My face to face every-other-Saturday gam is going to start a new game when at the other house (we alternate houses and when here we are running a Fantasy Trip game). It is a home brewed game that takes place in Solomia, 1990s. The basic premise:
You are all created beings, coming to an awakened state by events around the world. Summoned, awakened or even constructed by a cult called the Sons of Prometheus, you are all believed to be a tool to achieve peace in the world and Somalia is anything but that. You will awake and you will realize what you are but not know where you came from and why you are here. Your Awakening is a violent, chaotic process and you realize quickly that you have come into being earlier than you should have. Death and blood surround you and yet there is a serenity that builds as you find yourself in a darkened place, cold stone around you and odd looking folk removing you from a stone casket or other form of tomb. You have questions to answer...
This GM really likes to start player characters without a lot of knowledge as to who they are sometimes. I've had some memorable characters that evolved over the game play (and some that just never succeeded many rolls, but they were also memorable!) We were going to start today but alas, the GM was unwell. The last few weeks have been chaotic for getting together, and with the looming holiday season, it won't get a whole lot better any time soon!
My concept for this game, pending GM approval (as in re-reading that above, my stone casket is miles away and was melted in my chaotic birth). I am aiming for the 70s Incredible Hulk vibe in some ways, as you wouldn't like Levi when he gets angry. But Levi is also afraid of that side of himself though as time goes on, hoping he will figure out that he is the Elemental. Not doing the Avengers "I am always angry" schtick. Which was fun, but I am a child of the 70s (technically the 60s. Yes, I am old! Though no longer the oldest in my Monday night game group! Happy birthday Jim!)
Levi Doe
Summoned from the burning planes that some call Hell, Levi came as a burning flame that destroyed the Sons of Prometheus cult in the border town of Doolow. He was pulled to existence to destroy their enemies but instead destroyed that cell. After the raging fires of his birth destroyed the entire neighborhood, Levi staggered out, a dazed and naked man. Thinking he was a survivor of the terrible flames, he was taken to the hospital. Not knowing who he was, or where he came from, the staff named him Levi Doe. In a daze in the middle of the night, amnesiac and gaunt, he wandered out of the hospital. The ensuing weeks were more a blur than anything else and Levi eventually found himself on the coast, in the capital of Mogadishu, dressed in ragged jeans and a frayed vest. With vague dreams or nightmares of burning soldiers in the desert haunting his waking hours.Keyword: Unleash: add 2 dice to the pool when activating your power
Form: 4 / 1
Psyche: 3 / 1
Will Power 2 / 1
When human, he is a normal human. But when he gets upset enough, his elemental form comes out. While his elemental form remembers all his other memories as a human. But none from the time before he was unleashed and even those early memories are smokey and it was not until he got to Mogadishu that his Elemental memories were finally coherent. When he reverts back to normal, he only has vague memories of what happened. But the memories are starting to come together, and he recognizes the beast within as who is though he has no idea how he came to be. Other than a small tattoo on the back of his left hand of flames.
not sure what the human form will be |
and while I do not have fire-themed dice, I do have some oversized gelatinous cube dice that could be from Levi's home plane of existence! |
