Rorschach's biggest flaws are his extreme anti-social behaviour and the fact he's insane, I would have thought...
He has an aversion to sex because his Mother was a prostitute. I'm not sure I'd call that sexist. Not sure where you get racist from, either...
He has no Occult skills (There is no magic in the Watchmen universe), but I think Streetwise should be higher.

Well, it's Rorschach with modifications. He has occult because he hunts supernaturals (which he knows that he does). The sexist/racist part is sort of blurred in the serie because he hates EVERYONE... It was a theory brought in to the character because I can play on that though.
What do you think of his virtue/vice combination? My virtue is either Justice or fortitude. The vices are the seven deadly sins, and finding one is almost always a [Censored].

I think Fortitude works better for a Rorschach type. He just does NOT give up, come what may! His idea of Justice, though, is a little extreme by most people's standards...

Yeah, but he does focus heavily on dishing out that justice. Another question. You see those filled squares to the left of Investigation and empathy? Those are sort of tag skills (they're not really called tag skills, but that term works well enough for you to grab their concept) that is connected to his profession (detective). Now, on level 2 professional training (which he does have, since the description of detective level 1 is Closeau ) you get another tag skill. Any suggestion on which this should be? I've been thinking socialize! Übereil

I'd probably go with Subterfuge, honestly. 'Secret identity' and all that. Plus at level one he's not that GOOD at it, which kinda suits Rorschach... ;D

A proffesional skill is something he IS good at. I think I ended up with streetwise.

That works. After his own fashion, he certainly is that...

Interesting stats there, Ube. I guess you can sort of count Occult, given that Rorschach is the guy that scares Moloch the Mystic. ;D I'm actually cool with "Justice" as a virtue, even if it's twisted. However, I don't think Rorschach's vice is so much Pride as extreme Wrath. This guy is angry at a lot of people. He hates anyone who crosses his idea of justice and decency, and he will destroy them with righteous fury. He has no room for things like mercy and compassion in his worldview. If there's any item I think should be through the roof with Rorschach, though, it's Willpower. "Even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise." ;D

Well, he does have five in resolve... IIRC I dumped occult (we have another guy in the group who has loads and loads of dots in it anyway...). I also made him a slasher and added two feats (one that makes him able to silent kill pepole directly, instead of just doing extra damage and another that makes him able to use anything as a melee weapon). I now have to add a severe derangement and there's something else too... Oh well, I'll ask the DM about it. Will be back with suggestions of severe derangements later. The core rulebook didn't have any interesting/fitting ones but my brother claims there is this book called asylum that he has as a PDF file... Übereil
