Virtues and Flaws

  • Mercenary Captain (1) - She's presently taking inspiration from the tales of Fionn mac Cumhaill, and is leading her own little Fianna to seek glory and a reputation.
  • Giant Blood (3) - She's not sure where the Giant Blood came from. Might be that her mother has some Formori Blood... and it's anyone's guess with her father.
  • Great Strength (x2) (2) - She's certainly getting mileage out of her strange heritage.
  • Affinity with Great Weapons (1) - Her being a naturally skilled warrior is a big part of the character concept.
  • Puissant Great Weapons (1) - See the Above.
  • Improved Characteristics (1) - I didn't want to dump social skills entirely.
  • Reserves of Strength (1) - Also part of my "Surpressed Riastrad" concept. She can burst out even more strength. May whatever Gods you hold to help you if she breaks this out when delivering a blow.
  • Driven (-3) - Be recognized as a Knight, or with a similar honor acknowledging her competence and prowess, despite her sex. This is, to some degree, a matter of Ego for her. In greater part, it's her wanting the ability to say no to arranged marriages to people who want to rule her Father's lands in her stead.
  • Lycanthrope (-3) - I picture this as a manifestation of the Riastrad, but she refuses to give in to the battle fury. Much like a Knight's Son deprived weapons, the beast within slips out from time to time. It gives her a good reason to hang out with Hermetic Magi... because she's trying to figure out what is happening.
  • Gender Nonconforming (-1) - She's a warrior woman. The English look twice at that... but it doesn't cause problems since most people look at her and go "Yeah, the nearly eight foot tall mountain of muscle hauling a warhammer around is probably a sensible exception... and I'm not going to be the one to tell her otherwise."
  • Heir (-1) - Her Family are English come to bring order to Ireland and its Church, and she's the oldest daughter with no brothers. She presently dreads the day her father dies... because she feels she needs to win glory first. She fears an arranged marriage, designed to give some man her father's lands in all but name... and wants to be in a position to control that.
  • Uncontrollable Strength (-1) - There are definite disadvantages to being as mighty as she is... one of them is living in a world made from pottery.
  • Uncertain Faith (-1) - She was raised in the Church, but her life has left her full of doubt. Doctrine dictates that her sex demands she not be a warrior... and that the natural talent God gave her is to be used. That makes no sense to her... so she's drifting. This is partly here to help her be way more okay with Pagans than she probably should be.

(The Longbow is here because I don't think there's a shortbow in Mythic Europe she can actually use without breaking it.)
