M:RR

M:RR or the Mage Round Robin is a new Mage the Ascension campaign run as shared setting with multiple storytellers.

Premise

A mildly interdimensional chantry with exits in North America including:

• Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia.

Characters

Chargen Summary

Revised mechanics, probably, but some horrible chimera of Mage, Mage 2E and RevMage cosmology TBD. There's also m20! Use XP-based chargen (linked in the header) save for the following modifications:

• Initial Arete 4.
• 50 XP post-chargen.

Other changes:

• Dodge does not exist anymore. Evasion uses Athletics or Martial Arts maneuvers.
• m20 Martial Arts.
• Familiars use Familiars Via XP.

Setting

As a general note, I think it'll be good to keep presentation consistent but underpinnings vague. This way GMs can vindicate player theories in their work (although maybe not that lazily) by incorporating ongoing theories into major metaplot revelations. Entropy might be kind of powerful!

GM Information

Violette

Plot Hooks:

• Always looking for rare and special materials to make new wonders.
  • Down for monster hunting/capturing.
• Invested in Hermetic politics.
  • Interested in making a proper Chantry house on the East Coast.
  • Wants to raise an apprentice to increase her status.
  • Wants to do important things to gain more authority and influence in the Order.
  • Not as concerned about other Traditions' issues.
• Patron is a Formorian, a spirit that might have something to do with the Worm (although it isn't a Formori).
  • Seelie fae hate her.
  • Most werewolves hate her.
  • That ones that don't might want to use her to advance their own ends.
  • Luckily all of the above can be rendered into good Tass.
  • Unluckily, her patron is a fairly powerful Incarna imprisoned in the Deep Dreaming.
• Has lots of family problems.
  • Mortal family are dodgy circus people.
  • Actual mystical family are losers who are either mortal servants or Sorcerers, except for her dodgy uncle who is quite powerful.
  • Doesn't know who her father is other than that he's a powerful mage from the wrong place- could even be scandalously non-Hermetic!
  • Resented as an upstart.
  • Interested in finding out more and helping out, nonetheless.

Seungryong

Plot hooks and general background things

• As part of his direct action duties in the past has come in conflict with numerous parties that have either wronged the Kims/reneged on deals/been a threat etc. Mostly KJ/vamp and kumiho/shifter smacking but also Technos and the occasional Nephandus. This has of course not made him many friends acting as the tip of the spear.
• Totally wants revenge on the Mongrel Techno/Ex Akashic who killed his team.
• While emphatically a Korean first and Akashic/Trad Mage second, he will render aid to Trad mages who ask and are prepared to compensate with Tass/or if ordered.
• Active duty KPA solider with all that entails
• Firmly believes that reunification is a moral imperative which must be brought about to save his southern brothers and sisters from the soul destroying materialistic existence imposed on them by their Techno/American oppressors.
• Currently hiding out in K-Town with some Nork contacts in LA after almost being ATLASed

Kaneko

• She is on the run from her wealthy-on-hard-times family and their demonic master, water demon Umi no Maou
• Spark of Life is vampire (and progenitor, and verbena) bait
• Is willing to go on heroic quests with little personal investment
• Capable of infiltration and exfiltration, physical or social
