Graveyard of Talents
Many possess a certain inclination toward one activity or another. However, to succeed in something, it is necessary not only to work long and hard, to have resources and the opportunity for education, but also to emerge victorious in competition with thousands of equally skilled artisans.
| Artist You are capable of painting beautiful pictures. But who needs them when there is nothing to eat, the well water has gone foul, and demons have stolen all the children? Besides, where will you get paints, brushes, and canvas? Then again, a stick and some dirt can almost always be found. Bonus: +1 Perception The character is able to draw pictures and portraits of NPCs based on descriptions from other NPCs Drop Chance: 5% | Musician You are capable of playing musical instruments beautifully. Unfortunately, some people consider music to be the voices of demons. Therefore, a harmonica, flute, or violin could very well be shoved deep inside you… Bonus: +1 Perception The character is able to play musical instruments Drop Chance: 7% |
| Storyteller You know how to tell mind-blowing stories: fables, fairy tales, legends, myths. Unfortunately, they are only interesting to children. And many may misunderstand your friendship with children... Bonus: +1 Cognitive Ability The character is able to tell interesting stories Drop Chance: 5% | Actor Acting is in your blood. You are capable of transforming into anyone. Alas, some do not approve of performances. And when a man dresses as a woman and vice versa, things can end very badly… Bonus: +1 Cognitive Ability The character is able to perform short skits Drop Chance: 5% |
| Singer Fate blessed you with a wonderful voice; unfortunately, you failed to achieve widespread fame, so you won't be let anywhere except the local tavern Bonus: +1 Physical Development The character is able to sing Drop Chance: 7% | Dancer You are someone for whom nothing hinders performing complex and intricate movements; your grace surpasses those around you. However, in some remote villages, you might be mistaken for someone possessed by demons… Bonus: +1 Agility The character is able to dance Drop Chance: 5% |
| Woodcarver Your hands grow from the right place. You can easily carve a beautiful pattern, a figure of a deer, an insult on a fence, or even a doll. Though usually, it is lonely housewives who seek your services Bonus: 10 small wooden items at the start of the game (invented by the player) Drop Chance: 5% | Jeweler A keen eye allows you to distinguish diamond from graphite, gold from cast iron, and women from men. But in reality, you are capable of more. You just need to avoid falling into the clutches of demons, otherwise your creations will please only your demonic mistress… Bonus: 5 precious stones at the start of the game (invented by the player) Drop Chance: 5% |
| Junk Dealer You spent your childhood in your grandfather's attic. There was so much junk that you learned to distinguish cheap trash from expensive. Truth be told, if you are called upon to appraise a certain item, it's better to change your place of residence and never tell anyone again that you understand ancient artifacts Bonus: 1 rare item at the start of the game (invented by the player) Drop Chance: 5% | Blacksmith Forge swords before the demons destroy your soul and force you to forge torture tools for their perverse purposes! Although, most likely, you will be forging horseshoes and nails. Those things are needed too! Bonus: +3 Physical Development A lucky horseshoe, a bag of nails, and a hammer Drop Chance: 5% |
| Curious Well, it seems you somehow ferreted out information about one of the demons. I hope you are at least a good person with a steady moral compass and obtained this knowledge honestly? Bought a scroll from a drunken mage or found an old book in your grandmother's chest, right? Otherwise, it's frightening to imagine how you will use this information… Do you realize that demons never give what you ask for? Do you!? Why do you need chalk? What are you drawing on the floor!? A protective circle? Looks more like a pentagram… Why do you need a knife?.. Bonus: Access to information about one of the demons Drop Chance: 1% | Creature Lover You spent long years gathering information about various creatures inhabiting this world. Many respect and value you, however, there are quite a few who believe you are in league with monsters that make an already difficult life unbearable. And the magical book with eyes that you use to determine the type of monster inspires trust in very few… Bonus: +1 Cognitive Ability A magical grimoire providing information on the characteristics of monsters and animals Drop Chance: 5% |
| Jack of All Trades It seems you are one of those rare people who can do everything. But as they say, a jack of all trades is a master of none. So there's no reason to be overly joyful. If you can fish a little, hunt a little, and write a little, you still won't become a fisherman, a hunter, or a scribe Bonus: +1 to all characteristics Drop Chance: 5% | Untalented It seems you can't do anything. But don't be upset, there are always plenty of vacancies for loaders or miners. And prostitutes are in demand, even if you aren't a woman…… Bonus: You can't do anything Drop Chance: 35% |
Thread of Fate
What interesting thing has fate prepared for you? Greatness? Wealth? Health? Maybe happiness? Hm, yeah, heh. See for yourself...
| Forlorn Nobody needs you. You have no home, no family, no friends. Most likely, you are also a virgin. Perhaps it's due to unpleasant breath, or perhaps fate simply decided to mock you by stripping away all social ties. It's strange that you managed to find a job at all. But such a position can have its advantages; for example, you aren't attached to anyone and sexually transmitted diseases pose no threat to you. Bonus: +1 Perception The character is unable to pass checks in dialogues with NPCs; courtesans charge double price; opponents attack the character last Drop Chance: 5% | Fool Yes, you are a dummy. But isn't that the best gift of all that a sentient being can receive? Although, my tongue refuses to call you sentient… Bonus: +20 Faith Character's Cognitive Abilities cannot exceed 1 Character is unable to read, write, or wield magic Drop Chance: 5% |
| Elder Perhaps you are young in body, but your soul has always had one foot in the grave. The weight of centuries pulls you toward the earth, and you are unable to resist it. You want nothing, you need nothing except silence and peace, but you are unable to attain them. Are there any positive sides to being old? Probably not, if it's the frailty of the flesh. As for the frailty of the soul… Bonus: The player's character can give advice to another player's character, which gives the latter from 0 to 100 experience units (once per day and for no more than 3 characters). Drop Chance: 10% | Cursed Legends say that once sentient beings dreamed of immortality. Today, such dreams are akin to madness. Immortality? Here? In this world? No thanks. To close one's eyes and never open them again — that is the main dream of everyone capable of even a bit of reflection. Unfortunately, you were unlucky and became undead, but don't worry, sooner or later you will lose your mind… Bonus: Character does not require food or sleep Poisons and intoxications have no effect on the character After each death, the character's Cognitive Abilities are halved. Once they fall below 1, the player's character turns into uncontrollable undead Drop Chance: 10% |
| Old Friend Friends are good. Old friends you haven't seen in a long time are even better. Past grievances are forgotten, and there are countless stories to tell each other. Bonus: The player's character is acquainted with one of the NPCs in the game location Drop Chance: 15% | Skeptic Your mind is tuned skeptically. You are used to doubting everything. You have repeatedly seen the fragility and unreliability of any mental constructs, words, meanings, opinions. Your paranoia and distrust of everything in the world run far ahead of you. It's strange how you haven't committed suicide yet in this terrible world where faith is the only foundation of life for most sentient beings. Perhaps it's because you simply doubted while tightening the noose around your neck... Bonus: Character's Faith parameter cannot exceed 1 Demonic forces are unable to influence the character, and gods cannot provide assistance Drop Chance: 5% |
| Strong-Willed You are an extremely strong-willed person. Your psyche steadfastly withstands any horrors of existence. Neither witches' charms, nor mages' intrigues, nor monsters' attacks frighten you. This has its downsides; pleasures also affect you little. But on the other hand, can base feelings compare with the all-encompassing firmness of your spirit, overcoming any adversity? Bonus: Character always passes will checks Drop Chance: 5% | Medium You possess an unusual gift; few are able to see the souls of the dead and communicate with them. However, not every medium believes that fate has rewarded them. Many think it spat on them. After all, now not only living neighbors disturb your sleep, but the dead as well. Moreover, aggressive ghosts can be seen by everyone, and many can discover their deceased relatives in the attic Bonus: The player's character is able to see ghosts and communicate with them Drop Chance: 15% |
| Mute It seems fate deprived you of speech. On one hand, it's inconvenient, but on the other, you can't blurt out some stupidity at the wrong moment. Furthermore, you are unable to lie skillfully; sign language usually doesn't lend itself to complex webs of lies Bonus: Character is unable to speak Drop Chance: 5% | Empty It seems fate prepared nothing unusual for you. Apparently, she lost the papers regarding your life. Most likely, this is for the best; surely there was nothing good there Bonus: Better nothing than something bad Drop Chance: 25% |
