Day 20: Outgunned Combo 20 - A Kind of Magic & Wild West

Lottery Result: A Kind of Magic and Wild West. Fun! Magical Western works for me, though the Wild West/Supernatural Horror combo seems more popular.

Nathan “Red Nate” Marsters is a lot of things – a wanted criminal in some states, a degenerate gambler, a loyal friend and accomplice, a man with a soft heart for the weak, and last but not least a former thaumaturgy apprentice. His signature is enchanting his bullets with elementary effects, most often fire. Red Nate is usually easygoing, but when someone triggers him, he tends towards escalation and overkill. Hence the bounties on his head in various areas of the country.

But on the bottom line, he is a friendly fellow, generous to his friends and people he likes, and willing to defend people who need it. Once he invariably flames out he should be remembered that way.

Mechanically I will call his elemental bullets an AKoM spell. In this world, magic works with foci. In Nate’s case that’s his gun.

Role: The Magical (AKoM) Gunslinger (WW)

Trope: Right Hand of the Devil (WW)

Feats: Spell-Slinger, Hair-Trigger, Silver Tongue

Flaw: Hot-headed

Catchphrase: “We can burn it to the ground, you know?”

I added a point for each in Streetwise and Detect. Nate has a horse, a revolver, a knife, and the spells Magical Dart, Arcane Blast, and Quick Spell. The latter means he can cast very quickly. Finally, he has a sheet.
