Shinobiverse Reliquary

This page is a list of the many relics found in the Shinobiverse.

The Relic Merit represents ownership of a Relic, a supernatural item of power that does not work on the systems of awakened magic or any other supernatural creature's template (fetishes, mementoes, etc). They are simply mysterious items with wondrous and miraculous powers. Such items are very rare and coveted; owning such an item will usually put one squarely in the sights of many interested parties and predators.

However, many conspiracies will have access to such items, and sometimes even allow their agents to keep them. Others are able to mass produce relics through various mysterious and unusual means. They are presented here.

Oplan: Shinobi
Oplan: Shinobi provides relics to key agents during important missions, even contractuals (non-members), though they will usually ask them to return such items at the end of the mission if they have not been consumed. Members of the faction are able to keep some of these items long-term if they go up the ranks (represented by status), though it will only usually be lesser relics of (*) and (**) rarity. The rarer relics they employ are usually heritage items belonging to the Philippine National Commission for History and Culture and they will expect those items returned promptly... if they ever allow them to leave their catalogues for even the shortest of moments.

Simouns (*)
Blue crystal glasses that allow the wearer to see auras, even through obstructions of up to 10cm thick. However, the user needs to understand how auras work and how to identify them to make full use of these glasses. These are one of the mass-produced relics utilized by Oplan Shinobi, which they will usually grant to their new agents.

Albularyo's Kerchief (*)
A cloth inscribed with mystic symbols of both oriental and western origin. This cloth is an interface that allows the user to touch spirits and ghosts in twilight. Wrapped around the knuckles, it can be used to turn one's fist into a spiritual weapon.

Explosive Tag (*)
A shinobi tool that works as a mystic timed explosive. It requires blood to activate, which ignites the corner of the tag. When the flame reaches the gunpowder-infused ink, the tag explodes. The tag deals 15d10 lethal damage to all in the range band; even affecting spirits in twilight due to its supernatural construction. It will also explode if exposed to open flames. It should be noted that it reacts to jutsu such as Ghost Hand, immediately triggering without the need for blood.

Anting-Anting - Bullet Ward (**)
Wearing this amulet on you gives you a supernatural 1/1 (reduce lethal and bashing by one) armor against projectiles. However, the amulet itself is not bullet proof.

Doomed Revolvers (***)
Collected revolvers owned by katipunero officers from the end of the Spanish Colonization and the Filipino-American War, all said to have been made by the same gunsmith. Bullets fired from these pistols have a spiritual component to them, affecting items and creatures in twilight. In addition, wounds inflicted by these pistols are resistant to healing both supernatural and modern; they can only heal over time.

Drawback : They're haunted. You better hope the ghost is nice.

Faithful Kampilan (*****)
Purported to be the actual sword of mythic Ilocano hero, Lam-ang. Though the specifics on its properties were glossed over, it is said to be effective on beings from other dimensions. Its blade is covered in rice cake for some reason.
