Lives nearby in Pamplona. Comes from a traditional Spanish farming family, mainly growing asparagus. They've always been dissappointed that he never married or had children, though to his mind his brothers and sisters have more than made up for the lack over the years. He visits when he can, but he finds the family rather overwhelming after a few days. Has a favourite niece; he thinks she might be the first one to follow in his footsteps and go to University.
Born in 1971, he was too young for the aftermath of Franco to mean much to him, and none of his family had been affected directly.
Once the immediate crises were under control, I would have begun to slowly and methodically explore the nearby worlds, or perhaps more accurately, explore the paths to them.
Psyche:20 Endurance:5 Strength:-25 Warfare:-4
With a strong enough Psyche, you can now 'see' the paths between the infinite mesh of nodes. Actually there is no visual component, but the feel of the paths are overlayed on your vision. They extend beyond your vision depending on Psyche, but that is difficult to interpret without the visual component.
Some paths do lead off-shadow, and there is enough of a hint of their direction that even low psyches can use them for travelling shadow.
You have an attachment to the Earth. The Earth talks to you and tells you things, helps you out. Not as words, but deep into your mind. If you need a hiding place you just know that there is a hidden cave a short distance that way. You are thirsty, a spring bubbles forth beyond the ridge....
And the sword... anyone wounded by the sword dies if it is wielded in battle.
Drinking from the grail gives further but temporary effects: You can talk back to the earth and it will respond. Plants will ensnare soldiers, the dragons will arise, crevasses will open under soldier's feet etc.
-10 points (90 points starting from Human -25 points) to spend Sorcery and Power Words can be introduced with a suitable background (and at standard cost)! Enthroned characters get the Earth Power (no one has named it yet) free. Contributions: +1 point per 100 words of Background (Max 20) (Most of you already have this - feel free to update and expand on it!), +1 point per 100 words of Diary (Max 10) detailing what you did over the last year, and +5 points for a suitably 'created' trump provided before the con so I can print it out. Additional contributions may be considered as replacements though 25 points remains the maximum for balance purposes.
