OK, closing the vote. The winners are
(by a considerable margin), with Viper narrowly edging out Peacock to get the 200XP and the upgrade to Initiate.
Again, as it is Wood Aspected, that means Rena gets a Charm.
This Charm pick will - as all Charm picks do - somewhat shape future charms offered in the Style. Nerve-Crippling Strike indicates more reliance on poison and precision, Life-Hunting Eye suggests a focus on tracking and hunting (based on how vipers hunt), and Disturbed Snake Stance is the counter-attack heavy, more "conventional" fighter with their twin swords.
Pick One Viper Style Charm
[ ] Nerve-Crippling Strike - Rena has focused on the Viper Style art of striking at nerve clusters, introducing small amounts of spiritual poison with each blow. This can cripple parts of the body of weak or heavily injured opponents, and cause increased pain and heavy bleeding in stronger ones. Against human opponents she has memorised these weak points, but against inhuman foes such as fae or demons, she must first learn where these vulnerabilities are before she can use this technique.
[ ] Life-Hunting Eye - Opening a spiritual simulacra of the viper's third eye, Rena gains the ability to see threats even in pitch darkness. As Rena is a Wood Aspect, her Life-Hunting Eye senses the vital essence of Creation's inhabitants; creatures like fae and demons are hard to detect, and the Dead and automata are entirely invisible.
[ ] Disturbed Snake Stance - A counter-attack stance, used by Viper Style fighters when facing an opponent who is overly rash or underestimates them. Taking advantage of her opponent's incautious moves, Rena lashes out with repeated strikes or thrusts showing considerably increased strength and speed for this burst of motion. This stance is physically exhausting, and is much less effective against a cautious foe or one who keeps their distance.
