[QUOTE="Rel, post: 5417766, member: 99"] Got two of the three characters made last night. Our other friend had some family stuff going on so his will be made by next Monday. One will be playing a monster hunter with a somewhat didactic approach. He has the Quirk hindrance, which we're calling "I've got a thing for this!" Basically he carries around a book in which he has collected all the monster knowledge that he's been able to gather. He tends to whip out this book in the middle of fighting the supernatural to see if he has any notes about how better to defeat what they're battling. I'm expecting his character to be motivated by gathering more such knowledge. The other character so far was a Centurion in the Imperial Legion who was sent along with his troops to protect some backwater town from the forces of the encroaching Darkness. As the town came under attack they were quickly overwhelmed. He gave the order to evacuate the town before everything went black. When he awoke his last handful of men, including his second in command, had been transformed into a group of (essentially) werewolves. Unlike the others who had lost any semblance of their humanity, the Centurion could remember who he was before. As they were sent to hunt down the refugees from the town he had no choice but to kill his remaining troops. He fought his second in command, a long time friend, to a standstill and both retreated heavily wounded. He has vowed to hunt his friend down and kill him because he would have hated what he has become. Not sure the exact nature of the third character yet. From indications he's given so far he might play a person who was planned as a sacrifice to the Darkness through some vile ritual. The ritual was interrupted and he wasn't killed but some sort of a gateway into the Darkness is now inside his body. How that manifests outwardly has yet to be determined. [/QUOTE]
