Thorpocalypse, mind taking a stab at Rick Sanchez?

[Thorpocalypse]

That sounds like a...



...CHALLENGE!

I'll try to have it done by the end of the week. The Mrs. fell and hurt her leg pretty bad (no breaks that they can see, MRI tomorrow) so she's laid up and my youngest Thorpocalypse has the stomach flu so I'm playing nurse right now. But seeing as how I won't be leaving the house and they'll sleep eventually, I'll have a little time to work on it.

I'm sorry to hear about your family's ailments. I hope they recover and heal well, and as quickly as possible.

No rush, I just can't find anyone's take on this awesome character. Hope your family gets better soon.

It is kinda odd. You would have thought Kreuz, Jab, or Gamebook would have knocked one out by now. Back in good old days of the late 2000's Atomic Think Tank, someone would have had Rick and Morty up about 2 hours after the first episode.

Damn, you must be old-school- we haven't heard from him in years .

[Doc chaos]

Yeah, babies and pacifiers. Tal goes to the beginning of 2e. Heck I remember Jab's Iron man as his first entry with a picture. Quite the Pantheon of statters. Check Dweller in the deep. He's got some good builds from awhile back.
Hope all is well Thorp. Bananas are good for settling bad stomachs.

LOL- wow, that IS a long time ago. 2008 or 2010- I didn't even recall which of my builds started the "I use pictures" trend. I mean, my first couple (which were OCs) had them, but I didn't realize the cut-off between "hardly ever posts pics" and "now posts pics" was Iron Man!

ah, old times...

Relationships: The Kravinoff family

Abilities 80 + Skills 24 (48 ranks) + Advantages 15 + Powers 10 + Defenses 9 = 138 / 138

Build Comments: During The Grim Hunt arc in Amazing Spider-Man, they introduced Kraven’s daughter, Ana, who, unlike her generally sucky brothers Vladimir and Alyosha, has shown to be quite the fighter and schemer, especially for a 12 year old. She also appears to have inherited the family physical abilities, which allowed her to handle Vermin easily and hang with Spidey on her own for a while. At first I thought the 5 Strength was too much, but she outmuscled Vermin and he's a solid 8 in most versions. And she really rocked at the end of the Grim Hunt arc.

Secret Origins: Ana Tatiana Kravinoff is the daughter of Sasha Kravinoff and Sergei Kravnioff better known as Kraven The Hunter. Years after her father’s suicide she began to stalk his archenemy Spider-Man whom she blamed for her father's death. Being careful not to fully trigger his Spider-sense she tracked him to his current apartment with his roommate Vin Gonzales.

The Story so Far: She attacked Peter at his new job at a comic book store and later she kidnapped Vin believing him to be Spider-man after causing him misfortunes all day. She took him to the sewer tunnels used by Vermin seeing it as the perfect place to hunt and kill "Spider-Man". Meanwhile Peter, using one of Daredevil's costumes, began to look for Vin thinking he found his Spider-Man costume. Ana gave Vin a morphine/MGH cocktail thinking he may need to recharge his powers so he would be worthy to hunt. However Vermin arrived to find them in his territory and attacked. Ana overpowered him and then sent Vin into the tunnels so she could hunt him.

Peter went to Vin's precinct to find him and heard the rumor Spider-man had been kidnapped by a girl and that a drug dealer sold her MGH. Peter arrived at dealers local area realizing Vin was the Spider-man that was captured. He fought an enraged Vermin and then found Ana hunting Vin. Both fought her, but she held her own till Vermin arrived for a rematch giving them time to leave.

Ana assisted her family with the resurrection of her father, the original Kraven the Hunter. After their defeat at the hands of Spider-Man, the Kravinoff family escaped to the Savage Land.

Characterization: Ana shares many qualities with her father, Kraven. She either inherited his superhuman physical abilities or ingested the same (or similar) jungle potions that bestowed unto her father his bestial power. She has some degree of superhuman strength and speed and was able to fight Spider-man and Vermin likely due to the herbs her father and brothers used. She has a keen predatory instinct and views almost all others as prey. Ana, like her father, is a trained hunter and martial artist.

Friends and Foes: She worships her father, Kraven and shares his passion for killing “Spiders”.

Well let me check my list of powers and weaknesses: ability to do anything, but only whenever I want. Yeah, that sounds like a job for me.

Listen, Jerry, I don’t want to overstep my bounds or anything. It’s your house. It’s your world. You’re a real Julius Caesar, but I’ll tell you some, tell you how-how I feel about school, Jerry. It’s a waste of time, a bunch of people running around, bumping into each other. G-guy up front says, “two plus two.” The people in the back say, “four.” Then the bell rings, and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can take a dump or something. I mean, it’s—it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry, and I know that’s not a popular opinion, but it’s my two cents on the issue.

An-and I-I-I'll go out and I'll find some more of that Mulan Szechuan teriyaki dipping sauce, Morty! Th-b-because that's what this is all about, Morty! Th-that's my one-armed man! I'm not driven by avenging my dead family, Morty, that was fake! I-I-I'm driven by finding that McNugget sauce! I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty! That's my series arc, Morty! If it takes nine seasons, I want my McNugget... dipping sauce Szechuan sauce, Morty! That's what's gon-it's gonna take us all the way to the end, Morty! Season nine more seasons, Morty! Nine more seasons until I get that dipping Szechuan sauce! For ninety-seven more years, Morty! I want that McNugget sauce, Morty! - A very small sampling of the quotes of Rick Sanchez

Enemy: The Council of Ricks, The Galactic Federation and many, many, MANY others.
Hatred: Time Travel. He can do it, but he won't do it anymore because it's a pain in the ass. This is shared by the writers of the show and me, because there is NO TIME TRAVEL IN THE THORPOCAVERSE.
Hedonist: Because of the things he's seen and his world view, Rick often does whatever he wants.
Relationships: Despite his better judgment, he's close to his sidekick/grandson Morty, his daughter Beth, his granddaughter Summer and his best friend (if he can have such a thing), Bird-Person.
Rivalry: With his son-in-law Jerry, who for some reason, he just can't get rid off.
Secret: Yup…there's a lot we don't know about Rick's life before he returned.

Build Comments: Wubba lubba dub dub!

Something that took me way too long for a number of reasons (mostly lack of focus and time), here is Rick Sanchez from one of my all-time favorite shows, Rick and Morty.

I heard so much hype about the show from friends the ‘net and I finally watched the first couple of episodes not too long after Season 2 ended. About mid-way through the 2nd episode, it hit me that it might be too smart to last. But amazingly enough, it has and I thought Season 3, even though it was kinda up and down at times, was still amazingly well-written.

For the uninitiated, Rick is the smartest man in his multiverse and his sidekick is his grandson Morty who is…not that, but a great foil for Rick. The show is a take on Doc and Marty McFly from Back to the Future, but with a far more twisted bent. Any description of the show I could go into wouldn’t do it justice so I’ll just link to the Wiki and let you have it at from the story standpoint. But I highly recommend just watching it if you can. It’s great on so many levels.

As a build, this is a loosey goosey take on Rick. Like many super scientist types, he seems to have a gadget for evey occasion and whatever he doesn’t have, he can make on the fly with ease. He’s very spry for 70 because he normally has a number of cybernetic enhancements, which I left off because during the series he has switched into a number of clone bodies so you’re never sure what he’s got internally. He’s also got a lifetime of adventuring that’s made him a galactic level hero. Or threat, depending on his mood and intoxication level. I might have gone low on his PL to be honest. In one episode, he took out an Avengers-level (the expy in their universe is the Vindicators, which their episode is one of the great superhero movie parodies of all time IMHO) threat on his own while blackout drunk so he’s not someone you really want to piss off.

Morty and the rest will come eventually once I get bored of fantasy stuff.

[L-Space]

Very nice Rick build Thorp! When the show was first advertised I was super iffy about it, but damn am I glad I gave it a chance because I was instantly hooked!

[Doctor Vile]

Thanks for the Rick build. I did notice you are missing his space car with the A.I. "Keep Summer Safe"

[Thorpocalypse]

Thank for the Rick build. I did notice you are missing his space car with the A.I. "Keep Summer Safe"

I thought about adding that but I didn't see it as something he had all the time, plus the powers seem to change depending on the episode. I might add something, though.

I did so love that episode.
