Class Abilities
Become possessed by the deadly presence within you, gaining huge magical power and healing yourself while causing magical harm.
Max Essence Cost: High
Max Duration: High
Cooldown: Mid
Paired Action: Portray aTurning Point showing your character overwhelmed by fear, hatred, or a similar negative emotion. Must act unpredictably malicious and destructive while this ability lasts.
- Up to dramatically boosts all damaging Manifestations the user produces and similarly reduces limitations on how often Manifesting can be done.
≫ These boosts scale on the poignancy of the Paired Action; Essence Cost and Duration ALSO scale up in this way.
≫ Healing receive disproportionate to the amount of harm caused by a given magic and is NOT limited to just Manifestation. - This is an incredibly potent Altered State – the user should be all but unrecognizable in their behavior, though they may still work towards the same loose goals.
Spare a single person from the evil within you and protect them with a shadowy magical barrier while they remain close.
Essence Cost: Mid
Max Duration High
Cooldown: Mid
Paired Action: Portray a Turning Point demonstrating genuine gratitude, appreciation, or similar wholesome, positive feelings for chosen person.
- Renders target completely immune to ALL harm and negative effects sourced from you, including all your Gear, Abilities, Manifestations, etc. While they are directly interacting with you in a genuinely uplifting manner, your Defiance is substantially enhanced.
- Magical barrier will only appear when target is threatened; provides substantial protection against physical and magical threats alike.
≫ This, plus Fill the Void’s other effects, fades over a Low Duration if the target moves too far away to regularly interact with the user. - Cooldown begins on use, but only one target can be affected at a time.
Learn a personal secret about another person from an uncanny, disembodied voice; sharing this secret with others, however, will bring out the worst in them.
Essence Cost: Mid
Cooldown: Mid
Paired Action: Specify the target and topic you are interested in to your Conduit, then pause ominously as the voice enters your mind.
- This secret may ONLY be shared privately; doing so will “corrupt” the recipient, subtly exaggerating their worst personal flaws over time.
- The more brooding/introspective the target, the deeper the secrets that can be learned; if targeting another Player-Character, be sure to ask permission first.
- Any other Player whose character you are closely interacting with (or the Conduit, in the case of an NPC) may, with your permission, activate this ability on THEIR OWN character (though they cannot use it to learn secrets about you). This uses THEIR Essence pool and puts Insidious Whispers on a Low Cooldown.
≫ This will additionally “corrupt” the new user (as above) alongside any who they share the learned as normal (including you).
Signature Gear
Modest, religious dress offering decent magical protection; makes others inclined to perceive the user as pure, blessed, or even sacred.
Ornamental blade, impractical for combat. Fittingly incorporate into a drawn-out Paired Action (ritualistically draw blood, slice up herbs, etc.) to somewhat improve that Ability’s power.
Ethereal weapon, costing Essence rather than Stamina to wield. User may choose the size and shape when drawn, with larger iterations being proportionately more taxing. Bypasses physical defenses, instead girded against by courage and strength of character.
Set of consecrated candles (max 3 per mission), magically lit at will. Each steadily works to dispel/suppress lingering non-ally magics nearby while lit – the longer it is kept in a single area, the more thoroughly it cleanses it. Mid Duration.
Appearance
She's as pale as a ghost with a soft smile on her face. Although her eyes are a piercing green, they exude a sense of calm and understanding unbefitting of the words she says. Her hair is in a neat black bob. She wears a purple cloak that covers most of her body and hides a locked collar she wears around her neck. She stands at 5'3".
When she's unleashed her essence of Torog, her eyes glow red and she rips off her cloak. Her skin is mottled with red patches in the shape of blood spatters that dried on her skin and stayed like that.
Background
Torra is the happiest little cultist you've ever met. When she was young, she learned the gospel of Torog, the god of torture and revenge, by getting kidnapped by a group worshiping them alongside some of her childhood bullies who had been picking on her. She took satisfaction in watching her bullies suffer, and was thus offered to be turned into a convert despite her young age. Through being around Torog's influence during the transformational time of her childhood, she was blessed with a part of his essence to be a means of enforcing his will on the world.
Her sect believes that when one has been wronged, punishment ought to be dealt back tenfold. She interprets this as it being her responsibility to go help victims of crime and suffering get the revenge they have rightfully earned. She's more than happy to be their instrument to do so. Despite her god's proclivities, she's rather friendly and happy go lucky. She doesn't understand why people are so put off by what she does when they could always try to strike her down if that made them feel better, but she'll continue to do it regardless.
When possessed by Torog she is overcome by rage and the desire to enact vicious cruelties onto others. While her main targets are whoever she feels is most deserving of punishment, she has no problems with collateral damage even when it comes to those she considers allies.
Flavor
Ceremonial Raiment: A purple cloak with a symbol of a screaming dragon with chains wrapped around it on the back
