So I've decided to completely resign two of my characters - Capilla and Finan.
My young friends may have been fine players in D&D, but theirs were the lamest pair of characters. It really mystified me why an otherwise creative role-player gave me such a shit character in Capilla. I thought she was nine, and not four years old. A cat raised by ogres? Really? Finan had a very generic backstory. He could've been great if played well, but I wasn't impressed. Nothing about him is memorable, save things I introduce to make him passable. The mysterious silent guy trope is overdone and unsuitable for this role. It's enough for Volen, the mystic archer in The Heist, to become canon.
Replacing Capilla is Alessa, young priestess in the Sisters of the Moon. She is about twelve years of age, pale complexion, and a long jet-black curtain hair falling to just below her hips. She styles it differently depending on her chosen mantra or prayer. I'll need Lisa's help with details for styles. Like Capilla, most of her priestess powers are of an emotional nature, for such is the nature of The Moon. Most Sisters of the Moon are adept in this lunar school of magick, but Alessa is unusually gifted among her peers (Thus fulfilling Merlin's prophecy which Lucius believed applied to him).
Replacing Finan is Edwin, misfit apprentice turned anarchist warlock. Son of a wealthy lord, he forsook his family estate in order to pursue chaos magick. He had to get by on wits and hard work. He began using magick to get immediate results, like money and jobs, sometimes shady ones. We meet him in Port Everlast as a graduating college student, living and working at the Linfang Inn. He may or may not have had a complicated relationship with Kithri Lionfang. I haven't decided if he is an extrovert or an introvert, or if he wears a mohawk. I think he is covered in tattoo and piercings. He is either a short human or a hafling. Either way, he hates the establishment. He criticizes the "Great Order", calling it an elitist establishment pushing their agenda in world affairs. He should be a hero to the rebelling young atheists of our age.
This is it for now, more notes coming at later posts, I'm sure.
