City of Mist

We will be playing City of Mist's Starter pack. This game is a variation on Powered by the Apocalypse, popularized by Dungeon World and Apocalypse World. If you haven't played this kind of game before, fear not, as the rules are easy to explain.

Pregen Characters

SALAMANDER
An all around good guy and serious Heartthrob, Salamander was just a City Water Worker before he started having dreams about a burning lizardlike creature made of a substance which was both fire and water at the same time. He became capable of producing this substance as a Nimbus of Primordial Plasma and, having realized its potential, started his acitivity as an Up-and-Coming Crime Fighter.
EXCALIBUR
Contrary to what many may think, there’s more to Excalibur than just a Rich Old Bitch. True, she was born to a Wealthy and Dysfunctional Family if there ever was one. But as a secret Activist for Social Change, she has her own plans for the City, plans that became possible when she found a silver bracelet which turned out to be the Ultimate Weapon in disguise.
MITOSIS
An Ex-Boxer, Mitosis’ glamorous career and celebrity life came to a grinding halt when he became involved in a Biochemical Accident; driving while intoxicated, he hit a truck carrying vats of biohazardous substances. Mit’s body went into a rampage of Rapid Cell Growth, transforming him into a monster while increasing his Survivability in all conditions.
POST-MORTEM
Post-Mortem doesn’t know who she was before she died. She woke up as a Walking Dead body in an abandoned Helix Labs facility, animated by an unknown force. With the help of special Helix Labs Gadgets found at the lab and her newly (re?)discovered training as an Assassin, she began hunting those who operate in the shadows as the City’s Angel of Vengence.
DECLAN L’ESTRANGE
L’Estrange, a Dubious Antiques Dealer and Gunslinger, has Been Around long enough to know his way through the world. Always searching for the truth behind the veil, he is convinced the ancients knew something. When he finally found the key, an artifact that was later stolen from him, he began Living in a Dream, sensing limitless possibilities that sometimes manifest through him, though he hasn’t quite been able to control it.
FLICKER
All her life, Flicker was engrossed in her Hipster lifestyle and her Mad Hacker Skills: who to be, what music to listen to, how to crack the digital world. It wasn’t until she literally stumbled into a vision of the horrible future of the City, while walking down the street, that she realized she is part of something greater. She doesn’t know where her Expanding Senses and Time-Space Warping abilitites will take her next, but she intends to follow.
KITSUNE
Dressed as something between a high-school student and a Ninja, After A Fashion, Kitsune seems to most people as a teenager going through a phase. That works fine for Kitsune, who is really a Trickster Fox Spirit sent by the gods as a Messenger of Good Fortune to help mankind. There’s only one thing in the mortal world that Kitsune cares about as much as their mission: a boy named Kaito.

FLESHING OUT YOUR PRE-GEN CHARACTER

The pre-generated characters leave a lot of details unexplained. You can add background details to your character as you please, starting with her or his real name. Other open questions such as “What was the artifact L’Estrange found?”, “Who was in the car with Mitosis when he crashed it?” and “What did Flicker see in her life-altering vision?” are up to you and the MC to decide.
