Since alignment already has Good, I shall say no Good. Cool-looking concepts guys. Dawnforge needs all the fan love it can get.

I agree--I tried to look on the official boards of FFG and found them sorely lacking. The Shaper deserves good support! As for Good being in Alignment, that's true, but of course Healing and Sun are in other focuses too. It's okay either way, of course.Isida Kep'Tukari said:Since alignment already has Good, I shall say no Good. Cool-looking concepts guys. Dawnforge needs all the fan love it can get.
Background
Ebony is a third cousin of Balme of Seagarden, although he dislikes pressing that association. Born into the noble rich of the Dreaming Isles, he prefers to leave titles and noble relations out of his life. They cause more trouble than they are usually worth.
The life which a wealthy, adventurous and partially unscrupulous family brought surely aided Ebony’s progression from a child to a full-on fast talker and spy. A family tradition he calls it, his parents would have been disappointed in him if he had gone on to anything else.
He attended a number of academic places of learning in his youngest years, learning the intricacies of trade and negotiation, a basic spread of knowledge and various crafts. One of which, woodcarving became a unique habit for Ebony. When he reached an acceptable age, he disappeared from the academies setting up a remarkable series of clues to see if his parents could catch up to him (some misinformation, some true).
Jumping around from island to island, even heading into Landsgate, a place he greatly enjoyed until he left with a number of guards on his heels for some misplaced accusations over trade negotiations which turned sour. How did he know that gaining majority control of the bean market would turn many people into his enemies, most of them with much more money than himself at the time. He escaped of course, but narrowly and hasn’t headed back to Landsgate in some time, believing that there may still be a few individuals who aren’t so pleased with the saltblood.
Ebony leaves a spotted trail of rumors and events all over the place as he has traveled, some exaggerated, some wholly untrue and others might even be so. Whatever the case, being picked up by King Enir II’s guards and trotted off to the castle has put him in an edgy spot, he hadn’t been in the Kingsmarch for more than a couple days, surely something was afoot and he wanted a hand in it.

Meh? Meh! Fine then, Good can be in the Light focus.

Here's two more for Evil-minded Shapers:
Ruin (Evil, Death, Destruction, Darkness)
Corruption/Seduction (Evil, Charm, Darkness, Trickery)
Since Alignment is a really weird Focus choice (what with giving all 4 alignments and such), using the variant Focuses would allow a better focus on why the character matched that alignment.
So a Lawful Evil Palpatine-style manipulator Shaper could have Corruption and Rulership. A murderous nihilist psychopath could have Ruin and Chaosborn. Etc.
