Sasha Wolfe
Concept: Cottagecore Hedgewitch
Virtue: Hopeful
Vice: Fickle
Aspirations: Learn a new arcanum. Find a new place to live. Serve the city through acts of magic and kindess
They have big and well-inentioned dreams of doing good in the city they love, however, they also have shorter term needs (housing) and have specialised early meaning they have gaps in their magical ability. These competing drives are further compounded by their fickle nature which pulls them back and forth between goals.
Attributes
Mental: Intelligence 2, Wits 3, Resolve 3
Physical: Strength 2, Dexterity 3, Stamina 2
Social: Presence 2, Manipulation 2, Composure 3
Their advantages are being quick thinking and resilient, mentally and emotionally. They've got some kind of flexibility training in their background, which could be a daily exercise routine maybe.
Skills
Mental: Academics 2, Crafts 1 (Painting), Occult 2 (Folklore), Science 2
Physical: Athletics 2, Larceny 1, Stealth 1
Social: Empathy 3 (Calming), Expression 3, Socialise 2, Streetwise 2, Subterfuge 1
They have a decent foundation of education and have supplemented this with an interest in folklore and various attempts at arts and crafts. They run, that exercise theme returning, and maybe they've done some shoplifting in the past?
Mage Template
Path: Obrimos
Order: Nameless
Nimbus: Long-term (power fluctuations, surges, and brownouts), Immediate (the sublime harmony of providence), Signature (sanctified and calibrated)
Dedicated Magical Tool: Compass
Arcana: Ruling (Forces and Prime), Inferior (Death). Fate 2, Prime 3, Time 1
Rotes: Interconnections (Fate 1), Perfect Timing (Time 1), Sacred Geometry (Prime 1)
Gnosis: 1
Mana: 10
Obsession: Contact the genius loci of Requiem Hold
Praxes: As Above, So Below (Prime 2)
Their magic is subtle and about bringing the fallen world into harmony with the supernal. They emphasise Prime over Forces, which is maybe reflected in their nimbus. An Obrimos with no Forces has to have some kind of outlet, and in Sasha's case it's their long-term nimbus. Their immediate and signature nimbuses, the ones that reflect the actual effects they perform, are more in keeping with their Prime focus.
I wonder if in some sense, they could have awakened to Arcadia under slightly different circumstances?
Their rotes and praxis include sensing connections between things in the city, between the fallen world and the supernal, and using these connections to subtly enhance their performance.
Merits
Contacts (1; Local Artists), Language (1; Uveti). Mana Sensitivity (1), Occultation (3), Resources (1), True Friend (3; Endel)
They know local artists of all stripes, have a modest income from their various creative works, and have a ride or die bitch in the form of Endel. Their attunement to the harmony of the supernal shows both as a sensitivity to hallows and as a tendency to blend into the world around them. Uveti is a fictional language that I'm considering as a potential indigenous language spoken in the area.
