I think I might give the cult leader guy there a 2 refresh discount on his second sponsored magic. It seems only fair.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.
On the other hand, he's going to be negative refresh anyway. So I suppose I might as well play it by the RAW.
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?

"Sarah Brown"...
Here is an idea.I'm so making that my next character.
An Ectomancer who lost control and now has multiple spirits, some benevolent, some sadistic possessing him. While he has come to a sort of an arrangement to retain primary control of his body, these spirits do occasionally act out and do there own thing.
Glad to see that you're going somewhere with Kaku, I'm quite fond of him.And you should be. I don't think I would have ever come up with something like him.
PS: 3000 posts!Congratulations! :)
"Sarah Brown" (Submerged)Thanks for building that one. Got a far more tragic twist than what i thought off when i post my request but i like the idea.
High Concept: Fetch Changeling
I had an idea for a team of 5 PC's who each have a ring that grants them channeling corresponding to the elements fire, water, earth, air, and spirit. They are otherwise mortal. And when they combined their powers they can kind of summon some sort of representation of earth's power.(click to show/hide)
PS: Would be interested in hearing what people think of these golem fluff bits. I'm planning a series of Generic NPCs that might be created by wizards, and I'm debating whether or not to include this sort of flavour text. Thoughts?
Eighteen months ago, Warren's beloved daughter Sandra was killed in a freak accident involving two motorcycles and a quart of shaving cream.
@Wookinstien: Sort of. I'm pretty much done with this thread, but I'm still making characters. (I don't intend to stop any time soon, it's one of my main hobbies.) And I'm almost always looking for inspiration. So feel free to post a description.
With that in mind, here's hoping you respond to this one 8)

I figure Belaziel has enough fluff.
So I'll stick to Hubert Fuller right now.
Hubert Fuller was a mortal police detective until about two years ago. He had always wanted to be like the heroes of the movies and shows that he obsessed over, but real police work wasn't as eventful as the movies made it look.
Then a letter arrived in his mailbox, saying:
"Be advised that your city is likely to be destroyed within three years. If said event comes to pass, roughly 400 000 fatalities will result. You are, to the best of my knowledge, the only person with a good chance of preventing this. So prevent it.
-The Gatekeeper
Now, normally Hubert would have ignored this. But there were a few things about this letter that made it obviously magical. For one thing, it spoke its message out loud in a voice that nobody but Hubert could here. For another, it turned into a duck when its message was over.
So Hubert felt he had no choice but to obey the letter. Unfortunately, he had no idea where to start. His initial investigations got him turned by a Red Court Vampire, but they didn't produce much information. Fortunately, the Fellowship Of St Giles saved him before he could be fully turned.
Thanks to the fellowship, he's now pretty well clued in. He's also a fairly significant player in the local anti-Red struggles, partly because of his position in the police force. But he still has no idea what was up with the Gatekeeper's letter.
Alright, done.
So, what do people think of these two?
Bethany Maroon had a very odd childhood. Her mother was a unemployed welfare case, and her father was a redcap. They split the job of raising her.
For six months of every year, Bethany lived a fairly normal life with her mother.
For the other six months, she was raised by a redcap warband which brought her along as they wandered Faerie killing things.
Bethany stayed out of their fights, since she lacked the supernatural deadliness of her father. But after every battle, she went to see if there were any valuables to be had on the corpses of the dead. Often there were some, which really helped Bethany and her mother get by.
Living in poverty half the time and with supernatural monsters the other half taught Bethany the importance of money and the fact that, with enough creativity, it was very possible to get a lot of it.
Now Bethany is nineteen, and she's out in the world looking to make her fortune. In this she is accompanied by a young man named Jim, her friend and sort-of boyfriend. (She likes him, but the fact that she looks like an eleven-year-old kid makes her interest a bit creepy for him).
She's got scavenging skills, supernatural durability, and a head full of bizarre schemes. He's got a magical ability to blow stuff up. Together, they're going to get rich or die trying.
Here's a weird request: a Were-Jackalope
wings, antlers, rabbit body...
claws - wings, impossible leaps?...probably diminuitive size?
At least 3 Templates, Stunts, Powers, Primary Skills, or Aspects please.
Also, what is a jackalope?
Texas harbors a species of the dreaded Jackalope. Its known for chasing down trucks and robbing them of beer, although its a mystery why he only attacks those with large quantites of beer. 8)
