Traits

Read from the figure's description, which a model wrote. Open "why" for the sentence a trait came from.

Omens

  • Caul or seventh child marks the cursed
    why

    A man born the seventh son in an unbroken line of boys becomes one, and the change arrives on a Friday night whether or not he wants it: the sources are explicit that he can neither bring the transformation forward nor prevent it from happening.

Utility powers

  • Shapeshifting
    why

    The mechanism itself is described with an odd domestic precision that makes it stranger rather than more explicable — he must roll himself over the ground through ash or loose sand, and gets up from it a dog, returning to human form at dawn.

Roles

Judged from the works' own entries, not from the description. Carries: the figure holds the role. Meets: the role is in its stories, held by something it meets.
