Powers

• Detect Arcana (3 ISP /3 rds +1/1rnd): Were-jaguars sometimes use psionically augmented senses, scent in this case, to hunt for their prey. It also triggers their hunting instincts, granting them 2 to Pace (on a success) and on a raise increase Agility by one die type for the duration of the power. Increase the power's cost by 1 ISP.
• Conceal Arcana (2ISP/3rds +1/1 hr conceal): In addition to the normal effects, psionically concealing her arcane power allows Vela to absorb the her own sound, so Stealth is increased a die type, but she has to yell to be heard normally and speaking becomes a normal action instead of a free one.
• Emboldening Smite (2ISP/3rnds +1/rnd): Vitality and primal fury infuses Vela's psychic ability. Smite grants +2 damage to an attack. On a raise the bonus is +4. Additionally, if she uses it on another, it will shock a target out of their distraction on a raise, providing an immediate free roll to recover from being Shaken.
• Deflection: 2ISP/3rnds +1/rnd; All attacks targeting subject are at -2 to hit, or -4 with raise; acts as Armor vs area effects. Smell of the earth: By attuning herself to her environment, and smearing earth, dust, or dirt on her face, Vela becomes hyper aware of her environment. All attacks targeting subject are at -2 to hit, or -4 with raise. And it acts as Armor vs area effects. Additionally, undead find her even harder to hit, and take an additional -1 to hit her.

Touch of Fate

looks good. But where are your AB powers?

Hm. Weird. Tried posting here as Vela, but it seems the post didn't take even though it looked like it did.

I have made an account for Vela though.

And the AB powers are on the sheet, right after the racial breakdown.

it took, I changed poster above

I see the powers. Please include a blurb on what each power looks like when it is activated.

Blurb added.

Nice they look fun

Background

Most werejaguars are found far to the south, in the jungles where old Mexico blended into Central America; the rainforests surrounding the strange, ghostly Yucatan. However, long ago a tribe came north on a relentless hunt for new territories and new prey. They sought a new place, where they could spread out without having to compete with older, more entrenched territories. The vampire lands were smaller then, and the werejaguars were able to thread between them and find their new land.

Unfortunately, the expansion of Ixzotz and Muluc made contact with their kin impossible, and the forests of southern Mexico thinned into deserts, and the werejaguars found themselves pinned between an ancient foe and implacable terrain. They were forced to dig in and band together...both with each other and with the local human communities nearby.

Even then though, the danger was great. The Vampire Kingdoms grew a little each day, and sooner or later they would notice the werejaguars and muster the resources to move against them in force.

Young hunters, who hadn't yet taken territories for themselves, were sent northward...into the inhospitable deserts and plains of northern Mexico. Traders had told of rich and fertile lands beyond...maybe there was yet a home to be made, far from the threat of vampires. Taking and holding territory now would give the tribe a foothold, and routes scouted now would ensure they did not get lost and die of thirst in the passage.

Vela is one of those young werejaguars seeking a place for herself and for her people north of the great desert, in this new land of unknown opportunities. Of the generation born after settling near human communities, Vela is much more comfortable with humans and other races than many of the older werejaguars. She still has a strong streak of a cub's curiosity of the world, driving her to volunteer to explore the world, even if it means leaving her beloved trees and jungles behind.

And of course, if she gets a chance to kill a lot of vampires, that's just icing on the cake.
