Notes
Below are the notes set on Vic.
Avatar
Vic's Avatar is usually a silent partner, almost acting like a Technarc's Genius rather than an Avatar in the normal sense of the term for a mage, often limiting his interactions with her to guidance that comes in the form of unvoiced impulses and instructing urges. When her Avatar, who asked her to refer to him as Wordsworth during her awakening, speaks to her he sounds like Tim Curry doing the Outer Limits Control Voice and on his infrequent visual appearances he looks like Tim Curry as Wadsworth from the 1985 movie "Clue".
Although Vic is unaware of this fact at this time, Wordsworth is, in actuality, an avatar (in the sense of a manifestation of a god) of Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge, magic, science and writing.
Compulsion
Vic is compelled, either due to her own personality or pressure from her Avatar (above), to never turn down an opportunity to learn something new, no matter the cost. This compulsion is purely psychological in nature allowing Vic to attempt to resist it with a Willpower check at a difficulty of 7 (6 + the point value of the Flaw).
Cybernetics
Vic, coming from an alternate Earth with cybernetic technologies commonly available and accepted as part of the consensus, has two cybernetic implants: ocular enhancements and a timekeeping implant. These are represented on the sheet as two merits and a background trait which are identified below along with the description of how they work/are represented ICly.
- Ocular Enhancements: While Vic still possesses her natural eyes, nanotech circuitry has been grown within them which augment her visual acuity in a number of ways. Firstly, they provide her extremely sharp vision (reducing the difficulties for all vision rolls by two-points). Secondly, this technomagical augmentation allows her to shift her senses to see in low-light conditions by drawing in more light or in total darkness via thermographics (this latter also can be used in any way thermographic scans can be); due to the first effect her eyes will occasionally shine like a cat's in certain lighting situations while the second effect causes them to faintly glow red (similar to the Level 1 Protean discipline ability "Eyes of the Beast."
- This is represented on the sheet by the Acute Vision (1) merit and Blessings (2) background traits.
- Timekeeping Implant: This neurocybernetic chip grants Vic the effects of the Perfect Time rote.
- This is represented on the sheet by the Time Sense (1) merit.
Echoes
Vic's shadow often flickers like electronic "snow" (visual noise on a untuned television; this effect can occur randomly but is triggered by extreme emotions also. It occurs more frequently if she has recently used magic of any sort.
Foci
Vic's standard foci consist of the following:
- Electronic Devices: Computers, PDAs, calculators, smartphones and other smart devices are standard foci for Vic's magic.
- Language: Word choice, word puzzles, etc. whether spoken or written, Vic can use words to shape magical effects.
- Mathematics: Mathematical formulas can help Vic focus her mind and prepare for the channeling of magical energies.
- Music: Listening to, playing (no matter that she's not really good at it) or dancing to it, Vic can use music as a focus for her magic.
- Programming: Whether written on paper or electronically, Vic can use the preparation of a program to guide or supplement the effects she intends to enact.
- Resource Books: Sure, online resources are Vic's preference but information is golden and dead tree format is sometimes the best. The physicality of a book is very helpful with magic meant to affect something that is itself physical with a magical effect.
- Video Games: Playing a video game can be a form of meditation or an actual magical focus for Vic.
Vic's Personal Foci for the Spheres she knows are the following:
- Internet Ready Devices: Vic is best at the Data (or Correspondence) Sphere with internet-connected computers or any sort of smart device.
- Medical or Scientific Analytic Devices: In order to use her Life and Matter spheres, Vic needs access to any of a variety of devices used to analyze the world (such as those seen here). (Also, when and if she learns Force this type of personal foci will apply to that sphere also.)
- Music: Vic's use of the Prime Sphere is best when she can hear music (can be done by singing or humming even as long as what she is doing doesn't otherwise require her voice).
- Random Number Generators: To get the most out of the Entropy Sphere, Vic must employ some sort of random number generation. This can be as simple as flipping a coin to as "complicated" as running a custom made RNG application on a computer or smart device.
Paradigm
Vic sees magic as the cheat code to the universe. Everything is information and information can be manipulated by those with the know-how. As such, magical effects begin with understanding, they progress though planning and formulation, then they conclude with a well-executed action or set of actions; basically like programming a computer to take a specific set of actions.
SmartDevices
When Vic arrived in this world she had her laptop and smartphone with her. Both are Tandy-brand devices with extensive, after-market modifications built into them by their owner. They perform as well as any modern, stat-of-the-art equivalent and have modular ports allowing her to connect them to various other electronics as well as being fully capable of wireless charging.
