My times are ALWAYS Interesting

MANTLE

Jade Court Infected (Supernatural Scale)

Killed by a Jade Court vampire’s feeding, for whatever reason your dying breath was prevented from escaping your body. You have risen again as a Jade Courted Infected. You now have some of their powers and their hunger for Qi Energy. Killing will transform you fully into a vampire. Create your character according to the Pure Mortal mantle of your preference and then add the below conditions and stunts, which operate at Supernatural scale (page 182).

One-Percenter (Mundane Scale)

You are among the wealthiest people in your society, whether from success in business, an inheritance, simple luck, or a combination of the three.

UNIQUE CONDITIONS:

Hungry: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] X

Mark one of this condition’s five boxes to power vampiric stunts. If you are taken out while Hungry, the consequences could be dire: the GM may determine that you embark on a feeding frenzy, killing nearby mortals. The good news, if any, is that the Hungry track clears immediately.

To otherwise clear Hungry, you must feed: establish an advantage on your target (e.g., Grappled), and then realize a successful attack. Unlike White Court vampires who must feed on a specific type of energy, your feeding on life energy has no such restrictions. Therefore, the subsequent feeding has only two possible degrees of intensity:

• Your victim takes a condition representing physical harm. Clear two boxes for a sticky condition, four for a lasting one.
• Your victim dies. Clear Hungry and, at the next minor milestone, you become a full Jade Court vampire.

Wealthy (sticky): [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

As represented by five condition boxes, you have access to material wealth allowing the upper hand when navigating society. Mark a box when you use your wealth, as described by your stunts. Recover one box of this condition at the beginning of every session. When your wealth is the most direct means to achieve a goal, you may also use Wealthy as a unique approach with a bonus of +1 for every unmarked box. Whenever you use Wealthy as an approach, mark one box regardless of the outcome.

CORE STUNTS

Vampiric Physique:

When brute strength or sheer speed is requisite, call upon your vampiric nature to gain a bonus of +2 per box of Hungry marked. Furthermore, any physical actions taken may (per the GM) include scale (page 182) regardless of whether Hungry is used.

Big Spender:

If your financial strength can be usefully applied to a situation, you may mark boxes of Wealthy as free invokes. You may also mark a box of Wealthy to create an aspect, subject to GM approval: for example, create a Greedy aspect for the doorman at an exclusive club, and then use Wealthy to bribe them for entrance.

Consumerism:

Mark one or more boxes of Wealthy to declare ownership of something when its need arises. One box suffices for any commonly available good. Three boxes permits ownership of a rare, restricted, specialty, or luxury item. Marking all five boxes indicates possession of something like land, a building, or a corporation.

Taking Out Loans:

You may mark a box of Indebted to clear a box of Wealthy, one for one. This requires a lender of some sort, whom you must seek out and broker a deal with during play. In a pinch, you may simply mark boxes and let the GM decide who the lender is, if you’re willing to take that risk.

ADDITIONAL STUNTS:

Vampiric Toughness:

Mark one box of Hungry to absorb two shifts from a physical attack.

Vampiric Recovery:

Outside of conflict, mark one box of Hungry to clear a sticky condition, or two boxes to begin recovery from a lasting condition. These conditions must represent physical injury.

Cloak of Shadows: Page 159.

You can see perfectly in the dark and are immune to any potential effect of normal or magical darkness. Additionally, once per session, you may declare that you automatically succeed at hiding from any non-magical attempt to spot you, provided you have a nearby shadow to hide in.

Ghostbane:

(requires Cloak of Shadows): You ignore the incorporeality of insubstantial creatures (e.g., ghosts, specters) and affect them as though they were physical.

Jade Tattoos:

Some Chinese sorcerer monks have learned to crush blessed jade into a fine powder and utilize it in inks, allowing them to imbue the qi balancing properties of a Jade Amulet into the flesh of the infected in the form of tattoos. This allows the elimination of one additional box of Hungry between sessions, but being made part of the body also permanently reduces the Hungry track by one. Once tattooed, using external Jade Amulets provide no benefit. The tattoos burn out of the flesh if you should become a full Jade Court Vampire.

CONDITIONS:

In Peril (sticky): [ 4 ]

You may mark the In Peril condition whenever you are hit by an attack. Negate up to four shifts of damage from the attack and then create an aspect that describes how the attack causes damage not easily shaken off (such as a Broken Leg or Shattered Reputation). Whoever inflicted the condition is awarded a free invoke on that aspect. Recover from In Peril when you act deliberately to resolve the peril: medical attention for an injury, a bribe to erase the slight on your reputation. This typically entails overcoming an obstacle against an opposition of Great (+4) or higher.

Doomed (lasting): [ 6 ]

You may mark the Doomed condition whenever you are hit by an attack. Negate up to six shifts of damage from the attack and then create an aspect that describes how the attack has rendered you almost helpless, such as Bleeding Out or Ready to Embrace the Dark Side. Whoever inflicted the condition is awarded a free invoke on that aspect. Recover from Doomed when you act deliberately to resolve the doom: emergency medical attention, the intervention of a White Council healer skilled in mental magic, or something similar. This typically entails overcoming an obstacle against an opposition of Great (+4) or higher. Clear out Doomed at the end of the next session after you’ve started recovery. If Doomed is checked and you are taken out (page 189), death is one of the possible outcomes.

Indebted (sticky): [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

This condition has five boxes. Mark one or more boxes when you have accrued a debt to a powerful group, person, or entity. The number of boxes you mark depends on the magnitude of the favor done for you; the GM has final say. Recover boxes of Indebted by doing favors for the lender in return, on their terms. Typically, a fairly safe but challenging task recovers one box, a dangerous task recovers two boxes, and a task that puts you in mortal danger or could otherwise permanently impact you recovers all boxes.
