Character Description
White Soul Weeping is the spawn of a powerful nemissary and an unfortunate mortal woman. Raised on the edge of a shadowland as an elite warrior, he was dedicated to the cause of the Malfeans. He has a blunt though calculating personality and uses his martial prowess to sow havoc and reap the dead.
Thanks to impressive Solar Presence-fu on the part of Captain Kaizoku, he's now a loyal (mostly) follower of the Captain's cause, though the brainwashing has caused him to lose a point each of Willpower and Conviction due to the crumbling of his old beliefs.
In appearance, White Soul Weeping is distinctly unnatural. He is an albino, almost as white as old bones, and uses this to good effect. He favors white with red accents for his clothing and gear, and whenever possible rides a white steed. Now that he has joined up with Captain Kaizoku, he shrouds himself in a huge black cloak, hood, and veil.
As written for Pirate, Monkey, White Soul Weeping is a servant of the Walker in Darkness, wreaking havoc along the Yanaze in an effort to both weaken the Eastern Scavenger Lands and to create a shadowland and toe-hold for the Deathlord. In other campaigns, he could be used as any sort of bandit lord with little modification, or as a lieutenant in an army of the dead by replacing Followers with Command.
To use WSW in his original form, add 1 dot each of Willpower and Conviction, Followers or Command 5, Patron 2, and Resources 2.
Tactics
In combat, White Soul Weeping will stand back for the first few rounds of battle while his followers attack. He will identify the most dangerous opponent, and rush in to engage that person in hand to hand. If there appear to be no truly formidable warriors on the opposite side, he'll swing into the thickest fighting with his great daiklaive.
In the grand scheme of things, White Soul Weeping tries to go for poorly defended merchant ships that don't belong to the Guild -- he doesn't want to draw their attention until he is much stronger.
Comments
I really like this character's name. Consider it stolen. :¬) - Voidstate
