Witchhunt

Plan Fallen Aristocrat
[X] Male
[X] Name: Augustus Thornley
[X] Aristocrat: You were born into one of the most powerful and old families in the Auda. It is obvious to anyone you speak to that you are of Nobleblood. This makes you stand out in most places, but it also gives you authority. You have the benefit of a formal education.
[X] Fourth Generation Witch: Somehow, your third generation parent(s) managed to have a (barely) magical child. Your magical knowledge is unparalleled, but you can only cast the simplest spells.
[X] Ritualist: You have little to no magical energy of your own, but you have a knack for tapping into other sources of magic for your spells. Given a lottime and resources you are unstoppable, but on the run it is unlikely you will have much of either. (Only available if you are third or fourth generation.)
[X] Beautiful -1: You are gorgeous. You will find everyone much more helpful, but you will also stick out. (Cannot pick Average, Ugly or Disfigured.)
[X] Artistic Talent: -2: You are a natural in most forms of art, including drawing, painting and sculpture. This will be very useful in almost all rituals and even some spells. You will stand out if you display your talent.
[X] Arrogant +1: You have a tendency to overestimate your own abilities and underestimate others. Most people do not like you, and you will stand out in people's minds. (Cannot pick friendly.)
[X] Dark Aura +2: Your magic can be felt by others subconsciously and it makes them uncomfortable. People immediately dislike you and are suspicious of you, but they will likely leave you alone. Your pursuers will know if you are hiding nearby. You will stick in people's minds. (Cannot pick friendly.)

The contrast with us being a good person, and our magic being Evil appeals to me greatly, and I wonder if we can even make friends with a Fist, or one of their trainees at least.

Since there are no plans that include Unhinged in them, I think its safe to say any character you guys play as will know this is very very unlikely. I would say its about as likely as a black person becoming friends with someone who lives in a neo-nazi commune and only leaves to harass black people.

Very, very unlikely, but not impossible given the right circumstances (And great rolls).

We'll make them see the light! If they can't while they're alive, then as a Undead Thrall! :D

I feel like Clausa, due to her Pacifistic and Kind nature, might give that a shot if the opportunity presents itself. She knows its unlikely, but damn it, she'll try anyway.

[X] Plan Mad Man
-[X] Male
-[X] Alexander Payne
-[X] First Generation Witch: You are a firstborn. You have little to no knowledge about how magic works, but your magical instinct and talent is incredible.
-[X] Genius: Your magical skill is legendary. If you survive being hunted, your name will likely be used to frighten small children into behaving for hundreds of years. However, you are so good at magic that you will often accidentally use it and reveal your nature to those around you. (Only available if you are firstborn.)
[X] Good Memory -1: You are able to recall things you've heard or read better than most. Your skills and spells' quality will degrade slower than normal. (Cannot pick Bad Memory.)
[X] Fighter -2: You are vicious. Fighting comes naturally to you and you have plenty experience doing it. You can use both a melee and ranged weapon passably. (Cannot pick Weak or Pacifist.)
[X] Naturalist -3: You have a large knowledge of the local plants and animals. This will be very useful in finding medicine and food. It will also be useful in rituals and certain spells.
[X] Unhinged +3: You are crazy. This will make you stand out and make you easier to track down for your pursuers. You likely won't have a good grasp on any situation.
[X] Arrogant +1: You have a tendency to overestimate your own abilities and underestimate others. Most people do not like you, and you will stand out in people's minds. (Cannot pick friendly.)
[X] Dark Aura +2: Your magic can be felt by others subconsciously and it makes them uncomfortable. People immediately dislike you and are suspicious of you, but they will likely leave you alone. Your pursuers will know if you are hiding nearby. You will stick in people's minds. (Cannot pick friendly.)

Mad, vicious and dangerous.
 
By the way Impetus, is it possible that as the Quest goes on, we'll lose/gain/upgrade/degrade traits?
 
[X] Plan Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer

Voting for this one now, the idea is very interesting. But I do think it's weird that there is no Necromancy in the plan itself. @Hannz, wouldn't switching Genius for a focus on Necromancy make more sense for a good character cursed with a talent for Dark Magic?

The way I read it, this would also make us an even better Necromancer, since we specialize in it. But I don't think it would lock us out of all other forms of magic, especially as a Firstborn. We could stiil cast other spells, but they would be weaker, I think?

You are a Witch who was recently outed to his or her peers. Witches are not exactly thought well of in Auda, and your peers will undoubtedly report you to the local priest. Said priest will alert the Fist of Gods to your existence and appearance, and then pray for your swift and merciless execution.
Given this, I expext that there will be quite a few people who will notify the church, no matter how likable the Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer is.

[X] Plan Flower Power
 
[X] Plan Don't Dead Open Inside
[X] Alse Young
[X] Female
[X] First Generation Witch
[X] Merchant
[X] Savant
-[X] Necromancy
[X] Good Memory -1
[X] Strong Constitution -1
[X] Ugly +1
[X] Arrogant +1

An actual Necromancer. One of those actually has a chance against the Fist. And they'll just keep giving us more ammo if they keep attacking us.

Since this is the 2nd time someone has insisted on this, I've switched Genius for Savant.

How smart can undead thralls be?

-[X] Beautiful -1: You are gorgeous. You will find everyone much more helpful, but you will also stick out. (Cannot pick Average, Ugly or Disfigured.)
-[X] Friendly -1: You are a nice person or at least you appear to be. People like you, but you will also stick out.

-[X] Weak +1: You are physically weak. You may be able to get over this in time, but until you do your pursuers will be faster than you on foot and stronger than you in a physical fight. (Cannot pick Athletic or Fighter.)

The first chapter and a character sheet will be up around this time tomorrow.

Now, time to reveal something so dastardly bad, you'll all regret voting for me!

Clausa Interitum is actually Closed Afterlife in Latin, and by Latin I mean I ran Closed, and then Afterlife in Google Translate.

Cower in regret! For my horrible naming sense has won this day! My linguistic might knows no equal! :lol

That depends on the spell you use...

Edit:

Oh. I almost forgot.

I need someone to roll a 1d100 for Encounter. I need a second person to roll a 1d100 for Spell Control. Lastly, I need someone to roll a 1d4 for Puppet or Resurrection.

If you use off site die please provide a link.

Well darn. Looks like we're playing with dolls. Maybe. I've probably failed you all.
chocolote12 threw 2 4-faced dice. Reason: Resurrection... or Puppet? Total: 5
