Bio

Once upon a time in Nexus, that stinking relic of a city from the Shogunate, there was a man who had an overdeveloped sense of rooting out corruption, and wanted the playing field between rich and poor to be at least fair, if not level. And he was very, very good at finding these sources of corruption, and exposing them. Sadly, for all involved, he was not good about remaining uncaught - and when he was caught, the Guild factors had him staked down in a pile of garbage. The rats of all too usually large size did the rest, even as he screamed and tried to get loose.

A cold yet musical voice said this was a shame, to go out like this, before even really doing lasting damage to one of these bastards - wouldn't he like a chance to make them feel what they put others through?

And yes, yes he would, he thinks, as the smaller, invertibrate scavengers are making a start on his flesh.

First Age Bio:Having already discovered a cure for every known disease, tamed the cancerous growth of flesh, and having set up the Auspicious Cleansing Clinic - a one stop diagonsis and treatment center, with branches in most major cities, Gleeming Transcendant Knowledge grew bored, and began searching for new purpose. For a while, the drug-refining beasts were an interesting project, and a few centuries were lost in a haze, but still, that nagging feeling that something hadn't been fixed.

She pondered the Wyld, and carefully the Void, and even the body of Malfeas, checking and rechecking the boundaries.

Upon her return, she told the Deliberative that Inaspicous times approached; that something in the fabric of Creation itself, or how it sat in conjunction with the other realms, was tainted.

She was laughed out of the Deliberative.

The Usurpation broke out not long after; she was found on a drug trip so high that even after she was dead along with all the Dragon Bloods who killed her, their ghosts stayed high until the Immaculates finally crashed that party and destroyed them all.

Combat

Weapon

Speed Accuracy Damage Defense Rate

Gutbuster Disabling Device - Artifact 4

Attune 6 motes. Speed 6 Accuracy +3 Damage 15B Rate 1 Range 50

Base effect: Choose a mode and pay the motes, then fire an invisible beam (-2 DV to dodge or parry) at the target. The beam ignores non-magical armor and does 5 less damage to Essence-users.

Firing Modes: All modes inflict a -2 internal penalty from stomach distress as a Crippling effect on hit. If the target fails a Stamina + Resistance Test at a variable difficulty, they lose bowel control and the internal penalty for social rolls increases to (motes spent +2).

Loose/Watery/Fiery: 2 motes Stam+Resistance Difficulty: 3

The standard mode for dealing with annoying people. Damage from the beam is bashing.

Prolapse/Burning Anal Geyser/Rectal Volcano: 3 motes Stam+Resistance Difficulty: 4

Damage from the beam is bashing and unsoakable by natural Stamina. As a Crippling effect, the battered rectum means the -2 internal penalty is permanent until treated with a difficulty 4 Intelligence+Medicine roll (2 if magic is used to heal it).

Unspeakable Gut Horror/Fatal Intestinal Maelstrom: 6 motes Stam+Resistance Difficulty: 5

Instantly kills mortals on hit, who explode in a shower of excrement that covers a 5 yard radius around them, inflicting a -4 penalty on social rolls for anyone whose Dodge DV is not higher than 6. Against Essence-channellers, damage from the beam is lethal and unsoakable by natural Stamina, and they explode as mortals if they are killed by the beam.

World of Shit: +4m

This mode can only be used with the Explosive Diarrhea mode, and serves to expand its area of effect into a 50 yard cone that is 20 yards across at its widest point. Mass combat units invert their formation bonus against melee attacks into an equivalent penalty and take rout checks at +1 difficulty. Social combat units disperse immediately unless the leader spends Loyalty equal to the amount of HLs dealt to the unit.

The mote cost of World of Shit does not otherwise increase the internal penalty for social rolls imposed by the Gutbuster.
