Cathedral of Broken Hearts



Characters


Becoming a hunter demands reason and will. Joining one of the many hunter organizations often requires a lot more, including education and/or training, special (and even mystical) rituals, and approval by leaders far above.

The only limitation for hunter characters are their Abilities and Numina. No character submitted should have any Numina beginning at Level 5, nor host several Numina at Level 3 or 4. Keep the character sensible; if such high levels are displayed too readily, the character will be asked to leave the TUG. Remember that Psychic Numina especially are rare, and True Faith is even rarer. Hedge magic isn't quite as rare, but far from common still. This has less to do with potential power abuse and more with illogical social stratification. The leaders of the factions are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run). When submitting your character’s name to add to the TUG roster, include only the character’s general organization, such as Society of Leopold or FBI. If the character isn't an actual hunter, simply mark her as "mortal" or "Sleeper".

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the CBH. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (faction) must be discovered IC. Only the name of the player of the character will be listed; contacting said player is left to his peers' devices (using the mailing list is a good idea).

    The formation of teams in the Cathedral of Broken Hearts game is strictly voluntary and personal. They are well-advised, both IC and OOC. Players wishing to run plots can more effectively wind them around established (or establishing) teams instead of random characters.
