Class Skill:
Kilenc Sárkány: EX
An id_es Skill derived from
Scream of Awe, which is gained from the countless tales of the wardens of
Elizabeth Bathory's wail of despair during her house arrest. Enables Alterego to continuously sing a melody that unsettles the audience through triggering their inherent memories of primal creation. Any audience must do an easy Luck check continuously as long as they are hearing the song, and failing the check would result in slight decrease in mental soundness and an increase in the difficulty of the subsequent Luck checks for this Skill. As it does not strike the mind, but rather something much deeper than the subconscious, mental fortification effects does not reduce or negate this Skill, but Skills such as
Protection of the Muses or
Harp of Healing can override the song, eliminating its threat. Targets too affected by the melody can be cured by isolating them in a place quiet enough to let the memories ignited by the song to subside.
Described as harmonious and dissonant; soothing and grating; her singing voice is the definition of paradoxical, screaming to whoever hears her melody to stay away as far as possible from her. Interestingly, her song has some similarities with a certain Beast's cry.
Personal Skills:
Magic Resistance: B
Grants protection against magical effects. Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected. Originally, Alterego have this Skill at an A Rank due to her draconian heritage, but because of her self-loathing and hatred towards her 'monster' self, this Skill suffers from a Rank Down.
Her slightly deteriorated mental state might also have something to do with this Skill's Rank Down.
Territory Creation: A
The Skill to construct a territory that is advantageous for one as a Magus. At this Rank, the creation of '
Blood Prison Čachtice' is possible. Oddly enough, said territory doesn't really aid her much beside keeping other people out... Or keeping herself in.
Torture Techniques: D
Denotes that one has an outstanding experience in torturing people. Grants a plus modifier when using torture tools, and continuously increasing damage after the first strike. Alterego's current condition has lowered her Skill, limiting her 'torture' techniques to be singing. The plus modifier to its effects still occurs, increasing the hardness of the Luck check of her song.
She refrains from torturing anyone directly again, and would only use her knowledge in the sadistic ways to keep you away from her.
Prisoner's Charisma: C
A variant of the
Charisma Skill, which represents one's ability to charm and command her captors to do her bidding. While originally she only have the normal variant of this Skill, her unique condition as a prisoner has mutated that Skill because of pity. Grants increased boost to people identified as her 'wardens' or 'guards', and with a medium Mana check, grants authority over them to a certain extent.
Perhaps due to humans feeling pity even to the most heinous of murderers, or the fact that she's just a young girl that made some people reluctant to lock her up or even tried to help her escape. But this is her will; no one should disrespect someone's last wish.
