Orfamay
Orfamay is a girl in her mid-teens with an innate talent for summoning creatures. With no training, and no idea that she ever possessed such powers, Orfamay's pubescent years wound up being far more destructive than anybody else's. A major accident resulted in her talent triggering against her will, causing herds of angry predators to overrun her town, leaving her as its only survivor. Weakened from those events, Orfamay fell into the hands of roving bandits, whom she was powerless to resist.
When Orfamay summons a creature, it takes a small portion of her life force with it; she has a mild empathic link with any creatures she has under her control. If the creature is hurt or killed, Orfamay suffers "feedback" from it, which can incapacitate her if it happens frequently enough, or in a large enough burst (i.e. from a very large or powerful creature).
In battle, she is equipped with an ordinary knife, a Skill-based weapon with no special traits. However, her main combat focus is that of her summoned creatures. The creatures only respond to three commands.
- Go! - Seek out the nearest enemy and attack.
- Come! - Stay within a few tiles of Orfamay, attacking the closest enemy to her.
- Heel! - Do not stray further than one tile from Orfamay if possible. Do not attack enemies unless attacked.
Orfamay also stands out in Support; if she is nearby her summoned creatures during battle, she will effectively gain Support with herself, in her own scenes.
