Mesa: Character Sheet

From The Whereabouts

Basic Information

Name: Mesa
Title: The Bamboo Ronin
Type: Dragon-Blooded Exalt
Age: 42
Player: Dan H.
Aspect: Wood
Concept: Grass-Spider
Motivation: Find the owner of the bamboo sanxian.
Political Affiliation: The Hallowed Order of the Grass Spiders
Anima: Mesa's motions leave glowing green trails of Essence in the air, which sprout vines with leaves and petals that shrivel up quickly after Mesa's movements take him elsewhere. At high levels, small plants, flowers, and insects spring from the ground where he steps, again dying out quickly when he leaves. At maximum power, any surrounding bamboo bends around Mesa to form a grand archway above wherever he stands.

Familiar: Fenrir (God-Blooded Wolf)

Loyalties

Motivation Tell the story of the Grass-Spiders.
Intimacies The Circle With No Name is the closest thing to a family I've got. *sigh* Opal is the closest thing to a wife I've got. Fenrir; man's best friend, even if he's a little rugged for the city life. Makoto Seta; I want what this guy is smoking.
