Art and Consequences
Amber
Our Heroes
Charles Doore, a once shy and nervous guy. Earth-raised and once unwitting Amberite. We start off as Charles attends College in Charlottesville, VA. on Fencing scholarship and the hope to get laid a lot. Nicknamed “Fat Charlie” after his hazing streak for reasons unknown to him. Fencing is a good training for an Amberite fledgling, apparently. Now, after walking the pattern and roughing it up, Charles is a fearsome combatant and lately discovered he can shape-shift, as well.
Prince Faith, of
Ruritania, taking his
Grand Tour in Charlottesville and finding a kindred spirit in his native tour guide, Fat Charlie. Recently revealed to not really be of Ruritania after all, but of
Latveria, a kingdom located in another world, where he was spawned by
Fiona, raised as a Prince, and figured out how to create True Art and use it to move around.
Art and Other Powers
True Art (as in
trump) is what facilitates most travel through Shadow in this campaign. Because it's so important it has its
own page.
Pattern is something
Bleys has spoken of, something which allows those of the blood of Amber to walk through Shadows.
Shape-Shifting is something those “
chaosites” were capable of, and maybe
Amberites too, as Charles can do that to a good degree of masquerading as others.
Our Story by Sessions
Other Characters, by Shadows
Amber
Fiona, the warm motherly type. Archetype, even
Bleys, her brother. A nice guy, really. Good at raising armies
Latveria
King Albrecht - cold bastard, would have been dead by now if it were not for that damned time differential
Duke Wieland - next in line to the throne if Faith dies and probably planning to do something about it. Owns the best hunting grounds in the kingdom
Baron Hagen - mostly noted for the inspiringly beautiful lady Gisel that he sprouted on his arm
Lord Gunther - constantly gunthing people about magic being evil and devil worship since he suffered a witch related trauma due to getting married; almost got him a duel with Charlie, who ended up being the mature one
Gudrun - chambermaid.
Sigismund - suspect assassin (has no quiver or cloak). Has two girls that Charles and Faith saved.
Donar - Captain of guard (Faith's assistant).
Sigurd - a huntsman
Magni - son of duke Weiland (assassin sender).
Asme - Sigismund older girl (17). Blond.
Dagmar - Sigismund younger girl (15). Also Blond.
Hilde - their fellow captive (16). Dark and unbruned.
Arnulf - Warlock serving Magni.
Prince Kar - Faith's older brother, rescued from his death by drowning by Faith (using time-travel via Latverian Pattern). Kar lived most of his life as a sailor on merchant ships (i.e, a pirate); Since being returned to Latveria he has been appointed heir incumbent. He has reacted baddly to the Abbysification of the
Black Road, and seems to have developed a slight drinking problem.
Avernus
Charlottesville
Larry - Doore's roommate
Rodney - the bartender, Faith's “asset”
Beta Gamma Cappa Sorority chicks
Non Sorority Chicks
Chi Alpha dudes (hazers)
Jules - owner of the house where the cool kids party took place. Possibly can travel Shadow, or somesuch.
Jack Sorax - a Latverian agent, sent by Fiona to protect Charles from Corwin, dead of old age and time differential
John - his nephew and only remaining relative, chosen by him to carry on the torch
put name here - Jack's even other only remaining relative. Charles' bought his house and trumps (if buying means pocketing them and putting diamonds instead).
Creatures of Chaos
Merlin - Claiming to be Charles' son, although by Charles' timeline he is only 3 months old. Has Charles' sword and was pretty handy with the handgun, after several rounds of can shootings.
Merlin's Mom - The scorpion tailed hellmaiden wench. Fiesty.
Alix - whom we mostly know as
Alice.
Zuul - AKA Jules. A chaos agent gone mad who has a thing for killing Charles in the most bizzare, elaborate and ineffective ways.
Monachtra - a chaosite in the form of a black silhouette of a naked woman; Merlin's friend.
