I've had an idea for an NPC that could be fun to use in someones game, but as I don't really have any desire to GM, and my current game is going great without it, I thought I would toss it out for other folks to play with. He could also prolly be used as a PC but he wouldn't be very well liked I would imagine.

A fat slovenly head chef for the biggest most famous restaurant in town. The place is so popular that only reservations are booked for months in advance. The chef's dirty little secret: Red Court Vamp venom. He has a some of them imprisoned in his basement/freezer/pantry/whatever that he milks daily and mixes the addictive substance into all of his recipes.

Other twists: The prisoners could be full or only partially turned. He himself could be a vamp or partially turned. He could be a white court who feeds on gluttony.

Here's his profile:

Ok, so when creating an Item of Power (IoP) a must is to have an aspect for that item. Does that aspect have to be worked into your phases, or is it a completely separate aspect from your 5 character phases? If it is part of your phases, which phase does it fall under? How many more times can I type the word phase in this post? Phase.

All right, so I know that I've got some time before the Dresden comes out, but I need to start getting used to the FATE system. As I recall, Dresden is built on the Spirit of the Century rules correct? So, I need to get that book, what else do I need to get started?
