I'll update my post as I figure out more of my character's background.<br/><br/>Name: Suzuki Katahiro<br/><br/>(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uzqF4sxcW3c/TQmCuW55R-I/AAAAAAAACUY/NIfGEs4I7cw/s1600/584080484.jpg)<br/><br/>High Concept: Voice of the Kami<br/>Trouble: Drawn To High-Stakes, High-Risk Situations<br/><br/>Phase One [Background]: Upright son of of a salaryman and an OL, Katahiro grew up in the corporate culture with the understanding of his parents that one day he would follow in their footsteps.  He found little issue with that, except that the corporation was staid and a bit retrograde for his youthful taste.  However, disappointing his parents' expectations was not something he was going to do.  [Aspect: Father's Gold Plated Business Card Case]<br/><br/>Phase Two [Rising Conflict]: When one is young, one understands that one's parents are gods incarnate.  This as Katahiro grew up understanding was a figurative position and not a literal one.  An encounter with one of the Kami visiting the world changed all of this.  Through an agreement between Izanami with his parents prior to his birth, Katahiro would be guaranteed a healthy birth and life in return for his eventual servitude as Izanami's agent on the mortal coil.  As part of the agreement, sheathed within his mortal frame was the spark of Izanami's divinity rendering him not entirely human.  [Aspect: Cuckoo Child]<br/><br/>Phase Three [The Story: Mirror, Mirror]: Running away from both family and obligation, Katahiro found himself a stranger in a strange land...England.  There he encounters others much like him.  Some though less inclined to willful independence from their progenitors than he and also far less inclined to obeying human mores.  Now Katahiro must figure out where he stands in the world he has fallen into before something ...untoward happens to him.  [Aspect: Mind Runs Faster Than Common Sense]<br/><br/>Up for grabs:<br/><br/>Phase Four [Guest Starring: On The Other Side Of The Looking Glass/ Suzuki Katahiro, Also Guest Starring: Diana Lina]: Falling (Why is it always falling?) into a Japan not his own, the Kami do not recognize him as one of theirs and so his protections fade.  Getting into trouble is Katahiro's M.O., but when his abilities are degraded will he survive against some rather angry yokai?  Also who is that woman that was talking to the yokai earlier before the brawl? [Aspect: ]<br/><br/>Phase Five: [Guest Starring Redux: Things May Be Closer Than They Appear/ Guest Star: Suzuki Katahiro]: Katahiro attempts to engineer a theft of an rather priceless artifact while diverting attention from himself by playing two very interested organizations against each other.  However, both sides are more cooperative than Katahiro anticipated, can he make it out with artifact and skin intact?  [Aspect:]<br/><br/>Skills:<br/><br/>Superb [+5]:<br/>Great [+4]: [Slots: 2] Rapport, Lore<br/>Good [+3]: [Slots: 3] Deceit, Discipline, Performance,<br/>Fair [+2]: [Slots: 4] Alertness, Conviction, Resources, Scholarship<br/>Average [+1]: [Slots: 5]Contacts, Empathy, Fists, Stealth, Survival<br/><br/>Stunts & Powers:<br/><br/>[- 1] Item of Power: The Silver-Tongued Trumpet, [- 1] Marked by Power, [-3] Thaumaturgy, [-1] The Sight, [-0] Wizard's Constitution<br/><br/>The Silver-Tongued Trumpet [- 1]<br/><br/>Description: Reputedly the possession of either Baron Samedi or Old Nick Scratch himself, depending on the story that Katahiro tells, the Silver-Tongued Trumpet belongs to Katahiro now.  The prize for beating them at a contest of musical talent, the Trumpet appears to be a mundane trumpet, albeit one forged from the purest of silver.<br/><br/>Musts: Only those with the spark of the divine may draw on the powers of the Trumpet.<br/><br/>Skills Affected: Performance, others.<br/><br/>Effects:<br/>Calling You Home: Despite its musical prowess, the truest ability of the Trumpet softens the barrier between the mortal world and the Nevernever through its enchanting music.  The wielder expends a Fate Point in order to open up a gateway between the worlds.  The gateway lasts as long as the Trumpet's wielder plays a melody on the Trumpet. [Worldwalker]<br/><br/>Badge of Office: As part of Baron Samedi's regalia, some of its former master's essence has rubbed off onto the Trumpet.  Those who wield the Trumpet find it easier to use ectomancy & necromancy which are part of Samedi's portfolio. [Refinement]<br/><br/>It's A Trumpet: The Trumpet always takes the form of a silver horn of some form.<br/><br/>Unbreakable: As an Item of Power, the Trumpet cannot be broken, save through a dedicated magical ritual predicated on perverting its purpose.<br/><br/>Thaumaturgy:<br/><br/>Focus Item:<br/><br/>Stress<br/>Physical [Endurance]: [ ] [ ]<br/>Mental [Conviction]: [ ] [ ] [ ]<br/>Social [Presence]: [ ] [ ]
