[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5917509, member: 4936"] I have some idea, yep. I was in a Mage game awhile back that sadly folded, but I liked some of the characterization I'd worked out for it...and it being an urban fantasy game, it's an easy one to 'repot' in this fertile ground. I even have a location in mind. As for archetype...I am considering the 'champion of god' notiong, with the caveat that the god in question is not the New Testament reiteration of JHVH or the Trinity. Rather, this character is descended from a bloodline harkening back to the Mesoamerican warrior priests; charged and empowered by the Jaguar Sun to patrol the boundary between the worlds of the living and dead; much as the Sun itself moved into our world during the day, and into the Underworld at night. They kept the living from wandering into the Unlit Land, and the spirits of the fallen from slaking their endless hungers and angers on the living. Until, of course, it all went wrong. The lines of succession were broken, the civilization itself faltered and lost its way. Now it's just ruins...and a few last sentinels that hold to the old lore, who's blood still quickens with the echo of lost power, and who still hold the line against the forces of darkness. Just a conceptual start, of course. It's still quite fluid, and can be adjusted any number of ways. [/QUOTE]
