== ''Sound Judgment of Externalities'' ("Sound") ==
'''the Outsider'''

A Player Character in [[HalcyonKnights:Main_Page|Halcyon Knights]].

----

=== Look ===
* woman
* neon body
* metallic eyes
* no human clothing
* practical costume

Sound appears to be a short, curvy young woman made of henna-colored ceramic streaked with circuitry of variously colored metals, though her skin is warm and soft to the touch. She wears practical clothing from her native land (modified for North American concepts of modesty—it's much hotter in Erganon), essentially a vest of pockets and web gear over a tailored uniform blouse and cargo shorts. Her disposition is generally cheerful, though she can turn stern in a moment if she sees destructive waste or inefficiency.

=== Abilities ===
* alien weaponry
* vibration control

=== Outsider Moves ===
;Belong in two worlds
:You have the resources that come with your station. Whenever you contact your people, roll +Superior. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 2. On a miss, hold 1, but your people make an uncomfortable demand of you. Spend your hold 1 for 1 to:
:*receive a useful piece of alien technology that will allow you to use any ability from another playbook once (choose the ability when you spend the hold)
:*consult your people's knowledge to ask the GM a question about the current situation
:*clear a condition through the comfort of contact with your home

;Alien tech
:When you alter a human device with your alien technology, roll +Freak. On a hit, you create a device that can do something impossible once and then fizzle. When you roll a 10+, choose one:
:*it works exceptionally well
:*you get an additional use out of it
:On a miss, the device works, but it has a completely unintended side effect that the GM will reveal when you use it.

;Alien ways
:Whenever you openly disregard or undermine an important Earth custom in favor of one of your own people's customs, shift Superior up and any other Label down.

== Backstory ==

;Where do you come from?
:My people dwell in the parallel dimension called Iapetos (not to be confused with the similarly-named moon of your planet Saturn), which is the reified body of the Titan Iapetos who departed Earth many thousands of years ago. Your myth of the Titanomachy is, to be polite, not consistent with our histories, but there is a germ of truth in it.

;Why did you come to Earth?
:The nation of Erganon made contact with the Earth dimension four years ago to trade for certain mineral resources, supplies of which were running short in our area of Iapetos. I was among the vanguard of Operation GOLDEN SPEAR, the first wave of contact.

;Why do you want to stay here (for now at least)?
:It's—it's fascinating! So much open space, so much life! It's nothing like home. So many new things to see!

;Why do your people want you to come home?
:Renewed war with Telekhar is likely within the next few years, according to the Prolepsis. All of Erganon's Champions will be needed. But I don't see why I should have to go home yet—I'm learning so much that could be useful to us! And…coffee!

;Why do you care about the team?
:Your people's Champions are so…disorganized. Together, our team can be a model of synergy, an example from which your so-called "Exemplars" could stand to learn. We will learn together, work together, teach together, and if even a few of Earth's Champions come to understand their proper role in society, my decision to stay here for the time being will be vindicated.

;So you've been here a few years now, but how long have you been off your government's leash, so to speak?? Did any of your family come to stay here with you or do you live in, like, some kinda government funded Alien Envoy/Displaced Weirdo housing?
:Family…? Um, you mean my assembly? For sure not! No, I'm kind of couch-surfing with the team and their friends since I refused to obey the last recall order. I don't have a lot of money, but then, with my Nutrient Replacement Engine and my Recalibrating Neural Coprocessor, my biological needs are pretty minimal, so it's just a question of somewhere to hang out when I don't want to spend money on coffee. I watch a lot of Netflix and such while people are asleep.

:Coffee. Did I mention I love Earth? Mmmm.

;That Silver Age guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of Atlas is still kicking around I think, have you had any run-ins with him? Gotta be weird talking to a guy who's convinced your god is sort of his dad.
:Yeah, that was a weird conversation all right. What a maroon. Is that the phrase? Totally delusional. It was really awkward trying to be polite about it. We didn't part on good terms.

;What major social faux pas did you unknowingly make, and what parent revoked your couch surfing permit for it?
:We don't have pets in Erganon. There are some nations in Iapetos where animals do play a significant cultural role, but not as pets. So…the only time I visited the Walker household (as a friend from school, of course, not a fellow superhero), their dog didn't like me. I mistook it for a macroparasite that had invaded their home, consuming their food and water resources, potentially dangerous to the young one, so I put it out on the fire escape. Fortunately Mrs. Walker saw and let it back in before it froze to death, but she says I'm not welcome there any more.

:Stupid yappy dog.

;How do the folks back home contact you, and have you made any excuses for ignoring that pesky recall order?
:They call me on my cell phone. Your planet's telecommunications systems are primitive compared to the electrophotonic nervous system of the Great Maker Iapetos! We tapped into your Internet and your telephone network within days after penetrating the Tartarus Lock. As for the recall order, at first I made up stories like having been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations of Earth so it would be an international incident if I disappeared, but now I just swipe left. Usually they don't bother leaving voicemail.

;Ah, do you have a disguise of some sort you wear when you're not heroing it up, or are there just enough weird meta-human folks running around that no one really questions the fact that you're made of squishy ceramic and colorful metal?
:Oh, I don't have a Husk-Sculpting Apparatus or a chameleon suit or anything. There aren't ''that'' many obvious metahuman teenagers around, even in Halcyon City, but I'm one of them…

=== Relationships ===
* I've been learning about Earth by spending time with [[HalcyonKnights:Van|Sunstar]].
* I have a crush on [[HalcyonKnights:Andy|Indestructible Girl]] but I keep it under wraps.
* [[HalcyonKnights:Amy|Invincible Sword Princess!]] will have to prove herself to me before she feels like a real hero.
* [[HalcyonKnights:Van|Sunstar]] once hurt me when he lost control of his powers.
* I knew [[HalcyonKnights:Ricky|Superstring]] from his civilian life first.

;Why do you care about the team?
:Your people's Champions are so…disorganized. Together, our team can be a model of synergy, an example from which your so-called "Exemplars" could stand to learn. We will learn together, work together, teach together, and if even a few of Earth's Champions come to understand their proper role in society, my decision to stay here for the time being will be vindicated.

;So you've been here a few years now, but how long have you been off your government's leash, so to speak?? Did any of your family come to stay here with you or do you live in, like, some kinda government funded Alien Envoy/Displaced Weirdo housing?
:Family…? Um, you mean my assembly? For sure not! No, I'm kind of couch-surfing with the team and their friends since I refused to obey the last recall order. I don't have a lot of money, but then, with my Nutrient Replacement Engine and my Recalibrating Neural Coprocessor, my biological needs are pretty minimal, so it's just a question of somewhere to hang out when I don't want to spend money on coffee. I watch a lot of Netflix and such while people are asleep.

:Coffee. Did I mention I love Earth? Mmmm.

;That Silver Age guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of Atlas is still kicking around I think, have you had any run-ins with him? Gotta be weird talking to a guy who's convinced your god is sort of his dad.
:Yeah, that was a weird conversation all right. What a maroon. Is that the phrase? Totally delusional. It was really awkward trying to be polite about it. We didn't part on good terms.

;What major social faux pas did you unknowingly make, and what parent revoked your couch surfing permit for it?
:We don't have pets in Erganon. There are some nations in Iapetos where animals do play a significant cultural role, but not as pets. So…the only time I visited the Walker household (as a friend from school, of course, not a fellow superhero), their dog didn't like me. I mistook it for a macroparasite that had invaded their home, consuming their food and water resources, potentially dangerous to the young one, so I put it out on the fire escape. Fortunately Mrs. Walker saw and let it back in before it froze to death, but she says I'm not welcome there any more.

:Stupid yappy dog.

;How do the folks back home contact you, and have you made any excuses for ignoring that pesky recall order?
:They call me on my cell phone. Your planet's telecommunications systems are primitive compared to the electrophotonic nervous system of the Great Maker Iapetos! We tapped into your Internet and your telephone network within days after penetrating the Tartarus Lock. As for the recall order, at first I made up stories like having been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations of Earth so it would be an international incident if I disappeared, but now I just swipe left. Usually they don't bother leaving voicemail.

;Ah, do you have a disguise of some sort you wear when you're not heroing it up, or are there just enough weird meta-human folks running around that no one really questions the fact that you're made of squishy ceramic and colorful metal?
:Oh, I don't have a Husk-Sculpting Apparatus or a chameleon suit or anything. There aren't ''that'' many obvious metahuman teenagers around, even in Halcyon City, but I'm one of them…

== ''Sound Judgment of Externalities'' ("Sound") ==
'''the Outsider'''

A Player Character in [[HalcyonKnights:Main_Page|Halcyon Knights]].

----

=== Look ===
* woman
* neon body
* metallic eyes
* no human clothing
* practical costume

''Sound'' appears to be a short, curvy young woman made of henna-colored ceramic streaked with circuitry of variously colored metals, though her skin is warm and soft to the touch. She wears practical clothing from her native land (modified for North American concepts of modesty—it's much hotter in Erganon), essentially a vest of pockets and web gear over a tailored uniform blouse and cargo shorts. Her disposition is generally cheerful, though she can turn stern in a moment if she sees destructive waste or inefficiency.

=== Abilities ===
* alien weaponry
* vibration control

=== Playbook Specific Thing, if yours has one ===

=== Backstory ===

;Where do you come from?
:My people dwell in the parallel dimension called Iapetos (not to be confused with the similarly-named moon of your planet Saturn), which is the reified body of the Titan Iapetos who departed Earth many thousands of years ago. Your myth of the Titanomachy is, to be polite, not consistent with our histories, but there is a germ of truth in it.

;Why did you come to Earth?
:The nation of Erganon made contact with the Earth dimension four years ago to trade for certain mineral resources, supplies of which were running short in our area of Iapetos. I was among the vanguard of Operation GOLDEN SPEAR, the first wave of contact.

;Why do you want to stay here (for now at least)?
:It's—it's fascinating! So much open space, so much life! It's nothing like home. So many new things to see!

;Why do your people want you to come home?
:Renewed war with Telekhar is likely within the next few years, according to the Prolepsis. All of Erganon's Champions will be needed. But I don't see why I should have to go home yet—I'm learning so much that could be useful to us!

;Why do you care about the team?

Metal Fatigue: advanced spirituality

An NPC in [[Welcome to Holy Question Mark]], a campaign set in the Amberverse using modified ''Lords of Gossamer and Shadow'' rules.

==Bernard "Bearcat" Cavagnaro==

[https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?780436-Welcome-to-Holy-Question-Mark&p=20004245#post20004245 From the IC thread:]
<blockquote>It is a sign of the sort of school Holy Question Mark is that the teachers generally call students by their preferred names, some of them even calling Bernard Cavagnaro "Bearcat." He refuses to answer to his given name any more, so those who won't stoop to "Bearcat" call him "BC," an ambiguity he grudgingly accepts. Only Assistant Dean Healey and some of the crueler students call him "Bernard" these days, and he is well-known to have sucked up a Saturday Morning Work Detail once as penalty for ignoring the Dean of Mean calling him by his "larval-stage name."</blockquote>

==Advanced Spirituality==

Those who are in [[WtHQM:Rev. Foley|Rev. Dr. Foley]]'s Advanced Spirituality class know that BC claims to be talented in astral projection, though he has to be stoned to do it, which makes doing it in class impossible. Furthermore, it's a talent Dr. Foley herself does not possess. The most she can do to aid him in his spiritual development is to work on meditation as a substitute for marijuana in unlocking his power.

[[File:Teagan1.png|upright|right|thumb|Teagan doesn't smile much any more]][[File:Cosain.png|upright|right|thumb|Teagan's service dog, Cosain]]A PC in [[Welcome to Holy Question Mark]], a campaign set in the Amberverse using modified ''Lords of Gossamer and Shadow'' rules.

'''Teagan Townsend''' is ''that'' girl. The one that was on all of the media reports for a while, when America became even more scared of the monster threat. Labelled "The one that got away," she is the girl who escaped Terre Haute, Indiana, ran five miles till she got picked up by a car and driven to the nearest police station. Mostly lauded for her efforts, there were others who accused of her being in line with the monsters.

She showed up at the school, a year older than the rest of her class, the Terre Haute incident ruining her life enough to put her a year off school. She walks through the halls with a large curly-haired grey dog (Great Dane/Poodle mix if asked) named [[WtHQM:Cosain|Cosain]] (accent on the first syllable). He wears a vest that proclaims he is a service dog. She suffers the teasing about that.

She is friendly, but not outgoing and often seems lonely.

An avid sports fan, she especially likes soccer and parkour. She is known throughout the school as the one who won [[WtHQM:Chad Rothmeyer|Chad Rothmeyer]]'s standing bet that no one could scale the outside of the school building to the top and reach the school flag.

She is not very artistic, but seems particularly interested in science.

Much to the chagrin of her roommate, she is pretty messy. Her extensive X-men collection and sports equipment take up a large portion of one corner.

She is currently dating Cleave. They have a tree. Really~

WtHQM:Holy Question Mark

2016-04-19T02:41:52Z

Metal Fatigue: /* Student Body */ add link to class schedule

Part of [[Welcome to Holy Question Mark]], a campaign set in the Amberverse using modified ''Lords of Gossamer and Shadow'' rules.

==The Socinian Institute of New York==

Often called Holy Question Mark by students (and occasionally staff), the Socinian Institute of New York is a private Unitarian-Universalist boarding school in Manhattan. It has a reputation as an academic sweatshop, as well as having excellent fine and performing arts programs and a vigorous involvement in public service activities. It is also extremely secure against monsters (and kidnappers), which makes it a desirable place for the wealthy and anxious to deposit their offspring.

[[WtHQM:Dr. Balthazar|Dr. Nicholas Balthazar]] has been Headmaster of the Institute since 2002.

===History===

Founded in 1887. Moved to current site in 2008.

==Student Body==

The Institute is a high school, comprising grades 9–12, graduating an average of 150 students per year. Though many of the students come from wealthy and/or influential backgrounds, a majority of the student body receives some degree of need-based aid. Most such funds come from Holy Question Mark's general endowment, which is unusually large for a school of its size, though outside scholarships contribute as well.

===Academics===

: ''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c0V5wcKsUC-PIP0Jzee591yNZrbCoFWZiUQ0397JJ7Y/edit?usp=sharing Class schedule grid]''

===Athletics===

Interscholastic athletic teams include (girls' and boys') basketball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis and volleyball, and boys' wrestling, all through the [http://www.psaany.org/ Private School Athletic Association of New York]]. There are also the (mixed) fencing team and cheer squad. With the exception of the cheer squad (which is on a nationally competitive level thanks to its current captain [[WtHQM:Liz Pardew|Liz Pardew]]'s vigorous efforts) and the fencing team (which rests on [[WtHQM:Cleave|Cleave]]'s laurels), Holy Question Mark's teams are near the bottom of the rankings, simply because the administration does not prioritize athletic practices over academic requirements.

Various intramural teams and informal sports clubs also exist.

==Religion==

Though named in reference to 16th Century Unitarian theologian Lelio Sozzini, the school's guiding ethos today is Unitarian-Universalism (UU), not specifically Socinianism.

The UU ideals of tolerance, equality, and the free and responsible search for truth and meaning guide the school's administration and policies. Most faculty and staff are UU, though their personal spiritualities vary widely. Students are not required to have any specific sectarian affiliation.

Weekly attendance at a school-approved spiritual service is compulsory. Most students attend the general UU service on Sunday, but there is a sizable minority of Muslim students who attend Jumu'ah on Fridays, and another sizable minority who check in individually at a convenient weekly time for an hour of meditation in the chapel. Various smaller groups (such as Jews, Buddhists, Wiccans and humanist atheists) also exist, each with a faculty sponsor, much like extracurricular clubs.

Individual or small-group off-campus worship is not permitted for safety reasons.

==Campus==

The present site of the Socinian Institute is a single large building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, not far from the main campus of Columbia University. The main building is five stories high, with two dormitory towers. The enclosed garden atop the main building occupies the space between the towers, and is a popular place for students to relax in their free time on sunny days. There are two indoor gyms and a swimming pool; outdoor athletic facilities are off-campus and shared with two other private schools.

Dormitories are co-ed by floor. The vast majority of student dorm rooms are double-occupancy, with single-occupancy rooms reserved for students with special circumstances. About half the faculty and staff reside on-campus as well, including the Headmaster.

Each dorm tower has its own refectory, though everyone is welcome to eat in either for any meal; students (and faculty/staff) may also purchase a selection of snacks and groceries from the campus store. There are no vending machines on campus.

For safety reasons, students are not allowed off-campus except for school-approved activities or when signed out by a parent or guardian.

Personal weapons are stored in the school armory and may not be carried within the school building.

==Advanced Spirituality==

: ''Main article: [[WtHQM:Advanced Spirituality|Advanced Spirituality]]''

"Advanced Spirituality" is a special curriculum outside the regular course load, offered privately to students who have exhibited magic or magic-like abilities. Mysterious!

[[WtHQM:Rev. Foley|Rev. Dr. Charlene Foley]], the school's UU pastor, is the current principal instructor for Advanced Spirituality. Other instructors sometimes participate.

==Dress Code==

Holy Question Mark does not require uniforms. The school dress code is, more or less, "Don't embarrass your grandmother." And no, if your actual grandmother is a hippie or something that is not an excuse. Don't embarrass the archetypal grandmother.

==Bernard "Bearcat" Cavagnaro==

[QUOTE=Metal Fatigue;20004245]It is a sign of the sort of school Holy Question Mark is that the teachers generally call students by their preferred names, some of them even calling Bernard Cavagnaro "Bearcat." He refuses to answer to his given name any more, so those who won't stoop to "Bearcat" call him "BC," an ambiguity he grudgingly accepts. Only Assistant Dean Healey and some of the crueler students call him "Bernard" these days, and he is well-known to have sucked up a Saturday Morning Work Detail once as penalty for ignoring the Dean of Mean calling him by his "larval-stage name."[/QUOTE]
