[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 7031559, member: 48394"] First pass on concepts: Okay, so this is a new system for me- I'm looking at 'concepts' for now. I'll hammer them into mechanics-shape once I have narrowed the field a little. I had a bunch of ideas from a first read of the sourcebook (Invoker of Solari- I mean Ra, Goliath valkyrie paladin, etc), but I've narrowed the first round to four. Here goes: 1. Lady Annabelle Barrington: kind of a soft spot for this- she is basically a conversion of an old Deadlands character. The only child of a gruff military officer, she was raised mostly in India, and learned many 'unladylike' skills out of boredom and necessity. Human Ranger (probably MC into Gunslinger, focused on rifles and long-range combat), Noble theme. She returned to England when her father retired and she married a minor noble- who was eaten by something terrible shortly thereafter. She dispatched the beast, and was contacted by the Order as part of their investigation- and she joined up very soon thereafter. Jane Austen meets GI Jane. 2. Lane: (No other name known) The daughter of a small time alchemist (And granddaughter of a legendary gypsy witch), Lane has always had prodigious, unusual talent. Human, specialist theme- a diviner and occult investigator. Would prefer to go Psion, and focus on ESP/senses (not Telepathy)- but if you want full niche protection for the psion/gunslinger pitch, she can work as a Shaman almost as well. Deliberately mysterious and a bit... off. 3. Quan: A former Triad enforcer in Londinium's Chinatown, he was hired by the Order during an investigation. Proved reliable, and was offered a permanent job. Half-orc, Monk, Martialist theme- melee bruiser and street agent. Might MC later into Shifter. 4. 'Hob' Henderson: (formerly 'Hobnail Henderson') once an urchin and petty criminal, product of the worst of Londinium's savage slums, he was hired as an errand-runner by a rather unconventional member of the Order- who proceeded to teach him a bit of culture. In time, he became a valued lackey- and when his mentor died mysteriously, he applied to join the Order himself to pay off those debts (and because the Underworld isn't such a good fit for him these days). Pygmy, Rogue, probably Dilettante. Mostly a streetwise/investigator type. If you have read Caleb Carr's The Alienist, this is Stevie Taggert, as a savage urban pygmy, painted over with a thin veneer of culture. >So, let me know if any of these seem appropriate (or specifically NOT)- I'll do another pass once I've hammered these through to see if they work mechanically.
