Delphyrion Arcanis
Oppenheimer but without the Happy Meals

A 6-Victory Novice Contractor played by Cryst0lline in The Torrent

Report

Delphyrion Arcanis is a scientific content creator who will risk their life to become the ultimate alchemist chef and create a food-generating machine that will rewrite reality.

They are 25 years old, live in a lab in Orlando, Florida, and often appears as a stereotypical 5'8" scientist in a lab coat and sometimes goggles that rest on their forehead. With grey-purple neck-length hair, and pale irises, they look older than they should be, though they insist it makes them look wiser. (They just look homeless instead.) This is especially true during long projects, where they have heavy eyebags and frazzled hair. They wear some makeup on special occasions. The portraits are of the theoretical outfit they'd wear beyond the lab, but it's just been sitting in their closet because they are usually dragged out of their lab before they can change. They go with any pronouns.

Delphyrion Arcanis lives in The Torrent, a setting where there’s an ongoing torrent of the paranatural. Their journal, Delphyrion's Book of Incident Reports, has 12 entries. Their Questionnaire has 17 answers.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

Spider :(

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a surgery setup for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar if it caused one.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Born Runner You are built specifically for running. +5 feet of free Movement, +2 dice to all-out sprint rolls.

Cat-Eyes Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision. You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.

Oblivious You frequently fail to notice the soul shattering horrors that drive others mad. As long as your Perception rating is 1, all Trauma rolls and defensive Mind rolls are made at -2 Difficulty. Does not affect any Trauma rolls made as an additional cost to Gift activation.

Imbued After accepting your first Invitation to a Contract, you are Imbued, altering you in several ways. After completing a Contract, your learning and conditioning improves rapidly. However, you require the Contracts to advance. You have an indomitable Will to Survive. You may Exert your Mind to improve the Outcome of your Actions. You are highly receptive to therapy and may "cure" one of your Traumas with counseling on a Downtime.

Biography

Delphyrion "Delph" Arcanis (do not call them Delphi) works primarily as a chemist with somewhat of an internet presence. Think NileRed except Delphyrion was never able to find that channel, so he watched NileGreen instead. Sometimes people (and Delphyrion themselves) forget that they have a Master's degree in Chemistry because he often opts to goof around instead of using his head. At heart, however, he's still a nerd who regularly makes himself go insane with extremely complex formulas. He puts the "mad" in Mad Scientist for the funny.

He's basically pioneered the grin of one who wholeheartedly believes priests could get pregnant. For someone named after a mythological figure, he's awfully oblivious to the concept of religion and mythology. Even after a few contracts he still doesn't completely buy the concept of magic (or rather, the existence is indisputable, but they're in denial that magic can achieve anything that isn't already within reach).

Always one to resist against the world and fate itself, Delphyrion aims big in the only way he knows how. They'll create food out of thin air if that's what it takes to give reality a piece of their mind.
