Special:
"Wu Ti'an Primer - send to Altair".PDF of 1300 pages of fine print with occasional pictures about the Wu Ti'an basics. This counts as a Virtual point in Lore:Wu Ti'an. Altair automatically scores 1 success, and 1 success only, in Intelligence+Lore:Wu Ti'an. He can gleam whatever information a chaarcter with 1 dot in it would with rolling 1 success. This also justifies purchasing an actual dot of Lore: Wu Ti'an using XP, which will then render this useless.

Enchantment(3)

  • (1)Minor items that have a very limited utility and very limited effects that will never be seen as magical by any who don't know what to look for. They might add one (or, less frequently, two) dots to an Attribute or Ability, grant a bonus to an attack or skill (never more than a + 1) or some other boon.

Shadows(3)

  • (1)By shifting sounds or shadows nearby, you can distract another person. She sees things 'out of the corner of her eye' and hears 'faint murmurings in the distance'. By casting the spell on yourself, you may 'blur your edges', making it harder to recognize you for who you are (Add one die to Arcane, Disguise, Intimidation, or Stealth Dice Pools). This level affects one person or human sized object.

HISTORY:

THE FIRST LIFE:

Ashakbaken was a warrior, brave, fierce, and aggressive. He was exactly what his commanding officers wanted. A man who would charge into danger and slay those that stood in the way of victory. He thought of little else save battle, and of the protection of the high priests of osiris and the gods. He died violently, in agony, after being betrayed by his commanders. They sent him and his men into a no win situation to buy them time to escape from a poorly matched battle...

THE SECOND LIFE:

Altair Ogram was a timid child, and a bit of a nerd. He was constantly getting abused in school, which did nothing to protect him from the depredations of the other children. His father enrolled him in a karate class but Altair didn't seem interested. The teacher though, saw something in him. He told the father to take the boy to one of his masters, and from the old man he learned Tai Chi, and the gift of focus. Altair no longer fought back against the bullies, but stoically took their beatings. Even though he knew how to defend himself he did not have the heart to fight. But a fire had been lit in him. He learned multiple martial arts, even though he had not the will to use them in anger. He went to college and majored in history, becoming a lesser known historian of weapons, tactics, and martial arts with a focus on Hema, or Historical European Martial Arts.

One night, while working at the museum that had hired him, a group of burglars broke in, and even though he had the weapons to fight them off, and the skill to experience to kill them, Altair could not act. He had not the heart.

THE THIRD LIFE:

The melding of Ashakbaken and Altair has created a man driven by purpose, but with a keen mind and a uniquely predatory slant. He is like an old wolf. Aggressive, cunning, and experienced all while being coldly patient and implacable. A shadow that hunts other shadows. A monster that hunts other monsters. Even other Amenti are terrified of the man's burning gaze and utterly implacable nature.

Altair, the Twice Reborn

Altair's soul is compound like all Amenti, but he underwent a unique ritual that bound an additional entity to him, that of a Yang Spirit known as Yen Lo Wong. The combination of their three essences makes him unique among the Amenti, and singularly powerful.

Altair Ogram

Altair Ogram Ashkabaken

The mortal Altair was timid, but brilliant and cunning. A creative individual able to think himself out of just about any situation. Despite his timid nature he was a willful individual and mentally tough. The product of years of abuse by his peers. He honed his body into a living weapon, a weapon he was unwilling to truly use. His lack of conviction lead to his death, when he was shot in the chest twice during a robbery at the museum he worked at.

Ashkabaken, the Lion of the Sands, the Butcher of Babylon

Ashkabaken, Altair's Tem'ahk, was a warrior. Brutal, cunning, merciless and vicious. He earned the title of Lion of the Sands after storming an enemy strong point during a sandstorm. Leaping atop his enemies from their fortifications, using the sandstorm to hide his movements and kill the majority of the defenders before they knew what was happening. Later on in his life his sanity began to erode due to his powerful Khaibit, and he became a serial killer, preying upon men in positions of power, believing them unworthy. Eventually his murders came back to him as his commander discovered that he was the one slaying fellow soldiers and enemies alike, and sent him on a suicide mission. He died covered in burning pitch assaulting a fortification outside of Babylon.

Yen Lo Wong, the flame of retribution

Yen Lo Wong was born for a singular purpose. To be bound to an outsider. Many other Yang Spirits would look down upon him for this. They are fools for not respecting the power he was given. He is not the weakest of their kind, but the strongest, chosen to be bound to a powerful compound soul that would give him the capacity to be more than any of them ever could be. He was tasked with harnessing the darkness within Altair, a searing flame to forge that darkness into a weapon to use against darkness itself. A task he was uniquely qualified for.

Altair Ogram Em Ashkabaken, The Phoenix Shadow.

The combination of three souls has created something greater than the sum of it's parts. Altair is a powerhouse. With a wide skillset and incredible durability, physical, mental, and spiritual. His triple compound soul gives him a vast array of abilities and powers. Even if there are three voices in his head telling him what to do...
