Hey all,
I think I am in danger of overload, so I am going to bow out of this game. Houson has been kind of growing on me, and based on what I have seen of Generation Legacy, its going to be a cool game. So I'm a bit bummed. But given that there is a queue a mile long for the game, I'm sure there are plenty who are not
Good luck everyone.

Well I originally planned this to be a mortals turned Mage game, but given the pace of play-by-post games, that would take an immense time to get to the real meat of the plot. So I am retooling this once again to be a Mage: The Awakening game from the outset, with the players taking the roles of members of a new cabal, either forming or already formed. The cabal does not have to have a name at the outset, indeed the characters may still be trying to establish themselves in their new lives as newly awakened members.
The game will still take place in and around a coastal town, James Cove, a cozy New England town with a population of about 15,000 people. The characters can be of more varying ages, though I highly encourage young characters if people simply want to take the ideas they already have and just flesh them out with Mage templates…

Some questions for your character to answer… they can be answered in-character or out-of-character; but they should apply to how the character feels about being awakened.
You don’t know the truth yet… Your character is a young mage, the Mysteries are new, the truth of the universe, indeed reality is just making itself known to you. And already you know that some truths are being hidden from you, either purposefully or perhaps because you are not ready to understand the greater secrets just quite yet. Awakened society is all about secrets, and you know that even your Master is hiding things, perhaps for your own good, perhaps to secure their own power… but how does your character feel about this, or do they even care?
I have the Power… Sleepers are ignorant, they believe that the world they live in is the way things should be. They can’t fathom a supernal world, a world where reality can bend to the will of an individual. The awakened have incredible power at their fingertips, how does this affect how you see sleepers, how you view reality, and how you view yourself. You can force your will on the world at will, but as the saying goes power corrupts… Will it corrupt you?
This reality is a cage… a prison for your soul. The Exarchs, if you even believe they exist hold all the keys to reality. Their minions the Seers of the Throne do exist, and they are the enemy of the Pentacle, they are rarely obvious but they lurk just the same. They are omnipresent, they are dangerous, and they want to control you… or do they control you already?
Your Shadow Name is your identity… Your Shadow Name is important, it is the name by which you shall come to identify yourself. It is who you are now, how did you choose your name? What does it mean to you, and what does it express about you, or how you view the world…
