Æsop

The Dastardly Skald

Mighty as an olympian, for indeed he was a master of the Pankration.
Enduring as the foundation of the earth, as he trained his body to the pinnacle of athletic performance.
Lusty as a bull, the one thing Æsop enjoys more than chronicling the deviance and degeneracy of the, "Heroes," is the company of beautiful women.

Seeks above all things Notoriety
Æsop has followed the adventurers chronicling their stories and feats with objectivity. He only deals in facts, though these facts have a tendency to showcase failures rather than successes, and omit him as anything more than observer.

One theme down, 3 to go!

I'm going to say this, though. Seems super-troll-y. The idea of playing with a party member whose main goal is to s*** on the rest of the party seems less fun, than say, a root canal. If everyone else thinks it sounds like fun, I'm ok with it, since I'm just the GM. If anyone else has an opinion they'd rather PM me, PM me.

Tell me about slicing minds. I've said elsewhere I'm trying not to do d&d with this game, and your character is obviously very inspired by d&d. Which isn't the end of the world or anything, but since you've gone for what looks like a pretty overtly magical, direct attack, and are introducing GoO into our world, I kind of want to put the brakes on.

Also, hello! Nice meeting you!

Elsewhere we've talked about fae/fey, and saints/gods being different cultural descriptions of the same spiritual/animistic "reality." The GoO can be yet another form of same, perhaps yours is older and stranger than the gods/fey we've touched on thus far.

I will want you to understand that the consequences of using such power and assaulting other's minds will not be inconsequential. You will be flying without a net.

When you say that this is just narration, I fear that you do not expect there to be any price to pay for this power.
As I said, the warlock was just inspiration. I do not intend to introduce GoO into the world, it can be a dark fey or any other thing you've already established. Mechanically, it's just a power tag that I can only use to directly hinder someone, not to directly help. And I don't want any new mechanics with it, the Tinderbox Demo's rules are exactly what I'm looking for in this game.

I'd like a magic user who did not learn their magic, and for whom magic feels dangerous and, as a result, I will always describe her action when using magic as reluctant.

Also, in the veins of Fate (you said that LitM has a lot of Fate in its DNA), I'm happy to limit the Effects (on page 7 of the demo pdf) for which I can use this tag, just like Fate stunts can be limited to certain skills or action.

And it's a first idea, we can chisel it as much as we want -- for example, by renaming it.
