A loner, frustrated, and polarized. The Necromancer
thinks people are way too confusing; it’s easier to just be by yourself. Or in your case, in the company of the dead.
The two stat lines for The Necromancer paint you as
either grim and aggressive (Dark 2 & Volatile 1) or closed-off and mysterious (Cold 2 & Dark 1). The Necromancer has low Hot because people are just the worst.
The Necromancer obviously has very strong connections
to death and dying; Medium and Dark Return will both only work if an important character is dead, and several of their moves revolve around harm. This doesn’t mean The Necromancer has to be violent themselves, but you are definitely incentivized to seek out blood and death.
When using Dark Return on side characters, it is mostly
up to the MC what ‘slightly off’ means. Perhaps they lose their capacity to feel fear and pain, or develop a taste for rotten things. It might be worth giving them custom principles and reactions as though they were villains.
The Necromancer’s Darkest Self represents The
Necromancer’s dynamic of extremes; they are either totally opposed to living company, or they obsessively desire it. They don’t get a healthy in-between.
The Necromancer You’ve never really been comfortable with people, friends, that sort of stuff. People are so much easier to deal with when things aren’t so complicated. A quick rite over a shallow grave, and ol’ bones is your new best bud.
Credits That’s the dream, of course. People are too damn nosy to leave you alone.
