Here's a first cut of Daniel Carpenter, all grown up in Ghost Story:

Daniel Carpenter (Up To Your Waist)

Trouble Aspect: Angry Young Man
Other Aspects: Bad Guys Hate My Family, Nobody Hurts the Carpenters, Faced Down Fetches and Survived, Something to Prove, The Invincibility of Youth

Skills:
Great: Conviction
Good: Athletics, Endurance, Weapons
Fair: Alertness, Discipline, Fists, Might
Average: Craftsmanship, Driving, Empathy, Scholarship

Stunts:
Total Refresh Cost:
Refresh Total:

He's a Pure Mortal, but not sure about Stunts. Perhaps Resilient Self Image and On My Toes?

Aspects look great.

Skills are pretty good, although I would probably give him a bit of Intimidation and maybe some Presence. Some of his lower skills are probably just guesswork, so there's room for change.

As for stunts:

Just about the only information we have about Daniel's specific skills is that he's been trained to fight against supernaturally fast opponents.

As such, I suggest stunts giving +2 to Athletics dodge and +1 to Weapons attack against opponents with Speed powers.

Ironically, I had both of those in at Average before deciding to go with Craftsmanship and Scholarship instead.

Custom ones? Is that one Stunt or two? I could see the first being a twist on Acrobat, +1 to Athletics to dodge melee attacks, with a further +1 against opponents using Supernatural Speed.

That'd two custom stunts.

Tweaking existing stunts seems like a mistake here, creating new ones is easier and more effective. Also more aesthetically pleasing, which I care about even if most people don't.

Could you stat up the Eebs and the Ik'k'uox ?. I'd also like to see a build of Gard with her axe from Even Hand as it's probably an Item of Power being able to deflect magic,as well as Marcone's anti magic musket ball. Seeing Mag's Stats would be cool as well.

The ick has been done a couple of times. Once by Deadmanwalking, and once by vultur.

vultur did his version today, so maybe it was aimed at you. I don't know.

I could take a shot at the Eebs and the Even Hand crowd if you describe them. Changes was a long time ago and I never read Even Hand.

Yeah, I just forgot to post a link here as I planned, thanks for linking to it...

And some fomor (Mag, the weird 'warped beast' gorilla-things, and two 'generic fomor thugs').

In Even Hand Gard has an axe covered in a finite amount of runes along the blade that were capable of weakening or turning aside powerful magical attacks for a limited time though she still took a certain amount of  damage from them. Marcone has an 18th century flintlock dragoon pistol  that  shot an anti-magic/ward musket ball  which Gard said after making it she was knocked out for three weeks.

I know this somewhat of an odd request but could someone do Vitto Malvora?. For being skilled with weapons and guns, having faster speed and reaction time then both Lara and Thomas according to Harry and a good pain threshold to have his leg on fire the entire duel,the poor guy has no stunts what so ever.

Sorry, I don't remember enough about Vitto to provide stats.

But by posting here you reminded me about your earlier requests.

Gard's axe is a simple enchanted item providing armour against magical attacks.

The musket ball is a thaumaturgical ritual. Not sure exactly what it did from your description, but it's probably a counterspell. Either that or a block against magic. I'd charge a hefty complexity tax for the ability to store it for later use, if I were GMing.

PS: Will write up tengu tomorrow.

Thanks. I'd never figured Gard's axe would be so simple,but it works and as for Marcone the bullet is designed to pierce through magical defenses, so a counter spell would probably be the most effective choice to do it.

White Night is my favorite out of the three "vampire duel"  climaxes after Changes, which where the request came from. As for Vittorio's stats I don't really see a reason for changing anything aside from giving him some stunts to work with.
 I'd suggest:
Fleet of Foot
Mighty Leap
Too Fast to Hit
Fast Reload
Hand-Eye Coordination
Quick Draw
