Mascot & Magic: Revival

[Royal_Sword13]

Name: "Do-Gi"

[Spark Count: 5]

Powers
Starborn: You are a Starborn, your true self is a being of starlight and mystic flame born from the heart of the Sanctum Aetherius. You possess the power to nurture the Embers of Magic left behind in humans into full flames, turning them into Champions. You are sensitive to mystical energies and can detect those with the Embers from a distance.

Mascot Body: You have a small, cute body that acts as the vessel for your essence. While it doesn't need sustenance, consuming food is something it can do. If your Mascot Body is slain, your true essence will be exposed and left vulnerable.

Might of Titans: Your Mascot body can be transformed into a bigger and stronger version of itself, allowing you to fight alongside Champions. If defeated in this form, revert back into your default Mascot form.

Flames of the Phoenix: You possess the flames of life, allowing you to heal injuries and cure ailments such as disease and poison. If your Mascot body is killed, you will revive in an fiery explosion instead of being left vulnerable. You can also revive the recently deceased, though the pain of dying and psychological trauma is not removed.

Grudge of Aetherius: +10 to Combat when fighting Dregs and Accursed, -20 when trying to disengage from combat with Dregs and Accursed. Must roll to resist going berserk when detecting hidden Dregs.

Inventory:

Pandoran Vessel: A large pithos depicting demons being chained and fed to a giant skull. It is a sealing Magic item used to seal the Accursed and contain them until the ritual to erase them.

Spoiler: The Accursed

The Accused are the shades of those who crafted the Twelve Rings of Creation in order to perform a ritual that would give them the power to be Gods Among Gods, however their infighting and greed for power instead lead to the Sundering. Over the years since the Starborn have been sent out to act as Mascots and form teams of champions, five out of the twelve Accursed have been consigned to Oblivion, their very being erased from the tapestry of existence itself. The Ultimate Death. Each Accursed wields immense power even in their diminished states and requires an entire team of champions to take down and seal away so that they could be destroyed properly later. Simply killing an Accursed through regular means will only scatter their essence where they will reform later somewhere else.

The Slain Accursed are:
[NAME ERASED], The Will-Breaker
[NAME ERASED], The Flesh Twister
[NAME ERASED], The Thorn Queen
[NAME ERASED], The Blood-Iron Tyrant
[NAME ERASED], The Fell Tempest

The Living Accused are:

Xazoth, The Dreadwyrm of Incineration
Gozzamas, Queen of The Frigid Deep
Kogmanith, The Ruin Maker
Jolmaroth, The Mistress of Ill-Wind
Thalvomon, Overlord of The Black Moon
Xazonul, Phoenix of The Pale Sun
[UNKNOWN], The Forgotten One.

Recommendation: Once a proper foothold is made, begin construction/request Sealing Vessels immediately. Slaying the Accursed takes priority over all other objectives.

Spoiler: Dregs

Minions of the Accursed, born of their corruptive essence. Little more than dark spirits on their own, they can possess people, animals, and objects in order to gain physical form and enact their dark master's will.

Dreg Beasts are the results of possessing animals, looking like larger and twisted parodies of the vessel the Dreg is using. Killing a Dreg Beast will not kill the vessel, as the Beast itself is more a projection around the vessel instead of an actually mutated body.

Dreg Golems are what happens if a Dreg possesses an item from something as small as a hand mirror to something large like an air plane. While slightly more intelligent than Beasts, Golems are effectively robots that lack a true mind of their own and focus on completing a set of objectives for the sake of the Accursed they serve.

Dreg Demons are both the weakest and the most dangerous form a Dreg can obtain. By possessing a human, a Dreg can either transform them immediately or instead choose to 'hibernate' inside the person. Those who are immediately transformed are little more powerful than the average adult mundane human and go down in a few good hits*. However, those who choose to hibernate and wait attache themselves closer to their unsuspecting host's soul, feeding on it and growing stronger while the host steadily declines in health, both physically and mentally. Should a Dreg be allowed to finish hibernating, their host will die as their soul is consumed completely and the Dreg Demon takes over the body.

A Dreg Demon who has reached this point my transform into a form that reflects the soul they have consumed. If they possessed a racer then they will have a form based on speed and racing, while one that possessed a gardener would have plant powers. It is not known what would happen if a Dreg tried to possess someone with an Ember, as most Dregs seek to kill any Champion instead of using possession.

(*Mechanically, you only need a single battle success to take out an Immature Dreg Demon.)
