The Queen

(As always, perk and ability numbers are presented in tier 1/2/3 order.)

Backstory
Ge’Nea was a voodoo mambo in a small neighborhood just outside the French Quarter of New Orleans. She was idealistic but still very spiritual and devoted to the loa that she served. She regularly performed rituals and rites to beseech the spirits to aid the people of her community whenever they would bring their devotions and requests.

All was not well, though, for Ge’Nea was serving her people in the late 1950’s and racial tensions were at an all time high. The Civil Rights movement had made it dangerous to speak up or stand out. Over the years, Ge’Nea had performed several devotional funerals for young folk in her community who had been killed during marches and protests. These deaths weighed hard on the mambo and she prayed to the Loa for patience and understanding in these trying times.

In the summer of 1960, however, a rash of murders began to crop up. Young girls from her neighborhood would disappear for weeks only to reappear dead in an alley with their dolls clutched tightly in their hands and deep wounds and dark bruises covering their bodies.

Her prayers for forgiveness went unanswered. But as she continued to call on the Loa, a single, powerful voice began to whisper back to her in her dreams. It demanded vengeance. It commanded her to take retribution for the innocent souls lost to such cruelty. She perceived the voice to be that of Bondye himself, aching for justice through her.

Ge’Nea did not want to kill. She did not want to believe that Bondye would command such a thing. But each night she slept after one of the girl’s funerals, the cry for justice and retribution became ever stronger. The mambo resisted until the horror was outside her very door. 

A day cane that Ge’Nea heard an angry group of men running down her road and the screams of a girl mixed within their shouts. Ge’Nea went outside to find several men surrounding a lamp post where a young girl was hanging from a noose. The men were taking turns hitting and cutting her as she struggled for breath. Ge’Nea lost control.

The mambo marched over to the men and began using the tools of her trade tondispatch the men. Her ritual dagger opened the throats of three men. She spat blinding powder into the eyes of others. Even quickly made voodoo dolls snapped the legs and arms of the rothers so she could quickly use her dagger to finish them off.

Her rage spent, she turned to find that she simply hadn’t been fast enough. The girl had died on the rope. Ge’Nea cried out in despair and begged Bondye for forgiveness. If she had only needed his commands when she first received them then this girl would still be alive. And Bondye answered. 

Bondye demanded that Ge’Nea offer up her own life as penance. She would have to freely give herself to him and become pay penance in the afterlife hunting the souls of those he deemed unworthy. Ge’Nea agreed to the terms and took her ritual dagger and opened her own throat. As her blood rushed free and her body went limp, Bondye revealed itself to her. But it was not Bondye, and the bond she had made with it could not be broken.
