    MERITS​
    ARTIFACT (*****) - THE LENS LANCE
    DESCRIPTION: Forged in a heartbeat, lurking within the machine for ten thousand years, the fury and spirit of a barely tamed gravitic imploder lance - long mistaken for and used as an agrav system aboard an orbital habitat - has been once more aroused to the glory of battle. Though her functions are as of yet locked behind codewalls and mystery, she remains a terrifying weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior. Her legend will burn across the galaxy.

    FAMILIAR (**) - GITTA, THE EVER LOYAL
    DESCRIPTION: They say the Kriegers pour their hearts into their horses - but beyond their world, none know their mounts as anything but numbers on an Administratum file. Gitta will change that. Ia! Ia! Praise her! Praise Sainted Gitta, The Ever Loyal! Ia! Ia!

    TEMPERED BY THE ELEMENTS (**) - DAUGHTER OF VATS, BORN OF WAR
    DESCRIPTION: Though fading into seeming insignificance in the glorious dawn of a new age, the first Twilight to walk the galaxy since the fading of the Age of Sorrows was inured to the chaos of a modern battlefield, moving across it as swiftly as open ground.

    SELECTIVE CONCEPTION (*) - SUBDERMAL IMPLANT IN THE THIGH
    DESCRIPTION: ...this is actually just standard issue for Imperial Guardsmen from any world with a Magos Biologis on it.​

    LANGUAGES (*)
    DESCRIPTION: You can speak the ancient tongue of The Old Realm!

    INTIMACIES
    ​










    Defining: The Galaxy is a Body, I will Heal it (Positive)
    Major: Kit (Confused Attraction), Chaos (Hatred), Gitta (Love)
    Minor: Technology (fascination), Xenos (Fear)

    CHARMS​















    IN SUMMATION: Genuis flows, unabated, through the mind of the First Twilight. She is able to hold multiple projects in mind at once, easier than any mortal, while also shifting her focuses - despite not being trained in the crafting of explosives or metallurgy, she could shift her ability to create medical chemicals into that with some effort. She is able to inspire herself to construct even mighty artifacts swifter than any mortal, so long as she crafts projects that aid and help her allies and friends. She can complete mundane and even complex tasks - building a rifle, a suit of armor, or a small vehicle - in literal seconds using nothing but the raw materials and her bare hands. Raw excellence overflows in all her favored and caste abilities, bolstering their dicepools if required.

    I like how they're all, fundamentally, about showing off Gitta.

    Roll charm+performance+3 (stunt, remember, that's +2 dice, +2 successes), with the resolve of merely 1 (Meaning +4 bonus dice for your ludicrous hotness)

    The higher you get, the more excited the hornse party
     
    Edit: Wait, Cha + Performance....shoot, we can't add dice to this..., ok rolling.

    Also, can we spend WP for a bigger honse party?
    Mailstrome threw 3 10-faced dice. Reason: 1+0+2 Total: 20

    Gitta! (6.1) New

    • You sighed. "Would it prove that we're not with the Octet if I showed off my horse?" you called out.

    The men on the gangplank exchanged glances, while Skavik put her hands on her hips. "A horse? What's next, you're going to bring out a dog? Or a cat? Or..." you slid down the railing and the hatch closed. The men on the gangplank shifted and Skavik turned to her forces. She spoke quietly - her voice hushed and quick. She pointed at a few men with crossbows, having them move out. She was used to being attacked by large scale, high damage weaponry - the kind that could sweep clusters of men out of existence as if they had never been. She turned back - just as the cargo hold of the airship unfolded with a whirring click...

    And Gitta sprang from the back of the airship, sailing up into the air and landing. The leap was only slightly farther than she normally have been able to leap - being bred to clear trenchlines that could styme tanks, but you had helped her by simply believing in her, essence flowing and lightening her bound.

    She crashed down onto the grating between two men who sprang backwards, her clawed talons socketing into the grating with scrapes and screeches, and the gangway shifted ever so slightly under her weight as she tossed back her head, her hairless neck glittering in the arclight, her hips twitching in ancient memory of long missing tail. The Lens Lance rested in your stirrup holster as you settled back into the saddle, feeling more at peace now than...

    Good Emperor, the only time you've ever felt like this was in Kit's arms.

    And being in Kit's arms twenty four hours a cycle was not workable.

    You looked down at Skavik, who was gaping, her metal teeth glittering as she took a step back.

    "What..." she whispered, her eyes wide, her irises focusing like a woman who had taken her first hit of slaught. "Is..." She pointed at Gitta. "That!?"
    "This is Gitta," you said, trying to not sound smug and failing. You reached down to pat her broad neck. "I can control her, so she'll only disembowl you if I ask her too."

    Skavik slowly started to walk forward. Her bare fingers gently touched the place where Gitta's resperator fused with her flesh, the cybernetic interlink warm to her touch. Her fingers brushed along her and her eyes glimmered with unshed tears as she breathed. "S-She's more beautiful than anything I've ever seen in my life." She said, then leaned in close, pressing her forehead to the metal plates covering Gitta's forehead. Gitta blew out a thin stream of warm, if filtered, breath into Skavik's face. Skavik beamed and then drew back.

    "I-I...I had no idea!" she said, shaking her head. "You're actually from Creation? Is it as peaceful and bountiful as all the stories say? Where no one has to go hungry?"

    You were silent for a bit.

    "Uh..."

    Kit leaped from the back of the airship and landed beside you. Unlike Gita, he seemed to have simply taken a tiny hop into the air and sailed across without needing to display nearly so much effort. When he landed, it was with a soft ting and he smiled warmly at Skavik, who looked as stunned as when she had seen Gitta, her mouth opening in a quiet O.

    "Depends on which part of Creation," he said, which you realized...was possibly the best answer one could give to that kind of question. Skavik took that answer, cocked her head, then laughed.

    "You know?" she asked. "I think some might be disappointed. Me? I like it. It means this world isn't as completely fucked as it could be - and there's places that aren't perfect. I dunno. Makes me feel better."

    You nodded.

    "So..." she said, slowly, her hand rubbing along Gitta's neck, marveling on the touch. Gitta, for her case, took the petting as stolidly as she took many things - even if you felt her non-extant tail wanting to twitch and twhitch eagerly. "Do you want to know the shortcut?"
    ***
    ​
    The creaky old man who was introduced as Minister of Clericology pointed down the narrow tube that ran away from the small tunnel city that Skavik protected. The city was...very different from the metropoli and patropoli of the Octet - something that Crys was clearly trying to not mention every few seconds. There were many people who simply did not seem to have a job to do - instead they worked on art, they conversed with friends, they sang songs together. The jobs that were done were all the same kind of industrial labors and gathering efforts as in the Octet, as far as you could see...but there was a layer of crudity and directness that the Patropoli you had walked through simply lacked. There, elegant charm-structures made of magical materials smoothly blended into the rough metal and exposed wire of the Great Maker.

    Here, the village sat on the intersection of two narrow corridors, in a rectangular chamber about three kilometers wide, with the walls opened up by hand tools, revealing cables, wires, tubes, all of which had been attached to jerry rigged devices that both release food and allowed the tunnel people to perform other arcane, vital tasks - similar to lower deck crew on a voidship. You admitted...seeing how slapdash and half-managed it was made the back of your neck prickle.

    The tube, though, was what you were trying to focus on. It was a circular opening that the townies had revealed with their digging and burrowing, and as you looked down it, it appeared to be a slanted slide that went down and down and down - the curve of it bringing the far end out of sight.

    "That's the shortcut," the minister said, his voice a soft wheeze. "It's a straight shot unused steam pipe that runs the length of the body to the engine. To come back, our explorers simply get into a capsule we have built on the far end and send back when the pressure switch happens. You then wait, with the capsule loaded, and once the steam pressure builds up..." He pointed to the far end of the chamber, where what appeared to be large net was strung.

    You pointed at several huge dents above the net.

    "What are those?" you asked.

    "Sometimes, the steam pressure is higher than we expect, and the capsule emerges going...ahem...faster..." the minister said, softly. "The honored dead are buried as best as they can, considering...ah...oh it is a dreadful mess."

    "Fun," Kit said.

    "No it's not!" Amberly exclaimed.

    "Tunnel people," Crys muttered.
