Frozen Skies: Griffin Squadron (Recruitment)

Post by stormwell »

Its been ten years since the Great Darmonican War ended.

In that time an uneasy peace has held sway, everyone's attention has been on the technocratic and enigmatic Iron Collective whose strict isolationist stance has made it the world's boogeyman. The Gwentian Commonwealth is forced to defend a desert outpost against border incursions whilst closer to home it faces rising tensions as relations with a former wartime ally turn frosty. All the while, sky pirates plague aerial shipping and grow increasingly daring as they attack remote settlements.

Faced with a myriad of threats the Commonwealth decides to form a specialist unit of so-called 'pilot commandos' to combat these threats and more.

The name is this unit is; Griffin Squadron

The Setup

Griffin Squadron is a special unit of pilot commandos who are sent on black op missions in order to defend the Commonwealth and its interests.

Adventures will range from duelling with sky pirates through to espionage against hostile nations.

Roster

1. Pender Lumkiss, stickler for regulations and by the book procedures.
2. Sgt 86Delta, Occultist, Explorer, Financier.
3. Lars: Spike Hawthorne - Ace Pilot & Dead Eye (Sniper)
4. KahlessNestor, upper crust daughter of an archaeologist and has a penchant for the rather unladylike pursuits of flying among other things.
5.
6.

Walter Humperdink reporting for duty sir! I might be a stickler for procedure and too cautious for my own good but I will do what needs to be done (as long it is aptly explained in the manual).

Aleister Crowley. Lots of suspsicion floats around with a name like Aleister's but no one has been able to prove anything. A pretty much secretive individual. He serves the Commonwealth and loves to explore.

Spike Hawthorne - Ace Pilot & Dead Eye (Sniper)
Image

With a name like Spike Hawthorne you can bet he’s been heard of, especially with the black cloud that seems to perpetually float above his career and off duty time.

A self styled aerial speed demon, expert shot, ladies man and trouble finder Spike would be in the brig if he wasn’t so damned charming, or maybe its just he's a damn fine pilot, and pilots are in need! It’s like the uniform was made for him and the rules don’t apply.

Those blue eyes and grin are going to get someone shot.


Notable Skills:

Shooting d8

Lady Penelope Lane reporting. This upper crust daughter of an archaeologist and niece of a member of parliament has a penchant for the rather unladylike pursuits of flying and showing the boys that a lady can have just as big a pair of brass ones as they -- if not bigger.

How about room for a former combat pilot turned adventuring archaeologist?

Name something like Geoffrey Nathaniel Varrins?

Normally you just pitch your character idea. But in this case it looks like the players choose to offer up the completed character for review.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!
