I think I might give the cult leader guy there a 2 refresh discount on his second sponsored magic. It seems only fair.

On the other hand, he's going to be negative refresh anyway. So I suppose I might as well play it by the RAW.

Agreed on the might.  I'd give the discount if I was also stripping the focus / enchanted item slots from one of them; not otherwise.  Which depends on what sort of caster (s)he ends up being, really.

I got inspired by the dedresdenizing thread: create 2 characters with the (mostly) same set of aspects who are as different as possible. You've got the High concept free to use as you like, as well as the template. Level is Submerged, bonus points if you link them in the guest stories.

Trouble: that old gang of mine
Aspects: lies my parents told me, I've got you under my skin, are you now or have you ever been, the house always wins

(Yes, those are Angel episode titles)

Wow, this is a lot of requests. I wonder how many of these will get used? And what will they be used for, if they are used?

Anyway, here's the backstory of Robert Falls:

When Robert Falls was just a little boy, his father worked for the US military as an engineer working on newer and better nukes.

This was all well and good, until a nuclear test invoked the ire of a powerful Summer noble. Apparently nukes devastate the Nevernever as well as the physical world. The Nevernever behind any given nuke blast area is always a nasty place called The Wasteland.

The Summer noble named Miraz the Cat had lost his kingdom to a nuclear test, and he demanded that twenty children be given to him in exchange.

Dr Falls gave up his child, in the end. A clued-in General paid him well for that.

Robert Falls and the other nineteen children were unceremoniously dumped into The Wasteland by Miraz. This was considered to be a suitable revenge.

There they were forced to scavenge for their lives among the communities of desperate people who, in the aftermath of nuclear blasts, had been sucked into The Wasteland through the damaged veil between worlds.

Unlike most, Robert thrived in The Wasteland. He grew strong there. But is he strong enough to enforce his belief in justice on the world around him? Probably not.

On the upside, he managed to outlive Miraz. So he doesn't have to be afraid of further retribution anymore.

Mine are experiments, they will likely never be used. I thought about putting the concept up for everyone to create as many different characters from the same aspects as possible, but I thought you already made this thread, it wouldn't need extra.

[cybertier]

My request is me looking for different (better) ideas to implement what i want for my character ^^
I just came up with a Half-Naglooshii, trying to live a good life despite her very dark nature, which is kinda "meh..." imho.

[Sanctaphrax]

A reasonable request, but not one that fits this thread.

Why not start a new thread? It's probably a better way to get help anyway, since it gives you the help of people other than me.

Same goes for Samael, actually.

I used to think that Scholarship was the gaming skill, but I now prefer Performance. This hobby is more art than science, really. And it has a lot of social content.

Is this trouble aspect drawn from personal experience, by any chance?
