LION Environment: PRAIRIE Advantages: * +2d PRAIRIE spirits * +4d COMBAT spells Character: Lion is the brave and powerful warrior. His method is direct and pointed, for he is not a creature of subtlety. Lion prefers to work from surprise and ambush, allowing others to perform tasks for him while he holds his strength in reserve. He will take the offensive if necessary. Any threat to his kin and family is a threat to him. Disadvantages: Lion loses 1 die from Health spells. Lion is vain and demands the most from himself, especially when it comes to his physical condition and appearance. He must live well and demands respect and loy-alty from those around him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIZARD Environment: DESERT Advantages: * +2d DESERT spirits * +2d DETECTION and ILLUSION spells Character: Lizard is the Dreamer. Lizard shamans are always drifting off into daydreams, Astral wanderings, or REM sleep. They are often cryptic and enjoy codes, puzzles, and other devices that try the mind and the wits for long periods of time. Lizard shamans are often smaller and quicker than average. Disadvantages: Lizard is often not paying attention to what he should be. Sending a Lizard shaman to do Astral recon is often a bad idea-- he will wander off, looking at this and that and the other. Lizard is easily distracted and sometimes doesn't make complete sense to others. Lizard shamans are often into hallucinogens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LYNX Environment: MOUNTAINS Advantages: * +2d MOUNTAIN spirits * +4d DETECTION spells Character: Lynx likes secrets. He likes knowing secrets, he likes discovering secrets, he likes telling secrets. To a Lynx shaman, a locked door is an invitation to adventure. Shadowrunning is a perfect life for a Lynx shaman, because Lynx also loves receiving gifts-- including money. Disadvantages: Lynx can be a penny-pincher. Don't try to short-change a Lynx shaman, because he'll know it. Lynx is willing to pay his fair share, but he expects to be paid well for his services as well. Lynx shamans cringe at the thought of low-paying runs. They also enjoy lording the secrets they know over those who don't. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
