Chapter #2Rat Clan Heroes by: Unknown ** Image ID #2152056 Unavailable **
The Rat Clan
Once known for their unmatched artistry and scientific advancements, in recent years their intelligence has instead been applied to the trades of cunning and trickery. Indeed, this clan's society now rewards and respects those who are willing to tear down others in the name of their own self-interest. While this approach doesn't do much to help their reputation, it has made the rat clan the largest and most prosperous clan in Armello...
 Mercurio
Fight: 4 | Body: 5 | Wits: 5 | Spirit: 2
At this point, Mercurio's natural two-faced nature has wrapped him up in such a web of lies that even he can't remember what the truth is anymore. Does he cheat and steal in service of some higher purpose, or simply in his own self interest? Is he attempting to seize the throne out of a genuine interest to unite the warring clans, or simply for his own power? Even he hardly knows the answer to those questions, and he seems to be locked in some sort of cognitive dissonance, lying and cheating one day and giving charitably to the poor the next. The only thing known for sure is that he's a womanizer who can charm his way into anyone's pants, and then leave them heartbroken by sunrise next morning.
 Zosha
Fight: 5 | Body: 4 | Wits: 4 | Spirit: 3
Some rats seek influence and fortune through deception and trickery. Some, like the Night Mother, sought glory through much more direct means; the simple, utter destruction of all those who oppose her. The countless murders organized by the Night Mother were an open secret among the rats, but authorities could never directly link her to any crimes, nor would they be brave enough to convict her anyway. When other affluent individuals in the clan pooled their resources and organized the Crimson Purge, they found the Night Mother's forces surprisingly meager, and easy to defeat. That is, until they realized that the web of murders they assumed was the work of an entire organization, were all actually the work of a single, loyal assassin...
 Sargon
Fight: 3 | Body: 4 | Wits: 5 | Spirit: 4
Not much is known about this hero. Rumors nervously whispered among the slums of the rat clan portray him as being able to see into the future with almost occult clairvoyance. This made the seemingly humble rodent unstoppable in the bustling clan's politics, as he's able to predict his enemy's every move long before they happen. Despite the potential for such a rat to easily achieve great power, Sargon has relegated himself mostly to the shadows of rat society, delving deeper and deeper into the secrets of the occult. There, he's uncovered a sprawling prophecy handed down by ancient civilizations, which claims he will one day be the rightful ruler of Armello...
 Griotte
Fight: 4 | Body: 4 | Wits: 5 | Spirit: 3
Not much is known about this hero. She was once the wife of one of the most influential barons in Armello, and was known for having some of the best cooking in the rat clan. The joyful baroness grew nice and plump on the bountiful food her husband provided. One winter, however, the baron's lands were wracked with a severe food shortage. Many starved, and even Griotte's portion was reduced to almost nothing. Against all odds, though, the baroness was somehow able to stay well-fed and maintain her weight, despite having almost nothing to eat. Nobody could explain how, though some speculated the mysterious disappearances of many of her serfs may be related...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
