Secret Roles?
Is it possible to have a Role that is tied to an individual who's identity is not known? An international terrorist for example. His pattern is known, as are some of his associates, maybe even his fingerprints. No one, however, knows what he looks like or what his name is (he is widely known as the Jackal, for example). How would this sort of thing work ?
Also, a Role as a terrorist or a serial killer would seem to be pretty powerful as it gives a demon the chance to cause destruction and death without disturbing the sympthony; this is, after all, what such people do. Last edited by the_dark_one; 05-12-2005 at 04:05 PM. |

As a GM, I'd say this sort of thing is only possible if the Role is known to, or otherwise frequently interacts with, at least some reasonably big group of people. In this case, it could be other people in the terrorist underground, for example. But I'd say that forging such a Role would require some amount of interaction with the regular corporeal parts of the Symphony, so the theme got woven into it properly. Just running around and blowing things up solo wouldn't be enough, in my opinion. (Besides being *horribly* noisy until the Role was established....) Quote:

Also, the concept of nested Roles occurs to me. The idea that Reverend Bill, the leader of the "Church of Human Ascension" (which believes in racial purity and is fantatically anti-technology and believes in establishing a religious government with absolute power) and the international terrorist called Mr. Vandemar are the same person is intruiging to me...

The Role without the face of the person known is actually stronger and better known than that of the guy you see mopping the floors every day. The first one might be on TV or in the papers.
