=EXALT=
''Dusk Abyssal''

'''Exalt Milestone:''' Gained if they engaged a significant foe in bloody combat.

*'''Death’s Champions''': Abyssals are considered undead whenever it is beneficial to them. In places touched by death, such as the Underworld or a blood-soaked battlefield, they gain a one-success bonus on any action that evokes fear, sorrow, dread, or acceptance.

*'''Cruel Banquet''': Drawing might from blood and terror, an Abyssal may replenish their motes by inflicting a level of damage or committing an act that frightens, subdues, or angers the target. Draining or terrifying a trivial character restores 1 mote, an elite character restores 2, and a powerful character — such as another Exalt — restores 3. The Abyssal may benefit from Cruel Banquet only once per scene outside of combat.

*'''Resonance''': Abyssals are resonant with soulsteel.

=== Anima Effects ===

*'''Death is Inevitable (Passive)''': Without needing to roll, the Dusk slays up to his Essence in trivial characters on their turn; against nontrivial targets, their decisive attacks that hit always inflict at least one level of damage.

*'''Fear Made Flesh (Active)''': When the Dusk flurries influence actions meant to intimidate, demoralize, or otherwise frighten a foe, reduce the flurry penalty by two on each action. They can also intimidate otherwise mindless targets, such as automata. This includes any antagonist with the Mindless quality.

*'''Walking Apocalypse (Iconic)''': Once per turn, he may respond to an attack on Step 8, making a counterattack with any combat Ability. If successful, he gains his Essence in bonus successes to damage during Step 5 of his next attack against the target.

== The Great Curse ==

'''Incitement'''
* Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars acts against his Major Intimacy.
* Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars acts against his Major Virtue. 
* Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars attempts to exist among mortals as a member of the living.
* Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars acknowledges the name he once had in life or a similar aspect of his mortal life.

'''Grave Extremity: Lure of the Tomb (Scene)'''

Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars seeks the solitude of the grave, and removes himself to whatever sepulcher, burial sites, or charnel fields are available to mediate in motionless silence. In the Underworld, he seeks the nearest place empty of ghosts or other animate beings. Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars strenuously avoids attempts to interrupt him, and meets persistent interlopers with sudden, dispassionate violence. Lure of the Tomb ends prematurely if Ashen Wraith Cloaked In Dead Stars is attacked, or if someone he has a Major Intimacy to is seriously injured or incapacitated due to their inaction.

== Charms ==

* Ranged Combat Excellency
* Arise and Slaughter
* First Blood Impulse
* Flickering Shadow Evasion
* Mist Over Ice
* Soul-Drinking Bite
* Streaming Arrow Stance
* Wickedness-Unveiling Method

=MERITS=

*'''Artifact (Primary):''' Ashen Wraith possesses Ritho, also known as Illicit Desire, a soulsteel firewand with the unique property of firing spherical rounds made of solidified pale blue and white ghost-fire at targets as well as being able to launch bursts of flame.

*'''Resources (Secondary):''' Ashen Wraith has invested in an impressively large number of merchant guilds and trade ports in the Dreaming Sea, so he possesses a decently substantial income. He still owns multiple well-furnished apartments in various areas across the Dreaming Sea, and also has a stable under his name containing a choice of fine mounts. He can gain an audience with kings, minor satraps and young Dynastic scions by leveraging his economic power.

*'''Contacts (Tertiary):''' Although Princess Magnificent could barely give him anything due to a lack of resources, she is still an ancient and powerful ghost, and thus demands worship and respect regardless of her current station. This enables Ashen Wraith to access what little pull he can from her thinly spread court of loyal ghosts and nephwracks, allowing him small favors and information from the dead of the Dreaming Sea.
