Callie Orbani, Blaze of Hope

[CraziFuzzy]

Callie Orbani
NG Female Angelkin Sorcerer (Sphere Sorcerer, Inheritor) 9 / Courser (Nomad) 2; Warden (Empathic Guardian) 7

For centuries, the Orbani family has run The Light of Hope, one of the most prolific philanthropic organizations throughout the multiversal portal network known as the Plexus. Callie, herself, spent 35 years as one of the organizations most successful Flares, bringing aid and restitution to the harmed and displaced wherever they were. It was during this time that she began to truly understand and deepen her connection to Andie Orbani - the distant Angel from whom her family's legacy descends. In this time, she came upon a font of power which allowed Andie to lend much of her angelic grace to Callie. Andie receded back to Elysium, while Callie continued on her path - more potent than ever. She has just completed a 7 year post at the managing council, where she worked to establish more permanent presences in most of the more populated destinations along the Plexus network, and has now decided to go back into the field to establish a stronger presence in Nexus itself. She wishes to use her newfound planeshifting abilities to spread their work to worlds not touched by the more accessible portals of the Plexus.

Notes about her origin

Callie Orbani was a character I created years ago for a similar spheres-based multiversal game by dalamb that never really got off the ground due to RL issues. It was non-gestalt and started at 6th level. I had laid seeds for a number of plot hooks for Callie as that adventure began, and it is from those seeds that I have brought her up to now, gestalted via merging with her conjured ancestral companion, the Angel Andie, and advanced to 9th level. That game used a network of physical portal devices (very Stargate-esque) to travel between worlds - so i decided that these portals still exist in this larger multiverse, but only connect a limited number of the now infinitely numerous accessible worlds.

Her party role

Guardian: Fervently protects and aid others on the battlefield; Inspires others from the vanguard.

Healer: Extensive healing and restorative capabilities; Versatility to adapt to any ailments.

Diplomat: A soothing voice of caring and empathy; She can act as a gateway to new social structures and cultures.

Callie's Home

Callie's recollections of her home are a bit muddled after her assimilation of some of Andie's powers. It's hard for her to distinguish between the familiar manor looking down on the thriving northern trade outpost, and the aerie perched atop the impossible cliffs overlooking the endless natural paradise of Nirvana. It seems both ARE home - and yet - neither are. Her planar travels and continual aid to so many strangers have caused tenuous roots to seek purchase on every new land she visits. Home is where those you care for are - so if you care for all, then isn't everywhere a home? The organization is of great importance to her, but she carries the light of hope within, and while her obligations to her familial legacy were once paramount, she knows now that she cherishes the Light's mission more than the Light of Hope itself.

Callie's Personality

Callie has a very easy way about her. She is exceedingly confident in the abilities she has honed her whole life - which mostly boils down to meeting new people, and getting to the root of what stresses them - and works to alleviate that stressor. She has travelled to countless lands, and always found a way to fit in, and find at least some level of acceptance among the natives. She, at times, has magically altered her form to better emulate the locals - or other times simply used her uniqueness or relative oddity as the ice breaker she needs - the choice often made after some distant observations of the community.

Major Motivations:
Compassion: Her upbringing, and subsequent work with the Light of Hope has well established her decision making processes. Those of lesser means are noble, and if they are hurting more than her, she must alleviate this disparity.

Stability: The organization has, for centuries, relied entirely on the generosity of wealthy benefactors. Those benefactors are fewer in number and means, so her field work's goal has moved beyond simply aiding others, and expanded into the search for more benefactors, and other sources of vital resources to keep the worlds-spanning charitable engine operating.

Fear [secret]: She is haunted by those she was unable to save - this is only amplified by her distant fragmented memories of Andie's seemingly perfect triumphs against the hordes of the abyss, or devils from hell. She is afraid - in fact, she knows - that she is incapable of completing everything she sets out for. She has the internal (and external) strength to push as hard as her mortal body and soul can towards those goals, but every successful endeavor reminds her of the next one she may fail.

Ascension [secret]: The spark of angelic grace now burning brighter than ever in her soul aids in her primary goals, but also illuminates the darker areas yet to be purged of doubts and fear. She feels the disparity between her two halves, and has a strong desire to bring them ever closer to one whole.

Minor Motivations:
Respect: Callie is the heir apparent to her family's legacy. She has been groomed from birth for this role, and she sees no other final stage of her life aside from overseeing the operations of the Light of Hope organization. As the organization has always been seen in such a flawless light, she i accustomed to and often expects a warm and respectful greeting wherever she roams.

Comfort: Callie has never known true hardships - at least not those that often befall the more common people of the worlds. Though the times on the 'road' may be difficult, she always appreciates any bit of extra comfort she can find.

A solid entry thus far and you can't really go wrong with a not-angel/semi-angel in a planar game. If it's not too much trouble, could you describe Callie's personality and world of origin a bit more so that I can get a clearer view of who she is and where she's from?

Oh yeah, I totally intend to. As is the nature of these gestalt games - i get a bit lost in the weeds on choice paralysis for mechanics - so need to just force myself to transition to narrative stuff first.

How frustrating is it that the Henshin/Magical Girl classes on the Spheres wiki aren't actually Spheres classes!

[Saberfan]

It's actually not all that hard to create a Henshin/Magical Girl type of character in Spheres, interestingly enough, it just requires a bit of level-dipping and select talent and archetype choices to emulate. I think there's a Magical Girl conversion out there in the public domain if you'd like me to try and look for it, although I can make no promises about actually finding it.

Nah, I'm fine with how I'm going. Gestalt allows all the options. Really, the thing that i was struggling with is that the physical jump from Mundane to Magical is easy with the Alteration sphere, but getting gear to swap at the same time is more difficult. Honestly, what sort of makes the 'most' sense would be a fusion based conjuration path instead of alteration (there's a 3pp dual sphere feat that streamlines this, but it's prerequisite heavy). Ultimately, the desire for an equipment change was more for cinematic reasons than anything mechanical, so a simple extradimensional storage (x2) will handle an armor swap as a move action, and the shapeshift - makes for a full-round magical transition.

The transition is not really all that important - this didn't start as a magical girl inspiration at all, it is just where the natural transition from the previous version of the character being conjuration heavy to gestalt allowing the dual nature to be in a single character, so thought alteration would make sense.

[CraziFuzzy]

I will continue to do mechanical tweaks indefinitely it seems, but the personality and history and general role and capabilities is pretty well set.

[Saberfan]

If you make any major mechanical changes, please make a note of them since Callie's statblock is one of the next to be deconstructed as I delve deep into the reviewal process.

Gotcha. I think the choices are about set - but needing to freshen up the math on a lot of the options from changes made (saves, bab, ac, etc).
