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

Fork Fork-Tongued Fork Tongued (Seven (Seven of of Hearts) Hearts)
Hearts)
The European mythos of Dragonkind
weaves them as sly and eloquent
monsters. Likewise when lizards and snakes
are anthropomorphized their forked tongues
are tools of social espionage, wielded as
foils in social combat. These stereotypes
have leeched into Dragon anatomy, making
Oroboroi possessed of forked tongue
excellent speakers.
For each odd point manifest, the
Dragon gains a +1 bonus to Subterfuge. For
each even point manifest, the Dragon gains a
+1 bonus to Expression. When Willpower
is spent to improve a roll, all these bonuses
are doubled.
Type: Odd/Even
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
While this Aspect is manifest, the
Dragon’s tongue splits at the tip, like that of
the snake. Some are known to flit the
tongue in and out as they speak, though that
trait isn’t anchored to the Aspect itself.
Colossal Colossal Beast Beast (Six (Six of of Hearts)
Hearts)
Dragons are not tiny. Very rarely is
a Dragon in fiction depicted smaller than a
full-grown stallion, and most stretch
hundreds of feet in length. People, however,
are quite small, and the Oroboroi are at their
core people. To that extent, the grandeur of
their size has been greatly exaggerated. Still,
some do go big instead of going home, and
those that do wear this Aspect.
Each point manifest in this Aspect
increases the Dragon’s Size trait by 1. This
of course causes Health dots to increase by 1
per point. The Dragon may apply the points
manifest in this aspect as a bonus to
overpowering maneuvers in grappling
(though not in the initial grab).
Type: Sequential
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
gets noticeably taller, bulkier, and more
muscled. Any who’d seen her before
manifesting the Aspect is sure to notice the
difference, and even if she’s a stranger
someone of such massive proportions is sure
to be noticed. At higher levels of
manifestation, the Dragon’s size rivals that
of a small family automobile.
Soothing Soothing Incense Incense (Five (Five of of of Hearts) Hearts)
Hearts)
Not so much a trait of Dragons as it
is a feature of smoking in general, there is
something about the waft of nostril fog that
is… relaxing. When the Dragon uses this
Aspect the heat of their furnace cloys in the
air and falls as heavy smoke from the
nostrils.
Scented like a dozen spices, this
mystic smoke makes the Dragon an instant
socialite. For each odd point manifest, she
gains a +1 bonus to Socialize, and for each
even point manifest she gains a +1 bonus to
Persuasion. These bonuses only apply to
those who can smell the scented smoke.
When Willpower is spent to improve a roll,
the bonuses provided by this Aspect are
doubled.
Type: Odd/Even
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant (Exhaling more Smoke)
While this Aspect is manifest, the
Dragon’s nostrils let out a waft of thick
smoke each time she exhales. The smoke
can be made even thicker with a hearty
emptying of the lungs. The bonuses
provided by this Aspect may be reduced by
situational modifiers that pertain to smell,
and the smoke may disperse if not
maintained. Without some sort of prop to
explain the smoke, this Aspect comes off
very suspicious.
