"Snitches get stitches." 👊🏿
Dilemme . Dance of the dragons
Rohzenn is a mute mercenary who mostly uses two daggers, poison and her natural talent for stealth and violence. In her quest to get rid of anything and anyone trying to chain her with absurd rules, she realized that being an outcast meant being free and so she embraced it.
Personality [360]
Her neutral face is grumpy. She eyerolls/pouts/raises a judgemental eyebrow and facepalms a lot. She's distrustful, sneaky and petty, if she needs your attention she'll whistle, pinch you or throw a rock at you (way more fun than just waving at you right). She has a wicked smile when fighting - the tougher the better - or to scare off children. She grew the habit of flipping the bird, spitting on dickheads or threatening you with a blade. She excels in murder and thievery, she has the brutality of a needle on your jugular, never forgives nor forgets - especially betrayal. Traitors will permanently have to look over their shoulder or (and ?) die. Even though her face is hard to forget, she tends to blend in a crowd. An unaverted eye may not look twice at her figure but a professional will know where to look for danger. It's in her sharp gaze, her silent steps, her conveniently large cuffs - perfect to access hidden blades. It's in how she carries herself with confidence even around giant bouncers, nonchalant and unimpressed in spite of her smaller lean form. As if perfectly aware of her place in the foodchain - at the top.
Moving around bodies, shadows or trees is as natural as breathing. Her hits, hearing and sight are sharp from years of survival alone across Ivras and in the Sunless Jungle. She's always aware of her surroundings, it's hard to sneak up on her. The only thing you can't buy with gold is her freedom, for anything else, grab your purse folks. Oh wait. She's already run away with it. Shit.
Even though she doesn't believe in peace and humanity anymore, she sometimes breaks the mask when no one's watching. She may teach the thief's cant or how to pick locks to a young stray kid. She may help an unfortunate soul and fake nonchalance about it - be it with a service or gold. Innocent people and kids are off limits for her cruelty, everyone else is fair game, especially if they already have a target on their back.
She's weak for whiskey, powerful women and the small pleasures (sins) of life.
History [338]
Rohzenn comes from a well off family near Faline. They were not nobles, though they slowly shone thanks to her older brother and sister's hard work to protect the people from monsters. They both worked in the Navy and Military as officers and as such earned their place in the higher society. Rohzenn, too young to fight at the time, grew in their shadow. She refused to accept or learn manners and rules of the rich. For her, nobles and the Order were -still are- a bunch of idiots unable to think or do anything by themselves and she refused to be like them.
She slowly realized that being a misfit fit her, and that being in the shadow meant freedom. So when a mysterious rogue named Cyrai offered to mentor her, to teach her the thief's cant and their various skills Rohzenn happily obliged.
After facing yet another monster attack when she was 15, Rohzenn decided it was time to build up that power. Her sister lost any sense of objectivity and with years turned into a monster hunter. When her loved brother dumped his job to flee with his wife overnight, Rohzenn felt the burning feeling of betrayal slice her heart. He'd left her behind without thinking twice. So she would, too. That life had never been for her and she decided that now was the time to grow her skills and build her own path with Cyrai. They crossed the country, and Rohzenn ended up joining the Vatuh Urath clan in the Sunless Jungle around her 18th birthday.
She followed years of intense training to work for them. She now crosses the country as a mercenary to steal, spy or kill. She masters daggers and poisons, and her snake Adonis follows her everywhere. Her sister is a witchfinder and Rohzenn wants to laugh at the irony. Rohzenn has never been good nor loyal, sure, but at least she still has a sense of honor and critical mind her entitled haughty sister clearly lacks. Fucking snitch.

The Silent Dagger
Rohzenn has the ability to cast illusions. With her current stats, she can :
- (0,1) Cast a minor illusion : either a scent, a taste, a minor visual effect, an image the size of a hand that can last up to an hour.
- (1,2) Cast a silent illusion : only visual, up to ten minutes, not bigger than 1m x 1m x 1m.
- (2,2) Cast a major illusion : can make an image with accompanying sounds and effects, make it move as if it is natural, up to ten minutes, not bigger than 1m x 1m x 1m.
- (3,2) Her illusions can now be up to 2m x 2m x 2m.
- (4,3) Blur : she's slowly applying her illusion skills to herself, to affect others' perception of her. For now, she can appear blurry for a few minutes at best. Useful in a fight, it may make her harder to hit.
- (4,5) Disguise : she can edit part of her appearance for a short amount of time. For now, she can change her facial features and hair. It is only a visual illusion, not physical.
- (6,5) Disguise : she can make it big enough to cover her entire self and look like someone else. She cannot change her size and has to remain an humanoid illusion wise.
Scrolls and items
Aside from her illusion magic, Rohzenn can :
- Wield a weapon and lift small objects (handmade idol).
- Wield several weapons and lift big objects (extended telekinesis scroll)
- Summon a familiar : a black panther (familiar scroll)
- Share her magic with her familiar (enhanced familiar)
- "Speak" with animals (animal communication scroll)
- See in the dark (darksight scroll)
- Repair objects (mending scroll)
Perspectives
With more power and/or discipline, her magic will be able to grow :
- Basically be able to make illusions that last longer, can be bigger for example
- With more discipline, she will be able to alter her own appearance for finite periods of time (thinking dnd spells like disguise, invisibility).
- With more power, she could be able to project some of her illusions into combat (ideas like Fear, projecting nightmarish illusions to terrify her opponent and get the advantage for example.)
- With more power, be able to make a copy of herself as a decoy or defense mechanism.
- With more discipline, have a state in between invisibility and normal state, which makes her "blurry" and harder to hit.
- Basically, fun dnd spells in the Illusion school that can come in handy but are more utilitary than really offensive.
- If she really gets busted stat wise one day, maybe she would be able to pull things from her illusions/dreams to make it real ? Not sure it's the route I want for her. But I'm keeping it in mind as in my dnd campaign, Rohzenn has just discovered her mentor never existed and she actually imagined it all along (for literal millenias). Now she doubts everything - but mostly she cannot accept that everything they lived was not real, and she wants to bring her back into her life one way or another. Would be cool to import this plot to Anathema, be it by herself or with the help of someone. Doesn't have to though, I get that Anathema has a different system !
Costs
- Magic somewhat impairs or reduces one or more of the caster's senses while it is in use. It impairs her sense of reality, this is why she has taken so long to realize she was a mage.
