Hindrances
- Heroic (Major) - Having survived such a harrowing ordeal, Brook wants to bring the gentle summer light, warmth, and joy to the world that she remembers from her time before.
- Elderly (Major) - When the magic was wrenched from Brook, body and soul, it damaged something; leaving her weaker than she once was. Her Pace is reduced by 1, and she subtracts 1 from running rolls (minimum 1). She also suffers a −1 penalty to Agility, Strength (including damage), and Vigor rolls, but not linked skills.
- Driven (Minor) - The dark wizard who stole Brook's magic, and those like her, must be stopped.
Traits
- Tiny - Tiny races (Size −4) have a maximum Strength of d4. They subtract 4 from their Toughness and damage rolls (melee, ranged, magic, etc.) Gear made for Tiny characters weighs and costs a tenth the listed value. Reduce the Min Str for Tiny Armor four die types (minimum d4).
- Phosphorescence - Via arcane, divine, or natural means, the character's body can generate light. This eliminates up to two points of illumination penalties in a Small, Medium, or Large Blast Template around her and subtracts 4 from her Stealth rolls if they’re based on sight. The being's light may be activated or deactivated as a free action.

Backstory
Nguyen had no real notion how far the colony had fled, refugees in a land that tolerated them but didn't necessarily accept them. It had been far. Their native appearance seemed to inspire a gut reaction of primal fear, but once folk got to know them better, and their reputation caught them up, mistrust typically became the prejudice of choice.
Local thieves proved the most eager to form relationships with his folk.
Which made sense. Most of them were well suited to the work.
Nguyen himself was adept enough at certain aspects common to these jobs, but his heart wasn't in it. He wanted to discover things, to pry secrets from the earth, and to understand the beings that shared his time and place.
He wanted to be around folk who, upon seeing him, defaulted to kindness and acceptance - no matter how weird they were themselves.
