Overview
Kryptman comes from a prestigious lineage. While much more was expected of her, she still performed above expectations in her previous position. That didn't seem to be enough for her parents, which demanded that she exceed her limits and become a corporate figurehead in Aztechnology hierarchy. Woedica carried a heavy burden of family expectations and learned to internalize them as her own desires. Grown infatuated with the liberty of spirit affairs, she specialized in most things astral, finding mortals far more dull.
During the events of Reject Enlightenment Woedica volunteered to help the runner team as long as it kept her far away from Draco Foundation's interrogators and prodding researchers. This help came in the form of joining the Wild Hunt as a fresh recruit. Nowadays contacting Woedica is exceedingly difficult and more often than not results in failure, but the stories she can tell grow each and every time someone manages to summon her. Most often found near Yellowstone due to the park's permanent portal to the Seelie Court, Woedica's surrounded on all sides by fae politics and the only bulwark against the backstabbing intrigue that fae find so enthralling is Chalcis, the leader of the Hunt whom often cuts through the talk and gives the Hunt a clear target to ride after.
Notes For A GM
- Anything Woedica hears from runners might end up getting used in Seelie fae politics. This isn't her willingly giving up secrets, but her position as a Rider of the Hunt leaves her limited freedoms.
- Behaves defensive on behalf of spirits of most types and will view hermetics, elementalists and poorly-behaving spectral wardens dimly.
- Can not and will not betray the Wild Hunt. It's a geas that she is unable to shatter.
- Having her on your list of contacts doesn't make the Wild Hunt summonable. Forget it, she's small time by comparison to Calchis.
Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Rider of the Hunt | Getting a hold of Woedica is extremely difficult due to her endless conquests as the Hunt's rider. Treat her Connection rating as 7 higher when making an Availability check. |
| Magical Inventory | When it comes to foci, Hands of Glory or reagents, Woedica can acquire many things. |
| Astral Expertise | Spirits? Metaplanes? Arcane tomes about spirit formulas? You name it, she knows at least something. |
| Spellslinger Sensei | Woedica can teach you how to cast spells properly and with true fury. Works for both normal and ritual spellcasting skills. Also helps in acquiring formulae for spells! |
| Psychometrist | Woedica can show up once in a while to do a cursory psychometry investigation on a scene, but expect it to cost you. +2 on such a check, but it's a Rating 3 Service and costs Karma! Round down for decimals, minimum 1. |
| Astral Rider | +2 on all checks related to the metaplanes. |
| Seelie Savvy | +2 on Knowledge and Networking checks with the Seelie Fae. She's not the most respected individual, but at least she knows names and factions to get you started! |
| Blood Magic | Woedica no longer uses sacrificial arts actively, but possesses an Athame. If requested, she can use blood magic to achieve unconventional results even if she's afraid of relapsing. |
