Backstories and Powers
Chill of the Grave 2Her training as a priestess of Alchiba has brought Minkar close to death itself, something most normal people can sense– which makes them easier to intimidate.
Corpse-Eater -3Stigma against Carrion Birds is commonplace among the people of the world, not that the Carrion Birds do much to combat it. Nobody is particularly likely to trust her.
Expert Marksbird 3Minkar’s training with throwing knives focused on precisely hitting key points on her opponents to hamper their ability to move, disarm them, or other convenient things.
Hollow Bones -2Due to being a Carrion Bird, Minkar’s bones are hollow and lightweight. While they do allow her to fly, they break very easily.
I Am Very Important -2Minkar has a major ego, and is easily swayed by flattery, or easily brought to anger by someone she sees as disparaging her talents.
Inspirational Lore 3Thanks to an encyclopedic knowledge of epic poems and sheer charisma, Minkar can find just the right poem for a tight situation, and inspire her allies to awesome heroics. By spending a token, she can roll Social+Lore+Inspirational Lore and add her number of successes to their stress tracks.
Scavenger’s Immunity 2After years of hanging around and/or eating dead things, she’s developed a powerful immune system. Poisons and diseases are less likely to have an effect on her, if they even manage to take hold.
Things Beastkind Was Not Meant to Know 2As a Lorekeeper, Minkar was taught the dark secrets of the world around her. She specializes in death cults and groups committed to destructive or (by Carrion Bird standards) evil goals.
