The FASERIP system was first published by TSR in the Marvel Super Heroes RPG in 1984, and later expanded in the Marvel Superheroes Advanced Game in 1986. The game proved very popular, its easy and flexible system allowed for all levels of play from street level crimefighters to cosmic campaigns. Whilst the original games are decades out of print the system has continued to be available through a range of retroclones and has an active fan community online.

I’ve been playing the game since the 80’s and it’s one of my favourite systems. Whilst the game was originally for the Marvel universe I used to convert a load of other superheroes/villains from other comics and shows to the system to incorporate into my games. That’s something that has stayed with me and I love being able to drop cameo, or ongoing, appearences of characters that originate elsewhere in to my games. In this series of articles I’m converting a number of characters from TV shows and comics to the FASERIP system for a bit of fun.

First up I’ll be looking at some of the characters from The Boys, a dark satirical comic and TV series created by Gareth Ennis and Darick Robinson which began life at Wildstorm Comics before moving to Dynamite Entertainment.

Roleplaying Notes

Kimiko Miyashiro is a complex character; resilient, a quiet strength, and a deep emotional core. Initially introduced as a traumatized and feral captive of Vought, she communicates through expressive gestures and actions rather than words.

Despite her violent past and extraordinary physical abilities, Kimiko is gentle at heart, showing tenderness toward children, her brother, and especially Frenchie, with whom she shares a profound bond. She struggles her identity, seeing her powers as both a curse and a tool for protection, while yearning for a normal life free from bloodshed. Kimiko is brave, fiercely loyal, and empathetic, often grounding the Boys with her quiet humanity.
