So, I've been in a game of Mage, and after almost a month of hiatus this gets sprung on me.
Everyone is rerolling their characters based on new rules for the Arcana, among other things.

We're all mechanically Banishers, in that we get ten extra merit dots, and but we're also allowed Order status for rotes. That was mostly already in place. What's changing is that the nWoD Mage Paths are being tossed out. We now get to choose our Major Arcana ourself, and then our Inferior Arcana is randomly rolled from the rest. I'm new to things, and I choe Moros. I didn't really look over much more than Death and Matter, and so now I'm into the corner, not sure of what to pick.

My character is a detective who uses his magic to solve crimes and catch killers, usually of a supernatural nature. In fact, the first thing we had tossed at us was a murder case. A serial killer going around and cutting people open, looking for something, and all sorts of supernatural hoodoo that went along with it. He moved from Paris to Strasbourg to become the Godfather of his old friend's children: a 15 year old daughter, and a 20 year old adopted son. His main motive is to be a good father to his new Goddaughter, and to keep people, (in particular the Sleepers who can't protect themselves) out of danger.
