Ashile

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 Jackdaw-unique trait hailing directly from the Effluvial Crow bloodline.

Though they cannot produce the trademark [Shatter Morale] ability that their relatives are known for. This trait instead allows them to be able to keenly identify feathers belonging to the different Crow variants within a quick glance--granting them invaluable utility for those looking to glimpse in on Crow society.

They are able to tell individual apart from individual at a glance, and are more attuned to the ways of fortune telling using said feathers. Their readings have an uncanny way of being fairly close to home.

An Effluvial Crow latent perk. It replaces one’s knee-jerk “flight or fight'' reaction with simply “fight or fight.” It makes one’s personality dauntless in the face of danger. Not to be confused with blind foolishness, it instead allows one to adopt the persona of a true challenger ready to confront their opponents.

It grants the individual the ability to appropriately size up their enemies to see if it is worth the time of day. Not only that, it ensures that fear is seldom ever a variable within the hearts of those with Effluvial blood running through it. Their minds are as clear as day.

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.
