You should have an update including the fairy initiation ceremony.

I really liked Demonreach as a personality.  I think of him much the same as an Asimov robot--programmed with a specific purpose, interactive abilities with humans, no sense of perspective unless told, obedient to the Warden.  Only he may not have the same rules as an Asimov robot about not harming folks.

Were means Man, actually.  Tera would be a wolf-wo, I think.  This has been your etymology lesson for the day.

I applaude you for my hearty guffaw.   :D

Vegas would be OK with me.  We have non-stop flights from Des Moines to Vegas... :)

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that last name for Michael's family: Carpenter.  As in--the profession of Jesus' earthly father and most likely the profession he himself followed until his ministry?  It's also more literal as Michael is in the construction trade.

I have a BS in Biology.  I was 9 credits short of a BA in Religious Studies as well, but just got too stressed out the final semester (my scholarship only lasted 4 years) so I dropped it back to a minor.

I've worked in academia, private sector, and for the last 6 years, government.  As we like to joke:  "I'm with the government.  I'm here to help."

Speaking of Maximum Pathos--one of my characters has gotten lot of play that way though it was unintentional on my part.  Mostly because I made her severely flawed.  She's cursed never to know happiness.  Which means the GM can throw all sorts of evil things her way and make it sound perfectly reasonable...  He loves that character!

I have found that our GM's plan quite a bit, but as we are a group of inevitable weirdos we always make the easy stuff way harder than it has to be and the hard stuff totally odd-ball.  Which is why I had to have one figure out die modifiers for my pitcher character throwing pool balls at the heads of Canadian zombies... (she was marvelously successful) and why I had another group totally botch breaking down a door (basically the door won).  Rule of thumb for the GM--never let them roll for anything that you think it would be totally ridiculous for them to fail at...

Though throwing a situation that the characters would have difficulty with is fair game.  We once had to elicit information from a little girl in a playground and it was the hardest part of the whole evening.  We all look like scary creeps--why would a little girl talk to us???

I'd be interested in seeing a spa or exclusive resort. 

Or if people are feeling twisted how about a itty-bitty ice cream shop?  Who doesn't like a little soft-serve with their clever banter?
