Notes for Use in Play:
Alyssa works best as a support caster with occasional magical offense. She can read arcane signs, translate ancient spells, and stand her ground in a fight if needed—but she’s not built like a full combat hero. She shines in scenes involving supernatural threats, mystical diplomacy, or emotional character moments involving Shadowman.

Background:

Little is know about Alyssa Myles’ origin apart from that she has trained for years with Dox in order to prepare for the coming of the next Shadowman. The Abettors are charged with protecting the host of the Shadowman loa, or “neutralizing” the host if he is unable to control it. In a battle between Shadowman and his ancient foe, Master Darque, Dox is killed. Alyssa is then charged by both the Abettors and by Dox’s ghost to kill Jack Boniface, the Shadowman. With the recognition that Boniface does not completely control the loa also comes the realization that she is slowly developing romantic feelings for Jack. She sends Boniface to Punk Mambo in the hopes that “the Rite of Separation” will rend the Shadowman loa from Jack and satisfy both the Abettors and Dox’s ghost. The rite fails, but Alyssa continues to believe in redemption for Boniface. The two have been separated numerous times but always seem to find their way back to one another.
