Friar Lantern

The School of the Sun are a religious bunch, and Friar Lantern is one of the poster boys for this truism. He's a real believer in the Primordial Waters and Tiamat and her kids. Having been brought up as a dyed-in-the-wool evangelical, though, he takes issue with the whole "destroy this diluted Creation" facet of his heritage.

So he strives to be good and spread the word of the Progenitors, which is tricky to do without sounding like a doomsayer and a madman. All the same, he's managed to amass a small cult who he mostly keeps to good ways.

+1 to transforming in either direction.

Unique Disruptions:

6: Neglecting an opportunity to fulfill a Virtue.

4: Denying the existence of the Progenitors.

Evolutions:

Wickedness Grants No Reward (O, Lambent Eyes of Judgement, requires Lantern of Shame): At Depth 1 and below, Lantern can spend a point of Ichor. If a character fulfills a Vice within Lantern's Wake, he does not gain a point of Willpower, and instead loses a point of Willpower. The target cannot gain Willpower from fulfilling his Vice for the rest of the scene.

Placid Waters, Calm Soul (OOO, Eye of the Eternal Storm): At Depth 3 and below, the Friar can automatically succeed at an attempt to resist the effects of a derangement by spending a point of Ichor.

Favored Son of Nunet (OOOO, Fluid Icon of Grace): At Depth 2 and below, the Friar may reflexively spend 1 Ichor to perfectly dodge an attack. Lantern may do this as many times per turn as half his Sheol, rounded up.

Friar Lantern's unique power grants him divine reward for resisting his base urges. Once per story, when the Friar fulfills his Virtue, he completely refills his Ichor pool in addition to his Willpower pool.

Rumors of the Friar:

The man's insane. He hides it well, but he's going off the deep end and fast. Word on the street is he's picked up this crazy notion that he's "saving" people by taking them into his cult. He's one indiscretion away from going completely old-school, fire-and-brimstone zealot, and when he does, people are going to notice.

Ever see Fight Club? Tyler Durden's got nothing on the preacher. He's been sleeping less and less and the sorry bums in his cult are getting confused. C'mon, let's go steal some space monkeys.

He talks with some very weird people, our Friar. Just the other night I saw him chatting away with some pale guy over at Biers. Seemed a bit of a dry fella, looked at his drink like it ate his dog or something.

Bahamut1984

Bahamut1984 is not a subtle man, but he doesn’t have to be; he gets the answers he’s looking for sooner or later. As an avid net-surfer and research buff, his first recourse to answering a question is typically to ask everyone he knows.

Bahamut1984 is also not an active man. Again, he doesn’t have to be. He’s set up shop in an old library basement, where he acts as a supercomputer for his sparse cult and monitors as much as he can manage, which is quite a lot. He's recently run into difficulties with the School of Clay over the several social-networking sites explicitly for the Wicked Tribe, but results are results.

+2 to becoming more monstrous.

Unique Disruptions:

5: Knowingly telling an untruth.

1: Refusing to answer a question asked.

Harmonic Triangulation (O, Blood in the Water, requires Peer Through the Depths and Flesh of the Earth OOOO) At Depth 5 and below, Bahamut1984 may see through solid objects using the Peer Through the Depths Evolution as though they were one “category” less by spending a points of Ichor. So, by spending one point of Ichor, he can see unimpeded through an inch of heavy metal, a foot of metal, ten feet of stone, or twenty feet of porous barriers such as foliage per dot of Sheol he possesses. (He can also see through fifty feet of smoke per dot of Sheol.) Each additional point of Ichor shifts the effective category back by one, to a limit of fifty feet per dot of Sheol for any material.

Tree of Knowledge (OOO, Everflowing Fetid Growth, requires Memories Before Time) At Depth 3 and below, Bahamut1984 can grant recipients Skills with the use of this Channel and concurrent additional Ichor costs of Memories Before Time.

Tireless Quest For Wisdom (OOOO, No Mysteries Of The Flesh) At Depth 1 and below, Bahamut1984 only needs to sleep for one hour per night and is immune to penalties due to fatigue. He may go without sleep for a number of days equal to the higher of his Stamina and Resolve before passing out, at which point he sleeps for six hours plus one hour for every twelve hours over twenty-four hours he stayed awake.

Bahamut1984’s unique power calls up a lot of nervous Big Brother jokes among those who know about it. At Depth 6, his sensory range extends to cover the reaches of any electrical system his Wake overlaps at least one part of. He can see via power lines, lightbulbs, and other electrical devices and relays, and can benefit from any sensory powers he has access to through this conduit. He is immobile while this power is active.

Rumors of the Watcher:

He’s turning into an honest-to-Tanin tree. Go down and visit him sometime, you’ll see. Man, I didn’t even think we could do that…

Have you checked you checked his Twitter lately? He’s been sleeping more and more lately, and he swears he’s seen stuff that doesn’t make sense. You want a link to the dream journal?

He’s putting a lockdown on visitors. Something about not being able to keep up with all the questions. Can something like that really drive you crazy?
