I am playing around with the idea of a Mage, though can fall back to Beast if more of those are needed.  I am mostly trying to remember how to make a Mage character at the moment.  :P  My leading concept is an overly obsessed sleep researcher (Obrimos with Mind/Force/Power) to tie into the Astral Realms where the Beasts are.  But I keep on falling back to a Mastigos or Thyrsus as well.  They all seem like they could be made to fit with a Beast fairly well.
