1
You possess a mastery of medieval european weapons.
Used by Seymore Alonso, Created by ilyude.

Sir Seymore Alonso carries himself as a proud knight and refuses to accept otherwise. Although he comes across as quite mad, his skill at arms with medieval weaponry is very real. He strikes with uncanny precision, brutal power, and preternatural control. His attacks morph seamlessly between stances as a thrust turns into an overhead slash, or a horizontal swing turns into a blow with a the cross-guard or haft. Even the timing of offensive maneuvers is frustratingly uncanny, as the momentum accelerates or slows without altering the intended force behind them.

First of his name, valiant saviour of Templetown, slayer of the Danish menace.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

[Hey, Listen!]: Your words carry an imperceptible weight that not even unfavourable audio conditions can tarry. People always hear you, whether they like it or not.
[Honest Eyes]: The tells that denote the deceptions of other are far too obvious to you. A slight facial twitch. A smile held a microsecond too long. You don't always know *what* they're lying about, but if they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes - you'll know.
[No Choice But To Stan]: The effect you have on other often has them defend you when you're wronged, for reasons you can't totally know. Likely they justify it to themselves as "the benefit of the doubt", but it matters not to you. They all fall in line, in the end.
[Maddening]: Knowing the lies of others has put a certain paranoia into you - what if someone else can see as you do? Best not to risk it - though sometimes, it's unavoidable.
[The Price Of Fame]: The magnetic air that has others bowing to you does have a side effect - you're altogether to easy to remember. Disguises do little, for the mark of your importance does not easily fade. Best not to be spotted, if you need to be unseen.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Hey, Listen!: You cannot be ignored or unheard when directly addressing an entity.
  • Honest Eyes: Your word is accepted as honest so long as you are speaking the truth as you understand it. You can always tell if someone telling a lie without making a roll, though you may not know what they are concealing
  • No Choice But To Stan: If someone speaks or acts against you socially, anyone observing it must roll Mind, with the difficulty equal to your Charisma, in order to not defend you.
  • The Price Of Fame: Any sightings or recordings of your activity can easily be traced back to you. Even when disguised or using an alias, people always get a Perception check to recognize you.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

This restoration is the biggest key to the girls' goal that they’ve gotten so far. The bond they want so badly is within their reach- all it takes is getting hurt badly enough. Rather than opting to chop off Grace’s limbs in the name of it (which they could theoretically survive), the menagerie decided to continue Contracting so they can get hurt in ways that might mean something more. She could protect her friends, discover new things, or maybe even deal with the massive problem she personally unleashed on the world.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.

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.
