Version 2.0 of Kaltan Magheros, the rogue/street performer who also performs at the opera and for parties, tapped into the top and bottom layers of the city. He's displeased about how Barzillai Thrune has drained all the joy from Silver City, and hopes to find a way to have it return. His livelihood depends on it, after all. Well, the semi-legal part of it... Character sheet:

Background: Background Greetings, traveler! I am Kaltan Magheros. Remember my name, because in time it will be written on scrolls and sung by bards throughout the Known and Unknown world! But right now, my way of life is more humble. Let us say, I wear many hats. During the day, I can be found in the Veritas Market showing off my moves or if I'm in a more contemplative mood, telling fortunes; at night I'll be at Aria Park in Jarvis End. Though my performance might look like that of a common tumbler, the more astute will see the little nuances and understand more into it. Oh yes, you noticed the queen card turned into a witch? You must be mistaken! But I can see you are indeed are sharp eyed! If you do not find me in the markets, then you should know that I am also much in demand for performances. (No, there is no truth that a jail cell is my second home.) You might have seen me on the Aulamaxa and Sarini estates. No, not in the main cast, but perhaps in the background, tumbling and doing cartwheels, or someone for the ladies to look at. Do you recall how Dame Orleana, second only to Shenshen, suddenly burst out of her dress during The Griffin's Taming? I improvised a performance and spins to distract the audience while she changed into a new costume. It was exhausting but well worth it. How the audience applauded my efforts at the end! They could hear me all over Cheliax! Some call me superstitious, but one must heed the ways of those who control our fates. I pat a black cat that would cross my path and always kiss a rabbit's foot before I attempt a tightrope walk. Give the Gods their proper attention and they shall endeavour to take care of you, I say. Moving in such varied social circles has enabled me to gather quite a bit of information. The ladies of Aulamaxa with their fine bosoms are so well-versed in opera and what people think of them. Of course, performing front and center at parties allows one to view who or what is wearing, and when the jewelry doesn't quite fit the wearer, there might be the chance to move it to a new ear or neck. If the guilds do not pay for the information, then I may attempt to procure these items on my own. Oh do you hear that? It appears it is my time to leave. So should you be looking for information, someone skilled with a rapier, or someone with a talent for acquiring information,you know where to look for me. But now I must head for the protest; since Barzillal is so devoid of fun one must try even harder to create it. Hopefully those at the protest will still offer a busker a coin or two, and if not, well we'll see if there are other ways to obtain some payment for the tough days ahead. But we must struggle for the return of art and fun, else what is the point of our existence? Description
My submission for the AP. He's a rogue/street performer who has also performed at the opera and for parties, tapped into both the high and low life of the city. A bit of a handsome fop who's a bit too sure of himself, but also superstitious and can often be surprisingly kind. Might be tweaked here and there before Saturday. He's figuring out what to do with all that sweat gold... Spoiler: Kaltan Maghan Stats

Reworked Garvin's stats. Hope they're fine now. GMed first game of Deadlands Reloaded (the one sheet adventure Lynched) and was a total blast with great RPing from the players. Can't wait to GM Night Train.

Thanks to you and kamenhero25. Was using the online Savage Worlds Builder. I'll try to tweak them in the next couple of days.
OK my two character concepts. Let me know if there's anything I should fix. Ripper Concept: Lao Sun Spoiler:
Descendant of a Chinese miner, Lao Sun grew up in a family that kept their Taoist ways. He learned to fight with a stick, and developed a talent in detecting the supernatural. He has heard the legends of the Monkey King, and though his father tells him that the spirit of the God runs in the family, he doesn't quite believe so. He joined the Rippers as there were few options other than working in restaurants or laundry, hoping to pull the family out of poverty. He's in Las Vegas looking for opportunity and learn to further develop his martial skills.
Soldier: Garvin Tomkinson - Trench Gunner Spoiler: Garvin worked as a street sweeper in Norwich before he joined the army. He loved to get into a street fight, but the brutality of the war is more than enough. He bides the time waiting for battles cleaning up the area, and even sewing and repairing or asking someone to tell him stories.

Loup Blanc: Sounds good. Perhaps he was looking for his grandfather and learns that his uncle was a Ripper. He's learned that he has some ability against the supernatural and has joined the fight against the dark. Now he's gone out to Las Vegas to help start the chapter, but also looking for more clues about his grandfather. I'll try to stat him up this weekend.
Count me interested. Have played some Savage Worlds in RL and on a PBP campaign. My Ripper idea is a Chinese miner who went to the US to join the gold rush and ended up realising the promise of gold isn't what he thought it'd be. He's skilled in pugilistics and a worshipper of the Monkey King. He's heard of the Chinese government trying to hunt down some political opponents that have traveled to the US and offering a good bounty, so he's contemplating a change in career. Soldier idea is an Australian soldier who admires Ned Kelly. Probably be an Infantry Rifleman. |
