Day 5: Outgunned Combo 5 - Dino Storm & Midnight Wars

Lottery Result: Dino Storm and Midnight Wars. Oehm. Jurassic Park and Werewolves/Vampires. This is not an easy combo. Fuck it, let’s lean into the cheese.

1965. The recent expedition of a British noble adventurer to Antarctica has found something completely unexpected, a large area with tropical temperatures and flora and fauna straight out of a palaeontologist’s textbook. They radioed their findings in, but then contact broke off. A new expedition is assembled, with members suitable to the task of finding the expedition of Lord Fauntleroy. Note: Outgunned Adventure would be a better fit, but the two games are really, really close mechanically when it comes to characters.

One of the members of the expedition is a scientist, palaeontologist Leslie Grainger. Unknown to everyone else she is also a Daywalker, a half-vampire who suspects the area to be the mythical Land of Nod, the origin of her bloodline. Professor Grainer is 56, though she looks to be in her late 30s. The palaeontologist training was originally a cover that allowed her to travel the world and dig into vampire history. Often, she had to fight supernatural enemies in the course of that work, and she suspects this one will not be an exception.

Role: The Slayer (MW)

Trope: Action Palaeontologist (DS)

Feats: Damned (which in her case grants the monstrous feat Regeneration)

Occult Knowledge (she knows a lot about the supernatural)

Palaeontology (and dinosaurs and the like)

Flaw: No patience for the weak.

Catchphrase: “Yeah, they will do that.”

Her two skill points go into Know and Endure. She has a Memento of her mentor, a revolver with silver bullets, and a character sheet.
