Edited my backstory by highlighting the bits that could use names. I'm a big fan of weaving histories together, so if any players want to make suggestions for how to integrate his backstory into their own, I'm all for it.
The current version of my character sheet has been posted to the Magi Char Sheet thread. I will add the backstory to the entry when it's been picked over.
May I post Leon the Hunter/Linguist/Fish to the Covenant Char thread? I don't really think of Leon as likely to have his own Stories, so he isn't properly a Companion per the rules, but Patrick will probably want him to be treated as a Consortes (or whatever the term may be), with the associated costs to covenant finances.
And not to be too pushy about this subject, but I would really, really like Patrick to enter play sometime soon. I will light-heartedly threaten to make even more tongue-in-cheek grogs until he does.
