− | + | I recognise that it's a tricky thing to write a convincing deity, even a minor one. I'm open to discussion and compromise about the details below and how that might or might not influence your character. Just message me. :) | |

+ | - Nym is a newly raised member of the Fey Court and a minor deity with several domains, notably protection, nature and ancient occult knowledge. You can pray to her and she can sense her 'name' being invoked in from a vast distance. She can then use the Gaia Transport Network (read: anima wells) to teleport across the planet's surface although this takes time as Nym's 'spiritual code' is far denser than a normal Bee's. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Protection:'' This domain extends to protecting others or self, wards, aburation magicks. Those who need shelter or protection are often drawn to her without knowing why and Nym will often protect those who are less experienced than she is. This, combined with her Nature domain, also mean that she automatically grounds other people near her. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Nature:'' This domain extends to awareness of, and ability to command, the natural world. The effect is lesser on free thinking beings (i.e. humans or bees) but nature lovers or those who need anchoring are often drawn to her. Beasts of all sorts, as well as various flora, will come to her aid if possible. Life springs up wherever she walks and she is able to coax vitality back from the feeblest spark of life. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Occult:'' Nym is ancient and beholden to many secrets of previous ages. This is not the kind of power to trifle with, not even for a minor deity, so she rarely dips into her 'bag of tricks' unless she absolutely has to. Most of these 'tricks' are unknown at present, but it is a reasonable assumption to think that she uses this ancient knowledge to enhance her already formidable physical qualities, regenerate, shield others from harm and more. | ||
- As an Outsider, Nym is resistant or immune to normal weapons and low level magick. She does not need to eat or drink, cannot be affected by poison or toxins of any type, resistant to mind control and similar and immune to sickness and disease, except the Filth and it's effects She sees through illusions and reads lies told to her easily, and functions as a mobile Anima Well for Faction and Gaian agents, her DNA able to decode and re-encode the lives of other bees who die in her proximity. Filth creatures cannot stand her presence for long and often become enraged near her, targetting her and only her to the exclusion of all others. She can regenerate away from fighting but once 'killed' requires an extended rest (often hours or even days/weeks) before she is 'reborn' at the nearest Anima well, and then only in a weakened state. | - As an Outsider, Nym is resistant or immune to normal weapons and low level magick.

− | - As an outsider, Nym is able to be effected by a range of abilities that do not affect ordinary Bees, such as exorcism and banishment magics. She can also be targeted by the 'Ultimate Powers' bestowed on ex-Tokyo PCs by the Nephalim and this is a significant source of concern for her. | + | - As an outsider (Fey/Celestial), Nym is able to be effected by a range of abilities that do not affect ordinary Bees, such as exorcism and banishment magics.

- Despite this, much of her power is locked away unless she is in the Forests of Transylvania. This is as much a narrative choice as it is a mechanical one (it's not fun for other players to interact with such a powerful character unless there are checks and balances in place, I understand this). As such, don't expect her to do amazing things in public where revealing her true nature would violate the Secret World. | - Despite this, much of her power is locked away unless she is in the Forests of Transylvania.
