A Cairn 2e Character

Bryn, Half Witch

Born of both the mortal world and the unseen, a crossing of veils that makes you an enigma to many.
You are both a conduit and a caution of what happens when two worlds collide.

What did you bring back from the unseelie court?
A Living Nightmare that dwells within you, but manifests whenever you are in danger. It has your same Attributes and HP, and attacks with claws (d8+d8). It disappears on Critical Damage (take 1d4 WIL damage), re- appearing again on the next full moon.

What concoction do you carry, and what rare ingredients did you gather to make it?
Glamour Feather Plume of a firebird. Can make any creature appear convincingly as someone (or something) else (1 use).

Bounds
A white crow appeared to you in a dream, holding a twig in its mouth. You awoke the next morning with The Twig (petty) in your hand. You believe it brings you luck. It smells faintly of sulfur.

Omen (if youngest character in party)
Swarms of insects are fleeing from The Woods in droves, destroying any wooden structures they come across. The sound of their wings hum a familiar tune as they pass overhead, like a forgotten nursery rhyme.
