Maric Buries-Bones

'Ruh roh.'

Maric is a character from A New Beginning

• Maric Buries-Bones
• Caste: Full Moon Caste Lunar
• Concept: Adorable. Deadly.
• A plain-faced young man of nondescript demeanour, Maric is usually dour-faced, being far too seasoned by numerous misadventures to usually display more emotion than a long-suffering hangdog look whenever things go wrong. Unless his captain and bonded Solar, or his crew, or an innocent bystander, is threatened, at which point he turns into a compact bundle of pure ravening fury. Usually attired in the loose vest and canvas trousers of a sailor, his body is covered by the intricate patterns of his moonsilver tattoos, which congregate around his chest, into which appears to be set an amulet buried into the flesh itself, with three settings, one of which is empty.

Backgrounds

Symbiotic Elemental Passenger (Artifact 3)

The spirit of a bound brine-cur, whose pack Maric rescued from a group of Immaculate monks and with whom he's been observed to have several similarities, bonded to his skin and infusing him with its agility and prowess. The elemental submitted itself to the binding as tribute to the Exalt's might and also the purity of his purpose.

Subtle Silver Skin (Artifact 5)

A prize reclaimed from his First Age tomb, Maric's suit of moonsilver powered armour is usually unobtrusive, duplicating the appearance of everyday clothes and attire appropriate to the context. When he sheds the facade of relaxed vulnerability, though, the moonsilver erupts in a fury of activity, sheathing him in layers of imperishable magical material that endured Primordial battles. Its powers enhance his attempts to escape detection as well as grant him the ability to interact with dematerialised entities.
