[edit] Artifact

The Dragon's Embrace, Malfean Black Lead Breastplate
(MM bonus not added yet)
Soak: +7L/5B, Hardness 8L/8B, Mobility -0, Fatigue 0, Concealable under heavy jacket or cloak.

Black Lead Hearthstone Bracers
Black Lead
Three-die bonus to dodge attempts

The Cleansing Kiss of the Shadowed Coils, Jade Reaper Daiklaive
Jade
Speed 4, Accuracy +4, Damage +8L, Defense +1, Rate 3

All three of these artifacts were gifts from the Ebon Dragon, the breastplate made in the shape of his scales and crafted to caress Dove's curves as his hands and talons do. The bracers are smooth and heavy looking, but she wears them as if they are just ribbons around her forearms. The red jade daiklaive is an artifact a demon of the Ebon Dragon's line had stolen into Malfeas, and it was that creature who had gifted her with a sword fitting her stature.

Wedding Gown, Black Lead Superheavy Plate
Soak: +16L/18B, Hardness 12L/12B, Mobility -2, Fatigue 2 Attune 8

[edit] Manses

Name: The Cavern of Songs Made Into Scales
Aspect: Earth
Level: 4
Location: In the heart of the Southern Deserts
Produces: Gem of Adamant Skin
The Caverns of Songs Made Into Scales. A manse in the South, this place has reminded fairly intact. Demons roam this place as well, but it has a defense of its own, allowing its hearthstone bearer to control the echoes as a defensive tool. It also is sometimes the home of a Yozi cult in the name of the Ebon Dragon, that has a habit of falling into an orgy of violence. Any other cult that comes is left alone until Dove comes to the Manse, where she ends their arrogant lives by her blade.
Powers: Invisible Theft, Veil of Shadows, Minor Trick (Hearthstone bearer can manipulate echoes within the manse, silencing them or moving them to different places), Pasiap's Buried Whiskers.

Name: Shattered Mirror of the Sun
Aspect: Solar
Level: 3
Location: North of Nexus
Produces: Gem of Grace
The Shattered Mirror of the Sun is a Solar manse that caps a gate to Malfeas deep in the East. It was once a beautiful spire of glass and orichalicum, but the Dragonblooded took her daiklaive to every reflection, singing and laughing and weeping. The manse is now defended by a handful of demons and gardens that they tend to, allowing blossoms and their perfume to run wild. Every mirror is shattered, and no one has bothered to clean it up.
Powers: Otherworld Gate (to Malfeas, 5 points), Comfort Zone (1), Magicial Conveniences (1, Gardens that only need pruning, lanterns light up when someone enters, glass can become opaque and protect against light), Minor Traps (Shards of broken mirror shards all over the manse, other than the gardens, razor sharp. A successful dexterity + [performance (dance) or dodge] roll at difficulty 2 allows you not to take damage by walking at a normal pace. If failed, the character takes 1L for every 15 yards walking a normal pace) Drawbacks: Fragility (1, gives two points, the Shattered Mirror is made mostly made of glass, with orichalcum making the framework)

[edit] Character Notes and Extras

Theme Songs

• Normal: Eva, She Is My Sin, both by Nightwish, The deadite girls gone wild, by Lordi, Omna Magni, by Makino Yui
  • Battle: Though The Fires And Flames, by Dragonforce
  • Demonic Jam Sessions: Dove Meadow, The Violet Flame, both by Jeff Victor
• Ebon Dragon's Themes: Dargor, Shadowlord Of The Black Mountain, by Rhapsody,
  • Relationship: Snow White Queen, by Evanescence, It Snows In Hell, Would You Love a Monsterman both by Lordi
    • Teatime: Taking Tea in Dreamland from the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice.

Pros: You will continue to be reborn in a year and a day, unless you are destroyed permanently. Your children will bear Dragon's Blood. You may continue to benefit from Exalted Charms, but your Spirit Charms are discounted by 1XP.
Cons: You're now really a 3rd Circle Soul. Your death fundamentally changes the ebon Dragon. You are vulnerable to effects that target spiritual beings, not just creatures of Darkness.
Demon Souls of the Second Circle:
Wisdom: Septette of the Dead Princess, can spellbind those listening, takes seven different forms, all instruments.
Reflective: Unknown name, a shaft of light with a shadowy figure in its heart.
Warden: Nuurym, the Stone Circle Protecting the Shadow's Flame. Think something like Alevuia.
Nyruum is very much like the man he is made in the image of, Ragara Myruun, Eva's father. The only differences are cosmetic that make him seem much more Malfean in appearance, armor of black lead, the gleam in his eyes emerald, his robes simple, but for runes of protection and defense. He prefers to defend purity and innocence, especially in daughters. However, disloyal daughters drive him away, a conflict that upsets Dove rather greatly, as she is one. He is attracted to Immaculates, willing to parley with them, but Anathema (which are, to him, those who stand against the rightful masters) will die at the hand of his hammer. An Immaculate grieving the death of their child will open a gate right to him.

Indulgent: A teaset that casts Worldly Illusion to allow dialogue with an image of Eva in her teens.
Expressive: The Darkness Within the Kind Heart, a woman of lava dressed in conservative attire and wearing a mask to hide her appearance. Compassion 1
The Darkness Within the Kind Heart (Expressive) - The Darkness Within The Kind Heart is a bitter, bitter soul, who conceals her hatred in form-fitting attire under robes of flickering shadows and dappled light, pulsing in time with a heartbeat. She covers all of her skin, wearing a white mask that looks like a stylized dragon, with burning red eyes, a black veil over long hair, long enough that only a fringe of white shows from under the veil. The Darkness is a master at twisting emotions, turning love into vicious hate, children's toys into deadly weapons. In fact, she is the mother of the Pillow Bomb Demons, which seem to be one of the few things she cares about, carrying one with her... or making one. She can turn hate into love, but for positive things, she will demand a sacrifice. She hates water and kindness, the former turning her solid for a time as it hardens her lava form, kindness confusing her hatred, as she expects cruelty from all. What attracts her is a child's tears shed because of the mocking of their peers, nursed for years and years until a million are shed. The one millionth tear will beckon her to make a Pillow Bomb for the child to give them, ordering the demon to serve them until they are callously thrown. Combat-wise, she uses a reaper daiklave of black lead... and throws the pillow bombs. Bitch. She fights without mercy and enjoys turning friends against friends.

Messenger: The Flock With Feathers of Scarlet, Ebon and Ivory. Flock of white, red, and black birds.
Defining: The Maiden Before the Dragon, A demonic child with only white hair to hide her form, holding a sky blue wedding gown. Dress is the demon, dress can possess.

Combo: Falling Star Manuever (2) + Dragon Graced Weapon. Use First Melee Excellency when you do this. REmember that you can still use Unassailable Body of Fire Defense AND Smoldering Karma strike when you do. (6:01:04 PM) SerasWinterblood: that combo costs you 4XP.

Possible Dove first circle (thank Jon)

Pillow Bomb Demon (First Circle)

These demons (who are barely considered worth the name by knowledgeable savants) appear to be stuffed animals, crudely stitched together, with pegs in place of limbs. Infamously lazy and incompetent, they are not to be trusted with any task the sorcerer cares about at all. Their only useful function is that they explode as if they were stuffed animals packed with purest firedust.
