Toy's page

Whenever you discover a tradition, you learn an extra rank 0 spell from that tradition.

You are impaired while in contact with iron.

You learn the spell sense magic

You see into areas obscured by shadows as if those areas were lit.

You can use an action to heal damage equal to your healing rate and regain one casting you expended of a spell you learned. Once you use this talent, you cannot use it again until after you complete a rest.

You can use an action to alter your appearance to match that of a target living creature you can see within short range. The target must be Size 1 or 1/2 and have a humanoid shape of flesh and blood. Your body changes so you look like the target, though your clothing and possessions remain unchanged. The effect lasts until you use this talent again. If you become incapacitated or touch an object made from iron, you immediately revert to your normal appearance.

You gain a tome flled with magical lore. Choose three spells from any tradition and record them in the grimoire. The spells must be of a rank you can cast. If learning these spells would cause you to gain Corruption, you gain Corruption as if you had learned them. If you are holding your grimoire, you can expend the casting of a spell you have learned to cast a spell contained in the grimoire that is of the same rank or lower. Whenever you learn a spell that you already have written in your grimoire, you can also add a new spell of the same rank or lower to the spells contained in your grimoire. The spell you add must be of a rank you can cast but can be from any tradition.

1) Personality Traits: Kind, Thoughtless. Toy strives to be kind always, but often lacks human empathy, and so can be unintentionally thoughtless.

2) Relationships: Toy doesn't understand the concept of friends very well, as they've spent most of their life without them. After escaping the hag, Toy fled Dis and reached the city of Lij. There, they managed to take on the role of a male student academic, and began working hard towards a career in magic academia. While there, Toy made a few friends, and learned how good it feels to be able to rely on people and enjoy their presence. However, they were found out after accidentally touching iron, and though they might not have been cast out (Lij is a pretty liberal place), they fled before any consequences could fall on them. Since then, Toy has been a vagrant traveller, alone and unsure of what to do or where to go.

3) Values: Toy values their freedom the most, followed by kindness and power (which enables freedom and kindness, in Toy's view). At this stage, the one thing they could lose is their life, as Toy feels empty and alone in an uncaring world.

4) Fear and Loathing: Toy fears being powerless, restrained, or under the control of another, and hates cruelty, having suffered so much of it. Toy also fears sex, as that was always a horrible experience for them during their period of slavery.

5) Toy desires to be powerful (hence pursuing magic), and to use that power to do good things. However, given their lack of understanding of the human condition, if Toy were to become supremely powerful right now, they could very well become a benevolent dictator. Toy has much to learn about what good and evil really are. Toy loves magic, and companionship, but has largely been cut off from either of these things since recently fleeing the Academy in Lij.

6) Secrets: Toy's entire identity is a secret. They reveal to no one what they are, as they are ashamed of being a changeling, "not a real person" as they were told many times. Beyond that, Toy has stumbled on to a major political secret, either in Dis, or more likely in Lij (discuss with GM).

7) Achievements: Toy took over the role of a student who they saw murdered in an alley and instantly mimicked. The male student was a loner, but brilliant, and upon taking possession of his dorm and books, Toy excelled in magic theory from the get go. After a month or two, Toy felt confident enough to begin interacting more with other students and academics, and did very well. Toy was selected to be part of a research group that was concerned with combatting demons, and helped discover a magical technique that would destroy their physical forms. Toy was only focused on one part of the research, however, and would need to do months, if not years of work to recreate the entire project by themselves. Toy has told no one about their accomplishments in that project, as it was towards the end of it when they were exposed by contact with iron.

8) Authority: Toy is comfortable with authority as long as it is freely given, and their opinion is given weight. This worked well in the Academy, as students were encouraged to question, and to explore. A military style of authority would be too close to the lack of control Toy fears and loathes so much.

9) Obligations and responsibility: Toy generally keeps their word, although their values are fairly malleable on this count. Obligations and responsibilities can be dropped for the greater good (as Toy understands it), or if they become irrelevant. Toy completes tasks quickly and promptly - they are not lazy at all. Guilt is not a term Toy is very familiar with.

10) Good and Evil: Toy thinks in terms of Good and Evil, but what they really mean by those terms is kindness and cruelty. Moral philosophy is not Toy's strong suit. Toy is generally not selfish, and wants to fulfil the needs of others, but is also seeing how their needs must be fulfilled as well.
