Michelle Hanrahan, Apprentice of Wayne R. Morrison
A Dresden Files Roleplaying Game
CHARACTER WORKSHEET

Character Name: Michelle Rosemary Agnes Hanrahan
Player: Squidheadjax
Template: Wizard
High Concept: Wizard Apprentice from the New Milennium
Invoke: To scandalize ‘old-fashioned’ types without a second thought, to ‘fit in’ in worldly social settings where an older, crustier wizard would stick out, to navigate modern social media concepts (from a distance), and to generally do (apprentice) wizardy things and support Wayne
Compel: To disregard good advice from tradition, to make incorrect assumptions about ancient entities based on modern values, and to scandalize ‘old-fashioned’ types without a second thought
Musts: Thaumaturgy, Evocation, Sight, Wizard Constitution, Soulgaze
Trouble Aspect: Magical Heroine Complex
Compel: to leap to the aid of those who seem to be in need (regardless of the reality), to grasp at straws to ‘find the good’ in various villains, to avoid realizing her limits
Invoke: In the rare cases when there’s actually good to bring out in a defeated or overwhelming foe, to avoid realizing her limits

PHASES
Background:
The middle child of a large family, Michelle found her voice in becoming ‘the techie’ rather than some of the more classical forms of acting out. She loved the imaginitive worlds out in the internet and in computer games, and took advantage of e-publishing to remain a voracious reader. When tech around her started breaking down, she was devastated, but she remembered that one of her favorite authors had a similar problem. Four demo computers at a local Best Buy gave their lives so she could track down his literary agent (and got her banned from all the Best Buys in Chester County for life).
Phase Aspect: Unrequited Technophile
Invoke: To understand modern and advancing technology (and how to break it), to push the envelope of technology she can safely work with, to work on simpler tech (like the Winnebago)
Compel: To make her normal Murphyonic field extra-inconvenient; to unintentionally jinx something that would normally be safe from her (“I don’t know how but I think I broke the cellphone I was calling…”)
Rising Conflict:
And so she managed to convince his agent to pass a letter to Mr. Morrison, in which he recognized the emergence of a magical talent - and realized that he’d probably end up getting dragged into apprenticing her anyway, if she didn’t go bad from self-teaching before that. So he eventually agreed to meet with her.
Increasing frictions at school caused her parents to send her to a Catholic school for high school, thinking it might also help her deal with the magical ‘fantasies’ she was having around her bad luck with technology. And they weren’t entirely confident that her repeated meetings with Wayne were a good idea, even though the opportunity to get tutored by such a figure is a big deal. Out of a desire to stay connected to machines, she enrolled in the county vo-tech program as well (Brandywine Area Technical School, or BATS), and to her relief found more solid mechanics to be resistant to her Murphyonic Field (a term she derived independently, of course).
She did well at Shanahan and BATS (which got a much less interesting name when it moved buildings in her junior year) but didn’t participate in much besides the core academics. Her circle of friends was mostly people on the fringes of school society, even though she was pretty thoroughly straitedge herself - she had an outsider’s perspective for a whole different reason.
Phase Aspect: Proper Catholic Schoolwitch
Invoke: to have a little faith, to deal calmly with authority, to disarmingly conform to expectations, to fit magical actions into mundane expectations
Compel: to concede to authority when she should push her point, to get an incorrectly positive impression of a religious figure, to fail at social interaction with people outside her white-middleclass-Christian mileu, to have leftover teenage angst
Story: Attack of the Jersey Devil
Guest Starring: Wayne T. Morrison
And then a Peryton tried to eat her. This incident, at least, involved her whole family actually seeing Michelle face off against the creature to protect them. Her own barely-developed magic and lack of knowledge about the creature didn’t leave her much chance of success, but her mentor arrived in time to show off what an angry storm wizard could do. When she asked if there were wizards who protected people like that all the time, Wayne explained that the Wardens were police most of the time, but sometimes had to stand against other creatures - and from that point forward, he couldn’t talk her out of following that goal.
Phase Aspect: Aspire to the Grey Cloak
Invoke: To stay firm in following the Laws of Magic (in contrast to her tendency to constantly push her boundaries otherwise), to focus her heroic leanings in a useful direction, to put herself in harm’s way for the good of others
Compel: To exhibit a human-centric attitude toward the supernatural world, to be overly suspicious toward non-Wizard practitioners, to rush to judgement of someone
Guest Star: - need to figure this one out
Phase Aspect:
Bucket Item: Visit all the national museums in DC and the LIbrary of Congress
Phase Aspect: Hungry to Learn
Invoke: Enhance rolls made to acquire knowledge or find particular resources, to perservere in the face of obstacles when seeking information.
Compel: To make poor decisions based on curiosity, to ignore the genuine perils of forbidden knowledge

And then a Peryton tried to eat her. Shortly after her graduation to full wizard, the incident involved her whole family actually seeing Michelle face off against the creature to protect them - alone, without her mysteriously-disappeared teacher. Though she was inexperienced, and didn't have much specific knowledge of the creature, her power and burning desire to protect her family allowed her to hold out until --------------. When she had taken her final tests, she had asked Wayne who the dour people in grey cloaks were - and Wayne explained that the Wardens were police most of the time, but sometimes had to stand against other creatures. From her fight against the Peryton forward, That became her goal. Even once the war started.
