Any of those concepts could work, although going with the Scandinavian frost giant would be a bit more difficult for me. I'd rather keep the far north a strange and dangerous place where magi don't visit much, rather than something familiar where they grew up.
Note that although the saga will be more politically oriented, there will be plenty of opportunities for a more action-oriented magus to shine. After all, as the saga starts, the young magi will have to establish and grow a new chapter house. With numerous seasons of services to perform. So it would be relatively easy to assign tasks to each based on their abilities. Politics will emerge more as they become established within the covenant's structure.
I'll go with the Romani character then. I'm going to try and see what I can get out from a gentle-gifted Flambeau to start with. I have a concept in my mind but I have no idea if it works in game terms, virtue and flaw-wise especially.
If you don't mind playing with me again, I'd be happy to join.
If that's ok, I'll probably play an Ibis Bjornaer from Iberian tribunal focusing primarily on elemental magic (probably aquam/auram mostly). He will be interested in hermetic politics related to the protection of the wild and will try to use the special rulings on "The Forest" to expand it to any place with a magic aura/and or a inhabited with a strong magical spirit.
As we now have 4 players, I am closing the saga to new applications for the moment.
I will be requesting a new sub-forum for the saga today. You can work on your individual magi in the meantime, but no need to post them here. I'd advise you to focus on background information and personal history of your characters, as that is, for me, the most important and defining part. Stats are just stats.
I have created a character creation topic for each of the players. I would ask you to begin by posting your character concept there -- as outlined in this thread -- before moving on to a more detailed character.
I will start populating the forum with other topics today, such as House Rules, Cosmology, Dramatis Persona, etc. For now I am not posting anything about the covenant and the chapter house. That will be an in-play surprise. :mrgreen:
We have 2 openings for the saga. The new magi would initially be assigned to the chapter house as visiting peregrinators, with a possibility of becoming members of Fengheld being held in front of them as an incentive to perform favours for the elder magi.
See the first post of this thread for the saga's parameters and house rules.
I would like to join if there's space. Fengheld looks like an interesting place to play. Let me take a look at the forum and check what people are playing so I choose something different.
The chapter house would certainly benefit from having a PC magus with the Gentle Gift. My NPC magus has it, but I prefer to keep him out of most stories. Which doesn't mean that you have to gop that way. There are certainly many possible stories that do not require a Gentle Gift.
Yes, I still have 1 spot available. Note. however, that there is already an Aquam specialist amongst the chapter house's magi. Doesn't rule your idea out, but it means that more information will need to be shared before the troupe gives the go-ahead.
We can discuss character concepts in this topic, created specifically for you.
Things seem to be working out with the new players. I am still in the process of integrating them, so at this time I would not be looking at adding another one.
