Exposition Session

Thats fine. I figured we're coming up to a time were people's time will be limited.

Just saying, but wouldn't it be better to have a dedicated thread where to put our sheets ? It would be simpler to find them when needed, I think.

Good idea.

Alright, I got one up. I'll edit the template if we want more added to it. Also, feel free to use any other character sheets means.

I''m waffling between Routine (Wealth management firm), Training (Fixer/finance), and Personality (Accomodating/neurotic) for my logos tags atm.

Let's see, here's my try at it:


Soul's Ferryman

Power:

How does your Mythos learn about the World around it ?
It allows me to see the spirit of deceased living beings and communicate with them.

A-What allows you to uncannily know things you wouldn't normally know ?
A discussion with the deads.

H-What creative ways of using your divination have you developed ?
Asking ghosts a favor.

I-How can you affect others with your power ?
Guiding their souls; to another body, or to the Afterlife.


Weakness:

B-What can hinder or block your Divination ?
Not all spirits are cooperative.

Personality: Neurotic
"I don't think I'd ever forgive myself if I were late for our appointment."

? - What are you like?
I want others to respect me, personally and professionally.

A - What lies at the core of your personality?
Fastidiousness
Without natural grace, charm, or charisma, staying in the loop takes hard and tedious work and conscious effort.

D - When you want, you can also come across as...
Authoritative
Does not seem to be one to act assertive without some firm ground to stand on.

H - What useful habit or routine have you cultivated thanks to your personality?
Remember all the details - all of them.
Accounts? Account numbers? Account balances? Appointments? Birthdays? Nieces' birthdays? That thing you said you wanted for Christmas one time in August? What screedy podcast you turn off when your wife walks into the room? Noted.

D - What happens when you are pushed into a corner?
Whimpering capitulation.
If he pushes, and you push back, he absolutely won't push back harder.

---

Training: Wealth Management
"Managing money is just math. Managing the people with the money is the real trick."

What do you do or know best?
Finance
The full spectrum of the field of finance, from simple personal banking to investment and wealth diversification, and a pinch of tax avoidance. It's not fraud if it's right there in the books.

C - What other tangent field have you ventured into indirectly?
Mediation.
Untangling knots of competing interests, revealing unpleasant truths, and finding out the real stakes of a given account for all its holders is part ant parcel. And then there's the divorce counseling...

J - What unusual new application of your training are you exploring?
Detective work.
Reading between the lines, finding out what assets are off the books, and digging up the dirty laundry is an unfortunate part of his professional life.

B - How did your training adversely affect your psyche or body?
Emotionally hollowed out.
Everybody is hiding something, and they're all out for themselves. As soon as money's on the line, anyone, anyone can turn into a viper. It's hard to make friends or find love when you know what would happen if they had a million dollars.

I'm especially curious how this character might interact with the embodiment of Robin Hood.

Agreed. I like both those Logos Grey. I see you mixed the two you were waffling between, nice work.

@Ratilla I like Soul's Ferryman but while I can envoke that Weakness tag it seems like a difficult tag to overcome. As you gain power you can eventually remove a weakness tag. How can you overcome a souls uncooperativeness?
Feel free to answer that.
An alternative may be your personality that some don't like, if you want to keep it in that vien.
Too many people around might block it.
Maybe you get headache when using your power too much and that keeps you from using it until the headache is gone.

I thought that he could overcome most uncooperative people by speaking and "negotiating" with them, possibly for a longer time. So it could possibly be only the most tricky that wouldn't help him after a while. And I see it as fair game considering how broad the possible help from a ghost is (intel, knowing a murderer, following or haunting someone, etc).

I'll take that. One Mythos down

And I'll probably go with a Touched, so after that it'll be all Logos. The way I see it, he ignored his power or saw it as a sign of God for most of his life, so he wouldn't know it very well, and still do not necessarily want to.

Here is a link to an editable character sheet.

Oh, that is nice, thanks !

You could also assert that overcoming uncooperative souls could just be a matter of developing the "craft," either just being so used to recalcitrant souls that them being recalcitrant doesn't actually inhibit you enough to make a statistical difference, or even just a development of supernatural authority.

Also a way to take it. I only wanted to make sure no one was left painting themselves into a corner so-to-speak.

I quite like the first idea too, yeah ! I guess it could be a combination of learned charisma, easiness to find a soul and experience with how they work, yeah.

I hope all are thinking of great concepts for charaters and maybe some ways that you can be connected to one another(before or after the event). It looks like the event will be the power outage with riots, gas main explotions, sink holes. At least that's what the main populace remebers. You all remember something much more mystical.

With this week being Christmas I think we can put this on hold for any big posts untill next week.
Feel free to post and I'll check in when I can but don't except anything big untill next week.
Merry Christmas everyone. Have a safe holiday week.

Happy Holidays everyone!
