Page 111 in the book as an example of your items a zealot might have. Specifically they mention: ceremonial dagger, unholy symbol, vestments, simple sickle, scripture, golden bell, blessed wine, box of incense, quill & parchment, torture tools, anointing oil, and wax candles. Basically notably things that you think your character would have that is useful. Perhaps she wears a perfume that's makes humans intoxicated around her. Or maybe she wears a very seductive nun outfit that does the same. Perhaps her holy symbol looks like one for a god of light, but is actually one for your dark god and also a knife.
Your defense comes from said items. For example if you ever flub a roll to talk someone into falling for your lies, perhaps you have an item that protects you from that failure in a way that makes sense. Using the previously mentioned example, you have that intoxicating perfume. You try talking to an adventurer to trick him into thinking you're an innocent woman kidnapped by monsters but he see's through your lies. You can then invoke your defensive item i.e. the perfume and say something like it's scent makes the adventurer forget his doubts and thinks you're telling the truth, this time at least.
That's just an example of course. Page 53 has more specific information about what defenses are so you could pick and choose your defense from there. You just need to make sure you have an item that could facilitate that defense happening. Specific examples of defenses are the following: minion mistakes, detection, magic, being caught lying, wounds, enemy movement, or containment. Though I imagine that you can choose based off your abilities as well. Dark Cloud for example is going to have a Defense due to his naturally small size that gives him a better chance of defending himself against ranged attacks.
I got my OC, is this acceptable? is there anything I should tweak? :)
@VeyrinDay I like it I just don't like calling her Pansy. "The Black Flower" maybe? Rose, Lotus...?
I dig her though. It's different than Zatana or Fate. Come up with a different codename and she's accepted. I look forward to her interactions with our very Hellboy-ish Frankenstein.

Working the last bit of the OOC into a document, then I'll get it posted in a bit! Can't wait to get into the IC tomorrow!
