Day 4: Outgunned Combo 4 - Army of Evil & A Kind of Magic

Lottery Result: Army of Evil and A Kind of Magic. Urban Fantasy Zombies. 

We keep drawing some of the few flicks that imply worldwide catastrophes. Not ideal, but we will roll with it, I think.

For this one the world has suffered when in World War 2 an Ahnenerbe experimental ritual at the end of 1944 went out of control, turning all Nazi soldiers into zombies. Yes, in this world magic is real, and led to the Zombie apocalypse. It is contained to Eurasia for the most part. I also want the zombies to not have overrun everything; magic has helped contain them at least in part. Society still exists, though there are large wastelands (like Germany and large parts of the surrounding areas) run over by the undead. Now it is two years later, and the allied nations have organized a mission deep into enemy territory to try and find the remains and ideally documents describing the ritual that led to all this. Maybe, with a little bit of luck, this will allow the sorcerous cabals to come up with protection or some other solution. The world follows the “A Chosen Few” setting concept, i.e. few people can use magic. Also, magic users in this world need written spells for their magic. Additional materials are needed for rituals, of course.

Our hero is a young mage called Kaleb Cassidie, a Scottish magical prodigy sent along to provide magical support.

Role: The Apprentice (AKoM)

Trope: Next Door Hero (AoE) - some Trope from basic Outgunned might be better, but I will keep to the rules I gave myself. This one is the best fit in Army of Evil. 

Feats: He is a Spell Slinger, meaning he is very good at combat magic.

Proven Driver, which does the obvious thing.

Finally, he has Get Down!, allowing him to push allies into cover when they are in danger.

Flaw: I brag a lot.

Catchphrase: “Hah! Barely a hurdle at all!”

For spells, he has Magical Dart, which is an attack spell, and Counterspell and Invisibility.

His equipment consists of an old motorcycle and his personal grimoire.  The two skill points round him out by adding to Cool and Flirt.

And he has a sheet.
