Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

I have added an NPC Tie. An enemy plagiarist!

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

@ctrlsaltdel Thank you! I've already gotten started on the Ties

@XxFellsingxX I've added The Crow as one of the ties. Let me know what you think and if you need me to change anything. ^^"

@rush99999@Digmata Would either of you be interested in Emily having a tie with one of your characters? ^^"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Hello.

I am alive, and am very sorry for the disappearance there. My wife and I rapidly needed to find a new location to live and have been packing our house over the last few weeks. I could have done better staying active on the guild and informing folks, but I'd rather say something late than never. I'll be moving midway through January after focusing on the holidays.

@Fading Memory

No worries, it's completely understandable.
I hope your move goes well, and I hope things get better for you.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

so I'm open to a fifth player but 4 seems like plenty to get started with. if everyone agrees, what other business do we need to take care of? does anyone have a recommendation for how often everyone should try to post? i'm thinking roughly every three days but i'll defer to anyone who has a preference.

@ctrlsaltdel

I agree that 4 seems like plenty to get started with. ^_^

I was thinking if there was any other business to take care of, it might be seeing if any player characters have any connections with each other. Would they be friends, or do they simply work/study at the same location? (I'm guessing this is the Ties section?)

For example, I imagine Emily Sanderson may have tried to befriend @XxFellsingxX's The Crow in the past, through giving The Crow food. Whether she was successful or not is up to @XxFellsingxX. ^^"
If her attempt was successful, I imagine she would call the Crow "Nevermore,"

Right now, considering the holiday season, I'm not sure if setting a requirement for timing when it comes to posting is a good idea. ^^"

I'm also of the general mindset that setting a requirement for posting in a certain amount of time adds more pressure than what's needed. The important aspect is communication, considering how RL can get chaotic. If I'm not able to post due to life, I'll do my best to let everyone know.

[X] Recall: When you do not have possession of your Eidolon, you can draw ELE to call out to it and make it return to you.

[X] Everything a Nail: When you try to overcome an obstacle by applying the skill you’ve mastered, draw ELE, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play:
On a positive card, your skill maps to this situation perfectly.
On a neutral card, describe a complication that prevents your skill from fully translating to this situation. Take -1 Forward. The GM will describe how the complication hinders your success.
On a negative card: your skill doesn’t map to this situation at all. You fall flat on your face.

[X] Heirloom: Your Eidolon’s concrete form means that it can outlive you. When you die, name the person you choose to inherit it. They become the Eidolon’s new master, and once per session they can use any one Move from your character sheet.

[] Legendary Treasure: When you take this Move, you and the GM will describe a powerful magical artifact which has the same form as your Eidolon.

This artifact exists deep in the Undertow, where no human could ever find it. Once per Uptime, you may ask the GM one of the following questions about it:

• How was it made?
• Who owns it now?
• What effect does it currently have on the real world?
• What does it empower its wielder to do?

[] Featured Artist: Once per Uptime, when you use your Eidolon to provide material aid to another player making a Move, they may choose to forego drawing and instead apply the following Forecast with a positive Polarity: “The world is your instrument, and it’s time for a duet.”

[X] One-Man Band: Take one of the following Moves:

[]Break on Through, from the Vanguard Playbook

[X]Pick Locks, Hack Consoles from the Infiltrator Playbook
When you attempt to disarm a security system, pick a lock, or otherwise use finesse and subterfuge to get somewhere you’re not supposed to be, draw ELE, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.

*On a neutral card, something is damaged or an alarm is raised, your

If you play a neutral card, no Eidolons become severed, but the enemy will stop attacking long enough to hear you out.
If you play a negative card, nothing happens, except that you’ve thrown away your Eidolon.
You may only use this Move once per session.

[] Quick-Draw: Permanently take +1 Ongoing when using your Eidolon to Scrap or Snipe someone who doesn’t believe that you can or will attack them.

[] Remaster: Your Eidolon becomes an ordinary object. A new object in your possession becomes your Eidolon. You may only use this Move once, ever.

[] Cursed: If your Eidolon comes in contact with someone else, you can draw BIZ to attempt to make your Eidolon take control of them.

[] Realizing the Legend (Requires Legendary Treasure): Once per Uptime, you may draw BIZ to make your Eidolon switch places with your Legendary Treasure, until the end of the session.

TIES

1. (Maturity: 1) The Crow is a better friend than any human I know. (Affinity: 1) @XxFellsingxX

2. (Maturity: 1) Ashley is okay, we both know where the lines are drawn. (Affinity: 1)@Digmata

3. (Maturity: 1) Mallory taught me not to trust anyone. (Affinity: 1)

4. (Maturity: 1) I do not believe Luka should be trusted with a position of leadership. (Affinity: 1)

I will also be borrowing the idea of the creation question from rush99999...

Q: What drew you toward mastering your chosen skill? Why is this the thing you have dedicated yourself to?

A: "Stories have significantly impacted my life since I was young, and I realize I'm not the only person who's changed because of stories. I was inspired to change for the better, and I didn't feel lonely despite not having any friends when I was younger. I want to be able to write as well, and change someone's life for the better like how mine was,"

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

@Guardian Angel Haruki @Digmata

Are you two aware that you've both answered the wrong questions? The ones you're supposed to answer are asked in the rulebook.

The questions for the Virtuoso are "What drew you toward mastering your chosen skill? Why is this the thing you have dedicated yourself to?"

And the Navigator has to pick an Area of Expertise and then answer this question: "What is it that fascinates you about this subject, and how have you come to be so knowledgeable in it?"

@rush99999

Sorry, I couldn't find the original question when I looked over the Playbooks. ^^"
I'll go ahead and correct the Q&A section.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

@Guardian Angel Haruki, yours looks good too--the only thing I see is that your Resonant and Dissonant cards need be picked from the neutral cards =)

@ctrlsaltdel

Thanks!
I've changed the Resonant and Dissonant Cards accordingly.
Now the Resonant Card is The High Priestess and the Dissonant Card is The Chariot.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

I call dibs on the Conductor.

@rush99999

Is there only supposed to be 1 Conductor type character? I was thinking about the Conductor type as well at first.

For now, I am thinking of playing the Virtuoso Eidolon,

“My virtuoso is a real journal and pen, and through it, I can push my mastery of writing stories beyond physical limits, allowing me to conjure objects, influence events, and gather information.”

If I had to give this Persona a name, it would be Scheherazade.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I'll try and get a post up in the next couple of days.

@XxFellsingxX

Thank you! ^_^

---

Just a quick heads up guys: I won't be able to post 12/24-01/01 for holidays.
With that said, I will try to get posts up before then if needed.

@Dark Cloud Is there anything you would like to write before I write a DM post?
