Jia Sin Se
Jia Sin Se[edit]
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Description[edit]
She is petite, sleek, refined, elegant, with a silky, sibilant voice. A fine coat of shiny, blue-grey fur covers her black skin. Iridescent silver-grey eyes with human irises and the unmistakable light of curiosity smile on her mostly catlike face. Her dewlaps have long, shiny whiskers. She dresses elegantly in a pale pink silk Hanfu, lined in a cool blue with a similarly pale green scarf. She prefers to go barefoot, as shoes interfere with claws.
Background:[edit]
- Q: What did you get caught doing that had you exiled from your home community?
- A: Nothing! I was once Lady, Xi—Jia Sin Se. I lost a power struggle with Countess Chǔnshì of House Fēngzi. The arrogant, furless liars of that house accused me of stealing a priceless painting. I am no common burglar! I told the truth. I fought with all four claws and my fangs. I lost, and I fled before they could catch me.
- Q: You used to have a different life from this one that you've tried to leave behind you. Who from that life is still chasing you?
- A:The indolent dullards of House Fēngzi, they will not chase me themselves. They will hire mercenaries, murderers, anyone willing to take their filthy coin, to bring me back. I will not go back.
- Q: Who from that other life were you most sad to say goodbye to?
- A: My love, Hào. We were to be married only a month ago. Now I am not sure I will ever see his green eyes and his thick black fur again. He had to pretend to renounce me to save himself. I hold him blameless for this.

Features[edit]
Katari Ancestry[edit]

Syndicate Features[edit]
Foundation: When you arrive in a heavily populated town or city, you know somebody that calls this place home. Give them a name, note how you think they could be useful, and choose one from the list below:
- They owe me a favor, but they will be hard to find.
- They’re going to ask for something in exchange.
- They’re always in a great deal of trouble.
- We used to be together. It’s a long story.
- We didn’t part on great terms.
Specialization: Once per session, you can briefly call forth a shady contact. Immediately choose one of the benefits below and describe the flashback that brought them here to help you in this moment:
- They provide 1 handful of gold, a unique tool, or a mundane object that the situation requires.
- When making an Action Roll, their help lets you shift your Hope or Fear die by +3.
- When dealing damage, they snipe from the shadows, adding 2d8 damage to your damage roll.
Mastery: You can now use your Specialization Feature three times per session. You can also choose from the following options when you use it:
- When you mark 1 or more Hit Points, a contact rushes out to shield you, reducing the Hit Points marked by 1.
- When you make a Presence Roll in conversation, they back you up. Your Hope die becomes a d20 for the roll.
