Anchors -- Adam's Helpers, Tools and Servants

Nykaj, the Murderous Blade (linked to "the Murderous Blade, Nykaj, has chosen me as its wielder.")

Once, Adam believed that the Knife was given to him by his Lady, Larinien, but he has since learned that it was a trap set in his path by the Lexiarchos Caducine?. Yet, if it was a trap, it is one that he has claimed wholly as his own and thereby defanged the Excrucian who saught to bait him. He has learned much of its origins: it is a blade of Murder, Death, and Sacrifice. It chafes against his mastery even as it submits to him, and can only be trusted to a degree. It is a //miraculous Anchor//.

Adam's Prayer Cards (linked to 'I stand witness to the Sins of Man, and do not pass judgment.")

A number of Prayer Cards which Adam slowly accumulated, week by week, when he'd attend Sunday services. Always on the look out for especially inspirational cards that were in good condition, carefully storing them in his apartment, until after his Commencement when he discovered that they were a part of him and a tool of his Estate. Each Card bears a beautiful illustration on one side and a quote from the bible (or a common prayer) on the reverse, and is a //wondrous Anchor// with great powers to inspire and bring peace of mind.

Shooting Star Necklace (linked to 'I wear a shooting star on a chain around my neck.")

One of Adam's first actions as Nobilis was to pluck a plummeting Apocalyptic Meteor from the sky and wear it as a jewel around his neck. It serves him primarily as Chariot, allowing Adam to travel in style throughout the World, the only mark of his passing the passing of a shooting star for children to wish upon (and to give them, perhaps, some Faith in the marvel of Creation).

"Hello, I am ________." (linked to 'My Lady, Lariníen, has work for me to do.")

A small blank nametag, the words 'Nurse Lanny' only faintly legible and warm with a bit of leftover Imperial Power, which was given by Adam not long after his return from slaying the shard of Lexiarchos that pierced the Chancel and attempted to kill Jannie Archer. Writing a brief description on the tag, and adopting even the most cursory disguise, allows Adam to basically pass in any situation from pretending to be a Doctor at a Hospital by writing "Dr. Kadmon," to fitting into a Nuclear Family by writing, "Your Husband." The tag is always bare after Adam is done with it.

Rotating Sidekick (flows from 'People find me easy to trust.")

Everyone loves Adam, but some people just take it up a notch and actively lend a hand in whatever crazy situation he finds himself in. No matter the situation, Adam can almost always count on someone falling into his orbit and assisting him in overcoming the challenges that he faces. This //mundane Anchor// typically only stays around for a Session, or a Story at most, before returning to the trials and tribulations of their own life.

Adam's Small Harem (flows from 'My relationships never seem to work out.")

Though he could get away with it, Adam mostly behaves itself when it comes to the women that show interest -- only dating one woman at a time, usually remaining friends with his exes when the trials of dating a Dominus of Hell break-up the relationship and then inevitably falling into a relationship with another woman who was waiting in the wings for her chance. All three of these women tend to be active in Adam's life, serving as //mundane Anchors//, and they currently consist of: Yuki Aihara, Megan Miller, and (prospective GF here).
