Forum:White Death

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share someone I had an idea to base my character off of. For those of you who don't know, Simo Hayha, aka the White Death, was a sniper during World War I. He wasn't affiliated with the military, in fact he was just an untrained farmer. But over the course of the war, he killed over 750 men single-handedly, 550 with his sniper rifle, and over 100 with his SMG. He just hid up in a tree every day for years wearing all white, taking out Russian shock squads sent specifically to find him without batting an eye. As proof of how badass this guy is, a week before the war ended, he was shot in the face with an exploding shell, had half his head blown off... and lived with no permanent damage. This makes him badass of the century in my book. So badass, in fact, that I decided to base my small guns character off of him. I'm outfitting my self with my unlimited condition O:A sniper rifle, the Ultra SMG, Jingwei's Shocksword, and winterized combat armor with helmet. I've yet to try it on some enemies. Please comment, or post if you have ever RP'd your character as a real life person. Broeman 02:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I read it was over 200 kills with his SMG. --MadDawg2552 18:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I based my fourth fallout character, T-800, off of the robot from "Terminator: Judgement Day". He is my most powerful character, having maximum strength, intelligance, endurance, agility, and perception, but has only one point in charisma and luck. He masters energy weapons, small guns, explosives, repair, medicine, science, and big guns. He also gains skill points twice as fast as my other characters. He has netural karma and his best solution to everything is to "terminate" the problem.

I also have another charcter called Braveheart, who based off the scottish hero, William Wallace. He has high endurance, strength, charisma, and intelligence. He has mastered the skills of melee weapons, speech, unarmed, and has some points in big guns. My equipment with this character includes a super sledge, shiskebab, Fisto!, vengance, a flamer, and combat armour. The first thing I did after creating Braveheart was going to tenpenny tower and kicking tenpenny english ass off the balcony, then leading roy phillips and the ghouls into tenpenny tower. FREEDOM!!! -Xandus the Legend

BTW, movie was so innacurate. Wallace was actually a fatass that did no fighting at all. Broeman 00:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC) It's T-1000, not T-800. Pararaptor 06:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Dammit! I always mix up nubers! -Xandus the Leegend

His kill count seemed plausible if you're average is about 4-5 people a day. But that is pretty sick, not going to lie. And as for one of my characters.. I based a character off the fictional protagonist from the 'Outlaw Star' series, Gene Starwind. A SmallGuns and Energy weapon specialist (because the series is geared towards futuristic warfare) with fortified attributes towards endurance and perception, and all I use are mostly energy pistols/rifles lol. But i do not have a real life character who actually existed. D: Xdarkdragonx 00:44, 21 March 2009 (UTC) Dragon

BTW, on wikipedia, it says his average was 5 ppl a day. Broeman 16:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I might base my next character on William Shakespear. High in Perception, Intelligence, perhaps luck etc.. but typically low in anything martial or physical. How long will I last?

Perhaps also [Gordon Brown], low in Charisma, perception, luck and intelligence. He looks a fairly strong man but I doubt he'd be good in a fight. I guess he's good at bartering. I think his main weapon would be the mesmetron AKA boring people to death.

To the original poster, what is your source on this info of the White Death? From what I'm reading on wikipedia (i know not a great source) he was enlisted in the military and fought during World War II, and not WWI. Not saying you're wrong, but I'd just like to know :D.

♠ Just to be a tad more specific, though he DID serve in World War II, it was not in WWII where he established his reputation. It was the Winter War between Finland and Russia that saw Hayha rack up the kills. By the time he fought in the Winter War, he had already finished his 1-year requirement of military service, and was then working as a farmer, but he was recalled to active service when the Soviets came rolling in. But all that aside, he was probably the greatest sniper of all time. Especially when you consider one VERY impressive fact about him: HE NEVER USED A SNIPER SCOPE. So when Soviet snipers were sent to take him out and the White Death sent them all back in bodybags...he did so with the regular iron sights of his Russian-made rifle, knowing full-well that the tiny glint of light that a sniper scope makes was what helped him take out so many Russian snipers. So if you plan on making a character that stays true to Hayha, then you might want to try doing so with a hunting rifle instead of a sniper rifle. Just a thought. Hope that helps. Cheers!

Yes, I knew he used an unscoped rifle, and I knew I said the wrong war [sry, couldn't remember the name]. I never considered using a hunting rifle. Maybe I'll try that. Broeman 12:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

♠ At low levels sniping with a Hunting Rifle is just sweet. But if at higher levels you find it's a bit underpowered, you could still go for Lincoln's Repeater. I know that technically it's a lever rifle, but at least you get some great firepower without having to use a sniper scope. If it's too 'Western-style' you could also consider using Ol' Painless from the Republic of Dave. Not quite as powerful, but at least it gives slightly more kick than a regular Hunting rifle. Cheers!

Xanadus, why would a T-1000 be good at any guns? He only uses a pistol in a brief scene in the film, & not very well at that. Besides which, nobody wants to see him just shooting people, they want to see him go Edward-Scissorhands on Sarah Connor's arse.

I myself did a pretty good job of Kevin Bacon, but only to make him eat groovy snacks while I listened to Footloose.
