Vesper's Necromantic Body


Coil Seven Necrotech
A body of exquisite beauty and perfection.

This is a ruler's body, made for Vesper under the tutelage of the Black Psychopomp. His reasons for teaching Song and giving aid such as he has are inscrutable. The body has hair that fountains from her head like falls of crashing blood mixed with snow (red with shocks of pure clean white hair). The skin is that of cream, and just as soft and liquid in its motions. But let not this beauty disguise its durable nature, with bones subtly reinforced with necrotic energies and soulsteel, which has also invaded the athletic muscle structure in tubes along which the Necromantites travel, softly pulsing them on occasion. Her eyes are most unnatural, appearing to be a reddish-pink in the top, with a violet-black in the bottom. The body is lithe but stands at an amazing 6 foot 4 inches.

Bleak Imitation of Normalcy for 4, Transcendent Revenant Vessel x 5 for 5 points, Only Mildly Unpleasant: 0 pts, Sanitized: 0 pts, Keen Senses Sight and Hearing/Touch, Delicate Mumification x 4, and a custom upgrade of Bleak Imitation Normalcy and Only Mildly Unpleasant called Winter's Morbid Beauty for 4, which gives a -2 external penalty to smell death on the body (and then only funerary spices on a success) makes the body seem at worst that of a shadowlands inhabitant, and gives the body an Appearance of 2 (which can be raised by 1 for 2 more points and has been to 4 total), and Funereal Armor for 1 point giving another +2B/+1L soak.

Due to masterful planning and use of some special Exotic components, the body is actually Appearance 6, requires almost no maintenance, other than easily stored weekly alchemical slurry pills taken with water or wine, which slowly transmute food into a form which can be utilized by the Transmutative Restoration Necromantites. These wondrous devices can keep this body in working order indefinitely, even constructing replacement parts, and seamlessly integrating them back in without worry. With the reflexive expenditure of 4 motes, a lethal can be converted to a bashing, and with another 2 motes, bashing can be healed.

The Arcanoi supported by Transcendent Revenant Vessel are Undertaker's New Clothes, Clay-Corpus Sculpting, Morbid Monster Workings, Ghost-Devil Shape, Fade-From-Sight Prana.
