Character Concept Conversations!

Post by Surtur »

Hey Mage Players,

Inari asked me to make sure you have a place to talk about your concepts;

So here you are!

Let's work on some cooperative storytelling here. These sorts of discussions can really help towards Cabal/Tie Building, also, since I'm nosy I'll get to see all the cool concepts that come into play!

The Thunderbolt Guardian known to the Wise as Crucible had her Awakening as a Mastigos in the days just before the War, and she has been fighting it ever since. A psychology student-turned-dominatrix in her Sleeping life, two decades of mystical conflict have shaped her into a terrifying vision of allure and cruelty.

Crucible works as a brutal interrogator for the Pentacle forces, as well as a healer, trainer, and taskmaster. 6'1 in bare feet and possessing the sort of dark, intimidating beauty one would expect of a Warlock skilled in the Arcanum of Life, she makes an impression even without the use of her Art. She is a harsh, demanding taskmaster, and can be as wantonly cruel to her allies as her enemies - but her methods earn results, and when her lessons end her harrowed pupils and allies find she can be quite soft and comforting. She's also every bit as brutal to her own mind and body, pushing both to their limits and then beyond in a quest for enlightenment through excess and ordeal - and aforementioned skill with Life magic means she frequently indulges in staggering amounts of vice; she has a noted love of cigars and whiskey.

Path: Mastigos
Order: Adamantine Arrow (Status 3)
Arcana: Life 4, Mind 3, Space 1

The Thyrsus First Talon known as Wildcat comes to New York from Scotland to own and operate a bar in the Bronx, formerly owned by her uncle, a member of the Silver Ladder. Where she strives to create an atmosphere of safety and security where a Super can go to get a drink.

Born, raised, and trained across the pond in the ways of the Spirits she dedicates herself to the maintenance and health of the Shadow and its inhabitants. But do not mistake her for a tree hugger as, although young, she has proven herself in battle against the Seers living on the Isles, making a name for herself for having a short fuse but a generous heart. The kind of girl to break your nose and then buy you a glass of Bourbon to numb the pain.

Path: Thyrsus
Order: Adamantine Arrow (Status 2)
Arcana: Spirit 3, Life 2, Fate 2, Prime 2
Specialties: Survival within the Shadow, Knowledge of Spirits, Punching a face in.

You might remember Ryan Storms from a few years back as a well known Meteorologist for NBC. Well now he is back from his hiatus and happy to deliver the AccuWeather Forecast time and time again! Ryan is always happy to meet fans and chat about topics other than the weather, but that comes up often.

In the more secretive side of Ryan's life, the Acanthus Gaurdian of the Veil is still pretty well know for a myriad of topics and traits more so his use of Forces as a Acanthus. Be careful about the topic of conversation, because Ryan will go deep into the rabbit hole of Awakened Conspiracy Theories (ACTs for short). Those in the awakened circle would know him as Doppler

Path: Acanthus
Order: GoV (Status 2)
Arcana: Time, Forces, Fate, Space

When it comes to art, the greatest of works are attributed to inspiration from the great Muses. In its own way, the Mastigos that goes by the name of Muse amongst the Wise serves as a twist upon this theme. Muse is a member of the Guardians of the Veil, and are one of the most dedicated users of the Masques that the order makes great use of. They are, in their mundane self, a relatively androgynous individual. They are extremely loyal to the GoV, and believe in the tenets entirely.

To those who know Muse, they would be aware of two Masques - Thalia, and Melpomeni. The Muse of Comedy, and the Muse of Tragedy, respectively. They are both the same person of course, but they are quite different, in personality, attire, and appearance. They each have their own specific purposes, and it is more common to interact with Muse as either of their Masques than it is to interact with the Masque-less Muse themselves. Thalia is clearly female, while Melpomeni appears male in build. It is assumed that they make extensive use of both Life and Mind to alter their body and mannerisms as necessary to properly fit any role, including their Masques.

To Muse, all of life itself is a play to an outside audience - unknowable observers that dictate what the actors should do, and what roles they fill. Everyone is an actor - some play larger parts than others. Muse believes themselves to simply be yet another lesser part within an unimaginably larger play, though not to the extent of being worthless or anything such as that - and, of course, so are most others. This means they place less value on their own existence compared to those that they view as those in 'major roles'. What determines that, is something known only to Muse.

Known these days as Morgana, this Obrimos Mystagogue is a fresh transplant to NYC from the American Midwest. Her awakening was only a few years past, but she’s been learning quickly. To that end, she has a quiet, nerdy affect to her. When she’s not hitting up a library, she’s out and about, trying to get a hang of the city but still has that fresh off the boat look to her.

Morgana's namesake of Arthurian Legend was said to be versed in mathematics and astronomy. This is a big part of why she identifies with this persona, she was and is a student of astrophysics. She invests a great deal of significance to celestial phenomena. Don’t get her started on her theories of the missing ninth planet unless you’ve got some time to sit and listen.

Path: Obrimos
Order: Mysterium
Arcana: Forces, Prime, Time, Space, Mind
Specialties: Astrophysics, Library research, distance jogging

Hello everyone! I'm new and wanted to post the concept I was working on and get some feedback/possible connections/etc


Name: Alex Raynor
Shadowname: Ometecuhtli
Path: Thyrsus
Order: Adamantine Arrow
Arcana: Fate, Life, Spirit
Specialties: Theology, Introspection, Mediator, Combatant

Alex was born to a rich family and, long story short, majored in Theology and cultural studies and traveled in the world in search of great truth and better questions to ask. He found answers in the form of his Awakening somewhere in Central Mexico. After returning, his pronouns changed to They/Them and they became much more introspective and serene. Alex is now living a dual life, Sometimes being Alex, and other times being Alexa, using their knowledge of Life to experience life in the masculine and feminine. Alexa is still a non-entity, with no background but Alex acknowledges they are their other half. On their path they intend to experience life in both states to achieve a true balance in all things. They work to help others get in touch with this other side of themselves, and also protect those that would threaten Friends, family, and the balance of forces.

As always will be looking for a cabal to protect/be Momma/Papa bear and walk the path of ascension!

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome of course.
