Traits:
- Small, Herbivore (+Piscavore), Light Sensitivity, Low-light vision, Aquatic Vision
- Natural Athlete: Usajin gain 1 free rank in Acrobatics and Athletics, though this rank is ignored for determining cost.
- Strong Frame: Usajin do not take a disadvantage for being smaller when making opposed brawling checks.
- Shadow Affinity: Mamouninga that take Magic as a skill automatically gain 1 free rank in Shadow Arts (specialization), though this rank is ignored for determining cost.
Stress:
I am not a mutt! (stress): Bringing his heritage into question tends to rub Swortega the wrong way, easily aggravating him even if meant in jest. He takes 1 point of stress whenever this is brought up, though only once per scene. If this stressor is brought up intentionally to jab at him, however, he takes an additional 1d4 points of stress.
Explosion: (VIOLENCE!) - Sometimes, when it gets too rough and you just can't control anything, you have to let loose, right? Swortega follows this idea and takes out his anger on his surroundings, preferring inanimate objects, but if the source of his stress isn't someone he cares about, they're fair game for being punched out. If combat while this explosion is active, Swortega takes a -4 penalty to his defense, and gains +2 to damage.
Relief: (Activity) - What does your character do to calm down? Before stress gets the better of her, how does she take care of it? This can be related to her explosion, or to her stress (generally being the opposite), or, more often, it can be related to her backstory, and things she enjoys.

Special Abilities:
Now you see me... rank 1
Swortega may spend 2 stamina to attempt to stealth while in combat, though he must move to make the attempt. This ability uses the same allotment as his attacks for the round. In addition, he may use his skill in Shadow Arts as a specialization for his stealth ability at all times.
Pulling down the beast: rank 1
Swortega does not lose advantage when brawling against larger foes, and if he deals a wound in a combat round, he may make a free attempt to hinder the foe, granting advantage to himself and allies until the affected creature clears the condition.
