As I am quite entranced by the Broken Tales, here are a few details you may find useful.
1. The game uses MONAD ECHO system, of which SRD is available at DriveThruRPG
2. To have a good overview of the beautiful delivery of the book, get the quickstart: Quickstart Broken Tales PDF [English]

On the off chance, you were asking about two other characters from @robowieland previews, here they are.
Tokyo :Otherscape is a Japan setting book. The characters on the cover, from left to right, are new character creation options:
Wandering Neo-Samurai - a homeless dreamer, an ex-corpo...
The force is strong with silverhaired/ultrablond folks in this game so I'm guessing you're talking about Valkyrie (the first character from your left).
If so, she's your ultimate battle cyborg, with Mimir AI onboard and her combat tag combos being 3 out of 4 (tag combos are the most likely used...
I have received my copy yesterday. Not much to say aside from it's more of City of Mist goodness in futuristic packaging.
With regard to style, it looks more like Ghost in the Shell than Burning Chrome.
The subjects of identity, reality seem more important than drugs and rock and roll of...
The masquerade is described in political and ideological terms... I may be wrong though as I have had read only the basic books.
What we need (or needed) was technical, down to earth list of methods for maintaining it. The social means, the organization dignitaries, protocols for handling...
V5renegade version still needs to address the progress of everyday technology. I think the way they should go would be to allow high gens to be virtually indistinguishable from humans, while the low gens would puppet master their progeny.
Also, information coverage and suppression do not work...
When in doubt, go with Wikipedia:

Here's the starting point for the 5th edition:

This time I wanted to vote for practically everything on the list.
Also, all but three items had serious BUTs for me:
bloody detailed minute rules
wordiness (ever since Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark happened, ever since player-facing playbooks become a reality, making a class that...
That fairy godfather looks more like Tyson Emeritus than Brando the Unrefusable.
Also, I would definitely run the scariest event of a decade - a fairy wedding, when anyone can ask the fairy godfather for a favor (a sort of wish that a penitent puts forth, and which they hope it won't be twisted...
Wrong assumptions. I know it's Internet and I may be expecting a lot, however I would appreciate if you focused on the subject instead of making wild guesses.
(regarding lack of proper preparations)
There are at least two trailers, Night to Remember, and the one I linked in the post above...
The trailer for Witcher 4 hit the Internet today. I am slightly disappointed with its quality - and so here are a few musings of mine on the subject.
But first, the links:
Witcher 4 trailer, English version
Witcher 4 trailer, Polish version (the voice acting changes perspective... somewhat)...
In no particular order:
Kult
Pelgrane Press GumShoe games: Nights Black Agents, Trail of Cthulhu, The Yellow King, The Fall of Delta Green, The Esoterrorists, Fear Itself
Invisible Armies
Nephilim
Silent Legions
Achtung! Cthulhu
Since every character has a relatable mundane side, try to get them, the players, to walk you through their typical day during session zero.
I usually try to establish their daily habits (and not just for assassination attempts), like what they eat and whether they eat out, what kind of clothes...
So basically the system is a child of CortexPrime and Year Zero Engine in the sense that you have descriptive sets of traits, assemble the pool from the sum of relevant scores, roll and count sixes. Nice.
The concept of collaborative estate reminds me of Vaesen.
What I would like to know are...
They are fortyish or more, right? They lead busy lives, they are slightly tired, and their blood sugar levels tend to fall when they are not center of the attention.
If so, here are a few tips from me.
Go physical:
handwave inventory management. Use a laptop with Google docs shared to their...
Add guns. Mana guns, gunpowder guns, wand guns, psi guns.
Make gun maintenance and aiming Int activity. For magic and psi guns, you can introduce additional dependencies.
There, you have a reason to have a high Int demand for a fighting character.
Now, about the preferred class:
fighter gets...
