Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

@AdobeFlash I think I've gotten this to the right point now.

Seph Kane: The Mastermind of the organization. The offices in all the states are managed by minor mages who can deal with everyday goblins and ghosts, but Seph is the one in charge of everything. You may not expect much from straight appearances with his shaggy brown hair and youthful visage, but in his actual presence there is an aura of command and intensity. To stare into his eyes is to look into the building tempest before the storm of the century. He is a highly trained shifter that focused on the creature and enhancer schools. Alongside that he has a rather impressive knowledge of magical devices and weaponry as a hunter. Seph has been in and around magic his entire life and knows damn well the dangers that come with it. He takes his job very seriously, even to the point that he doesn't interact much with the mundane world anymore. He has deeper links to the magical community than even the town he lives in. He's neither anti-social nor rude, but he's clearly left the mundane world for many reasons some obvious like his work others deeply private. All in all he's a good man carrying heavy burdens.

@jasonwolf

This is much better. It's much easier to tell his personality, so thanks for this. I needed a reference point and I got one. God bless.

@AdobeFlashyeah but what if we get the case while they are on a smaller case. The company isn't going to risk getting a bad name for leaving clients for bigger cases.

Also I think I might have the first post done. I'm literally just at the points of do I feel like I defined Markiel and Seph enough that nobody ends up doing something that goes against them unintentionally.

@jasonwolf

Markiel is fine, might want to touch up Seph a bit

@AdobeFlash but then you end up with two players being unavailable for actual cases.

@jasonwolf

That is true. The problem is we don't have an NPC that isn't busy with a job. Maybe we turn all non-magic customers away because we're working on a "big case"

So, since we're publicly advertised as private investigators do we handle any run of the mill cases in order to keep our cover?

@Polyphemus

@PolyphemusI actually was making a character who has no clue about all of this and handles just those. I'm on the fence though. I feel like they'd just become the butt of jokes and rather pointless in the long run to really even discuss and as such I think they will be a faceless NPC who we won't waste time on.

@jasonwolf

I believe the best course of action is to just have an employee without any discernible magical qualities perform said investigations, like @HeirloomRoses or @Witch Cat. Of course, having supernatural traits wouldn't hurt in such an investigation.

Castaway, but with your OCs! Who's in?

sounds fun

im in

@AdobeFlashnope. Old main street business.

something like this thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/small-town-mai..

@jasonwolf

That blue building is what I was trying to convey, but with an extra story. Sorry for any confusion

While I'm obviously no master I think this gives a solid basic idea of what the exterior might look like.

@jasonwolf

I could make some garbage concept art in Paint or whatever. Looks rad though. I was envisioning a three story house thing, with light blue paint exterior and a modern design, but your design looks rad

I'll work on my CS later today

@Witch Cat Yes I'm fiddling with that. I also have the handyman down, but I won't be giving him any more details to him here. He's meant to be a bit of an odd fellow with little info about him. No major plot points, but he's certainly not an open book.

I was also fiddling with official layouts of the building. I'm no master artist, but Minecraft is fantastic for very basic designing of buildings. I have a basic one thrown together that I think is good for a basic map. I actually once submitted a minecraft build as part of a business project where I had to design the floor plan for a small business.

@jasonwolf

This is all coming together quite nicely. Another slightly less accessible program I could recommend is SketchUp, which is more for architects, but could still help. Also, thank God for Maria because I was running into dead ends on how Atlas could get supplies
