==Facts Et Cetera==
 
==Facts Et Cetera==
*'''Origin:''' Created in the Bright Republic as an advanced android prototype, with pseudorganic components over an advanced cybernetic endoskeleton. (She's comfortable with technology, although not necessarily an expert. She's accustomed to more "modern" culture, and forms of government and corporate organization. Her brain does computer-type stuff.)
+
'''*Origin:''' Created in the Bright Republic as an advanced prototype, melding sorcerous engineered biology and cybernetic enhancements. She escaped, and sought freedom on the road. (Uses: She's not human, and has lot of Bright Republic electronics built into her. The gem in her forehead can act as a high-powered LED-esque flashlight, and she's got the equivalent of a built-in smartphone and high-powered laptop. So she can take photos and "view" them later, or do the party's bookkeeping in her head, but she doesn't have a printer or screen to display those things to others. Also, outside the reach of the etheric nodes, she's not going to actually be able to make calls or use the compass/GPS stuff.)
*'''Career:''' She adopted the name Serendipity and worked as an adventurer for a few years, delving into ancient ruins and hiring out her sword along with a band of like-minded misfits. She retired out of low-grade dungeon diving as her powers more fully manifested. (She knows how to do D&D-adventurer-stuff. Find a secret door, pack a backpack correctly, tell a real gem from a fake, play cards and get rumors in a tavern.)

*'''Relationship:''' One of the adventurers she became close friends with, a rogue and assassin named Caterina, was later revealed to be a Vissian aristocrat slumming it. She returned to her life of wealth and power, but the two still exchange letters. (Uses: Plot hooks, knows stuff about Vissio specifically, speaks the language, would have allies and sanctuary if she went there.)

(Uses: Plot hooks, knows stuff about Vissio specifically, probably speaks the language, would have allies and sanctuary if she went there.)
*'''Goal:''' Figure out why she has powers. She's never heard the term "Godbound" and doesn't know what that is or where they come from. She initially thought her abilities were things that had been built into her - but being a technorganic construct doesn't give you Dominion, or the ability to influence minds and weather patterns.

*'''L2 Fact:''' Political Animal. Serendipity has dove straight into intrigue and practical political concerns when given the chance.

*'''L3 Fact:'''

'''*Description:''' Serendipity appears to be a woman in her early 20s, pale with dark hair. On closer examination, the gemstone in the center of her forehead isn't an item of jewelry, but is instead a part of her body. Her eyes are also too jewel-like in their clarity to be natural. She normally dresses in dark blue or purple clothing and favors silver or platinum jewelry. She's kind, generous, and brave, but also loves money.

*Warbot: Your robotic body is built for military conflicts. You gain a natural AC of 3, integral magical weaponry that does 1d10 damage out to 200 feet, and an immunity to any weapons that are neither magical nor suitable for disabling armored vehicles. You are not immune to environmental damage or other sources of injury that would harm a vehicle, but lesser hazards can be ignored. Your maximum hit points increase by 1 per level.
+
*Body of Iron Will: Your natural armor class is 3. You are impervious to any natural environmental damage, such as that caused by extreme heat, cold, pressure, radiation, or vacuum. Such forces used as a weapon or hazard against you function normally. Armor or shields don't benefit this base AC.
*Upgraded Armature: Your body has been improved, gaining a flight speed equal to your ground movement, an integral polymorphic toolkit that can substitute as any man-portable equipment or object you may require as an On Turn action, and one physical attribute of your choice increased to 16. The armature cannot emulate equipment the Word of Engineering could not easily conjure.

*Effort of the Word: Serendipity is tireless and has an extra point of Effort.

*Inherent: You are a super-intelligent artificial mind. Your Intelligence score becomes 19, granting a +4 attribute bonus. Your physical attributes and hit points represent the body or device your mind inhabits, whatever shape it may possess; if robotic, this body requires neither sustenance nor rest. You cannot transfer your intelligence from this body or survive its destruction without appropriate gifts. Your body is automatically wirelessly connected to any local computing network or device that lacks divine-level computer security
+
*Inherent: Heroes with the Word of Passion are blessed with grace and an understanding of the heart. Charisma is set to 16.
 
*Heart of the Lion: You have an invincible defense against fear and all unwanted emotion-affecting effects. You may Commit Effort for the scene as an Instant action to share this immunity with all allies within 100 yards.

*Follow the Threads: You may study a target for one action to identify the half-dozen people most emotionally significant to them, learning their appearance, the name the target knows them as, and a few words of description of the bond between them. Lesser foes cannot resist this, while worthy foes can save versus Spirit to maintain their secrets.

*Clouds Below: Commit Effort. Fill the air around you with mist, up a 300 foot radius. You and your allies can see through it, but others with normal senses can see no further than five feet around them. The clouds can douse any mundane fire and allow every ally within it to ignore the first 5 points of fire damage they take each round.

*Stormsword: Commit effort to use electricity as a weapon. See above.
*Windsinger: Commit Effort. Control weather within a mile, from still air to rainstorms strong enough to knock down fragile structures and make mundane archery impossible, Weather changes occur instantly on use of this gift and last as long as Effort remains committed. When released, the weather rapidly returns to its normal condition.
