Originator:  Nikul Solis

Lineage Established: 1700 A.D.

Originating Lineage:  Asmodai

Nicknames: Lover Boy/Girl, The Gentle Fury

​

"Love me, and know paradise. Betray me, and know hell."

​

Descended from the Asmodai yet gentler in their approach, the Leannan Sidhe embody the duality of love itself. They nurture and protect those within their sphere of caring with tender devotion, offering healing and comfort to wounded souls. Yet beneath this gentle exterior lies the terrible fury of love betrayed—for no wrath burns hotter than that of a lover scorned.

​

Lineage Traits:

• Supernatural empathy and healing abilities

• Gentle, nurturing nature toward loved ones

• Devastating retribution when betrayed or angered

• Natural ability to inspire deep devotion

​

Playing a Leannan Sidhe:  Your character loves deeply and completely, making you both the group's emotional anchor and its potential destroyer if that love is threatened. Consider how your need to care for others might conflict with their independence, and what happens when your protective instincts become possessive.

​

Lineage Passive Advantage

 

Musing:  The Leannan Sidhe works like a mythological muse in that their Power can raise the artistic or creative inspiration within another. Nowadays, creativity has gone beyond the arts into vast other fields and with it, so has the guiding presence of the Leannan Sidhe.  This presence gives off an ethereal aura to make the Leannan Sidhe feel welcoming and a  comfort to be near by their allies.  This allows allies to feel emboldened when on their team with the Leannan Sidhe.  However, the enemy of the Leannan Sidhe will feel the opposite when near them, and it will adversely affect the enemy of the Leannan Sidhe as though they were scorned by the Leannan Sidhe’s musing.

• When an ally or enemy enters the Melee Range of the Leannan Sidhe, the Aura takes effect. [Roll: Ally or Enemy Attack Action]

  • Allies within Melee Range make all Attack Actions with Advantage.

  • Enemies within Melee Range make all Attack Actions with Disadvantage.

 

Lineage Passive Disadvantage

 

Separation Anxiety:  The Leannan Sidhe are traditionally very obsessive creatures over things they claim as their own.  This is doubly so in the people they have marked as their own.  As such, separation from such a thing, whether it be a person, an object, or a particular location, the Leannan Sidhe must always find a way to their bound obsession, less Anxiety take hold.

• The Leannan Sidhe marks one Person, Object or Location as their obsession… While Separated from said obsession, the Leannan Sidhe must roll a Willpower Check, otherwise be stricken with Anxiety Lvl.2 for the remainder of a scene or Encounter.  [Roll: Willpower vs DC 10]

  • The Leannan must choose one obsession as an Object, a Place, or a Location.

    • This Choice is Permanent, and will be marked on the HUD.

    • All Obsessions can be stolen or legitimately owned by others, including Locations.

    • This disadvantage cannot be turned off or countered with Edge Actions.

  • On Success:  The Leannan retains their composure and may function normally while separate from their obsession.

  • On Fail:  The Leannan gains Anxiety Lvl.2 Emotional State, and makes all checks at Disadvantage for the remainder of the scene or encounter. 

  • On Botch:  The Leannan gains Frenzied condition and must spend their actions seeking to locate or return to the obsession.  

    • If the Obsession is Possessed by another, this will cause the Leannan to lash out violently at the one who holds the obsession. 

    • If the Obsession is a Person not present in the scene, the Leannan will spend all their actions trying to return to that person, and violently lash out at any in their path. 

    • If the Obsession is a Place, then the Leannan will spend their actions attempting to flee back to said location… on a failed Flee Attempt, they will lash out violently at any in their path.

Heartmender:  Unlike the Asmodai, who revel in turning one’s sins against them, the Leannan Sidhe takes a gentler approach of Love the Sinner.  With this ability, the Vampire dedicates themselves to repairing the body rather than destroying it.  As a surgeon with a scalpel saves lives, the vampire is the surgeon, the scalpel, the operating table, and the life support.
