  The job of a Warden of the White Council is quite thankless- the measure of his success is how unknown he remains to those that he protects. His failures become literally the thing of legend. The Warden of the Shenandoah Valley was quite successful by this measure. The mechanisms of the supernatural had not kept pace with areas around, and that mitigating influence had spread throughout the area to make the verdant area a relatively safe place.
  
  But what happens when the area is stripped of its supernatural protector? With the turmoil in other areas, there is no one to step into the breach- the White Council is already spread thin by the Vampire Wars. So who will keep the floodgates from overwhelming the area?

  has perhaps a little merit, as these versatile spellslingers
  are often self-taught or—let’s face it—at
  least dabbling in some grey, if not outright black,
  areas of magic in order to get a leg up. This
  fairly common moral flexibility turns into a slippery

  When they call upon the abilities of their faerie

  have small, limited powers, whether due to
  long-forgotten traces of inhuman bloodlines,
  exposure to the supernatural, or simply the right
  combination of willpower and belief. These

  Court vampires appear to be the weakest—but
  they are no less deadly. They are also the closest

  interbreed with humans. They feed on the strong emotions of their victims and they can excite these emotions in their victims as well.

  His is an ancient bloodline, heir to the magics of old and able to command their full array; given enough time and preparation, there is very little to limit what a wizard can accomplish beyond the fetters of his own belief in what he can do.

  Suggested Strength: Wizard's Blood
  
  Suggested Weakness: Obligation
conversations.prefix: Wizard:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Focused practitioners are the minor-league of the spell-slinging set. They have one rather narrowly defined aptitude at spellcraft which they practice to the exclusion of all else. Sometimes this is due to the practitioner

  sometimes it’s simply the result of a mystical
  blind spot.

  Pure mortals can come from all walks of life—
  police, doctors, mobsters, actors, students, and more.

conversations.prefix: Incite Emotion:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're able to take on the form of a beast, covering purely physical changes appropriate to the alteration.
conversations.prefix: Beast Form:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When acting with a pure heart and intent, your touch is anathema to the supernatural, and your very voice can drive them away or cause pain to a lesser extent.
conversations.prefix: Exhortation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The counter of Evocation, Thaumaturgy is a subtle art- and slow.  It does allow for greater power and effects given that one thing that casters so often don't have- time.
conversations.prefix: Thaumaturgy:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A lesser version of Evocation, Channeling is better controlled than Evocation, but is limited to one element.
conversations.prefix: Channeling:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A lesser version of Thaumaturgy, specialized in one of its aspects (wards, crafting, veils, etc)
conversations.prefix: Ritual:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A hodge-podge mixture of the abilities of Evocation and Thaumaturgy- but granted by a patron, instead of innate ability.  As such, it's tailored to the patron, and beholden to its whims.
conversations.prefix: Sponsored Magic:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your faith is proof against the supernatural, enabling you to ward a place or person against its effects.  More powerful when warding the threshold of a building than an ad hoc barrier or protection.
conversations.prefix: Blessing:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can (and must when coupled with Feeding Dependency) feast on a particular strong emotion.  This feeding causes you to become stronger as your victim weakens.  If you kill with this ability, it fully restores you.
conversations.prefix: Emotional Vampire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can (and must when coupled with Feeding Dependency) feast on the life force of other living beings through drinking their blood .  This feeding causes you to become stronger as your victim weakens.  If you kill with this ability, it fully restores you.
conversations.prefix: Blood Drinker:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your powers are rooted in your pledge to a power in faerie- this brings with it obligations.  Also, your ties with the fae make you minimally affected by the same weaknesses that plague them.
conversations.prefix: Faerie Pact:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You’ve got to act a certain way to be the best you — it’s like fighting with one hand tied.
conversations.prefix: Code of Honor:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: At some point, something marked you.  It might have been your use of things unknown, or just talking to the wrong being.  But it left a mark, and others that can see such magical energies can perceive it.  And it colors their view of you.
conversations.prefix: Shadowed by Power:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you get emotional, bad things happen and you lose control of your body.  This might mean you change into a normal human, or that you change into something much worse.  You have to have an alternate form for this.
conversations.prefix: Involuntary Change:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You need to feed on human life force in some manner.  If you don't, you start to lose potency and control- and may eventually die from starvation.
conversations.prefix: Feeding Dependency:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're on a mission from God, and when you act in a manner that is not in accordance with that mission, He makes himself known.
conversations.prefix: Righteousness:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have a literal Achilles heel that affects your powers.  The stories of vampires and their weaknesses?  They're real- and there's something out there that has the same effect on you.
conversations.prefix: The Catch:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Though you haven't necessarily done anything wrong, it seems that you have an aura of wrongness around you.  Animals and children especially find you upsetting.
conversations.prefix: Unsettling:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A darker power has claimed you, and you have certain obligations to fulfill.  And you can be sure that when they come due, it will not be pleasant.
conversations.prefix: Dark Pact:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've broken one of the White Council's laws of magic.  And while they are the enforcers of the worldly repercussions, there are very real metaphysical consequences that make your path now on a slippery slope.  Temptation is a way of life- and if you're not careful, it can become a manner of death.
conversations.prefix: Lawbreaker:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Those who can't afford to pay, or can't afford to be noticed by the system come to this dilapidated building.  Though it's in the bad part of town, there's an understanding among the supernatural and mundanes - nothing goes down here.

conversations.prefix: Cash and Carry:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: As long as there have been pretty things that others have wanted, there have been strong counter measures to deter those that would take them.
conversations.prefix: Hot Security Systems:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A favorite hangout of  college students, rail commuters, and sports bar enthusiasts this regional chain has enjoyed much success in the area. 
  
  On a more supernatural level, with the number of mundanes in the area, it's been the meeting place to get good food and hang out.  The conjunction of rail road tracks nearby mirrors in the NeverNever a conjunction of ley lines, though the Warden has been very good about keeping outbreaks policed.
conversations.prefix: Wild Wing Cafe:

conversations.value: There's the old adage- if you don't plan to succeed, you plan to fail.
  
  And you don't really plan to fail, do you?
conversations.prefix: What's the Plan, Man?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Some crimes are obvious - the tell-tale bit of blood, the broken vase, all of the things criminals leave behind when rushed.
  
  Others, aren't so obvious.  That's where investigation comes in.
conversations.prefix: Possible Crime Scene:

conversations.value: Built in 1924, the Norcross Station Apartments started life as a transfer and storage building in Downtown Charlottesville.  Now it has new life as a loft based living space for the young urban professionals in the area.

conversations.value: As with many security guards, Erich Adler wanted to be a policeman.  But, unlike many of those, Erich was more than aware of his many deficiencies.  As such, security guard is his goal, rather than being an also-ran, and he takes it rather seriously.

conversations.value: The life of a changeling can be... difficult at the best of times.  Soup has experienced the very worst of that.  He doesn't say it, but his expressive eyes do.
  
  There's also a sense of compassion for others when meeting him, a sense of mirth and playfulness, and a hint of his inquisitive nature.
  
  Just like a goblin.
  
  He's going to have to make a choice soon, and he knows it.  But in the meantime, his association with the warden pro tempore is letting him see a side of the supernatural that lets him glean a lot of knowledge for that inevitable choice.
conversations.prefix: Shane "Soup" Ginnell:

conversations.value: Knowledge is Power.  But no matter how much you prepare... sometimes the only knowledge you have is what you see, what you feel, and what you think.
  
  So... what do you think?
conversations.prefix: Assess a situation:

conversations.value: No matter what the drug, there's the chance of too much causing bad things.
  
  You're in one of those situations, and it's deteriorating fast...
conversations.prefix: Overdose:

conversations.value: Though the building looks like the others that surround it, the Warden's sanctum is a nexus of ley energy on the campus- a perfect place to house the White Council's representative.

conversations.value: When a vampire takes a mortal, the first stage of the unfortunate's life is as a Red Court Initiate. Not quite a full vampire, but a lot more than mortal, they switch over after taking a human life using their abilities.  But that is regulated by their master- to teach them control...

conversations.prefix: Stolen Data:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: As one of the only all-night coffee shops (other than diners) in a college town, the Mudhouse is the place to go after the party to actually talk and socialize.  Free wi-fi, a juice bar, and lighting conducive to overcoming alcohol imbibement help to reinforce this reputation.

conversations.prefix: Trust Fund, Faerie Style:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Not much gets passed a Gobber.  Whether this is because they’re observant or just plain nosy is up for debate.  However, the combination of heightened senses and opportunistic awareness makes them excellent at ferreting things out of people and places.  Even the most subtle cue or tidbit rarely gets by them, especially when it’d benefit them.  
  
  It also tends to keep them alive longer - since its hard to sneak up on something with ears like a green fennec. 
conversations.prefix: Gobber Sense:
