				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/llYHGdl.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Cecropia<br><strong>Race:</strong> Moth<br><strong>Traits:</strong> Fluffy wings, pheromone antennae, a layer of ceramic chitin that looks like a very literal interpretation of the phrase 'porcelain skin'.<br><strong>Flaw:</strong> Perfectionism. If she's not perfect, then she's worthless. She tries to stop thinking this, but it can be hard sometimes.<br><br><strong>Concept:</strong> (Former) Envoy of the Uniformity's Perfection. Sent out to convince others to join them, literally bred for social manipulation, but developed some independence after spending time in the outside world and eventually fled (possibly freeing a certain mimic on her way out). Outwardly always calm and collected, but secretly has absolutely no idea what she's supposed to do now. Thinking for herself seemed like such a great idea, but she's at a complete loss of how to actually do this whole 'free will' thing.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Calm and collected. Bounces between stubbornly rebellious and desperate to please. Hides it fairly well but is confused by most things and is torn between wanting to think for herself and going back to having someone else in command of her will.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Trained since birth (and the circumstances of that birth arranged for this purpose) as a more subtle way to spread Uniformity across the world, Cecropia has always been a mistress of social manipulation whether by logical argument or blatant seduction. Whatever it took to accomplish the goals of the Uniformity was acceptable, and she spent several years obeying the will of that power without question or thought. She was good at what she did and not needing to think or decide anything for herself was a wonderful sensation. Yet while she tempted and encouraged many to join her in the joy of mindless obedience, the outside world started to affect her in return. Although she was recalled for reconditioning and to have these intrusive thoughts wiped from her mind, this came jus slightly too late and she made the first choice in her life as she ran, freeing several prisoners as she went, both for their benefit and hopefully to serve as distractions for those who would pursue her. This seems, so far, to have worked.<br><br><strong> Primary stats</strong><br>Alertness:&nbsp; 1d6<br>Charm: 3d6<br>Power: 0d6<br>Cunning: 2d6<br>Spirit: 1d6<br><br><strong>Health:</strong> 6<br><strong>Willpower:</strong> 3<br><strong>Experience:</strong><br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br>Mikayla: Useful<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br><br>Weapons (4): Advanced Concealed Fangs<br><br>Armour (4): Disguised Stone Skin<br><br>Tool (1): Language Tome<br><br>Resource (1+1): Treasure, Elaborate wardrobe<br><br><strong>Moves:</strong><br>All Basic<br>Both Tragic Flaw<br><br>Battle: Backstab<br>Social: Beguile, Courtship<br>Special: Agile Flyer, Supernatural Allure<br>Archetype: Connections, Drain the Blood

She’s a ferocious protector, able to transform from quiet companion to a beast of teeth and tentacles.<br><br>She favors the appearance of a small human woman wearing an armored leather corset over a dress, unthreatening and forgettable.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Mikayla has never lived without someone directing her. She’s clever and cunning, but she’s finally learning that the world isn’t what her masters told her and it would be so much easier if someone just told her what to do.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> As an agent of the Silken, Mikayla served as a spy and assassin for the Lady of Veils. A mission went wrong and she wound up captured by the Uniformity. During her interrogation and indoctrination, a Heroine rescued her and a number of other prisoners.<br><br>She’d been an agent of Chaos, she’d seen what Order demanded, but for the first time she saw the wide world as she traveled from the Uniformity’s symmetrical citadel. <br><br>Mikayla didn’t return to the Lady of Veils. It had been pleasurable, to be sure. She took satisfaction in carrying out her missions, in the challenge, in the glee that it gave the Lady. Seeing the suffering in the world, though, gave her pangs of conscience she’d never felt chomping on pampered nobles and pitting them against one another.<br><br>Unsure what cause to champion now, Mikayla sees the other Heroines are a good place to start. Perhaps one of them is a worthy role model to mimic or a leader to serve.<br><br><strong> Primary stats</strong><br>Alertness:&nbsp; 1d6<br>Charm: 1d6<br>Power: 2d6<br>Cunning: 3d6<br>Spirit: 0d6<br><br><strong>Health:</strong> 6<br><strong>Willpower:</strong> 3<br><strong>Experience:</strong> 1<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br>Lady of Veils - History<br>Cecropia - Gratitude<br>Flaxie - Distrust<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Honed War Fangs (6 harm, 4 gold)<br>Liquid Body (3 armor, 3 gold)<br>Leather Armor (1 armor, 1 gold)<br>2 Treasures (just peek inside my treasure chest ~~~~ )<br><br><strong>Moves:</strong><br>Combat: Backstab<br>Social: Deceive, Seek Counsel (she wants to be told what to do)<br>Archetype: Great Beast (she can hulk out for combat), Follow The Lead (+1 if she’s obeying orders)<br>Special: Transform (obviously), Binding Threads (representing her tentacles)<br>

				Still subject to revision, but here she is.<br><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/bSLhsnS.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Flaxelina (Flaxie) Coton<br><strong>Race:</strong> Cloth Spirit<br><strong>Traits:</strong> Crimson eyes, flowing hair and wardrobe. Always wears red of some sort, even when otherwise completely undressed.<br><strong>Flaw:</strong> Impatience - Flaxelina is intensely impulsive, and rarely thinks things through.<br><br><strong>Concept:</strong> Flaxelina is a cloth spirit from the Silken. Her powers are fueled by cloth, which is converted into Aether and then absorbed by her as sustenance. This of course causes the cloth to disappear into thin air, much to the chagrin of the person who was just wearing it.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> While she is not necessarily evil, she is somewhat selfish, dangerously impulsive, and given to indulging her appetites in spreading chaos and devouring cloth.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Flaxie was once a bale of cotton in a tribute being sent to the emissaries of the Silken by a ruler who wished to destabilize his neighbor. Unfortunately for him, the spies of the neighboring kingdom learned of the caravan, ambushed it, and killed all the guards. The blood seeped into the cotton, imbuing it with sentience and power.<br><br>The Silken were so pleased with the results that they granted the tributary king his wish, quietly submerging his enemies into a devastating civil war that eventually engulfed and destroyed both kingdoms. Flaxelina, however, got bored. Even the Silken, for all their devotion to chaos seem to like to give orders. And Flaxie didn’t like to take them. <br><br>So now she’s an independent. The Silken would probably be more concerned about this, but since the Cloth Spirit tends to leave a mess in her wake, catching her hasn’t really been a priority as of yet.<br><br><strong> Primary stats</strong><br>Alertness:&nbsp; 1xd6<br>Charm: 2xd6<br>Power: 1xd6<br>Cunning: 3xd6<br>Spirit: 0x6<br><br><strong>Health:</strong>6<br><strong>Willpower:</strong>3<br><strong>Experience:</strong>0<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br>Mikayla - Interest<br>Pascal - Protectiveness<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Sword (Concealed)<br>Cloth (Leather Armor, Disguised)<br>Trophies<br>Repair Kit<br>Elaborate Wardrobe<br>Gifts and Tidings<br>Large Traps<br>Overland Provisions<br><br><br><strong>Moves:</strong><br>Basic Moves: All<br>Flaw Moves: All<br>Battle Moves: Backstab<br>Social Moves: Deceive, Beguile<br>Special Moves: Transformation, Binding Thread<br>Archetype Moves: (Wyrdling): Warp Reality, Aegis<br><br>

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/fdee/i/2015/302/5/c/hydra_by_basilisk193-d9erruo.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Chorus<br><strong>Race:</strong> Hydra<br><strong>Traits:</strong> Scaly Tail (replaces legs), Many Tentacles (add'l heads)<br><strong>Flaw:</strong> Vanity. Fawn over your appearance, spend time looking your best, become distracted by yourself.<br><br><strong>Concept:</strong> Chorus is a Priestess on walkabout after the destruction of her temple by an outbreak of Uniformity. While she believes in the Silken god/dess known as the Supple One, she has (somewhat involuntarily) become a tender and protector of others in need. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Chorus is an unsubtle woman. She isn't quiet about her expectations or her emotions, and she definitely isn't quiet about the hardships of living life on the road. At the temple, she was groomed to her position since a very young age, and she misses the indolent life. Loudly and constantly.<br><br><strong>History: </strong>Chorus grew up as an acolyte of the Silken god/dess known as The Supple One. As far back as she can remember, she was part of a semi-familial community at the temple, daughter of a priestess and bound to be a priestess. And it was enjoyable. Much time was spent in seeking physical beauty and trying to create beauty and comfort in the world around the temple, which generally was to the benefit of the nearby village. <br><br><del>But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.</del><br><br>A crusade of the Uniformity rolled across the countryside, and when it had passed, so had the time of the temple and most of those who dwelled within it. Chorus was fortunate enough to've been granting blessings and healing to those who'd done battle in the temple's defense. She doesn't know how they got her out after she was struck down. She doesn't remember anything. She woke beside the road, and those who had protected her were dead around her.<br><br>The Supple One favors the flexible as well as the beautiful, and Chorus believes that her god/dess knew full well that the destruction of the temple would place her on the road. Ergo, this is where her god/dess wants her, and the problems she faces are problems her god/dess wishes her to deal with...And if she finds them personally challenging and sometimes demeaning, then she just has to try to be the better person for the benefit of those around her. As such, when she is at her best, she is less about taking sides between the major powers and more about aiding and comforting those who the road sets before her. At her worst, she is proud, haughty and sometimes even condescending to those who need help.<br><br><strong>Primary Stats</strong><br><strong>Alertness:</strong> 1d6<br><strong>Charm:</strong> 2d6 (+1?)<br><strong>Power:</strong> 1d6<br><strong>Cunning:</strong> 0d6<br><strong>Spirit:</strong> 3d6<br><br><strong>Health:</strong> 6<br><strong>Willpower:</strong> 3<br><strong>Experience:</strong> 0<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Weapons - Fangs (3 harm, 1 gold)<br>Armor - Scaly Skin (+1 armor, 1 gold)<br>Armor - Leather Armor (+1 armor, 1 gold)<br>Tool - Ritual Accoutrements (2 gold)<br>Tool - Tent (1 gold)<br>Resource - Elaborate Wardrobe (Impressive) (1 gold)<br>Resource - Religious Icon (Impressive, Portable) (1 gold)<br>Resource - Essence Stone (Aura, Consumed, Alchemy, Power Pool) (2 gold)<br><br><strong>Moves:</strong> <br><strong>Battle:</strong> Arcane<br><strong>Social:</strong> Beguile<br><strong>Special:</strong> Super Ability - Gigamagic (Spirit)<br><strong>Priest:</strong> Warding<br><strong>Priest:</strong> Healing Ritual<br><strong>Wyldling:</strong> Aegis<br><strong>Socialite:</strong> Bard

Nothing will stop her no matter the odds.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>Despite her driven nature and drive to improve, inwardly there’s a good hearted person within who wants to help others in her own way. Pretty damn blunt though, she’ll take the more direct action available.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Born the weakest of her clutch, her blue scaled marked her as a runt compared to brilliant crimson or the deep ebon of her siblings. Told she’d always be a runt – she was told it was never worth training herself, never worth bettering herself.<br><br>She loathed that very thought. Loathed it so much, that she trained and hardened and honed herself into the best warrior she possibly could be. Claws and fists became deadly weapons, horns became spears, and wild flailing and kicking became powerful strikes and flowing motions of deadly beauty. <br><br>Old enough to make a name for herself, that’s exactly what she sought to do. Whether that was dying a fool or living to become a hero and champion of her own personal cause, Xiaoling would stop at nothing and felt she only needed allies and friends to help her prove her worth… Or die trying. <br><br><strong> Primary stats</strong><br>Alertness:&nbsp; 1d6<br>Charm: 1d6<br>Power: 3d6<br>Cunning: 0d6<br>Spirit: 2d6<br><br><strong>Health:</strong> 6<br><strong>Willpower:</strong> 3<br><strong>Experience:</strong><br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Honed War Claws (+6 harm)<br>Scale<br>Scale Vambrace<br>Repair Kit<br>Regional Map<br>Healing Salve<br><br><strong>Moves:</strong><br><br>Basic Moves<br>Tragic Flaws<br>Melee<br>Threaten<br>Regenerate<br>Specialist (Natural Weapons)<br>Weapon Blast<br>Fortitude<br>Duelist<br><br><br>
