Order of the True Self

The Order of the True Self is the newest of the Blood Hunter orders to arise. Having thought to have been mistaken for latent magical potential or some form of possession, the members of the order were able to manifest a shadow self, a "Persona", the manifestation of their inner self. Using hemocraft and ancient knowledge, they seek to maintain control over their Personas while using them to protect people from themselves. These strong-willed blood hunters use their willpower and strength to manifest their true selves in material form to prove that they are more than the sum total of what is destined, and dealing with both threats many and few.

Aware of One's True Self

When you reach level 3, you become aware of the inner self that dwells within you, and meet your Persona. (Either roll or choose from the list below, choice matters for later features)

Once it has manifested, your Persona can perform 1 of 2 actions based off the type of Persona you chose.

Twilight Bonding

You have learned to harness the arcane nature of your Persona and learned how to focus it's power on another person. Once per long rest, you may choose an ally to gift a Twilight Shard to, a portion of your Persona's power.

A Twilight Shard is a consumable object that has 3 main functions;

• The holder can use the Twilight Shard to allow them to channel your Persona, any throws made must be made using the holder's stats
• If that damage would drop holder's HP to or past 0, Twilight Shards can be used to save the player and leave the holder on 1HP + their Con Modifier
• If the holder lands a critical hit against an opponent, the holder can use the Twilight Shard to release a faction of the Persona's power into the opponent, effect differs based off your Persona's archetype
  
  • The Magician archetype adds an additional dice to the critical roll and that dice deals another damage form of holder's choice (for example; a critical hit with a long sword would result in 2D8 of slashing damage, with this effect the player rolls an D8 of "X" type of damage, such as fire or necrotic)
  • The Chariot archetype doubles critical damage (for example; if the addition dice added due to a critical hit is 5, that number becomes 10)
  • The Lover archetype applies a random condition onto the opponent, using a D6 to decide.
    
    1. Charmed
    2. Stunned
    3. Blinded
    4. Frightened
    5. Deafened
    6. Unconscious

A Twilight Shard lasts till your next long rest, and takes up a Persona use. If the holder uses any of the effects above, the Shard is consumed. Due to it's bond to the holder, it can't be used by anyone else and will fade away if not in the original holder's possession

Traverse the Shadow World

Upon reaching level 11, your studies of the arcane and the nature of Personas have allowed you to detect the aspects of the world not within visible view. This grants you advantage in perception throws involving looking for hidden or secret objects or beings.

Note: The DM does have final say on this.
