[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 6783848, member: 48394"] Okay, here is the first round of concept ideas- feedback is welcome (especially on technical matters, since I am new to this rule set). These are not in any particular order- some of them also have background elements in common, with a slightly different spin... 1. (if Potential Psychic role is open) [sblock= Latent Telepath] -Occupation: Student (or Celebrity) -Base Class: Charimatic (MC into Dedicated, then to Telepath) -Starting feats: Wild Talent, Educated -Best stats: CHA, WIS -Capsule: Tasha was a child TV star, until she turned nine and the voices in her head started. Her parents tried everything over the years, and the stress of handling her "problems" drove them to divorce. Tasha and her mother have recently moved to Belmont to be close to her grandparents- and to McLean Hospital (just in case). Tasha is bright and personable, but very nerdy ("Neville would have done it in four books, and Hermione in three"); she intends to be a writer, maybe- she has also been institutionalized 'for her own good' more than once, and her mother seems to have less and less patience as the years go on. She is (going to be) far more focused on ESP and TK than mind-reading/mind control. [/sblock] 2. Potential critter [sblock= Kitsune] -Occupation: Creative -Base class: Smart (MC into Charismatic, custom advanced) -Starting feats: Deceptive, Creative -Best stats: CHA -Capsule: Mariko is a budding singer and stage actress, as well as a talented painter. She is also an irrepressible trickster and a potential criminal. Her mother is a Japanese immigrant who attained citizenship when Mariko was just an infant; nobody ever talks about her father. She has recently moved to the Boston area, where her mother works for one of the biotech companies in Cambridge; they settled in Belmont because the local high school has an excellent music and theater program (and even though it is a public school, it is a VERY good one). Mariko, personally, expects to go to Emerson, Berklee, or Julliard. [/sblock] 3. Student [sblock= Hunter] -Occupation: Adventurer (hunter/survivalist, military family) -Base class: Dedicated (possible MC into Fast, then into Infiltrator, Soldier, or Investigator; or Explorer or Shadow Hunter if they open up in play) -Starting feats: Guide, Track -Best stats: DEX, WIS -Capsule: Scott's father was a Navy SEAL who went to work for a secretive government agency- the official story is that he was killed by domestic terrorists while undercover; in fact he was a 'monster hunter' and died in the line of duty.
