Welcome to the board, jack.

Anyway, I don't feel like writing up three backstories right now. But every element seems mechanically interesting, so here's a set of three possible writeups for the same person.

Susan Xiao (Submerged)

Magic is a fascinating thing. Some people, when they discover it, become absolutely consumed by its study. And Susan is one of those people. Her powers emerged when she was a teenager, and she promptly dropped out of school to try and perfect them. Her parents didn't approve, people thought she was crazy, and she sort of ended up as a hermit. But she's pretty happy nonetheless.

dmonty7990:
A channeling Terramancer teutonic knight from the 13th century at neck deep power level

Sanctaphrax:
Neck deep? I'm guessing 9 Refresh, and maybe 32 skill points.

What would you think of this Power/stunt setup?

Stunts:
Holy Warrior (Conviction): Use Conviction for knowledge of theology, pilgrimage routes, church politics, and other such things.
Attuned To Metal (Discipline): Wield metallic melee weapons with Discipline.

Powers:
Channelling (Earth) [-2]
Refinement [-1]
Supernatural Toughness [-4]
The Catch (Toughness comes from using magic to strengthen his armour, so it doesn't work if he's not wearing metal armour or if he's facing an attack that bypasses mundane armour.) [+3]

That costs 6 Refresh, so you've got room for Lawbreaker or for replacing The Catch with Limitation. The focus slots would probably go into a defensive focus item, since you said you wanted to focus on non-attacking spells in the other thread.

In case you're wondering, I added Attuned To Metal and Supernatural Toughness because I wanted to give the character good reason to wear conventional armour and carry a sword.

dmonty7990:
That's actually 100x better than what I made. Thanks!

Wizard H:
How about a libriomancer like Isaac Vainio?
