Aylo Stormlord

Our Potent Hero is Aylo Stormlord. We will follow his adventures through the many worlds, kingdoms, and rivals he encounters. Lets start this is true journal of the dice fashion, to discover the parameters for Aylo:

Is he aware of Potent Society? Yes, but...
Are one or more of his parents Potents? Yes, and ... They're still alive.
Are both parent Potents? Yes. wow.
Did they raise him? Yes, but ... other folks raised him as well

So far he appears to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Lets stir this pot -- he can't have everything handed to him on a silver platter, or we'll have no action:

Are his parents in trouble? Yes.
Does the trouble after his parents know about him?  No, but... others are seizing this chance
Is the trouble after his parents a single Potent? No, but... Its an alliance of potents then.
Are these potents long associates of his parents? No... they're a new group then.
Do these potents follow an 'evil' theme? Yes, and...
Is this a nest of demon lord potents? No, but demons are involved
Is the theme that of death/undeath? No, but they are involved
Is the theme that of monstrousities or corruption? Yes
Lets link him to 2d6-2 worlds:  9-2=7

He starts out on the first one -- which is to say his parents start out there, and its the point where all of the trouble starts...

Lets build his power set. His title is 'stormlord' -- his 200 area points almost certainly go to controlling the weather. For his personal points, I want a combination blaster and summoner.

Flight (storm lord -10%) [36]
Enhanced Move (flight) 2 [40]
Lightning Bolt: 5d  burning (increased 1/2 D x10 +15%, max range x5 +10%  acc +3 +15%, Surge +20%, Ignores metal armor +150%, Side effect (stuns) +50%, electricty -10%, stormlord -10%) [25*3.6 * .8] = [72]
Wind Storm : 3d crushing (double knockback +20%, overhead +30%, Persistent +40%, five minutes +60%,  32 yard radius  + 250%, selective area +20%, wind attack -5%, stormlord -10%, no wounding -50%) [15*5.2*.425] = [34/5=7]
Wind Wall : As storm, but with Wall [37/5=8]
Fog: Obscure 10 (32 yards +200% penalties are gradual: -1/yard -40%, stormlord -10%) [30]
Storm Shield: 3d Crushing (Aura +80%, Double Knockback +20%, Melee Attack (c-3) +0%, No wounding -50%, stormlord -10%) [15*2*.4]=[12]
Lightning Strike: As lightning blot, convert max range and accuracy bonus to overhead [72/5=15]
Arcing Lightening: 3d  burning (Area effect 16 yards +200%, Surge +20%, Ignores metal armor +150%, Side effect (stuns) +50%, selective area +20%,  emanation -20%,  electricty -10%, stormlord -10%) [15*5.4 * .6] = [49/5=10]
Detect (Weather, long range) [23]
Mind Control (Super natural Beings) [50]
Modular abilities 25 (Only Conjured Elemental Allies -60%) [100]
Five Allies (Conjured+100%, Minion +50%, 100% of total, always show up x4)  [100]

Allies typically come from the DF book, and Aylo uses both air and water elementals, though he favors air on most occasions. He's somewhat fragile, but can pull out solid front line fighters, stays out of reach of most melee combatants, and non-mystical ranged attacks get redirected by wind.

Lets do his weather control now:

Obscure 2 (area effect 8 miles +20%, general weather bonuses, onset 10 minutes -25%, Power modifier -10%) [100*1.2*.65 =78]
 Obscure 8 (area effect 8 miles +20%, general terrain bonuses, onset 10 minutes -25%, Power modifier -10%) [100*1.2*.65 =78]

Lets leave the other points unspent. He looks pretty good, as far as his main powers go. Of course, Aylo is not just bundle of magical power. He's also a person. One who grew up in the courts of kings and in the shadow of power, but a person none the less. But before we grow that person, lets see what his parents and the world he grew up in is like.

Life and Transformation Wards and Curses / Illusions

Transformation and Technology Blaster / Wards and Curses

Is the first one his mother? Yes

Mother: Military,  Fragile, Unkempt Clothes, Softly Spoken, Very limited social circle, Hope/Fear:Family

Father: Agriculture, Fragile, Tasteful Clothes, Head cocked sideways, Has strong feeling about political/religious authorities, Hope/Fear:Money

They both have transformation  with wards and curses -- you'd have think their child would have inherited something along those lines... His mother leans towards life magic and illusion though, while the father leans towards technology and blasting. Gilrun Stonemaker has a transmutation power set, focused on metal, wood, stone, and other hard, worked substances.  Elsena goodwitch focuses on wards more, setting up long term effects that transform living creatures or trap the nonliving. She is a master of disguise and misdirection.

Lets flesh out this world he grew up on a little more.
Goblins.

Spells: Coolness, Walk on Air
Humanoid Glow Fish
Theme: Underworld
Relevant Terrain

So we have TL 0 goblins whose mages can ride the winds and control the weather, and Fish People at TL 4. And deep sea fish people with ugly fangs. Presumably they use the deep sea vents to fashion their gear. This sounds like a good place to raise a budding Stormlord. In fact, he probably has a goblin teacher.

Hir-brit: Foreign, Eating, Limp, stoop, or hunch, Cruel Face, Dull and Expressionless, More moral than they appear, Hope/Fear:Politics

Interesting. Our goblin is a crippled political exile with a staunch moral standing. That's very wise old master. It is to his experienced care that Aylo is entrusted when necessary. We'll make Hir-brit a 187 point ally.  As a character without powers, Aylo is 246 points, with 4 unspent -- but I suspect things will come up.

And that's Aylo the person. He doesn't have much in the way of possessions, but then again, he doesn't need much, does he? This is a session 0 of sorts, and I look forward to seeing what happens to Aylo storm lord.

UPDATE: 1 point is spent on intimidate. He has (3) points in reserve
