As the Cast Changes

Character rotation is something that the Lost City of Atlanta is no stranger to. Recently, two new Scions have joined the Band: Malic and Aster. Randall left the Band to be with his new husband in Africa, and Kainalu (who never really joined in the first place) left after an intense argument with Johnny.

This seems like a good time to review our former PC's and what's happened to them. For the most part, these PC's became former PC's as the result of their players either having schedule changes that prevented them from playing, or simply disappearing.

Shoptalk: Apotheosis

As far as RAW Scion is concerned, when a Demigod reaches Godhood... a whole lot of nothing changes. They don't reach independence. They don't leave behind their status as the child of another God and step into their own shoes. They keep whatever Associated Powers and Favored Abilities they had as a Hero and a Demigod.

Well, nuts to that. When a Scion reaches Godhood, they are no longer a child. They are a God and they need to stand on their own two feet. The solution? Upon reaching Godhood, a Scion is instantly and forever stripped of all their Favored Abilities and Associated Powers. Only their Pantheon-Specific Purview remains.

Character Spotlight: Andrei

Who Is Andrei?

One of the Grey Wolf's offspring. Andrei looks like a particularly huge Caucasian Shepherd, standing nearly five feet tall at the shoulder and weighing over three hundred pounds. He lived at Abnormal Investigations and spent most of his time sleeping under Emma's desk. Now that Igor is dead and Emma has left the city, he has dropped off the map. He can still be found, but whatever location he calls home is as yet unknown.

Character Spotlight: Artan

Who Is Artan?

Johnny's faithful canine companion! Artan is the grandson of the Grey Wolf. His father, Andrei, was the companion of Igor Ivanov, one of the Bogovi. After Johnny traded his left arm to Andrei in exchange for one of Andrei's magical fangs, the Wolf-Hound decided that it would be funny to see what Johnny would do with one of his pups. Since at that point in the story, Johnny was terrified of anything dog-shaped, it seemed like a good way to get a few laughs. Andrei's gift nearly sent Johnny into fits.

The Misadventures of Johnny Easter

Someone on the Forums was asking about Johnny and how his relationship with Lugh went. Anyone that wants the whole story can read Johnny's journal, but it's long as all hell.

So, I am going to outline what's happened between Johnny and Lugh here. It all started out as a classic case of Jock Dad vs Artistic Son. Johnny wanted to be a musician and Lugh wanted him to be a warrior. Their arguments progressed from disagreement, to yelling, to threats and finally to full-on impalement. Johnny broke his ties with Lugh and opened himself up for a world of hurt in return.

Character Spotlight: Randall Days

Who Is He?

Randall Days is the Scion of Kebauet, one of the youngest Pesedjet around. He's a prophet, a craftsman and he's in a little bit of a sticky situation, socially. 

How Did He Join?

Randall joined the Band just prior to Garreth's trial for Titan Conspiracy. Previously, he was working as a weapon-smith and prophet in Dublin; that's where he ran into (and slept with) Johnny Easter. Johnny urged Randall to join the Band and relocate to Atlanta.
