Merits

Professional Training ●●● Despite becoming a thing of horrible beauty, Zitə still manages to maintain some semblance of contacts among the mortal world, notably with Artists and other Outcasts. Additionally zer role as Duelist gives zer 9-Again on uses of Weaponry, Socialize, and Medicine.

Status (Invictus) ● Lucreziə, affectionately or derisively known as Zitə, has made quite a name for zemself as a master of the Courtesia fighting style. And for the condescending demeanor the duellante cultivate.

Striking Looks ●● Not striking like a model; striking like a viper. Zitə enjoys a +2 modifier on rolls where zer… unica looks come into play.

Ettiquette ●● As a duelist, one must be able to tear an opponent down before the duel even starts, or if it never does. While zer Beast demands propriety, there is nothing preventing a little derision or condescension. Lucrezié uses zer Socialize for Doors instead of Resolve or Composure, and any time ze dresses someone down, the roll gains 8-Again and +2, though afterwards reduce the target’s Impression by one.

Courtesia ●●● In zer short unlife, Zitə has taken to the Invictus’ fighting style like un papera to water. To initiate the formal duel, ze must insult the opponent, formally declaring the challenge. Should the pazzo engage, the match is set.

• Lucreziə benefits from zer Weaponry skill as Defense against any outside party.
• Insulting and belittling zer opponent replaces Strength with Presence and uses Socialize for Defense instead of Athletics
• Attempting to break the duel deals damage to the opponent equal to Zitə’s Socialize skill, and the impertinent pazzo is knocked to their ass.

Retribution ●●● Dueling is a matter of training and skill, but sometimes the blood, dead though it may be, boils hot. In such situations where impertinence demands satisfaction, Zitə may benefit from the following effects:

• Add +2 to zer rolls to track or pursue an opponent, as well as to zer speed.
• In going All Out, ze simply adds +1 to zer weapon’s damage for every +2 that would be added to the attack roll.
• Anger at whoever had the coglioni to give zer slight grants 2/0 armor.

Disciplines

Vicissitude ●●

Known to some of the riffraff as “Protean”, Zitə’s skill as an artist gives zer an expanded repertoire of abilities.

Unmarked Grave Lucreziə fades into the scenery, becoming immune to direct assault or even the Pain of Purity. This allows zer to sleep in peace.

Predatory Aspect A number of animalistic traits are granted. Due to the Bloodline Blessing, Zitə can hold four at a time, and should her Blood Potency rise, can keep a number of them permanent. These are her current favourites:

• Sucking Tendrils: Grasping suckers and little squirming limbs grant 8-Again on grapples, and allow for an additional choice of maneuver on a successful grapple.
• Mimic Skin: Taking on the flesh of an octopus, Zitə can change color and texture, allowing zer to hide better, or make quite an appearance. Rolls to spot zer when mostly naked and still are penalized by Protean.
