- Party cyphers:
- (Alturi’s:)
- Level 5 Motion Activator - Small synth nodule blob. When attached to another cypher or artifact, anything larger than a small dog sets it off in immediate range.
- Level 2 Ranged Protector - Shaped like a pair of circlets. Fits around a narrow wrist. When the master item is activated, the slave item projects Armor 2 for 10 minutes.
- Level 5 Controlled Blinking Nodule - Crystal nodule affixed to armor. For the next 28 hours, each time the wearer of the armor is struck, he teleports within immediate range to a position he desires. Modifies defenses for one round thereafter.

- (Doctor Percepto’s:)
- Level 5 Reanimator – p9 COL. If a mammal or reptile creature has not been dead for more than 28 hours, this device restores a basic semblance of life by reactivating their nervous system. The creature does not have the knowledge, skills, personality, or memories of its former self—it’s just a mindless shell that can perform basic motor
- functions: walk, run, or otherwise move; pick up and hold objects; make crude attacks. It obeys the verbal commands of the user. The creature operates for one hour before collapsing. Although the GM makes the final call, small creatures are typically level 1, and others are level 2.
- Outfits:
- Travel:
- Loose yellow unfeatured coat over long sleeved grey shirt tying at wrists and neck and long pocketed purple tunic encircled by tiger fur sporran with small dangling trophies of the hunt. Striped yellow-and-purple knee breeches tucking into soft soled high dark leather boots with flaring, slit tops. White Stockings, silver lizard-leather gloves and a broad brimmed, high flat topped textured purple hat complete the outfit.
- Casual:
- Buckle shoes, grey breaches, unpocketed white tunic, tiger fur sporran, soft red berger cap.
- Appearance:
- A tattoo of a torque around his neck and dacien bracelets around his arms, from a tradition of wearing one’s wealth. Auburn (red brown) hair, south Asian skin tone, freckles.
- Hobbies:
- Flower arrangement. It’s really just another kind of engineering and biomechanics, but one finds such unique flowers and blooms out and about. Often involves grafting.
- Owns a sesskie named Pica
- History:
- Ibraven County is on the western penninusla of Iscobal, with forest to the north and rugged hills on the south. Temperate climate, with the occasional hurricane.
- An Ibraven Iscobean by birth and upbringing, Alturi was a fairly renowned hunter and eventually hired as man at arms to Count Ibraven’s second son, the mild-mannered Lord Leggine Egon Ibraven. Lord Leggine was tasked to learn more of the grounds he will be expected to manage and told to accompany Alturi on hunting trips.
- Alturi has been a hunter as long as he can remember. His mother and father were farmers first and foremost, often contending with the fishplagues, windstorms and water spouts which would toss land-capable fish upon the countryside, mudcarp which would consume crops like slow locusts until the sun dried them out. When not helping on the farm, though, Alturi and his father would supplement the household income by their hunting, and would hunt all manner of beasts. The variety and occasionally deadly abilities of their haul were the talk of the town.
- Most of his other great skills, and his talents as a craftsman, were gained during an incident which would forever change Alturi’s pastoral life.
- While hunting together, Leggine and his aneen were swallowed by a mechanical monstrousity much like an antlion. Alturi, motivated by bonds of friendship, service, and conscience, dove in after, and was dismembered by the creature; but exposure to air rapidly corroded its shell and structure, leaving only wriggling metal tendrils. These tendrils sought out the shattered pieces of Leggine and began to grow into a mass. Seeing as how he had few options, Alturi used his one good arm to shove some of the tendrils into his own body, and used them to reattach his arm and legs, and even to place a few of his internal organs back more or less where they belong. Being no doctor himself, not everything went back precisely as would be optimal, so it takes him longer to recover from exertion and injury than it does others.
- When he returned carrying Lord Leggine, now a pile of viscera and metal cables and either dead or hanging onto life by a thread, the doctors took both in immediately. At the Count’s command Alturi was gently vivisected in exploratory surgeries to determine the best way forward with Leggine.
- To this day, Leggine is experimented upon frequently in efforts to restore him ever closer to humanity, and Alturi was the testbed for most of the early treatments. He underwent these procedures willingly, and with a great deal of anaesthetic, for the sake of his friend and master Lord Leggine; the Count would have it no other way, but Alturi is valued for his loyalty nevertheless.
- Alturi was significantly altered, even mentally, by the intrusion of the metallic antlion. He has gained an intuitive grasp of simple engineering, biomechanical construction, and metalworking.
