Alma/Stereotypes
From From The Ashes Wiki
| Self: | A little bit of Misfit Lab Rat, a little bit of odd Motherly Scientist. Like young ravens, has a mild neophobia about jumping in to things, but she pushes though it. She wants to give people real second chances, not this return to the wheel myth. Too many people want to cure what they don't understand or send them to hell for it.
Sometimes she's a difficult student. She's too smart for her own good. |
| Mages: | She recently woke up in Detroit. There aren't a lot of teachers for her here. As a new mage, she doesn't have a clear understanding of boundaries and where things fit. Anything that isn't "a default kind of thing" is magic. She's willing to learn about established doctrines because they are instructive, but they don't really tell you how things really work. People are distracted by all of these stories. And notice how anthropocentric they are all are.

| Sorcerers: | Sorcerers are mages, right? |
| Fera: | Wolf birds! Not just wolves. At first I thought they were just a bunch of narcissistic murder-people who thought I was spying on them when all I'm doing is my job. Now I realize that people get afraid and will want to defend themselves the best they can. |
| Vampires: | holy fucking shit. you mean to say vampires are real? no kidding? that's kind of terrifying. Note to self, avoid vampires because they will probably rip your face off. |
| Fae: | Do they like crows? I like Matthew in Sandman. |
| People: | Office hours every Thursday and on request. Help them grow or leave them alone? Guard their borders.
People in suits and pretty whitetablecloth clothing: frightening. People in useful clothes: trustworthy. |
| The City: | meet it and call it hello. it's an insular hagiogeography.[1] |
| Nature: | I love nature, but have you ever been bitten by it? Wet boots are pretty nasty too. Sometimes offices and dry clothes are really great. |
