Other Traits

Equipment: • Library Card: Mystic communication with library • Magic Lens: Ranged Detect Magic (Acute, Analytical; Concentration, Distracting)

Complications: • Daughter of Hades: Asphodel is the daughter of Hades, meaning that she registers a such to magical inquiry into her nature. The enemies of Hades are also prone to coming after her, thinking she is connected to him in some way. She may also occasionally encounter supernatural effects that work against the dead, such as wards, that affect her as well. • Flashbacks: When Asphodel is near someone who is dying, she often experiences the flashbacks of their lives lived alongside them, causing her to lose her action. This may also affect anyone she has used her Death Touch on.

Powers

All of Asphodel's powers derive from her semidivine nature.

Medium

Comprehend 2 (Spirits) 2PP • Death • Permanent • Self Asphodel is capable of seeing and communicating with ghosts and other incorporeal spiritual entities. This isn't something that she activates, but is a natural part of her abilities.

Stygian Physiology

Immunity 6 6PP • Death • Permanent • Self

• Immunity to aging, disease, poison, starvation, thirst, and all suffocation

Asphodel's natural physiology does not rely on the normal processes of life. Of all normal human limitations, about the only one that remains to her is the need for sleep. She doesn't need to breathe (save to speak), and she has not aged a day since achieving her sixteenth birthday. She doesn't need to eat or drink, and she has yet to encounter the poison or disease that can even touch her.

Unbinding Grave

Immortality 1 • 2PP • Death • Permanent • Self

• Return to life after 2 weeks
• Burial in a field of asphodel flowers prevents return to life

Though when she dies her soul journeys into the Underworld, she does not pass the River Styx. Upon reaching its shores, Charon turns her back around toward the lands of the living, due to the standing orders he has from Hades himself. Asphodel has died a few times, and has taken to pausing to carry on a conversation with the ferryman before setting back. Upon her revival, her soul reanimates her body, rebuilding it from minute materials in the environment directly around where she died if necessary. Failing it, it finds some piece of her left in the world, even a simple lock of hair, and reconstitutes her body thereby. Asphodel has hidden locks of her hair around the West Coast to permit exactly that to happen.
