The phoenix is an everlasting entity, never truly dead. Each aspect of it, however, returns for a purpose. For Billy Chance, it's to right the wrong that slew him.
Though, if the death blow is dealt by an innocent person, then that vengeance could never be placed.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is being hurt by an innocent person, and if you take damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will never kill you. If your weakness is not immediately intuitive or obvious, attackers may be able to make some sort of knowledge roll to discover it, at GMs discretion. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.
Autumn's eyes snap shut, her shaky left hand swiftly shoots towards her chest and almost feverishly clutches around the worn out but oddly elegant looking iron locket with a foggy, red gemstone in the middle - in another life the piece would have doubtlessly been stunning to witness, though now it's but a shadow of its former self, merely hinting at the beauty time mercilessly eroded.
The pendant hangs around the woman's neck on a thick, old but still rather sturdy looking metal chain, her thin hand clutches around the necklace, hard enough to turn her sharp delicate knuckles a ghostly white.
"It's the little things that so often remind us of who we truly are when we so foolishly lose our way, a cheap, seemingly meaningless gift, a kind word in the time of need - or a moment of heartfelt silence, a warm embrace when my very bones felt like ice - it can keep one sane, kept me from taking the wrong turn and ending up in a ditch like so many of the less fortunate already have."
