A continuation that starts here. This is part 3 of 3.
I have completed all 36 characters for the Sample Cast. Here they are, for record and reference by character type, and then alphabetically by name.
These are the complicated ones.
All illustrations by me unless noted.
Multi’s
I can’t use “multi-class” because Go Action Fun Time does not really have classes. The closest we have a Focus, and multi-focii comes out as wrong – and inaccurate.
They are really multi-types, falling across more than one of the other five types.
Aria
Cyber pop Diva
You might suspect, especially in the late cyber era, that someone sooo perfect for this role was created somehow. But Aria was born to famous musicians possessing a mutant, inhuman amount of charisma on top of extraordinary talent. With all that beauty and talent (and opportunity) everything has always come easily for Aria, and that has left her somewhat shallow. She means well, and genuinely wants the best for everybody, but she has never personally suffered, and this shows, especially outside of the spotlight.
Greycloak
Elven fighter/magic-user/thief
A multi-classed elf from Ys. C’mon – you’ve played this sort before. Specifically, Greycloak is a professional athlete – the sport is essentially Hide-and-Seek. Also fond of card games and any other game of chance. Since elves are forever young, Greycloak, like his people, struggles with change: growing up, learning new things, healing.
Princess Moonfire
Every magical princess trope combined
Beloved daughter of a petty noble family deep in the Lastocene, Moonfire has chosen a life of adventure to harden her up for the day she must eventually rule. Given how gooey-sweet her personality defaults to, this is a daunting task. She does not come unprepared: she knows some magic, has a wicked sword, and her adorable dress is better than most armor.
Rubia LaRouche
Pirate Princess
Rubia is the daughter of a infamous pirate and a sea goddess, though she does not have a close relationship with either. Though she has neither ship nor crew, she believes herself to be the future Queen of All Pirates, and she does have some skill to back this up.
Shamus McGuffin
Magic Hobo
Shamus was raised among the Leprechauns who stole him as a baby. Rescued, he’s been told from abusive humans who soon died in the Troubles.
Having literally outgrown his hometown, Shamus set out to wander the world by ship and train, but mostly train since he reached the United States.
Tom Swift
Public domain boy inventor
Yes, that Tom Swift – the original circa 1910 who has fallen into public domain. The son of an inventor, Tom seeks to follow in his father’s footsteps only with more adventure and less caution. When he stumbles upon the mass of Miracle Molecule, as he calls it, his life strays quite far from his father – and the source material.
The Miracle Molecule is a blob of alien nano-technology that can transmute into whatever the young inventor imagines – and that’s a lot.
Wizards
We use this term for those who would bend the rules of reality by wit or magic or both.
Cypher
Historian from the far future
Cypher is one of the Monitors of the Lastocene who is curious about Earth’s distant past. She visits with super-human perception, the highest of technology, and a fear of altering the timeline she knows so little about.
Doctor Junior
Super-genius in a wheelchair
Raised by famous research scientists, Junior may eclipse them all due to super-human intellect and driving ambition. At 15, Dr. Jr. has an MD and a doctorate in Physics.
A lab accident has left him mostly paralyzed from the waste down. He plans to move his brain into a robot body of his own design, but needs to wait until he finishes puberty.
Ember
The last Aziza (Sprite)
Ember awoke from hibernation to fins that she was the only Aziza (a variant of Sprite) remaining in her isolated African canyon, and that canyon was about to be over-run by civilization.
Sometime before, perhaps centuries before, Ember was a great hero, but she barely remembers any of that now, though she still has her powers. Once she used those powers to help the sad and lost and exploited – but now she finds she is all three of those things herself.
Felicity Moore
Sit-com witch
Daughter of an ad executive and a witch. Trying to decide between witch college or a mortal university, or just trying her luck in show business. Writes songs, wants to act. Has a cat familiar.
Timm
Atlantean wizard in training
A student at the University of Atlantis, where wizardry is taught like a science. He’s a mediocre student but has outstanding natural ability and has shown great promise in blowing stuff up.
Eccentric and given to hyperbole. Prone to blather. May or may not be a younger version of a Monty Python character.
Verity Grimoire
Gothic witch
Her mother – who she has never met – made a deal with Dark Forces to have a child, and then made a deal with a barren witch to get away with it. Verity has been raised by a witch in the woods and educated by nuns.
She is very proper and extremely strange all in the same.
