Urban Legend

You are an urban legend. Maybe you are the woman that lives in the hut in the middle of the woods, the man that has taken residence in the derelict manor atop a hill at the edge of town, or the hooded figure that can sometimes be seen at the town’s cemetery on moonless nights. People in your town or city know all too well of you and the rumors that surround you, and though many boast of not believing a word, deep down you know they are all scared of you.

Skill

Intimidation, Deception

Equipment

A tattered hooded cloak, an object directly related to the legends that surround you, and a pouch containing 10 gold pieces

Urban Lore

Urban legends are stories, and stories have lore. You are known as an urban legend for a specific reason, whether it’s true or not. Choose your lore, or roll in the table below.

d6	Urban Lore
1	I’m a witch that lures children with song and then absorbs their vital energy to remain young and beautiful forever.
2	I turn into a dreadful beast hungering for human flesh when the clock strikes midnight.
3	I killed a series of partners to inherit my fortune and estate. Their countless bodies are interred in the beautiful gardens that surround my ostentatious manor, giving the roses in my garden their distinct red hue.
4	I made a deal with a powerful devil to never age. I must provide this devil one soul a month or I will turn to dust.
5	I may appear alive, but in reality I’m a ghost that haunts the derelict house I live in. Those that sit down at my table are trapped in my manor for eternity.
6	I was jilted at the altar and died of a broken heart. I now roam the earth searching for a new love, although they must be as dead as me if the match is to work.

Feature: I Heard a Rumor

People in the vicinity of the place you live know of you, and travelers might have heard about you as well. These people know the legends that encircle you, and believe them to be true. As such, they are more likely to be scared of you, intimidated by you, and will try not to incur your wrath.
