Cyberfantasy campaign crew!
Here they are! I’ve sketched the full party from the upcoming Cyberfantasy game I’m running! How will these characters navigate this Transversal Tale? I’m excited to find out!
Ace is an orphan of the station, an Aasimar ranger brought up by a man named Atlas, head of a local gang in Loadershurk. She’s 16, surly, and more than willing to answer any question with a knife. And an incredible second story worker. She keeps losing her ring sized halo, but it also keeps finding her again…
Hembauc is a human fighter from War World and a relatively recent transplant to the Transversal. He, his mother and sister all had their corporate contracts purchased, freeing them from a lifetime of warfare on the battlegrounds of the corporations- a fact Hembauc resents immensely. He is a tool of war honed by generations of mutations, implants and gene therapy… stuck working as a small time bouncer and merc to keep his mother and sister housed and fed.
Percy ‘Verbal’ Blake is an Owlin bard who was abducted by mindflayers more than 500 years ago along with his wife Halley to be studied and tadpoled- a fate they managed to escape when the Mindflayer empire was defeated. He was deposited in on the transversal near its founding, she was lost in deep orbit. He’s spent the last 500 years going in an out of cryo, tracking the piece of derelict ship his wife’s Pod is in as it cycles through the system like a comet, passing into close orbit only once every 88 years. Except now his pod is broken, and a part of the hoard of Abraxis the black dragon- and his wife is at the far end of his orbit. Stuck out of time, Percy knows things need to change if he’s ever to live to see his wife again.
Stiggi is the halfling son of a wealthy engineer of the Hyperlane Gate- one whose wealth was wiped out paying for the treatment to an incurable multiversal cancer brought on by repeated exposure to the warp field. Forced to work for the mysterious Collectors, a shadowy organization that moves materiel across the Transversal Citadel, Stiggi has been implanted with chameleon skin, a prosthetic that allows him to change his appearance at will, tangibly- a fact this cowardly klepto rogue makes fervent use of when he’s not working his cover job as a theme park mascot.
Dr. Jacobis Vermenstadt was the premier researcher, druid, and scientific mind behind what promised to be the greatest breakthrough in medical technology and advancement in kith history. Until that medical breakthrough fell through, bankrupting thousands of investors and shareholders, representing the greatest market dip in a generation. Jacobis lost it all, was removed from the galactic health organization, lost his medical license and even lost most of his left side… fortunately for him he found something too. A medical miracle with a consciousness, that chose the body of Dr. Jacobis Vermenstadt to fuse with and hide within…
Finn is a golden boy. Or he was. A fast talking Vulpine Bard, Finn was the beating heart that kept a successful hedge fund rolling, raking in millions, while Finn skimmed a little extra from the top. All was good until he heard of an unbeatable opportunity, a sure shot that everyone was getting in on, a medical miracle pioneered by the great Dr. Vermenstadt. Finn already had his hedge fund all in, but it wasn’t enough- so he went to his gambling buddy Desmond, of the Vermenstadt crime family, of distant relation to the doctor himself- and convinced him to invest in all of his personal wealth in the miracle too. Except the miracle never came and the market collapsed, Finneas was ruined, and the only way to avoid being spaced by Desmond was to be owned by him. Finn wants back on top, and he’ll claw his way up to get there.
These six ignoble characters are about to be thrust into a world of intrigue and danger like none they’ve seen before.
