Not Suited To Combat Magic;

Fantastic: Discipline, Lore,
Superb: Conviction, Deceit,
Great: Intimidation, Presence, Scholarship,
Good: Alertness, Contacts, Empathy, Resources,
Fair: Athletics, Endurance, Investigation, Rapport,
Average: Craftsmanship, Stealth, Survival, Weapons,

Stunts:

Hard Boiled (Discipline) (-1)
You don't Want Any of This (Intimidation) (-1)

Powers:

Mythic Mental Toughness [-6]
Refinements [-28]

Ancient Mai is not primarily an Evocation specialist, managing ‘only’ 10 Shift Evocations offensively (and 11 defensively). She made the Ward Hounds which strikes me as Summoning and a bit of Crafting/Conjuration, hence her skill in those areas, she’s also good at Wards and Ectomancy and a past master at Veils.

She’s old and canny, but her physical prowess has taken a hit over time, as has her skill total.

She, too, has been modified slightly to reflect a higher general power level. And gotten some Mortal stunts for being scary and mentally tough.

I honestly don't know whether I'll be statting up Aleron LaFortier, though if I do he'll be at -32 to -35 Refresh. His replacement would be even lower, likely around 30.

EDIT: Added Mythic Mental Toughness.

Lara is referred to as, if anything, faster than Thomas so upping his Speed caused me to up hers. She can also spot a lie, does impressive things with a blade, and has expensive cars to throw away. Hence her additional Mortal stunts. I also tacked on a few skills (like Scholarship) that seemed necessary. That’s really about it.

Oh, I did change one of her Aspects. I don’t think Dresden is central enough to her life to be an Aspect, and Ramirez soul gazed her and found out that her word is good, so she needed an Aspect for that.

And here I've modified Lara slightly to go with my interpretation of how superior White Court powers work (all Recovery powers and one level each of Strength and Speed go under Feeding Dependency and nothing else does). Over the course of Turn Coat through Cold Days, she gets much scarier politically, and her Contacts rises to Fantastic. Her other skills remain more or less unchanged.

EDIT: Upped Lara's Deceit to Fantastic and actually showed her Fantastic Contacts on the sheet above. this is all Advancement she received after becoming the Queen of the White Court. It's possible there a few other Skill increases in there as well, but I think they're less clear. I also added Windfall because, looking over my builds, it's odd for Thomas to have it and not her.

Reviewing the Shapeshifting rules, the Skinwalker seems not to need Mimic Form, so I skipped it. This leaves the beastie at 'only' -33 Refresh.

Looked over Carlos Ramirez and, having re-read White Night upped his Guns and Investigation skills. He's probably even badder than this by Changes, but we haven't seen enough of him to be able to tell.

Sure, I was kinda planning on doing her next anyway. Just to round out my Wizards.

Here's a bit more advanced version of Molly Carpenter. By Turn Coat and Changes she's developed into a full Wizard, with some legitimately useful Evocation skills and a knack for Divination. I peg her as a full Submerged Level character at this point, and have statted her appropriately. I upped her conviction and Lore to Good, and got her a bit of Fists for emergencies. I also got her the basics of Scholarship, since I'm betting she's a high school graduate by now. I also gave her Guns, since Harry mentions instructing her in their use.

She's also pretty good with the actual use of her sex appeal by this point, and I'm betting her mundane stealth skills have gone a bit down hill as she relies on Veiling, so I upped her Rapport, got her some Presence, and lowered her Stealth slightly.

In terms of Foci, the bracelet is speculative, but makes sense, and the Wand is actually straight from Changes. Water as her third element is speculative, but also not a big deal, she uses Spirit for everything anyway.

Long-term ones, yes, but short-term veils can also be a Spirit based Evocation effect. See p. 255 under Spirit for rules on that.

Shouldn't Molly have some points in Guns? IIRC, Harry made sure to teach her how to use a shotgun at the very least.

Excellent point. I'll fix that immediately.

EDIT: And fixed. I dropped Contacts for it. She can tag Carpenter Kid for effect to get any contacts she actually has anyway.

Well, here's Billy. I didn't think he gave himself enough credit in Lore or people skills, and it seemed he should have a Mundane stunt, and he's in Grad School, so I figured he needed it. He's a slightly above Submerged character, and quite terrifying in wolf form. Default Alphas likely aren't quite as scary, though Georgia probably will be.

This is Will circa Small Favor, by Changes (or more accurately Aftermath), he's picked up a couple of skill points (boosting Fists and Survival in human form, Might and survival in wolf) and Inhuman Recovery.

And here's Georgia, made very intentionally to equal Billy. Though in a different area. Her Survival is admittedly arbitrary, but she needed something to round out her skill list and it felt right.

This is Georgia circa Small Favor, by Changes (or more accurately Aftermath), she (like Will) has picked up a couple of skill points (boosting Endurance and Resources in human form, Fists and Might in wolf) and Inhuman Recovery.
