Okay, I got a proper skin made for my ‘Ice Queen’ type character, The Frozen.

Okay, I got a proper skin made for my ‘Ice Queen’ type character, The Frozen.

It’s presented gender neutral for the most part, but the image I used presents as female.

I took down my previous post, as this is a much more refined version of the Skin I think.  I’m sure there are a couple of typos I can work out though.  (For instance I just noticed that the sex move should grant three Strings, not two).

While the influence for the skin shouldn’t be hard to guess, I find I like Skins best when they aren’t about ‘super-powers’ and rather each move really helps drive the drama.  Generally I’d agree with others in the Group that starting with an emotional theme and then picking a monster to fit it is the way to go, this one kind of worked the other way.  That said, I really tried to focus on the emotional issues and turmoil of the inspiring film character to drive the creation of this Skin.

I really am eager for feedback from people, if there is anything you like or dislike please let me know.

I’m already working on my next skin, and any tips from this could help me refine the next one before I put it up here – The Pixie.

EDIT:  Version 1.3 now up

I was thinking of creating a whole new skin to show how celebrity teens have a rough time of their fandom. (What with the threatening to kill them/their enemies, touching them at concerts, and starting hashtags).

But a lot of that is basically The Mortal, so I changed the names, backstory, and added TWO NEW MOVES (Heart of Controversy and Well Rehearsed).

I’ve got a new skin – currently in the first draft.  The Initiate started out life as an environmental activist – and ended up becoming someone with A Cause.  It’s currently more religious than I’d intended I think; it’s intended to cover more than that.

I need some help cleaning up the wording of a move.

I need some help cleaning up the wording of a move. This is for The Chimera, a Skin that is meant to explore what it means to be bi- or multiracial. The Chimera picks two “Bloodlines” during character creation, representing their mixed parentage.

Duel Loyalty

You belong to two gangs; one for each of your Bloodlines. When you publicly display how you are a real member of one of your Bloodlines, you may manipulate an NPC of that bloodline as if you had Hot 3. If you do, gain the Condition half-blood [Bloodline] for your other Bloodline.

While you have the Condition half-blood [Bloodline], you manipulate NPCs of that bloodline as if you had Hot -3. —–

The idea here is that by acting more like one half of their parentage, The Chimera is alienating themselves from their other bloodline. Hence the Condition half-blood that other characters will take advantage of.

The wording is messy, so, can anyone help me clean it up and clarify it?
