Wraith: the Oblivion

May 26, 2009 17:03

For this week we'll go with the one World of Darkness core setting I've never played or run, Wraith: the Oblivion. First to think of a concept. I think I'll base my Wraith off of Balbir Singh Sodhi. Like Sodhi he'll be an Indian Sikh working the night shift, shot and killed by idiots who thought he was a "dirty Muslim terrorist". Of course since this is the World of Darkness, his killers weren't convicted and the story didn't get more than a "In sad news" newsbite. We'll also make him a family man who leaves behind a wife and a (now) teen-age son and daughter...

Harisha Suresh Sodhi
Nature: Director, Demeanor: Judge

Mental Primary, Social Secondary, Physical Teritary
Str: 2, Dex: 2, Stam: 2 - In death, as in life, Harisha isn't an imposing man
Cha: 4 (Genial), Man: 2, App: 2 - But he always had a friendly greeting and kind word
Per: 3, Int: 3, Wits: 4 (Level-headed) - Calm and collected to the last. And beyond...

Talents Primary, Knowledge Secondary, Skills Teritary
Alertness: 1, Awareness: 3, Dodge: 2, Empathy: 4 (Truths), Streetwise: 3
Etiquette: 2, Stealth: 1, Repair: 1, Drive: 1
Occult: 1, Politics: 2, Linguistics: 3, Bureaucracy: 2, Enigmas: 1

Arcanos:
Castigate: 2, Phantasm: 3

Backgrounds:
Haunt: 2 (Unused attic of store), Mentor: 2 (Cowboy Bob), Eidolon: 2, Contacts: 1

Fetters:
Child's drawing (from daughter): 3
Father's Day mug (from son): 3
Wedding ring: 3
Store where killed: 1

Passions:
Give hope to children *Love* - 3
Watch over neighborhood *Hope* - 1
Bring murderers to justice *Anger* - 2
Help wife move on *Love* - 3
Move on to "true" afterlife *Faith* - 1

Willpower and Pathos both start at 5

And now those 15 Freebie points. Passions are 2 points each, so we'll up al but the "Watch over neighborhood" and "Move on" by 2, so 5, 4, 5. We'll up the last by 1 point to 2. That leaves 1 point, which will bump Pathos by 1 to start at 6...
