentient mechanical pencil.)
The third, however, was too successful by far. Killbot Mark 3, a sentient machine built into the
framework of a castle, began to spread itself far and wide. By separating off its towers, K-3 used it’s own
self-repair mechanism to build more versions of itself, till it threatened the whole region. Professor
Rightsworthy threw himself into the fight, ultimately giving up much of his own power, his youth, and
one of his legs in the hunt for Killbot-3.
For a little while after that, Professor Rightsworthy laid low, iterating and modifying his various
inventions and patents, all the while denying any involvement in the destruction caused by K-3. However,
before too many years had passed, Rightsworthy became aware of what his sacrifices had truly cost – and
more, for all he had given, he had done nothing to truly change the world. What’s more, he grew to
believe that some aspect of K-3 had survived, and resurfaced under the name of Doctor Rightsunworthy.
In the end, Rightsworthy gathered all his means, and the final iteration of the Killbot, developed during
the K-3 War, the Killbot Mark 9. With a nanobot formulation, and a reconstructive intellect, K-9 was
effectively immortal and self-improving, while still bound by overriding commands to stop the K-3 War
from repeating itself.
With these, Professor Julius Rightsworthy has sought an adventuring guild, to rebuild his power, gain
allies, and defeat the Killbot Mark 3 menace once and for all. While having fun along the way, of course.
Description
Julius Rightsworthy is a man old beyond his years. While only 41, his hair is grey all over and his skin
prematurely dull and pale. The small fortune he has amassed from his inventions has allowed him to style
himself in the highest of fashion, with a top-hat and a suit for every occasion. The cloth of one trouser-leg
is folded over at the knee, and he sits in a wheelchair of his own intention, equipped with various weapons
of destruction, and just as many tools of creation.
By his side, often stands a robotic hound. Though steel all over, it largely resembles a Doberman, with a
large slit down it’s back. In combat, that slit opens, revealing a tri-barreled rotary cannon and a long
mechanical arm, equipped with several bandage dispensers, medical needles, and welding tools for K-9’s
own use.
