You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Jackie Hall, Female

Technical Skills (see below)

It was the voices. I heard them. First, they helped me make...something. Not sure what, but it's not something I knew how to make before. They promised more awesome gadgets I could "invent" if I promised to use them to "cleanse the word of evil". I agreed. I decided to start with the streets...

so 4 votes for Jackie Hall, Female
and 4 votes for Technical Skills.

You are miss Jackie Hall an unemployed technical graduate.
Life used to be simple and slow, you lived day to day trying to find a job and ducking your flat mates requests for tiding up or cooking.
Then Susan started to talk to you, she showed you things you cant really explain how they work but your sure that they do.
she told you that you could make them and cleanse the word of evil, that you could use them as you wished.

"Hold on a minute your not starting an insanity plea are you?"
"NO susan never told me i had to do anything, all she did was put her offer on the table,
I took it of my own free will."

When you close your eyes you can see 3 plans for items, floating before your minds eye.
You have noticed that the plans kind of fade in and out of focus when you are near different items.

The first appears to be some kind of long bar shaped item maybe a sword of the some kind.
Second is large metallic hand shaped thing.
For the 3th and finale plan you can make out some kind of neck clasp.

"So what happen next?"

What do you want to do?
try to fine the parts to build one of the above? say which one you want to aim for.
go shopping?
try to recruit some one to your war on crime?

I'm recasting my vote.

It's not insane if it works!
...Probably.

And yeah, hand. Swords are so 8th century, and neck clasps...don't seem useful at all.

Make hand for self use. Buy a very cheap apartment as a forward base to hoard and create items. Ask around for any recent crimes and perpatrators and stop them to spread our name around.

easy decision, neck clasp. hand item and sword item are both probably melee combat items. the clasp will be something less boring and more awesome.

The sword, duh, but I can think of a wide variety of things a hand could be (hint: the inside would be a great place for buttons), and nothing for the neck clasp.

Besides, a steel fist would make us an okay crimefighter on its own. It's no Batarang, but at least it won't impale our hand when we use it.

doesn't the fact that you can't think of anything make you curious?
it's reasonable to assume all 3 items are roughly equal in power. i want to see what the GM has in mind for the item that doesn't have an obvious mechanism to function with. i suspect of the three it has the "wierdest" ability, and that's why i'm voting for it.

I've recast my vote: Neck clasp.
I recast partly for the sake of argument, and because I am now VERY curious as to what it does.
