Hi all! I've posted character sheets and a link to the rules in the game, feel free to ask any questions and introduce yourselves!
SO BELOW (ooc thread)
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
Jul 25, 2025 12:53 pm
Alright,I'm here. I assume we shouldn't expect any notable deviations from the existing rules and setting? Though I suppose we have ample time to talk it out.
Anyway,my PC. I'm thinking of playing a Smother Machine or Hardline,sort of a rigid ex-PMC/intelligence type. Or maybe an Edit or Sympathy/ Songbird or Torch.

Hi, thanks for inviting me in. Looking a bit at the rules. Jaunt, Gate or Edit seem appealing.
Agenda not fully sure on yet what to think of those

Currently, I'm eyeing the Demon or Sorcerer Agendas. Something like a Sympathy Demon could be interesting

Hi everyone! Looking forward to starting this game with y'all. I'm initially feeling interested in a firebug with, in order of priority:
1. smother
2. sympathy
3. gate

Possibly leaning towards a Bind Sorcerer, after reviewing my options for what can go wrong the worst

Forbidden Spirit doesn't cost an action to do before the Sin takes their action, right? And I'm a bit confused on how it's resolved. They get +1D to their action, but grow to Cat+1 size, but roll Psyche to determine effects.

Wait… no, because it reverts to normal size. Huh. I guess it just rolls with PSYCHE instead of the normal skill. Still, even though your psyche starts pretty low it’s not bad considering that a higher category would allow it to do things that are ordinarily impossible, and make things that are normally hard a normal roll.
Jul 26, 2025 2:10 am
But...Does that mean that the +1D is to the psyche roll, not the action? And that it replaces whatever skill it'd normally roll by with psyche? That seems like an actual downgrade, if it was say, a 2-dice skill.
Jul 26, 2025 2:14 am
I am brand-spanking new to the system, so gimme a little time to do some reading and I'll start working on a character.
Jul 26, 2025 2:38 am
Also, everyone. As part of creating your characters, I’d like you to answer the following questions:
- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
- What do you regret?
- What do you hate?
- What do you fear?
- What hurts?
I’d also like everyone to give me a list of lines and veils for this game. Lines being things you absolutely don’t want in the game at all, and veils being things that can be mentioned and exist, but can’t be shown "on screen."

One last thing: there is an optional supplemental system for CAIN involving Virtues, a group of elite exorcists that serve as mentors and/or aspirations for the characters. You can form a bond with a certain virtue, eventually gaining access to a small fraction of their power, essentially giving you a weird unique blasphemy. If people are interested in using this system, lemme know.
If you wanna check out the system, it’s in "Games for Freaks vol. 1" which can be found on itch.io for free.

Given the setting,I think I don't have any lines and veils to note at the moment,but I have no problem complying with everyone else's. Seems like the kind of thing to review at the start of each hunt.
With that said,it seems like some of the Blasphemies I mention are also wanted by others,but it shouldn't be a problem if there's overlap in Blasphemy/agenda if we take different abilities,right?

It's not against the rules by any means, especially if there's a particular character you want to play, but I'd like to at least minimize overlap, partially just because I want to test how as many different blasphemies and agendas all play.
Jul 26, 2025 5:01 am
Right,even though I spoke first everyone else came with somewhat overlapping choices so I may wait until everyone has solidified their decisions before making mine.
Aegis and Ardence haven't been spoken for,maybe one of those.
Also,is the character sheet on the game page directly copy and paste-able or is there some other way I can get it where it needs to be? I'm still not very familiar with how this site works.

I see a lot of people having multiple interests in what characters to go.
As far as I can see, I am the only one with an intherest in jaunt?
So let me take that, to avoid overlaps in gate or edit (my other interests).
I am thinking loner.

Erasmus Doyle
Agenda: Sorcerer
Blasphemy: Binding(Hound-Type Sin[Codename: ORION])
- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
Well, his official and technically correct answer is that CAIN maintains a standing execution order on his head, as they do with all Binders. Thus, he will likely remain in CAIN's employ until he dies, for the sake of self-preservation. The latter reasoning, however, is untrue. It is not to preserve himself, but his bound Sin.
- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
Our little Erasmus was, perhaps predictably, a bit of a loser. He was universally, the favored punching bag of his local highschool, with the only highlight of his life not being the cold, disapproving look of his father nor the callous indifference of his mother, but a local stray beagle whom he often saved some of his lunch for every day, waiting for him in an alleyway down by the school's entrance.
Unfortunately, those same bullies found out, and decided to snuff out the one thing in his life that he looked forward to every day. According to local camera records, four hours after the incident, seven minutes after he had left school and entered into the alleyway, a CAT 1 Hound-type Sin incident occurred.
CAIN Exorcists responded half an hour later to find several dozen students dead, only some of whom had slighted Erasmus, and school property visibly defaced with bite and claw marks, most prominently damaged being Erasmus' classroom. The Exorcists also found Erasmus with the Hound-type manifestation, and after reporting back to Castle, gave Erasmus the choice protocol dictated whenever a Form III manifestation was recorded.
After some hesitation, Erasmus accepted.
- What do you regret?
One might think Erasmus regrets some of the deaths and damage, at least. But no. Rather, he regrets that he did not carry it out himself, that he was so weak the burden was transferred upon his beloved friend instead, who was compelled to do his dirty work for him. Perhaps if he had the guts to, Orion would still be alive, rather than in the form it is now.
- What do you hate?
Erasmus resents a lot, and quite unreasonably too. He resents the poor living conditions given out by Castle, he resents having to risk his life, he resents the constant threat of execution above his head...But what he hates is another matter entirely. He despises, with all of his heart, himself. In his eyes, he lives only to selfishly allow this fragmented demon that resembles Orion to live another moment on this earth, cursed and misbegotten as reality turned out to be.
- What do you fear?
Although the investigation case files are sealed to him, privately, Erasmus fears that the Sin manifestation did not come from the death of his friend exactly, but more indirectly....From him. It gnaws at him, the possible weight of so much wanton death and destruction. Was that what he would've wanted? It was Orion's actions...But could he have controlled it? Had he even tried, or had he simply watched, perhaps feeling a spark of unwholesome vindication flare in his heart?
- What hurts?
Whenever he looks into Orion's eyes, seeking any traces of what might have been the only loyal soul to him in this world, he only sees insensate rage and bloodlust, little more. Whenever he does, another small part of his heart crumbles into ash.

As for the optional Virtues system, I'd certainly be willing to give it a try, although I don't know which ones fit well. Faith would fit well lore-wise, but Null is the precise opposite of what Erasmus might want. Law would suit him the best mechanically, but funnily enough Law dislikes dogs, which Erasmus in turn would also disapprove of.
Jul 26, 2025 3:21 pm
On that topic I think for a couple of first time players,there's plenty to engage with without the virtue system,but I'm not averse to using it if consensus swings that way.

My first draft.
Chloe Clemence, X355
Loner Jaunt
- How did you first manifest your powers ?
Five years ago. A sunday in church when I was 13. So boring. Catholic masses. I was bored. I went for a walk. Without leaving my seat that is. I Geisted out of my body.
- What do you hide in the deepest parts of you?
I like the feeling of being someone else. I like taking possession of other people a bit too much.
- Is your hand your hand?
Yes. My hands are quite normal. For now.
- Do you remember the face of your mother?
My mother cried when I was taken by CAIN. She cried for the shame I brought upon the family. I was unclean. Marked.
I still remember mother pressing a crucifix into her palm, praying.
- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
I have been told about the devil and hell all my life. Evil may not win. I am not sure if Sins qualify as the devil. But I can't let them win.
- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
A sunday at hime when I was 16. Mom had called a priest. There was to be an excorsism. A catholic one. I possessed the priest. I am not sure what exactly happened. I hear that he woke up in the hospital 6 months later and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since.
- What do you regret?
There was a girl, Anne, in class during my high school years. She was kind to me. I used her as a test subject anyway.
- What do you hate?
When people are kind to me. A gentle touch. Kind words. Helping. I never know if they mean it or not.
- What do you fear?
That the "Sin" inside me is just an excuse. This wasn’t fate. This is who I've always been. Evil, rotten, corrupted.
- What hurts?
The mirror.

Jul 26, 2025 5:10 pm
One more thing before I get to answering those questions. I thought of a little quirk that my PC could have that may be a minor supernatural phenomenon not directly related to Sins or Blasphemy.
Basically they're a former PMC soldier and at some point before or at the manifestation of their powers,information regarding their service history became blotted out from the flow of time,so any time anyone tries to reference or record relevant information it comes out as audiovisual static,or as [REDACTED] in print,leaving most of their recent history unavailable to the authorities.
But obviously CAIN has a way around this and likely knows anything worth noting.
Do you think that would work?

So I'd always have 1 sin out of 10 in the meter? Might be an interesting thing to work with then.
To be clear,the redaction only applies to the time when they were on duty,and not to any current events. Still,I'll take it.

Hardline/Smother
- How did you first manifest your powers ?
Was takin' a walk one day, lookin' for something to fill my days since I found myself at the end of my contract. Saw this guy I knew, cryin' and pissin' himself on the roof of a convenience store, sayin' something about how the VA and the whole damn country didn't care about soldiers like him. Ever since we came back from [REDACTED] he'd grown more and more disillusioned about his time with the [REDACTED] Division and that was the last straw, I guess. He put a gun to his head. I tried to stop him. Never been more relieved to see a gun jam in my life. Turns out I made that happen. Well, maybe a few times. But then he realized if he couldn't make a bullet hit him fast, he could still hit the ground fast. Yeah...didn't stick around for the cleanup.
- What do you hide in the deepest parts of you?
Love! Love for this stinkin' world and all the filthy animals on it! But...who deserves to be loved by a monster?
- Is your hand your hand?
Unless old Sawbones sewed on the wrong hand when an IED took mine off back in [REDACTED], I'm sure.
- Do you remember the face of your mother?
That bitch? Nah, I don't. No one who does what she did to their kids is worth remembering.
- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
Well, it's that or the firing squad, right? Besides, it's a job I'm more suited for than waiting tables or writing letters.
- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
Like I told ya, I tried to save an old buddy. No one got hurt except him. He's lucky. He's not hurtin' no more.
- What do you regret?
The whole damn business. I knew what I was getting into the moment I signed up. Knew what I'd be doing to people who didn't deserve it. Didn't even have the excuse of "serving my country" or I'd have enlisted. But hey, it was a living and I got to shoot some real big guns, right?
- What do you hate?
When people are cruel to each other. Cold. In the petty ways. Not everyone gets to call in a strafing run that turns as many as [REDACTED] people into a red paste. Everyone gets to look away from the homeless and the sick.
- What do you fear?
One day I'll kill again. And I won't feel a damn thing.
- What hurts?
Lots of places. The scars. I go to sleep in pain and I wake up in pain. I better, else I might forget.

I've submitted Erasmus. As mentioned, he's a Sorcerer/Bind, mostly relying on his Sin for combat. He's decent at tracking with it as well, for a bit of added utility.
Jul 26, 2025 11:34 pm
I have a flight back home this evening and ill see if I cant get my character all made by tonight. I am a-ok with making a character based on what is left so that others don't have to go out of their way to accommodate my stated preferences in the mean time.
Jul 27, 2025 1:37 am
There we go,I've locked in Bonham as my character choice I guess. Submitted the character sheet.
Jul 27, 2025 6:48 pm
I have completed and submitted my character sheet except for the most difficult part - art work.
Jul 27, 2025 7:31 pm
Alright, then, still waiting on @Arkvoi and @MaJunior characters and then we can get started!
Jul 27, 2025 8:25 pm
OK, so just double checking...
We have a Binding Sorcerer, a Jaunt Loner, and a Smother Hardline?
Just so I know what's still open.

Alright, character sheet is done and I'm finishing typing the answers to the questions. I have a Gate Firebug.

- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
I used to be on a fire crew. My last run, we were responding to a pretty serious fire. Most of the apartment building had already gone up in flames, and my team had to split between floors to get as many people out as possible. I was the only one on the first floor, searching for a lost kid. By the time I had found her, the fire had strangled all the exits. I panicked, and my mind went blank. Made stupid by fear, I remember desperately trying to hack through a wall I thought might be thin enough to get us outside. The last thing I recalled was the primal, animal instinct to escape.
We found ourselves outside shortly after that. Me, the kid, and most of the lower floor, a couple of blocks away from the apartment building. It was only a couple of moments after that before the dust and smoke from the collapsing building washed over us. I wish I could go back, wish I could be the me that thought that I wasn't responsible for burying my whole team under so many tons of concrete and steel.
- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
Seeing the faces of the people I save keeps me going. I fight to atone for the people I couldn't save.
- What do you regret?
I regret that I didn't do more with the time that I had. That I didn't help more people. That I didn't appreciate the time I had.
- What do you hate?
People punch-drunk on the thrill of destruction, blinded by the lies they tell themselves about how it couldn't happen to them. They haven't seen it yet, how fragile it all is.
- What do you fear?
I fear that the tide can't be pushed back forever. Every single day I see more and more cracks in everything.
- What hurts?
My knees! Ha.
- Is your sin-seed in your brain or in your heart?
My heart.
- What do you hide in the deepest parts of you?
My desire to escape my responsibilities.
- Is your hand your hand?
Yes. I wish it weren't.
- Do you remember the face of your mother?
It's a blur. The only face I don't remember. Why?

Alrighty, as I'm totally new to the system please let me know if I missed anything or messed anything up on the sheet... but I think I'm ready.

- What keeps you going? Why do you continue to fight for CAIN?
Honestly? Spite more'n anything. Plus, they let me cut loose. Hell, they give me an excuse. The fact I can give in and there might be some good that comes from it? I'd like t' say it comes from some place o' goodness, but honestly I just like the freedom.
- When/how did you manifest your powers? Who got hurt?
I was 17. Some guy got a li'l mouthy an' a li'l handsy with a broad I was hangin' out with. When I got involved, he real quick decided he actually didn't want these hands afterall and he'd be going now thankyouverymuch. He was fast. I was faster. So much faster. Beat his ass pretty bad, did some time in jail. Don't regret it at all. I still have the eyeball I took outta his skull hidden away.
It makes me happy.
- What do you regret?
That I don't have a matching set.
- What do you hate?
People, mostly. Look, there are good folks out there that mean well an' try to do right. That's fine. But they're th' minority. Too many people would be more useful mulchin' the trees.
- What do you fear?
Nothin'.
- What hurts?
Being stabbed. Shot. Electrocuted. Burned. Frozen (but usually not till later). Broken bones. Like, do y'need a comprehensive list?
- Is your sin-seed in your brain or in your heart?
Fuck if I know. One o' the medical nerds said it's in my brain though, so take that f'r what it's worth.
- What do you hide in the deepest parts of you?
My last fuck.
- Is your hand your hand?
What th' shit does that even mean? Whose else would it be? You damn nerds and your stupid questions, trying to be deep an' philosophical. Stick to World of Warcraft.
- Do you remember the face of your mother?
Yeah. I ain't been hit in th' head that many times. Yet. Why you askin', you wanna date? Pretty sure my Dad'll make sure you don't leave the farm, but knock yerself out ace. Best o' luck.

Last call for any lines and veils, I’m putting finishing touches on the sin right now.
Jul 30, 2025 7:45 am
@TheHumbug so what did we just watch? I assume it's the typical staticy low res surveillance footage?
How do you all want to get started? Personally I'd like to retrieve and review the video footage of March 9-10 to see if anything happened in the hospital to trigger the emergence of the Sin on 11th and who the host might be.

No footage, that's up to you to get. Pretty much just a powerpoint, with relevant information about the person CAIN interviewed. Probably a photo, too, but I'm too lazy to edit something right now.
I'm generally just gonna use SEER event logs for exposition, if it becomes too confusing let me know, I can simplify it. It's a fun activity for me but it might become distracting for you all.

Alright then,so we do have something to grab from the hospital that might help.
Though I'll go with whatever line of inquiry the group decides on.

Available leads I see at the moment for y'all:
- Talk to the orderly
- Scope out the hospital

- Look for other people who were involved in the encounter

If they wouldn't send Faith to bad-touch Orion, Erasmus would definitely consider that. For now, though, since Hunting Spirit can extend Orion out to an Extreme Range from Erasmus, once they arrive at the hospital he'll send Orion out to see if he can pick up any tracks of the BBEB
Jul 30, 2025 10:24 am
With that said,I think Bonham and one other member of the team can try to ply the staff for information. Maybe one sets up the other to give them a chance to investigate.
So maybe one of three branches?
- Question receptionist/head nurse or what have you
And then one of:
- Examine autopsied staff member who was strangled/retrieve their autopsy report
- Question surviving but injured staff
- Retrieve and review security reports

Erasmus isn't the most sociable, so he'll sit out of that unless someone needs something stolen
Jul 30, 2025 10:52 am
Well,two of the three following options potentially involve sneaking around. But in my opinion his scan with Hunting Spirit is just as likely to yield results.

We can always do all of the above, with Hunting Spirit too. Although Burst usage would take possibly away from the inevitable execution.
Jul 30, 2025 6:03 pm
Anyone who isn't decided yet can say they took the same bus as Bonham, giving them a chance to plan a bit before arrival.
As I've said it's probably a good idea to go in with at least a bit of a plan.

As an answer to chloe's question, C091 meant either CAT 1 or CAT 2, the idea of 2 ogres in the same place at the same time is unheard of.

@TheHumbug let's get this out of the way: I'm going to assume that generally everyone in the hospital is affected by Black Suit? Also,would it apply to uses of Negotiation for questioning or does it have to specifically involve "I order you to do this" or "do this or something bad will happen"?
And I also think it might help if we made our character sheets visible via the character library,so that we can reference what each of us can do at a given time and form plans.
Just a suggestion though,I'm not insisting on it.

Just to make it clear, has the party decided to split? I got the idea that everyone was generally heading to the hospital at least. If that's the case, you're probably on the same bus, since you'd have to wait 15-30 minutes for the next bus heading towards that area.
Jul 30, 2025 8:37 pm
Guess I made an assumption about how extensive Erasmus' search is. If he is taking off, I'd like to make sure he isn't alone. If not, then I'll wait while he finishes his search and then move forward to the next lead.
Oh, I see that we are talking about heading to the hospital. Then yeah I'm on the first bus.

Are we still on the bus or have we arrived? Since details were posted about the hospital, I had assumed we'd arrived. I can retcon if not.
Jul 30, 2025 9:24 pm
You've both arrived and not arrived. If you want to do anything before arriving like talking with your fellow exorcists, you can do so, but you can also begin the investigation and leave the bus. Part of the intention of the SEER timestamps is to create a sort of log of events so you can stage your posts either before or after those events. If you'd like, you can even give your own timestamps to fit them into things. I plan on creating a megadoc at the end of every investigation so you can see your achievements and the events of the investigation all laid out.
I just find that when it comes to PBP it's best to keep things moving as forward as players want, and then take steps back in time if necessary. As long as an event hasn't happened in narrative that would prevent you from saying "I want to do this before we arrive" or something of the like, you can jump around a bit temporally.

For example, we know that erasmus is going to be occupied from between 07:43:04 and 07:50:37, but everyone else is allowed to do whatever during that time. If you don't post that you're doing something, though, I'm going to automatically assume that you're waiting, so that we don't get stuck with nothing happening, which is what kills PBP in my experience.
Jul 30, 2025 9:33 pm
I'll wait a day to give others a chance to put in what they want, or until everyone's replied. Don't want to get too far ahead and have Erasmus trying to solo a Sin xP
Jul 30, 2025 9:36 pm
Yeah, I'd like to talk to the orderly next but I will wait for the others as well.

Just as a heads up, I do most of my posting in the mornings (I'm UTC/GMT -8). After that, it depends a lot on how work is going. It's rare I post in the evenings, but not entirely unheard of.

I don't interact with earlier scenes any more. My mind is very flat time line directed. Flashbacks and time travel make me lose track of a game in seconds.

Since things are kicking off,I wanted to clarify something.
There's no restriction on what form our service weapons take until they are produced using KP within missions,right?
Which means like,I could produce a sword one mission and a hammer in another mission.
And the only restriction is that they do damage according to the CAT allotted to them.

Also, sorry to Heyde for so thoroughly putting Chloe through the wringer. But also not sorry. This game is built to kill you, and this isn't even the worst shit I'm going to pull on you all. Not even coming close.

Just for a point of clarifiication...Normal people can't really hurt or see Sins, so whomever might be attacking Orion is pretty much limited to either an Exorcist or a Sin, right?
Aug 2, 2025 5:46 pm
Yep!
Also, correction on my earlier thing, forgot how cantrip works, so cantripped ORION is only cat 1 size.

Btw, I don't think it was answered: Did rolling that 1 on the risk roll count as Inviting Disaster for his Sorcerer agenda? XP
Aug 2, 2025 9:45 pm
I’m gonna go back and review XP stuff when the "session" ends, I’m not really thinking about it right now.
I would say no, though. Making a risky roll is just a part of playing the game, inviting disaster would be consciously doing something that you know is probably a bad idea.
