Spare Character Concepts
Richard_Chilton:
Here are links to a couple of characters who would make great "Emissaries of Santa". They are in the main "what would a emissary of Santa look like" thread.
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,23084.msg991002.html#msg991002 - is a Disney version of Santa's helper. Every month or so he rushes off to "save Christmas" for someone, or every month or so the Winter Court fae who hang with Santa get bored and come up with an adventure so they can have some fun. Either this guy is a Guest Star Aspect or two away from being a PC.
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,23084.msg991664.html#msg991664 and http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,23084.msg991665.html#msg991665 - What can I say? I finished it late at night and I rambled a bit. Anyway, this is a different take on the helper to Santa. This one is more or less a jolly drunk who runs a strip club (The Naughty and Nice) who pays off his sponsored magic debts by doing nice things for nice people and bad things to naughty people. When he's pressed for time he hands out beatings - and sometimes that means beatings kids. Much darker than the first one but it ties in with several old myths about how one of Santa's helpers would beat naughty kids (or steal them away forever).
Again, he's two Guest Star aspects away from being a PC.

Peteman:
High Concept: Vampiric Necromancer
Trouble: Fifth Law Violation?
Other Aspects:
Technicalities!
I Hate Vampires.
Or are a complete PSYCHO!!
Basically, the guy decides to try reanimating Black, White, and Red Court Vampire zombies, on the basis that they were not human. He is more than a little unhinged.
Sanctaphrax:
This character owes his existance to the DFRPG resources wiki, which sorts character concepts by power level. It uses a few homebrew power levels (which you can find here: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,21533.0.html) but so far no-one has actually made anything for them. So I set out to make a group of player characters at the On The Beach level, which has 4 refresh and 15 skill points. This guy is the first of them. He carries the Lamp Of Diogenes, which you can find here: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,23461.0.html

Oooh... I like. *steals, adds to campaign* I needed a cranky, crotchety, old bastard to make cryptic statements at the PCs!
Sanctaphrax:
