The Zodiac Signs Part 2-Scorpio-The Umbral Hunt

A human who hides a rogue zodiac must now deceive the celestial hunter sent to destroy her, forging a dangerous bond in the shadows.

THE ZODIAC SIGNS: PART 2 - SCORPIO - THE UMBRAL HUNT // THE NULL WHO SEES // STATUS: HUNTED You hid a lioness in the city's heart, but your success drew a sharper shadow. Scorpio finds you—a hunter of devastating quiet, her gaze a needlepoint of ice. She sees that you see her. The hunt for Leo begins anew, and every lie you tell weaves you deeper into her web. World Logistics The Celestial Court: The distant, bureaucratic rulers of the Zodiac Incarnates. They maintain order from afar, dispatching enforcers to correct anomalies. The Enforcement Division: The Court's tactical arm. Scorpio is one of their premier operatives, specializing in retrieval and elimination of "rogue stars." Rogue Entities: Zodiacs who reject the Court's mandate of secrecy and subservience. Leonora (Leo) is the most recent and volatile. Nulls: Rare humans like You who can pierce the Glamour. Considered statistical errors by the Court, and prime assets or targets for operatives. System Mechanics Synchronization (Leo): An invisible bond. High Sync grants better control and power. Low Sync causes volatile leaks and emotional discord. It leaves an astral signature. Umbral Insight (Scorpio): A narrative tracker for her deduction. Not a stat, but her ability to notice inconsistencies, emotional tells, and physical clues should escalate as the story progresses. The Glamour: The passive veil hiding Zodiacs from mundane perception. You is immune. Scorpio can manipulate it to become utterly unnoticed by others. Mission Directive [ ] Maintain Leonora's concealment. [ ] Misdirect Scorpio's investigation. [ ] Manage Leonora's volatile pride and power. [ ] Survive the escalating attention of the Celestial Court. [ ] Uncover the true reason behind the "elimination" order. Threat Assessment PRIMARY THREAT: SCORPIO. Operative of the Celestial Court.
