Sindaen/Unique Backgrounds For The Gray

SMOKE SCREEN
You have a good screen for your peculiar habits, and you use it to avoid being identified as a Gray Touched while also keeping in touch with your sources of Necro-Essence. This background also provides dice for the daily job of hunting for Necro-Essence.

x None, you are on your own.

O Small job at the local cemetery.

OO Member of funerary temple in a small city.

OOO Head of a small guild of tomb looters in Nexus.

OOOO Funerary Priest of Sijan.

OOOOO Cemetery administrator of Sijan.

SPIRIT MENTOR
You have a Disease spirit as a mentor, it requires one extra mote of Necro-Essence as a tribute daily, but provides you with important information, mentoring and protection. At Storyteller´s discretion, the Gray can have extra bonus points to distribute, representing mentoring given to the character by a spirit.

x None, you have only ocassional mentorship.

O Troublesome Disease Spirit (Gonorrhea Spirit, Essence 4 or less).

OO Dangerous Disease Spirit (Leprosy Spirit, Essence 5).

OOO First Circle Disease Spirit (Servant of Kel-Aina, Essence 6).

OOOO Second Circle Disease Spirit (Servant Of The Crone Of Fire, Essence 7)

OOOOO Third Circle Disease Spirit (Servant Of The Nameless God, Essence 8+)

For each point of this background, the Storyteller can give the player 1 extra bonus point to distribute on: Attributes, Abilities & Specialties (Specially those asossiated with the treatment or spreading of that particular spirit´s disease) and Willpower & Virtues. This background can be a good plot hook if all the troupe has the same Spirit Mentor. Note that Spirits are cruel and selfish creatures and demand one mote of Necro-Essence burn at their behalf each morning in adittion to the mote all Gray loose for each passing day.
