Independants / Other:

Mandy Hunts

Cost: 1 | Class: Medium | Race: Human
Power: N/A | Teamwork: 7/10 | Sociability: 8/10 | Morality: 8/10

"Followed up on a report of class 3 spirit beast stalking a human and both disappearing into the shadows, here's the file" - ORC Agent.

Mandy is a human Medium, she can see through the veil to see spirits, monsters, and magic in general. Due to a botched Occultism ritual, Mandy is left with the ability to both enter the spirit world like a Sylph, but enter the Shadow world as with Occultism 4. She can unreliably provoke the transition herself, but it's usually involuntary. She's currently terrified for her life in the shadow world hiding from a spirit beast.

Positives:

• Very knowledgable in occult.
• Doesn't take life for granted, and enjoys the little things.

Negatives:

• But from a human level.
• Somewhat emotionally scarred from her life.

+/- By witch standards, defenseless against the monsters that can now see her as easily as she sees them.

Mandy is a human, no faction relation.

Eskhander Mahabadi

Cost: 10 | Race: OREAD
Power: 6/10 | Teamwork: 8/10 | Sociability: 4/10 | Morality: 3/10

"Eskhander Mahabadi... That's the Awakened Tiger right? Strange that, never heard of non-humanoids awakening." - An ORC Scholar.

No, not the girl- The tiger. Eskhander is a literal tiger that recieved a witch awakening when poisoned by a Witchblood Elixir. Like a human witch becoming a non-human, Khan awakened as an Oread, but has Transformation Sequence, retaining his natural male tiger body and a separate witch form. He has a familiar cat that spends most her time in human form and learned to do a lot of the talking.

Positives:

• Curious & inquisitive.
• Deferential but confident.

Negatives:

• Might eat your face if you provoke him.

+/- Understands the wider world he woke up to is different than what he knew, and is patient in learning new norms.

Khan has Runes 2, Earth 3, Witchery 5, Familiar 5, MetaM - Zooarch, Transform S, and Menagerie.

Experiment 627

Cost: 8 | Race: DOLL
Power: 9/10 | Teamwork: 5/10 | Sociability: 5/10 | Morality: 2/10

"When we found her she was stuck in a loop putting books back on a shelf as a poltergeist kept knocking them over." - An ORC Agent.

627 is an advanced Doll experiment trying to recreate Doll witches, but without pesky things like free will getting in the way, but more intelligent and lifelike than the mindless serving dolls. 627 is a real person and a Doll witch, her past life heavily suppressed and faded away. She struggles hard to think for herself as though physically painful. She can bond a Master by occupying their Familiar spot.

Positives:

• Benefits from anything that would benefit a familiar.
• Extremely proficient.

Negatives:

• Can only be independent within bounds of an order.
• Slow, at first, to adapt.

+/- Her body is a combination of flesh and ball-joint doll.

627 has Necro 3, Wind 3, Hexes 4, and Witchery 4, Hot Swap, Maid Hand, and Levitation.

August Rose o'Bare

Cost: 10 | Class: Witch
Power: N/A | Teamwork: N/A | Sociability: N/A | Morality: N/A

"I haven't seen this happen before, are you seeing the same thing? This vision is just static to me." - Penelope.

Rose is a quiet witch, speaking seems to fatigue her, but she'll reply or say things when important. The Veil hides her from everyone else, as a monster would be hidden from a mortal, she is hidden from even witches. Even physically moving things to try to convey a message is obscured or dismissed in some way. If you select her as a Companion, you will be the only one who can sense her, and can be seen in the background of casual daily life as though she's just watching the life go by of everyone else, vanishing and appearing suddenly. She'll write in a small notebook, the pages look like static to you. Sometimes she'll help you with single written words or pointing. She's very passive and not very helpful, but your life seems to become more interesting: You can take any 1 extra Quest.
