Murian Hawthorne

A 2-Victory Newbie Contractor played by Metal in Maelstrom

This character is dead. RIP

To all in memory, a message from the departed. Follow your dreams. Even if they’re whimsical. Or silly. Or a little outside the bounds of polite society. Somewhere out there, one old ghost believes in you.

Murian Hawthorne is a retired lonely old woman who will risk her life to become the ultimate fairy godmother and help other women achieve their dreams and reach their happy endings.

She is 58 years old, lives in a culdesac in Farmington Hills, and often appears as an older woman with greying hair, twinkling blue eyes, and a joyful grin.

Murian Hawthorne lives in Maelstrom, a setting where videos of the supernatural go viral every day.

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

(Murian Hawthorne is unharmed)

(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.

Biography

Murian worked as a teacher for years up in Flint for years. Her husband, James, was an assembly line manager for General Motors. When they retired together…Murian thought she had achieved her happy ending. She had a good strong 28 year marriage, a peaceful little life in the suburbs, and a loving family of children and grandchildren. Then her husband died to late stage cancer. The house became lonelier, but she still had her children and grandchildren to entertain. She was saddened at how hard her children were having things…the housing market isn’t what it once was. She did all she could to support her family…giving them Christmas presents, driving the grandchildren to school events. But then Murian’s family moved to Australia for a work opportunity. She only sees them in person about once a year now, and it grieves her. She’s at a point in her life where she’s not sure what to do…it feels like she’s been left behind to wither. But where some people would just waste away, Murian decided she’d just be kindly family to all the women she meets who struggle as she once struggled in her youth. She feels a call to it, and vaguely remembers her own grandmother being a bit of a neighborhood patron. Though Murian’s grandma Eisley Hawthorne…was a bit special. People say she talked to mice. Made things appear when you needed them. Almost like a fairy godmother.
