Gabe: Ed, since I'm at work and can't check my email... I was wondering if you could explain to me the insanity in past live background. Also just what is the ward disadvantage?

I noticed your attributes seem to be min/max 'ed in one catagory, as I said in the email I'd drop your stam by at least one and add that point to dex. A dex of one means your very, very clumsy. Also I'd lower the indimitation stat to at least 2. You have one str, almost no fighting ability yet you can indimidate? I'd suggest putting one of those freebie points into langauges. Nobody has these and they are important for an occult character.

Of course if have a good story for why your guy has such a high indimdation I'm glad to listen.

for the intimidate, i was thinking that he would have a high presence (re hero system) and thus put points into intimidate. but if it will never work because it must pair with strength, then i'll move them elsewhere. not sure how the system works. does intimidate always pair with strength? i mean, there are a lot of low strength villains who can be menacing and intimidating by their force of character. Think the Scarecrow. Not a physical menace, but can be scary as hell. My concept was that he could lead by strength of character, and bully by strength of character as well.

the insane past life background is that one of your past lives is insane and at times tries to take over n shit. it's in the player's guide. requires the merit past lives. will work on a backstory for it. it is a counterpoint to the merit Ancestral Ally, which he also has.

Ward: "You are devoted to protecting a "sleeping" human, perhaps a close friend or relative from your pre-supernatural days. These mortals have a knack for unknowingly getting in the middle of whatever mess you're involved with, or may even help create one." I was thinking that he will have a sister who is hominid, likely werewolf bound, but is young, say 10-13 years old. he has an obligation to keep her safe until her change.

I hadn't looked at languages, sounds like a good idea.

Gabe: Hmm okay, I think we need to take a look at the revised copy of the book if possible. There is a background called ancestors where you can channel them to up stats, but there is a chance... that they don't let go of your body. If your crazy one gets a-hold of you... I think that may work.

I'm going to play around with who your ward is, if thats okay. Would you be okay with having 2? (no you don't get double the points) They would be twins, something that almost never has happened.

One thing I also noticed is your manipulation is low, which is fine, because your charasmia is very high. Just means you lead by example, like you said. However it means your bad at lying and scheming, not bad, just letting ya know.

I get the having a high presence thing. I'd drop those bits of the indimidate then and buy some willpower if you haven't and up your langauge stat by at least one or two. We can go through the details laters, as long as we have a general idea of what your guy is like.
