A Pro Wrestler in Call of Cthulhu
First of all, in case you don't know (and it's like 98% likely that you don't), Call of Cthulhu is a roleplaying game, kinda like Dungeons and Dragons, but based on the work of HP Lovecraft and usually taking place in either the 1920's or in modern times. Anyway, there is no specified class system--you arrange your skills and everything yourself based on your character's occupation.

I have figured out how to make a pro wrestler in Call of Cthulhu.

Don't ask me why. It just happened. I was bored. So sue me. Anyway, I'm posting this for two reasons. One is in case one of you actually happens to play this game--HA--and would actually be interested in making a pro wrestler character--DOUBLE HA. Secondly is verification. Just wanted to see if it sounded about right. I provided the recommended skill list, and explainations about why the wrestler has each skill--if somebody requests feats or whatever, I might throw those in, too. Anyway, tell me if these sound about right.


Bluff. This should be pretty obvious. Most of a wrestler's ENTIRE CAREER is based on this. It's outrageous claims. It's acting. It's convincing the fans that you're going to kick some ass this Sunday.

Concentration. When you can properly run through a coreography session while millions of people are screaming at you, congratulations. You are one steady mofo. Concentration in-game allows you to make skill checks with distractions, without taking penalties. Niftyness.

Diplomacy. Again, self explainatory. It's etiquette, oratory, expression, call it whatever you want. The man knows how to get his point across.

Disguise. Do I need to explain this? Really. Kane is Isaac Yankem is Fake Diesal is the freaking Christmas Creature. Same guy, but you'd be surprised how many people don't realize that...

Innuendo. The ability to talk about something but sound like you're talking about something totally different. Do you like pie?

Intimidate. Come on. Really now.

Jump. I dunno. There's not alot of physical skills available, and I've seen wrestlers make some crazy ass jumps before.

Listen. Pssst. Canadian Backbreaker.

Performance. Specifically, acting.

Read Lips. While I doubt an average wrestler could actually do this, I figure it'd be useful. Hey, what if the wrestler can't hear what move his partner's calling? Here ya go.

Sleight of Hand. All part of the job, baby. It looks like the kick landed. It sounds like the kick landed. It doesn't feel like it, though...

Tumble. Diving, rolling, somersaulting, flipping, etc, etc.

Anyway, you only get 12 core skills, so that's what I picked for the 'rassler. Tell me if it all seems to check out, or comments, or rants about how huge of a nerd I am, or whatever. If you're not into roleplaying, you probably have no idea what in the blue hell I'm talking about. Man, I am SO not getting alot of replies to this.

That's cool. Is this an online game? (and yes, I know exactly what you're talking about)

Best RPG/wrestling crossover is the story about El Diablo the Mexican Vampire Lucha in the Sabat companion for Vampire. That's classic stuff.

All I know is that Metallica probably ripped off the concept like they ripped off a lot of riffs that Exodus and Megadeth came up with.

Both Call of Ktulu and The Thing That Should Not Be are based on HP Lovecraft's work--Call of Cthulhu and Shadow Over Innsmouth / Dagon, respectively.
