AlchemicalsEx

Run Wednesday when I have a full party, depending on how things work out. Might be a weekly recurrence during winter break and then scale back to bi-weekly after the end of January.

Alchemicals Ex

Alchemicals game, with robot girls, giant Aztec robots the Immaculate Order will name Anathema and a bunch of Blame! and Deus Ex references.

Run by Exhack, who expects at least 4 App 7 robot girls within the fortnight.

You are a special task force assembled from the great champions of Autocthonia, sent out to perform some great task in the service of the Eight Nations. You're all heroes of renown and experience and your undertaking will be the stuff of legends!

Well... not exactly. You're all Byronic heroes to a degree and either have too many clear and obvious failures and flaws, or simply lack any redeeming qualities other than your ability to get things done in the Great Maker's name. Maybe you were a bit too loose, wasting all your time on orgies, or just happened to lack any ethics while testing out new charms that allowed you convert Virtues into [REDACTED]. In essence, you've been assembled and are being sent out on what amounts to a suicide mission so they can get rid of you.

Expect a whirlwind adventure on some colossal Autocthonian tumor-tower that extends the entire length of Creation a thousand times over, a deep space journey through the Wyld or being dropped into the North because.

Also, apparently we're spreading Communism to Creation and preparing for the revolution, which is awesome.

Events

After winding up in the North, the party encountered a hunting camp at the mouth of the White Sea, inhabited by poor refugees and nomads. Several dead Yeddim and broken hearts later, they found themselves assisting in the founding of a new settlement in this region, somehow (but not unexpectedly) heroes of the beleaguered settlement.

Notable Events of the 1st Session:

• Seduced Ragara Kuson, Ess 4 Fire Aspect explorer extraordinaire.
• Tamed a Yeddim and accidentally made it a familiar (name tentative).
• Met the Semigod of Sailors, Kossuk the Boatman
• Heard rumors of a First Age Black Jade mine on the island, in quasi mint condition!

Characters

Scope of the Divine Eye Sniper, soldier, spy. These the the designations given to this Alchemical, crafted from moonsilver and sent out into the wastes. A deep-cover infiltrator, he spent most of his time away from the best of the Great Maker, in the bowels and dark corners of cities and the Reaches. So long he's starting to forget himself amid the dozens of personalities he wears....

Razor Gilded Nymphaea A martial artist, Obsidian Edged Nymphea is one part weapon and one part masterpiece, wrought from Orichalcum as a guardian and symbol of martial and artistic mastery, which has led to her meteoric rise to popularity in Kamak and beyond. Her popularity with the nation of Kamak, though, has been a double-edged sword, making her the only viable choice to show how great of a value Kamak puts on this multi-national project.

Resolute Marvel of Patriotism Built by MJ12 for Rex. Communist Alchemical Aztec Cyborg Power Girl. Now that's a mouthful.

Relentless Terminator of Imperfection A mobile high-power long-range assault platform, Relentless Terminator is both terribly powerful and terribly unsubtle - a soulsteel battering ram to be used against the foes of the Great Maker, a troubleshooter in the most literal sense of the word. With the personality to match, at that.

Politically Expedient Rapier Built by MJ12 for Silence. Hedonism Henry Kissinger Realpolitik Sad Ivory Bot. Proud champion of the "Most Long Winded One-Sentence Explanation of Role" contest for 5 years running.

NPCs

Ragara Kuson A dashing and handsome Fire Aspect adventurer, gentleman and scholar. Is pretty much entirely wrapped around Nymphaea's finger and the party's main guide.

Kossuk the Boatman 2nd Generation Godblooded, Semigod of Sailors. A big man who can survive having his throat slashed several times, and has a knack with anything meant to sail. Actually Ess 1 and kind of weak.
