Perseverance is one of the hallmarks of the epic hero. She endures hardship beyond mortal limits in order to overcome the challenges arrayed against her. Scions who espouse this Virtue embrace this stoic ideal, taking strength from the suffering they must endure. Instead of wasting time and energy trying to avoid any form of hardship, they grit their teeth and accept what comes. The blows of Fate and foe harden them like hammered iron.
Characters use Perseverance to: resist fear, survive extended bouts of hard physical labor, function for days without rest, endure pain, hunger, thirst and fatigue A failed Perseverance roll allows a character to: fail to act because of risk to life or limb, attempt to rest or relax during a time of crisis, avoid a course of action due to injuries, fatigue or lack of resources
Virtue Extremity: Self-Destruction. The Avatar is so horrified at her own weakness that she attempts to purge it through acts of extreme self-punishment, pursuing her goals without regard to personal health, safety or survival. Self-Destruction lasts for one full day.
