Sisyphus Yeshar

Back to the main page

Appearance

Sisyphus is a looming figure of a man, his size reminiscent of one of the Astartes more than a normal man. His ancestry is equally clear, with three pitch-black eyes crowning his head - one on each side, normal but for their lack of detectable iris or white, and one in the middle of his forehead. His pineal eye sparkles with what appears to be (to the bold or foolhardy individual gazing into it) stars alien to any sky, and its lid is thick and heavy. He disdains the use of a headscarf, leaving a cowl and his eyelid alone to protect those around him from errant bursts of warp energy. If neither suffices, then they were weak and unworthy of notice in the first place. He lacks hair on his head completely - whether by choice or by heredity nobody knows - and his features are regular, although his nose is large and flattened somewhat against his face. His thin-lipped mouth rarely smiles... which is all for the better, for his smiles are not the friendliest in appearance or in meaning.

Talents

Navigator Powers

• (Novice) Gaze into the Abyss: Sisyphus is skilled at perceiving the warp-borne gifts of others, and can even track them somewhat.
  • A Perception Test determines if a target holds the taint of the warp (psy-rating, 20+ corruption, posessed, etc). Can be used for psychic Tracking of such.
• (Novice) Held in My Gaze: Sometimes a target must be kept from using their gifts; Sisyphus is capable of ensuring they stay where they should be, as his prisoner.
  • Opposed Willpower Test against target within 30m, on a success target is locked and will remain so until another power is used and must beat Navigator to use powers. Daemons take +1 damage from Warp Instability.
• (Novice) The Lidless Stare: Sometimes, all that falls under Sisyphus' gaze must perish.
  • Opposed Willpower Test against all within 15 metres, any who fail take 1d10 + WB Energy damage (ignores non-warded armour and toughness) and is Stunned for 1 round. Costs 1 Fatigue.
• (Novice) Stripping the Husk: A trained Navigator can damage only a single target with their gaze.
  • Opposed Willpower Test against target, on a success do 1d10 R damage that ignores non-warded Armour; target is automatically Knocked Prone.

Equipment

Weapons

• (Best) Hellpistol: While Sisyphus is oft seen using his warp-borne powers in combat, a trusty sidearm is never far from his side. Some foes do not respond best to arcane destruction, but to the familiar ionization of a hellpistol. Sisyphus' pistol is, like much of his equipment, of the finest quality and covered with gold decorations that nevertheless do not decrease its lethality.
  • pistol class, 35m range, S/2/- rate of fire, 1d10+4 E damage, 7 penetration, 40 clip size, 2 full round reload, 4kg, rare
• (Best) Metal Staff: Sisyphus carries a staff of some unknown black alloy, although it is covered with thousands of small gold-engraved symbols of arcane meaning known only to himself. If pressed, he claims that they assist him in navigating the warp and, indeed, the symbols do resemble those found on some of the most ancient of star-charts.
  • +10 to WS, 1d10+1 I, Balanced, Primitive, 3 kg, plentiful

Armour

• (Best) Xeno-Mesh Armour: Sisyphus' robes cover the finest of light-weight black scaled mesh armour, possibly of xeno origin, which glistens in the light when exposed by enemy fire.
  • Arms/Body/Legs, AR 4, 1 kg, Rare
• Modified Nobilite Robes
