History CompositeCharacter / TabletopGames

** Myrmidia, a goddess depicted as an armored and spear-wielding warrior, who presides on war and tactics and has strong association with the southern nations, themselves counterparts to the post-Roman Mediterranean, is very similar to Athena. Through her mythology as a deity who incarnated as a mortal to return to her people and lead to greatness before being killed by a traitor and returning to her divine status, alongside a Tower of Babel equivalent in one version of Tylos' fall, she also has definite parallels to Jesus.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': The name of the sea god Manan is derived from Manannán mac Lir, sometimes shortened to Manann, the Irish god of the sea, but he's otherwise chiefly based on Poseidon in personality and appearence.

* Done in ''TabletopGame/VictoryInThePacific'' with locales instead of people. To keep the game manageable, a lot of island bases of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII are combined. E.g. Lae represents multiple bases on the northern half of New Guinea, Saipan also represents Guam & Tinian, Pearl Harbor & Yokosuka Naval Yard stand-in for all of Hawaii & Japan respectively, etc.
* In the ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' TCG, the "Kozmo" archetype is a [[JustForFun/XMeetsY Mash-up]] of ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' and each card depicted is based on a combination characters/object/settings from each source. This trope applies when a card draws inspiration from multiple things from the same source.
** Kozmo Goodwitch is a composite of the good witches from ''Oz'' and Obi-Wan from ''Star Wars'', with elements of Qui-Gon Jinn from the latter (her lightsword is green like Qui-Gon's, and her robes take some inspiration from his).
** Similarly, Kozmoll Wickedwitch combines elements of the wicked witches with Darth Maul (using his distinctive dual-bladed lightsaber) and Darth Vader (she appears at least partially cybernetic).
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' had a couple of Composite ''Species'':
** Second edition had the Greyhawk dragon, which was unique to the ''TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}}'' setting, and the steel dragon (sometimes the Waterdeep dragon) from ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms''. Both were metallic-grey dragons with a fondness for human society and the ability to take humanoid form to join it. When the Greyhawk dragon was updated to 3.5 edition in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine, there was a note that some members of the race had ventured beyond Oerth, where they were known as steel dragons.
** Harpies in the game combine the mythological harpy with the siren. They resemble the mythical harpies in appearance (ugly hag-like women with the legs and wings of a vulture) but they had powers and an MO similar to sirens, using entrancing song to lure victims to them.
* In the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' canon, Moloch replaced Lilith as the ruler of the Sixth Circle, and later was himself replaced by Malagard, the Hag Countess, an adviser who recommended that he defy Asmodeus to his face. ''TabletopGame/TheGatesOfHell'' fan supplement instead has Lilith as triune so that she can serve the role of the Hag Countess.
* According to the 1985 ''Series/DoctorWho'' RPG, the Meddling Monk was a previous [[TheNthDoctor incarnation]] of the Master. This does not appear to be the case in any other version of the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse.
* In the ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'' fan expansion "Davies' World of Freedom 3.5", when introducing the characters from ''The ALGERNON Files'', Davies completely dumps Isaac Steele's canonical heroic identity as Technomancer in favour of making him Dr [=McQuark=] from the ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' supplement ''The Blood and Dr [=McQuark=]''.
* In-universe, believed to be the case for the ''Timber Wolf'' upon its first appearance in the Inner Sphere in ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' lore. It combines the excellent energy-based direct fire capability of the ''Marauder'' (whose serial codes start with 'MAD') and the withering missile-based indirect fire of the ''Catapult'' (serial code 'CAT'). Ergo, Inner Sphere analysts originally believed it to be a fusion of the two 'Mechs, and called it ''Mad Cat'' as a result. Out-of-universe, it's quite possible that FASA literally ''did'' attach ''Marauder'' arms to a ''Catapult'' chassis to create this design, as the popular and iconic ''Marauder'' was [[ScrewedByTheLawyers stuck in copyright litigation hell thanks to Harmony Gold]] and they had to make use of the design rights somehow.

* In the ''TabletopGame/DiscworldRoleplayingGame'' Port Duck setting, Brick's Cafe Ankh-Morporkian is a pastiche of Rick's Cafe Americain in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''; however Brick is just the troll doorman. As revealed in [[http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=4303 "A Little Job for the Patrician,"]] the actual owner is Dooli the Arranger, so named not just because he runs deals but because he also leads the house band. He's a combination of Rick Blaine and Sam (played by Dooley Wilson.)

* Many characters in ''TabletopGame/DianaWarriorPrincess'', based around a future TV show that sees the last 500 years as a TimeOfMyths to draw from, and seems to assume that only one royal could ''possibly'' have a certain name. Diana was married to "Prince Charles", so that must be [[UsefulNotes/HanoverStuartWars Bonnie Prince Charlie]]; Charles's mother is [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII Queen Elizabeth]], who must be [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI the same one]] whose sister was [[UsefulNotes/MaryTudor Queen Mary]]; and that sister must be UsefulNotes/MaryOfScotland.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': The Greek-inspired world of Theros features Heliod, the Sun God, who is a blend of Zeus and Helios: He gets his position as (nominal) TopGod, and having a spear as his WeaponOfChoice, while his name and sun-connection come from Helios. He also combines the absolute ''worst'' personality traits of either, making him into one of the biggest JerkassGods in any ''Magic'' setting.
