ROCK 0: Character Creation

Character Creation is the first episode of Eidolon ROCK, and the second episode of Eidolon Playtest Season 1. It covers the cast of Eidolon ROCK finalizing the details of their characters and preparing for the campaign ahead.

Summary
Luke Varner introduces the cast of this campaign: Molly Rhinebeck, Lexi Waltner, Iris Christianson, and Maxie Knightley. Maxie Knightley immediately makes a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. They will be covering the four Playbooks that went unused during POP #0: Character Creation.

All of the player characters are members of a gang that works in a casino, and do not start with their Eidolons. Alta Drive Jawbreakers

Molly Rhinebeck
Name is Virginia Valentine. She is a former card dealer at a casino, but was caught tipping the odds in favour of the player instead of the House. She is the Wildcard, her Eidolon is constantly changing. Its name is Only The Good Die Young. The Wildcard is a complicated playbook, it may turn out a bad idea. It shifts through all the other Playbooks. Her greatest fear is her old casino/boss catching up with her, as she left in a hurry. OTGDY's look is ever changing, but default is a stained-glass shadow.

Maxie Knightley
Harvey D. Godlove, the Pinball Prince of Las Vegas. The D stands for Danger. Playbook is Virtuoso. Eidolon is Here It Goes Again, a real physical pinball that launch it with incredible speed and precision using only my bare hands. His greatest fear is ending up a loser. His father-figure Jack Stern invited him in when he needed some cash. A leather jacket with a pinball machine on the back, and no shirt underneath.

Iris Christianson
Chris Masters, college kid who wants to be a punk but is still kind of a normie. Does Urban Exploration YouTube videos and wants to be famous doing it. Kind of a loser, desperately wants internet approval. Ended up in the gang as he's a good hacker. Needs to be a good hacker to be a good urban explorer. Infiltrator, all about sneaking/being invisible. Ironspy, a wireframe of a female form, liquid metal, T-1000 but through a paper shredder, wireframe team from smash bros, metal core that crackles with lightning. My Eidolon can cloak itself from detection by merging with any metallic object, and attack from hiding by frying with bolts of lightning. Greatest fear is no one caring about them.

Lexi Waltner
The Beast. Just an animal. Lets the group name the character, as an animal wouldn't have its own name. A fox. Ordinary fox that lived in the alleys near the casino, got seen around a bunch. They hang out with the fox. Eidolon is Little Lies, helps her pursue her animal urges by convincing a target of something they want to be true. Example: Guy at a hotdog cart, Eidolon can whisper that the redhead across the street gave him a come hither motion, so he'll go over to check it out. Her greatest fear is going back to a fox-level intelligence. Her Beast#Instinctive Desire is Food. Little Lies is a humanoid form based on an animal's perception of a person. Elegant dress, high roller, but fox elements (snout, tail, ears).

Iris suggests Chili, everyone immediately agrees.

Ties
Like with POP 0, Ties at this point in the game are simply a note that you have a bond with a person, idea, or group. A bond you would sacrifice something important to you over.
