About
“I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked ... They were the blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design—living and horrible.”

Name: Ion
Ion used to be an athlete, and a member of the national soccer (football) team. Married to the world's leading innovator in sustainable electricity, Samuel Rees, she was used to being in the spotlight. But all of that attention brought her beloved Samuel an early demise. He was working on a new technology said to be twice as efficient at producing energy as anything else the world had ever seen, but his rivals wanted it first. He was murdered in cold blood, his research stolen. In the confrontation, a stray bullet impacted a nearby test reactor, and when Ion finally found Samuel breathing his last breaths, the reactor exploded, electrifying Ion's entire body.
She gained powers that allow her to convert her body into an electric current, however, she can only maintain the form as long as she is moving through or towards some sort of conductor and choosing it's direction can prove to be difficult at times.

He gained power when stepping in to stop a thief. After that, he saw the importance of his training and continued to do it on the streets, and lost a ton of weight due to being homeless and working hard. Now he hopes to make a difference, taking down the bullies of the city.

About
Name: Radcliff: the Great
Radcliff (or Rad for short) used to be a celebrity among wizards and common folk alike. Everyone aspired to be as amazing as Radcliff: The Great, but with all of his fame he also attracted those who wished to abuse it. He was ambushed by a group of powerful magic users. In the fray, his hands were damaged badly, limiting his magical abilities even to this day. The attackers ran off and began impersonating him, no doubt profiting from his fame. Now, as Rad relearns to use magic with his crippled hands, he desires to expose his doppelganger(s) and reclaim his title as Radcliff: The Great.

About
“I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked ... They were the blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design—living and horrible.”

Name: Ion
Ion used to be an athlete, and a member of the national soccer (football) team. Married to the world's leading innovator in sustainable electricity, Samuel Rees, she was used to being in the spotlight. But all of that attention brought her beloved Samuel an early demise. He was working on a new technology said to be twice as efficient at producing energy as anything else the world had ever seen, but his rivals wanted it first. He was murdered in cold blood, his research stolen. In the confrontation, a stray bullet impacted a nearby test reactor, and when Ion finally found Samuel breathing his last breaths, the reactor exploded, electrifying Ion's entire body.
She gained powers that allow her to convert her body into an electric current, however, she can only maintain the form as long as she is moving through or towards some sort of conductor and choosing it's direction can prove to be difficult at times. Now, she stays in the spotlight, stopping crimes by day and secretly hunting down her husband's murderers by night.

About
Name: Sam Brown - "Blink"
Sam was bullied heavily in school for being overweight. His father was a hardened man who always believed Sam needed to toughen up, so he sent him to Jujitsu lessons for self defense. Sam was too insecure to try and use martial arts. Due to the bullying getting worse and parents/school not helping, he ran away to live on streets of Sunset City. He gained power when stepping in to stop a thief. After that, he saw the importance of his training and continued to do it on the streets, and lost a ton of weight due to being homeless and working hard. Now he hopes to make a difference, taking down the bullies of the city.

About
Name: Tork
Tork was raised as part of a select group of Turtoids that were chosen to protect Seal of Haaf, an artifact deep in the ocean that was said to protect the oceans from the monsters that lurked beyond it's depths. But Tork doubted it's power and, when he was old enough, he left to find his own path. Years later, he heard news of many attacks from strange sea creatures and he feared the worst. He journeyed back to his village only to find it overrun with sea monsters. He has now taken it upon himself to find the Seal of Haaf and return it to it's rightful place before the oceans are destroyed.
Mechanics
Tork is meant to be used as a defensive player. He excels when taking the Full Defense action in a fight. He can build up tons of advantages this way by defending for himself and allies in the same zone. Then he can spend them all at once, or hand them off to a heavier hitter for some pretty nasty combos.

About
Name: Radcliff: the Great
Radcliff (or Rad for short) used to be a celebrity among wizards and common folk alike. Everyone aspired to be as amazing as Radcliff: The Great, but with all of his fame he also attracted those who wished to abuse it. He was ambushed by a group of powerful magic users. In the fray, his hands were damaged badly, limiting his magical abilities even to this day. The attackers ran off and began impersonating him, no doubt profiting from his fame. Now, as Rad relearns to use magic with his crippled hands, he desires to expose his doppelganger(s) and reclaim his title as Radcliff: The Great.

You may only do this once per target and after you have done it to a target, each subsequent use requires you to spend a Fate Point or free invoke.
Reanimator. When you animate something, your animation now starts with one skill at Average (+1) and a 1-point stress box. You can also exchange any free invokes received for both a skill at Average (+1) and a 1- point stress box for your animated being.

- The adventurers are searching for a macguffin that is at the top of a cliff. The wyverns may have even stolen the macguffin and put it up there. The top of the cliff is where the wyverns roost. The heroes must scale the cliff while fending off the wyverns.
- To reach their desired destination, the adventurers must cross a wyvern breeding ground. Hundreds of towering rock formations are scattered in the large canyon between two cliffs (like Wullingyuan Canyon in China). Wyverns fly to and fro below, almost like a makeshift transportation system ;). The heroes must get to the other side of the canyon to reach their destination.
- While riding on an air ship, sky pirates attack and they are riding well-trained wyverns!
