You belong to the Rinkaku Brood, a secretive clan of ghouls whose power lies in regeneration and overwhelming physical might. Members of the Brood are survivors — forged through trauma, mutation, or experimentation. United by shared blood and instinct, your group thrives in the shadows, hunting to sustain your monstrous half while hiding among mortals.
The Brood believes that pain is proof of life — and that through suffering, one attains true strength. To them, the Rinkaku is more than a weapon; it is the manifestation of endurance and defiance.
- Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Poisoner’s kit or Disguise kit
- Equipment: A dark cloak stained with faint traces of blood, a vial of preserved kagune tissue, a mask used to conceal your identity during hunts, and a pouch with 10 gp worth of scavenged coin.
Your Rinkaku Brood connection grants you access to a hidden network of ghouls, smugglers, and sympathetic healers who understand your condition. In cities, you can find safe houses stocked with minimal food (human or otherwise), disguises, and local information.
You can also identify other Rinkaku ghouls by subtle cues — body language, scent, or the faint pulse of your kagune when they are near.
