Shadows of Winter


Characters


Becoming a wraith requires one basic thing: the person has to die. Then, if her Passions and Fetters are strong enough, she will linger on in the Shadowlands...at least for awhile.

The only limitation for Wraith characters are their Arcanoi. No character submitted should have any Arcanos beginning at Level 5, nor host several Arcanoi at Level 4. Keep the character sensible; if such high levels are displayed too readily, the character will be asked to leave the TUG. This has less to do with potential power abuse and 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 faction: Stygia, Heretic, Guildmate, Renegade, or freewraith. And if you wish to play a Risen Dead, note that the character is Risen Dead in addition to faction. Remember, no Spectres are to be approved for this TUG. Submit them to the Shades of Darkness game.

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the SoW game. 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).

  • Patrik Vuorinen (Artificers -- Master)
  • Valde Ukkonen (StormRiders-- Boss)

    Circles


    The formation of circles in the Shadows of Winter 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) circles instead of random characters.

    Name: Strike of the Forge -- Valentina Ingrammar, Delbert Wimmer, Stephany Blandford, Seidi Nikkilä
    Description -- A Stygian circle of mixed talents organized to help diminish disobedient outsiders.

    Name: Dredges of Pohjola -- Chandra Rich, Patrick Clady, Elisa Clady, Yana “Asuriel” Wandsworth, Juha Ikonen, Lotte Leefers, Janita Joutsen, Lyydi Lindholm, Jolien Dollekamp
    Description -- A motley circle of Renegades, Heretics, outlawed Guilds, and vindictive freewraiths bent on dodging Charon's law. Their association is by chance, often coincidences of Reaping, but useful all the same.

    Name: Broken Sampo -- Christmas, Jones Willisker, Hubert Stiller, Freja Hammarström, Hannah Kruger, Thibault Lagarde
    Description -- A mixed circle of Renegades, Heretics, and outlawed Guilds bent on their amassing of wealth--whether it be in the form of relics, Pathos, or something grimmer. They meet informally mostly to ensure they do not step on each other's toes.

    Name: Shadowshots -- Chandra Rich, Juha Ikonen, Laimi Nevalainen, Hellevi Kauppila, Saija Tuimainen
    Description -- A Restless Renegade-driven Relic-motorized biker gang roaming the Shadowlands and cruising the Byways.

    Name: White Ramparts of Ukko -- Heli Karppinen, Terhikki Vesa, Noora Hirvonen, Amalia Inha, Virve Korpela, Mirjami Yrjöla, Saila Huttonen
    Description -- A circle of Stygian ghosts who reinforce their Citadel and guard against the ever-encroaching forces of Oblivion brewing out of the North Sea.
