I love how the universe has worked to connect us all in a city the size of New York!

If Father Pena got Enoli's assistance with finding a missing kid, then Charle's might have had more experience with PI work and dealing with a big city, so mentored Enoli during the experience, helping him deal with people and the strange bureaucratic customs

When Enoli fled from the reservation towards Mexico, his leaving the tribe angered the spirits and they did hound him, just as Grandfather said they would. He realized that the more "civilized" places were quieter, the buildings, lack of nature, and masses of people. So Enoli continued to travel, back to the United States, to the most civilized place he could imagine, New York City.

But the noise of the spirits was replaced by a different type of noise, a spiritual static of racism and greed, growth but also consumption. As exhilarating as New York was, Enoli felt overwhelmed at times. The one place he could find peace was shockingly inside of his people's oppressor's temple, inside of their church.

(maybe this could work? I apologize if I assume to much)
He even found an unexpected friend, a visiting clergy, Father Pena. A man with perhaps his own demons, although he never said so. Enoli was able to practice the Spanish he learned in Mexico, and he shared his own culture with the Father. The Father knew of Enoli's background and skills and may have brought him into the Caduceus fold

Tarondor, I've created this sheet shared below regarding the "folk" magic. The greyed out are malicious spells he wouldn't know/be taught. The rest I have no idea what you will allow to be known or not known, etc.

You'll need either to give me access to that document or better yet, just set is so that anyone with the link can view it.

Sorry I thought I had the permissions fixed, it's good now

Hm, are there spell choices that are a little more reliably beneficial? Like maybe Wall of Protective Force or Summon Cake?

Ha! Yes plenty, that one just caught my eye.

Enoli (Black Fox) Johnson (white provided name) left the reservations of Oklahoma at a young age of 17, traveling south into Mexico with a friend. He worked various jobs both farming or hunting. His skill with tracking caught the eye of the law and he also assisted in tracking bounties.

Won't anyone be Enoli's friend? Maybe he worked for Caduceus already in some capacity and thus met some of the other players?

HAHAHA One of the spells in the book

Call Azathoth
Calling this entity is extremely dangerous and foolish; only
the truly insane would even contemplate enacting the spell
as it has the potential to fry the entire planet. The spell
must be cast outside at night

Hey Tarondor, I'm a little confused on how magic works, there isn't much in the pulp book, but there is a book called the Grand Grimoire that has "folk magic" in it, which is the closest I can see towards any sort of native spiritual shamanism.

Ok, so the original two ideas were a little outlandish, but I'm now for sure one of these two:

Gabriel Rickard
Rogue / Confidence Trickster
Talents: Strong Willed / Psychic Power (Psychometry)(Great for cons)
Skills: Appraise, Charm, Fast Talk, Psychology, Spot Hidden, Persuade, Language(Other)
Whenever there is war, there is aways grift, Gabrial knows this well. Supplies are stolen and sold or traded, and Gabriel knows all the players.

Enoli Johnson
Explorer / Ranger
Talents: Arcane Insight / Endurance
Skills: Animal Handling, Natural World, Navigate, Survival, Track, Listen, Fireams
Enoli is a young Cherokee is a natural tracker, who is one with nature. However, he doesn't believe in the old ways of his people. Grandfather kept telling him over and over that he was the tribe's new shaman and that he didn't have a choice, that the spirits would help him if he accepted them, and hound him if he didn't. So Enoli fled, traveling the world, using his skills for those who will pay him. Enoli still remembers some of the prayers Grandfather taught him as a kid.

So far I have two ideas, but not a lot of mechanics yet, so these may be not feasible until I get the rules clear.

Last we saw Gideon Stargrave, Commander in the Galaxy Corps, he was in the dangerous jungles of Venus, tracking an escaped 8th dimension nightmarish abyss spawn. Running through the jungles, his maser in hand, when he leaped into a clearing, which was circled by strange contraptions. Outside of the ring was his arch-nemesis Lord Vatrix, who simply smiled and pressed a button. Then with a flash of light Gideon was in a new jungle, with a strange unknown sky. He was confused by this but more so as to why Lord Vatrix didn't monologue. His communicator, maser, and jet pack don't seem to be working.

Anyone with any literary interest or background will recognize Gideon as the hero in a series of sci-fi/fantasy series written by Richard Stall. There was the recent news that Stall was institutionalized and his recent work was disturbing and unpublishable. But this can't possibly be Gideon Stargrave, right? Is this some delusional fan?

Alternatively, a doctor and scientist who was working with the government during the war to help soldiers fight. He believed there was untapped potential with the electricity in our bodies, so he had built a steampunk style suit that had an exoskeleton around the body, it injected needles into the muscles of the arms, back, and legs, it had a piezoelectric generator and another unknown energy source, to help amplify the person in the suit, make them stronger, faster. He even was able to extend the electric field out in arcs from the suit's gauntlets. But the government denied his innovations, so now he must prove that they work on his own.

Again, not yet sure if these are feasible in the mechanics, but was fun thinking about them.

Thank you so much for accepting me, I appreciate it and look forward to it, it's going to be a blast.

I usually play a "brains" or mad scientist type, but really I'm open to anything at all.

Reviewing the books it seems there can be a higher fantasy option (psychic, magic, etc), or are we meant to be more grounded? How much into the occult can a character be, or is that world unknown for our group? (for now)

Thanks again!

I want to thank everyone for agreeing, very kind, and thanks to Deneve as well, I have a surgery Friday, and with that and being behind I feel I wouldn't be putting my 100% into it and don't want the game to suffer/slow down cause of that. But again thanks!

Good luck and have fun storming the castle!
