31 Character Challenge, Day 03: Advanced FASERIP
I'm a little late on Day 3's entry due to spending most of the day in bed not feeling well, so this will technically be part one of a doubleheader.
I wanted to get away from fantasy for today, so I decided to delve into one of my favorite genres: superheroes! Immediately to hand was one of my more recent acquisitions, Advanced FASERIP by Gurbintroll Games. I decided to let the dice tell the story, with minimal input from me to smooth things out.
Heather Benford is old money, a debutante scion of a wealthy family best known for jet setting around the globe to visit exotic locations. During a trip to the Middle East to explore ancient ruins, she encountered something she never expected: a terrifying, eldritch image, wheels within wheels covered in eyes that spoke in a voice like thunder: "BE NOT AFRAID."
This indescribable being called her by name and told her that she had a great destiny, blessed by Heaven itself. The world was threatened by the forces of Hell, and Heather would become one of Heaven's instruments against them. Suddenly, the fearsome entity coalesced into the form of a well-dressed, beautiful man of Middle Eastern extraction. He re-introduced himself as Amir. He was to be her mentor, he said, and would train her to become that weapon.
Amir did indeed train Heather, pushing her to and beyond her limits. She became a fearsome martial artist, learned in occult lore and able to focus her inner divine light into fabulous external effects. She learned to use that same light to sear the infernal with Heaven's wrath. Now Heather still travels the globe, but in secret she fights the minions of Hell to protect the world. The demons have learned to fear the one they know as Angellight!
