Paradigm

"Washing and soaking restores life to that which was weakened, cutting removes that which is sick, fire chastens and purifies, and spices anoint and sanctify. In a way, assassination is a lot like cooking, you know?"
-Priya Narang, on her part-time job

Priya's paradigm is largely adherent to the orthodox Chakravanti viewpoint imparted to her by her parents, which ascribes to reality a cyclical and dynamic nature. The world began in a fundamentally sagacious and perfect state during the first of the yugas and has fallen slightly with each step to this current era- the flawed and corrupt kali yuga. Recorded and recent history shows that Hinduism has come under attack by foreigners and more malign influences, that sacred death rites have been interrupted and broken apart by the ignorant and that the very essence of sacred magic has become tainted.

Her style of magick is essentially a series of protracted ritual cleansing that intend to restore the world to its rightful state and advance on to the next stage of the cycle, where all will be as new. Her knife shears through weakness and frailty, her food nourishes and restores that which was missing and through exercise she refines herself into a conduit for the ideal forms of forces outside herself.

Foci and Spheres

  • Prana// Life 3 - Bladed weapons, athleticism, food, spices, the element of water.
  • Tamas// Entropy 1 - Bladed weapons, carved bones, Sanskrit etching.
  • Teios// Forces 2 - Bladed weapons, athleticism, the element of fire, Sanskrit etching.

Rotes

Lesser Nagaastra// Forces 2, Life 3 Gathers kinetic force to a point and softens flesh where the point touches, causing catastrophic damage to an enemy as the force is unleashed outwards in a cone/separates flesh as it radiates out across a slicing pattern. This is an imperfect recreation of an Astra and requires greater understanding of Life.

Nagapaasha// Forces 2, Life 3 Smothers the eyes of the target in serpentine shapes, blinding them permanently.

Lesser Suryaastra// Entropy 1, Forces 2 Generates a blinding light, akin to a flashbang. This is an imperfect recreation of an Astra and requires greater understanding of Forces.

Eyes of Shiva// Entropy 1, Forces 1, Life 1 Perceives the weaknesses in the flesh of a target and allows one to optimally exploit and slice apart a living being with a simple blade by taking on the qualities of the Destroyer. Also gives nightvision and the ability to perceive living creatures at range and through surfaces. It will be improved by the comprehension of additional pattern spheres.

Legs of Vayu// Forces 2, Life 2 Renders the caster's body too supple to be harmed by simple stresses and drives kinetic force to where it is needed, allowing for tall drops and running across vertical surfaces. Their steps also become as quiet as the wind in spite of running at full stride.

Lesser Vajra// Entropy 1, Forces 2 Finds a convenient point and overloads the local electrical grid, potentially harming people and equipment. This is an imperfect recreation of an Astra and requires greater understanding of Forces.

Backgrounds

Arcane 1// People tend to ignore the underage girl with the twisting, living shadow wandering the streets at night. More than normal.
Avatar 4// Wheels within wheels, always turning, always moving. Priya's avatar is especially strong for her age.
Resources 1// Makes a nice bit of cash at the cake shop after school, and her parents give a decent allowance.
Mentor 1// "Mum is a skilled Chakravanti healer and works as a doctor at the local hospital. She's kinda busy nowadays and is always tired, though."
Mentor 4// "Dad was a respected Vratir assassin before he almost fell into Jhor and needed to retire. He owns the cafe and cake shop where I work after school, and oversees my training for the most part."

Merits and Flaws

Merits

Acute Senses// The eyes of a hawk, the ears of a rabbit and the smell of a bloodhound. All difficulties for rolls involving senses are reduced by -2.
Catlike Balance// Running on walls and across the tops of fences is small-time. All difficulties for rolls involving balance or body coordination are reduced by -2.
Concentration// Priya was trained by a former member of the Chalice who might secretly be grooming her to do the same, and organizes all sorts of arduous training exercises on weekends. She takes no penalties from non-harmful environmental conditions or things like being thrown around, hung upside down, etc.
Daredevil// Priya is spirited and tends to lose herself to the whims of dynamism, but always comes out of it better than her peers. Risky actions reward an additional 3 dice and ignore a single rolled 1.
Light Sleeper// Priya can manage a hectic lifestyle that involves being a full-time student, fighting crime and an exhaustive training due to a very basic ritual she carried out about a year ago. The only consequence of it is that she needs to have quite a large portion of caffeine every day.

Flaws

Addiction// Priya is hopelessly addicted to caffeine and cannot maintain her exhaustive, nearly sleepless schedule without it.
Child// A teenager with a youthful face. Gets carded a lot.
Echoes// A swirling, undulating shadow with white eyes darts beneath Priya's feet, restless and acting out her unspoken desires against the people and scenery around her.
Ward// "My boyfriend? He's pretty cute... but kind of clueless and starting to poke around the magick scene in Devon. I'm a little worried, honestly."
