Kirie Millard Tecklenburg

Concept: The Lady of Black Magic on the path to the Kingdom

The Odd Man Out
The Fimbulwinter approaches. It cannot be stopped but the runes say the approach might yet be prolonged. Sometimes you don't pick your compatriots. So why complain? There's a job to be done! ("What?! Why are you shooting the Plutonian flying moths?") (The only sane person in a group of Technomancers)

Primary: You get a powerful magic artifact (Talisman 5), Lore (Your Tradition) at 3, and Lore (Something Supernatural) at 3. You probably have Spirit instead of dimensional science. Everyone thinks you might stab them in the back and they don't trust you much (effectively the "Probationary Member" flaw).

The Badass
I escaped the Sphere of Swallowed Darkness. Never again.

Secondary: +2 Willpower, either Prodigy (any combat ability) and +1 to a physical attribute OR Legendary Attribute (any physical)

Character

For she who knows not the way she must walk
Life is sweet but with little reward
She who wields a sword
Must be prepared to shed her blood
Pain she must endure
And know too well that she must be strong
--Power Symphony, Way of the Sword.

Born to Rolf Teckleburg, an minor official in the German embassy in Tokyo, and Sachiko Toki. Immigrated, or returned for Rolf, back to the mountains of Bavaria where summers were spent in sport and winters in the mountains of Norway skiing. For her initiation into the Keepers of Yggdrasil Kirie hung for nine days and nights at the threshold of life and death listening to the whispers of the beheaded Mimir.

Shiroki Tsuki no Henshoku 13 pts. (Base: Sword d3+Str) d6+str. (Arete: 6, 30/30 Quint). -3 difficulty for Damage rolls. +1

Reputedly forged by the master smith Zan-Zei for the retired Emperor Go-Toba with the express purpose of assassinating the regent Hojo Yoshitoki. Sadly the blade was never used for its intended purpose as the regent died of illness in 1224. Shiroki Tsuki-no-Henshoku thereafter passed through the hands of Zan-Zei's descendants until at some point coming into possession of the Janissary Adriana Burke-Sheffield under unknown circumstances (but perhaps during her travel to Hong Kong in 1995) and then into Kirie's hand after the massacre of House Janissary. The blade itself is an experimental essay in the art of sword-crafting; ahead of its time in every respect, forged with a deep understanding of what would become the sphere of matter, the sword of Fading Moonlight cuts beyond its apparent ability (Matter for the extra damage, and Prime 2 for aggravated). In its forging this blade was imbued with a desire to kill, and so whenever drawn Shiroki Tsuki-no-Henshoku must kill somebody or it satiates its need for blood by cutting its wielder, dealing 1 unsoakable aggravated damage. Upon unsheathing Shiroki Tsuki-no-Henshoku Kirie rolls Arete and on a success appears behind a hostile target and launches an melee attack. It's final function (and one not thought to have been imbued into the weapon by its original crafter) is to call upon the powers of the kami Kagutsuchi, creating a inferno which is shaped dependent on the intent of the wielder. Usually the intent is not to be fried by one's own attack. (Arete, Forces 5/Prime 2/Corr 2)

Merits and Flaws

Calling Card: (+2) Must leave a sign of her presence wherever she doesn't wish it. (Euthantos Revised 70)
Nightmares (+1)
Mistaken Identity: (+1) Be it that she was in a dress the last time it happened - or that she was coming off accidentally on purpose poisoning by her mentor that made her sluggish - Kirie at times has the most aggravating misfortune to be confused with somebody that needs rescuing quite possibly (disturbingly) after being kidnapped with the aim of marriage. So far it's happened once. Faust's Burden (+3) Kirie made a contract that was not to her advantage. Still, life was had. (Blood Treachery, 88)
Probationary Member (Effective, from The Odd Man Out)
Legendary Attribute (Dex) Free.
