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

friends. They’re far too dangerous for that.
If close attention is paid to a Tears Dragon,
it is easy to tell that something is off about
them. For them, everyone is a tool to be
exploited. That makes them great for
stirring up a crowd, but one can never be
sure what exactly a Tears Dragon is after.
Philosophy: Tears Dragons have
control over the emotions that are tied to
memory. With just a little effort, they can
change the associations that may exist
between an emotion and a memory, moving
them to their needs. Many of the
philosophy’s powers neutralize emotion
completely, an ironic punishment
considering the core mentality of the Tears
School. Tears Dragons feel the world does
not care enough, and their ideology drains
into the world to prove them right.
Background: All Tears Dragons
have been hurt in the past by indifference.
Maybe they were maimed and no one came
to the rescue. Maybe they slumped into
depression and none sympathized with their
plight. Whatever the case, it has made them
bitter and driven them to force reactions,
whatever those reactions may be. Being an
Oroboroi gives them the endurance to
survive the consequences of their
puppeteering.
Character Creation: Followers of
Tears are terribly smart. And they’re
charming; charming enough to get what they
want without ever coming off as the bad guy.
It is unlikely anyone would seek out a Tears
Dragon, they simply fall into the lives of
others and manipulate them to their bizarre
ends. Tears Dragons rarely practice
physical skills; they tend to flee when in
danger.
Tears Dragons love the social skills,
but none more than Empathy. It is the
cornerstone of their puppet strings. Other
favored skills are Expression, Persuasion,
and Socialize. Those worth their weight
also practice the art of Subterfuge. Pretty
much everything about them revolves
around the core deception, which makes for
an uneasy alliance should anyone Den with
them.
Province: Parent Teacher
Associations, Country Clubs, and other
borderless groupings with a central locus are
the Provinces of choice for a Tears Dragon.
The membership gives them freedom to
interact with the visitors and residents
without too much suspicion, and the
clubhouse gives them a place to fall back on
in the event of a lull. The perfect Province
for a Tears Dragon is one that never sleeps,
one that cries out or sings to the mountains.
Unfortunately sorrow is easier to sow than
joy.
Concept: angel of death, actor,
musician, postman, reporter, nurse, lawyer,
politician, homeless prophet, serial killer,
ventriloquist.
Quote: Come now, it’s okay to cry.
That’s why we’re here.
