Once upon a time...

Are you a fan of Fencing? Flamenco? Spoken word? In need of a mysterious man in black to save the day? Do you enjoy whimsy with an edge? If so, then Ferdinand is the man for you! He can sometimes be found at the Sideshow playing his guitar, or performing spoken word, but ONLY EVER on evenings of the new moon. He's also rumored to teach swordplay to select students at a small studio in Chinatown called 'Toque', above and behind Shen's Grocery.


the Dreaming

Ferdinand is clearly Kinain of Eshu blood, and claims to be the sole son of el Mouro Encantado, the chief metallurgist, armorer and swordmaker to the Last Garrison at the Arcadian Gates under Lord Lysander, a true knight of the Sidhe in the faraway realm of Hy-Brasil, a land that bears strong resemblance to the tales of Arcadia, the mythical home of the Fae. The feral youth claims the title of the Eminence of Blades, known to all and sundry as also the Prince of Orphans, (current) Captain of the Perilous, (current) Lord Host at the Inn of the Crescent Moon, Champion (currently in exile) of the Last Garrison at the Arcadian Gates, (former) page to the Most Sagacious Library of the Archmasters at the Fors Collegis Mercuris on Mus before its fall and sack, sidekick (retired) to the Exalted Guardian of the Akashic Record known as the Fiery Fist of the Phoenix, etc, etc, etc. Those Ffolk that have come to know him sometimes refer to him simply as "The Moonmaus".


the Confederates of the Crescent Moon

Like Alan Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" or Warren Ellis' "Stormwatch" this loose grouping of supernatural individuals has existed throughout the ages, dedicated to the sole purpose of defending the Earth from otherworldly dangers - it has generally included representatives from the Earth, the Dreaming, the Umbra, and the Shadowlands. When the impossible is everywhere and the very fabric of reality is threatened by insanity, the Confederates rise to the occasion! Want to join up? We may have a position for you!


the Perilous

Captain's Log, Umbradate: 2517.0 ... These are the voyages of the freebooter umbraship the Perilous. Staffed by a small as hoc crew of intrepid umbra delving stalwarts depending on the situation, the Perilous strikes opportunistically at the unchecked forces of the Wyrm and the Weaver alike, generating mad renown and turning a tidy shared profit for the crew in the process. Want to see the Deepest Farthest Wyrdest Wyldest Wyrmiest Weaveriest parts of the Umbra and/or Dreaming? Enlist today!


Tradition Mages

Are you part of the Akashic Brotherhood? Ferdinand was fostered and mentored by a one Orson Wendol (Mage Notoriety flaw), who is widely thought to have gone Marauder! Are you a member of the Order of Hermes? Ferdinand carries a letter of passage bearing the seal of the Fors Collegis Mercuris. Where did he get it? How did he get it? Something about him serving as a page there, right up until its fall and evacuation from Technocratic forces...
