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

“The words spoiled in your mouth,
mister Nicholas” A flicked match singed the
banker’s suit coat. “You never wanted to
help those people. But I’m going to help you.
Help you become a better person.” The
accompanying screams could have shattered
steel. When the bank opened the next
morning, all that remained was a splatter of
blood.
Frontline combatants against the
retched art of treachery, followers of Blood
strive to be good to their word, and also to
keep others honest. After all, it was deceit
that first caused the Collapse. Those who
will not be righteous will be punished.
Those who continually infract will not live
to pass another lie as truth. These Oroboroi
judge harshly, and the world warps around
their sense of honor.
Followers of Blood are sadists.
Clever, smooth, and attentive, nothing
escapes their gaze and words are not
forgotten. Conversation with a known
Blood Dragon should not be taken lightly,
lest you walk into an agreement you aren’t
even aware of. The fine print will be the
death of you. No, seriously, you’ll die.
Blood Dragons are obsessive-compulsive
executioners.
The oath does not exclude Tricksters
from this school of thought, although they
are rare and often less prosperous than
members from other methods. Blood
Tricksters quickly learn to say things in a
way that does not entangle them legally or
mystically. In some ways, they’re actually
better at keeping promises than Blood
Dragons of other methods.
In regards to Province, a Blood
Dragon sees property as a beautiful yet
hopelessly fragile piece of crystal. It is a
sign of prestige, but care must be taken to
use it properly or it will be damaged.
Keeping it locked away isn’t an option

either, as that would defeat its purpose. The
Dragon must rather by courageous yet
cautious with her Province, willing to
defend it with violence if it is threatened.
Mannerism: Blood Dragons are
clean-cut and formal, usually wearing
appropriate business vestments for any
given outing. They are tidy, industrious, and
efficient to the letter, and a great modicum
of respect is rightly gifted to them for that.
Blood Dragons run their Provinces like a
business. Punctuality and dedication are
important, and those that do not practice
those virtues are a waste of money and time.
Philosophy: All followers of Blood
hold close the power of locked oath.
Though unable to force action on others,
they can guarantee someone sticks to a
promise, and in many cases that is all the
more potent. Their presence keeps people
honest by means of their world view leaking
into material form. With Breath, that
honesty can be made to face the greatest of
deterrents unshaken.
Background: Blood Dragons have
been hurt in the past. They recognize the
faults of poorly chosen words, and of
haphazard vows made without care for
consequence. They take it upon themselves
to make the consequences real, so fewer
people suffer from empty promises. Many
are charged by the hope the world can be
made better through their protection, so the
Blood school calls to them.
Character Creation: Followers of
Blood are clever, quick on their feet, and
their interpersonal skills are unparalleled.
Their deadpan serious nature makes them
feel trustworthy, and others use them for
advice when they are spiraling out of control.
Little do they know that their words will be
turned against them if they stray. Presence
is a Blood Dragon’s biggest ally, followed
by Resolve and Composure. Wits makes a
