that is awesome

>>6323424
"Excuse me, barkeep? One tequila, por favor. What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me that way? Do I have something on my face?"

Please tell me this story ended with violence.

He pulled a classic El Santo infiltration. Since luchadores are awesome, it always works.

>>6323482
Yes. Yes, it did.

>>6323485
Actually, what happened was that a gigantic fight broke out, complete with lots and lots of dropkicking people from tables and using thugs to clear tables. The rest of the party were unable to help, since it would blow their cover, and were forced to watch as their luchador friend went to town. The fight only neded when he powerbombed a mobster's head through the floor and the rest of them ran away.

Luchadore's fuck yes!

Well, we have a mad-scientist guy who can never quite attach himself to the mood of the scene.

Gets annoying.

Sometimes the 'odd man out' is the 'FUCKING AWESOME MAN'. I admire this luchadore's cajones.

>>6323543
Give him a silver mask, rename him El Santo. That's how El Santo handles bad guys.

>>6323630
Yes, in this case, it's not so much a bad thing. He's just, well, different.

Like the time he was stuck inside a prison cell and couldn't break the door open. He then realized he got a strength bonus when using wrestling moves and promptly ripped the door from its hinges with some kind of scissor lock.

>>6323631
I second this fellow.

What system are you using? Because the way I see it, if a Luchador doen't want to be seen, he won't.

>>6323664

This guy just became my favorite guy ever.

>>6323664
... What system is this?

>>6323672
I'm running this in Ravaged Earth, a Savage Worlds setting.

And the luchador does have a pretty high stealth skill for all those times when he needs to pop up behind someone and smack him over the head with a folding chair. It's just that this time he needed a disguise.

>>6323664
See that's using your head. I wish our fighter would do stuff like this instead of whine every single time he doesn't get to kill something.

Awesomeface

>>6323664
I demand more luchador awesomeness!

You know what you need?

Batman Luchadore.

>>6323424
>Luchador
>Speakeasy

Wat?

What the hell would a luchadore do in the thirties?

>>6323913
Lucha, what else :D

>>6323913

Suplex people, of course.

>>6323913
What WOULDN'T he do?

>>6323913
The Charleston.

Oh hells yeah.

>>6323913
dude, luchadores keep on wrestling well into their sixties, and they're moping the floor with the 20-something kiddies.

>>6323952
The guy meant the 1930s.

>>6323957
er... well, Santo began his wrestling career in 1934, and lucha was already big

>>6323913
Lucha libre was made popular in the 1930's. True fact, check it up.

>>6323865
Well, the only thing I can think of is when the party were introducing themselves to J. Edgar Hoover, who was sending them on a mission. The G-man didn't have to, seeing as how he was an FBI agent, the pyrokinetic said he started fires with his mind, the master of disguise mentioned he could speak six different languages fluently while perfectly mimicking Hoover's voice. The luchador simply said "I wrestle" in a thick Mexican accent.

It was fairly badass.

Every party can benefit from the addition of a Luchador.

No exceptions.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

>>6324015
what about a baby shower?

>>6324032
NO EXCEPTIONS

>>6324032
I can only imagine the awesome.

>>6324032
I am now imagining a luchadore body slamming a baby. It may or may not be completely awesome.

>>6324038
A baby luchador piledriving a gangster.

>>6324015
Luchador piloting a giant robot, could this be awesome?

>>6324038
we're gonna need a mop.

>>6324044
I'm now imagining luchador gundams. Manually.

>>6324048
Take this!

SHINING SUUUUUUPLEEEEEEEEX!

>>6324068
Something like MEGAS?

>>6324032

"I CAN SENSE YOUR HEART IS FULL OF JUSTICE, SMALL ONE! YOURS IS THE HEART OF A LUCHA! TODAY IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO HEROISM! HA HA!"

And then the baby is given it's first mask.

>>6324108
This... is just plain awesome.

>>6324048

The gundams must wear giant luchador masks! Masks that match the colour scheme of the gundam!

>>6324108
This is now my Exalted character's origin story.

>>6323913
Uphold Justice, Freedom and Sportsmanship.

Guardsman, Scum, Arbites, Psyker and LUCHADOR.

I can totally see this working.

>>6324209

Led by an Inquisitor of the holy Ordo Lucadoris.

POR EL EMPERADOR

>>6324209

Luchador Techpriest! Grappling mechadendrites!

This thread. is awesome.

>>6324245

The emperor was the finest human whoever lived. Strong. Compassionate. Noble.

My God...

The Emperor was a Luchadore.

OP here.

Wow, this thread turned really awesome really fast. I guess luchadors are just one of these things that make everything better.

>>6324144
Someone was actually running an Exalted Luchador game. It featured a scorpion fly-themed Lunar villain called Moscas Escorpión that impregnated kidnapped women with his stinger, which implanted foetal scorpionfly-beastmen within them.

I'm interested in how that turned out.

Next game I'm in, no matter what the system or setting. There will be a luchador. He/r name will be Twiggy El Luchador Asistente.

This thread is caliente!

I am fucking laughing hysterically at this thread.

I love you, /tg/

I'm desperately trying to think of different systems.

Changeling: the Lost - your burning heart of Justice! showed you the way home. One day you shall return to Arcadia and right the wrongs that were done there.

WHFRPG: You are the descendant of an Estalian soldier and a beautiful maiden from far off Lustria. You have recently arrived in Marienburg to show the Empire the true meaning of a noble heart. Your mask is a relic, possibly made by Lizard men. It only works when you wear nothing but pants and a cape.


I'd love to see something for Don't Rest Your Head or Unknown Armies.

>>6324374
>You have recently arrived in Marienburg to show the Empire the true meaning of a noble heart.

As part of a carnival/freakshow, of course. No one is going to take you seriously there, after all.

In 1st ed WFRP you could play an Entertainer who specialised in wrestling. Dunno about 2nd ed.

best thread I've read all day.

>>6324374
You arrived in the Mad City, and quickly decided to put them on the path of nobility. Your Exhaustion Talent is Perseverence, tha ability to keep going no matter what. You Madness Talent is Showmanship, the ability to do the impossible so long as it looks impressive and gets kicks out of the crowd.

>>6324376

It does open up the possibility of a tag team/rivalry with a Kislevite Zangief, though.

Never change /tg/

>>6324376

Or a pit fighter who never kills. Sure you get laughed at to begin with, but the crowds soon learned to love the Lucha!

Holy shit this is awesome. The next WoD game I play, I'm making a luchador-turned-hunter, modeling him on El Santo.

Ok, more luchador goodness! Can we make a good backstory for playing one in Shadowrun? DH? D&D?

>>6324447

Play him like Minsc with a Mexican accent.

"There be safety in numbers and I am two or three at least!"

>>6324413
Psh, luchadores can kill. There are técnicos and rudos for a reason, you know.

zOMG dorf luchadores:

>>6324481
Ah, but they have no honor!

>>6324467

Dark Heresy

You are a member of an ancient temple society on your homeworld. The Temple teaches that during the Great Crusade the emperor fought a mighty battle on your world. One man decided to aid his lord, but did not believe he was worthy enough to fight alongside the Emperor. So, taking a simple cloth mask and the flag of a fallen soldier as a cloak, he fashioned a new identity for himself. The man was poor, so he had no weapon, but his heart was pure and his fists were strong. It is said that his courage and mighty heart impressed the Emporer, who decreed that from this day forward the masked man would be the defender of his world. The temple seeks only to honour his example.

Once a man joins the temple, he puts aside his old life and dons a mask. From this day forward only the Emperor may see your face, although it is said that the true lesson of the Temple is that the mask should *become* your true face. Weapons are derided, for a man should only trust in the strength of his arm and the courage of his heart. Miraculously, these "Lucha Saints" seem to have an uncanny ability to survive against the odds. Their commanding presence and stoic heroism makes them an example to all who see them in action.

>>6324467
Twiggy El Luchador Asistente used to be your typical runner until one day on a mission in Aztlan (or any setting's Aztec-like civilization), discovered a mystical mask made from leather. It's design was that of a skull, except it was showered in colors red, yellow and blue. It invited the runner in, promising great fortune and fame. Thus the runner put it on and was instantly smitten with the ideas of showmanship, great heart and justice from a chokeslam. A great urge to help those in need, especially the orphans! From then on, Twiggy El Luchador Asistente was born to fight the good, the bad and the supernatural.

I could do better if you gave me a day. But this is what I got so far to work in any setting if it's vague enough.

>>6324533
Nor any strength in their hearts! True strength, you see, comes from a spirit of justice and true lucha, and so los rudos can never be truly strong.

>>6324549
But surely they can be redeemed, such as El Santo to his friend, the Blue Demon.

Alternatively, one could just rip off the Angel episode about the Luchador for a campaign and origin.

>>6324579
But that episode didn't really have an origin for the luchadores. They started somewhere in the middle.

>>6324538

That's a nice background for a Feral World Cleric.

Bump for luchadores.

MUCHA LUCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>You see, he had a character flaw that meant he always had to wear his mask.

Then there's no fucking way he should've been in the same party as a G-Man and a disguise monkey.

You are a bad DM, and you should feel bad for not paying enough attnetion to your players character concepts.

>FBI agent with occasional flashes of the future

You rang?

>>6325505
the lucha could distract :P

>>6325536
"Look Jack, we know you were under alot of stress. You wern't cracken cases like you used to Jack... All I'm sayen is perhaps your bored mind... invented something like what you claim to have seen."

I'm not sayen your a bad person, or even a bad detective, hell your the best we got on the force... I'm just sayen perhaps it's time you took a little vacation? yah know?"

>>6325505
I fail to see your point. Still, fuck you too.

ITT: LUCHADORES!

>>6325536
Sort of like that, only less insane and more obsessed with celebrities.

>>6324574
They still were friendly rivals. Blue Demon was the only one who could beat El Santo in a fair fight, after all.

>>6324634

I... must...stat!!

>>6325936
DO EET!

Dude, just run with it. It's a pulp game. The eccentric warrior of justice is an archetype.

>>6325505
What, because he's not an uptight asshole who lets one player dictate the whole party's feel?

>>6325956
I am running with it, and shit is awesome!

>>6325505
>>6325956
The clear answer is to put more Luchadores in the world.

On the con-side: player feels slightly less special.
On the pro-side:More Luchasdores!

>>6325936

I had an idea for an alternate background in the same sort of format as the Gunmettalican Gunslinger from Inquisitor's Handbook. Gimme some time.

>>6324629
Still decent. Just need to fill the beginning. He was born into a family of luchadores. He inherited the mask from his (great?) grandfather. He and his brothers set out to be wrestlers, instead they took a wrong turn on their way to a show and found a gang of vampires threating a family. With their masks on they set out to stop them ->>>>> plot from angel after wards.

>>6323416
gtfo stop spammin ur shitty board on Дnoпtalk.com u retartet fagit's btw moot log's all ur ip's lulz ur not relly anonimus enjoy ur party v&'s

>>6325998
Works for me.

>>6326004

I SUPPLEX YOUR TALK!

http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=5585808&x=LUCHADORS

>>6325985
There's really no point, seeing as how super-heroes are canon in Ravaged Earth. Masked people with super powers already exist, which is why they kind of reacted like they did to a luchador wrestler walking into a criminal's den.

LUCHADORS!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHYl1eDaSCU&feature=related

>>6325988

How's this?

BACKGROUND PACKAGE: 300xp
Available for Clerics, Guardsman or Assassins.

Characteristics: Increase Fellowship +5, Decrease Ballistic Skill by -5
Skills: You begin play with Charm, Performer (Wrestling),
Talents: Iron Jaw, Leap Up, Street Fighting, Takedown
Equipment: Replace your starting equipment with the following: A Luchadore's costume consisting of a good quality mask, pants and cape. The mask counts as a good quality charm; 1d10 glossy picts of yourself; a burning heart of full of Justice (once per day can count as a single dose of Frenzon)
The Luchadore's Honour (Trait): The Luchadore disdains the use of weapons other than those he was born with. As a result, they must pass a Hard (-20) Willpower test to use any weapon other than his bare hands unless they obviously have no chance of harming their enemy otherwise. Such is their firey passion, hoever, their fists count as 1d5+5 Tearing Impact weapons.
NOTE: A Luchadore's mask is a sacred and holy icon of his faith in the Emperor. The Luchadore cannot allow anyone to see the face beneath it. If for any reason the Luchadore loses his mask, he immediately gainst 2d10 insanity points and 1d5 Corruption points.

>>6326451
He immediately loses 2d10 insanity points and 1d5 corruption points upon regaining his mask though. If that doesn't bring him back to starting value, he's on the road to corruption though.

>>6326451
For some reason, I immediately began to think of fielding a regiment of Catachan luchadores.

Then I realized that using CREEEEEEEEED, I could infiltrate said luchadores. Shit would be so cash.

>>6326688

The noble Luchadore would never infiltrate! Such sneaky behaviour would not befit one of such honour! They would surely challenge the enemy to a duel of strength and wits directly, for such is there way of life!

Of course, Creed could probably somehow drop them behind enemy lines without them knowing. But that may well make him an enemy far worse than the Despoiler.

"CREED MY FRIEND, IT IS WITH HEAVY HEART THAT I MUST REFUSE YOUR ORDER. IT IS AGAINST THE CODE OF THE LUCHA TO ENGAGE IN THE INFILTRATION. I COULD NOT BESMIRCH THE... ¡AY CARAMBA! WHAT MAGIC IS THIS! ONLY A GENIO TÁCTICO COULD.... CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!

My fave is my current group a half elf cleric, an elvish druid, a half elf bard, dwarven fighter, and Orvil the elderly halfling shoe smith with cursed shoed that let him float 3 inches off the ground. He drifts about asleep most of the time, and when he does wake up he is senile and scratches the party members as often as the enemys

never change /tg/! this is just pure awesome

god, I'm trying as hard as I can not to burst out laughing, since I'm supposed to be working on a research paper. Damn you and your Luchadore awesomeness, /tg/

LUCHA LIBRE!

>>6323699

You have the greatest campaign ever. And your players are awesome. Every character sounds awesome but especially the luchador. Seem's like something my best friend would do.

rolled 16 = 16

>>6326688

We need someone to drawfag a luchador going toe-to-toe with a hive tyrant.

>>6329629
Well, I did ask the drawfag from >>6327893 to draw this.

>>6324579
>>6324629
The devil has built a robot. Andale!
