Plans within Plans

Prologue Part 1: Ten Years Ago

• The governess reads a story of Venira's history to the children, but some of the children are missing - where did they go?
• Figure out where each of the PCs went to, spend some time with them
• They gather back at the orphanage late, the governess waiting for them with a sigh, but indulges them
• Khrys would be 8, Rita would be 15
• Aura would be 9, Rawkin would be 11

Prologue Part 2: The Present

• The PCs visit the town (I still need a name) intending to meet back up - did they make a plan for this?
• That night the orphanage is set ablaze by The Assassin and her cronies
• Wild beasts in the streets interfere with the group reaching the orphanage in time

Unsorted Notes

NPCs to Make:

• The Governess Venicia (the woman who ran the orphanage that was so formative for most of the group)
• The Caretaker Janine (the governess' assistant at the orphanage)
  • Janine Hart is one of the two caretakers in the orphanage, known more for spoiling the little children under her care, growing way too attached to them. She was offered the spot of governess in the orphanage, but refused it in fear it'd stop her from keeping a close eye on the children. Some say she had a husband before becoming a caretaker, but after three miscarriages right after the other, it seemed she was "cursed" without bearing a single child. Perhaps that's why she became a caretaker.
  • Janine tried to help Rita as the children she grew up with were adopted, but not her. After Rita turned sixteen, she was due to leave, but Janine employed her for two more years as a helper, before Rita themselves decided to leave the orphanage to seek her true objective... or perhaps because she was ashamed?
• The Captain Shane (head of the King's Guard)
• The King Klair (what it says on the tin)

Villains:

• The Conqueror (ruler of an empire beyond the western ocean who wishes to capture the secrets of alchemy)
• The Mole (a member of the royal house working with the Empire)
• The Seer (a person with future sight who works for the Mole)
• The Assassin Celeste/Cara (another orphan who was taken in by The Mole who burns down the orphanage because The Seer saw them threatening their plans)
• The King of Beasts (a highly-intelligent monster controlling or leading many monsters)
• The Mad Scientist (a figure at the Secret Magical Lab who worked on Rita)

— Rita is an experiment on creating human life from an alchemical monster
— So she's technically half monster
— Also why she's able to copy them and speak to them

Eire
— O.O oh.

aleSheepie
— Yeah that's what hybrid means ;)
— As usual, I'm thinking it could be important for her, so I keep it from Vex

Eire
— Hmm, okay
— You're alright not having a Quirk to represent this? I mean, the class you picked (and another one from Techno Fantasy) can represent it just fine, but I want to be sure you're okay with this.

aleSheepie
— Yeah! I'm good
— We can say she learnt how to talk to monsters/animals in her time growing up
