London

Known Heroes and Heroic Organisations

The first costumed vigilante in both the British Isles and London, the Night appeared in early 1916. Primarily focused on fighting the Consortium and stopping the criminal empire taking advantage of the then ongoing war, the Night also focused on regular crimes and the criminals of London soon learnt to fear his presence. He vanished in mid 1919 without a trace while investigating the politician Barnaby May-Porter and his ties to the Consortium leadership.

His secret identity is Benedict Wallis, grandson of the wealthy retired politician Gareth Wallis.

The youthful squire of the Fairy Knight and aspiring heroine, Sapphire Squire relies on a mixture of physical skill, mental ability and technological gadgets. A genius and prodigy, Sapphire Squire holds her own on the streets of London and has proven herself worthy of fighting alongside her mentor. Since 25th December 1920, Sapphire Squire has gained two magical abilities from her mentor, one which allows her to change her outfit at will and provide her clothing with protective properties while the other removes her needs for sleep, food and drink.

The second squire of Fairy Knight, Onyx Squire comes from a criminal background and seeks to help the world rather than hurt it like the rest of his family. Relying mainly on his fists and hardiness, Onyx Squire has picked some equipment and magic from Fairy Knight and Sapphire Squire, the most exotic of these being his partial invisibility and complete silence.

His secret identity is David White, son of the street thug Jacob White.

Jordan Brown is a chief inspector within the Metropolitan Police. A determined man who believes in stopping criminals and protecting the innocent, Chief Inspector Brown is willingly to bend the law a little if it means seeing proper justice done.

Following his systematic dismantlement of the Dragonsteeth, Jordan Brown was promoted from Detective Sergeant to Detective Inspector. Following the arrest of the Templar, Jordan Brown has formed a formal covert partnership with the Fairy Knight.

As of 1st March 1921, Jordan Brown has been promoted to Chief Inspector from Detective Inspector under a cloud of politics, high tenses and borderline infighting amongst the Metropolitan Police.

Gareth Wallis is a wealthy man and a retired politician who has known great tragedy. The ageing man has outlived all of his family and currently lives alone in London with his butler. He was aware of his grandson's activities as the Night and covertly funded his crusade. As of January 1920, he supports and funds Fairy Knight's continuation of the Night's crusade.

Known Villains and Villainous Organisations

While some call him a hero, the Golden Knight is definitely a criminal. Appearing in 1919, the Golden Knight and his Golden Order are returning veterans of the Great War. While they fight the Consortium and claim to see justice for the people, many of the Golden Order's activities are regular organised crime and in some ways, the Golden Knight is just another crime lord who dressed up as a costumed vigilante.

On 9th February 1920, the Golden Order captured Sam Carson of the White Devils and hold him captive.
On 24th April 1920, the Golden Knight aided Fairy Knight at Anna Lucas' party.

The White Devils are a London street gang that was led by Sam Carson and backed by the Consortium. A male dominated gang that believes in the supremacy of the white Englishman, the White Devils seek to purge London of its 'foreign filth'. Covertly supported by the Consortium, the White Devils rose to prominence falling the Night's disappearance and seek to 'clean out' Whitechapel so they can turn it into their territory and use the neighbourhood as a base of operations.

On 9th February 1920, Sam Carson was defeated by Fairy Knight before being captured by the Golden Order. Following the loss of their leader, the White Devils have fallen into infighting and got systemically picked off by their foes. As of mid 1920, the gang no longer exists.

As of 25th February, Sam Carson was freed from the captivity of the Golden Order by Redcoat, presumably on the orders of the Consortium.

The Dragonsteeth were a major street gang that was founded and led by Anna Lucas. Covertly backed by the Consortium, the Dragonsteeth held a position of prominence within the London criminal underworld and the gang held great influence over several small gangs.

On 24th April 1920, Anna Lucas was defeated by Fairy Knight and later arrested by the police alongside several of her subordinates.

Between late April 1920 and early August 1920, Detective Sergeant Jordan Brown systematically dismantled the gang. He did so by arresting and putting in prison most of their leadership and membership, shutting down all of their major operations and most of their minor ones and he ruined their reputation.

As of September 1920, Cliff Gregory currently leads what is left of the Dragonsteeth with the gang having gone to ground as a remnant of their former glory.

As of April 1921, the Dragonsteeth are no more after being consumed by rivals in the gang war following the downfall of the Royal Ravens.

Levy Porter was the chief enforcer of the Dragonsteeth, a feared man for his deadly prowess. He was arrested by Detective Sergeant Jordan Brown on the 24th April 1920 after being defeated by Fairy Knight and was later sent to prison.

Levy Porter was a sub-boss of the Dragonsteeth and their main accountant. An experienced elderly man, he managed most of the gang's finances and briefly took over half of it following Anna Lucas' arrest.

He was arrested by Detective Sergeant Jordan Brown during early June 1920 and was later sent to prison.

Cliff Gregory is the current leader of what remains of the Dragonsteeth. An ambitious and dangerous man, he leads what is left of the gang after avoiding being arrested by Detective Brown.

As for 25th February 1921, Cliff Gregory is attempting to return the gang to prominence and has broken its prior ties with the Consortium.

As of April 1921, the Dragonsteeth are no more after being consumed by rivals in the gang war following the downfall of the Royal Ravens. The current fate of Cliff Gregory is unknown.

The Consortium is the top dog within the criminal underworld of London with its leadership remaining unknown to outsiders and most within the Consortium. Whilst it has sway across most of the British Isles, the Consortium is located in London where it holds the most of its power and influence.

Despite enjoying a good couple of decades of effectively uncontested dominance, the Consortium has founded itself increasing under attack in recent years with its most prominent foes being the Night, the Golden Order and Fairy Knight.

An middle-manager within the Consortium who is responsible with coordinating with outside assets. He was Windstrike's liaison when the Consortium hired her to kill Fairy Knight in March 1920.

Known as Ronald Barr in his civilian identity, the Templar is a fearsome warrior who dresses up in plate armour, styling himself after a medieval knight. Wielding his imposing war hammer, the Fist of God, the Templar is one of the most dangerous individuals on London's streets with very few capable of matching him. Having retired from the army after a decade of service at the end of the Great War, Ronald seemingly works for an Anglican organisation that seeks to purge London's streets of heretics and infidels.

He was arrested on the 18th September 1920 after being defeated by the Fairy Knight, but avoided going to prison due to destruction of evidence during his trial.

Peter Michaelson was the leader of the Royal Ravens and a member of the Consortium. The Royal Ravens were the top gang in London and the Consortium used them as a proxy to control the streets of London. Following a rash attack on the Brown family in February 1921, the full force of the Scotland Yard came down on the Royal Ravens and as of April 1921, the gang has been systemically destroyed one way or another and is effectively no more.

Allen Baxter as the chief enforcer of the Royal Ravens.

On 16th February 1921, Allen Baxter was accidentally slain by Fairy Knight in battle.

25th February 1921, the Regal Ravens split off from the Royal Ravens.

Also known as Tedd Donald, the Squirrel is a talent and agile thief who steals from the rich as a challenge. After being caught by Fairy Knight on 10th August 1920, he has given up his life of crime.

The wife of Jordan Brown and mother of Brenda Brown and James Brown. A formerly cheerful and supportive woman, she was almost killed on the 18th February 1921. While she survived thanks to Fairy Knight's intervention, her right hand has been maimed and Eira has fallen into a deep depression.

As of May 1921, Eira has fully recovered thanks to Moira Lyn and her magic.

The son of Jordan and Eira Brown and the younger brother of Brenda Brown. James Brown was a shy kid who witness his mother almost being killed in their own home on the 18th February 1921 alongside receiving injuries of his own. While he and his mother were saved by the Fairy Knight, the fallout has left him spooked and jumping at shadows.

As of May 1921, James has fully recovered thanks to Moira Lyn and her magic.

Kingdom of the Faeries

Known Heroes and Heroic Organisations

While she was able to amass a loyal following that allowed to overthrow her sister, Taenya valued loyalty and subservience over competence and ability. She would later meet her downfall when her paranoia and tyrannical rulership resulted turning half of her realm against her, purges that left her supporters greatly reduced in number and putting the most loyal subordinates in charge rather than those that were qualified to do the job.

While time flows differently in the Kingdom of the Faeries, it was roughly 6th May 1921 that Prince Tiarnach overthrow Taenya and became king.

The son of Taenya, Prince Auraen made up what he lacked in competence with obedience. He was left in charge of defending the Little Court of Scotland when his mother was overthrown, resulting in his defeat at the hands of Tamara Lyn and her squire.

Known Civilians and Neutral Organisations

The mother of Tamara Lyn and many other important fairies, the Queen of the Faeries was a powerful and uncontested leader. Having rightfully earnt both fear and respect, the Queen of the Faeries was a whimsical and capricious ruler who did what she felt like at any given moment thanks to being powerful enough to get away with it.

At some point prior to start of 1920, she was overthrown by her sister Taenya and has not been seen from since.

The daughter of the Queen of Faeries, Princes Moira rules over the Little Court of England. While she is a decent ruler, Moira is more focused on magic and improving her magical abilities. She and her half-sister Tamara consider each other to be their favourite sibling.

The son of Princess Taenya, Prince Zelphar ruled over the Little Court of Wales before being disposed alongside his mother.

While most people have found it by now, @Doomed Wombat has started a quest set in the same setting as this one, currently still in character creation: Rising to the Call Superhero

Oshha · Oct 21, 2019

Oshha said:
Tamara has three consistent forms, one for meeting with Brown, one for when she is the Fairy Knight (though it is hidden underneath her armour) and one for being the roommate of the Woodsworth sisters/the maid of Gareth Wallis. Brown only knows about the former and while he has met her in the second, he has never seen her without her armour. He doesn't know about the third beyond suspecting that Fairy Knight has a secret identity. The Woodsworth sisters know about all three of them while Gareth Wallis knows about the first two, but has only seen the last one. Sapphire Squire has only met her in the second form and suspects that the first and the third might exist (hence her questions at the end of the latest update).

At the bottom of this post, I got a description of each of these forms with some reasoning for them by Tamara included in the brackets.

To expand upon the reasoning, the Fairy Knight form is her main form and takes priority over her Tamara Lyn form with the latter being primarily designed to visibly dissuade association with the former. While the Fairy Knight form is designed to be what Tamara prefers (through she would prefer longer hair and tall height), the Tamara Lyn form is a mix of dissociation with the Fairy Knight and being a form that Tamara is comfortable being in for long periods of time. For this, Tamara has chosen to be too big as Tamara Lyn to be the Fairy Knight without shapeshifting being involved ("the Fairy Knight doesn't hair that long", "the woman is far too tall to be the Fairy Knight", "nah, her chest is too big to fit in that armour") with the exception being her muscles, which she keeps as being fit for a warrior. Tamara also indulges in her preferences that aren't practical for her Fairy Knight from by having long hair and a tall height in her Tamara Lyn form.

For her form when she is meeting with Inspector Brown, Tamara keeps it similar, but distinct to her Fairy Knight form, not going as far to visibly dissociate herself from being the Fairy Knight to keep a healthy middle ground between her Fairy Knight form and her Tamara Lyn form. She also tries to avoid standing out and goes for a more average and low key appearance.

And while she is pragmatic about the forms that she uses, Tamara is sentimental about her muscles and always goes for a lean muscular figure as she dislikes lacking them. So even when it might benefit her to go without them, Tamara always keeps muscles that she considers befitting of a warrior like her if she can get away with it.

Tamara also wanted to go a darker shade of skin (Arabic or Indian and more brown than black), but Lydia talked her out of it on the grounds that it would cause her undue trouble and be detrimental to her. Tamara has reluctantly accepted her friend's arguments (mainly thanks to Lydia's own negative experiences as a result of her darker skin) even if she has deemed the reasons why to be stupid.

Brown's Contact: Long Brown hair, brown eyes, lean figure (wants visible muscles that are worthy of a warrior like her), slight curves (just enough to be distinctly feminine and make it clear that the person in the armour is a woman), above average height (wants to be taller than average, but not stand out by being too especially tall)
Fairy Knight: Short blonde hair (too short to grab or catch on something, fits in helmet better), purple eyes (wanted to look exotic, Lydia convinced her that a darker shade of skin colour wouldn't be beneficial to her), lean figure (wants visible muscles that are worthy of a warrior like her), slight curves (just enough to be distinctly feminine and make it clear that the person in the armour is a woman), above average height (wants to be taller than average, would be outright tall if she wasn't saving that for her secret identity)
Tamara Lyn: Long black hair (too long to fit in the Fairy Knight's armour), blue eyes, lean figure (wants visible muscles that are worthy of a warrior like her), curvy figure (too big to fit into the Fairy Knight's armour, would prefer to be flatter and considers this form to be curvy as she is comfortable with), tall height (too tall to fit in the Fairy Knight's armour)

Probably should mention what they gate.
Quests are very bad at predicting growth paths without data.

Let's see (@Dark as Silver ):
Talatine: Pick either one of the options and get two of the following unlocked at semi-random as I pick the two which seem the most apporiate for Fairy Knight to think of at the same time. Additional options will be unlocked in the same manner whenever another Talatine upgrade is chosen.
-Bane against a single type of enemy and I will be using the same limitations that the Favoured Foe advantage uses to determine what is an acceptable enemy to have Bane against. I will be using the suggested rule of exceeding the Damage allowed by the PL by 2 for Bane damage. Picking this option would give two ranks of Bane and each type of Bane would be a different upgrade to be chosen so this is effectively several different upgrades.
-Affects Insubstantial with two ranks to allow for full damage against Insubstantial targets.
-Upgrade the recall Feature from requiring a Standard Action to only requiring a Move Action.
Torlyn: I'm still thinking about upgrades for Torlyn, but I have been thinking something along the lines of granting Immunity (1 or 2 point things) or Partial Immunity (for 5 point things) with the latter being able to go from partial to full if you choose to upgrade it a second time.
Shapeshifting & Flight: Shapeshifting upgrades need an overhaul including the ones in the upgrade thanks to the overhaul I gave the power while Flight I am planning to add some 1 Flat Point upgrades to it if it reaches a reasonable rank.
-Edit: I've replaced the old options with options to get Extra Limbs or Elongation. I'm thinking of adding Growth or Shrinking, but I am unsure of how plausible they are with the PL limits to worry about.
Faerie Heritage: I'm thinking that upgrading the senses could open up some more exotic senses to you. I was planning to go for more Immunities, but I'm leaning towards saving those for Torlyn to go with the whole knight theme. I also also toying with the area of some body changes like Shrinking, Growth, Extra Limbs or Elongation through I am also considering using these for new Shapeshifting upgrades.
-Edit: I'm currently using Extra Limbs and Elongation for improving your shapeshifting and if I include options for Shrinking or Growth, it will be under shapeshifting not your fairy heritage.
Magic: Getting a magical spell to a decent rank (like Healing 5 or Teleport 5) will unlock new spell options such as Mind Control, Mind Reading, Transform, Illusion and Summon.

I'm also toying with the idea of letting you get additional upgrade or maybe splitting the options into two groups and letting you pick one from each, but I'm wary of letting you grow too fast.

Edit: I should also clarify that these options aren't concrete options like the ones in the update, but just notes I got typed up for potential paths for power growth and linked to an existing option.
Edit 2: Accounted for the overhauled shapeshifting upgrade options.
