Focalor

A trait stemming from the Eboncrow bloodline.

Odorless and more immediately fatal compared to its bolstering-blood frenzying cousin. Eboncrows are able to control the dose that is distributed to their victims.

In small amounts, dizziness, nausea and confusion and thrashing are common symptoms that may not necessarily lead to death but certainly extreme discomfort. Larger quantities can overstimulate the heart and lead to a quick death in a matter of minutes.

Outwardly, it appears similar to a strong venom, but make no mistake that it is a bloodborne disease that can quickly spread to infect others that have made contact with it. It is important to note that Effluvial Crows are immune to their disease, but the inverse is not true. It is delivered via a puncture from their claws.

It can be used in conjunction as a “combo ability” with the Lesser Eboncrow’s (peacock) strain to prevent the victim from succumbing to death when afflicted by their contagion. Between the two, this helps to ensure that there are far more useful hostages than there would be silent corpses.

A physical trait of Eboncrows, where one’s wings are a bit shorter, but also more finely shaped than most of the Crow variants. As a result they are swifter and more agile in aerial combat compared to their cousins. It makes them very formidable fighters as well as difficult to catch.

Few are able to outfly a pair of Eboncrow wings in terms of speed and grace, but if one does not train up their stamina, then it may only be a matter of time before they are caught up to.

An Eboncrow latent perk. The individual works naturally well in groups--too well, in fact. They will prefer to be part of a mob rather than fight alone, but once having blended into the crowd of angry faces, they are able to weave in and out effortlessly, picking up hits where others leave off and sleuthing for other equally delicious opportunities to contribute.

An Eboncrow latent perk. Individuals with this trait are naturally good at making connections within all societies. Rules and etiquette come easily to them even if they don’t believe in it themselves. They can naturally find their way to a black market or ties with the societal underworld. Either way if there’s a question that needs answering, they usually know who to ask.
