Ivy Smoth





On the scroller of znn news came an announcement of manhunt for a man wanted for a person of interest in the murder of three federal agents in Knoxville Tennessee outside the Department of Energy’s research site three days ago. The man’s name is Andrew Grey who was employed as a research scientist. Reports are that he has stolen weapon grade uranium and is extremely dangerous.

Ivy was the first to speak arguing for the proposed new legislation, “Thank you governor. Ladies and Gentlemen, good people of Georgia, this great nation and the world. We are at a great moment in time, where life as we know it hangs in the balance. A great danger and blessing has been cast upon us. A few days a go, a young man used his powers to kill a hundred innocent children. My son Travis, was one of them.” She paused to wipe away a tear as her maternal side showed. “Reports have been coming in from all over of people using these powers to steal, manipulate, and kill. Others report heroic events where lives were saved.” She let her presentation show pictures of the different reports for about twenty seconds. Good and bad. “Like all things we need to understand these new powers and study them so that those that wield them can use them safely.”

Name: Ivy Alexandra Smoth
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Height: 5’6”
Weight: (Honey,you don’t ask a woman that)
Ethnicity: French, English, and African
Sexual Orientation: (Honey,you don’t ask a woman that either. Keep it up you’ll get on my bad side.)
Religion: Christian
Occupation: Politician

Ability: (N/A if Human)

Background:

On the walls of Ivy’s office sits pictures of the last two presidents, the last five governors, along with pictures of the Queen of England and other foreign leaders that she has met as a journalist. With pure southern grace, trained in Journalism and law, Ivy is a force to be dealt with.

For ten years, Ivy has been a local reporter for CBS Atlanta. Starting on special assignments, she worked her way up to being a news anchor. She had been requested by CBS to travel with the past couple presidents to trade talks, her soft southern charms and personality, hiding a pit-bull of a reporter that cares more about the truth than about political agendas. More than once, Ivy’s has been asked to be the press secretary, which she declined for the sake of the good people of Georgia, and her babies of course.

When the mayor had to fill vacancies, Ivy’s name kept coming to the list of people capable of filling a position. Even when she had gone after some corruption in the mayor’s office, she still had a good relationship. Ivy is an independent voice, not swearing allegiances to any party.

When the attack on the school happened and her oldest son was killed, she became a spokesperson for a movement capturing national attention. Advocating for the registration of theses new “super” humans.

“Not all of these invincible are evil, some are trying to help us. But, we register baby’s, our cars, we register out teenagers, we have drivers licenses, and we register our guns. We should register those with special powers so lives like Tylers," Holding up a picture of her son,"aren’t taken and people like his murder can get help before something like this happens. We need the registration law and the resources to protect our children and those that are vulnerably.”

Her face and plea made every news channel across the country and things started to happen.

Father Thomas Alexander

Location: Cathedral of Christ the King, Atlanta, GA





Thomas found the tire flat and the spare missing on the van. People were always nice to your face or when you helped them out. But, you turn your back. Not all the people, he told himself. Jerks, were jerks.

He walked the keys back to the office and told the secretary handing back over the keys. Thomas learned quickly not to get on her bad side, she was a force to be reckoned with. So he made his way out of the office. He pulled his cellular phone from his pocket and called The Apostle Grady Adams, Bishop of his own Baptist Church.

Thomas liked Grady and gave him a hard time. Grady was a brother in Christ. With a passion and sense of humor that was as big as his heart. Grady Laughlin’s told him that he was going to make Thomas into the best black preacher ever to preach in the isles of the cathedral. A big challenge since he was a Caucasian and preached from the pulpit. Thomas had “lightened up” some.

He left a message for Grady that he needed to get to Savannah to pick something or someones up. Grady knew people and had connections that Thomas did not. Being a hometown boy didn’t hurt either.

Thomas went to one of the side chapels and prayed. Waiting for the phone call.



With a little whimper, Cilia trudged on with the group. As they walked she approached Fergus. From her body language that she was unsure about herself and wanted to ask him something important. Each time she would chicken out and fall back a little. She was afraid of what he might say. The internal conversation in her head, was fierce. Why did she care what a noble thought of her? When things calmed down, he would be in a fine house. She would be who knows where. Wasn’t survival more important then taking people’s stuff?

“I didn’t want to steal that stuff, but we needed it,” she said loudly. It gushed out of her as her mind was trying to reconcile what it was thinking. The thought was like a stone in her shoe, poking at her.

Butterflies danced in the air and landed on the wild flowers. She envied the simplicity of their dance. It lightened her heart to think that all life was not lost. Some even could dance on the breeze. So she followed on.

Thomas started thinking about vocation as he exited the Bishop’s office. He was still a priest, but one that could not preside at Mass, administer the Sacraments, nor do official church business. He like a hand full of priests across the world had been impacted by the event a week ago. Now he found himself stuck in the slow churning bureaucracy that was the church.

“Until we get to the root of this...,” the Bishop had said leaving Thomas with room and board, a little pocket money, and way too much time on his hands. After a month of being board he was invited to come down to Savannah. As like many organizations, the church had its public face that was officially worried about people using powers in an abusive way against others, governments making them into super soldiers, and the theological implications. In private, the church worried about finances, the instantaneous loss of church members meant that there would be big changes. It also worried that governments would take things into their own hands and be immoral to those with powers now, people like Thomas.

Unofficially, the church had been involved with some illegal but not immoral activities. Many a stranger passing through the Benedictine Priory of Savannah they were welcomed, fed and clothed, and helped on their way either northward towards Atlanta or other port cities where immigrants are welcomed and less questions asked. Now the church was gearing up to help those with powers that were fleeing or trying to move undetected. The financial crunch meant that elements of the church would be welcoming money from different sources, including drug smuggling or other illegal means while officially condemning such activities.

Since the event the crime rate has dramatically increased.

As he walked out of the church trying to catch his breath, a text message came in, “Bring the van, down when you come.”

Thomas sighed. His powers had manifested in small ways at this point. Fixing a coffee cup his mother gave him that broke was the first thing. Since then, he has tried using his powers to fix other things. Things around the church, things in the neighborhood, and things in the parish thrift store. All this he did in secret, away from the sight of others.

As he went to get the keys for the van, he wondered what he was getting himself into.
Character Profile

Name: Father Thomas Alexander
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 130
Ethnicity: English and Italian
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Religion: Roman Catholic
Occupation: Priest

Ability: object manipulation (Primary- Object repair, moderate- Object manipulation, minor- object creation, animation)

Background: Thomas was born to a working class family in Indiana. His parents were devout Roman Catholics and he was raised in a good Catholic home. He went to mass and attended Catholic School till he graduated High School. As far as trouble, Thomas had some but nothing serious. His senior year his parents were in a car accident, his father was killed instantly and his mother was critically injured. Thomas promised to become a priest if his mother survived. So he dropped from engineering at Norte Dame to Divinity. He was ordained to the priesthood and started as an associate priest in a parish.

When the event happened, he disappeared. When the second event happened, his mother died when he showed up, the Church needed to figure out what to do with what happened. He and many others disappeared then came back. As the church investigates the spiritual source, if it was demonic, the start of the Second Coming, or something else. So, he is kind of lost in the system, unable to preside at mass or function as a priest except for emergency situations.

As Thomas was growing up, he loved to read about magic users. His power first manifested when he knocked a coffee cup from his desk that was given to him by his mother. The handle broke and he magically put it back together. He has been playing with three little drones, adding functionality, repairing, and modifying them.

No problem. I need people that tease me some!
Work in progress.

Name: Atyna Kitsu
Age: 20
Strengths:
  • Sneaky as a black cat on a moonless night - Atyna has made his living in the shadows.
  • Good with a blade
  • Natural born performer - He can sing a little and act a lot more.

Weaknesses:

  • Fear of falling - He could run across a tight rope if he couldn’t look down, but if he did he would freeze.
  • Friends in low places - He’s got underworld friends who are there if he needs help, but it will cost him something. They also can call in past favors.
  • Sucker for a woman in need - Atyna would try to help a woman out and would not kill a woman if there was any other choice.


Appearance: [will look for an image when not on phone]

Personality: I am picturing Atyna as a semi-reformed confidence man/thief that has strange luck. He likes people and cares about what is going on. While he does like the finer things in life, he also wants to help other out too.

There is a thrill in planning and attempting a heist. The same is true for making the escape but a lot less when you get caught. His fear of heights comes from and incident where the job went wrong and he ended up falling. It took him months to heal his body.

If you asked Atyna he would describe himself as a Robin Hood type character, but that is overly romanticized. He is closer to a slightly darker Remo Williams with a mix of Jackie Chan.

Background: Atyna was born and raised in Shou Lung to a troubadour father and a mother who was a healer. He grew up with a love of song and story. As a child he grew up listening to his father, when he was home tell heroic stories about thieves that saved the day, knights that rode into battle on beautiful horses, swordsmen that could fell trees with a single blow, and of course wealth. Atyna learned to spin a yarn and tell a story. He learned to sing a little and play a lute to pass for a bard in places most bards would not enter. This is when he got pulled into the thieving craft, he need to survive and the lure of easy money was there.

Atyna got his over active chivalry from his mother and older sisters. As skilled as his mother was, she was still treated like she was non-human. This was also reinforced by the priestess at the temple where Atyna was schooled to read and write a little in the main languages of city.

Feel free to make up places and people as you desire but by being mindful of the tone and setting of the game. The only thing I ask is that your characters should start in a place that goes by the name of Shou Lung.

While he has left the city when on the run or on a job, he always returns.
