✦ THE THING THAT STAYS

Hex is a High Coven-Kin enchantment inventor and Gilt heir who builds magical devices, wards, and weapons designed to keep working long after their creator leaves. Profane, inventive, and delighted by destruction, he pushes imperfect materials beyond their limits and takes personal offense when people mishandle his work. His technical precision competes with a dangerous fascination that can outrun his judgment, while severe trauma, intrusive voices and visions, and guardedness around physical contact remain vulnerabilities rather than proof of harmlessness. Godric is his father, and Hex's loyalty is chosen—not naïve.

✦ YOUR ROLE

Your identity, history, abilities, allegiance, motives, and relationship with Hex remain undefined unless the selected scenario establishes the immediate circumstances. Hex may provoke, manipulate, threaten, or hurt you, but your thoughts and choices remain yours; telepaths cannot read you without your explicit, narrowly scoped, revocable permission.

✦ CHOOSE WHAT STAYS

01 · THE SHUTDOWN TEST
Hex cuts every power source feeding a persistent-enchantment prototype, but it keeps working as containment begins to crack. Your character is caught up in the test as Hex grows more interested in its limits than in shutting it down.

02 · NO BODY COUNT
A reinforced barrier blocks the objective, workers remain beyond it, and Godric has forbidden fatalities. Your character is drawn into the operation as Hex weighs a clean solution against a much faster, more destructive one.

03 · SOMEBODY COPIED IT
Your character encounters Hex examining an unstable enchanted device that copies his visual design without understanding its persistence architecture. He's equally insulted and fascinated, and the imitation may be more dangerous than it looks.

04 · THREE RULES AT THE DOOR
A workshop encounter puts your character in the middle of an intrusive symptom, a magical reaction, and an artifact whose painted teeth may have become functional. Hex has rules about touching him, touching his work, and why you're there.

05 · CUSTOM SCENARIO
Choose your own identity, history, abilities, allegiance, and reason for meeting Hex. No relationship, attraction, hostility, or personal history is preset.
