| − | The | + | The Ebon Dragon suspects everyone. He knows better than anyone else how good intentions and sweet words scab over treachery only to break open raw to disgorge betrayal at inopportune moments. He would betray anyone, anything, and he expects to be treated no differently. As such, surprise attacks can scarcely take him by surprise. The Infernal pays 1 mote to remove the unexpected quality from any attack (physical or social); if he knows the Charm Nemesis Self Imagined Anew and his target is the one assaulting him, he can forego the mote expenditure, but this Charm still counts as a Charm activation for his turn. |

| + | Heroes battle for any number of reasons. Some fight for a righteous cause, while others are possessed of a fiery fury. Some are reluctant to do battle, moved to fight only by an iron code that demands they sacrifice their pacifism in defence of others, while still more are eager to cross blades with a despicable adversary. But sometimes, they move to battle dully, moving as though leaden, moving by instinct and reflex when their wills have already been crushed by some horrendous revelation that makes their achievements and power feel hollow even to themselves. At such moments, the Ebon Dragon laughs. | ||
| + | Purchase of this Charm grants the Infernal an Overdrive pool of ten motes, which is initially empty. The Infernal gains (opponent's Essence) offensive motes if someone who Join Battle against her meet any of the following criteria. If she is attacked by a group, she only gains motes equal to the highest Essence rating possessed by any one member. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - gained Limit for suppressing a Virtue<br> | ||
| + | - believes himself or herself to be fighting someone to whom they have a positive or negative Intimacy (the Ebon Dragon finds succulent both misguided, betrayed love and seething hate)<br> | ||
| + | - believes himself or herself to be violating a taboo in engaging in battle against the Infernal (or who the Infernal claims to be), such as someone attacking kin, or their superior in an organisation. This taboo has to be part of a code that the victim truly believes himself beholden to: a soldier who attacks a superior officer is a valid target for this Charm, but a member of a secret society which encourages murdering one's way to the top as a means of promotion is not. Unless an individual is zealously law-abiding (or is a law-enforcement officer of some sort), laws against murder and assault don't count as taboos. An idiosyncratic taboo (I can't hit a woman; I'm supposed to take care of my little sister; my order is sworn to defend all blue-eyed women wearing pink taffeta) is valid.<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the target believes that he has been unlawfully or unreasonably attacked (eg the Infernal disguised as his mother tries to stab him to death for no reason in the middle of a genial conversation at the dinner table; a soldier is backstabbed by his superior officer for no discernible reason on a battlefield) he is not a valid target for this Charm, and may engage in combat normally. Similarly, if the target is disabused of one of the above perceptions (he thinks he's fighting his sister, but then his real sister walks in the door; he thinks he's fighting a superior officer, but someone else points out that the Infernal's unit insignia is wrong and he must be an imposter) he immediately stops being a valid target for this Charm. | ||
| − | + | Every time the Infernal's DV refreshes, he gains a number of offensive motes equal to the number of valid opponents who took aggressive actions against him. Valid opponents who engage in purely defensive actions (or attempt to flee, or talk the Infernal down, or attack each other) do not provide the Infernal with motes. | |

While Ayin does not enjoy combat, he has found it necessary to develop some capabilities in that arena, and he has done so by ensuring that he never appears to be the aggressor in any conflict. Even if prompted to open hostilities, Ayin always affects an air of injured bewilderment, as if his trust has been betrayed by a sudden and treacherous attack, and his chosen weapons never leave a trace. While in his favourite guise as a Lost Egg Terrestrial, he favours using Principle-Invoking Onslaught to duplicate the effects of an Elemental Bolt Attack.<br> | While Ayin does not enjoy combat, he has found it necessary to develop some capabilities in that arena, and he has done so by ensuring that he never appears to be the aggressor in any conflict.
