Concept - a freelance mobster who specializes in smuggling and making moonshine, fights against those who think they can control or bend other people to their will - be they cops, politicians, or eldritch deities and their scions Quick backstory - Buck is the son of Diyonisus and a mortal fashion model named Narcisa Ricci. The Ricci family has had a long history of connection to the theoi, which helped them preserve their power as a noble family throughout the generations - and more recently, as a crime family. Narcisa didnt want her son to grow up in the mob, so she travelled around the US and tried to raise him alone, while doing her best to avoid her past - that is, until it came back in the form of 8 bullets to the chest from an old family rival. Buck was taken care of by his many cousins, who took him under their wind and taught him the family business, hoping to one day harness his unique skills in service to the Boss. After a couple of years, Buck realised that he liked the mobster lifestyle - but on his terms only, as a way to fight those who looked down on him and his kind his whole life. So he submitted his resignation in the form of a hand grenade and jumped out of the window, striking out on his own, ready to go wherever the wind and the wine will take him.

When you enter an antagonistic conversation even beings who have made war since the beginning of Creation start to see the other's point of view. When you do this, Imbue For Scale to bring the conflict to a peaceful resolution. Sage: ** Fatebinding Roles: Apprentice, Jinx, Traitor Omniglot Translation: When you converse in or read a foreign language, your communication is flawless, without a trace of an accent. You can turn out translations in your native language in a matter of minutes without needing to roll. If you are translating mystical runes or the handwriting of Gods, you still do so swiftly, but must make a Knack Skill roll. Presence Of Magic: You always know when you are near an object or place of true magical or sacred power. How this manifests is up to you. Ask the Storyguide if an object is magical or sacred, and she must tell you honestly “yes” or “no.” This bypasses the need to make any kind of Occult roll to identify a place or object of magical or sacred power. Trickster: * Fatebinding Roles: Boon Companion, Nemesis, Traitor Rumor Miller: Your lies catch on like wildfire, and you need only make the smallest post on social media to get a wild rumor circulating. Make a Knack Skill roll — any successes delivers the rumor about the target to those who should hear it — his boss, his husband, his best friends, etc.   Birthrights   Blood Ruby Silver Necklace Type: Relic (**) Motif: Where wealth goes, minds follow Purviews: Earth, Prosperity Flaw: Once per arc, Supay requires a favor, gaining the Paying Tribute Condition Quipu Type: Relic (**) Knack: Gain access to the Overworld Knowledge Knack, as long as you have at least a few minutes to read the quipu Knack: You can dismiss the quipu into thin air as a simple action, and summon it back again the same way Flaw: If the user’s Intellect is less than 5, he suffers a Complication on all rolls using the quipu with a rank equal to (5 − his Intellect). If not bought off, the Storyguide provides one extra piece of information that you didn’t ask for, but one of the answers is false and the Storyguide doesn’t tell you which one. This Complication doesn’t apply to characters with at least one dot in the Sage Calling. Ancestor Mummy Type: Guide (****) Asset Skills: Culture, Leadership Guide Stunt (1-3s): The Storyguide assigns your character a task that’s doable within the current scene. If you succeed at the task, gain Momentum equal to successes spent; if you try but fail, gain one extra Momentum. If you don’t try at all by the end of the scene, the Storyguide adds Tension to the pool equal to successes spent. Calling: Sage Unique Knack: You may safely invoke this guide one additional time per session for its access connection. Sling Of Illapa Type: Relic (***) Motif: The flash and fury of a thunderstorm Purviews: Sky Enhancement: +1 to Combat rolls Flaw: If the user’s Dexterity is less than 5, he suffers a Complication on all rolls using the sling with a rank equal to (5 − his Dexterity).   Purviews/Boons Darkness (Innate) Innate: You can see in total darkness, even magical darkness. You can also see into someone's dreams by watching them sleep Night's Caress (Cost: Imbue 1 Legend; Duration: One Scene; Subject: One character or multiple trivial characters; Range: Short; Action: Simple) You can lull a character to sleep over the course of a few seconds, as long as they are not in combat or a similarly high stakes situation. They remain asleep until at least the end of the scene unless attacked by enemies or magically awakened. You can put multiple trivial targets to sleep as long as they are in this Boon’s range, and can do so even in combat. Earth Innate: As long as you are standing on the ground (the bottom floor of a building counts) or an earthen surface, you cannot be forcibly moved from your location by any amount of physical force, and gain Enhancement 1 on Might and Stamina rolls. Pachakutic (Innate) Innate: You may sense huacas, or sacred sites, within (Legend) miles. These sites include Touchstones, sacred spaces of another pantheon or shrines to other Scions or Gods, but also a general awareness situational Sanctums and an understanding of the conditions necessary to generate those Sanctums. You may also sense the flow of energies through the earth and sky, allowing you to perfectly determine the weather. When in the presence of the sacred and making an appropriate sacrifice (Hero pg 188, this Purview grants you intuitive knowledge of what an appropriate sacrifice entails), you may benefit from minor sacrifices once per short-term Deed rather than once per story arc. This innate power will not reveal gates or axes mundi. Prosperity Innate: Whenever you exploit your wealth or financial status to influence someone, treat their Attitude towards you as one point higher. This does not stack with other magical Attitude bonuses. Sky Innate: You have perfect foreknowledge of the weather and climate around you up to at least a day in advance, and may ignore any Complications imposed by rain, wind, or other hazardous weather. Bolt From The Blue (Cost: Spend One Legend; Duration: Instant; Subject: All enemies in one range band; Range: Medium; Action: Simple) You call down a bolt of lightning, rolling an attack with (highest Power Attribute) + Occult. It has the Aggravated, Ranged, and Shockwave tags. You can use this Boon to attack enemies inside a building, but it provides a Defense bonus: from +1 for a one-story building with a light wooden roof to +5 for a skyscraper with a lightning rod affixed to it.

I have been playing on the site for a while. I might try reformatting everything tp the new site. Just need a few hours to get this working. But that tool is nice if I can't get some things to work properly.  

So, I got Venni done a couple days ago, brainstorming connections. I can see him as someone who has talked with anyone in the Band who has dealt with the lower classes fairly, he's a bit of a living urban legend and known for "You got weird problems? Call up Sokolov Bakery, they can help."

Got him done, minus derived stats!

Concept: Forest witch who became a political agitator in college.   Origin: Heir to Witchcraft The Zubikhas are an old clan for whom Sorcery is their business - diviners, mostly, but to be frank they've become so intertwined with the hidden world that they understand the public one largely academically. Which they are good at, but one always gets a sense of talking with a curious stranger when meeting someone raised among them, even if they've been in town their whole life. Venni is a bit more down to earth than his family, but he still see things in terms of politics and economics...which also means he's one the least racist and sexist persons you could ever meet, he's aloof enough and experienced in the dead to know that at their core, we're all human. Just don't ask him about nobility and inherited wealth.   Skills: Empathy, Persuasion, Survival (Tertiary) Connections: Extended Family, Eastern European Emigrants, Scholars Who Recognize His Clan   Society: Well-Educated Union Rep and Revolutionary (Related to Saint) Veniamin is something of a black sheep in his family due to his practical, massively pragmatic nature, but it wasn't bad - they just realized he wasn't one who would enjoy being the cunning man in the woods you go to for advice and solving the curses of other sorcerers. No, he was an urban creature, one of the middle classes, and desired the Scholomance for the education. To help him, his family pulled on some strings for him to attend a university in a local lord's last name, where he met a few early Communists who promptly enthralled him - and he became aware of just how much of a terrible leader Nicolas II was, along with the stupidity of divine right. He jumped into socialism with both feet, but unlike too many of his contemporaries, Venni is willing to accept movement and partial victory - he quickly became something of a union representative even as he settled into his mother's "specialty shop", quietly advising strikers and workers on the best ways to resist and get rights - and since cracking the art of Summoning, also helping with security.   Skills: Academics, Culture, Leadership (Primary) Connections: Old Classmates and Professors, Leftist Political Movements, Labour Unionists   Role (Pantheon): Necromantic Family Business There has always been a cynical edge to the Zubikhas' role in their community, and its transferred to their branch families; they're good at what they do, and they expect to paid for it, or at least respected. They aren't heartless, they're prone to charity when genuinely touched or faced with someone who needs their expertise but can't pay, but a la fairy tales, rudeness and entitlement is a good way to have a curse laid on your head. They're artisans of magic, and they expect to be treated as such - quite literally, as zagovory is a craft that relies somewhat on poetry and singing, prayer is simply an aspect of that. Now that several branches are in the United States, they've opted to not change what ain't broke and opened "curiosity shops" that are entirely deliberately unsubtle places for the occult-interested to look into magic, and potential blessings. As far as his official job goes, Venni is a cashier, accountant, and translator for his mother, the official owner of their new backery business (under her long-dead husband's name of course - it's so convenient when you can seance a signature if needed), and his primary teacher in sorcery, with the younger of his two sisters (his twin, actually) being the cook (and no, she doesn't do gingerbread houses - they're not that cliche).   Skills: Integrity, Occult, Subterfuge (Secondary) Connections: Customers, Antiquarians, Local Supernatural Community   Short-Term Deed: Find a full grimoire so as to not have to rely on cribbed notes and oral lore from his mom.   Long-Term Deed: Start a sorcerer's apprenticeship with someone part of the labor unions he assists (Society)   Skills   Academics 3 (Mathematics), Culture 3 (Political Literature), Leadership 3 (Inspiring Rhetoric)   Integrity 2, Occult 3 (Eastern European Occultism), Subterfuge 2   Empathy 2, Persuasion 3 (The Voice of Reason), Survival 1   Technology 1   Attributes:   Favored Approach: Power   Mental (Primary): Intellect 5, Cunning 3, Resolve 4   Social (Secondary): Presence 4, Manipulation 2, Composure 3   Physical (Tertiary): Might 3, Dexterity 3, Stamina 1   Workings   Motif: Zagovory (Through prayer, poem, song, and faith, I may shape the sound of the world's being into enchantments.), Necromancy (By wielding pieces of corpses and the remains of those passed on, I can command dead spirits to perform magic.)   Source of Power: Prohibition (Cannot break the letter of a promise, of any kind, and must make it clear he is refusing a promise when he doesn't want one.)   Divination: Read the Signs, Synchronicity, Pronouncement   Summoning: Familiar Spirit, Evocation, Forces of Nature   Callings (Sainted Sorcerer)   Leader, Saint, Sage   (All one dot due to him being a full Sorcerer)   Virtues   Found [ ] [ ] [*] [ ] [ ] Wayward   Knacks:   Leader: Captain of Industry   Saint: It Is Not In Heaven   Sage: Office Hours   Paraphernalia (Birthrights)   Tooth-Knife (Relic ***): It's said that any practitioner of zagovory needs a full set of teeth to fully embody the life force and voice that is needed for their magic, but if a few are missing, a knife can substitute. This knife has a tooth knocked out from an ancestor who died with all of his, infused with his knowledge, although Venni still has all his teeth, and has his ancestral knowledge of how to speak to everything in it. (+1 Enhancement to Sorcery rolls, Boon: Dvoeverie Innate Power)   Dockworkers Union (Followers ***): By this point, a lot of the local work unions are aware the strange, spirited Russian has a bit of power beyond mere charisma - and they want that on their side. It helps that what spread the rumors initially were a group of Pinkertons who were amassing for a massive break suddenly vanishing for a few days and then reappearing with no clothes but soiled underwear, pale as sheets, and suddenly very sympathetic to the plight of immigrants (after they were coaxed out of a church). So they help him out, especially when he needs heavy lifting for larger rituals and schmoozing out potential "acquisitions" he needs. (Heavy, Tags; Entourage Archetype, Group, Helpful)   Mama (Guide *): Aglaya Sokolov is far more of a mystic than her son, and recognized his suddenly burgeoning talent as a connection to the Gods and their natures, as well as a growing sense of his own connection to Rod. So if anything she's become more involved with him, and is surprisingly hard to avoid for an old woman who is notoriously bad with English (or given how she is a skilled diviner, maybe not that surprising). (Asset Skill: Culture, Guide Stunt (1-3 successes): Gain an Enhancement equal to successes spent to the next roll you make in the current session while taking an action that slides you away from the center of your Virtue track.)

That's so nice, thanks a lot for pointing that out !

Okay, got Venni's backstory up. I realized that someone who is that much of a spirited Communist is probably also a Saint, with his Found Virtue advocating direct action, Wayward compromise and accepting frustration. I do not plan on him being political all the time, he's more than willing to hear out anyone who has a premise of "protect innocents"; that indicates they aren't completely heartless. It's just that he sees capitalism as feeding a very dark strain of magic as well as a brutal system, so for him, it ties into his magical style as "emissaries of the workers willing to serve their class beyond death." EDIT: He's heavily based on an indie game called The Hammer And Stake, for the record - Communist Idealists Versus Dracula, essentially.

Image Spoiled For Size: Show this Illustration by deWitteillustration Name: Veniamin Sokolov Yulinovich (goes by "Venni" for short) Pantheon: Bogvoi God: None directly, though he invokes Veles a lot. Is a Saint and a Sorcerer. (Working, crunch on the sheet later) The Sokolov clan of Konotop, besides being (by their own admittance) Russians that do an adequate Ukrainian pantomime, are a branch of the Zubikhas, a family long associated with the occult. They like to say the first real Zubikha was in the second graduating class of the Scholomance, the academy of dark magic and natural sciences said to have trained Dracula and run by the Devil, and every generation has had one member at least scouted. They like to imagine they are the reason Konotop is known for its witches in a rather famous satirical short story, with the Sokolovs just a branch that became more associated with Moscovites and the "big brothers" until they were mostly ethnic Russians. The business didn't change; the Zubikha have a talent for zagovory, Slavic prayer magic, in particular the necromantic aspects. Prayer magic in general, mind - they assimilated Orthodox Christianity as well, though the main part is the bones and the ancestors. They have long been the professional conjurers and curse-breakers of their communities, and engines of fairness against the boyars and noblemen. Veniamin was looking forward to inheriting the business - and expanding it to more political ends, as unlike his apolitical and mostly salt-of-the-Earth family, Venni was an adventurous and bookish lad who turned his growing magic to forcing his way into a full education, where he met several dissidents against the idea of the Tsar, won over by Marx's promise of a classless society without the alienation he felt as a minor black sheep of a feared family. He feels sorcerers and Saints are emissaries of a New Man that exists as equals and peers to the divine rather than servants, and sees education in magic as the most sure and ethical way of "equalization of the mystical" - unlike more stereotypical Communists, Veniamin is no atheist, though he is someone who sees the divine as something that should be comrades, not kings. (It helps he's met the divine.) That's part of why he and the entire Zubilkha clan left when they took one look into the future, and saw Lenin. And what would come after him. And realized they were but a single extended family, and some of their allies. So the vast majority, including Venni himself, emigrated and joined other Eastern European communities shortly after the end of WWI, forcing Venni to turn down a term at the Scholomance and become a true man-of-many-talents in favor of helping the evacuation and starting up the new business in America. And he is bitter - not just for the denial of what would be the apogee of his mundane and supernatural learning, but because it was for legitimate reason. He loathes what is happening for his homeland and the betrayal of the ideal in favor of rage and imperial ego. He especially loathes the growing anti-Semitism, which he views as a cancer in and of itself as well as personally cruel - the Anticapitalism of Fools, as he puts it. Which is why he catalyzed from a mere conjuror to a wizard capable of standing shoulders with true chosen of Heaven. This idealistic rage focused him, drove him, sharpened him, until he understood not just how to speak to the dead for the sake of divination and curse breaking, but call them into new flesh, and to commune with other, less human comrades And how to speak to people in a way that always was listened to - and to neutralize the power of the unjust and unfair systems of Fate. Realizing what happened to him, he's since gone from "the keeper of that creepy shop" to "union agitator" - because he's realized that there are horrors who want the horrific status quo of the depression to remain without change or social safety nets. Literal ones. Ones that are far more literal predators on the proletariat. And ones that need his magic to break the hold they have on not just the means of production, but the soul.

Paths Cursed to Live Ilse was never a sickly child, despite the number of illnesses. At 8, she and much of her class contracted small pox; 12 died, but she recovered not without some marks. Then came the summer when her whole family contracted polio. She recovered quickly, but it left her brother crippled and her mother dead. Her father died of Typhoid Fever, and Ilse was bed-ridden for nearly six months. By her later teen years, she had moved to live with her unmarried aunt in Bavaria, where she survived measles, several bouts of influenza, and finally cholera which felled her aunt, leaving her as a young lady with fortune, but no family. The only person that lived through it as well was her doctor, Freiderich Hochfelder; meanwhile hundreds remembered their friend whole didn't join them in Helheim. Aerial Photographer With her family wealth, she purchased an aeroplane and learned to fly. By the time the Great War broke out, she was a good pilot. She joined the Austrian Air Service, buying 7 planes to earn her place. While she was never allowed to fly combat missions, she earned respect by flying reinforcement airplanes to the front lines, and photographing military formations of the Italian army and navy. She is credited with shooting down 2 airplanes with a handgun by shooting the pilots. Another plane crashed after her landing gear tore off the top wing of a biplane which spiraled out of control. She never managed to claim the title of Ace Pilot, but she came very close.  Storm over Elvinder Early March 1917, Ilse was flying a new Lohner B to the airfield, when a storm developed in the alps. She pointed the plane due north and flew for many long hours, buffeted by high winds and cold weather. She found a lone manor in a flat plain, and took the biplane down to the ground. She surrendered to the shades and skeletons that surrounded her plane, before she was brought before Hel. Since Hel couldn't leave her home, she brought Ilse to her. Hel complimented her on surviving all the diseases sent her way. She would have kept her in Elvinder forever, had the shades of several friends and family members not spoken and demanded her release, as Ilse was neither elderly nor sick. Returning to the plane, she flew out again, back into the storm before breaking out of the clouds into a winter landscape where she could safely land and refuel.

Start your own thread in Investigators and we'll take a look at what you've all got!

Scion's been on my list of "Games I Need to Try Sometime" so I wanna throw a hat in. Concept: Amelia Cadwalader, pilot extraordinaire and scion of {probably Irish since nobody put a Welsh option out?} who actually IS King Arthur's reincarnation come back to save England in her darkest hour... aka WWII. So ya know still sometime off but you don't just start out the greatest and that's where this story comes in...

Up for a player? I'm interested in an idea for a Sorcerer - a Russian scholar who's actually a sorcerous disciple of the Bogvoi who fled the growing chaos of revolution along with a bunch of his coven - they're people who were nearly part of the Scholomance, but the Cultural Revolution was too chaotic even for them, especially when they checked the future and saw the USSR, deciding their friends and families did not deserve to suffer the constant paranoia. Ironically he's a full self-admitted Communist; he sees true sorcery as "seizing the means of mythological production" and thus, teaching it is a socialist obligation to unlock full ability of a wonder-worker - he just doesn't think what will happen back in the motherland is true Communism, and besides he can do more good in the States given the ominous economic catastrophe; people are going to need his magic to survive the Depression. When it comes to the Nyarlathotep cultists, he's going to see a menace produced by the elite and offer his services.
