My Life With Monday - a My Life With Master mini-campaign.
!Character creation
After waffling on about Aspect, Needs, Wants and Demesne, I asked the players to come up with some ideas. Sean proposed a Master who was something of a musician, and in the end this is what we came up with (fleshed out a bit and put into semi-coherent sentences)...
Get over the organ jokes now, please.
!Master Monday
The black sheep of the wealthy Niemenen family, Monday inherited his eccentric Uncle Woden's gothic mansion, and the title he held over the nearby town. In a dusty hall, behind moth-eaten curtains, he found... the Organ. A monstrosity of pipes and valves, with coloured keys and broken panels. If only he can fix it, refine the design, and maybe learn to play it, his family will give him the recognition he so deserves.
(The Organ is a strange device capable of all sorts of preternatural effects. From simple mesmerism to clouds of bats flying over the village.)

(The townsfolk are not aware of him as a threat.)
The gardener of the Lord Protector, Marigold attends to both the grounds and the public areas of the town, including the park. He has a ghastly, disfigured left hand shaped like a trowel.
A diminutive girl with pointy ears, who couldn't take a bath, because she might drown in it. She has been employed by the Master to fix his Organ, as she is the perfect size. Unfortunately, she has no idea what she is supposed to do.
As well as being the manservant to Uncle Woden, Methuselah was probably the manservant to several Lord Protectors before him. No-one can be sure, as Methuselah is the oldest inhabitant of the town. He is tall, ancient and creaking, with a tremendous beard. So far he owns at least false teeth and a hearing horn.
