My brainstorming with a friend has given me 2 sets of aspects to share:
High Concept Aspect:
Vigilante Sorcerer
You're a sorcerer, and you're laying down the law in your own way, Batman style.
Invoke: Laying the smackdown with magic or other implements. You can't let injustice pass you by. You have to do something about it.
Compel: You can't let injustice pass you by. You have to do something about it.
Trouble Aspect:
"Good....Bad...I'm the guy with the Bat..."You have a real problem with the conventional "Justice" system.
Invoke: To rightly punish those that would prey on the innocent.
Compel: You may get a little carried away and end up walking the gray magic line of the laws of magic...or worse.
Arcane Pack RatYou have collected an extensive collection of arcane knowledge and other....stuff. Lore books here, fallen warlocks' magical trinkets there, the
Blood of Kemmler under the uneven coffee table leg.
Invoke: While researching, you look through your collection of stuff for something you already have.
Compel: You cannot walk into a bookstore, hobby shop, Walmart or someone else's lab without adding to your collection some new material components, arcane trinkets or the newest issue of Full Metal Alchemist (For inspiration, you know....)
Alpha GeekBefore all this happened you were a geek. You are a walking library of trivia, lore and knowledge about various fictional franchises and esoteric topics and most of it is practically useless. But it matters to you Gorram it!....
Invoke: Solve a problem using as inspiration a similar situation from an episode of Star Trek and subsequent conclusions compiled by the Mythbusters. (Did I mention this aspect belongs to my Sorcerer character?)
Compel: You are the Alpha geek and got to that position through careful study and through arguing your points of view. You don't know how times someone has said "Luke, I am your father" only for you to correct them and mock them for their stupidity. (I can already see this getting compelled in the heat of battle)
"There's always time to stop and think."You take your time make decisions. You concider the situation, pull out your sharpee and write down your thoughts. Equations, diagrams and stuff...
Invoke: Just about anything.
Compel: You have no plan so you have to stop and think even if a Gruff is coming around the corner with a machine gun. Plus, if you write your thoughts in sharpee, other people can read it.
From a friend's character:
High Concept Aspect:
The Last Disciple of ThorSelf explanatory. Only here to give perspective.
Not a very good Viking.
You suffer from Hydrophobia.
Invoke: To get the heck out of this WATER!
Compel: "I can't go in there. There's WATER in there!"
OLD fashioned kind of guy.
You were born in a different time, literally.
Invoke: To settle things the old fashioned way. You could also invoke to remember first hand knowledge of a certain period of time.
Compel: Modern society kicks your ass.
For another character:
Old Man, Young FaceYour Wizard's Constitution has allowed you to age really well.
Invoke: At almost a Century old, you still pass for 16. Being almost a century old you remember tons of stuff and know people's grandfathers on a first name basis.
Compel: At almost a Century old, you still pass for 16. It's hell to renew your Driver's license every 10 years.
I still don't know if these aspects work or if I'm just insane.
