About

Name: Aven Cross
Age: 23
Race: Caucasian
Concept: Hunter

Bio: Aven cross is not a part of any organized party that fights back the darkness. In fact he is totally unaware that such things even exist. Hunting monsters and spirits has been a family trait for three generations before him.
You it is also a family trait to loose ones memory after a very traumatic event. As happened to his father when he was five years old. One day his father just never came home. With no mother to speak of he was taken as a ward of the state and raised in foster care. His father did finaly put the pieces together and find Aven at the age of sixteen living with a preacher and his lovely wife. It seemed Aven had a happy enough home and was a stable boy. It was a hard decision for his father but he did come back into Avens life.
After the reestablishment of the cross family Aven was trained in the ways of the family business. When he was twenty his father died. For the past three years he has been on his own doing the only thing he knows to do. Hunt the things that go bump in the night.

SPIRITUAL POWERS
Faith Healing
Cost: 5
Pre-Requisite: Pure of Heart Advantage
Use: Varies
Target: Other
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent (or at least until target is injured again)

Effect: A Power Arcane roll is required to use this power. There are several effects to choose from when using this power on a target:
• Target recovers Power x 1d4 points of lost Life. (Use: At-Will)
• Reduce the level of a Poison by an amount equal to the character's Power score (Use: Periodically (twice every hour) )
• Cure common (power=1), uncommon (power=2), deadly (power=3), rare (power=4), or exotic (power=5) diseases completely (Use: Daily)

Ritual - Warding
Cost: 2
Pre-Requisite: Arcane Skill > 1
Use: Daily
Target: Object
Range: Touch
Duration: Until Ward is destroyed
Description: Wards are material constructs such as a line of salt or the sign of a crucifix which repel certain supernatural creatures. There are literally hundreds of wards, each with varying degrees of effectiveness against different types of supernatural beings. This ritual allows the character to construct such a ward in order to keep unwanted supernaturals from entering a location or passing a certain line.
Effect: The character decides what level of Ward he would like to construct - from level 1 to 10 (the level of the ward may not exceed his Arcane skill rank). Roughly 10 minutes of preparation per Ward level and an Intellect Craft feat with a Difficulty equal to the Ward's level are required to successfully create a ward. Failure reduces the Ward's intended level by 1 and the character rolls again until the ward is successsfully constructed or reaches a level of 0.
A ward is always built with a specific type of supernatural creature in mind and as such, is useful only against that type of entity. Other supernaturals will be unaffected by the ward unless one is layed down specifically for them. For example, a line of salt might stop a ghost from crossing, but would have no effect against a Vampire. Wolfsbane might keep a Were at bay, but a Fairy would have no problem approaching.
But no Ward is 100% effective all the time...any creature can ignore a Ward if its level is less than their Will stat. Particularly powerful entities can even reduce the level of a Ward by an amount equal to their Will by spending their Last Resort.
The level of a ward automatically increases if:
• The Ward is built with a specific supernatural creature in mind (level 2 against specific creature)
• The Ward's creator has the Pure of Heart Advantage (level 1)
• The Ward is constructed on holy ground (a church, cemetary, temple, or other religious site) (level 1)
• The Ward is constructed on or near a major Ley Line (level 2)
• The Supernatural encounters the ward during the day (level 1)

Faults:
Addiction
Bonus: 200
Level: Yes; max 3
Description: There is some detrimental substance or experience that the character continually craves. It can be as harmless as a cup of coffee each morning, but the character physically needs this substance regularly in order to maintain a normal mental state.
Effect: Every hour the character goes without feeding his addiction in some way, his Threshold drops by 1. Points lost in this manner will be restored once the character fully indulges his addiction. The seriousness of an addiction varies by rank: CANDY

Amnesiac
Bonus: 300
Level: No
Description: A large portion of the character's memory is missing. Exactly what happened during the expanse of time is a mystery, though fragments of lost memories appear from time to time when sufficiently provoked by something familiar to them.
Effect: The Judge is allowed to fill in a large part of a character's missing backstory, using this blank canvas for his own ends. The character's player cannot protest anything placed in this missing space...this is a Fault after all.

Bad End
Bonus: 500
Level: No
Description: Things are going to end badly for the character. He is going to die a lonely, painful death full of mental anguish...wasting away at the bottom of a well...tortured, flayed, and eaten by a coven of demonic cultists...things are going to end very badly for the character, and knowing this can put him in a very bad mood.
Effect: The character is going to die. Not only that, but it's going to be an awful way to go. Though none but the fates (aka the Judge) knows the exact circumstances, the character has a sense of impending dread...a sort of foreknowledge as to his appointed fate.

Haunted Past
Bonus: 200
Level: No
Description: There are demons in the character's history, both metaphorical and literal. The deeds of the past influence the future and there are events that have yet to resolve themselves which will play a part in the days to come.
Effect: There are tragic and unresolved events in the character's backstory which the Judge may exploit for his current campaign - player and Judge should collaborate to work out the details of the character's history and what role they will play in the upcoming storyline.

Nemesis
Bonus: 300
Level: Yes; max 3 LV 2
Description: An old and recurring enemy comes in and out of the character's life, impeding his progress and acting as the antagonistic bane of his existence.
Effect: The Judge and player work together to create an enemy that is of equal or greater power and influence than the character.
Rank 1: 0 Experience to spend creating a villain

Spiritual Magnetism
Bonus: 100
Level: No
Description: Something is strange and alluring about the character's spiritual essence. It draws supernatural entities and circumstances to it like a magnet...which always results in strange, madcap scenarios which have come to define the character's rather unorthodox life.
Effect: All manner of supernatural beings are drawn to the character which, more often than not, constantly puts his life and sanity in danger.
