New Mage Chronicle

[hecateluna]

I'm going mostly with your concept for my character.  I'll probably post a history/description in the character background thread later.

For the master, I may as well keep the name you gave him, Incubus, since it's acceptable and I'm incredibly bad at coming up with names.  (You can give him a more appropriate name if you like.)  For concept, I think he is all about material gain.  In his youth, before awakening, he began his climb to the top in the business world, with the sole goal of making himself very rich, in order to rise above his parents' near-subsistance level farming lifestyle.  For many years after awakening, he used his magic to help him become more wealthy.  Among other things, he was the first person ever to serve as CEO of 3 different Fortune 500 companies before he turned 40 (in succession, not simultaneously, of course).  However, upon reaching middle age, he realized that he had all the money he could ever use, and could obtain more on a whim if it ever became an issue.  So his new goal became accruing priceless artifacts.  Of course he likes magical artifacts--since they often serve purposes other than just enhancing his collection, and are much more impressive to many of his peers, but he is personally interested in any priceless artifacts, and does not mind obtaining them in less than honest ways, and does not care who he hurts along the way.  He hopes to use Sarah's talents to assist him in acquiring new additions to his collection (as well as whatever the cabal's purposes with the apprentices are).

My plan is to play up Sarah's charity virtue, which allows for some interesting conflict between that and the master's goals.

No, it's not confirmed, and between yesterday and today, someone else has scheduled in the room I requested, so I doubt we're getting it.  They'll give us something else, but I have no idea what it's going to be. 

So we can take Mike's suggestion of getting a room in the science and engineering library, or we can take over a room in caldwell (139 and 171 are free from 4:30, and both have movable tables and chairs).  I'll leave the final decision up to Mike.

Caldwell sounds good to start; if we have issues I imagine we could move to the SEL later.

That's cool.  But which order were you going to go with?  This sounds like it might be good setup for anything other than GoV.

Mysterium was my tentative plan, but if you had some other genius idea, I wouldn't be opposed to it.

[Mike]

So, wait, what time is this all starting?  Do you have enough people or should I come?  Is it in Caldwell?  Which room?  Is it starting this week or next week?

[hecateluna]

It's this week, half an hour from now, in caldwell.  Let's say Caldwell 139 (the smaller of the two probably-available rooms), but if no one's there, check 171.  I have no idea if you should come, though.

Can you post the pdf of the character sheet you gave me on here?

I now see that I can't post it.  The pdf for it is something like 900kb over the limit for attachments here.  Can I email it to you?

[Thomas Kerwin]

Yeah, that would be fine.

[hecateluna]

We have Caldwell 139 for the rest of the quarter.
