Distinctions/Traits

d8 Bloodless Physiology Heritage: You have replaced your body’s natural functions with alchemical substitutes, various elixirs, serums, and distillates that circulate in place of blood. You are pallid, light-sensitive, yet strangely radiant. The rumors say you are a vampire… perhaps not entirely false. Roll this Heritage when your altered physiology helps you resist disease, survive blood loss, or endure poisons and toxins, or when your unnerving appearance commands awe or dread.
Connected Abilities: Regeneration, Immunity, Super Speed, Super Senses, Night Vision
Limit: Sunlight Sensitivity, Serum Dependency.

• d4: Earn a Plot Point when your alchemical condition draws unwanted suspicion or fear, OR when you choose to worsen your Exhausted or Injured Stress due to exposure to sunlight or heat.
• d8: Spend a Plot Point to gain a d8 Useful Detail such as “can see in the dark” or “moves silently under moonlight,” OR to Recover your Injured Stress by drawing upon the strange alchemy flowing in your veins.

d8 Mad Scientist: Your mind is a lightning storm of invention, obsession, and dangerous brilliance. You see possibilities where others see only wreckage, and your experiments push the boundaries of science, morality, and sanity. Roll the Distinction’s die when your bizarre contraptions, reckless theories, or scientific fervor give you an edge, or get you into trouble.

• d4: Earn a Plot Point when your obsession with an experiment causes chaos or distraction at the worst possible time.
• d8: Spend a Plot Point to Reveal that you happen to have a strange device, concoction, or half-finished invention on you or nearby that provides a d8 Useful Detail in the scene.

Abilities

d6 Alchemical Elixirs & Tonics: You’ve mastered the volatile art of brewing shimmering elixirs and tonics that push the boundaries of flesh, spirit, and reason. Each vial you carry is a gamble of science, a measured dose of brilliance and madness. Whether distilled in your hidden laboratory or hastily mixed in the field, your concoctions can sharpen reflexes, numb pain, heighten senses, or fortify the mind. Roll this Ability’s die when your physical tonics or restorative concoctions would give you an advantage. Examples include injecting yourself with an elixir to shrug off fatigue, using a stimulant to perform rapid manual work, concocting a tonic to resist poison or cold, or drinking a clarity draught to steady your nerves before danger.

With focus, you can even plant a subtle idea, a whisper woven into melody that lingers long after the last chord fades. 
Effect: Influence
Descriptors: musical, emotional, resonance, otherworldly, hypnotic
Limits: Performance (requires an instrument and the act of playing), Feedback (prolonged use inflicts Exhausted or Insecure Stress as the resonance feeds back into you)

d4 Alchemascope: A brass-and-glass contraption of swiveling lenses, prism filters, and softly glowing alchemical vials, the Alchemascope transforms perception into science.

Every turn of its dials hums with potential discovery, but its lenses are fragile, and its chemical filters must be carefully recharged between uses. Roll this Ability’s die when analyzing materials, identifying compounds or toxins, discerning hidden mechanical flaws, or detecting the residue of alchemical processes.

• d4 Ramona Hart "..."
• d4 Willis Sloan "..."

Distinctions

d8 Disciple of the Scarlet Path: You follow the forbidden teachings of esoteric masters, alchemy of the body, sorcery of the flesh. Desire is your medium, ecstasy your fuel. In ritual or passion, you channel occult forces through the mingling of breath, touch, and will. But indulgence is a dangerous path: every spell leaves you hungrier, every ritual risks binding you as much as your target.

• d4: Earn a Plot Point when your pursuit of pleasure, ritual, or lustful energy complicates the scene, whether it’s unwanted attention, suspicion, or your own craving clouding your judgment.
• d8: Spend 1 PP to Step Up a die when casting a spell fueled by intimacy, temptation, or seduction. If you fail, Step Up your Stress. (Ecstatic Power)

• d8: Spend a Plot Point to Reveal a detail from your “worldly experience” that impresses or tempts.

d6 Heritage Distinction: Esoteric Sex Magician: You draw your power from desire itself... lust, devotion, and the charged spaces where the body meets the spirit. Whether a disciple of forbidden texts, a practitioner of occult tantra, or a devotee of Crowley’s new Aeon, your very heritage is steeped in sex magic. This power is potent but perilous: as intoxicating to you as it is to those who cross your path.
Connected Abilities: Illusion, Persuasion, Hypnosis, Precognition, Healing (through intimacy)
Limits: Abstinence: If you are denied intimacy, desire, or indulgence for too long, your Abilities are Shutdown until you indulge again; Sanctified Wards: Your Abilities can be Shutdown in the presence of wards, relics, or holy symbols that suppress lust or bind desire.

NPC List

Aldert Helsink

• Current heir to the Helsink noble clan. A large man in peak physical condition, only a little older than Alicia. He doesn't take 'no' lightly and tends to get his way one way or another. Of decent intelligence. Courageous, albeit with some hesitation when it comes to monsters. He was raised to believe the von Vulfs as monsters. Taught skills to bring low the last 'Vampire' of the east. He has people at his disposal. While he seeks justice for the death of his grandfather and the debilitating injuries of his father, he is an honorable man who keeps his word, and not as evil as those who raised him. It is unknown what he might do if he actually managed to locate Alicia, although she has no intention of finding out.
• Alicia von Vulf - I worry he might hurt me
• Ever since he found the hole in the wall, he can't stop peeking into Gearhart Repairs
• If he or his men are going to visit they can probably be found at the Golden Stag.

Kirsa Autenrieth

• A hard-nosed German aristocrat from an old house, current operator of the Autenreith Talent Agency, and... cultist. She bought Kojo's contract years ago after an incident at one of his concerts and has acted as his manager and aid since then. She ensures he still has shows to play while vehemently refusing to release him out of "a great respect" effectively making sure he is stuck under her employ no matter what he does. She happily plays the part of a dutiful, well connected, and well meaning sponsor while furthering the cults own ends.
• Kojo - I don't understand her but I'll accept her help for now while I'm stuck with her.
• Kirsa is manipulating the supply of goods to the laboratory in return for special concoctions.
• Alicia wants to unravel Kirsa's familial ties.

Jane Montgomery

• Daughter of Automaton Heiress, Adelaide Montgomery, Jane lives a privileged life. However, her controlling mother and the expectations of high society have left her anxious and adrift in a sea of contending voices. Private aura readings and spiritual healing sessions with Missy have given her a place to vent her fears.
• Missy - Jane drinks my lies like wine
• Listening from her family's reserved box at the Thane-Cash Rebirth Hall restores her anxious heart.
• Dreams of meeting and perhaps spending the night with Kojo
• is besotted with Edmund Blackwood

Willis Sloan

• Willis Sloan is as close to an outlaw as you can get while still balancing on the right side of legality. He owns and operates a trading post in (town name), but is involved in shady dealings and has his fingers in a whole bunch of the town's business interests, from mining to the local whore-house. Millie was forced to borrow money from Willis a few months back, and the interest is piling up. Of course, she could pay him back in a heartbeat if she were still at home, or with the help of her family, but fuck that. And as months tick by, so too does his patience tick down.
• Millie - Slimy, hard-edged, and dangerous. He's got me and half the town at his mercy, not at the barrel of a gun, but the signing of a contract... not that he's opposed to shooting if he has to.
• Scheming against Edmund Blackwood to make a real name for himself
• Willis has money invested in The Golden Stag

TIAL-V

• (short for Ti-6Al-4V), this automaton serves as Edmund's butler, servant, and confidant. TIAL-V is a state-of-the-art construct, crafted from a durable titanium alloy, making it both strong and resilient. Its advanced programming allows it to perform a wide range of tasks, from serving tea to providing strategic advice. TIAL-V is equipped with a variety of tools and gadgets, to ,make sure even in the harshness of the West Edmund can enjoy the lavish lifestyle he has grown accustomed to. Despite its mechanical nature, TIAL-V has developed a unique personality, often displaying a dry wit and a penchant for sarcasm, which Edmund finds both amusing and endearing.
• Edmund - My trusted servant
• Has developed an obsession with Alicia

Jack Bennett

• A mortician in training who is also capable of acquiring difficult to obtain items, Jack grew up on the east coast and moved west with his father to setup the family funeral parlor.
• Average sized and thin but slightly athletic, with unkempt, dirty blonde hair hazel eyes and a perpetual five o'clock shadow. Jack is intelligent, clever, and out for himself, but he does keep his word and is willing to put himself at risk for those considered allies, if not friends.
• Alicia has considered taking him on as an apprentice.
• Jack has a crush on Ramona.
• Ramona thinks that there's something "off" about Jack.

Mr. Kay (aka Kyle Cruze)

• The local pharmacist, also Ramona's own personal "Q" who supplies her with gadgets and is her main contact with her agency through whom she receives her orders/quests. The agency is focused on investigating the flow of "silver" in the town, and the alleged new element discovered in the silver mines. They want to know what is going on, and want a cut of the profits if they are there to be had.
• Ramona trusts Mr. Kay, for now
• Mr. Kay is watching The Golden Stag for the agency
• Mr. Kay's sister is Red Jenny, though he has no idea why she's in town
• Mr. Kays has read some of Alicia's research.

Red Jenny

• The Scarlet Lady, The Veiled Ghost, Red Jenny... Some say she was a prospector, murdered for her claim after showing off a bit of the shine she'd found in the saloon one night. Others say she was a working girl, beaten and strangled in her bed by a drunken customer. The immigrant rail-workers claim she's a fox spirit, a vengeful specter who was never human at all, here to claim the souls of prideful men. No matter which version you hear, her description is the same: a woman in a ragged dress wearing a veil that clings to her hidden face by its wet, red stains. They say if you walk the streets at night and hear her humming behind you, close your eyes and pray, but do not look back—there's no fighting the devil. And when a phantom comes to claim the sinful, the arrogant, the greedy, and the violent... who is safe in a city like this?
• Missy invented 'Red Jenny' for her show, thinking the homespun legend would make for a compelling bit of fun. The chemically treated candles would flare and her voice would quaver as she pretended to speak for the vengeful specter. It became decidedly less fun when actual victims began to appear in the streets, and the frightened working folk turned to Missy for answers.
• Missy feels she has to get control of Red Jenny.
• Mr. Kay is Red Jenny's brother.
• Red Jenny is obsessed with Kojo, but whether as a potential flame or a new victim remains to be seen.
• She has been in Edmund Blackwood's bed.

Joshua Thane

• Heir-apparent to the Thane family, a former soldier and current (corrupt) Lawman. He is a cruel man who puts on the facade of a kind man. As part of a formerly slave-owning family, he was raised to see others as lesser, fought to uphold that, and avoided punishment because of a favor. He became a lawman after the war and continues his violent ways. He is known for being overzealous in his duties and often demands gratuity, especially from the women he helps. Rumor has it he's in good with plenty of criminals. He's not someone you want to run into.
• Kojo despises Joshua
• Is superstitiously suspicious of the rumors about Alicia.

 

Adelaide Montgomery

• Automaton Heiress, rich and eccentric, she eagerly drinks in spiritualism that validates how special she is. Believes she was Cleopatra in a past life.

Clayton Cash

• 1/3 owner of the Thane-Cash Rebirth Hall.

Otis "Sparks" Tully

• lives on the other side of the railway in a small shack where he manages the telegrams in and out of town.
• In his 70s, he loves telling old stories
• Has a soft spot for Millie as 'You remind me of my Granddaughter.' He's sharp, kindly, and keeps an eye on the telegrams to lawmen in town just in case any mention of Millie comes in from the city. Not that he knows why she's asked him to keep that eye out.

'Judge' Holland Buck

• A former scout for the US Cavalry, Holland took up as a lawman in one of the territories after the war. Rumor has it that it was his gambling debts that were his undoing. Others say it was a woman as wild and dangerous as the West itself that made the lawman give up his silver star. Either way, for three years, the hard-fighting and fearless gambler has lived bounty to bounty under the tried and true words "Have gun. Will travel."
• What Holland and Missy did in that Texas jail cell was decidedly unprofessional for a sheriff and an (alleged) horse thief. What they did in the back of the monsignor's private train car was even more so—and not simply because Missy's escape plan included being disguised as a nun at the time. But now that Missy has dressed herself in the fragile trappings of respectability, the return of the rough gunman has drawn old feelings to the surface: the fear of losing all that she's built... and the temptation to burn it all down.

  • a hopeful proprietor named Clayton Cash
  • a secretive third party
• The Montgomery Family has a reserved box. Jane listens from there to restore her anxious heart.

The Lincoln Palace Hotel - While 'luxury' stretches the meaning of the word, the upscale hotel gives a place for more well-heeled travelers to stay in the rapidly growing town.

The Golden Stag Casino & Saloon - a lavish establishment that caters to the town's elite and those seeking a night of pleasure and fortune, the casino is a hub of activity, where high-stakes poker games and seductive performances draw in a diverse crowd. The main gaming floor features a variety of tables, including poker, blackjack, and roulette, where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye. Adjacent to the gaming floor is the saloon, a more relaxed area where patrons can enjoy a drink, a meal, or a performance by local musicians. Upstairs, the establishment transforms into a brothel, where beautiful and alluring women, ply their trade. These women are not just employees but often confidantes and allies to Edmund, providing him with valuable information and companionship. The basement of The Golden Stag is a secret area, known only to a select few. Here, Edmund conducts his occult rituals. The basement is decorated with arcane symbols and contains a hidden library of forbidden tomes, that Edmund often consults.

• Millie is in debt to The Exchange.
• Whoever runs The Exchange is investigating Edmund's investments.
• Whatever Alicia is doing, the operators of The Exchange think it's bad for their business.

Alicia's Laboratory - contained within the northern tower of Alicia's new home, what was once a simple observatory has become so much more.

• Alicia uses this as her main space for inventing new elixirs and tonics.

Distinctions

d10 Honeypot: You know how to make people want you and how to turn that desire into opportunity. Whether through calculated charm, feigned affection, or dangerous intimacy, you lure others into vulnerability and extract what you need: secrets, access, or obedience. You can fake love, but the danger lies in sometimes feeling it for real. Roll this Distinction’s die when romantic, sexual, or emotional manipulation could give you an advantage.

• d4: Earn a Plot Point when your false relationship becomes emotionally complicated for you OR when someone discovers your deception and turns your tactics against you.
• d8: Spend a Plot Point to Reveal (or begin without resistance) a romantic or sexual connection (past or present) with an NPC, granting you temporary leverage or access.

Abilities

d6 Pherosol: A marvel of alchemical couture and steam-age ingenuity, the Pherosol is a custom-crafted parasol whose articulated frame conceals a dozen miracles of chemistry and clockwork. Its owner can waft moods through perfume-grade pheromones, fend off gunfire with layered alchemical silk, float from rooftops like a sky-born debutante, and perform mechanical marvels from lockpicking to field surgery, all with one graceful motion of the wrist. It’s equal parts weapon, shield, and symbol of impossible poise. The Pherosol represents a fusion of multiple Abilities into a single Gear item, combining Pherotech (diffused chemical manipulation of emotions), Shield (defensive barrier), and Flight (steam-assisted gliding). Each mode can be used independently, but all share the same intricate housing and the same weakness: damage or malfunction to the parasol can compromise them all.
Effect: Control (with added Abilities, also Attack, Sensory, Movement, Defense, Enhancement.)
Descriptors: multitool, lockpick, grappling hook, welding, torch, chemical, scent, alchemy, manipulation.
Limits: Gear, Supply.
Special Effects: Spend a Plot Point to...

• Reveal a previously unseen function of the Multitool appropriate to the situation (e.g., “Extendable Mirror Lens,” “Telescopic Armature,” “Micro-Welder,” or “Steam Torch”). (Adaptive Mechanism)

d8 Pherotech: Through a blend of alchemy, bio-mechanical glands, and/or chemistry, you can exude a subtle haze of engineered pheromones that tweak emotions and instincts. Whether through perfume atomizers, implanted diffusers, or cleverly disguised gadgets, your presence can shift a room’s mood from dread to desire, from unease to trust. The effect is invisible, almost imperceptible… until it’s far too late. You may roll Pherotech to sway emotions, charm, or manipulate others through scent and chemical suggestion. The effect can’t work on targets without biological olfactory response (automatons, corpses, spirits). Masks, filters, or strong wind can negate it.
Effect: Influence. 
Descriptors: chemical, scent, alchemy, manipulation.
Limits: Gear, Supply.
Special Effects: Spend a Plot Point to...

• Flood a scene with tailored pheromones to shift mood or influence behavior, calming rage, sparking desire, inspiring trust, or inciting panic, as a sweep effect.
• Inflict d8 Aroused stress on a single target.

d4 Flight: You can break the pull of gravity without an aircraft and soar through the skies. You may use wings, gusts of wind, or anti-gravity, or just have the superpower to defy humanity’s evolutionary misfortune of being a land-bound mammal. Roll this Ability’s die when performing evasive maneuvers in mid-flight, chasing down another flying opponent, or getting a bird’s eye view of a situation.
Effect: Movement
Descriptors: Gliding, Levitation
Limits: Gear
Special Effects: Spend a Plot Point to…

• Glide safely from any fall, no matter the height.
