Probably not great, the character I last played is only a 5th level arcane archer, which strikes me as fairly below Scorpius' level.
Someone pull up the d20 FarScape rulebook, we can check this.
Already did that on another thread a couple weeks ago, Scorpy Sue is a 13th level scientist.
> Scorpy Sue
If that was meant to suggest that he’s a Mary Sue, I gotta disagree. Scorpius is nowhere near individually powerful enough, and he has more than enough avoidable mistakes under his belt, to not qualify as a Mary Sue.
It's just one of the many names Crichton calls him.
Dude ate all the femenist terrorist clams & almost died to help the Moya gang & then had to drink everyone's pee. Ain't no way he's a Mary Sue
>Clamps
Oh, god that episode.
It's a Rygel bites the long nose off a israeli alien tranny doctor episode...
Smh. This anon
caught the reference, it's from a line Crichton utters in s3e20.
>Why are you bitchin' at me like we're married, Scorpy Sue? Just tell me what's on your mind.
To be fair, Crichton has a near inexhaustible list of names for anyone & everyone.
Which is why that should have been the assumption from the first.
One of the best parts of Crichton's arc through the series is him becoming increasingly fed up with the entire galaxy's bullshit. Everyone keeps making alien bullshit references at him and then treating him like an idiot for not knowing about stupid alien bullshit, so he starts making references to Earth media to confuse them right back.
It's a Crichton straps a nuke to his chest & dances on a table talking about America during peacetalks episode...
>"For I am an AMERICAN. And what does an American want? Democracy...?"
>Everyone looks at him like he's just farted in the elevator.
>"...Capitalism!"
This show was too good for any time period. We didn't deserve it... Well, most of it. There's still some bad episodes in there, but the central storyline that runs through all seasons is golden.
The only episode bad enough that I skip it on every rewatch is the one where Chiana fucks off to an underground maze full of meth heads in a spat of grief. I absolutely can't stand it. The first half of season 1 in general does make me a bit restless on rewatches, though.
First couple seasons have a handful of episodes that are like
>the crew lands on the planet of the retarded australian dipshits who all talk like idiots
and skipping them loses you nothing.
Damn. I'm on the brink o' devastation, Minnie Pearl.
I do love how he just becomes increasingly better at just bullshitting his way through things by just becoming louder and more bombastic and owning his shtick to confuse them
I love his character arc, where he starts off as this moderate confused man in an alien setting, but more hes shit is pushed in he starts to become hardened space gunslinger who takes no shit. I especially love how everyone treats him as this helpless weak idiot at the beginning but eventually they all start respecting him and think he is actually extremely intelligent, to the point he is the defacto Captain and leader of the group.
And that they're all now infamous criminals/rebels.
>Oh, God! That is it! You are so - damn - SMART. There's no time for any stupid human anything. And I'm sick of it Aeryn. I'm sick of Napoleon XVI. I'm sick of Blue. I'm sick of tentacle boy. And guess what? I'm sick of you. I'm sick of this whole turd-burp end of the universe!
>tricksy ass witch
this is going to take at least an entire season and he'll be so upset by the end.
MAGNUS VALERIUS MAXIMUS, 20 LEVELS OF PURE FIGHTER/BRAWLER MUSCLE AND SOME PACT TRICKS HE PICKED UP OVER A THREE YEAR CAMPAIGN, IS FRESH OFF YANKING THE UNDEAD DRAGON EMPEROR INTO A GRAPPLE WITH MAGIC CHAINS AND THEN STOMPING ITS ENTIRE FACE IN WITH ONE MIGHTY FLURRY OF FUCK YOU
GET SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I may not be much, but the Jedi that owns me is extremely possessive of material objects.
>Jedi
>possessive of material objects
>owns slaves
Oops, you're a sith onahole...
the correct term is dark jedi, sith actually have a credo they have to follow, being really bad at jedi morals isn't enough
I dunno who this is.
Farscape
It’s a good show, campy Jim hensen fun mixed with a villain that is weirdly well executed. What Thrawn should be. You believe Scorpius is extremely intelligent and despite being evil and duplicitous you see why others might trust him with power if goals align.
Yeah, Scorpy is one of the best villains in television, because he rolls in as a cartoonish obviously evil gimp suit bad guy, but then you start to learn why he looks so sinister and wears the gimp suit and you start to root for him.
Second only to Benjamin Linus in my book, and it was close.
I love in the last season or so, he surrenders to the Moya crew just so he can be around Critchton & get the wormhole knowledge, & he shows in one of the episodes that the cell they put him in can't hold him at all & he's just been polite.
Also, we can't talk about Scorpy without mentioning Harvey.
>mentioning Harvey
Nothing better than Scorpy in a Hawaiian shirt
Ah, so it's Lucas Thrawn rather than Jizzney Thrawn.
Well, Zahn Thrawn (always wondered if Zhaan was named after him).
You right
There is no "Lucas Thrawn"
Expanded Universe Thrawn then, whatever.
My MOTHER liked Fascape, that's just how incredibly good the show was. Sci-Fi bullshit that could - somehow - still have enough character and heart that it could still appeal to your typical soccer mom.
It's hornier than Star Trek but not as horny as Lexx.
>not as horny as Lexx
Few things on regular basic cable were.
Few things are hornier than Star Trek, it's one of the many reasons why I respect this show.
Barbarella is up there too I suppose.
Scorpious is such a great character. Drags himself through all kinds of hell, suffers multiple indignities, handles it all with class, all for one goal. There was no method to heinous, no strategy too horrific, Scorpious was single minded & devious in his approach. He would literally burn the universe if he had to, all because he wanted to fuck over the scarrans harder than they fucked his mother.
Scorpius never really grew on me, it was a bit tiring, honestly, his schtick, like some ffailed attempt to make a bad villain more sympathetic. Oh no, you're a half breed, I'm supposed to somehow feel bad you don't get to kill John, the man who just wants to go home to his family? It was a weighty burden, watching the show, knowing I liked everyone but the main antagonist, and was in the minority.
It's not so much the sympathy of his backstory, but knowing that everything he is doing is just an end to a very specific goal. It's impressive to think that some fucked up half breed was able to become a powerful military commander of Space Fascists who are usually all about genetic purity, & used these dudes like a sledgehammer against his hated enemy. Scorp doesn't care about the Peacekeepers, he cares about killing Scarran shits. He doesn't care about achievements or rank he cares about results, he has climbed the ranks for the sole purpose of having the power to kill more Scarrans. It's impressive to think about a guy with that sort of drive. He'll, he only pursues Crichton because he knows that wormhole tech is the biggest weapon in the galaxy, so if he gets it he wins. He even sympathizes with Crichton several times, but he's not gonna get let him walk away when he has that delicious knowledge in his brain. Also the way he is introduced us great. He's just some weirdo background dude who somehow magically picks Crichton out of a crowd right when he was about to get away, then he tortures him & cucks Crais for the next half season, slowly taking command away from him through competence & skill, no real petty backstabbing & lies, just being a better commander
RIP bozo, he died the way he lived, in agony from extreme heat
I've always wanted to base a character on him, actually. Couldn't settle on Lizardfolk, Yuan-Ti, or an undead. Also not sure what class. You could translate his scientific background into wizardry if you had to. Otherwise, he's probably some sort of Rogue, if anything.
A halfbreed serpentfolk would be the best fit. Especially if it's Conan style serpentfolk
That's what I was leaning towards.
Kinda hard to nail the exact combo of natural internal furnace fire lizard crossed with a humanoid species that dies a slow, agonizing death if the temperature gets a lil toasty.
None of the many hybrid races in tabletop seem to suffer any inherent drawbacks like that.
It's certainly not going to work in D&D. Not a single official playable race has a natural vulnerability to any specific elemental damage, and if there's some that do that I've completely missed, none of them are so severe that you could combine a natural fire breath ability with fire vulnerability to create something that is constantly killing itself.
You don't need to recreate the character 1:1, you just need the vibes down. The contradictory nature and self-loathing drive.
Low-con tiefling; treat his apparatus like a ring of regeneration that burns out every session
My brain short circuited and thought this was the highlander dude.
>between him and wormhole technology
Competent enough to be seen as a valuable asset by Scorpius, morally flexible enough to work with Scorpy, and desperate enough to strike a deal with him? They'd get along fine. Hell I'd have traded several of my party members for someone like Scorpius.
Cuphead would grab a blaster and blat Scorpy into goo.
then make a bad decision leading to a new adventure
I'm playing a Lizardman barbarian, so I draw out all of Scorpy's anti-reptile racism in the worst way possible. My dude's damn strong but will probably still die a horrible death.
I don't know. My group entered that stage in life where everyone is too busy to pick a day and doesn't meet up anymore. I forgot what was my last character...
The worst is when you realize you're actually grateful for that because you're burnt out on games anyway.
Last character I've played is a high level rogue that's survived embezzling a quarter million gold from an Elder dragon, the wrath of multiple kingdoms and performing the metaphysical equivalent of kicking 3 separate deities squarely in the groin with a big spiky boot. I like my odds.
Scorpius was executed and buried onscreen. It didn't stop him from somehow coming back with no explanation beyond "preparation and foresight."
Sounds like a lich. I've dealt with liches before.
Less lich come back from the dead, more asshole batman planned for it and never actually died, just let everyone think he did.
Watching the Season 4 atm. I don't want it to end bros...
>schizophrenic pyromancer
It goes pretty well, and then I finally realize my dream of marrying Zhaan.
Tuxedo Pepe Dominar
Literally just got done with a one shot where I was a fleshwarp barbarian that prefers taking orders, he'd probably side with Scorpy and feel a certain kinship to him.
If she knew anything about his motives and plight, she'd join him on scarran genocide time. It'd be great.
Both of my self-serving, shifty, but ultimately better-natured rogue marines wouldn't care one bit for the genocide of some asshole reptiles.
I have no idea about Farscape and only just read a few wiki articles to get a brief impression, but I don't really see any reason to oppose the guy. I mean, they wouldn't care unless he did something really disgusting and got them angry.
I could use a head start let's say
It's a Rygel, D'Argo & Scorpious stumble into a Tarantino movie, episode
These are real episodes wtf
Not super well, I mean he's intelligent as fuck for and L5R character and a good kama fighter l, but he doesn't have guns. In all honesty he would probably give it to ol' Scorpi because of the promises of vast wealth, riches, a secure place in the peacekeeper empire, and sympathy for also being an outsideramongst his people (im playing a gaijin mamtis).
I give him everything I know and help him achieve his goals. Scorpy is pretty trust worthy and I am not about to go all turncoat and shit on him.
Oh, Scorpius would be fucked. But since my character would mind read him and have an appreciation for his goals, it's more likely he gives Scorp the wormhole tech and wishes him the best of luck with his genocide.
