Merits (4)
Aptitude 1 – Performance. He is just that good of a musician.
Oracular Ability 3 – His connection to the Song grants him a waking ability to see portents and the future, even without tapping into the Dream for guidance.
Flaws (6)
The Bard's Tongue 1 – The power of the Sound is that all things are affected by it. Even the simplest things can echo and set off events that can destroy the world. Ryan's connection to the Song makes his voice manifest this power, even without his intent.
Mistaken Identity 1 – He is not Orpheus, the Greek poet and musician who could traverse the lands of death to bring back his wife. While he often uses Orphic beliefs as his
Ineptitude 1 – Stealth. It's just so difficult for a man who bases his entire existence on sound to be quiet.
Conditional Magic 3 – Deaf People. People who are denied the ability to feel sound, while still able to feel vibrations, lose enough faculty that Ryan's magic doesn't take with them. They cannot be directly affected by his power.
