Dragon: The Embers Core Book - MrGone's Character Sheets

Hungry ruin any chance of Oroboroi
prosperity.
Conspirators
Conspirators
Like mortals, Oroboroi Conspirators
are a personal and not a societal threat.
Holding themselves on high as judges,
Conspirators spirit away Hearts and ‘gift’
them to mortals, with the justification that a
better Dragon is possible. For Dragons that
don’t meet the standard of the Conspirators,
life can become quite a hardship.
Conspirators rarely fight their
condemned in open combat, but that doesn’t
mean they never do. Often they find ways
to subcontract Heart location and retrieval,
though, so the condemned Oroboroi rarely
knows what’s coming until she’s toast.
Just like the Hungry, there’s no way
to tell a Conspirator from any other Dragon.
They may even forge dens, only to snatch
away the most precious possession when
guards drop. Sometimes a condemned
Dragon gets lucky and changes the opinion
of the undercover Conspirator, but such is
the exception and not the norm.
Those Those that that Hunt Hunt for for Blood
Blood
Dragon blood, while not inherently
mystical, still has some pretty interesting
properties. Like a finely aged wine, the
Blood becomes full bodied and timeless as it
passes through the Furnace. Coating an
object with it causes it to resist the tests of
time, until the blood itself has been washed
away. Those that hunt a Dragon for her
blood want it for this peculiar quality.
Knights Knights of of the the Bloody Bloody Chalice
Chalice
There are men who learned a secret
about blood, that secret being the key to
immortality. Subjected to the faith of three,
the blood becomes a mystical panacea that
restores youth and strength, at least for one
year. The one seeking this boon must bathe
in the blood long enough to coat his entire
body once… and the person from which the
blood is stolen must perish.
Those that whisk away others to
perform this ritual vainly call themselves the
Knights of the Bloody Chalice, as its initial
conception was forged in the feudal days of
the Collapse. Though any blood will do,
supernatural blood is preferred for its
extraordinary qualities, and the blood of a
Dragon is particularly coveted. Its trait of
timelessness can be applied to the Knight
through this ritual, and the application lasts
five times as long as a mortal one.
Knights can blend like mortals,
though not as effectively. Knights of even
moderate status in the Bloody Chalice
conspiracy sweat blood when near another
supernatural. It is a means of finding quality
victims, but also a useful tell for a targeted
Oroboroi. While individual Knights are not
much of a threat, they are never alone.
Vampires
Vampires
Of all the inhabitants of the midnight
world, the Leeches share the most space
with the Oroboroi. Vampires and Dragons
both set up kingdom in the cities, and their
shared longevity makes their interactions a
matter of patience and not fortitude. Truly,
they share a lot of common ground with the
Oroboroi, but where Dragons sustain
themselves on scores of edibles, Vampires
must feed on blood.
For the most part, the Kindred and
the Oroboroi can interact on a peaceable
level. But it is the key difference in their
diet that causes a breakdown. Most Dragons
are uncomfortable with the harming of their
constituents, which is usually how they
interpret the involuntary blood donations.
Then there’s the matter of Dragon blood.
Though there’s no evidence it’s any better
than the mortal variety, the aged nature
holds a flavor the Kindred can’t resist. It’s
almost… narcotic.
Vampires kill Dragons to get a taste
of their blood. Or rather, pints of it. An
attentive Dragon can recognize a Vampire’s
supernatural tendencies with enough
