[UA] Gothic Archetype

[Saul Peers]

Ha-HA!  I love both ideas!  I think I'll leave it up in the air, i.e. He 
could be either, until the PCs decide which one they think he is (Either 
skillful manipulator or Outcast Leader) and then flip-flop and make him the 
other one.  Hee-hee.  What they thought was good is evil, or the bad man is 
really a selfless hero.

Also, I like the term True King of the Goths... It has so many 
interpretations.  It could either be something similar to an avatar, but not 
quite, since it's an avatar of an archetypical people, rather then a 
universal archetype, like those in the Statosphere.  Conversely, it could be 
a pun on actual Goths... Barabarian Frenchmen -His followers become the 
Barbarians At The Gates, and America (the game is based in Burlington, 
Vermont) becomes Rome!  Whee, so much fun.  I was originally intending for 
this Goth leader to be a minor, background Duke in my game, but he's so cool 
I could base an entire campaign around him.  Awesome.

Incedently, for those of you who don't have Post-Modern Magick, you really 
need it.  It's amazing, especially with the new magick schools.  I don't 
know how someone could run Unknown Armies without it.  I'll most likely say 
the same thing when I pick up Statosphere in the future, but there you have 
it.

Thanks,

Saul
