Getting started on my VSF-variant Sellswords and Spellslingers campaign, here is my party during a recent ARSS operation in the Balkans.

Left to right: Professor Humphrey Hodgeson, Maisie Hodgeson and "Jack".

Professor  Humphrey Hodgeson. A younger son of Lord George Hodgeson, his academic achievements at Oxford led him away from the usual family careers of the Military or the Church (his older brothers include a Major General, a Rear Admiral and a Bishop). He was quickly recruited by a clandestine branch of the Foreign Office, the department for Arcane Research and Scientific Studies. As well as the inventor of numerous devious (and sometimes dangerous) devices used by ARSS operatives, he is a fine shot with a revolver. Currently operating in the Mediterranean theatre.

Maisie - the Honourable Margaret Mary Georgina Hodgeson. The youngest child of Sir William Hodgeson, Professor Hogeson's eldest brother. Her intelligence and adventurous spirit led her to join her favourite uncle on one of his missions, by stowing away in his trunk. On the conclusion of which ,she was offered an official position within ARSS.

"Jack" - Jonathan Berry. A 2nd cousin to Sir Graham Berry, the Premier of Queensland. He first came to notice commanding the police unit that captured the infamous Ned Kelly, the mutant bushranger, and his gang. He was subsequently recruited as an operative of the Colonial Office, tasked with investigating some of the more "exotic" occurrences throughout the Antipodes. Currently on secondment to the FO in the Mediterranean ("Boss, you're sending me to work for an ARSE?"). 

Jack and Maisie engage with some Balkans brigands.

 

Jack distracts an Iron Man, whilst the Professor prepares a suitable devious device.
