I would've missed it if not for this thread.
Anyway, it looks like the project's off to a great start. They ought to reach their last announced stretch goal pretty soon, and there's still 28 days to go...
One question before I go on, for the Fae, as they would do something like that, why would Maeve do that? Like, do you think there's a compelling interest for her to do it outside of just because, even though Fae fit that bill?
As for the curse, I'm FAVORING kind of a mixture between a Loup Garou where she gets urges to be a mermaid, in addition to the normal situations where she would have to defend herself. I was thinking for that drowning as a possible impulse, some inspiration from normal mermaids and Pirates 4.
In addition, me personally (as its my character haha) I'm favoring a male turned female all the time, with the addition of the curse turning her into a mermaid. I was thinking it would be amusing of a 'learning yourself again' and getting into those awkward situations as simple as wearing a dress as a distraction but acting all manly cause of no experience as a lady. That's where Im a tad held up as I do want the Fae involved but I dont know how. I do like the idea of the Winter Court being involved however with Maeve or maybe even Mab, as shes the one who would seem powerful enough to permanent gender bend an individual and change their species at will. But, I dont know how or what history. That's also where I was thinking that the drama could be as its living with the consequences of being a mermaid as, well, I like the idea of being tempted but I also like it as well of no temptation and 'it is what it is and youre stuck with it period.'
or a male turned female mermaid due to the natures of the Fae and their whimsical looks on humanity and toying with them
That's the idea Im trying to roll with is a landlocked mermaid in Oklahoma as I feel that brings some initial drama to the character. Any suggestions? Im still trying to figure out as well how I want the character compelled, so if I want a female cursed or tempted by power turned into one or male to female cursed by a trickster Fae due to something like a broken promise from the male. Any suggestions on that point as well?Originally I was just going to post for fun but now I'm going to try to offer some real help. I think one thing that might help you to decide is determine what conflicts down the road do you want to see with the character? Players have a lot more sway over the narrative than is typically the case in other games. If it's a female and she's cursed, what's the disadvantage of being cursed or why is she cursed? Does having water tossed on her cause her to grow gills and make her unable to breathe air? Was her mother (or father) a merperson who serves the Court of Atlantis or another group of Fae so the character has to do something as a favor to them? Did she just so happen to pick up a cursed conch that made its way inland and now every so often she gets mermaid impulses to drown somebody (similar to the Loup-Garou and the full moon)?

Goodbye.
You can get Venture City on DriveThru for pay what you want. However, I would wait a bit, because they will put the kickstarted powers supplement in there as well at some point, and that's definitely worth the wait. Or get the stories PDF free now and join in once the power supplement arrives.
I don't really remember the Grave Peril scene like that though. Lea isn't kept out of the graveyard, Harry is trying to get to the stream of water, because Kravos wouldn't have been able to cross it, so he and Charity would have been safe. Lea only came into the game when Harry called her for help, but she wasn't hindered in any way.Yeah...like I said it has been quite a long time lol.
I don't know anything about the magical physics of the Dresdenverse, but it'd be really lame if you could negate a sworn oath with running water."But Nicodemus you promised that you would give us all of the Denarian coins back!" - Harry Dresden, Dresden Files Book #20
"You gave me your word!"
"On a boat! It doesn't count!"
She is touched by Khorne, the outsider blood god, and these kills are blood for the blood god! The distraction is that she doesn't want her enemies to back off. Every death in battle is a sacrifice to him, and the greater the violence, the greater the gift. Blood for the Blood God!!!
And the best part is that after she raises those who have died in the conflicts, they can be sacrificed again.
Best part, part II: she can raise the dead of either side of the conflict, so no matter what happens, she wins.
Best part, part III: since she's a necromancer, she can store her heart or soul or whatever in a phylactery off site in a nasty part of the NeverNever that is full of chaos and strife, and as long as she has even a milliliter of blood left in her system, Khorne will raise her from the dead and regenerate her body.
Best part, part IV: Khorne is so happy with the work she's been doing that if she gets 666 kills in his name, his avatar will personally visit her and lead her legions of undead in a glorious wave of conquest.
Pick it up as an IoP: +2 rebate, -1 Wings, -2 Inhuman Speed. That would be fun to have during the game, forget the whole flame spirit thing.
As for the Native American aspects,(click to show/hide)
After rereading I see what you were trying to say. And I'd argue that Mab doesn't enforce the Accords at all, she just wrote them. She's as beholden to them as any other signer. The enforcers of the Accords are every other signer. Kinda like how the UN is governed by the body of countries and not a single one, if one country acts up they all smack them down.
