Wherein your humble scribe presents an NPC for use with Basic RolePlaying.
Fujiwara Shigeki is world renown as the lunatic daredevil who will scale any building, anywhere, regardless of the dangers involved. His broken English, his emphatic shouts of “Go For It!” when confronted with a challenge, and his obsession with Henry Mancini’s “Baby Elephant Walk” have endeared him to his fans across the globe. This absurd ascender is currently in training to tackle four skyscrapers in Chicago, where he plans to offer his fans a chance to impede his efforts by throwing flower pots, buckets of water and fruit at him from various windows throughout the structures.

Okay, so this is one of those classic video game inspired characters, right?

Yep, this is another arcade hero. This time I went back to one of the lesser known favorites of my youth, Crazy Climber. I played it in the arcades whenever I saw it, but mostly I played it on the tabletop version my neighbor had.
