When he’s locked in a clinch and has taken control of it, the character can not only inflict the normal amount of damage (see p. 202), but that damage is now lethal as well. A character can still choose to hold an opponent without inflicting damage, or he can choose to break the hold. He can even soften his touch and inflict bashing damage instead. The damage the character can inflict when his temper gets riled, though, is tremendous and often quite messy.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Divine Wrath</div><div class="spoiler_body">A Scion with the demigod range of Epic Strength already needs no weapons to inflict serious damage in combat, but a Scion with this Knack is even more fearsome. The prerequisite Knack enables him to inflict lethal damage during a clinch that he controls, and this Knack builds on that to awful effect. If the Scion spends a point of Legend during a clinch, he can make a single attack inflict aggravated damage instead of lethal. What’s more, his normal unarmed combat attacks now inflict lethal damage instead of bashing damage. Keep in mind that that lethal damage is now the standard damage he inflicts unarmed, regardless of whether he spends the point of Legend to make a single clinch’s damage aggravated. The Scion can pull his punches and inflict only bashing damage if he wants to, but doing so incurs the “Flat of the Blade” rule from page 199 of Scion: Hero.</div></div><br/><strong>DEXERITY</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">And the Crowd Goes Wild</div><div class="spoiler_body">By the luck of the divine genetic draw, the character is superbly suited to athletic pursuits. She excels at any sport she plays, even if she’s never so much as heard of it before. Running, jumping, climbing, swimming… any athletic pursuit is second nature to her. As a result, any dice the character has in Athletics are considered to be automatic successes when the player rolls a dice pool that includes Athletics. Bonus dice granted by an Arete (see Scion: Hero, p. 149) are also counted as successes automatically if the player spends a point of Legend when her character performs the action. Values that derive from a character’s Athletics rating (such as Dodge DV or the feats of strength total) are not affected by this Knack, nor are any Boon activation rolls that might call for Athletics </div></div><br/><strong>STAMINA</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Body Armor</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The Scion’s body is so tough that, even unarmed, he can parry close-combat attacks that would inflict lethal damage. If a berserker hopped up on Jotunblut or a thrall full of eitr tries to split the Scion’s skull with a fire ax, the Scion can take the blow on his forearm and knock it aside without serious injury. (That assumes the character’s Parry DV is sufficient to cancel out the attack roll’s successes, of course.) While that benefit remains in effect all the time, the Scion can also engage a temporary one that offers even more protection. With the expenditure of a Legend point, a measure of the Scion’s ichor wells up from within and coats the Scion’s body. This coating hardens into a gleaming, metallic armor that’s no thicker than a hair’s breadth. This armor has a bashing and lethal soak equal to the character’s Legend, and it inflicts a mobility penalty of only -1. The ichor coating is thin enough to fit comfortably beneath one’s clothing, so it adds its protective value to that of any other armor the character might already be wearing. Natural armor from this Knack lasts for only one scene and disintegrates at the scene’s end.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Self Healing</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Scion’s player spends a point of Legend to repair a single level of damage. That damage can be bashing or lethal, and the healing takes place in an instant without leaving a scar. (Aggravated damage is beyond the power of this Knack to heal.) Scions who are interested in building their reputation and spreading their legends quickly find this Knack to be one of the more effective tools of doing so, as bruises, lacerations and bullet holes vanish before astonished onlookers’ eyes </div></div><br/><strong>CHARISMA</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Girls Just Wanna Have Fun</div><div class="spoiler_body"> This Knack is a character’s trusty Get Out of Jail Free card. When the character gets into trouble with some angry witness or authority figure be it the police, a mortal parent, one’s long-suffering spouse, etc. he need only shrug haplessly, grin foolishly or do likewise. (His player also spends a point of Legend.) At that, the offended party decides that whatever the character did wasn’t really that bad. The character gets a slap on the wrist, a stern warning or no punishment at all, depending on when he chooses to use it. This Knack doesn’t work on anyone with a higher Legend rating, though. Also, if the character wants to use it against someone with an equal Legend rating, his player must roll (Charisma + Presence+ Legend) against a roll of the potential victim’s(Willpower + Integrity + Legend).</div></div><br/><strong>MANIPULATION</strong><br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Game Face</div><div class="spoiler_body">This Knack functions identically to Dreadful Mien (see Scion: Hero, p. 133), but functions for characters with positive Epic Appearance. Just because they’re handsome or beautiful doesn’t mean they can’t be scary as hell when they snarl at their foes or flash a razor-edged, you-know-I’m-going-to-kill-you smile.</div></div><br/><strong>PERCEPTION</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spatial Attunement</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Scion is so aware of his surroundings that his other senses (primarily those of hearing and smell) compensate for his eyes in identifying nearby objects outside his line of sight. The Scion could recognize the person sneaking up on him by that person’s telltale scent and mark exactly how far away that person is by the sound of his passing. With one quick glance around the room, the Scion could mark in his mind exactly where every wall and piece of furniture is within. Having done so, he could then navigate the room with his eyes closed, even slipping through a milling crowd of people without bumping into anyone or anything. To a certain extent, the character can perceive what’s going on around him in a 360-degree arc. Also, he suffers no penalties for fighting blind as long as he can hear or smell his opponents </div></div><br/><strong>INTELLIGENCE </strong> <br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fast Learner</div><div class="spoiler_body">By buckling down and intently studying certain subjects,the Scion internalizes them in a fraction of the time it would take a lesser intellect. In so doing, he cuts the experience point cost for purchasing dots in Academics, Medicine,Occult, Politics or Science in half, rounding down. </div></div><br/><strong>WITS</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Eternal Vigilance</div><div class="spoiler_body">Similar to the Environmental Awareness Knack(see p. 64), a Scion with this Knack is never taken by surprise by unexpected attacks. He joins battle as soon as the attack occurs, and he applies his full DV to his own defense. It doesn’t matter whether the attackers use supernatural means of concealment or not. They simply cannot catch him off guard. Unfortunately, this Knack doesn’t help the Scion’s comrades. The Scion reacts as the surprise occurs, but he does so practically subconsciously and not in time to warn anyone else. What’s more, this Knack works even if the Scion is asleep, though to a lesser extent. If the Scion is sleeping and someone tries to spring an unexpected attack, the player rolls the Scion’s full dice pool to notice the attack as he would if the character were awake (awake and didn’t have this Knack, that is). If the roll succeeds, the character wakes just in time to react to the attack, though still not in time to warn anyone else. </div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">BOONS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>CHAOS</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Eye of the storm</div><div class="spoiler_body">When the Scion finds herself caught up in a chaotic situation unrelated to her whether she’s dodging a tornado’s debris or emerging from a bar to find a berserk mob rushing toward her to clash with a line of riot cops down the street she can activate this Boon and become an island of calm in the tumult. She is miraculously untouched in the confusion, and she remains so for as long as she doesn’t actively involve herself. She still suffers normal environmental movement penalties, but environmental dangers such as falling rocks, stampeding beasts or thrashing rioters all fail to touch her. </div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">TRAITS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>VIRTUES</strong><br/>Duty •••<br/>[ ][ ][ ]<br/>Harmony •<br/>[ ]<br/>Intellect •<br/>[ ]<br/>Valor ••••<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/><strong>LEGEND</strong> ••<br/>Legend points: 4/4<br/><br/><strong>WILLPOWER</strong> ••••• •• <br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">COMBAT</div><div class="spoiler_body">Join Battle:5 [+1 auto] <br/>Dodge DV:6 <br/><br/><strong>SOAK</strong><br/>Bashing:5 <br/>Lethal:3 <br/>Aggravated:1 <br/><br/><strong>ATHLETIC</strong><br/>Move:6<br/>Dash:13<br/>Vertical Leap:8 <br/>Horizontal Leap:16 <br/>Lift:650lbs [+500lbs]<br/><br/><strong>WOUNDS</strong><br/>[][][] 0<br/>[][] -2<br/>[] -4<br/>[] Inc</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">WEAPONS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Clinch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>5<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>14[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>8B/L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong> P<br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Light punch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>3<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>14[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>8L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>6<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong><br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Heavy punch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>4<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>13[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>11L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>5<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong><br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong><br/><strong>SPD:</strong><br/><strong>ACC:</strong> <br/><strong>DAM:</strong><br/><strong>DEF:</strong><br/><strong>RNG:</strong><br/><strong>Tags:</strong></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">TROPHIES</div><div class="spoiler_body">None for now</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">PERMANENT FATEBONDS</div><div class="spoiler_body">None for now</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">BONUS/EXP SPENT</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>BONUS</strong><br/>4-Strength<br/>4-Stamina<br/>2-Brawl [4,5]<br/>1-Melee [2]<br/>3-Self Healing<br/>3-Divine Wrath<br/>3-Tinkerbell Tattoo<br/><br/><strong>EXP</strong></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">HISTORY</div><div class="spoiler_body">“So you want to know about my life before joining the MMA?”  Lan-Mei asks as she looks at the reporter.<br/><br/>“Well yes I do or more accurately your fans do.”  the reporter replies back as he gives a small smile. “Tell you what how about we start with something small like how did you get your nickname?”<br/><br/>“Oh well that is rather simple as it is a variation of my name. If you translate my name into English you would get Sapphire Beauty but the color sapphire is considered to be very unlucky in my country.”  Lan-Mei replies as she returns the smile.<br/><br/>“Ah I see and someone who is unlucky is sometimes referred to as a jinx. Is that it?” the reporter asks as the meaning behind her name finally dawns on him.<br/><br/>“Yep that is exactly it.”  Lan-Mei says as she gives a small chuckle. “I am the Unlucky Beauty.”  <br/><br/>“Well that is all very interesting but what the fans are really wondering about is where did you come from. I mean you are an excellent fighter and could very well become one of the top if not the top female MMA fighter known yet no one knows anything about your past aside from the fact that you where born somewhere in China.”<br/><br/>Lan-Mei looks at the reporter for several moments before she finally speaks. “Well to be honest I have no idea why people are interested in my past but I will tell you what I can.”<br/><br/>Leaning forward in her chair and placing her elbows on her knees she rests her head in her hands as she continues to speak. “Well the first thing you must understand is I never knew my parents as they died not to long after my birth quite literally from what little information I was able to gather. According to what I was able to dig up I was the only survivor of the massacre that occurred at the brothel I was born at. They say that some crazed cult believed the site held some mystical power and wanted to use the sin of the brothel to raise their unholy Master.”<br/><br/>“Wait just a moment.”  The reporter says as he holds up his hand to stop her. “Let me get this straight you were born in a brothel during a massacre?”<br/><br/>“Yea, according to what little bit of information I was able to piece together.”  Lan-Mei replies with a  shrug of her shoulders. “I mean the Chinese government is known to cover up things to the outside world so I am not surprised if it's not generally known to the public. Hell it took me some years just to find out that much.”<br/><br/>“Alright then please continue.”  <br/><br/>“Right as I was saying I never knew my parents and seeing as I was a newborn I got the joy of being raised in a state run orphanage. Now as bad as they try to make them sound in the news I have to say that I was treated rather well. I am not saying I didn't have problems but overall I had a well adjusted childhood growing up in there.”<br/><br/>Stopping for a moment she furls her brow as if she was thinking about something. “You know now that I think about it they may have been given me preferential treatment due to the fact that I was very sickly as a child. I remember having to spend most of my early years in the hospital until I was around age four. Of course after that I never gotten sick again not so much as a a common cold.”<br/><br/>“So you actually did not enter into the orphanage until then?”<br/><br/>“Correct I was still a ward of the state but I was simply stuck in a hospital for the first part of my youth, but yes as far as being in the orphanage itself I did not enter it until I was four.”  <br/><br/>“Well I must say that you have already lived up to your nickname and we have not even got to your teenage years yet. I can't wait to hear what happened during that time.”  The reporter replies as he shakes his head.<br/><br/>Lan-Mei leans back in her chair and lets out a hearty laugh, “That is so very true but thankfully my tragedies do not get worse after that. In fact they became somewhat normal from the viewpoint of an orphan.”  <br/><br/>The reporter gives Lan-Mei a quizzical look. “You know you seem to take your past very lightly considering all that has happened to you.”<br/><br/>“Oh no do not get me wrong I do take my past very seriously for it's what shaped me into the person I am today. If not for those tragedies I would not have the strength to fight for what I believe in and not for the people who guided me and taught me right from wrong I would not have the morals I needed to be such an upstanding person.”<br/><br/>“Oh I see well then lets talk about the ones who have helped you to be who you are and how they shaped you.”  the reporter replies.<br/><br/>“Um sure I can do that.”  Lan-Mei replies, “I guess the first person to change my life would be the nurse who took care of me during my hospital stay. She was a very devout christian and she would read the bible to me every night before bed. In fact she was the one who taught me to read and write English using that very same bible.”<br/><br/>“Wow I've heard of people learning to read and write using the bible but you mean you actually did it as a second language by the time you was four that is pretty amazing. So did that cause any trouble with you learning your native tongue”<br/><br/>“Oh no not at all. I mean she would speak to me in Mandarin but once I was older she started teaching me other things like English, math the sciences and what have you. She felt that just because I could not physically move that didn't mean I should not develop my mental skills.”<br/><br/>“So she helped you to form your moral compass as well as helped you in your education. So who else helped you as you grew up. In particular how did you develop your unique combat style?” <br/><br/>“Ah yes that.”  Lan-Mei says as small smirk crosses her face. “Remember earlier when I said that I had to deal with the basic problems all orphans faced. Well the biggest thing that we had to deal with was the local gangs wanting to use us as mules to carry their products whether it be drugs, guns or what have you. Well I was the stubborn fool who would always tell them to go to hell and proceeded to take an ass whooping for it but it taught me how to fight even if I lost more than I'd win.”<br/><br/>“So you'd end up spending more time in the hospital I take it?”<br/><br/>“Well not really spending time. After all if I had broken bones then I couldn't be used as a mule but I'd have quite a few bruises and scrapes but it did toughen me up.”  <br/><br/>“Anyway I eventually got pretty good at defending myself to the point that I'd actually win more than I lost and that brought me to the attention of this older lady from the neighborhood. To tell the truth when I first met her I did not know what to think of her but she took me in and....”<br/><br/>“And taught you an ancient martial art right?”  the reporter blurted out.<br/><br/>“No actually she didn't.”  Lan-Mei replied as she gave the reporter a playful wink. “Apparently the way I moved reminded her of the days from back when she was a member of the Peking opera house and she felt that I had the skills to become a member so she taught me the art of dancing, singing, and even gave me some training in acrobatics.” <br/><br/>“Wait so you became a member of the Peking opera. How did you go from that to the MMA?”<br/><br/>“I never did actually become a member of the opera house though I did study with them for a few years and it was there that I got the start of my training in combat but in the end I just didn't have the acting chops to make the cut. After that I got a job at a local mechanics shop and it was during that time that I started to truly learn how to fight.”<br/><br/>“Do tell?”  the reporter says as he sits forward in his chair.<br/><br/>“Well that local gang I mentioned earlier they had gotten quite a bit larger during the years I was away and they still had a beef with me for humiliating them and wanted payback.”  Lan-Mei said as her eyes glaze over as she starts to go back in time.<br/><br/>“So one night as I was leaving the shop after close a few of the tougher members came up on me and they where looking for blood. I used the skills I had learned to give them a good scrap but frankly I was way out numbered and out skilled. The next thing I felt was the coldness of the blade as it sliced into my gut right before darkness overtook me.”<br/><br/>“So I take it that is were the scar you kiss  right be.....”  the reporter starts to say until Lan-Mei stares him down.<br/><br/>“You got it that is the scar I kiss right before my matches.”  she finally says after a few moments of silence. More so to make sure that she was not interrupted again. “Anyway I woke up a a few days later but not in a hospital. Instead I was in someones house and that person was actually in the process of changing the bandages on my wound.”<br/><br/>The reporter look as if he wanted to say something but holds his tongue.<br/><br/>“Did you wish to say something?”<br/><br/>“Actually yes why did this person not take you to the hospital and who where they anyway?”  the reporter finally blurted out.<br/><br/>“Well that is simple because the person who rescued me was the nurse that took care of me back when I was ill as a child.”<br/><br/>“Oh.....well then I guess she would know how to treat a stab wound then”<br/><br/>“Yes she would but it turned out that she knew more than that it seems.”  Lan-Mei says with a grin. “Not only was she a devout christian but she also had a fascination with oriental fighting and held belts in multiple styles. In fact she had developed her own unique style using what she had learned and after seeing me hold my own against those gang members decided that I would be her first student that she would teach it to.”<br/><br/>“So is there anything else?”  the reporter asks after Lan-Mei was quiet for several minutes.<br/><br/>“Well maybe...”  Lan-Mei replies, “But I think I'd save that for another day.”  </div></div><br/><br/>
