18 Example Characters

The following are a few characters that show you the different ways to use some of Anima Prime’s character creation rules. Some of these use the rules in interesting ways that don’t necessarily fit the description of a particular power. The mechanics remain in place, even when you use powers in such unusual ways.

For example, Yara is using Multisoul to represent two different modes of the same weapon instead of having multiple weapons. Syjika, on the other hand, uses her Soulsmith power with Immediate Imbuement to represent having a huge variety of gadgets at her disposal, rather than one that she reconfigures.

The next example is Kassala’s spirit mecha. Her eidolon, rather than being a summoned creature that fights for her, is a suit that envelops her. Notice how her passion works with Natural Summoner and the cost of summoning the mecha suit. In this way, you also can create shapeshifter settings by using the “summoning” of eidolons as the moment in which the heroes shift.

Yara – Gunblade Warrior
Yara is a human who, through an accidental summoning of her father, merged with a demonic eidolon as a little child. Her skin is a deep crimson, and she has a row of little spikes running along her spine, usually covered by her full mane of jet black hair. She wields a Soulbound Weapon by the name of Gaekalliet, which has 2 barrels of an integrated fully-automatic rifle set into the lower half of its gigantic blade. She can switch back and forth between the 2 modes of the weapon at will.

Evanon – Frost Hunter
Evanon’s tribe lives in the frozen wastes of Asiye, among glittering glaciers and towers of gray stone. His powers allow him to slow down and weaken more dangerous prey so that he can bring it down. Senja, a Caragu eidolon, is his hunting companion. Together they set out to explore the lands beyond their borders.

Ice spreads out in the air, growing out of nowhere. Suddenly Senja bursts through the icy layer, landing with a growl as glimmering shards of ice fall all around it. Like other Caragu, Senja is a large wildcat with an exceptionally long neck and rich dark-purple fur. Despite her feral nature, she can be very affectionate.

Kassala – Spirit Mecha Pilot
Kassala is a fragile cat-like humanoid with the ability to summon a powerful semi-sentient spiritual battle suit to encapsulate her. She feels a great urge to frequently use the power of her suit, which is an addiction she tries her hardest to resist. When injured, she often succumbs to the impulse to call it to her and vanquish anyone who dares get in her way, but she hates herself for her weak will.
Passion: Self-Loathing.
Mark: Feline humanoid.

Quick, agile, and never where you expect me to be.

Entrance and Description:
A whirlwind filled with flashing lights appears around the summoner as she is lifted into the air. Parts and pieces of the Kasitaka Living Armor Suit fly in from all directions, hurling the summoner around as they attach themselves forcefully to her body. Once the whole suit is assembled and completely covers the summoner, she lands with earth-shattering force, steam hissing out of some of the suit’s vents. The suit boosts the wearer’s speed and strength and has an integrated organic rocket launcher with an overdrive setting that creates a flaming inferno all around.

Egere – Shadowbringer
Egere’s demonic mother raped and killed his father before giving birth to him. He grew up in the shadows of a megacity, surrounded by demons and abominations, and he believed that everyone was horrible at heart. However, when he encountered Syjika, his whole worldview was turned upside down. Even as he continues to wrap himself in shadows, there is now a glimmer of light in his life, even though she doesn’t know about it.

Syjika – Gadgeteer
Syjika grew up tinkering with all of the devices her mother, a famous inventor, and she became a steamtech engineer herself. Her attention span is tiny, however, so the items she makes tend to be small, barely finished, and not always thought through. She carries a huge backpack around with her that is filled with her own creations, one for each imaginable need, though it often takes her a while to dig through the pile and find what she’s looking for.
Passion: Compassion.
Mark: Pointed ears and unusually large eyes.
Traits: A tool for every occasion... somewhere in here.
“Uhm… it wasn’t actually supposed to do that.”
Always in the shadow of my mother.

Powers: Heroics, Immediate Imbuement, Improved Grip, Resilience, Restore, Soulbound Weapon, Soulsmith II, Weapon Upgrade.
Weapon: Syjika does not have a permanent weapon. Instead, the Soulsmith II and Immediate Imbuement powers are used for her gadgets.
