Powers:
Re-Animated Dead:
Unlike John Clare or other of Victor Frankenstein’s monsters, Lily seems to be more re-animated than a surgical composite. As such, Lily possesses the following attributes similar to John Clare/The Monster:

• Increased FASERIP: Lily’s resurrection has granted her greater FASERIP scores to where they are currently listed. Lily’s Strength is at least on par with the first creature, and has shown inhuman ability to both resist and recover from damage. Lily’s intellect and awareness are equally increased due to the process of reanimation – although one could argue the increase was more due to Lily no longer suffering from tuberculosis
• Invulnerability: Like John Clare, Lily is considered immune to the following effects: Aging, toxins, disease, and a majority of the results that require an Endurance FEAT. Lily can be treated depending on the Judge to possess ‘Immortality’.
• Endless Reserves: Like John Clare, Lily can resist most stunning attacks with a simple Green Endurance FEAT. Lily can still be slammed as normal and can be knocked unconscious usually through methods that her creator, Victor Frankenstein, can provide.
• Limited Body Armor: Much like John Clare Lily has a higher degree of resistance, ignoring any attack under Typ (06) intensity and not even reacting to attacks under Rm (30) damage (Although Lily still takes damage – she simply ignores them).
• Regeneration and Recovery*: Lily can regenerate and recover from injury with Rm (30) ability, including recovering lost Endurance ranks. Lily’s body seems to recover even from lethal injuries in relatively short times.

Contacts:
Prior to her rebirth, Lily could call on Ethan Chandler without hesitation and had additional contacts throughout the London streets and slums. Lily’s contacts are strange as she gains and loses them at different points:

• Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Lily’s ‘creator’ could be considered a contact early on, and would stop at nothing both to help her and later stop her. At the end of the series it is doubtful that Frankenstein is a contact Lily would remain friendly with.
• Dorian Gray: Fellow immortal and former lover, Lily could call on Gray at different points but when Gray was finished with her, he cast her out of his home and murdered a number of her followers. It is doubtful that Gray would remain a contact.
• Justine and the Women’s Movement: Lily created a more violent women’s movement and was set to use it to gain revenge on men and society. Specifically, Lily’s main contact with a young woman she rescued named Justine. The movement was destroyed for the most part by Dorian Gray when he betrayed Lily and Justine was murdered by Gray himself. If members are still alive, it is possible they would be willing to help Lily.

Limitations:
Lily’s reanimated condition has given her many abilities but has also led to many drawbacks.

• Unnatural Presence: Although not as severe as John Clare, Lily is…off…and while very beautiful and capable, there is something that has been remarked on by all who encounter her as being something unnatural. People who knew Lily as Brona do not immediately recognize her. As with Clare those who see Lily and are of the Demimonde will know that Lily is unnatural.
• Rage: Lily is filled with rage, both due to her tragic end as Brona but also through her rebirth and the conditions of her initial days. Lily’s rage is significant and usually dedicated towards men whom she sees as users and despoilers.
• Deceptive: Lily is more capable at deception since her rebirth, fooling Victor Frankenstein into believing that she had no memory of her previous life or manipulating situation to her own end. Lily can be difficult to discern her true intentions which works equally against her as it does for her.
• Enemies: At different points, Lily has made enemies of former allies, specifically Victor Frankenstein and later through Dorian Gray’s betrayal of her.
• Loyalty*: Lily does have loyalty and is considered to possess something of true loyalty for two people during Penny Dreadful: Ethan Chandler and Justine. Lily considers Ethan to be the only decent man she ever met and was protective of Justine as Lily saw herself in the young woman.

Health: 140/150
Karma: 60

Popularity: 0/5/-5 (Generally/In occult circles)

Talents:
Licorice has the following talents:
Mystic Origin*: Vampire
Computers
Brawling
Aerial Combat
Knowledge: Area
Knowledge: Occult sites
Knowledge: Vampires

Powers:
Vampire: Licorice is a vampire, possessing all of the traditional powers as one of the undead and the specific physical changes accordingly. Licorice’s powers include:

• Bio-Vampirism*: Vampires within Tarot’s world are not necessarily bound by the same traditional powers and limitations of a regular vampire. Licorice’s thirst is never beyond her control, although there are times it has come closer. Licorice could infect someone with vampirism, turning them in 1 – 3 days after infecting them, but rarely contemplates this unless truly angry or engaged. Licorice regains health after feeding, and shortly after feeding Licorice’s strength is increased to Incredible with an increase of health total by ten.
• Hypnotic Control: Licorice has mastered the ability to use her hypnotic control, capable of swaying other supernatural creatures with ease and is considered to have In (40) ability, but has shown only to be able to affect one person at a time, and only through direct eye contact. Licorice will spend karma to succeed in controlling someone, and the victim is fully aware of what is happening while Licorice has control over them.
• Shape-Shifting: Licorice can alter her shape to some degree, giving her natural weaponry in the form of claws or allowing her to have bat-like wings. Licorice can alter her shape at will within those parameters with Rm (30) ability, granting her Rm (30) flight, Rm (30) natural weaponry: Claws which halve effective body armor, and increase her natural bite attack to Rm (30).
• Adjusted FASERIP: Licorice’s attributes were changed when she became a vampire, hence the enhanced abilities and higher than normal strength/agility.
• Immunity: Licorice is considered ‘Immune’ to the following: Poisons, Aging, Toxins, and gas effects. In addition, Licorice seems unbothered by temperature extremes or other environmental effects (except sunlight).
• Animal Control: Licorice has the ability to control vermin, bats, wolves, spiders, and other similar creatures with Rm (30) ability. Licorice can summon such swarms within one round and can command them while acting either through premediated actions or verbal commands.
• Hyper Speed: Licorice is inhumanly fast, possessing Rm (30) hyper speed and uses her speed to both boost her initiative and gain a second action.
• Inhuman senses: Licorice has inhuman senses, can see in complete darkness and perceive auras, hear heartbeats and discern them up to three areas away, see the blood flow through an individual, discern poisons and scents, and other associate sensory processing with Rm (30) ability.
• Undetectable: Licorice cannot be seen with electronic devices and does not show up in photographs or similar devices. Licorice can be picked up with special equipment which can see auras as a ‘negative’ being. Similarly, Licorice can be detected through means used to spot the undead. Licorice can track with Rm (30) ability.
• Stealth: Licorice is incredibly stealthy, possessing Ex (20) stealth to avoid detection.

Contacts:
Licorice Dust has connections in the occult world, specifically through her girlfriend Boo-Cat, as well as her original vampire ‘sisters’ who were converted at the same time. Licorice has tentative contacts with the Skeleton Man, and has a terse relationship with Tarot and the witches of the Black rose.

Limitations:
Licorice has several key limitations:

• Unusual Looks: Licorice has pale alabaster skin, pointed ears, and fangs at all times. Licorice is clearly a vampire and suffers a -2cs to social FEATS anyone who recognizes the signs.
• Fatal Vulnerability: Licorice has a fatal vulnerability to sunlight, and takes +2cs damage each round exposed, suffering a -1 to Endurance ranks each round exposed. Licorice will regain her Endurance ranks as soon as she escapes sunlight, and regenerate damage per her Endurance score each round, but such burns leave her skin marked for at least a day. The slightest beam can affect Licorice and begin the damage/dying process.
• Fatal Vulnerability: wooden stakes: Licorice suffers the traditional Hollywood vulnerability of destruction via wooden stake through the heart. If the stake penetrates Licorice’s heart, she will immediately begin the dying process with three to four rounds before she is considered ‘permanently dead’. If the stake is removed prior to permanent death, Licorice will regenerate damage accordingly and will return in 1-3 rounds. During the dying process, Licorice’s body collapses into a skeleton, decaying instantly until/if the stake is removed.
• Jealous: Licorice is quietly very jealous of her girlfriend’s other relationships, and will allow her temper and emotions to get the better of her, often acting or overreacting to situations. Licorice will assume the worst in any situation concerning Boo Cat, and must make a Psyche FEAT at -1cs to regain control of herself.
• Prey Dedication: Licorice hates those who prey on children, specifically child predators and abusers, once spending a full year hunting them with merciless precision. Licorice will dedicate herself to any length of time to bring those beings to bloody justice, specifically at her own hands.
• Reputation: Licorice Dust has a reputation within the greater Salem community as a temperamental and violent figure at times, as well as someone who can be mercurial in her dealings.

Powers:

Empowered Mummy:

Ahmanet has been blessed by the Egyptian god Set with abilities and powers beyond life and death. Ahmanet is technically a mummy, but also possesses vast mystical knowledge and sorcery which makes her incredibly formidable. Ahmanet’s physical abilities and attributes shift as she regenerates, with her powers and abilities listed by stages as listed below:

• Stage 1: Pr FASE, Invulnerability still in place, Gd (10) True Invulnerability. No ability to move inhumanly quick.
• Stage 2: Gd FASE, Invulnerability, Ex (20) True Invulnerability, Inhuman Speed at Gd (10)
• Stage 3: RM FASE, Invulnerability, Rm (30) True Invulnerability, Inhuman Speed at Rm (30), Ex Regeneration*/Recovery*
• Stage 4: Fully Regenerated: All Attributes as listed, full powers and abilities and full ranks.

Mummy Abilities:

As a mummy, Ahmanet has the following abilities

• Superhuman Durability and Invulnerability: Ahmanet is immune to several things due to her unique position. Ahmanet is completely invulnerable to diseases, toxins, aging, and radiation. Ahmanet’s durability is based on how much she regenerates her form, when she is at her ‘weakest’ and mostly a wizened corpse, her invulnerability is far lessened. As Ahmanet regenerates, she gains levels of True Invulnerability, up to a maximum of Am (50). At her most regenerated, Ahmanet can shrug off most physical damage of Am (50) or less, and can ignore equal levels of stun due to her unliving nature.
• Superhuman Attributes: After her death and rebirth, Ahmanet’s FASERIP changed to reflect her new powers. As such, Ahmanet’s natural attributes are increased when she is regenerating/
• Immortality*: Ahmanet is considered a ‘true’ immortal, in so far that her spirit and body cannot be easily destroyed and as long as her body exists, she can return to claim it and rejuvenate it. When reduced to 0 health/0 endurance, Ahmanet ceases activity and returns to a death-like wizened state. Ahmanet still possesses awareness and is able to act after a number of rounds if no one binds her and/or submerges her in liquid mercury. Ahmanet can act even when subdued if she is not kept constantly at sub-freezing conditions in liquid mercury.
• Life-force Transfer/Soul Absorption: Ahmanet can drain the life-force of any creature through ‘sucking’ the life-force out of a living creature, adding its health total to her own or regenerating herself to full restoration from a mummified body. Ahmanet can completely devour a being in under two rounds, rendering them ‘used up’ and in a mummified state. The victim must make a Psyche FEAT to break contact, and if they fail when they are drained completely of their life-force, they become undead thralls under Ahmanet’s command.
• Inhuman Speed: Ahmanet has the ability to move with inhuman speed, moving at Ex (20) Hyper Running. In addition, Ahmanet can perform dodges and Evasions at an adjust rank, Am (50) due to her already formidable agility combined with his her speed.
• Regeneration*: Ahmanet also regenerates her Endurance Ranks and can re-attach or ‘pull back together’ her body parts if they become separated. While Ahmanet needs life-forces to fully recover, after Stage 3 she can to regenerate her form and health without the immediate need of life-force. 

Necromancer and Priestess:  Ahmanet was considerably gifted in life as a priestess of older powers, with those powers growing exponentially after her deal with Set and her return as a mummy. Ahmanet’s abilities include:

• Weather Control: Mn (75) level to control the environment, especially creating wind/sandstorms which could destroy cities (and nearly did). Ahmanet could alter weather patterns creating dense fog, electrical effects, or create unusual patterns with little concentration.
• Animal Control: Ahmanet could control swarms of rats, bird, insects, and other lower forms with Mn (75) ability, having greater control to have such creatures willing die or move into hazardous positions without any thought. Ahmanet could even have swarms of rats surround someone without biting or harming them in seconds.
• Necromancy: Ahmanet could raise and control the dead, as she did when she raised the dead crusaders in the 2017 film with Am (50) ability. Ahmanet could control any whom she killed personally, including those who were not ‘fed’ upon. Ahmanet could also restore true life to the dead, but it is uncertain if this was a power she possessed as a mummy or as a sorceress.
• Curse*: Ahmanet could curse an individual which was usually conveyed through the bite of an insect or spider. Once Cursed, the individual would slowly find themselves becoming a thrall of Ahmanet, until ultimately, they were the puppet of Ahmanet and would do their bidding. Once cursed the victim must make a Yellow Psyche FEAT against Rm (30). If the curse fails to take, they will complain about said insect bite, but if it does take, the victim immediately loses -1cs to their Psyche and must make another Yellow Psyche FEAT every hour. Once the victim’s Psyche reaches Pr (04), they are considered under the sway of Ahmanet, and will do her bidding unquestioningly. It is unknown if the curse remains after the tasks and commands have been performed, as the individuals usually die afterwards.
• Telekinesis: Ahmanet can manipulate objects and even levitate herself with Am (50) ability, rending metallic structures and bending steel with but an action.
• Connection: Once the chosen sacrifice has been selected, Ahmanet has an Am (50) level connection to that individual. The chosen will feel this connection strongly and will begin to hallucinate and see images of Ahmanet as she was, and will unconsciously work to try to reach Ahmanet. Ahmanet will know where her chosen is, and will work to try to find them, zeroing in on their location. This bond is very strong, and can be used in some cases to ‘bait’ Ahmanet out.

Contacts:

Ahmanet has no real contacts outside of the Dark God Set and her chosen sacrifice, Nick Morton

Limitations:

Ahmanet is incredibly powerful, but she has several limitations which contain her power. These limitations include:

• Servant of a God: Ahmanet is the servant of the god Set, and as such Set’s bidding is what must be done above any other desires Ahmanet has. Ahmanet’s central goal is to do Set’s bidding – to bring Set back into the world of man, to serve in any action her dark master wants, and to ensure that nothing disrupts those plans. Ahmanet will never resist Set’s commands – in fact, there is never been a moment that she has hesitated – including killing her father, stepmother, and baby stepbrother.  
• Liquid Mercury: Ahmanet is vulnerable to Liquid Mercury, and if submerged into Liquid Mercury, her powers lessen and she becomes an ordinary mummy. Submersion in Liquid Mercury reduces Ahmanet’s abilities to stage 1 levels and renders her immobile and mostly unable to act or perceive the world around her. Ahmanet was imprisoned for over 5000 years in liquid mercury and had some awareness but was unable to act fully.
• Ambitious: Ahmanet is incredibly ambitious, and is known that her ambition led her to the service of Set. Ahmanet will use any opportunity to advance her goals and position. As such, Ahmanet will suffer a -1cs to Reason FEATS if opportunities present themselves to advance a goal (and not see possible traps).
• Vengeful: More than Ambitious, Ahmanet is vengeful. Ahmanet is so vengeful that she will perform dark rituals and offer her soul in service to Set to revenge herself against those who wronged her, as an example. Ahmanet will remember when she is wrong and will go out of her way to ensure that vengeance is had.
• Obsessed/Protective: Ahmanet is protective of her chosen, and will go to incredible lengths to ensure that the chosen makes their appointed time (in which Ahmanet sacrifices them willingly to Set). Ahmanet will spend her karma to protect her chosen, and even raise them from the dead (fully) when necessary.

• Natural Weaponry: Quills: Shuna is covered head to toe in barbed quills, which she can 'throw' up to 1 area away. By using her dancing ability and agility, Shuna can actually perform an area attack with her quills, which do ex (20) sharp damage, halving effective body armor.
• Poison: Shuna's quills are coated in a natural poison, which does Rm (30) damage and forces those who Shuna makes a successful hit on to make an End FEAT or be poisoned. If Shuna makes a '00' roll, the individual must make an End FEAT or begin the dying process immediately.
• Empathy: Shuna is a low-level empath, capable of reading humans as well as Midian citizens with Gd (10) ability
• Pheromones: Shuna emits pheromones at Rm (30) level, and when used in combination with her empathy and talents makes her very desirable.
