#mage 20

[magi-official]

I want to gush about my players in my mage campaign , ask me about them, we have in this ramshack cabal

Catgirl science witch

Adopted last prince of the fae

Super mega cursed, yet incredibly lucky gambler

A martial artist whose spiritual aura is roughly the size of a city

And a journalist who found a hard drive containing a copy of every file the technocracy has

THIS IS NOT EVEN MENTIONING THEIR AVATARS aorueixhflfushsof

My pregen/npc note technique is way easier to use with Exalted than Mage.

[technocracy circa 1904]: The technocracy is no longer a chill place, all the fun people joined the council(Electrodyne engineers), and it has not been the same.

But unlike that stupid council we still got the cool people(Analytical Reckoners) and they will never leave us.

Fuck it, logging my mage campaign as a sort of open dm journal

Last session was seeking, in which one of my players, the windborn martial artist, who was set up by their avatar to damage the wyrms labyrinth in a major way, along with the spirit of the us oil industry, setting fire to an ocean of unethically sourced industrial grade petroleum in the umbra. Did this attract the wyrms attention? Yes. Did the mage consent to being under this pressure(and also fighting a black spiral dancer (the player is absurdly lucky they handled it fine)? They stood in the umbra at the end of it and in the eye of the wyrm, that she drew to herself giving that beast a papercut, she under that foul eye, she only fealt pride, for she had caused it pain.

Im gonna be playing some Mage 20 in its Victorian setting with a new group soon.

So, to get some character ideas, I've decided to play Assassin's Creed Syndicate for the first time :3

Will this help me pick out a tradition for my character like I was supposed to? Absolutely not. Try as I might, I just can't seem to wrap my head around those.

Will this help me get a better understanding of my setting? I hope so! Our game is gonna be set somewhere around the 1840s, and ACsyndicate takes place somewhere in the 1860s, but it's still Victorian England. The real differences are gonna be all the WoD specific stuff, but I think we're starting as regular people, so i'm not too concerned about that.

Will this help me pick a character background and voice and adjust to time appropriate language? Hell yeah, it will :)

Technocratic Union agent Carmen Vasquez

(So it was my first time ever trying out Hero Forge. Just did it to try and see if I could create my current character from a game of Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition, its not perfect but I like how she came out and I decided to post it here because there is not enough love out there for the Technocratic Union. I never thought that I would be into them when I first got into the game. But after reading Technocracy Reloaded, I have completely fallen in love with the Technocratic Union. Who needs the Traditional Orders when you can be in the Magical MIBs? Marching as part of a brotherhood of black suits, to bring order and secure mankind’s continued survival in a World Of Darkness. While the Traditional Orders try to break down the modern world and invite in monsters and eldritch horrors with their careless pursuit of Ascension, the Technocracy will bring about a new golden age of Enlightenment, Technology, and Unity, for all mankind. Ascension will come in due time. When it is safe for all humanity to do so, not when a few Gandalfs feel its right for them to do so and leave the rest of us behind to deal with the fallout. ) An American woman of Puerto Rican descent (though a few generations removed from her original family members which came to the United States long ago). She doesn't carry on most of the traditions and acts of her extended family. She's considered very 'Americanized' by her extended family, as she only really shows her connection to her ancestral home in her choice of cultural cuisines (and in her swear words when angry). Though she's American enough now that she might enjoy a quick hamburger over taking the time to make herself some Alcapurrias. She still speaks Spanish fluently, though she sounds like she has an accent to native speakers. Carmen has always enjoyed a sense of order in her life and in her world. A sense of duty, and control. These things satisfy her to know that the world can be an orderly place (despite how fucked up it seems) and she feels that there is safety in it. As well as a true honor in providing that same sense of order and security to other people. It wasn't that surprising to learn that she found herself working in law enforcement, before being taken in by the DEA to help with translations. She was more than happy to move up in the world and take on bigger crimes (and honestly she really liked the paycheck better even if she was rarely ever out in the field). Recently though she's noticed more eyes on her, strange headaches, and a calling....a calling that she isn't sure she fully understands. But she will soon enough, as others intervene to bring her into the fold. Originally she was not meant to become part of the Technocratic Union, as she did not meet several of their required standards, but circumstances have changed. They need more manpower and more people to fill in the black suits. What happens after her induction is up to her, she can only hope to do her best and be a fine addition to those that keep reality safe for all humanity.

Carmen is as skilled with a gun as she is with a first aid kit, and a chemical analysis kit, making her a valuable addition to any Technocracy field team. She also cares deeply for other people, is naturally empathetic, always trying to boost the morale of her teamates or support personnel, and will try to negotiate or make peace with those that are not an active threat to her team, or to civilians. 

But that being said, if they are a threat to reality, or to innocents around them, she will put them down and not lose a wink of sleep over it. She truly believes in the cause of the Technocracy, and has been in the New World Order long enough that she is willing to shed blood sweat and tears for a safer world. She’s seen how fucked things are, global warming, anti-vaxxers, white supremacists, and more. All things trying to tear the world apart, to plunge it into a new dark age. (And that's before we get into the literal monsters and demons and freaking Cthulhus. Carajo!) Someone has to be out there looking out for the common person, and that someone is her and the Technocratic Union.
