The Queen's Last Pathfinder

You are part of a secret arcane organization that serves Her Majesty, the Queen of England.  Specifically part of an elite squad of scouts versed in the Ways of the Nevernever.  That is until the Queen's Pathfinders were ambushed and killed in {PLOT DRIVEN CONFLICT} leaving you as the last.

This. Is. Awesome!

Grampa's Mysterious Pocketwatch

This watch is actually an item that you found in your grandfathers' attic. When opened it is a powerful beacon for the spirit world, attracting the attention of any nearby ghosts or spirits and giving them power enough to form ectoplasmic bodies so that they can communicate and affect the mortal world. It can even be used to bind them to your will! You can close it to reduce the beacons strength, but it's power is too great to ever truly be hidden. The wielder of this watch is both highly respected and hated by the spirits in equal measure, drawing spirits eager to help you in the hopes you'll grant them a favour and spirits that want you and the watch to disappear.

Invoke: Can be used to persuade or intimidate ghosts. Sometimes a ghost may knock an opponent of balance or push you out of the line of fire.

Compel: The supernatural community want the watch and many people can sense it, especially when used. Ghosts may attempt to trip or push you in to danger and items may break or fall in ways hazardous to your health. Don't try tightrope walking!

Glad you liked it!  ;D

Lord Of The Files

A confirmed beauracromancer, you organize the ancient and byzantine filing system of the White Council.

Invoke:  Make declarations about details filed away that no one else would know, boost your organization attempts, boost Contacts rolls.

Compel:  If you don't do it, no one will.  Everyone needs your help, but no one wants your job.  Compel for horrible days when everything just goes to crap because of miscommunications and everyone is clamoring for your attention.

And what if you were a man with no True Name? Maybe you resonate different on the magical level and you attract a lot of undue attention... it would be a pretty awesome premise for a game!
Not having a True Name was my initial thought too, but it seemed like too much of an "out" insofar as being protected from certain magical effects might go... though I do agree with your take on making for an awesome game.

Old Eyes In a Young Face

Your eyes are heavy with the burdens, knowledge and stresses of one much older than you appear to be.

Invoke: For bonus to social skills where wisdom, or at least the appearance of wisdom, would be useful.

Compel: Wisdom has a price. Like it or not people constantly seek you out for advice or help, not caring how weary or occupied you may be. Compel to have people come knocking at inopportune times or asking you settle things far outside your expertise.
