Fate Bestiary

About

Name: Charles Remmington

At an early age, Charles mysteriously lost his mother. Determined to find answers to his mother's disapearance, Charles searched for any clues to her whereabouts. He discovered a collection of infernal texts in a hidden compartment of his mother's study, which led him to spend his teenage years researching the Occult. In well over his head, he dug too deep, accidentally fusing a demon of destruction with his soul. At his worst moments, the demon takes control of him, temporarily transforming Charles into a rage-driven monster. Now he continues his pursuit of knowledge in hopes to uncover the mysteries of his childhood and find a way to remove his troublesome companion.

The Monster Within Whenever you use an invoke (including free invokes) on the aspect The monster within to act in a destructive, violent, or malicious way, you get a +3 instead of a +2.

Professor of the Occult. +2 to all Lore rolls when trying to recall information about the occult.

Monstrous Form. When the aspect Monstrous Form has been created on you (either by Provoking the demon, or something like a compel), you gain a +2 to physical attacks with Fight. Although, this is a golden opportunity for more compels.

Demon of Destruction. When you succeed with style on an attack with Fight, you can create the aspect On Fire with one free invoke instead of taking a boost.

Stunts

Animal Affinity. Because I’m such a great Pet Detective, I can pick a particular type of animal (cats, rodents, horses or the like). At the start of any scene, if that type of animal could reasonably appear in the location where the scene is set, I may make a check against a difficulty of Fair (+2). If I succeed, there is an animal of this type in the scene. (Adapted from Peter Blake Animal Affinity stunt)

Animal Friend. Because I’m the friend of all living creatures, I can pick a particular type of animal (cats, rodents, horses or the like). I can communicate with animals of this type using a combination of speech and gestures. This doesn’t connote a special level of intelligence on the part of the animals, so the communication may be relatively simple. I also gain +2 to my rolls when interacting socially with animals of this type. (Adapted from Spirit of the Century SRD, 6.28.1)
