Notes: Here are the Eebs. Pretty simple, though I decided to give them the homebrewed version of pack instincts, as it seemed more in line with what they showed when storming the FBI building. I gave them Supernatural Strength and Speed, as my personal theory about their aversion to close combat is aside from laziness is because they simply can't take damage very well. Plus, it give more credit to the fact that they killed two goblins on their home turf than simple surprise factor. Thoughts?.
Changed up the skill set and stunts, reduced supernatural strength and speed to inhuman and added incite emotion and made finally managed to line up the aspects in a way I'm satisfied with. All in all as Harry stated tough but doable.
vultur:
The Eebs have five Good skills and four at Fair, this won't work.
Also, they should have a decent Burglary skill, IMO.
Maybe give them skills of:
Superb: Deceit, Guns
Great: Contacts, Fists, Lore, Stealth
Good: Burglary, Discipline, Intimidation, Resources
Fair: Alertness, Athletics, Craftsmanship, Presence
Average: Driving, Empathy, Endurance, Might
(That's 50 skill points instead of 49, but...)
I personally wouldn't have given them Supernatural Strength either, but that's entirely arguable. Still, maybe replace it with Incite Emotion (Confusion, At Range) ? (and then you could drop the Mesmerizing Gaze stunt and replace it with Takes One to Know One (Deceit).)
Jebm:
Thanks for noticing, I was a bit of rush when I finished up this morning. Incite Confusion does seem more appropriate as Harry mentioned that Esmeralda could have Bart seeing anything she wanted. I decided to give them the strength boost off of the Red Court Noble Template, despite ya know, not being nobility as their aspect will attest to. I could remove Supernatural Speed to offset it. Do you think the whole "hide in the shadow of their flesh mask" would be an aspect or just an advanced usage of the regular Flesh Mask power?.
Also would it be much of a stretch to assume they have some ability with summoning rituals , as I always felt it was implied they summoned the Ick themselves.
PatchR:
How would one handle Rashid's (click to show/hide)sending of letters through time? mechanically? Is it part of Transportation which seems possible, or is there an hereto unspecified specialty of Thaumaturgy relating to this?

They COULD have the Supernatural powers, I just don't think they necessarily need them, I see them as more skill/contacts/stealth/etc. than raw power.

Neither, I think the effect of sunlight as their Catch is just somewhat reduced (not treated as an environmental hazard, or only in full noon sunlight, or something...)

I had assumed they just got it through their Red Court contacts as a "Red Court hunting/war animal" (probably transporting it through the NN, though) rather than using a summoning spell, but...
