Roslyn
150 HP 100 CC
No one knows where Roslyn came from, precisely, or how she gained her powers. What is clear, though, is that she's ruthless, albeit surprisingly gentle. What's less clear are her abilities. Those who seek her out often find themselves serving her willingly. The secret that she doesn't share is her ability to use near-invisible magical strings to control her targets.
The real question is why. She doesn't seem to have ties to the organization, or to anyone else for that matter. She's very certainly keeping those she enthralls in her castle, but she hardly even seems to play with them herself, allowing them to pleasure one another.
Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain (Passive)
Roslyn prefers to stay behind the action, allowing her puppets to do the attacking for her. As long as she has a puppet in play, she can not be directly attacked.
Puppetmaster (Out of Combat Passive)
Most who encounter Roslyn don't realize what she's capable of until it's far too late. During each of her turns, she attaches strings to her victim. Her target has a 60% chance to notice this transpiring. Once they do, they take five CC damage per string as Roslyn starts using them more actively, but she can no longer use this skill to attach strings to any target.
Strings
Roslyns control over her puppets is represented by strings, and the more she has on them, the more skills she can use. Strings do 1 CC damage per string as her will presses on the puppets. Rolling lower than a ten on a saving roll against Roslyn adds another string. Rolling higher than a ninety removes a string.
Dance of Strings
75%
Roslyn lets loose dozens of strings, hoping to ensnarl her foes. One string is added to each person it hits.
Embrace
65%
Roslyn embraces one of her targets, stroking them warmly. Deals 5 CC damage and adds one string per turn. Chance to escape starts at 65% and gains 5% per turn. Roslyn must use this skill every turn to maintain it.
Tug
Requires 1 or higher strings
85%
Roslyn tugs on her strings, drawing her targets closer to her. This generates a feeling of attraction to her, dealing 5 CC damage
Twirl
Requires 1 or higher strings
50%+10% per additional string (up to 90%)
Roslyn spins the strings in her fingers, stunning her foe. Can only be done once per three turns, and breaks one string if the number is 4 or higher.
Doesn’t this feel nice?
Requires 2 or higher strings
75%
Roslyn extols the virtue of her strings while tugging them gently, doing 10 CC damage.
Puppet Thoughts
Requires 3 or higher strings.
65%
Roslyn begins to form a psychic connection between her and her puppet. The affected target takes 5 CC damage per turn as their mind is subsumed. Once this effect begins, it’s maintained throughout the encounter.
Puppet Surrender
Requires Puppet Thoughts
25%+(5% per string above 3+5% per 10 CC)
Roslyn sends a strong pulse of thought down her strings to her puppet. The pulse washes over the targets mind, blocking out will. Roslyn then takes over, instantly increasing string to 5, and charming the target into a willing puppet. Target is under Roslyn’s control, and takes all CC damage per turn from strings and Puppet Thoughts. If the initial pulse fails, the target breaks free of all strings and heals half CC damage dealt. Chance for escape from Puppet Surrender is 100-current CC. If target is fully charmed by this skill, they are transformed into a Mindless Puppet.
Embrace me
Requires 4 or more strings
70%
Roslyn urges her puppet to fall into her embrace. Targets affected by this take the same damage as Embrace, but Roslyn does not have to maintain it. Chance of escape remains steady at 65%.
Lustful Strings
Requires 4 or more strings
60%
Roslyn pulls on all her strings at once, sending a wave of lust through her target and doing 20 CC damage.
Puppet Control
Requires 5 or higher strings
45% + 10% per string above five
Roslyn takes forceful and full control of her puppets body. She can use them in any way she pleases, often to hold back another attacker with force or pleasure. They aren't truthfully considered charmed by this control, though attempting to resist the string does 15 damage to them, and they're not able to use any other skills or target anyone besides the one she's directing them to. They also don't take any additional CC damage outside of Strings and Puppet Dance. They roll against the initial roll for Puppet Control to break free.
Puppet Dance
Requires Puppet Control
If there's no one else to use her puppet against, or if she wants to impress the pleasure of being a puppet on her victim, she'll play the strings masterfully. Each movement is meant to inspire simple joy of giving into the strings, and sometimes she'll even use their own body to please themselves or her. The victim takes 10 CC (unavoidable) from this skill. If Target is fully charmed by this skill, they are transformed into a Hero Puppet.
Puppets Bliss
Requires 5 or more strings
50%+1% per 5 CC
Roslyn plays the strings masterfully, sending blissful thoughts down to her puppet. If successful, the target is charmed as they embrace being Roslyn’s obedient puppet.
