The Carlyle Papers

I am extremely happy with William Farantóir and intend to keep him as is. At least at this point, with my current, very limited understanding of the mechanics of the game. If ever it doesn't pan out as I would like, I hope we can talk about it then, but we shall see at that time (if ever), I guess.

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.

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...

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.

One thing I found handy is if you use this button image.png.3bda5abb903eeeaa0c79b1c96615c45c.png you can post bbcode straight from the old site. Sometimes it does need a little touchup, especially with older code, but it should more or less transfer okay.

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

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."
