Concept 1: Lady Barrington (In Progress)

Wherever the Queen's flag is raised, her armies are known. The Wentworth family has served the crown for hundreds of years, with a proud tradition of military service all around the globe. Colonel Samuel Wentworth served in her Majesty's 5th Dragoons, and retired to his family farm in Sussex only a few years ago- in his career he served in India and the North American colonies. As with many career officers, he married early, and he brought his family with him to his various postings- alas, his wife was perpetually sickly and his only child was a daughter. Still, on the frontier, he could be indulged the eccentricity of raising that daughter as he would have a son- to the amusement of the regiment, young Annabelle was taught to ride, to survive in hostile territory, and to shoot like a soldier. While she was born in a house on the banks of the Ganges, she was mostly raised in the North American colonies, where the 5th Dragoons guarded the borders from Frenchmen, Spaniards, and native troublemakers alike. While Annabelle's mother rarely left Boston, Annabelle herself traveled as far west as the French outpost of St. Louis. She received a traditional education in what passed for 'civilized' society along the East Coast, but she loved the outdoors more. After her father retired with a knighthood and a small pension, Annabelle was married to Lord Arthur Barrington, a fairly minor nobleman whose estates were in the colony of Virginia. Less than a month after the marriage, though, SOMETHING came out of the woods on the edge of the estate. Lord Arthur and several of his men were devoured. Lady Annabelle was not- because she had a loaded revolver close at hand, and her husband's rifle. Whatever had caused the carnage was badly wounded and fled into the woods- two days later agents of the infamous Order of Shadows arrived on the estate to investigate, and to pursue the beast- for the Order has agents wherever the Queen rules. The agent in charge was impressed by Annabelle's cool head, and recommended her for consideration. With her husband's death, his estate reverted to his family (at least for the time being) and Annabelle returned to England- though her father's country estate held little allure, so she stayed in Londinium and sought out the Order...

Concept 2: "Lane" (In Progress)

"Lane" is a street/underworld investigator with an occult twist- she can sense spirits and other unnatural phenomena, and she was trained by her mother in basic arcane matters. More recently, she has begun to display other 'gifts', mostly related to her senses. (In totally non-mechanical terms, Lane has a bit of uncontrolled precognition- at this point it is nothing she can use intentionally, but it can be used a plot device if the GM wants. In the future, she will likely MC Psion, focused in the appropriate talents. In fact, it is VERY likely that adventuring with another psion will be the trigger for her own powers).


The young woman known only as Lane is a bit of an enigma, even by the standards of the mysterious Order of shadows. She first came to the Order's notice about a year ago, when a team of agents were pursuing a terrifying shapeless beast through the slums of the East End. The team had lost the trail, only to be accosted by a raggedly-dressed young woman who announced that she was there to help. With her assistance, they managed to track the beast down, and to eliminate it- but that was, it seems, only the beginning. For the next few months, whenever the Order sent a team into the "Bad Parts" of Londinium, they ended up running into Lane, most often sooner rather than later- and she cheerfully offered to "help" them with their investigations. Attempts to find her on her own, or to find out anything meaningful about her, typically failed. After two months, the Order had managed to discover that Lane was known locally as "that Gyptian girl" (for her tawny skin and exotic mannerisms), and that she was the daughter of a local herb-witch and spiritualist who had died about a year previously. About a month ago, Lane appeared on the doorstep of the Order's chapterhouse- well outside her normal range. After a dance of social niceties, Lane was admitted to the Order on a probationary basis- when asked why she had changed her mind, her only response was "You are going to need me. And I am going to need you."

The truth of Lane's story has a few grains of hard truth hidden in it- even Lane herself doesn't know much more, and her abilities have not yet provided any further answers. She knows that her mother was, indeed, from the River Kingdoms of Egypt- and that she fled that land after some unknown trangression against the Hierian rulers. With her own abilities, she set up shop among the immigrant-filled slums of Londinium- where she spent the rest of her life plagued by delusion and paranoia- Lane was "raised", for lack of a better word, mostly on the streets, but her own gifts made her into something rather unlike a typical street urchin.

As [MENTION=48394]pathfinderq1[/MENTION] is pretty close to having a complete character I am thinking I will start the IC today. There should not be to many rolls happening and pathfinderq1 can introduce whichever character you go with before we move too far.

No problem... for me, weekends are always hard as I have a lot of demands on my time to do non-computer stuff. Which is funny as I post mostly from work :)

Did we ever decide what Battle Armor does when not activated? Becasue it says they have an "Ep Usage", and a limit of the numbers of batteries they can hold at one time. So, Light Battle Armor can hold two tiny batteries, each with 3 ep, and has a 1ep/hour usage, for a maximum of 6 hours of usage. Medium armor can hold one tiny and one small battery, the small having up to 15 ep, and runs on 1ep/10 minutes, giving a maximum of 3 hours {180 minutes) of continual use. The Heavy Battle Armor holds two small batteries, at 15 ep each, but a usage of 1ep/minute, giving a maximum of 30 minutes of continual use.

So what do they do when not activated? I suppose they grand the usual DR, but not the extra Energy DR, and no extra abilities? Or can they not be used unless they have a charge? And if that's the case, what happens when they runout of ep?
