Eidolon City

When you dream, do you dream of the dark?
Of the city streets? Of cold and hunger, rain down your neck. Or do you dream of the glitz and the glamour, driving to the next party, ignoring the nobodies outside in the rain?
When you dream - what do you see?

Eidolon City is an original character game with a difference, set in a world of the imagination, a mirror to the real world of the 1940s, a noir city setting full of high society, mafia wars, poverty and corruption.

We are currently looking for new characters and our players have suggested the following to spark your imaginations!

SOCIETY
It's not easy being a straight guy in this town, especially not in politics, but Harry Freeman tries his best. Sure, he's hardly whiter than white, but he's kept mostly to the straight and narrow, and managed to stay in office for the past ten years. He just knows he's never going to make it to the top unless he's willing to bend a little more.

The City Echo started out as a pissant nothing of a paper, but it has been ruthlessly pushed over the years and now it's the biggest thing in town when it comes to news. And in the middle sits the editor, always pulling strings to get the right results.

Carlotta Ferris might never have got the best education in the world, but she knows all she needs to - the renowned beauty knows the power of her looks and uses them to her best advantage. That and a quiet change of name and hardly anyone remembers these days that she wasn't born into the social circles she inhabits.

MOBS
Alexi Sidorov has plans. He may only be young, but he's ambitious and he's going places. He was the youngest member of the Konovich Syndicate to be given a captaincy and he intends to get higher still. Working in a meritocracy, though, means proving yourself, and with the shake up in the Syndicate lately, now seems to be the time to do just that.

Kurtis Walker has put his time in with the family. With society, with doing all the quiet, harsh if necessary deeds his family has required, and he's looking forward to his reward - Cheyenne. Pretty little thing, perfect to round out his life now that he's reached a stage where the messier parts of his job will be passed on to someone lower down the food chain. She'll look good on his arm, that's for sure.

Scarlett O'Malley remembers better days, when her family had respect in this town. Things have only fallen apart in the last few weeks, when the cops closed in on them, and their Syndicate allies turned on them. Now her family is dead, or scattered. Scarlett, though, wants revenge, and to rebuild what they once had.

HOMELESS
George is a mad on the run, hiding out in plain sight with the city homeless. Once he was connected to one of the most powerful familites in the city, now he's hunted, living under Sixth Street bridge, pretending to be crazy to save his own skin.
