This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

NPCs for the Academy.

I am playing an Amber clone next week.  Just a one off to get my players used to the system. It's a throne war I guess.  The Chair of the Academy is dead and they have to elect a new Chair.  Only problem is now I need a bunch of faculty the players can try to influence for votes.  If anyone wants to pitch a charcter concept that would help.  
Just a sketch is all I need.  The Academy is like if the Jedi council from lord of the rings was crossed with the Council of the Wize from Lord of the Rings, and Vader and Sauron were members.  Or if you must Hogwarts Academy but teaching University and Voldamort and Helena Bonem Carter were both members and sometimes Indiana Jones and John Carter would Barsoom down from Mars to teach a semester or two.

Name.
Subject?
Personality.
Colors and style.
Opinion on un-registered practitioners in the hundered worlds?
Faction?
Devine Sponsor ship?  

Any of this or more is great help.  Honestly just a name comes in handy.  I'm shit with names.

Thanks

I will.  But I want to save them for expanding Plot.  I had Zeus in the setting before I got your book and Athena and others, they just aren't in the story.  (Unless PCs have different Ideas)

Really really impressed with that section of your book by the way.

Thank you very much.  Anyways, what I was really thinking is that you could use some of the lesser-known minor deities in that section, the ones that only really clever players will even have heard of.
