You were drained of blood by some vampiric predator, the life stolen from you, and leſt for dead. Now you rise, a pallid bloodless thing. And you’re so, so hungry

You have a Bite attack that you can make instead of attacking normally. When you do, d4 damage.

When you create your character, roll a d4 for the additional effect your Bite always has:

1: roll DC 15 Presence. If you succeed, the victim obeys a hypnotic command you give.
2: you drain blood and othervital fluids. Heal by the amount of damage done.
3: Victim swoons helplessly for as many rounds as the bite’s damage.
4: Entrancing effect. +1 Presence against your victim, cumulative, forever.

You may spend an Omen to have your Bite do another of these things
as well: pick which when you do.

You were picked out from the teeming masses of humanity. Told you were special. Plied with fine wine and other intoxicants. Adorned with beautiful ceremonial clothes, anointed with oil and paint. Then killed as an offering to something inhuman, your life snuffed out early.

Your skin is painted with religious symbols. Your skin is a random sacred sroll.

Your blood carries the power of the various herbs and alchemies they plied you with. Daily, you can use your body as an undead alchemical crucible, distilling the drugs in your blood and syphoning some off.

You can produce d4 doses each day. Roll a d8 twice for what you know how to make.
As well as their listed effects, all the drugs you produce have a euphoric effect.

1: Nepenthe Oil. Ingested or by contact. Victim makes a DC 16 Toughness roll or falls asleep.
2: Purifying Balm. Restores health. Ends Infection, +1 Presence for an hour.
3: Elixir Imortalis. Removes all fear of death, brings it near. Double all damage dealt and taken for an hour. Immune to Morale.
4: Xhat. Heals d6. Removes all scars and blemishes.
5: Liquid Peace. Ingested. Anybody who puts it in their mouth and swallows dies, instantly, no save no second chance.
6: Thanazine. Revives a sleeping, unconcious, comatose or Torpid character instantly, they heal d4 HP and regain an Omen.
7: Blank Slate. Ingested. Victim becomes disoriented and suggestible.
8: Black Moon Powder. Rubbed into the skin, dealing d2 damage. User rolls to use scrolls at -4 difficulty.

When you improve, you roll another drug and learn how to make it. A duplicate result means you learn nothing.

You never hurt anybody. Far from it, your practices were - a far as you’re concerned - perfectly benevolent. They burned you for it anyway. You died on the pyre, trying to scream for mercy with flame-ruined lungs. Now you’re back, you’re far less inclined to pity.

You begin with a random unclean scroll.
You use strenght instead of presence for power rolls.

The fire gave you gifts. Roll a pair of d8s forwhat.

1: You can spit bolts of flame. Roll to hit with presence as normal, each bolt does d4 damage, and d4 damage each round until they put the fire out.
2: You are immune to fire, and cannot be hurt by it.
3: You can cause yourself to combust, covering yourself in flickering flames. D2 damage to anybody you attack or who attacks you up close.
4: When you look into a campfire, the flames show you odd truths. DR10 Presence and an evening’s concentration; if you pass, you get to ask a single yes/no question and get a truthful answer.
5: Things you burn - with supernatural or mundane fire - are utterly destroyed and forgotten. Records of them vanish, all traces of their existence fade away.
6: Your fires - either supernatural or mundane - illuminate more than they should. In the area lit by them, it is impossible to hide, and invisible things are revealed.
7: If you set somebody on fire, they fall under your thrall. You may set them a task; the fire does no damage so long as they obey. Shirk, and the fire does d4 damage a round.
8: You can cause even slight flames to flare into dangerous fireballs. D12 damage to anybody caught in the blast. For everybody killed by the fireball, you heal 1 HP.

You had such plans. You were going run away, see the world, fall in love. Your life was going to be so beautiful. But when you set out, all that was waiting for you was a cold shallow grave.

Name the person who hurt you most; you always know the rough direction and distance to them.

You are almost inescapable. Roll a d8 for how.
1: You can walk up walls on your feet and fingertips like a lizard.
2: You cannot be grabbed, pinned, tied up, or otherwise restrained; you always break free effortlessly.
3: Once you’ve got somebody’s scent, you always know the rough direction and distance to them, forever.
4: You can walk through walls as if they weren’t there.
5: You can walk on water.
6: You blend into your surroundings. Regardless of the circumstances, you roll to hide at DR 8.
7: You can transfix others with your gaze. To do so, roll Presence at DR 12, if you succeed your victim cannot willingly break eye-contact
or move away from you.
8: When you scream or sob, the sound renders those who hear it helpless. Roll DR 16 Presence, if you pass listeners are paralysed for a
round.

You had power, influence and status. You had a inhereted titled lined up. The details hardly matter anymore. Whatever it was, you were in somebody's way, and they had you discretely removed. Now, stripped of wealth, finery and titles, you've clawed your way out of your lonely grave, and you want back what they took from you.

Name the monarch from whose blood you hail. You get +2 to all rolls against them, their bloodline and beings in their service.

You’ve managed to retain something at least. former life went into that grave with you:
Fine clothes (worth another D6x10 silver, if you would sell them)

And roll a D6 for what else:
1. A diplomat's guide to translation. All rolls to translate, understand or communicate in other languages are DR8. Always sounds a little posh.
2. A rod of correction. A weapon that does d4 damage, or d12 to any target that has ever disobeyed an order you gave them.
3. A radient coronet that can - at your command - create or suppress light, to even blinding levels. When active, your difficulty for attack is +4, defence -4.
4. A groumet's ring that makes you immune to poison, toxins etc. Presumably, they killed you some other way.
5. A pen of office. Contracts written with it are supernaturally enforced. If a signatory breaks their side of the bargain, you instantly know and can punish them from a distance, dealing d2 damage each round you torment them.
6. A protective veil. Those who strike you with violent force find their bodies wracked with matching sympathetic injuries. You deal them half the damage you suffered. Doesn't work against those related by blood.

Well, you had opinions. Bold and unpopular ones you were outspoken about. It didn't work out so well for you. When you refused to recant, it turned out society has ways to shut up people like you for good.

You are a stubborn bitch. +4 to rolls to resist or shake off mind control, emotional manipulation, pain, coercion, etc

You came back from the grave different. Strangely altered by supernatural forces that took an interest in you. Roll a d8 for how.
1: Once per day you can make a Prophecy. State something significant, interesting or weird that you believe will happen: when it does, regain all your Omens.
2: Can talk to carrion-feeders and other scavenging animals - crows, hyenas, maggots - in their own tongue, and understand their words.+3 to Presence rolls to pursuade or understand them.
3: You can spit teeth. Each does d6 damage, and rolls to hit with Strength. You have 32-d4 teeth in total. You can spit multiple at once.
4: Your kiss is venom. D12 damage to anyody who meets your lips, with no roll to avoid it.
5: Your blood rusts what it touches. Any metal weapon that damages you is corroded, doing half damage the first time, and useless the second.
6: You can read people’s fortunes. When you do, your subject picks a dice size (IE d6, d20, etc) and rolls it, noting down the result. When she
would roll a dice of the same size or have a dice of that size rolled against her, she can substitute in the noted result instead of rolling, using it up. Somebody can only have one predicted fortune at once.
7: You see glimpses of your doom coming down upon you. Whenever you would go Torpid, before you do you get to make a Prophecy (see option 1) or read a Fortune (see option 6).
8: Once per victim, you can predict their eventual demise. Your prediction must be specific and unexpected. +7 to all rolls (including
damage rolls) that would bring that particular demise closer.

When you first improve, roll a second such ability. The second time you improve, and thereaſter, you may re-roll one or both abilities.
