About Mark Talbot

Mark Talbot

Appearance:

Living in the wild has made the human's hair wild, and his practical leathers weather-beaten and dirty; but he commanded an air of seriousness that belied his clothing and hair. He also has shoulder armor that is fashioned from the petrified antlers of a mature stag.

Human bonus:

I may take the shape of any domesticated animal.

Motivation/Flaw:

Motivation: To challenge and defeat a truly worthy foe using his druidic powers.
Flaw: He is young and reckless, and feels that to truly please the earth spirits, he must be the first to issue a call to combat.

Druidic Land:

The Whispering Plains

By Nature Sustained

You don’t need to eat or drink. If a move tells you to mark off a ration just ignore it.

Spirit Tongue

The grunts, barks, chirps, and calls of the creatures of the wild are as language to you. You can understand any animal native to your land or akin to one whose essence you have studied.

Shapeshifter

When you call upon the spirits to change your shape, roll+Wis.

✴ On a 10+ hold 3.

✴ On a 7–9 hold 2.

✴ On a miss hold 1 in addition to whatever the GM says.

You may take on the physical form of any species whose essence you have studied or who lives in your land: you and your possessions meld into a perfect copy of the species’ form. You have any innate abilities and weaknesses of the form: claws, wings, gills, breathing water instead of air. You still use your normal stats but some moves may be harder to trigger—a housecat will find it hard to do battle with an ogre. The GM will also tell you one or more moves associated with your new form. Spend 1 hold to make that move. Once you’re out of hold, you return to your natural form. At any time, you may spend all your hold and revert to your natural form.

Studied Essence

When you spend time in contemplation of an animal spirit, you may add its species to those you can assume using shapeshifting.

Bonds

Adishana's fascination with unfeeling machines is understandable, but it is a mistake.

Caleb has a dark past. I find myself fascinated with what exactly it could be.

Gregor and I are kindred spirits, in a way. We both wish to prove ourselves in battle against the enemy. I am concerned that he may not care whether or not his enemies are righteously slain, however...

Vanessa looks clumsy. I wonder how she will handle herself in combat.
