MOTU Character Concept Creation

So, what's the deal with all these lists?

Probably the most memorable part of the MOTU series is the unique cast of characters that inhabit the world. Aside from He Man, who's actually pretty plain in my estimates compared to others, there are some tendencies and themes that reoccur. I wanted to come up with a way to come up with MOTU style heroes and villains that were different from the cast in the episodes, yet had a MOTU feel to them. To do that, I made lists. Following, you'll find these lists.

Very quickly I think you'll notice that there are many more possibilities for these lists than I and the silly group of friends I solicited for help came up with. You should adjust and improve and add to and get crazy with them, if you want to. Otherwise, work with what you got here. There's plenty to come up with great variety. I've play tested with them and the characters my players have come up with have been quite varied. The lists end up being the starting point.

Here's my rules for my players...
1. You can re roll, yes, but you must start at the very very very beginning.
2. I'm not going to help you come up with a name. Do it yourself. Use the concepts you rolled to come up with something silly and fitting. Look to He Man character names for inspirado.
3. If you come up with an idea that fits around your character rolls, even if it seems kinda crazy, I want to hear it. If it makes the game more fun, I'll probably go with it.

Okay, now come the lists. Just follow along. They should walk you through.

A note about dice rolling. In parentheses next to the name of the list is the kind of dice you need to roll for that list. In most cases a d6 (six sided dice) or d10 (ten sided dice) may be sufficient. In other cases, you may have to roll a d40, or something. Either roll on a digital dice where you can choose the number of sides, or just roll a percentile until you get that number or lower.

Also, if a list entry has more than one item listed, the player gets to choose!
