Death is not the end. When Nameless dies, their spirit is drawn to a new vessel. The body must be of someone who will be unmourned after their disappearance, and who has a task left undone in life.

The asset represents any inherent capability of the body or the primary skill of restless spirit that seeks relief. A chef would share their cooking skill with Nameless, while an ogre would have extraordinary strength.<br /> | Death is not the end. When Nameless dies, their spirit is drawn to a new vessel.

If Nameless already has such a complication, step it up. |
