What value lies in the remains of a firestorm?

A 7-Victory Novice Contractor played by Cryst0lline in The Torrent

This character is dead. RIP

You could only ever be told that you're "doing it all wrong" so many times.
All these years you've done nothing but "live", but your final two months were when you've lived to the fullest. Could you have been so wrong if you've felt happy for once?
Now, as you face the final light, remember. It's all you can do.

And may you know the warmth of your last ever embrace.

Rest well, you beautiful motherfucker.

Report

Zephyren Sangris is a paranoid engineering student who will risk his life to become the ultimate phoenix and burn the old world away to build a new one with its ashes.

He is 20 years old, lives in a studio apartment in Vancouver, and often appears as a 5'7" East-Asian man with short, scruffy red hair. He usually wears very baggy clothes, and is often seen with eyebags. He also wears an alloy necklace with an amber pendant. He's often slouching, so he appears 5'5".

Zephyren Sangris lives in The Torrent, a setting where there’s an ongoing torrent of the paranatural. His journal, Flame-etched Chronicles, has 25 entries. His Questionnaire has 21 answers.

(TapClick for Combat reference)

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

Aeter Inextinguibilis

(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.

Battle Scars

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Reduced to Ashes: (This is the mark of Zephyren's death.)

Altered DNA: Upper Nullspace Resistance (You do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in a particular environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.)

(Torso/Arm) Abyssal Gigantism: (Increased Muscle growth and biomatter has increased the size of parts of your body... mostly the upper half. Athletics rolls are rolled at a +1 difficulty and called shots to your upper body (excluding the head) only need a 2 for small targets and a 4 for tiny targets. Rolls involving Brawn give +2 dice.)

(Torso) Carapace Formation: (a Rough Carapace has begun to form. +2 Natural Armor... -10 to Free Movement.)

(Internals) Antimatter Gills: (You can breathe in the emptiness. Body rolls for breathing in alien environments is at +1.)

Paranoia You have a natural distrust of everyone around you, and are always on edge looking for threats. You must roll Self Control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or to allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome your fear.

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

Zephyren has spent most of his life running. From what he understands, the world has turned its back when his mother decided to betray her own husband. At a young age he was revealed to be an illegitimate child, thus ridiculed by everyone around him. In a society so reverent of blood relations, staying there would've been a fate worse than death.

He's only settled his paranoia enough to continue school because of a dear friend, but nothing will quell the raging flame that has only left destruction in its wake. Zephyren is what remains of this fire, and if people will continue to take everything from him, then he'll rise up just to do the same to them. By burning away the outer façade that people put up in front of others, they'll come back far better than before. Does he really believe that'll happen? Well, he really just wants the world to burn. Everything else that happens after that is just a bonus.

He does have a Chinese name, but he doesn't use it anymore: 皇鳳鸞 (Cantonese jyutping: Wong4 Fung6 Lyun4)

Courtesy of a suggestion: Zephyren paid $25 to get his name changed to Zephyren Sangris.
