Overview

Enigma is frustrating. It speaks in complete gibberish that almost nobody understands, meaningless riddles to those that understand its words, often misguided in the meanings of those riddles that solve them and enjoys puzzling people that talk to it since it brings it immense glee. Despite this, it appears to enjoy company and likes talking to others, even if its favorite pastime is stumping mortals with complicated riddles, often stemming from ancient folklore and nursery rhymes. With access to Matrix, however, it's very possible to cheat in such a game so long as the mortal has the composure to not show their fraud. If appeased by playing its game, it can provide useful services: one riddle solved, one service or answer provided. Note that this spirit almost always speaks in riddles, even its answers are riddles written on the spot. Sorry to the GMs that have to think of riddles on the spot; in a pinch if you're bad at wordplay just require a LOG+INT check to understand its riddles, threshold equal to the Favor rating requested.
