What Has Gone Before According to Breena

I haven't been on top of posting like I wanted.  Here is a brief (hah!) version of what has gone before from Breena the Boggan's point of view...

You  found out your brother, Quinlan (John), found out that your parents practice some sort of black magic where they kidnap fae and kill them for their glamour. Then you even saved a girl. You all decided to get out of town and go to this music festival in New York, but there was so much that happened first.  Aldemar inherited a freehold and then left it with a Balor sidhe who was trying to keep it out of the hands of an Alil sidhe. Magni joined the Brotherhood of Thor and you had to deliver messages across country. Paeter received a draft card and your best friend, Varina, his sister, kept it hidden from him until after the festival. Oh, and the sidhe have started coming back ever since the Moon Landing! At first you weren’t sure how it was going to go but now it looks like not so swell. Most of them are terrible.  But one that wasn't is Davin, this really hunky Fiona sidhe who gave you your rose bracelet.  Then he hooked up with Magni at Woodstock.  You guess he plays for both teams.  He’s still gorgeous. You went to Woodstock! It was so much fun!  Afterward you went to New York City.  There you found out that Aldemar’s absentee father is really a priest that is the pedophile that hurt Girven and he has ties to your parents and the creepy guy who drugged Morrisey and filmed him in a xxx movie. And he’s been promoted to the head of the church in New York City.  And Peregrin’s parents are Soviet spies. Otherwise your time in New York was the best.  You had a loft above a brothel that Jojo secured for you through his prostitute mother’s contacts. It was so clean and perfect. Sigh. The brothel was raided so you went on the lamb. You squatted in these people’s apartment because they were away on a trip.  You watched a speech by Nixon and realized he’s a sidhe! And not one of the good ones by the look of it.  Paeter was shipped off to Vietnam and Windy is pregnant! You camped at a campground and met a bunch of other groovy fae.  Girvin really seemed to be hitting it off with an Eshu.  She invited you to go to the protests in DC.  After the protests some sidhe attacked, but Davin helped save you.  It was scary. When Magni checked in with the local Brotherhood branch Aldemar met the lead troll’s daughter, Lizzie, who is a knocker.  They went on a date. Speaking of dating, Euphenia and Quinlan totally did it.  They have some sort of open relationship.  She keeps getting information from people and you don’t even want to ask how.  Well, you do want to ask, but that would be impolite. You were staying with Lizzie and her parents and you went to go back to their house and Lizzie said there was something wrong.  You found out that these two really scary thugs called Rheum and Hauer (a redcap and troll respectively) had bound up her parents and was torturing them for information about your motely! Lizzie went for reinforcements from the Brotherhood and told you all to skip town. Varina did an Augury and saw the best place to go was New Orleans.  On the way there you bumped into that eshu that had been flirting with Girv.  She said she was going to Florida for the winter and hoped to see you all again. You went to New Orleans, but it was a real bummer. You found a place to stay at The House of the Rising Sun.  Then, that night, you were all sucked into The Dreaming.  You had to find your way out.  There was so many adventures there, but the important stuff is that the sidhe are taking over everywhere, they’ve already taken over the western US, there was a terrible event that made you feel banality even in the Dreaming, Varina is gay, and Paeter died in Vietnam.  You popped out off the Trod in some forest. Definitely not New Orleans.  Everyone is totally depressed, you included. You found a paper called The Mountain Gazette and it is dated October 29, 1971. That’s 2 years after you went into the Dreaming! 

Paeter

Paeter was the mentor and leader of the motley.  He is was an npc.  However, I thought it would be groovy if you all knew his background since he has ties to everyone in the motley.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Barnes was an officer in the army and Mary was his high school  sweetheart. They lived on the military bases that James was assigned to.  Within a year of being married, on May 2, 1948, James and Mary had their son, James Jr, or Jimmy as they liked to call him.

Before the Korean War began, when it was only a conflict, James was shipped out to work in Korea.  While he was away Mary was tragically killed in an auto accident when her car was driven off the road over a cliff onto the rocky shore.  Jimmy was thrown from the car when it rolled down the cliff side and was miraculously uninjured.  After Mary's death, James threw himself into his work trying to bury his grief with obligations and duty.  Jimmy was sent to live with James' elderly great aunt, Eleanor, until his father returned after the war.

Jimmy's time being raised by Auntie Eleanor was a magical time in his life.  Auntie Eleanor loved to tell stories and play pretend with him.  She taught him of duty, honor, and compassion.

Jimmy was 6 when James returned from Korea with his new wife, Young-ja, (though she prefers the American name she chose for herself: Carol).  Shortly after their homecoming Carol had his little sister, Hope.  Jimmy adored Hope.  He was always gentle with her and very protective of her.  He did a great job of shielding her from the majority of prejudice and racism that was cast her way since she was biracial.

Jimmy spent his summers alone with Auntie Eleanor.  Hope was too young and Carol could not bare to be separated from her.  Auntie Eleanor was very aged. Jimmy took care of her the last couple of summers of her life.  When Jimmy was 13, on the summer solstice, Auntie Eleanor said her final goodbyes and passed away.  This is when Jimmy had his chrysalis and recognized his fae self: a troll named Paeter.

Paeter was fostered by the Brotherhood of Thor in San Francisco.  After his fosterage he decided to help new fae that might not have been as fortunate as him to receive that help. Fae by fae he formed a motley he dubbed The Lost Boys as a play on his name and that of his girlfriend, Windy.  There were a couple that he lost along the way when the motley was just starting; one to banality and another wanted to go his own way.  He mentored kids as best he could and watched out for them always.

What is This About?

What is the Turn, Turn, Turn Chronicle?

A number of years ago I began to run a Changeling: The Dreaming game at Dun Dra Con gaming convention.  While it is an ongoing game with the same characters, the players have differed over the years and no prior experience is needed to play.

It was suggested I start a page to talk about what has gone on before. So I will attempt to do so here.

Turn, Turn, Turn begins in July 1969 when the moon landing sparked imaginations across the world and opened the trods in the Dreaming.  The shining host of sidhe have returned and this is how our motley, The Lost Boys, are living in this tumultuous time.

Over the next few posts (as I find time to write) I will describe the characters and the what has gone before.

This is a world of darkness.  The characters all have dark secrets.  Some are much more traumatic than others. This is my mature theme warning.
