Lara Croft—Tomb Raider

One facet of Savage Worlds is that it handles pulp fantastically well; so much so that being able to play as an "Indiana Jones" or a "Han Solo" is a large draw towards the system. I'd personally argue that it handles non-magical high fantasy characters just fine as well, but pulp is the genre that the game is largely constructed around, and it's high time to get a few pulp characters in the listing. First off is Lara from the rebooted games (2013).


Name: Lara Croft
Race: Human
Experience: 60 (Heroic)
Agility d8; Smarts d8; Spirit d6; Strength d6; Vigor d8
Pace 6; Parry 6; Charisma 2; Toughness 6
Hindrances: Curious, Loyal, Pacifist (m)
Edges: Attractive, Luck, Marksman, Dodge, Extraction, Counterattack, Level Headed
Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d8, Healing d4, Investigation d6, Knowledge (Asian History) d8, Notice d6, Persuasion d4, Repair d6, Shooting d8, Surival d6, Swimming d6, Throwing d4, Tracking d4
Inventory: Bow (2d6, 12/24/48), 9mm Pistol (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto), Quiver, Climbing Axe (Str+d6, Climbing +2, Improvised Weapon), Torch (w/Lighter), Two-Way Radio, Rope (20'), Ascender, Jade Pendant

Lara Croft is a modern adventurer/explorer. Her parents were killed in an archaeological accident (what?) when she was six, leaving her a reasonably large life insurance policy, though she opted to pay her way through college by taking multiple jobs. She is a kind soul; loyal to the end and avoiding violence whenever given the opportunity. She is also insatiably curious, reading books and learning about cultures until it no longer satisfies her, driving her to explore these ruins herself.

As a younger girl, Lara took gymnastics and archery, and has limited experience in first aid due to her time as a barmaid. She is very resourceful and highly intelligent, able to tinker and put together simple devices to aid her if need be. Her time with her surrogate father Ross helped teach her how to fight and hunt, helping her immensely in those first few hours on the island. Lara is also an expert in Asian history and legends, being her major in college.

After graduating, she left upon the Endurance to find the lost kingdom of Yamatai. This prompted her first adventure ever, forcing her to learn how to fight and keep a cool head to survive and save her crewmates. This girl made more Soak rolls in a couple days than some of my players have made over the course of a couple months. Maybe I'm just a nice GM like that.

This adventure—showing her a glimpse of the supernatural and that not all legends are fiction—now drives her to new adventures and more bizarre horizons. Only the future can really tell what's in store for Lara in her next adventure.

There's Lara Croft. No, she doesn't have Two-Fisted (yet) since this is the reboot, but I'll be keeping a close eye on this series and keep her updated to the best of my ability. Leave questions, comments, and reboot hate down below.

Kenzo Tenma—Neurosurgeon

Now, normally, the rule of thumb is that anime is off limits when it comes to Savaging. Monster is the exception that makes the rule. It's one of my favorite shows and it was ripe for a Savaging.


Name: Kenzo Tenma
Race: Human
Experience: 65 (Heroic)
Agility d6; Smarts d10; Spirit d8; Strength d6; Vigor d6
Pace 6; Parry 4; Charisma 0; Toughness 5
Hindrances: Code of Honor, Death Wish (m—Kill Johann), Heroic, Pacifist (m), Wanted (M)
Edges: Rich, Doctor, Common Bond, Quick Draw, Level Headed, Elan, Scholar (Medicine)
Skills: Fighting d4, Healing d12, Intimidation d4, Investigation d8, Knowledge (Medicine) d10, Notice d6, Persuasion d6, Shooting d6, Stealth d6, Streetwise d6
Inventory: Taurus 845 (2d6+1, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto)

Kenzo Tenma is a brilliant Japanese neurosurgeon that moved to Germany after reading a paper by a Doctor Heinemann, the director of a hospital in Munich, and began to work. His talent rocketed him to the top of the hospital's politics, but Tenma's idealism prevented him from really participating in the director's game. When he realized what was happening, he disobeyed an order from the director, operating on a boy with a gunshot wound to the head and was thoroughly ruined afterwards.

That is, until the murders of the three individuals that had made Tenma's life hell. Years later, this cold case came back to life and Tenma was framed, prompting him to run and end the man that had framed him and killed those four.

Over the course of his four year journey, the good Doctor learned how to wield a gun, navigate the streets of Germany undetected, and otherwise avoid capture and prepare for his final goal, but his heroism and call for peace and forgiveness never wavered in all that time.

Tenma has an Edge from Realms of Cthulhu (Doctor) that effectively functions as the Healer Edge from the core rules, as a Professional Edge makes more sense than the Weird Edge.

This is one of the few anime that has a full, vibrant, and easily Savageable cast, and it's good to get a character below Legendary in here now and again. Leave questions, comments, and Monster love below.
