The Treasure of Emily Gray - A Swashbuckling Sci-Fi Mystery

For some reason I am having trouble wrapping my head around the aliens, do you have any picture references we can see? Also, how do you feel about player made races?

The Evening Looms: Since All Has Risen [A War of Magic and Other Powers]

Tony was on foot patrol, at a calm thirty miles an hour. He sidestepped through the vehicle traffic easily as he looked in on windows to make sure everyone was wearing their seat-belts or didn't start the party too early. He'd spent the better part of an hour on traffic detail before he got bored and ran to the square to check in for something else to do. When he arrived there was the resident technophile delivering a truckload of upgraded equipment to play with. He saluted his superior as needed and waited for new orders while leaning over to whisper to Janice:

"Anyone ever tell you that you are like a really hot Santa? Delivering toys to the good little boys in blue?"

He stood back to his full attention and waited for the reprimand to talking to a civilian and be given his next assignment.

Everyone wants to be a player, not a DM. :P

@ErmineI'm thinking either halfling, dhampir or Catfolk for bard. I have a build already for a halfling daredevil built around the acrobatic skill. I'm not sure if catfolk and kitsune would blend well or fight like cars and dogs.

@BugletI can't wait to see what his house 'sounds' like for Sasha. What color with that absolute darkness be, will the houses sounds be like waves of black or other psychadelic noise?

House of Leaves [Modern / Lovecraftian Horror]

Name:
Sasja(pronounced 'Sasha') Samson

Age:
24

Degree:
Music

Short description of character's outwards appearance:

6'2" 150 Long in the legs and lean in the chest. His hair is that 'purpose bedhead' look and his nose is a little too big for his comfort. He almost always has his 'mickey mouse' headphones on around his neck more like a personal stereo than actually over his ears.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have:
A leo through and through. He is a bit bipolar or else he lives with his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, but is addicted to soda. He always bursts out song lyrics whenever they seem to match the moment so an easy way to track his mood is listening to the music coming out of his headphones.

Anything else important:
Synesthetic He 'sees' sound and can 'hear' color.

@Lucius Cypher

I am cool with @Ermine taking these for a test-run. The only way to know if they are broken is to try them out.

Personally, as long as the mechanics do not change, I love any theatric shifts. I had a player want to be a catfolk before there were stats for them, I re-skinned an elf and moved on, we explained any 'elf' weakness or strength as a shared fey heritage. Had a player who wanted a magical extending sword like from bleach, re-flavored a javelin with a returning property and moved on with game.

I think with a magus-ish and a paladin, we still need a thief or a devoted caster...so, Bard?

Also, at this point, whi is still interested in playing? I haven't heard from the paladin or barbarian in a while.

Question: Tieflings have to take Fiendish Heritage feat in order to have alternate traits, but assimar do not, they may simply select the variant then roll for traits. Will you require the same or would you be willing to wave it as a 'feat tax'. The support of my question is that aasimar are merely the celestial occurance counterparts to tieflings so why would they effectively get a free feat?

The Evening Looms: Since All Has Risen [A War of Magic and Other Powers]

T.L

Name: Tohi Li/Tony Lee
Age: 47/333
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: Japanese-American, bonded with a summon.
Appearance:

6'6", 210 on a long lean frame. Yes, he has claws.
Personality:
Impulsive, brash, catty. Cocky to the point of overconfident and refusing to admit when he's wrong.
Abilities:
Feline physiology:
Night vision, scent, 30 foot standing jump, superhuman agility and balance
Superhuman speed:
He operates at ten times the speed of a peak athletic human. He can run a mile in 30 seconds giving him a speed of 120MPH. He can act, react, and strike at ten times the speed of other black belts(world record is 347 punches in one minute, assume average 300 for peak martial art athlete, divide by 60 is 5 strikes in one second. He can land 50.)
[This is by no means ANYTHING compared to quicksilver or the flash who can pop in and out of the sound barrier at will or even travel at the speed of light/radio waves]
Demonic endurance:
Between the feline physiology and the decaplexed speed, he can heal wounds in one tenth the time of others and burns through pharmaceuticals almost too quickly to be of any use.
Biography:
Tohi Lee was a good old southern boy from Tennessee, his grandfather had faced the troubles of being an immigrant Japanese after world war two, it didn't get much better after the Korean war or Veitnam war. So he abandoned most of their Asian trappings and even paid for the surgery to widen his families eyes. It was as much an act of shame as it was needed to survive...Then Bruce Lee came out and everyone was all about martial arts, including his son, Tohi's father.
In almost a flip reversal, he tried to turn their Japanese family Chinese instead and started going by Li instead of the family name of Ri (management) which eventually became 'Lee' because of some bad paperwork. But Ri,Li or Lee, they were still Japanese people living in the south, and all that implies. His grandfather and father both taught Tony/Tohi(spruce) how to defend himself and he was enlisted in one of the few Karate studios established back in the 80's While his dad worked as a mechanic to pay the bills. Well you can't work on cars in the south and not be a race fan, it's a rule. So one year he saves up his income tax return and takes the family to see the Indianapolis 500! Instead of Disney world...thanks dad.
Depressed about having to watch cars go in circles, he was caught completely unaware when a superhuman crisis occurred. Someone summoned a demon in the Indy 500, a speed demon.

This cat ran circles around the drivers in their cars and caused massive chaos. Exploding cars, burning fuel, screaming people, and a dying demon caught up in the crash next to a boy who would not make the next minute. They struck a deal of desperation; it would ride in the boy and give him all the powers he possessed. But after 333 years, three mortal lifetimes, the demon would be free again and the boy would go to hell. Or, he could die here, un-confessed, with sins on his soul, and go to hell now.

Hoping to earn enough brownie points in the next three hundred years, he agreed. And as soon as he pulled himself from the wreckage, he got locked up for being mistaken as the speed demon that caused the damage in the first place, technically a half truth. His family was contacted upon discovery of his incarceration by the government of Mundi trying to get a-hold of itself but loosing, they would lift his sentence to community service and time served if he helped them get a hold on their country.

Fifteen years later, he does what he can when he can with special dispensation. He served five years with the defense unit when the world was still completely bat-spit crazy. But after half a decade in the special forces, he decided to dial it back just a little to merely police units so his family would worry less. He is still 'on call' when it hits the fan but otherwise he likes the slower pace of merely armed bank robbery and chasing cars.

Specialties: Martial arts, Military and Police techniques. Speaks French, English and Japanese.
Equipment:
Small apartment, mini fridge sitting under a crouching shower/sink.

No need for a car most of the time. If he does, he can always borrow from the auto pool.

His variation on the police issue baton, when his hands are not enough.
He keeps his standard police gear in the office under lock and key.

These boots multiply his running speed by double since his feline physique is already partially reminiscent of the design in play. Still, 240 on the freeway is nothing to ignore and more maneuverable than a motorcycle,
