Urban Jungle Girl

Lady Cynthia Hart was born to a family of British nobility. Her parents were on a diplomatic mission to Orphicten when the bombs fell. Suddenly marooned in the urban jungle, they made their mark amongst the street gangs of Orphicten. For the first fifteen years after the wars’ end, the fought tooth-and-pistol before being killed by savage native criminals. Their infant daughter was left abandoned.

Marv Smalltown

Barry and Mary Smalltown moved to Orphicten during the war to take advantage of the city’s booming war industry. After the war they wanted children, but found themselves unable to conceive; so some years later they adopted an infant orphan named Marvin. But the world had moved on and Orphicten was rusting. Like most people employed by the war industry, Barry and Mary hadn’t earned enough to save and couldn’t move on. But Barry was struggling to find work. While they were raising Marvin to believe in right and wrong, Barry was doing odd-jobs for the Mikos Family. Marven was ten when he found out, and never took money from his father again, instead getting whatever odd jobs he could. Arguments were frequent between Marvin and Barry in those days. In his mid teens one particularly savage argument resulted in Marvin striking his father in front of some colleagues. His father was knocked unconscious in an instant. When his father’s colleagues stepped in Marvin beat them all. More came later, and left after Marvin threw a car at them. Marvin had left the Smalltown home by the time Barry had returned from the hospital; setting out to clean up Orphicten. Now in his late twenties, Marvin Smalltown has been living on the street for nearly a decade. He’s tried and is still trying to clean up Orphicten. But the criminal is clever and Marvin is ever-idealistic. They’ve drawn him into their web and learnt to work around him. He takes out individuals, even the big bosses. But every one he misses scales up the ranks. One day Marvin Smalltown may clean up Orphicten, but that day is decades off.

Arcane Armoury

Jonathan Gale Jr. is the son of one of the worlds’ mightiest mage’s. While Jonathan senior holds a seat on the Council of the All-Seeing Order, John Jr. displayed no magical ability whatsoever in his youth. In fact, John has always displayed an inability to practice or be affected by arcane energies of all kind. Described by his father as a magical ‘black hole’, John was the reason his mother- an arcane partitioner herself –left John senior when their son was an infant. Moreover, John has been regarded by his father’s colleagues as an aberration at best, a monster at worst. Still, John has studied long and hard to work even the simplest spells. But while weak, John was clever and over many long months he weaved minor spells after spell together, creating a suit of arcane armour. From the armour, John could pluck any combination of the hundreds of spells weaved into it, essentially channelling them into a solid conjured item. While the other mystics have yet to stop treating John with scorn, they have come to treat his with the respect an equal deserves.
