My thoughts on Barbossa

Again feel free to tell me your thoughts, your own sex appeal rating or what ever else comes into your mind, like if you need more explanation or if I have been to vague so that my sentences do not make any sense.

What's behind my rating system

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Brainpower:

How clever the character is, one would be utterly stupid, characters who thrive on luck and never pause to think about what they are doing. The middle would be aimed at characters, who can see and act upon the obvious, but are not overly smart, although they might be creative in certain situations. The end of the scale is reserved for those who make little to no mistakes, think everything through and usually stay one step ahead of their enemies.

Physical:

How physical characters are, are they pure brains and avoid physical work and fights. Than they would probably go more towards a one or two, while the middle would be more for characters who mainly instruct or avoid physical challenges when possible. The more active charactes are and get their hands dirty the more likely they will be rated at the end of this scale.

Skill:

If the character is good at his profession, he will have a fair amount of stars. Should his skills go beyond the ordinary for his profession or life-style he probably will raise even more stars. Those who are not very competent at their job and have little to make up for it, will no doubt get one or two stars at most.

Presence:

How well the character can intimidate, lead or seduce other characters, a character with a low rating will no doubt need alternative means to get to his goals. Characters with high rating, usually can sway a situation just by being there and impressing the hell out of everyone.

Sex Appeal:

Definitely the most subjective rating point here, as it is not based on any facts or popular statistics, it is how attractive I find the character at hand. Low rating indicates that I find the character not very appealing, while from seven on you can be sure I would not dump the character out of my bed. As I usually find characters I like also very attractive (even though some might not think of them as appealing) this is probably the one section that will get the most golden stars.

Toughness:

A factor that is tied in a little bit with physical, but goes more about how well the character can take damage. Sometimes that is emotional but more often physical. Is it hard to kill him? Is the character virtually indestructable? All of course in relation to the fandom. Because otherwise I would need a larger scale to make up between the
difference of a machine, a vampire and ordinary mortals.

Badness/Goodness:

Depending on wether the characters is a good guy or one of the baddies, I will rate how good or bad they are. Villains with little malice will get fewer stars than those who are willing to destroy other without mercy. Same goes for heroes, those who are willing to risk a high body count will not rate high, while those who are caring about those around them and only go after the guilty ones will certainly rate higher. But also other factors go in this. A selfish hero will have less stars than a villain, who should be selfish.
