Reposting my old thread. Sebatian Var Engriss >Court Rank Bodyguard 12P, 6L, 5I >Loyalty To Princess Sira of Sorolona. +4L >Personal Powers (12P) Superhuman Strength (2) Should be strong enough to repel most threats. Superhuman Agility (3) Going to need that to stop arrows or poisoned darts. Enduring Lifeforce (3) I'll need to protect her for her natural life, so I need to be in the best shape possible. Wherever Needed (2) Being there is just a phase of existence. Superhuman Durability (2) I will take the hits for her, so I need to be tough. Superhuman Intellect (1) Going up against this spymaster, I'll need to be smart. Legendary Weapon and Armour (2) Always good to have these close. Arts of Arcane (1) Always good to have a trump card Total 16 (-4) >Intrigue Powers (5I) Uncanny Senses (2) Will keep any attempts at bay. Unassuming Shape (2) They may sense me, but they won't see me. Operational Leeway (1) What the Princess doesn't know won't hurt her. Visions of the Present (1)

I'll need to know if anything happens. Total 6 (-1) >Leadership Powers (10L) Magical Education (1) There is much to learn, about the arcane… Historical Education (1) About the past of man… Combat Veteran (1) About the ways of war… Environmental Degree (1) About the world itself… Secret Hideout (1) Always need a safe place to escape to. Escape Charm and Resurrection Stone (2) The stone is one time insurance but the escape charm only has one charge but with my magical background, I hope I can recharge it somehow. Inspiring Presence (1) Anyone around me will be calm and competent under my command. Earl Jorn Blackbay (2) He'll help me in times of war Eric Keirstrat (2) While Eric can help me keep tabs on above and help me in knowing what's going on. Sandra Tenneman (2) Another act of insurance in case I fail, she'll make a good second to train up. Total 14L (-4) >Fates Now we need to pay for -4P -1I and -4L Escort Mission +1I Let's say Sira was magically abducted. I get to her and we escape but we're far from home. This will be hard but raw physical talent should be enough to get us back. Forbidden Love +2L All that time together talking on those long nights lighted something. Being so far from home for the first time, Sira finally got to see the outside world and even if it was dangerous, she felt safe with me. Thus her affection upon returning. And in a moment of weakness, I forget my place. Unpopular Opinions +1P Naturally the above Spymaster would pick up on this and spread it around as a rumour, slandering not only me but Sira as well. This starts a long downward spiral for the both of us. Primary Suspect +1P Vera accuses me of corrupting her daughter and overstepping my bounds as her guardian. This ostracises me from the inner circle of the Crown. But I will still keep Sira safe. Betrayal Most Foul +2L But I couldn't keep her safe. Vera and her spymaster spring their trap, separating Sira and I and having myself eliminated. They infiltrate Eric's spy network to find Sira's location, but luckily Sandra fought to keep her safe and Jorn mapped a route to the safehouse where they could hide. It will be necessary for us to be apart for awhile but… >Challenges Shadow from the Mount +2P This is where I become the Big Damn Hero that saves the kingdom. Magic users can't get under the volcano but someone like me who uses brawn can. With putting petty grudges aside, Vera and her Spymaster will help me determine what's under it, Jorn can help me devise a plan and I can go and stop it. Then I go back to guarding Sira and the politics begin anew… Totals: 0P 0I 0L https://archive.is/ukSo1

>>1384 Wren the Spymaster >Court Rank Spymaster 5P, 6L, 12I >Loyalty Queen Vira of Sorolona, +2P. Personal Powers, 7P Whereever Needed (3) Where I need to be. Superhuman Intellect (3) Every plan, every detail. Arts of Arcana (1) Magic is useful. Aura of Attraction (1) To manupulate Vera and the general public. Total: 8 (-1) Intrigue Powers, 12I Unnatural Stealth (2) I will need this to move about Arts of Alchemy (2) What I will need to make a convincing enough dummy Spy Network (2) I need to know everything that happens on Sorolona. Forign Informants (2) Sorolona and the coast. I need eyes everywhere Arts of Illusion (2) To make Vera appear human Uncanny Senses (2) I need flawless senses, to make sure they can see that she looks alive. Operational Leeway (2) This is using her authority, if that crumbles, so does this.

Power of the Mind (2) To convince everyone that she's still alive Total: 16 (-4) Leadershp Powers, 6L Magical Education (1) I don't have time to learn Resurrection Stone (1) I tried to use this. She wouldn't wake... It still shines bright. Mikhail Jansen (2) I need a teacher, someone I can share the secret with Mask of Marks (2) Any who know need to die. Total: 0 (0) Drawkbacks: It wasn't supposed to be like this. I started the same as him, even on the same island. Yet his charge was alive and mine was... I did everything I could to wake her but it didn't work. The Ressurection stone, Alchemy potions, master level magical spells. All fail to wake her. Weakening Curse for Vera (+1I) She was like that when I got to her. A permenant sleep state. If the court found out that their queen was asleep, they'd try to grap for power. So I did what I could. I fashioned a fake body and put it on the throne. using Illusion, Mentalism and Alchemical substances, it makes it appear as if she's alive. But I and my inner circle know she's asleep. Unpopular Opinion (+1P) Dark Accusation (+1I) But I know the way they look at me. Why can no-one see Vera in her chambers, why always in open court with me at her side? They do not know or suspect yet that does not stop the rumors that I have done something to her. It's beginning to get to the point where simple blackmail and people disappearing arn't enough. They want to see Vera out in the open. Primary Suspect (+1I) Of course he would come back with her. He'd not fail her, he never would. The rumors and slander are enough to drive them apart for a time but I see the way she looks at him. Sira herself makes a request to see Vera. And I can not turn her down. But before she gets to the chambers, that's when it happens. Followed Through (+1I) The thing that made her sleep. I don't know what it did but it found a more ready source of power under the volcano. And now it's sucking up the ambiant engery and growing, enouch to destablise the volcano and blow Sorolona into the dust of history. There's not much I can do except tell him about what it was that hurt Vera and what awaits him under the volcano. Maybe with the truth, it'll make all the lies worth something. Totals: 0P 0I 0L

Eric Keirstrat (2) A good second if I've ever seen one, he can handle a large network for me too. Total: 8L (0) >Fates What can I say? I'm a dancer by nature. Berthold took me in, saying he needed people he could trust to get him information on his trade deals. That was fine by me, travelling at the Crown's expense? What girl doesn't dream of that. And so I danced as far as I could, took what I could, memorised what I could. And it was such a fun time. With my information, Berthold was able to make deals to secure his kingdom's independence. They needed him and with Esther protecting him, everything was fun. > Bones from the Earth (+2P) But then came the day I stopped receiving messages. When Berthold's words no longer sang in my ears. I rushed home and saw it engufled from flames from below. And there was nothing I could do, no dance I could do that would make them go back into the dark. I danced for those that remained but if felt like a hollow and empty gesture. Yet still, even among the sadness, there was beauty in it. Totals: 0P, 0I, 0L
