You made the kid kill a king? That's fucked up!
Laz is a will-o-whisp born of the soul of fae royalty known as the Crooked Prince. The Prince had been ostracized by the revealing of his half-angelic genetics. In order to gain his throne back, he sectioned off parts of his soul to dethrone his sister, reveal her corruption, and regain the favor of the court. Instead, he got Laz.
Laz, or Lazarus, forgot his mission being born of the Prince's curiosity. He grew his own sentience and created his own life for himself. Laz became an adventurer; he amassed his own little family; and he helped save the world.
Laz now lives just outside of the city of Chromatica--where Seattle, Washington once lay--with his mom, Okhomun. He is currently attending 6th grade in an attempt to be just like the other kids. As hard as he tries to fit in, something will always seem slightly off about that kid who never seems to eat and vanishes at the drop of a hat.
Moves
Best Bud!
You have an animal ally to help you solve mysteries. They can talk, but with a heavy accent (most people don’t understand).
It's a Trap!
(Sharp)
When you make a trap to capture a monster or minion, roll +Sharp. On a hit, you capture something! On a 10+, you can choose one of these extra effects:
- It will take some time for the victim to get free.
- The trap inflicts harm (as an improvised weapon).
- The trap may be reset and reused later. Roll the move again when you do so, with +1 forward.
Tell Me the Truth! (Sharp)
When you are questioning somebody to investigate a mystery, you may ask questions from the following list as well as from the usual list:
- Who has something to gain from this situation?
- What are you plotting?
- Are you lying to me?
- Who knows about _____?
Telekinesis Weird
When you make a trap to capture a monster or minion, roll +Sharp. On a hit, you capture something! On a 10+, you can choose one of these extra effects:
- On a 10 or more, you move it. Choose two options and mark 1-harm.
- On a 7-9, you move it but it hurts. Choose one option and mark 2-harm.
- On a miss, something goes horribly wrong.
By default you can move something smaller than a person. You don’t have much control, and you can’t move it strongly enough to hurt anything. The following are Telekinesis options (anything not picked is not true):
- Something is held fast.
- Something is hurt (2-harm smash).
- Something catches fire.
- You can fling something bigger than a person.
- You keep it basically under your control.
- You suffer 1 less harm.
Doors of Perception Sharp
By using advanced psychological, pharmacological, or mental interface techniques, you may use magic with +Sharp instead of +Weird. You may choose one of these additional effects:
- Communicate with someone or something that you cannot communicate with by normal means.
- Analyse a clue (allowing you to investigate a mystery in a way that you would not normally be able to).
- Give a hunter (including yourself) +1 to a rating for the remainder of the mystery (maximum +3).
Ner
Ner is Laz's precious pet. The pair have been together for centuries now causing childish mischief and mayhem together. Ner often acts as Laz's head when they aren't manifesting a human glamour and are instead using their magic to manipulate stolen clothes to mimic the appearance of a person.
Okhomun
Okhomun was a Neptunian researcher trapped in a supply closet in her lab. The lab had been subject to an invasion, and Okhomun had been the only survivor. The gang adopted her despite not having a common language. Laz took it on himself to find a way to talk to her, and quickly she learned English. Not long after she began traveling with the crew of monster hunters, Laz began calling her "Mom" and adopted her into that role. She has taken to the role of Laz's mom quite well, even trying to accompany Laz when playing with other kids due to not wanting him to get bullied. She even taught him how to read.
Crooked Prince
The Crooked Prince is akin to a twin and a father to Laz. When Laz had remembered his mission for The Prince, he carried a lot of guilt that almost saw him destroyed. However with reinstating his dad/not dad to the throne, Laz feels rather absolved of that guilt and has been able to turn around. The Prince offered him a place in Fae Court, but Laz was disinclined to play politics after his brief time interacting with them. On rare occasions, they still keep in touch.
MYST3R
Myst3r was a defunct, broken machine of war that Laz found buried under some rubble. For shits and giggles, they repaired the machine's shell and some of the core components. When he woke up, he seemed to have some form of sentience. Interested as to where that might have come from, Laz began following him. While on their adventure, he often read books to Laz to keep him occupied. Now, Laz runs errands to Myst3r's organization in the city of Chromatica on the occasion when they need someone who can go through walls.
Ione
Laz met Ione when she attacked Myst3r, mistaking him for the war-machine he once was. She apologized and out of guilt, offered to join them in their adventures. Ione became a big sister to Laz, giving him candy and braiding his hair. She kept him healed and now works in her father(Apollo)'s clinic. Laz stops by from time to time to steal the candy from the reception and check in with her.
Esme
Laz met Esme when she was attempting to steal Ner. Her rambunctious ways drew the two of them together quickly and they became fast friends. Together they get up to mischief and cause problems on purpose.
Emret
Emret is Esme's twin brother. He is not exactly the brains of the group and responds to Laz like an elder brother. The pair often poke at each other and play around. Whenever Laz wants to poke something with a stick or test out a gadget he's been playing with, it's off to Emret to see if it would accidentally blow up or not.
