-Status: Former Invisible Hell Killer (3)
White Devil Bloodline
-Your Chi is Greedy. You have one Joss pool and cannot use it to disrupt the pools of others.
-Gain (Rank) points of Demon Chi. While you can still gain Hell Conditions by accepting Demon aid, you will not gain additional points of Demon Chi unless you learn a Corrupt Technique of level 5 or higher. You are not immune to corruption, but your natural abilities make it both harder and easier for demons to target you: harder because you're used to their schemes, easier because in order to get any benefit from them you have to go big.
-White Devils are Cunning, Upbeat, Inscrutable, Scheming, and Adorable! This technique functions exactly the same as the Cordial, Upright, Courteous, Temperate, and Complaisant secret technique.
(19) -> Secret Arts
-Story of Fortune
-Manipulating Influences
-Elemental Progression, Inflaming and Soothing, Stealthy Work
-Extraordinary Daoist Techniques: Instant Influence Technique, Sheltering Water Intercession

-> Mist Over Ice 2
-> Signature Gold Style: Mantle of Orpheus 4
1 Orpheal Chord: Strength of Chi: Learning, Perform
2 Resounding Silence: Awareness
3 Resounding Thunder: +2 Dice to Perform rolls, Minion-Destroying 1*
4 Rocks and Storms Chorus: Complex Attacks, Shuffle, Investment
- Minions “destroyed” by this technique are converted into adoring fanboys/girls who unleash terrible social pressure on Morning’s opponents.

-Destiny Binding: Teachers (3)
The Matter of Britain (2)
-Entangled Destiny: Arondight (3)
Mist Over Ice
Incongruous Minister Wu slumped over in his desk, hands clasped around his throat. A horrible choking sound filled the Imperial Registry!
“Oh my.” Ten yards away, a man in a totally white mask strolled by, a cup of coffee steaming in his hand. He spared an indolent glance for the corrupt minister. “How unfortunate for him to have died just before the new ethics legislation. Wasn’t he the leader of its opposition?”
Level 2 White Corrupt Formless Technique: 1 White + 1 Demon
Lucky (0)
Ranged Attack (1)
Relentless (2)
Unseen Blow (5)
+Colorless Channel (4)
-Flaw: Delayed Onset
-Flaw: Expended Fortune
Heart Moves the Song is the same as Heart Sword. Blanco[1] teaches it as the ultimate expression of style! It has the following changes:
- It's Artful (Musical Instruments Only). Get it? 'Cause music is art? ^_^
- Tech 3 uses the Perform skill to hit up to (Favored Chi) opponents.
- Techs 5-7 are renamed and different, generally. I'm not sure how, because Morning doesn't have those techs yet. I do know that Tech 7 will be named Awesome: Stylish Blade, though. Get it? 'Cause it makes an attack as a Style Roll? ^_^
Ahem. Horrific puns aside...
[1] Incidentally, Blanco's favored weapon is the king of musical instruments, the Harmonica. None can surpass his badassness.
The Matter of Britain
When gallant King Arthur and Peerless Sir Lancelot turned against each other, the shores of Camelot ran red with blood! The mighty Axecalibur turned aside all in its way, but it met its match in Arondight, Lancelot's loyal blade! It is said that this event was the reason for the Fall of the Ancient West and the birth of the White Devil bloodline. What lessons can we draw from this event in the Barbarian West? "Be temperate," as Confucious says, "and don't bang that red-headed chick!" [2]
[2] This quote has been revised to conform to the modern vernacular.
King Arthur
blah blah blah shining example of chivalry blah round table blah holy grail blah Arthur is a boring loser that no one cares about not even his wife
Axecalibur
blah blah blah boring ultimate weapon blah assured victory blah Class I blah blah blah
Lancelot
2: You are descended, by blood or Martial Tradition, from the Knight of the Lake. (I would have taken this, but daoist magic was too expensive! I shall endeavor to buy it at the earliest opportunity)
- Bonus: If you are descended from Lancelot, the game master will ask you to fall in love with a manifestly unwise choice! Preferably this is the lover of a superior or enemy. If you do so, you may declare and describe 3 Deeds that your character does in the name of love, and instantly gain them along with the associated Destiny. You don't get Joss for these deeds unless they're particularly well-described.
- Bonus: If you are descended from Lancelot, the events of Bonus #1 will cause the end of an institution, society, person, or even empire that you support and are closely associated with (Like, say, the Invisible Hell Killers, or the Imperial British Empire). Fate goes out of its way to crumble this pillar of your life. When it does so, gain a point of Transcendent Destiny. The GM and Player decide how often this happens: once, twice, or rarely.
- Bonus: If you are descended from Lancelot, then you have no peer in battle! Enemies are at -5 to Confidence to be persuaded not to fight you, or to stop fighting you.
Arondight
This legendary Class II Divine Bladed Double Bass (Axe) was the only blade to stand before Axecalibur and prevail! It will only reveal itself to the most worthy and stylish of wielders. Generally, Arondight poses as an inferior God-Weapon, waiting to be acquired. When its wielder is in dire straits, its full power is revealed!
-Defense: 1 -Entangle: 3 -Acquire: 8 (Cloaked)/14 (True)
Galahad
Galahad was pretty badass. He braved the Seat Perilous and had immense willpower. He was kinda a Mary-Sue, though.
1: You are descended, by blood or Martial Tradition, from Galahad. This has the same effect as being descended from Banchao (spend a Joss to crit succeed).
2: If you are descended from Galahad, you may convert your White Devil Bloodline into a Virtuous Paragon Bloodline. What this does...is unknown.
Joss: 4 White Devil Destiny: 95 Total
