Astral Plane:

Once a player reaches Collegiate 10 they may access the Astral Plane by projecting their astral self and leaving their Hard Realm body in a state of unconsciousness. The Astral Plane is a realm of magical energy overlapping the hard realm. Where the energy from the Astral Plane seeps into the Hard Realm are the waylines. When projecting into the Astral Plane, characters are completely incorporeal and invisible to Hard Realm characters. Magicians with Collegiate over 10 can roll to detect projectors with the Divination skill. In the Astral Plane the only applicable stats are Essence, Adhesion, Cohesion, and Collegiate along with the expanded magic skills. Characters can manipulate, attack, and be attacked in the Astral Plane using their skills in the same manner as in the Hard Realm. All damage is taken from Adhesion and then Essence, and is enhanced by Cohesion and Confluence for attack, damage, range, and defense. Once Adhesion is reduced to 0, the projector automatically leaves the Astral Plane, although overlap damage occurs and reduces Essence. If Essence is reduced to 0, the character dies. Projectors cannot harm anyone in the Hard Realm, but they can observe the Hard Realm and interact with other projectors.

Enchanted Weapons and Armor: any weapon and armor can become enchanted through a secret process guarded by the Academy of Magicians and their enchanters. The Academy takes orders from citizens and creates the items for a profit. Enchanting the weapon or armor grants it a +1 to a chosen development ability as the magician advances in collegiate magic. Once an enchantment is placed on an item, no other enchantments can be placed on that item. Items you purchased before can be enchanted later.

Enchanted Weapons can harm spirits as for regular rules. Non enchanted weapons do not harm spirits.

Firearms can be enchanted as blunt, edged, or piercing weapons. It does not improve the aim or effectiveness of the shooting, but they can be used as melee weapons. This has brought into practice many different blades and blunt ends being a part of any firearm.

Enchantments can be stacked with the same cost for every enchantment.

The enchantment allows the weapon or armor to be repaired through meditation by the character. Spontaneous materials do not simply appear, they must be provided by the player and be within their range. If range is touch the character must touch the new material and the enchanted item. The enchantment will splice the spare material into the enchanted item and repair it. No other tasks may be performed while this meditation occurs. The more material that must be repaired, the longer the process will take, and the more expensive it will be.

Cost of material repair for a weapon or armor is 10 credits per point.

MacConnell

Creator of The Untamed Wilds
Thomas: Player Character

Thomas.jpg

Thomas was born within the metroplex of Helton 22 years ago. He was a normal Human child of common parentage and mundane means. During his adolescence, on a trip outside the city with a group of other children, the change that infects some at that particular moment of life overcame Thomas during the night. Wracked with a dangerous fever and profuse sweats during the night, he woke in the morning to find that he had grown head and shoulders taller than his previous height and significantly increased in muscle mass. The change terrified the group and they abandoned him to his fate in the wilds.

Thomas did not die of starvation nor was he devoured by some raging beast. Others outside in the wilds found him and helped him through his change. Most of those that helped him had suffered through a change themselves, though their new form was predominantly that of an Elf. Having learned to harness his sensitivity to the Way lines, Thomas also learned to reintegrate with society though he became keenly anti-technological. He developed no adversity to the presence of technology nor of its use by others, but he had disciplined himself to function without it, an oddity in a world of virtual reality and cybernetics. These, oddly, tuned individuals who shun technology are often called Aura Monks.

On a curiosity trip back into the Helton sprawl, Thomas met with a brawl inside a tight alley just outside the back exit of a rumored Runners bar. Syd and Robert were out-numbered two to one when he waded in. His two new friends took to calling him Trollick, which befitted his giant-like appearance, in addition to his aversion to technology. As is typically the case when following a lead located in the VR, Robert, who is called Hawkeye, had run down a red herring, a false hope. Having met Syd and the both being led into the alley on the premise of greater information, the demise of the two did not quite go as planned when a total stranger decided to involve himself.

Unknown to most people, the mystical side of nature has always been a part of the world, although without the presence of of Wayline Energy (commonly referred to as "magic") the mystical properties of various things were stunted, and incomplete. For instance, people who would have been born either Giants or Dwarves, came into this world with the physical bodies of such, but lacking their magical component; thus, people born like that were considered aberrant, and their physical structure, being incomplete, caused them many health problems, and shortened lifespans. Had Robert Barnes been born BEFORE the Great Awakening, he would have been said to be "afflicted" with the condition of "Giantism," and wouldn't be expected to live much past his mid-fifties, because the strain on his heart would have been too great.

But luckily for Robert, he was born AFTER the Great Awakening, at a time when his body could function as it was meant to, through the constant contact with, and infusion from, the presence of active Waylines; Robert is not afflicted with Giantism, but rather, he is truly a Giant, and much to the surprise of many who meet him, he is neither brutish nor slow; in fact, his mind is far more developed than his body, despite his enormous size and physical power. He was gifted with the best of both worlds, and he grew up in an environment where he was able to take advantage of that fact.

Robert is the son of Harold and Pauline Barnes; Harold, a professional trainer, and Pauline, a mechanical engineer. Robert himself attended the University of Houston, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with a certificate of specialization in Cybernetic Technology. After graduation, Robert began working at Fry's Electronics, while living at home with his parents, until he could save enough money for a down-payment on an apartment.

Things were going well until last year, when both of his parents were killed in a home invasion. Robert took the deaths of his parents really hard, and vowed to find the gang members responsible, and to take them down, by any means necessary, whether or not those means happened to be legal.

Robert was his parents' sole inheritor, and after the sale of their upscale Houston townhouse, he had enough money to pay off all of their final debts, with enough leftover to pay for his own apartment, along with enough cyberware for his new career; Robert knew that the police would never solve his parents' homicide, so he chose a profession that would allow him to track down the perpetrators on his own time: corporate decker for the Texas Instruments Cyberware Division.

Nowadays, Robert spends his days in a corporate environment, and his evenings scouring cyberspace, looking for clues that will faciliate his vengeance. Lately, he has caught wind of a local bar where people with special talents can pick up extra cred, doing "odd jobs" on the side. Tonight, he is checking this bar out for the first time, in hopes of earning enough money for a major equipment upgrade.. Tonight, he will walk into the Axelrad Lounge, not realizing that his life will soon be changed forever.

Adventurer
Syd 2.jpg
Syd Vicious, aka Sydney Victor Bellingham Jr.
Fighting Strategist (aka: Street Samurai)

Syd was born to a defamed London aristocrat father and a Japanese laundress mother. His father, Sydney Victor Bellingham, worked for Lloyds of London as an Actuary. It was during a trip to Vancouver, BC, where he met Koriko Taki, who he thought to be a mere laundress. Unbeknownst to Sydney, Koriko was also a "laundress" for the Vancouver Yakuza. Koriko saw an opportunity to help her Yakuza family by marrying someone who worked for Lloyds.

The marriage was a happy one, Koriko made sure of that, even giving Sydney, Sr. a son, Sydney Victor Bellingham the Second. Everything was going well, Koriko suggesting insurance policies for people she knew where to be conveniently deceased within two years after the policy was signed. Then, three policies staked death claims within six months time. After an investigation, the executives at Lloyds of London decided that Sydney Victor Bellingham did not investigate the policy holders closely enough and thus, fired him.

Koriko suggested they go to America and start over, Sydney Sr. getting another actuarial position with New York Life. But, New York was too much even for Koriko, and having a one year old in a city she considered mad as a damned hatter, she suggested somewhere in the Midwest or Heartland.

Sydney got a job as a Payroll Advisor for Texaco at their St.Louis branch. Of course, Koriko stepped in and suggested some "family" members to work for Texaco.

Meanwhile, Syd Jr. became a street fighter at an early age (9 years), earning a reputation for being a vicious and unrelenting attacker. His mother, who Syd Vicious called Mama-San, got him into the gang life, but was caught by surprise at young Syd's bloody reputation even amongst Yakuza go-gangers who used youth gangs as recruitment material. So, his parents decided he needed a change, besides the fact that his father was being demoted and shipped to another city: Houston. It seems by this time, Syd Sr. was more than a mere lush/social drinker, but an outright alcoholic.

The Houston Sprawl was little different and Syd found himself in the same kind of trouble. It landed him more than once in the Metro Houston Juvenile Detention Facility. When he wasn't in Juvee, Syd was in a go-gang known as The Hudu Krewe. They were a brother group to the tri-state (Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas) gang, The Ju Ju Zombies. The Zombies were known thugs, dealers and killers. The Hudu Krewe were nearly Boy Scouts by comparison...except for Syd the Vicious, as he was known then. His cruel fights were what led his victims to the Doc Wagons and the local constabulary took notice of the trend. Syd was on the Houston Juvenile Criminal Hot List.

It was also during this time Syd's father was fired from Texaco, and soon after, died of kidney failure due to alcohol poisoning. Koriko glossed over the self-inflicted aspects of his father's death and blamed the corporations, not just Texaco, for his death.

Syd Viciuos' path was set, and Koriko and her remaining Yakuza contacts couldn't have been happier. That is until Syd's last visit to Juvee.

Thus, it was during what seemed just another "visit" to Juvee that Syd met an ex-Street Sam, named "Butch" Grant. Seeing possibility, and maybe redemption, in young Syd, Butch trained him in the use of sword, hand to hand and weapons combat...and a Code to tame and direct a wayward heart. It was a code that spurned all gangs, corps, cults and systems; but held onto the belief that "a runner doesn't have to be a Merc or a Thug; but instead, he could do runs to help others, not just himself --- and still get paid well.

Syd still has a vicious reputation, hence the name change to Syd Vicious, legally, when he turned 21.

He is now 22 and looking to make some cred, on the streets and on his credstick...and to square some debts of injustice; especially against the company that demeaned, defeated, and ultimately killed his father --- and maybe help other "little guys" who have been beat down by Corps, gangs, or "naughty words in general".

Meeting up with Hawkeye and Thomas (Trollick), Syd is ready to run the Shadows, especially against the Corps, if such a gig comes up, or just doing whatever work needs to be done.

Ho, chummers! The days are gonna be gnarly, and the nights are gonna be --- 'Vicious'.

Your characters know almost nothing about Shatterframe, where she is from or what her ultimate goals are. She is an older hispanic woman with only a Texan accent. Both of her legs from the knees down are cybernetic, she uses a VR Headset, and a Vehicle Link Display, but what other improvements she might have are not known to you.
