Weapons & Possessions:Cheap Shortsword, $160, 2#, cut 1, impale 1-2. Conversions:Modern:Cyndra's a young folk-singer, out doing the Ren-Fest thing. If there is magic, she's got her spells (though probably not as many - lose the less-useful ones and put the points in the others, to get rid of low-mana penalties); if psionics, then she'd have Aspect (Single-Skill, limitation "Only While Performing"); if neither, then give her Voice and dump points from those spells into HT and bard-type skills. Literacy is no longer an advantage. Near Future and Space:Cyndra Wayfarer is an up and coming rock-star, probably with a Silver Tongue implant (and maybe Voice as well, if there's no magic or psi). Upgrade those instruments and other skills. Literacy is no longer an advantage (and coincidentially, 10 points - take Voice). Cyndra's one of my early "One College Mages" - a series of experiments I did to see what I could do with the assumption of One College Magery 3, and various species. I never got to play her (I think now I'd drop her ST a point and add Charisma +2, and/or Voice). She's probably good as a nosy bard, an NPC to round out a group, or just local color - she uses the Voices spell as an instrument, meaning she can produce pretty complicated stuff by herself. ("You hear three flutes, a violin, and a harp. But when you look around, there's only one bard there, just standing by the fireplace with her eyes closed . . . ") She's also got a lot of spells that would be good for a mage-thief - she's not, but if the PCs find out about them, and find out something was stolen, they'll probably leap to conclusions. Rylithan, from the elvish diplomatic delegation, could be used as as a relative (Dad, a grandparent, a cousin, or a half-sibling) - perhaps the pair are fighting off bandits when the PCs come along. There's no intended relation to Evan Wanderfoot, the merchant / spy, though you could make them cousins or half-sibs (on the human side) or something. Typical Quotes:"Come on, mother - I can take care of myself!" "I heard that song once. Let's see, how did that go . . . <casts Voices spell>" "Yes, I'm half-elf. Will you little green guys just go away!" (Back to list of Fantasy Characters)
