Gordy: You see a group of adventurers, about 4 of them, making a mess of the store. 2 of them, strong brutes, are holding the store owner up against a wall and threatening them. A girl with blonde hair is casually setting fire to the racks with a candle while cackling madly and the last one, a short and fat figure in a cloak, is walking up to those in the store and clicking his fingers repeatedly until their heads droop. You don't remember them walking in, but you see a dark necklace on the ground, plate obscured by some rags.

Name: Reaper

Starting skills: Boosting critical damage, and attacks with high crit chance, be they physical or magical.

Gordy: As you grab the necklace, you notice a stone plate. You quickly tuck it in to your pocket as your shout attracts the attention of the adventurers. 1 of the brutes walks towards you: The other one pins down the shop keeper by himself. The girl and the hooded figure also walk towards you, as the girl speaks in a sing-songy voice.

"We're just doing our jobs. The 'Unicorn's Patch' owes us a lot of money, and we're just here to collect."

This is an obvious lie, as you've known the shopkeeper was eccentric, but always paid everything on time.


MK: Added. It's kinda an unusual 'power': focusing on critical hits, but I'll work with it.

You are shaken awake by a maid. This isn't too unusual, but it means there's an emergency. Once she sees you're awake she stops shaking you and calmly waits for you to wake up. As you do you realize the noble herself is standing at the doorway, seemingly in a panic. She's holding a white envelope with the blue wax seal adorning it. It looks very official.

"You must take this message to the Merchant's Guild, it's very important that you do this immediately, it could cost me my household."


Steel: You manage to haphazardly leave your bed and stare at the bubble. It's definitely not natural. Perhaps it's magic?

You feel oddly responsible for the bubble's existence, like you're the reason it's there.

Steel: You attempt to control the bubble with a variety of hand movements, but all of them seem to fail. Willing it doesn't work either, as it stubbornly floats in the air right until it pops from a small insect flying into it.
