2024 Character Creation Challenge: Mork Borg

Mork Borg is a post-apocalyptic fantasy tabletop RPG inspired by heavy metal music like Domkraft, Bongzilla, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard and Tiamat. Its thriving fan community makes a lot of fan content like character classes, adventures setting, etc.

One day all will blacken and burn. Just as the Two-Headed Basilisks have predicted.
The world is dying, time is short. How will you face these last days? Robbing graves for soil-stained wealth, or facing down the apocalypse, hoping it can be fought?

Its rule is simple enough to fit into an A4 size paper. The description and art are very evocative. For example, this's one of the occuklt treasure you may get during an adventure.

Silver bird cage: slays whatever is placed behind its bars, slowly, over one long night. That which is killed reanimates twice as strong, as a raging uncontrollable undead.

My character: Graft the Wretched Royalty

Graft

Class: Wretched Royalty
HP: 5/5
Omens: 2 (d2)

You are Graft

Things were going so well, until two young princes were kidnapped west of Bergen Chrypt and disappeared into the black crevasse of the eastern slopes.

Bowed down only by the memories of your own lost glory, you could never submit to anyone else. Not you, of noble blood! (Not that you expect any of these peons to understand the depths of your sorrow.)
Ruthless and prone to substance abuse. Hauntingly beautiful, unnervingly clean. You whistle while trying to hide. You will deny this. Whistle when 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 is rolled on a d20.

Wretched Royalty

The Blade of your Ancestors

This magnificent and clearly magical talking sword is foppish, unreliable and quietly despises you. It taunts your failures and, if continually disappointed, develops a 1 in 6 chance to ‘accidentally' attack you or your companions. Deals d6+1 damage. Attack/Defence DR is 10.

"Poltroon" the Court Jester

While practically useless, personally irritating and an emotional drain, Poltroon's capering actually makes enemies lose their focus in combat. For the first two rounds you and your allies get +2 on attack/defence.
