So how is everyone going on with their characters? :)
May 18, 2023 12:37 pm
I'm good. Ready to do History whenever the rest are.

I've got the basis for who I think the character should be. Thinking of going with the exile background, and incorporating a bit of American Gods, where he drives a taxi around town to keep on the down low, earn some scratch, and keep an ear/eye out for the goings-on around town.

Divine moves would be Soothing, Healing, and Smite.

Hope to have the character sheet filled out by tonight.

Curious though, is the Divine an actual angel/demon that lives on Earth, or a human/mortal that's been blessed by a god, akin to a DnD paladin?

Seems to me it should lean more towards the "actual" but it could be less. If you know Supernatural, all the angels and demons in that show would fit. In my opinion.

The way I read the playbook, you are an angel/demon put on the Earth for a reason. You choose that reason when you pick your mission. Which you stated was that you were exiled and you must do the work of good without alerting your brother and sister angels/demons. So I'd say your character is an angel, who for some unknown reason at the moment was exiled to Earth.

Character submitted!

Great, Parker is approved.

I think TextualSubtext is out of town rl and therefore unable to work on their character. We'll shelve him for now and work him in when he's able to be here again.

Go ahead with the introductions and histories now. Introduce your character in here and work through your characters history questions. Let's start with AutomAtomic and then rossum, Ledosero and finally ctme2000.

Sorry everyone, I am on the road to a graduation in another state. I didn't think I'd be driving as much of the trip that I did. Here are my Histories.

@ctme2000, Parker tried to slay Elise, but she conviced them she was on the side of good. What convinced Parker?

@Ledosero, Alex and Elise fought together against a hive of young vampires and prevailed. We make a good if odd team.

@rossum, Elise is romantically obsessed with Janos. Does he know? Do they reciprocate?

Janos definitely knows. He's a little sharp, and if she's OBSESSED obsessed, then it's gotta be obvious in a thousand different ways, yeah? He can put two and two together. As for reciprocation- He's interested and curious, but reserved and a little guarded when it comes to mixing personal relationships with the biz of monster hunting again after losing his mentor. It's been a while for him since having any kind of meaningful relationship, and he knows they both could live a very long time... which would be bad if things don't work out and they stick together.
OOC:
How does that sound, AutomAtomic? Apologies for my delay also, I somehow missed this notification. PS- congrats on your (or friend/family's) graduation!

I wonder how we got together as a team, for it surely is a weird team. But I like it. We could tracked down the vampires at the same time, independantly and started a chance alliance there at first and then became a team.

As I understand from @wulfman35781 ' post, it is @rossum 's turn, before mine, right?
May 22, 2023 7:11 am
That is correct Ledo, rossum should go next.

Here's my Hx:
Quote:
• They act as your conscience when the power goes to your head. Ask them about the last time this happened.
• Blood relation, though you were out of contact for years. Ask them how they reconnected with you.
• Mentor from another life. Ask them what they taught you.
• Your magic-fueled rescue of them introduced them to the supernatural. Tell them what creature was after them.
• An old rivalry has turned into a tight friendship. Tell them what you once fought over.
• You thought they were dead, and now they’re back. What "killed" them?
• They’re an on-again/off-again love interest. Ask them what keeps you apart. Tell them what keeps you together.
• A comrade-in-arms. You’ve faced the biggest threats together.
I am thinking rivalry-to-friendship for the Expert, Maybe back from the dead for the Monstrous, I could see the mentor as the Chosen, and perhaps comrade with the Divine? I am not sure the best way to see everyone's character sheets to verify if this works.

Does any of these speak to anyone in particular? @AutomAtomic, I didn't want to doubletap the love thing with Elise. (I mean, I did, but I didn't want to have a one-note relationship.
May 23, 2023 4:06 am
Yeah...I can work with that. So what did you think killed her?

Alex could have taught you about her family history and the connection to monsters and magic in the past.
I don't think Alex could have taught actual magic, but she would know about family legends and their magical connections.
With Janos in his midforties, he is over twice Alex's age. But they could discuss witches and magic.


Ignore all of the above and read my post below to see how we could connect these. :)

I shall put up mine tonight after work.

Ok. Let's bring up some introductions here.


A rival at first, but you came to a working arrangement.
@AutomAtomic I was thinking this could work with Elise.
Alex and Elise might have been competing each other on clearing out those vampires.
Show off who is the best hunter in town! Until we found out that we had to work together to beat them.
We might still try compete in getting kills in, but that is what drives us an makes us an actually good team.


They are destined to be your mentor. Tell them how this was revealed.
@rossum
With your Mentor from another life. on me, I am thinking the following now.
We could be a sort of two-souls educating each other in an endless cycle of birth and rebirth.
In my previous life I was a wise old wizard, a man who educated Janos in magic.
Now he is reborn as a girl in the Bishop family and quite unexpectedly Chosen. Maybe Janos knew that and is now mentoring
Alex. And some time in the future, roles will be reversed again.


@ctme2000
I don't know much about Parker yet, but he seems quite young.
So I am thinking one of these three:
• Your best friend in the world, who you trust totally.
• Romantic entanglement, or fated to be romantically entangled.
• Just friends, from school or work or something. Ask them
what.
May 24, 2023 2:37 pm
Hey y'all, hoping to sit down today or tomorrow and go through the History section with Parker.

@automatomic Yup, was going to use you for this one (• They are an abomination, and should be destroyed. Except you can’t–work out with them why not.)
