Dag 11:
Dresden Files RPG
Ytterligare ett FATE-baserat spel, men det här kom före FATE Core, och tillhör då en äldre version. Här har jag återskapat den karaktären jag spelade så som hon skulle vara om hon var nyskapad. Har låtit bakgrundsstoriesn hur hon träffade en del av de andra vara kvar. Nej Genies finns inte officielt i spelet. vi räknade det som att den personen (Star) var medlem av ett Faerie Court (Brass Court). Nej Star hade inga magiska förmågor, så om någon beordrade henne att ge en person ett svärd, så fick hon knata iväg och på något sätt skaffa ett svärd...
Spelet är baserat på bokserien The Dresden Files, och är skrivet som om det är ett spel som några av karaktärerna i spelet skapat. Fullt med anteckningar i marginalerna, post-it lappar ewtc där de olika personerna: Magikern Harry Dresden, Bob (en spirit som bor i en dödskalle), och Billy (en varulv, eller mer korrekt en Lycantrope, och medlem av The Alphas.)
Power level: Submerged (10 refresh, 35 skill points, skill cap att Suberb +5)

Where do you come from:
She grew up with strict parents; Alison and Richard Clarke. Her mother was a teacher, and her father a governmental employee. They always expected more of her and pushed her hard. In school, she often spent time daydreaming, which didn’t go over so well.
Aspect:
Pay attention!
What shaped you:
At puberty, she started seeing strange visions. Some people in her surrounding thought that she was either taking drugs or being ill. In order to understand what was happening to her, she read everything she could about her situation.
Aspect:
Strange visions
What was your first adventure: All the world is a stage
There were lots of mysterious happenings at an old theatre where Amy worked at. Some people claimed that it was haunted. Using her powers of divination, she found that it really was haunted by the ghosts of Clarice Sterling and actor William Reading. Both where shot dead by Clarice’s jealous husband Jonathan after he found out they had an affair, but the incident were hushed down due to his connections. She got the help of reporter Tim Dobson, to find the whole story as he had access to old newspaper archives. The reason that the ghosts where active was that shady businessman James Howell II tried to put pressure on City Hall to get the theatre condemned in order for him to get approval to tear it down and build luxury apartments there. Activist Imogen Tayler helped organize a successful protest rally in order to save the theatre.
Aspect:
Echoes of the past
Whose path have you crossed: Star Thyme
In “Djinn, Lamp and Monkey” Amy helped a confused girl, who turned out to be a djinn, to find her magical lamp that a monkey had stolen and run away with.
Aspect:
There is more between Heaven and Earth…
Who else’s path have you crossed: Mirou Divin
In “Dragon Rising” Amy got a premonition of the future, and tried to help Mirou Divin to avoid the situation. Fate wanted otherwise, as he didn’t heed her warnings, but eventually managed to return relatively unscathed.
Aspect:
Cassandra’s Tears (Yupp, hon kan se framtiden, men folk tror inte på hennes syner)

Focus items

Notes on magic:
- Lore = Knowledge. Important for
- Discipline = How much control and cocus the magician has of their art
- Conviction = How much power the character has
- För divination spells så börjar Amy på en complexity på 9. Om ritualen har 9 eller lägre i complexitiet så behöver hon bara samla in power, annars får hon börja tagga aspecter. Tar hon det lugnt och drar 1 power per runda, så kan hon inte misslyckas och riskerar därför inga farligheter. Drar hon in mer power per runda så finns risk att saker går fel, och hon måste slå varje runda för att kontrollera den mängd power hon drar då. missar hon så drabbas hon av en attack av totala power som hon samlat in. (någon räknade på en ritual som användes i första boken för att döda en person, och har för mig den hade en compexity på minst 37 för att göra en insta-kill på en vanlig människa)

A silver ring in the shape of a sose, and lots of thin silver bracelets as well as a belt made out of small silver chains and silver coins (one one side just a few rows, on the other much more).
What you see at a soulgaze:
A scene of thick mist. A shape is moving inside and with a gesture of her hand makes the mists part. Behind her you see ruins from ancient Greece. The woman is Amy, and she is dressed in modern clothing. She has a clear intensive gaze as if she is looking through you. The feeling you get is that she knows more than she should, and that you do not want to awaken her curiosity. She is protective but also has the potential to be ruthless in knowing more. That if she has a way of finding out something she will not let it go. Also clear that she is ruled by stormy emotions rather than cold calculations.
