Wealth and Reputation
Wealth: +21
Professional Skill: Diplomacy
Reputation: +4

Feats:
* Attractive: +4 bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks to deceive, seduce, or change the attitude of anyone who might find Jynx appealing.
* Dodge Focus: +1 to Dodge bonus.
* Enchanting Beauty: Anyone who would normally be romantically attracted to Jynx must make an opposed Charisma check upon meeting her. If they fail she gains a +4 bonus on all Charisma-based checks with them. If they fail by 5 or more they are smitten by her and are treated as being love struck (see Complications). Jynx may only affect a number of people this way equal to her Charisma score. If they succeed, nothing happens. However, should they succeed the opposed Charisma check by 10 or more, Jynx becomes love struck with them; at last she has found her equal!
* Fascinate (Diplomacy): Using a standard action, make a skill check against Sense Motive or Will saving throw (whichever has higher bonus). If successful, the target pays no attention to anyone other than Jynx. This can be maintained by taking a standard action each round, for a maximum number of rounds equal to Jynx’s skill rank. Any potential threat, such as an ally sneaking up on a fascinated target, grants the target a new Sense Motive check or Will save. Any obvious threat automatically breaks the fascination.
* Fascinate (Perform): Using a standard action, make a skill check against Sense Motive or Will saving throw (whichever has higher bonus). If successful, the target pays no attention to anyone other than Jynx. This can be maintained by taking a standard action each round, for a maximum number of rounds equal to Jynx’s skill rank. Any potential threat, such as an ally sneaking up on a fascinated target, grants the target a new Sense Motive check or Will save. Any obvious threat automatically breaks the fascination.
* Inspire (Complacency): Jynx can affect a number of subjects equal to half her expert level (with a minimum of one), and the effects last for a number of rounds equal to her expert level. Unwilling targets make a Will saving throw (Difficulty 10 + half her expert level + her Charisma). She can use any combination of Inspire effects a total of once per day per two expert levels with a minimum of one (so a 6th-level expert can Inspire three times per day). Jynx can spend a point of Conviction for an additional use of Inspire that day. The subjects let down their guard. They suffer a –5 penalty on Notice and Sense Motive checks. This also counts as a distraction sufficient to hide using Stealth.
* Lucky: Add Charisma bonus to Fortitude, Reflex and Will saves.
* Prone Fighting: Jynx suffers no penalties on her attack rolls for being prone, and opponents do not gain any bonus to hit her with melee attacks while she is prone. Opponents making ranged attacks against her still have –4 on their attack rolls. She can crawl at half her speed rather than the usual 5-feet per move action.
* Read Character: You’ve got a keen eye for sizing other people up, getting a sense of their capabilities and motives from subtle cues. The way they hold the spoon might reveal they’re a commoner or have peasant upbringing. A swagger and hard eyes might reveal a veteran soldier. You know what to look for, and more importantly, how to interpret it. You can determine a character’s Role, allegiance, station, and experience by observing them. This requires a Sense Motive check, using the DC specified below. You may make one check in each category for each target you deal with; no retry is allowed. Each check requires at least 10 minutes of observation. An impulsive check is possible after a single round, but increases the DC by 10. The Narrator should make all checks secretly. If the check fails by 5 or less, you simply can’t form an opinion. If the check fails by more than 5, you misinterpret what you’re seeing and receive incorrect information. You may take 10 on this check, but you may not take 20.
Task DC
Determine Role 15
Determine station 20
Determine experience 25
Determine allegiance 30
Allegiance: You get a feel of the target’s main allegiance. This is in broad strokes only, such as “loyalist to the throne” or “revolutionary.” At the GM’s discretion this might include the name of a nation, organization, sect, or person. An adept can identify another adept’s arcane philosophy this way.
Experience: You gauge the target’s rough level of experience: Amateur (1st-4th level), Moderately skilled (5th-8th), Highly skilled (9th-12th), Expert in their field (13th-16th), Legendary (17th-20th).
Role: The target’s highest level Role. If you beat the DC by 5 or more, you also have a sense of the target’s Archetype. If you beat the DC by 10 or more, you know all the target’s Roles if they have multiple Roles.
Station: You pick up on clues that give away the target’s station. If the target is disguised, you must first penetrate their disguise or the Illusion. If you succeed by 5 or more, you also have a sense of the target’s Background.
Special: Your target may make an opposed Sense Motive
check to pick up that you’re paying undue attention to
them. Once your target is aware of what you’re up to,
they may attempt to counter with Bluff.
* Talented (Diplomacy & Bluff): +2 bonus to both skills.
* Talented (Sense Motive & Gather Information): +2 bonus to both skills.
* Well-Informed: When encountering an individual, group, or organization for the first time, Jynx can make an immediate Gather Information check as a reaction to see if she has heard something about the subject. This takes the place of a normal Knowledge check (if any). Use the guidelines for Gather Information checks to determine the level of information she gains, and the guidelines for Knowledge checks for the sorts of questions that can be answered. Jynx receives only one check per subject, although the GM may allow another upon encountering the subject again once significant time has passed.

Powers:
Power Rank: +6
Power Bonus: +8 (+6 Rank, +2 Int)

Second Sight (with House Rule Edits for “The Sun Sets”): The character can sense the use of magic, psychic abilities, and most other supernatural powers in the vicinity of the character. The GM makes a Second Sight check in secret as a reaction whenever magic or supernatural powers are used in the character’s general area. The base Difficulty is 10, or the user’s Magical Defense or Psychic Shield check result, whichever is greater and appropriate to the circumstances. The Difficulty increases by +1 for every 10 feet between the character and either the user or subject of the power (whichever is closer). Only one attempt can be made to use Second Sight on any one “power” used in the vicinity of the character. The use of this sense is a reaction.

A successful result means the character senses the “power” use. The character also knows the general direction and approximate distance to either the source of the “power” or its target (whichever is closer). This power will give a general and basic idea of what sort of “power” is in use. For instance, if a nearby magician uses Right-Handed magic to cause an inn patron to fall ill, the character will sense that a magical spell was used, it was Right-Handed magic, and it apparently caused some kind of harm. However an appropriate Knowledge skill check (usually Knowledge (Magic & Arcana) at a DC of 20) will need to be made to provide a more complete and refined understanding.

Manipulate Object (Fatiguing, Maintenance): You can manipulate objects at a distance as if with a pair of invisible, intangible hands. Your power has the same Dexterity as you, while lifting the object has the same Difficulty as Move Object, except you cannot increase the weight lifted by suffering fatigue (Manipulate Object’s fatigue comes from the extra precision required).

You can use your normal skills via Manipulate Object, but you are at a –2 penalty for having to operate remotely, and you can’t perform tasks at all if you can’t see your target, since your power has no sense of touch.

Remotely Wielding Weapons: An adept can wield a weapon using Manipulate Object. Picking up the weapon is a move action. Attacking with it is a standard action. Concealment is determined by the attacker and defender’s positions, not the weapon’s, while cover is determined by the defender and weapon’s positions. The attacker makes a normal attack roll, but with a –4 penalty for the difficulty in controlling the weapon from afar, and adds his Intelligence score to the attack roll, rather than Dexterity. The weapon deals its normal damage with no modification for Strength (as if wielded by a Str 0 attacker). An adept can take the Exotic Weapon Training feat in remotely wielded weapons to eliminate the –4 penalty to hit.

A remotely wielded weapon can be struck normally by sunder attacks (see Sunder in Chapter Six). Attempts to disarm the adept by knocking the weapon out of his supernatural “grasp” are resolved by opposed attack rolls as normal or an opposed attack roll and Manipulate Object check, if the adept’s Manipulate Object bonus is greater than his attack bonus.

Time: Manipulate Object is a move action. The power use lasts for 10 rounds (1 minute).

Jynx,

For the purposes of both leveling your character, as well as making the changes you want to consider for your character, it would be best for you to revisit Step 3 of Character Creation and use the Character Creation Form for a level-by-level build-up.

Maerin laughs!

1. I will advise you...strongly...that Jynx did n0t strap Kalos to your carriage like a draft horse. Ilia would eat Jynx for enslaving another sentient being like that. :-D

Besides, you need to explain how he came to be a companion of yours, in order to "keep" him. I never said you could. Ilia was the one who built a relationship with Kalos in-game last game. Not Jynx. See note #2.

2. If you want Jayda and Jayden (and Kalos), you need to explain how you came by them, who they are, and so for, in order to have "earned" them out of game and without roleplaying. NPC companions are actually more difficult to come by than magical items, and the amount of time you had available for such endeavors is severely limited (remember, you and Ilia would have to have traveled almost straight from Phoena to Talon without pause to have arrived in the timeframe introduced at the beginning of this story).

Look at how Ilia addressed her friends for guidance. None of the three are approved for Jynx as yet.

[Jynx]

Jynx strolled through the market with Peep dozing peacefully on her shoulder. She bronzed through the vendors selling goods of silk shawls and jewelry in order to find something to match with the gown given to her by her current client. It was his wish for her to wear the purple gown to dinner that tonight and she did not want to disappoint the man who wanted to "show off" his wealth.

As she was about to decide upon a creamy peal necklace or one with rosy gems, Jynx watched from the corner of her eye as a hand came from no were and snatched a pricey ring from it's display.

Suddenly there was a yell of rage as a filthy figure in rags was thrown to the ground by the large and unattractive merchant man. It looked to be a woman with brown hair and shocking green eyes who was the culprit and as she went to get to her feet to run, the man's hand grabbed her by the collar and yanked her closer to him.

"Thief!" The merchant spat as he practically dragged her struggling form down the street in order to grab the attention of a few patrolling soldiers nearby. At that very moment Jynx caught sight of the ring as the woman stealthily tied it within a crude knot.

"I didn' steal nothin' sir! Please... Le' me go!" The girl cried as she placed her hands around the man's hand to pry at his grip away.

Putting down the necklaces, Jynx turned slowly as she stared at the scene where the merchant tried to plead his case. Her gazed was locked and she twisted her finger non-nonchalantly.

"This urchin stole from my stall! I demand that she be dealt with immediately!" He cried as he shook the woman with his strong arms at the soldiers. The both looked down with out mercy at the struggling girl.

Taking out her handkerchief Jynx cleared her throat and said loud enough so that the three men looked at her. "Excuse me Gentlemen? I believe there has been a... misunderstanding." She then showed the ring in her hand looking apologetic. It was at that moment where, Jynx saw the woman's mask fall away from her shock.

Jynx briefly looked into the woman's eyes and knew that her own sparked with with slight amusement. The woman's face quickly went blank but her eyes were locked on Jynx's every move.

The courtesan smiled with embarrassment. "I was just about to look at this ring here when that woman..." She then smiled warmly as her lie was spoken with sincerity and truth, "tried to hand me a handkerchief I dropped, bless her soul."

Jynx talked and persuaded the men a little more before the soldiers fell pray to her charms. "Besides... " she said sweetly as she turned to the now confused merchant with the same sensual smile, "I would like to make a few percusses from you good sir. Namely this lovely ring as well as that beautiful quartz necklace."

It took the large merchant a few seconds before he threw the girl down and fell back into his jolly sales man demeanor as he ushered Jynx away and back to his stall.

When Jynx looked back, the young woman was gone just as fast as she appeared.

~~~~~~~~~~

After the evening's festivities and the extra qality time she spent with her client, Jynx was in her room taking a well deserved bath. As her body relaxed in the Jasmin scented water as the candle light flickered warmly in the dark room, Jynx caught movement by the open window.

Peep, who was seated near the window, started to make angry noises and began to fly around the room in alarm.

At the sudden commotion, Jynx quickly slip out of the tub and was about to grab her silken robe when a wicked knife came out of the shadows of her wooden screen. "Don't scream or your dead. If you comply with my wishes then I will leave you unharmed." hissed a low alto voice that Jynx could not recognize although it seemed familiar.

Jynx did not let her surprise and fear show on her face or in her voice as she slowly turned to meet her captor. It looked to be a young and slight man with short and dark auburn hair that was messily stuffed under a black cap. He was dressed in all black and did not seem to have any other distinguishing traits besides his shocking green eyes.

Jynx smiled.

"Do you wish me to be with or without clothes on good sir?" Jynx asked with a hint of seduction.
She saw the man move with discomfort as a hint of a red blush appeared on his face. "You... you may dress." he mumbled.

Jynx smiled and moved to put on her light robe while at the same time trying to calm Peep down as he settled carefully on a nearby perch. "So... what may I ask, do you wish of me?" She then smiled sweetly at the man. "It wouldn't happen to involve the ring you tried to take this afternoon."
The man stiffened and Jynx batted her eyes innocently before walking over to her desk and grabbing something from her jewelry box. "I don't mean to be rude, but you have me questioning whether you are a man or a woman." She said simply as came back to him with the ring in hand.

She watched as the man's focus was directed on the ring and his calculating thoughts of trying to grab the ring and run. "I am whatever I chose to be." He said, but she noticed that his voice got a little higher as his attention was directed at the ring.

Shrugging Jynx grabbed his hand that was free and placed it into his palm as a thought came to her mind. She smiled at the shocked look of the rouge that she said slyly, "I don't need trinket like this, but it sounds to me that a WOMAN such as you has quite the story behind her as well as this piece of Jewelry."
The figure looked up sharply, "How did you know."

Jynx paused as the smiled stayed across her lips, "You just told me. You should remember to alway stay in character even when you are found out. Keeping doubt in ones mind might end up saving you in the end." She then motioned to the bed, "Come, tell me of your tale and I think we might be able to help one another."
It was at this time Jynx was told of the plight of Young Jayda and her family.

Her father was the spy master to the local lord. He was a true rogue who save the life and was later befriended by the lord's father who gave him the position of spy master. He was later married to a beautiful woman and the ring was her wedding band. He was the father of twins, a boy and girl, who looked strikingly alike.

They were a happy family and her father taught her brother Jayden as well as herself his craft of disguise, thieving, spy work as well as using a knife, bow and how to ride a horse.

Everything was perfect... that is, until a scandal came out that accused her father for being a double spy to those that worked for the darklords. Her family was torn apart. Her mother and father sentence to death while she and her brother found themselves on the run.

Jayda then told Jynx of her brother's death. How she tried to find medication for him from the vendors at market without being caught by posing as a young urchent child or a poor beggar man or woman.

It was then that she found her mother's ring at one of the stalls. Somehow it found it's way back into the hands of some greedy merchant. When she went back to where her brother was to tell him of what she saw, she found that he had died while she was away.

She had nothing, no home and no family... but, there was the ring.

Jynx listened patiently before asking a few questions about her skills at disguise, spy work and self defense.... as well as if she could drive a carriage.

Being satisfied with her answers, Jynx then smiled and stood up. "Well then Jayda. I would like to offer you a job as my bodyguard. I travel a lot and I will make sure you are well compensated." She then went into her chest and pulled from within it's depths a maids outfit. For the time being you will have to wear this as well as this wig." She also handed her a blond wavy handful of hair. "Your first payment will be that ring you hold in your hand. I'm not much of a family, but I will be able to protect you from those who wish for your death."

Jayda thought about the offer for a while, but in the end excepted her offer.

- No Kalos and no Jayden
- Side note, Jayda's looks are Androgynous.

Nicely written, Jynx. But Jayda is not approved. You left out a fairly key requirement I asked of you, and the scenario you paint is basically impossible for the conditions surrounding that requirement. Were this a new character, or this had been the backstory for a "minion" from the previous game (like Geet), it would probably be alright. But it does not apparently work for the here and now.

As a side note as well, no you cannot incorporate Peep into your story. Nor any other of Ilia's friends, for that matter. They aren't Ilia's pets, nor are they tame. Not even a direct request by Ilia would see them behave otherwise. And Jynx has no abilities herself to befriend them.

Aside from that, your character sheet should be finalized here and now, with all the changes you made to Jynx up through level 13.
