Things are rough at home, which means Lindsey spend every minute she can outdoors. The day she turns eighteen might as well be a million years away, but Lindsey is counting down the clock all the same. She spends the days with her friends; some of whom she suspects are a little afraid of her. If not her, then the stuff she gets up to… the stuff she drags them into all too often!

#2: Star Borg

Name: Koldomi Reddman
Species: Human

Magi-Knight (Jedi): For a thousand generations, the Magi Knights were the guardians of peace throughout one billion worlds. That was before the dark times. Before the Empire. Your order is all but extinct, hunted across the stars and killed by the Emperor’s elite forces.

Though you have incredible mystic powers, you risk discovery when using them. The only thing in the galaxy worse than being discovered by the Empire is what happens to those who helped keep your secret.

Force Power: Mind Muddle - Cloud the brains of simple minded creatures and issue simple hypnotic commands.

Hunted: Each time you use one of your Magi-Arts or ignite your Lightsaber, roll 1d20. If you roll a 5 or lower, the Imperials have sensed your presence and your Nemesis will zero in on your location soon. This number increases by 1 each time you take one of these actions.

#5: The Walking DeadName: Elijah Miller
Archtype: The Doctor - New diseases always hit the medical staff the hardest. I was right in the middle of it, in the ER at Atlanta's busiest hospital, when people started to turn. I lost so many. Jane, my wife Julia, Harry, and Tom. I don't know a single person who got out of there, except me. Before I ran, I examined one of them, a girl who was strapped to a bed before she died.

Mary-Beth Lincoln has been driving a Lafayette CityBus for going on three years. The drunks that take the last bus home don’t mind telling her that she’s much too pretty to be driving the night bus. It’s not like Mary-Beth had the luxury of being choosy when it came to making an honest living… what with her Mark running off with that homewrecker and taking all the money with him. May they rot in Hell!

Impressive you're both doing this challenge! I wish I had the time and energy. I don't. But I *will* run a game for Mary-Beth Lincoln. Is she a certain daughter?!

Motivation: Accumulate Great Wealth - PAL’s going to make it big someday! The Wealthiest Ownerless Automaton in the Grokland! Quite the title!

Assets:
Rocket Boots - A final gift from PAL 9000’s one-time owner. An automaton with a single mode of movement was sooooo PAL 3000.

Unlocked Data Pad - A final, final gift from PAL 9000’s one-time owner. It’s a pity it had to be pried from the man’s cold dead hands. (Not PAL’s doing!)

Screw-On Replacement Head - The color is off. The make and model are off, too, but beggars can’t be choosers, can they?

Inefficient Duplicator - Hasn’t yet proved itself valuable during a heist…

Things I Try To Be:
Everywhere At Once: There are many who need a light in the darkness. A friendly word, an open ear, a warm fire in the night.
Always Positive: It’s too easy to fall into dark talk about what has come before and may return again soon! Fewer are those who will sing a happier song with a merrier heart.

Things I Know I Can’t Be:
A Good Judge of Character: We’ve all done things we are not proud of. I won’t pretend to know how to separate the good from the bad. We should be wary of those that claim to do so…
Consistently Correct: We can only strive to be more correct than we were yesterday…

The Look:
Shining eyes that pierce the darkness.
Patchwork scarf.
Reliable staff.
Mud-soaked cloak.

You have a firefly, your companion that stays by your side no matter what. They sleep during the day and light up at night. They are luminescent. How did you meet? They led me out of danger at my darkest moment, and have stuck with you ever since. They are confident.

A Light I Still Keep: A rusted iron lantern that my mother carried before me - May it bring warmth to those who need a reminder of the time long before.

Characteristics


SkillsTalents and Special Abilities
Remove a setback die from Piloting checks.

Motivations
Primary Motivation: Ambition - Freedom Tess values her independence above all else. She despises being tied down, whether by debts, governments, or relationships that limit her freedom. The thrill of flying through uncharted space and making her own choices is what keeps her going.
Secondary Motivation: Cause - Anti-Authority Tess has a natural distrust of large organizations, especially the Empire and crime syndicates. She often takes jobs that involve undermining such powers, even if it puts her in danger.
Secondary Motivation: Ambition Wealth Though she loves freedom, Tess understands that credits open doors. She’s driven to secure financial stability, not for luxury, but to ensure she’s never at anyone’s mercy again.
Secondary Motivation: Connection - Crew Loyalty Tess views her crew and companions as her chosen family. While she may act self-reliant, she’s deeply loyal and will risk everything to protect those she considers part of her "pack," including Grax.
Secondary Motivation: Thrill-Seeking Tess lives for the adrenaline rush of danger. High-speed chases, smuggling runs through Imperial blockades, and risky bets in seedy cantinas make her feel alive.

Obligations
Criminal (10 Obligation): Tess is wanted by the Empire for smuggling and evading capture during a high-profile job. Her record makes every encounter with Imperial forces a potential disaster.
Addiction (Gambling) (5 Obligation): Tess struggles with a gambling addiction, constantly chasing her next big win. This habit has led to financial trouble and put her in dangerous situations.
Favor (5 Obligation): Tess owes a major favor to a powerful figure, such as a Hutt crime lord, a legendary smuggler, or a Rebel leader. This person could call in the favor at any time, potentially derailing her plans.

#13: Dark Streets and Darker Secrets
Name: Liam Flint
Concept: Street Punk Firestarter

Attributes:
Physique: 13
Agility: 10
Intellect: 7
Willpower: 10
Vitality: 15
Sanity: 7
Luck: 3


Prime Attributes: Physique & Agility.

Archtype: The Tough - You are the strongest and most resilient person you know. Well, at least thats what you want everyone to believe. You take pride in your physical prowess and usually prefer melee combat over ranged weapons. You may say it is because of some honor code, but the truth is you're just much better with your fists or a baseball bat than with a rifle.

The Tough is a character focused on physical strength and constitution. They are excellent combatants and soldiers, being able to sustain punishment strong enough to bring down many others. They excel in close combat, physical effort, and rapid recovery, making them ideal warriors and defenders of any adventuring party.

Recovery Roll: 1d6+2

Special Abilities:
Too Tough to Die: Once per adventure, upon reaching 0 Vitality, The Tough immediately regains 1d6+Level Vitality points. This represents the character's strong resilience and unfaltering determination. This Archetype also gets an extra Vitality point per Level (effectively giving them 2 additional points per Level).

Feel the Pain: No one strikes as hard as The Tough. All melee damage inflicted by the character is increased by 1 (so if the weapon's normal damage is 1d6, The Tough would cause 1d6+1 points of damage when using that weapon).

I Can Take Em: The Tough knows how to take advantage of their superior combat prowess. The character can automatically inflict 1d6 points of damage to any Opponent in close range for each Level they have above the highest HD Opponent in close distance of them.

That’s my Favorite: The Tough chooses one particular type of melee weapon as their favorite. When using weapons of that type, the character rolls a Positive Die when attacking.

Gear:
Baseball Bat,

#14: Koriko - A Magical YearFrom this day forth,
I shall be called a wanderer,
Leaving on a journey,
Thus among the early showers…

---

My name is Robin. I'm a sixteen-year-old witch-in-training, and when you first see me you'll probably notice my piercing stare, chewed lip and fiery red hair. I wear a grey sweater and a tall pointy, black hat and carry an old, metal lantern with me pretty much everywhere.

You’ll probably also notice my familiar, Whisper. They’re the hot-headed, ginger cat that never leaves my side. Our bond is so strong that we can even talk to each other - though you probably won’t understand us!

Most folks from my village would say I’m dull, I think. The people close to me make it clear that I should always be honest. As for me, I think I’m modest and I’d really like to be more helpful.

---

I’m writing this from Rosehall, the quiet little village I’ve lived in all my life. I live here with Yarrow, the village witch. She’s our leader.

People in the village say she’s stern, but she can actually be forgiving when it’s just us. Since I decided to become a witch they’ve acted as my mentor, teaching me the basics of the old ways.

We’ve learned a lot together, but now it’s time for me to put it into practice on my own, far from their guiding hand.

Me and my familiar will be leaving on the next full moon, just two days from now, to spend a year away. I hope to hone my magic into something special, but also want to prove that my mentor, Yarrow, made the right choice.

When I dream about my new home, I wake up with lingering memories of droning voices chanting scripture and a spire of silver and glass piercing the sky…

---

Sellsword:
Under the buckles, bandoliers, swords, and pistols, Sellswords are disposable things. Violence is a buyer’s market. In the summer, you stand in the square with five other Sellswords.

A patron measures your bicep. An old Farmerling apologetically inquires about your experience killing Imago for an hour, before signing the gun to your right. Next summer, a Lordling hires you with a single gesture, never turning back to make eye contact.

You live in their dwellings, eat their food, chop their wood, and put them at ease, but you are not their kin. You are a tool to them. Their kindness diminishes with their winter food stores, and l you’ve been sent off into the snow one too many times. A full stomach and a warm place to lay down is enough for most Sellswords. Is that enough for you? Do you crave your fortune, or seek to test your prowess?

Ambitious Sellswords grow rich and die young, but the sorriest lot are the old hands. Warriors past their prime bleat in the village streets for supper. They swear up and down they can still swing a sword smarter than fighters half their age. "So you might, so you might," you say, tossing them your last piece of cheese.

What Were You Doing Last?: Freezing on a mountainside.

Gear: Fur-lined battle casing (5 AP), a folding utility shovel, climbing cleats, 50 ft of climbing rope, frostbite (start with 3 Damage), a stick of chalk, a sack of onions (4 servings). Spells: Throw Flame.

Memories
Fire Memories
(passion, motivation, confrontation)

That time I snapped at Nyssa for trying to make me talk to boys
Nyssa tried to nudge me into talking to a group of boys in the park. When I refused, she teased me mercilessly, and I snapped at her. Our argument, and the later apology I made to her, helped me confront my fear of rejection and realize how deeply it held me back.

---

Water Memories
(compassion, expression, generosity)

That time I nursed a strange scaled creature back to health
While hiking in the foothills back home, I found a small, injured creature with scales like molten gold and sad, scared eyes, its body trembling with exhaustion. I took it home and fed it drops of honey, giving it a nest of old towels, and sang to it while I rested. In a few days it regained its strength and vanished into the night, leaving behind a single shimmering scale.

---

Earth Memories
(growth, stability, wisdom)

That time Aunt Cassie gave me my charm bracelet
Aunt Cassie gave me a charm bracelet for my sixth birthday. Every year, she makes another charm, explaining that each one represents a lesson I will learn during my Magical Year. When I wear it I feel a sense of grounding, as if my path is connected to hers through time.

---

Air Memories
(curiosity, openness, intuition)

That time I discovered a hidden door
While cleaning my tiny studio apartment in the old brownstone, I discovered a door hidden behind peeling wallpaper. It was locked, but it seemed to hum faintly when I uncovered it. Nyssa insisted we leave it alone, but I pressed my ear against it and swore I could hear whispers calling my name. None of my keys unlock it.

---

Light Memories
(innocence, discovery, empathy)

That time I moved to the big city all by myself
I am Esme Chauderon, the "once per generation" witch from an otherwise typical suburban family. I grew up in the town of Orchard Hollow, but I am starting my Magical Year in an old brownstone in the Rosebriar Heights neighborhood of the oceanside city of Port Sortalis. The witches in my family have come here for generations to experience their Magical Year in a city brimming with ancient history and clashing cultures. A distant relative may still own this building, but I only have access to a small studio apartment on the fourth of five floors. My one, tiny window opens onto a fire escape with a view of a small garden nestled between row houses and the back alley below.

---

Dark Memories
(mystery, creativity, introspection)

That time I encountered a mysterious stranger
When I was just into my teens, my family visited Standing Stone Park. I remembering seeing a cloaked figure in the distance, watching me. I turned away for just a moment, and when I looked back, they were gone. This happened three times in the park, each time the stranger seemed closer than the last. But I never saw them again, leaving me with more questions than answers.


People
Familiar: Nyssa Sylvienne is a radiant six-inch-tall fairy with shimmering violet and silver butterfly wings, an opalescent sheen to her skin, and cascading lavender hair adorned with tiny flowers. She is flirtatious, brimming with playful confidence and a knack for nudging Esme into exploring the magical and romantic possibilities of life.

Mentor: Aunt Cassie, Cassandra Lee Chauderon. Cassie is the black sheep of the family, an outsider and rebel, but she is well-respected among witches even if she bucks tradition. She has black hair and amber eyes and is strikingly beautiful. She dresses in a cross between witch couture and steampunk princess, with a dash of punk rock rebel thrown in for good measure.

Non-Magical Character: Mateo lives across the hall from Esme. He is tall and lean with tousled dark hair, warm brown eyes, and an easygoing charm. He is kind and helpful and filled with an infectious enthusiasm for life, exploration, and creative endeavors.


Locations
Standing Stone Park is a park in the foothills of the mountains to the east of Port Sortalis. There are many standing stones erected long ago for unknown purposes. It is said to be a place of power.

The Old Tunnels under Port Sortalis are said to cover the entire city and hold unknown secrets. They have fascinated Esme since she heard of them.

The Old Brownstone is Esmes' new home, and owned by someone in her family. The witches of her family have used it for their magical year for generations, and she is certain they share information with each other. If only she knew where to look.

Background
Mara Voss was a legend in the shadows, the kind of operative whispered about in intelligence circles. Precision was her trademark, infiltrating high-security compounds, eliminating high-value targets, and vanishing without a trace. Mara was unstoppable. Her cold professionalism masked a need to prove herself against impossible odds.

After being disavowed by her agency, Mara spiraled into a self-destruction. Untethered from the structure and purpose that once defined her life, the weight of her past actions bore down on her and she was consumed by guilt. Drugs became her escape, dulling the nightmares of faces she couldn’t forget, while reckless sexual encounters filled the void left by a life of calculated isolation.

Mara burned through her savings and pawned her possessions, taking on increasingly dangerous and risky jobs to fund her addiction. Seedy motels and back-alley deals became her new battlefield, and the line between predator and prey blurred when others saw her as broken and exploitable. Her physical health deteriorated, her reflexes dulled, and the once razor-sharp operative became a shadow of herself, teetering on the edge of oblivion.

She likely would have died but for an old teammate who recognized her behind the gaunt face of an addict and bailed her out of a fight she couldn't win in a seedy bar. Mara's journey out of addiction was a grueling battle fought as fiercely as any mission she had undertaken in her prime. The physical toll of withdrawal tested her endurance, while the mental struggle to confront her past and resist old habits pushed her to the brink. Guided by the purpose offered by her teammate, she channeled her rage and regret into relentless discipline, rebuilding the body and mind she had nearly destroyed.

Though the scars of her past linger, they fuel her resolve. Mara fights with unyielding determination, knowing the stakes are higher than ever, that failure isn’t an option, and that no one is there to bail her team out if they should fail.

The Module: The fallout shelter was only meant to be temporary. The high school’s gymnasium was just a meeting place. Some basic supplies, cots, and company, while waiting for rescue. The generator was old, as was the company, and it wasn’t long before they both started to go. Folks started to vanish straight out of the hallways whenever the lights would flicker for too long. Of the eighty-odd people that once gathered here, now only a few of you remain, huddled close on cots as the lights above you flicker dangerously low. Perhaps you shouldn’t have stayed this long, but where would you have gone? In the hills of Pennsylvania the nearest town is an hour’s drive, assuming you could even find a car. Some people say there’s light north of Lake Erie for those who can get to it, but that’s just a rumor. What isn’t a rumor is that the generator is in its final throes of sanctuary. Soon enough you’ll all be in the dark. No point to stay and fight, but there aren’t too many places to run and hide either. Gathering supplies and hitting the road might be your best bet. You’ll at least need to find some new batteries for the radio. It’s up to you, but the time has come to move…

Brink: I’ve been seen… breaking down. Some nights, I just about lose my mind wondering what happened to my two children.

#19: Her Odyssey

Name: Nira
Vitality: 2
Quickness: 5
Fortitude: 4

What does your wanderer seek?
The freedom to make her own choices and live a life that brings her joy.

What has Nira left behind?
- A controlling mother tied to tradition and appearances.
- A father deeply rooted in cultural customs.
- A protective older brother who insists on upholding her arranged marriage.
- A best friend and ally in her younger sister.
- The man she truly loved, who was slain in a duel.

Was Nira well-prepared to set off on the road?
She was moderately prepared, bringing practical items and what she thought she’d need. However, her upbringing in an isolated village has left her inexperienced in the challenges of the outside world.

Someone or something Nira loves and has lost:
Her lover, who supported her decision to live her own life and had planned an escape with her, leaving her both heartbroken and resolute.

A shadow that follows her and haunts her steps:
The fear of being caught and dragged back to her old life and arranged marriage. This fear manifests as an almost physical sensation of being watched, along with fleeting glimpses of shadows in the corner of her eye that aren’t truly there.

#20: Hiria, the Eternal City

#21: Mutant Monster Machine Girls


WHO I AM - THE MONSTER GIRL
NAME: Alecta
EYES: inhuman, silent
FACE: stony
FASHION: goth
DESCRIPTORS: stitches, claws, pale
SCHTICKS: superhuman strength, swift reflexes
I am one of the last of a dying breed of ancient beast who originate from before the dawn of man. Throughout history, we have been called monsters and hunted mercilessly by humanity because they fear the power we hold.
The City wants me dead and has taken away my right to live in peace.
That is why I fight.

THE MAN RESPONSIBLE
Out of all the people who added to my hurt and trauma, there is only one man I truly hold responsible.
HIS NAME: Sebastian Kaine
HIS PRESENCE: violating, unsettling
He forcefully turned me into who I am.
He left me for dead but had no idea I would survive.
When THE MAN RESPONSIBLE enters a scene I’m in, I immediately fill out my entire DOOM track.

MY MISSION
In addition to killing THE MAN RESPONSIBLE with cruel vengeance, there’s one more thing I want:
To protect somebody who thinks I’m dead.

GIRL PRINCIPLES
• Make the world a better place
• Pursue revenge at all costs
• All risks are necessary risks
• Fight with grief, rage, and, most of all, love
• Embrace your very real and very volatile emotions
• Embrace the queer, bizarre, and absurd
• Stick to a strong moral code - do not compromise

MONSTER GIRL EVOLUTIONS
FRANKENSTEIN GIRL
Not quite undead but unfortunately labeled as such, I may continue to fight when I take 4 Harm as if I am uninjured. I can still control my body parts remotely if they are separated from my body.
I may also heal (1 Harm total) and EVOLVE outside my Girl Type by stitching loose body parts or inanimate objects to my own body.

#22: Charming Mr. Darcy

#29: SlayersName: Rupert Frock

I’ve been doing this forever. Feels like I’ll be doing it until forever ends…

Class: Gunslinger - While most wield knives or flintlock firearms into battle, the Gunslinger has access to an incredibly rare weapon: the six shooter revolver. These weapons are specially crafted, and each Gunslinger has a special connection with their six-shooter as they carve runes into it to their liking. A Gunslinger can spray lead and bring down the worst The City has to offer. These dangerous weapons mean most avoid interacting with Gunslingers and many Slingers lead lives as drifters and Slayers.

Mend - d6
Negotiate - d6
Stealth - d8
Streets - d6

Gunslingers unload devastating firepower on anyone unlucky enough to be their target. When you Spray Lead, choose a Near or Far monster and pick up as many bullets as you would like to fire. You may use bullets from any chamber that you have loaded. Each bullet that Hits deals your Damage. Bullets that have been rolled are spent, and are not available until you use a Quick Action to reload.

Quick Action - Reload
A trained ‘Slinger knows just the right moment to lay down their guard and prepare their weapon. You may reload up to two bullets into any empty chambers.

Advances:
Prepared - Bullets fired from a fully loaded gun are rolled with advantage.

Desperate - Last bullet in the gun deals 5 damage per hit.

#23: Secrets of Cats


Tatterags

Aspects
High Concept: The Seeker Who Knew Too Much
Trouble: Hunted for What I Know
Burden: The Lost Kid Who Found Me
True Name: Hollow Dreamer
Other Aspects: The Streets Whisper and I Listen

Skills
Great (+4): Will
Good (+3): Seeking, Notice
Fair (+2): Stealth, Investigate, Warding
Average (+1): Athletics, Naming, Provoke, Territory

Reconstruction (Investigate): You’re great at working out what humans did and why. If they’ve left behind clues, +2 on Investigate rolls.
Preternatural Awareness (Notice): Your sense of the other is particularly strong. +2 on rolls to notice invisible beings, astral travelers, and other subtle supernatural weirdness.
Stubborn (Will): Once you’ve set your mind on something, you won’t be swayed. You can use Will to defend against Rapport.

Stress
Mental: 4 Physical: 2

Notes
Tatterags is a scrappy, wiry-furred tom. His patchwork coat of smoky grays and dull blacks looks like it's been through one too many alley fights, with tufts sticking out in odd places. His left ear is torn, a souvenir from some long-forgotten skirmish, and his whiskers are uneven, giving him a permanently ragged look. His eyes are an unsettling shade of yellow, flickering with a sharp, knowing intelligence that makes most cats uneasy. He moves like a shadow, slipping between dumpsters and down storm drains with practiced ease. He looks like any another street cat, ragged and forgettable, until you meet his gaze. Then you realize: he knows something you don’t.

Tatterags is quiet and watchful, with the wariness of a cat who’s been on his own too long. Beneath that, he’s fiercely loyal to the few who matter, like his runaway Burden, and maybe a handful of trusted allies. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, his words carry weight, and he stares at you for far too long to be comfortable.

Despite being a loner, he has a habit of showing up exactly when he’s needed, not that he’ll admit it’s on purpose. If you ask him why he’s always in the right place at the right time, he’ll just flick his tail and announce cryptically, "The streets whisper. I listen."

He’s not fearless. He knows exactly how dangerous the world is. But he’s stubborn as hell, and no amount of threats or charm will make him ignore what he knows. Even hunted, even alone, he keeps moving forward, because he has no other choice.

Secret of Cats is such a cool game, and I'm not even a cat person. It's been really fun watching you two do this -- appreciate all the creativity and reminders of great systems we never get to play!

Gee I love this. If you ever run it here, sign me up, even if it's a one pager I bet it could be extended.

#31: CAINName: Harry Withers
XID: Brussels

How Did You First Manifest Your Powers?: I’m not exactly sure. I remember the SIN. I’ll never forget it. Something just took hold of me then! When I came to, it was a bloody mess.

Is Your Sin Seed In Your Heart Or Your Brain?: Heart. You can just tell, can’t you? When you look at a person, I mean…

What Do You Hide In The Deepest Part Of You?: My boy. He’s far away. Even I can’t find him. I hope no one else can, either. He shouldn’t see any of this…

Is Your Hand Your Hand?: It don’t feel like it most of the time. Sometimes I don’t think it really matters!

Do You Remember Your Mother’s Face?: No. And I pray she don’t remember mine, neither. She wouldn’t like what she’d see there these days!

Skills:
Force 2
Conditioning 1

---

Agenda: Machine
• Put the work before your own needs.
• Take A Break

Ability: The Work - You can choose to gain +1D on any roll. If you do, take 1 stress for each time you’ve used this ability this mission (including this one). You can’t use this ability for the remainder of the hunt if you rest.

If your group rests, you can choose to excuse yourself from resting!

---

Blasphemy: Flux - Manipulate The Direction and Flow of Time Itself

Passive: Steal Time - Once a mission, you can re- roll all your resting dice for yourself or an ally, taking the second result as final.

Stop: Transmute, Instant, Self
You spend up to three psyche bursts to stop local time in an area around you equal to CAT. Roll 1d6 per psyche burst spent and add them together - that is how many seconds you have. Anything that enters this area is immediately affected (including anything put into or out of the area), but time flows normally outside the area. In this stopped time, you are unaffected and:

• you cannot use psychic powers, but neither
can you be affected by them. Any power
currently active from you or affecting you
other than this one dissipates.

• you can perform one activity or course of
action that fits in the duration. After you
would make an action roll for anything, the
effect ends no matter what.

Then, gain temporal instability.

Stutter: Instant, Short
You can briefly reverse time in order to alter causality for any event that happened as a result of an action roll made by you or an ally, instantly after you see the result. Re-roll the action roll completely, taking the second result as final.

When you use this power, gain temporal instability. If you use it again in the same scene, gain 1d3 temporal instability instead.

FIN

---

It’s done! Thanks for all the encouragement and threats of killing that which I had just created! I found that I definitely veer towards lighter systems and more vague character building. I guess I knew that, as I tend to let things play out in the game these days.

The days of combing through hundreds of pages of character options are pretty much done for me! The ones I enjoyed making most are probably the ones that inspire little nuggets of character building through questions or random tables.

Glad I did it! Glad it’s almost February!

#24: Apocalypse World



Rook
Playbook: The Maestro d'
Cool 0 | Hard +1 | Hot +2 | Sharp +1 | Weird -1
Moves
A devil with a blade: when you use a blade to go aggro, roll+hot instead of roll+hard.
Everybody eats, even that guy: when you want to know something about someone important (your call), roll+hot. On a hit, you can ask the MC questions. On a 10+, ask 3. On a 7-9, ask 1:
• How are they doing? what’s up with them?
• What or who do they love best?
• Who do they know, like and/or trust?
• When next should I expect to see them?
• How could I get to them, physically or emotionally?
On a miss, ask 1 anyway, but they hear about your interest in them.


Description: transgressing, display wear, porcelain face, mischievous eyes, lean body, precise hands

Gear & Barter
• Rook's Wicked Blade (2-harm hand)
• oddments worth 2-barter
• an assortment of piercingly bright and impossibly spotless silk shirts in an array of colors
• skintight leather pants
• a reinforced leather jacket that remains impeccably stylish (1-armor)

The Velvet Noose
Establishment: Main Act: Sex, 2 for lube: drinks, scene (see and be)
Atmosphere: velvet, perfume, nudity, dancing

Your regulars include: Lamprey, Ba, Camo, Toyota and Lits.
Who’s your best regular? Camo, he's good to the girls
Who’s your worst regular? Lamprey, he earned that name
These 3 NPCs have an interest in your establishment:
Been wants in on it
I owe Gams for it
Rolfball wants it gone, it competes with his girls

For security:
everybody’s packing: your cast & crew are a gang (2-harm gang small 0-armor)
the place is a warren of dead-ends, hideaways & boltholes

Mercy – The star dancer, the muscle, the one who decides who’s worthy.
Silk – The bartender, the confidant, the one who hears and remembers everything.
Evangeline – The prized courtesan, the slow-burn obsession, the one who makes you ache for her attention.
Dahlia – The untouchable dream, the one who makes you want what you can’t have.
Luka – The scarred temptation, the one who turns danger into seduction.
Cass – The shadow in the dark, the one who watches, waits, and never forgets.

Descriptions

Rook's porcelain face is almost too perfect, eerily smooth, unnaturally unlined and unblemished. Their mischievous eyes give nothing away, always holding a glint of amusement and perhaps a bit of danger, like they know a secret you don’t. They blur gender lines, refusing to fit into expectations, and they dress to be seen. Whether it’s a stylish long coat, a silk shirt open just enough, or a dramatic high-collared vest, they make sure all eyes are on them. No detail is accidental. When they move, they move with the grace and speed of a dancer or a knife fighter; their elegant movements are fluid, controlled, and always one step ahead. Whether they’re mixing a drink, lighting a cigarette, flipping a coin, or slipping a blade between ribs, Rook’s hands are always precise.


Rook’s Wicked Blade is equal parts elegance and menace. The blade started life as a 12-inch pair of razor-sharp scissors forged from blackened steel, with edges honed so fine they could split a hair lengthwise. When split apart, they become twin knives, deadly in both hands, the serrated exterior edges designed to bite deep and tear flesh as much as they cut. The handles are white bone, smooth and polished from years of use. When Rook wields them, it’s a performance, steel flashing under dim light, each movement precise, the knowledge that violence, if it comes, will be swift and artful. These aren’t tools for work. They’re tools for intimacy, for endings, for whispered warnings left in deep red ink.


The Velvet Noose is a den of pleasure and peril wrapped in perfume and low-lit decadence. Within its crimson-draped walls, bodies sway in hypnotic rhythm, skin is bared under flickering candlelight, and whispered promises slip from lips wet with liquor and filled with lies. Here, sex is art, seduction is currency, and the real game is played in glances and murmured deals. The air is thick with spice and sweat, drawing the desperate, the powerful, and the damned alike. Rook’s girls run the show. Mercy’s gaze decides who stays, Silk’s hands pour more than just drinks, Eve makes you ache with every lingering look, Dahlia teases you into obsession, Luka tempts you with a blade-sharp grin, and Cass watches from the dark, ready to strike. But the Noose isn’t just a brothel, it’s a fortress of hidden corridors, bolt holes, and blind corners, where every hand is armed, and no one leaves without paying their price. Whether you come to indulge, scheme, or simply be seen, one thing is certain, you don’t leave the Velvet Noose untouched.

Whoa, so many systems to learn and taking the time to make characters for each one, this was a great New Year's resolution done to completion KCC! Looking forward to the final character concepts ThatTaoGuy!

Reason: Excellent (20)
Intuition: Remarkable (30)
Psyche: Remarkable (30)

Secondary Abilities
Health: 28
Karma: 80
Resources: Feeble (2)
Popularity: Poor (4)

BACKGROUND
Real Name: Dr. Elias Vance
Occupation: Historian, Forensic Consultant
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States, No Criminal Record
Power Origin: Mutant
Identity: Secret (publicly known as a historian, but his abilities are hidden from the general public)
Place of Birth: Boston, Massachusetts
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: Helen Vance (Mother, Deceased), Arthur Vance (Father, Retired Archaeologist), Sarah Vance (Younger Sister, Journalist)
Base of Operations: An old library-turned-private office in Atlantic Harbor
Past Group Affiliations: None
Present Group Affiliations: None officially, Unofficial consultant for law enforcement, Occasional ally of paranormal investigators or vigilantes

Powers
Postcognition (Remarkable 30): Elias possesses the power of postcognition, allowing him to perceive past events by touching objects, people, or locations infused with strong memories. These visions come as fragmented, immersive experiences, sometimes crystal clear, other times distorted by emotional residue or gaps in the historical record. The stronger the event’s emotional or physical imprint, the more vivid the vision, but prolonged use can blur the line between past and present, leaving Elias mentally drained or haunted by echoes of history.

Telepathy (Good 10): Elias' telepathy is limited to the minds of those he perceives in his postcognitive visions, allowing him to briefly experience their thoughts, emotions, and instincts at the moment he is witnessing. He cannot alter their memories or communicate with them, only passively "tuning in" to their mental state as if overhearing echoes of their consciousness. The deeper he connects, the more intense the experience, risking emotional overload or even temporarily adopting the mindset of the person he’s observing. These whispered memories are how he arrived at his name.

Equipment: None
Talents: Archaeology
Contacts: Archaeologist, Journalist (sister)


Backstory
Originally, Elias believed his powers were useless beyond academia, using them to study ancient civilizations, uncover lost texts, and verify artifacts. His first major case came when he accidentally witnessed a crime scene’s past events while examining a historical site. When his insights helped solve the case, he was reluctantly drawn into law enforcement consulting. The mystery of his mother’s death is still his driving force, a case he cannot solve, even with his abilities, but the memories of what she experienced at the moment of her death haunts his dreams.

#27: Deeds, Not Words

Athletics: 1 jiu-jitsu
Subterfuge: 0

Maggie is a fighter, scrappy and tenacious. She wears the dresses, hats, and accoutrements that the suffragettes have decided upon to present a fashionable, feminine image when appearing in public, but is quick to toss them aside when in private. She struggles with patience; when words fail, she’s quick to escalate action. The police and anti-suffrage groups recognize her, making her a target for surveillance and arrest.

She's known among her friends as Dangerous Maggie for her quote at a rally. "They call us unnatural, unladylike, dangerous. If demanding my freedom makes me dangerous, so be it. I was never meant to be silent."

Weapons & Combat


Backstory
Description: A striking woman with sharp, observant green eyes and a perpetual layer of dust on her boots from her latest dig. Always wears a weathered leather satchel, filled with notes, relics, and a revolver she prays she never has to use.

Ideology/Beliefs: "History is written by the victors, but the truth lies beneath the earth." Evelyn is driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, determined to unearth the secrets of lost civilizations, even if they reveal horrifying truths.

Significant People:
Dr. Albert Hawthorne (mentor, deceased) – A fellow archaeologist who mysteriously vanished during a dig in Mesopotamia. His disappearance remains unsolved.
Clara Lockwood (younger sister, journalist) – Writes for the Providence Gazette and frequently warns Evelyn to stop digging into forbidden things.

Treasured Possessions:
Dr. Hawthorne’s Notebook – Found abandoned at the site of his disappearance, filled with cryptic hieroglyphs and symbols of unknown origin.
A Scarab Pendant – Retrieved from an Egyptian tomb, rumored to ward off death… or invite it.

Injuries & Scars:
A deep burn scar along her left forearm, from an "accident" during an excavation where something unnatural erupted from the sand.

Phobias & Manias
Claustrophobia – Developed after being trapped in a collapsed tomb for three days.

Equipment
-Leather Satchel (Notebook, revolver, ammo, flashlight, chalk, brushes)
-Pocket Watch (gift from her father)
-Field Kit (measuring tools, magnifying glass, gloves, canteen)
-Tattered Journal (filled with theories on lost civilizations and eldritch symbols)



Evelyn was once a respected academic at Miskatonic University, but after publishing an article about strange symbols that shouldn't exist, she was quietly dismissed. Now working independently, she investigates lost artifacts and forgotten histories, occasionally taking consulting work on unusual cases for private clients, some of whom know far too much.

Her current mission? Unravel the truth behind Dr. Hawthorne’s disappearance. But perhaps some truths should remain buried…
