Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Stats & Descriptions Name - Golan Trevize Race - Human Age - 19 Affiliations - Peacekeepers + Mages Appearance & Apparel - Golan looks something like this, but he's wearing a T-shirt that says "I survived the Mine" signed by Makeda, the Merc Merchant. Personality & Background - Golan was raised in Epicrin as the only child of his loving parents, until a few years ago they were killed during the (TBD) war/invasion/conflict. In the chaos that followed, and with no means of supporting himself, Golan turned to petty theft to survive. Chief Enforcer Orin found Golan, fed him, clothed him, and trained him to be a Peacekeeper.
Skills/Weaknesses Mantle - Your attunement to fire magics passively alters your body, stoking your inner fire and turning you into an embodiment of molten heat. Through concentration you can. if necessary, cause these changes to demanifest temporarily, though doing so drains your focus and ability to use spells. Lvl 1. Your skin is ruddy and feverish. You quickly burn away poisons and potions. Lvl 2. Your irises gain a flickering red glow. You are able to shift your perception to see heat. Lvl 3. Your veins glow orange beneath your skin. Your touch is so hot it is painful for others to touch you. Lvl 4. Your gaze causes a target to become warm and uncomfortably flush or feverish. This acts as an intimidation effect. This intimidation effect increases with your Mantle level.
Lvl 5. Wounds inflicted on you cauterize themselves. Lvl 6. Your skin bakes and tans, becoming as tough as leather. Your breath becomes steam, your bodily fluids boiling hot. Lvl 7. You can inhale nonmagical fire to boost the power of your next fire spell. Lvl 8. Your hair catches fire but does not burn away. You can breath fire up to three feet. Your nails glow red hot. Lvl 9. Your gaze can rapidly raise the temperature of what you look at in a precise spot. Moving objects are harder to heat precisely. Requires focus, costing you a spell. Lvl 10. You learn to harness attunement for a custom ability based on your personality and fire.
Spells Fire 1. Ignite - Snap your finger to cause a very small intense burst of heat in a spot you are looking at. Can be used to start a small fire if used on highly flammable materials 2. Fireball - Summon into your hand a semi-solid ball of flame that does not burn you and can be thrown. On impact it hits with the consistency of water. 3. Fire-Axe - Summon to your hand a throwing axe of solid flame.(Learned via the Legacy Journal) 3. Smokescreen - Burn a 7' diameter cloud of clinging smoke and choking ash into the air at a location within your sight. 4. Boil - Instantaneously turn up to ten gallons of water into expanding steam.
Spells I plan to buy, for my own remindering: 2. Snuff - Disrupt an existing non-magical flame. Can extinguish smaller fires and slow the burning of larger ones. 5. Unchained Heat - Channel your fire magics into any object that is looped, locked, tied or wrapped around you until they burn away, melt or break. Magical items will begin to mend as soon as you are free. 6A. Flamethrow - Release from one of your hands or your mouth a jet of fire, reaching out a maximum of 5'. 7A. Jet - Release explosive bursts of flame from your feet, launching yourself in whatever direction you aim your feet. You may extend this effect to your hands as well for sustained, stable flight.
Not Fire Lvl 1. Lantern - Create a floating ball of light before yourself or another that moves with the target, glowing with the intensity of a candle. (Learned via the Legacy Journal) Lvl 3. Splint - Magical force reinforces your limbs, neck, and head, preventing them from moving in ways or suddenly moving at speeds that would be damaging, guarding against limb-breaks, joint dislocations or concussions. Can also be used to help hold already broken or injured body parts in place to allow movement.(Learned via the Legacy Journal) Unlvl. Revoke - An artless spell taught only to those mages who dedicate themselves to the path of order. Allows the Arbiter to dispel and negate any spell whose level is less than the highest level spell they know. That spell cannot be cast until after your next post. The same spell cannot be revoked twice in one encounter.
Weapons PyreStar – A Stone Morningstar that can be willed to create a fiery, ghostly copy of its ball 5’ away that mimics the original’s movements. Despite its ghostly appearance the ball hits with the same amount of force as the Morningstar itself.
Non-Weapon Items
A Flask with an inscription on it Legacy journal - Contains the spells: Fire Axe, Splint, and Lantern Bloodied Coin - A gold coin stained with the blood of Deathcloak, proof of their role in bringing him down. Grants the wearer a Legend Point. Nontransferable.
Epic World! Because seriously! It's the awesome!
And don't forget to do your shopping at The Newe Haberdashery, the finest vendor of magic items and oddball services ... Ever!
Wow, thank you for being so excited. I'm glad I could help.
New players can keep in mind that golan started with an LSS, a sword, a flask, and paid 25 Gold to join the Peacekeepers. This is a little underpowered. You can start with those things, and a useful skill like Enchanting, or make up your own stuff and use those in place of an LSS. Also, remember to wait for a moderator to approve your character before you start posting with him/her.
Also, when EW is open you will see posts from moderators on this thread saying things like "Your character is approved" and "Bluemage, you're an idiot".

Stats & Facts Name - Kherren Titles - 'The Mountain' Race - Garr Age - 28 Height - 8'10 Weight - 320lbs Appearance - Kherren is a tall and broad garr, with especially pronounced facial ridges. His deep brown eyes sit in the middle of a face that rarely changes from its discontent half frown. His hair is moderately short and allowed to fall back and to the side naturally. Apparel - Kherren's attire is simple, an uncomfortable looking leather cuirass over a soft hide jerkin, and hide pants. Both splattered with mud and blood and both sporting signs of continuous wear. Around his waste, tied in a loose knot is a length of iron chain. Kherren refuses to wear gloves or shoes at any time. Background - Kherren is a member of the Torga-leen tribe, venturing away from his homelands to prove himself stronger than his brotherhood. Getting any more of his history out of him will take some convincing. Affiliations - Warrior's Brotherhood Strength - Overall (Mighty), Stone-Shatterer/Legs (Prodigious)
Overall Striking Downward (Prodigious), Stone-Shatterer/Legs Striking Downward (Superhuman) Job - Allies - Torga-Leen Garr Enemies - Accomplishments
Skills and Abilities Born of the Earth - Kherren is a member of the garrish race, and as such, is stronger and tougher than most men, possessing a strength level of Very Strong. His stone skin makes him resistant to being cut or burned. In addition to this, Kherren is a very patient and determined individual. He is also, due in part to this, a very good fighter. Mountain's Mark - A ruddy red marking wrapped around Kherren's right wrist, formed from the old garrish runes for 'mountain' and 'patience' interwoven to form a knot like pattern. The ink for this tattoo was distilled from the tentacle of an ancient horror, imbuing it and by extension Kherren with a touch of destruction magic.
>Stone-Shatterer - Hard blows landed by the tattooed arm can shatter and pulverize stone in a large area around the point of impact. The resulting rubble flows around the arm forming a much larger replica of the arm formed of jagged shattered stone and held together by crimson glowing energy. This arm gains an additional strength level and knockback effect.
>Will-Shatterer - The longer during a battle your opponent goes without landing a blow on you, the more they afflicted by an increasing incite effect and become more reckless and frantic with their attacks. The Mountain's Peak - Kherren believes himself, and likely other members of the garrish race, have the potential to become even greater examples of their people than they already are. He is a natural monolith, resilient and unstoppable.
>Level 1: Kherren cannot be stunned or knocked unconscious by head trauma.
>Level 2: Kherren's eyes have the appearance of emeralds. He can sense ground-based movements around him through vibrations in the ground.
>Level 3: Kherren's base strength level increases by one.
>Level 4: Kherren's hair and nails are now razor sharp and metallic.
>Level 5: Kherren's bones become metal and much harder to break, as well as channeling electricity harmlessly through him.
>Level 6: The body's rigidity prevents outside forces from influencing it. Kherren gains immunity to outside magics that would alter his body and his connection to the earth means he cannot be moved against his will.
>Level 7: Kherren grows a foot taller, towering high above most men.
>Level 8: Kherren can vein his arms in lutharin crystal, charged with the art of your choice, strengthening them and granting them the imbue effect of that crystal. Can only be done three times per encounter. For every post he maintains this effect, he must wait that long before its next use, maximum of five posts per use. Crystal type chosen upon reaching this level.
>Level 9: Twice per encounter Kherren can root himself to the ground and turn into a true monolith of immobile, unmovable, indestructible stone, completely aware but incapable of movement. Can only last for three posts.
>Level 10: Kherren learn to harness his attunement for a custom ability based on his personality and earth. Warrior of the Earth - A series of techniques taught by the Warrior's Brotherhood of Bakara, characterised by techniques that allow for grappling and beating down foes. [332 BP]
>Level 1: You learn to be unmovable so long as both your feet are planted firmly on the ground.
>Level 2: You gain a strength level exclusively in your legs.
>Level 3: You learn to immediately and protectively roll your feet when landing or while on the ground.
>Level 4: You learn how to perform tripping and hip tossing maneuvers while grappling your opponents to take them to the ground.
>Level 5: You gain an effective level of strength while executing downwards strikes.
>Level 6: You master the technique of sweeping your opponent's legs out from under them, leg sweeps and trips are harder for your opponents to dodge or disrupt.
>Level 7: You become impossible to knock unconscious with blows to the head while learning the correct technique for performing devastating headbutts.
>Level 8: The higher you tower above your opponent, the more your very presence is both intimidating and dazing.
>Level 9: Your shoves, pulls and grapples gain an additional effective level of strength so long as you remain mostly stationary.
>Level 10: You are a master of beating down your enemies, each impact from fist or foot induces a sense of increasing vertigo. You are able to effortlessly incorporate shoving, pulling or tripping into your attacks.
Spells and Magics Earth
>Level 1: Align - Focus on the iron in your body to find magnetic north.
>Level 2: Ferropathy - While maintained, you gain an awareness of metals within 10' of you and their movements.
>Level 2: Dirty Trick - With a sharp upwards gesture, cause dirt, dust and soil to fly up off the ground at a target's face.
Weapons The Grass-Cutting Blade - A beautiful two-handed scimitar with curious green patterns forged into the blade. Several exotic-looking charms dangle from the grip by a cord, creating a curious chiming sound. Due to its unique properties, any enchantment may be placed on this weapon for a 25% reduced fee. Modifier 5.
>Gains the following special effect based on the Kherren's Warrior's Technique.
>Cow the Weak - Twice per encounter, Kherren may draw the full might of his brutal training into the Grass Cutting Blade to deal a terrible crushing blow to an opponent, a blow that utterly shatters any strength they may have left. This attack leaves its target Weak for three posts. Grounded - An eight foot length of chain composed of heavy, impossibly dense black iron, each link a subtly different shape. The ends can fuse together at Kherren’s will, allowing him to use the chain to easily bind things.
>Defeated - If whatever is bound by the chain struggles or tries to break free, the chains will grow progressively tighter; slowly at first, but faster and faster until whoever or whatever is bound will be crushed inside them.
Non-Weapon Items - Armour and Accessories Master's Flesh - A cuirass of strange, steel-strength leather, covered in a silver filigree. Strangely uncomfortable to look at. Can merge to the wearer’s body at will, leaving its silver tracing embedded into the skin.
>Uncomfortable - While merged into their flesh, the wearer gains a double Intimidation effect.
>Unstoppable - When absorbed, can spread over the wearer’s entire body, covering them in silver filigree. They gain the equivalent of levels 1-4 of Adonis, though prolonged use is profoundly tiring and can be deadly in extreme length. Mask of the Paragon - A bone and ebony guy fawkes mask, that once per encounter can be worn to grant the wearer the power of an Adonis for seven posts. This increases their strength level and allows them to control the sensations created by their touch.
Non-Weapon Items - Miscellaneous Imperfect Shard - A shard of orange metal, remnants of the partially forged chestplate Deathcloak was creating upon their entrance, now shattered. No where near as powerful as Deathcloak's armor, it is modifier 2, has an amplifying and truehearting effect on enchantments, and items formed from it repair much more rapidly. Shards are at their longest 1' long and 3" wide as their widest end.
Worn Notebook - A leather bound notebook that looks like it's barely staying together.
>Secrets of the Pit - The words are foreign to any who have not reached level ten in a warrior technique, but once you do it calls out to you. You may choose to gain knowledge of a combat based LSS prismed to the art of your current technique. (This is leveled normally). Strength Orb - A glassy orb filled with a pulsating peach colored light. When crushed in a person's hand they feel their strength being increased by a level for the rest of the encounter. Can be used in conjunction with Strengthen or Empower but not both.
Pets and Servants Whaghren - A variant of wurm known to some as a landshark, this infant beast is loyal to Kherren. Its natural home is under the earth and Kherren's link to the earth resonates with it. The beast is 4 foot long and just over a foot wide, with a dangerous maw full of sharp teeth. Its steel strength skin is rough and vibrates in a manner that allows it to practically swim through the earth as it burrows effortlessly. It can sense vibration through the earth, allowing it to see despite the lack of illumination underground.
From Blank to Blank—
………..A Threadless Way
I pushed Mechanic feet—
To stop—or perish—or advance—
Alike indifferent—
If end I gained
It ends beyond
Indefinite disclosed—
I shut my eyes—and groped as well
‘Twas lighter—to be Blind——
Emily Dickinson, poem 761
Stats & Facts Name: Celia Alexandriane Daedalea Justine Le Borges-Tertius Titles/Aliases/Nicknames: Sex: Female Race: Human (Elexian)--resides in Epicrin Age/Height/Weight: 26/5'4"/96 lbs. Appearance: Bespecaled and bookish; a scholarly demeanor that tends to hide her girlish charm. Eyes that are cool pools of blue-green like the serene waters of the Elexian Sea. Pale from too much time spent indoors--mostly in libraries or the dusty halls of a storage dungeon--her skin tone is dream-like, enchanting as freshly fallen snow. A scent of rose water follows her everywhere, a result of an overindulgence in bubble baths. An absolutely elaborate coiffure of mahogany hair, tied into a top bun; two flounces of bangs falling to either side of her forehead. Apparel: A very rare silver pair of pence-nez, C-bridged reading glasses with half moon frames that Celia absolutely adores; she never goes without them. Always in some different shade of blue, she has a plethora of mage robes, some of thick wool, fine wool, and finer silks. Currently: A deep royal blue robe of silk chiffon, belted with a silver cord. The sleeves flow magnificently, strewn about with starry constellations of the night sky in Autumn. Her foot wear are an extremely comfortable pair of dark leather moccasins, good for travel. Background: An Elexian noble. Celia is from an old merchant family with heavy political ties that has recently fallen to near extinction. Beloved by her father, she was his world, her Sylvan mother having died of a consuming illness soon after giving birth. Accompanying him on his affairs of state and other ventures, she learnt at his side. Always a quick mind, her childhood was spent much of the time in the presence of adults. So when she became a teenager she was already well versed in political intrigue and counter-intrigue, coupled with a sharp mind for seeing between the lines. Unexpectedly, and to her horror, one day her father was murdered, and it would be her who discovered his body. The work of some assassination plot, the homicide would go unsolved, and young Celia was left alone with guardians who cared little for her. Luckily, she found solace in reading, and proceeded to bury herself in academics and magical study, all the while looking into her father's murder. Shortly before receiving a full scholarship for study with the Mages in Greevan, and leaving Elexia for what would turn out to be for good, Celia had worked out the details and those responsible for the assassination. On her last night in Elexia, a whole estate belonging to a top official in the government burned to the ground, none survived the fire. The next morning Celia was on her way to Epicrin to start her studies; she was 18 years old. Affiliations: Mage
Skills/Attributes Hey! I Am A Girl, Ya Know?
Though quirky, with her head always buried in some tome or other, and a particular rapid-fire way of speaking over you, as well as herself, her errant thoughts floating to the surface like detritus, Celia is still somehow completely charming. She is naturally more charismatic than an average person. The Mage As Thinker: She Unnames Them (Awakening)
What we are, that only can we see: Widely considered the most individual thinker and one of the best minds of magical learning to appear in the modern Eastern World. Celia possesses a consciousness bereft of all passivity: it is always, incessantly active. She must reconceptualize everything she learns for herself, at once and immediately. Perhaps cursed with a heightened sensibility, “The ruin or blank that we see in nature is in our own eye,” in a world ripe with magic and the possibility of untold omnipotence, she is all too aware of the passing of things, and their ephemeral existence—and this arbitrary and hypocritical nature of mortality—manifests itself as a crisis of her magical nature, which she fears above all else. Cognitively original even to those in the academic community, her colleagues and peers are too often confounded by her intellectually complex demands. But Celia knows that on all sides we are besieged by perspectives; caged within the learning of our precursor’s foreknowledge: What she seeks is to think and invent her way out of those perspectives, those laws that govern all magic, to gain a new direction as if no one had perceived or set the boundaries before her.
Lvl 1. Another Way to See – Celia's mind magics carry a touch of her consciousness with them, Celia feels a faint trace of any mental effect she uses on another. This allows her to know immediately if a spell is resisted or ineffective.
Lvl 2. Another Way to Feel – Celia's sense of touch is enhanced in such away that she can determine color, taste, and scent using her skin. This has the side-effect of allowing her to focus on that synesthesia when in pain, blocking it out almost entirely.
Lvl 3: A Better Way to Walk - Celia's Mind magics buffer her self confidence and surety, subtly altering her walking gait. When she walks at a brisk speed or holds any sort of tome, notebook or clipboard, Celia generates an aura of mind magic that radiates out to others, granting her a weaker Perception effect based on perceived authority. Mistress of Divination Divine Understanding - Celia is able to divine the nature and abilities of items by touch as well as gaining an understanding of the nature of their magical crafting. By touching an enchanted item or potion, she will gain permanent understanding of that type of enchanting or basic potioning. Phoenix Flare - Celia may draw on the essential magics of a magical item she owns, ripping them out of the item into her hands, where she is able to reforge them into a temporary but far more powerful magical effect or spell based on that item. The item is destroyed, but will be magically recreated at the end of the encounter, powers intact. Dead Leaves on the Ground - Celia can draw on the essential magics of a magical item she owns and push it into a state of decay. The item rapidly breaks, flakes and shatters until all that remains is a cloud of fragments, shards and flakes. These fragments drift to the ground and create a fifty foot diameter territory in which Celia gains a passive ability based on the powers the item had. The item is destroyed, but will be magically recreated at the end of the encounter, powers intact.[/P]

Accessories Magical A Practical Demonstration of Elemental Magicks, by Archmage Saleyani:
A practically bound leather volume containing theoretical explanations for the way in which each magical art produces energy. At the end of each chapter is a runic inscription that allows for a demonstration. By channeling a spell into these runic inscriptions, the reader can produce a directed blast of the energy covered in that chapter. > Elemental Blast: Once per encounter per art, produces a level 2 projectile in the art of your choice (Counts as a spell). Deep Jade Circlet - Grants the wearer the Earth Spell Armor. Athena Charm: Once per encounter the charm can be activated to summon to your aid an owl, who will drop into your hands a special scroll that will grant you knowledge of the level 3 spell of your choice. The scroll vanishes once you've read it and the knowledge of the spell vanishes after 10 posts. Autumn Stone - Stored the energy from the temple in one of the white stones you recovered from the dark elf interlopers. This allows you to switch to a seasonal form at will.
Weapon Magical Mind Dagger: A steel rapier dagger, with a silver basket guard wrapped in navy-colored silk. Parrying a weapon with this dagger instills a subtle suggestion in that opponent’s mind that their weapon is useless. The more you parry any given weapon, the stronger their compulsion is to switch weapons or fight entirely unarmed. Void-Tracer - A boomerang of navy-dyed ironwood with silver bands. When thrown can either generate a half dozen illusory copies of itself or lock onto a moving target. Mist Dagger - When thrown, the dagger can explode into a cloud of pollen that irritates the eyes and causes coughing, and will reform in his arm sheath in two posts. (Modifier 3)
Items - Miscellaneous Curious Dice - A pair of gold and silver dice in a black bag with the words "Good Luck" written on them. One of a handful that grant their barer an invitation to an upcoming exclusive Quest. Season Stone - A foot cubed block of white stone, imbued with the power of the seasons. Can be carved to unlock darkwood like powers related to one of the seasons at random. Dusk Ink - A small vial of the fluid contained within the sphere of dusk. Use as you will.

Personal Library
Celia’s very own collection—compendiums, books, volumes, and personal essays; papers she has slowly built up over time, and what she considers her greatest treasures. While a few may be on her person at any given time, most of them are kept within her shelves at the Mage Spire. Common Books The Wildlife of the Eastern World An Anthology of Country Houses A Machinists Guide to Building The Eastern Canon: The Books and School of the Ages Rare Books The Faeries‘ Parliament, by Johann Crowley. A peculiar little novel that is very dear to Celia. It is elegantly bound, and it tells the entire sordid history of a family plagued with knowledge of being related to the Fae, how their lives are a long tale in the telling, and that somehow their destiny is tied up and may be connected to Faerie itself. Numerology and Gramatica, by Archmage Flavia. In beautiful bound blue vellum tooled with gold, it is a mint condition copy of poetical mathmatics, and particular eminence. Flavia was a famed Arithmancer who Celia deeply admires, though considered unfortunately homely, she was a genius without peer in relating magic to numbers. (carrying) An Easter World Almanac, edited by Valerian Hollis. An out of date edition of a record of the Eastern World, it's a handsome copy written by one of Celia's favorite scholars. The pages that are earmarked for reference are completely innumerable and some of the cover may have faded. University Press. is embossed on the inside title page. (carrying) An Anthology of Eastern Poetry, edited by Katherine Talbert. A thick anthology of Eastern Poetry that contains everything from soldiers‘ songs to epic romances. Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, by George Lois Borgia. A parabolic short fiction of particular brilliance that Celia suspects was written by a distant relation. The pages have yellowed with age and withered, but it is still in decent condition. Just A Noblewoman, A rare collection purely aesthetic in value of personal epistles of the most intimate, written by a rather beloved, and notorious noble lady from Sylvan who some would say possessed a rather high opinion of herself, though it was far from undeserved. (carrying) The Breaking of the Vessels: Commentaries on the Mind and Mortal Essences and their Transference into Non-Living Constructs. Ad astra per aspera, by Celia Le Borges-Tertius. A treatise Celia is currently writing, bound in simple brown deerskin and tied with a cord. It's written in a cypher only she knows.(on her at all times)

Stats & Facts Name: Robert "Bobby" Brontus Titles: Race: Human Age: 22 Height: 6'1 Weight: 240lbs Affiliations: Blackguard Allies: Enemies: Accomplishments: Has been kicked out of almost every bar in Vinterheim and is on his way to repeating the task in Elexia. Appearance: Bobby doesn't exude good manners or fine sensibilities, he is overweight, bearded and usually looks like he could use a shower. Despite being from Vinterheim, his skin is a few shades darker than is typical for that region, approaching more of an olive hue. His hair is jet black and kept just past shoulder length and due to a lack of care is frizzy, almost approaching dreadlock. His beard is of the same color and long, falling down to his chest is a completely unkempt free flowing fashion. His large round face and small, slightly squinty almost black eyes would make him seem even more aloof however with his large build and noticeable stomach he can't help but come across as jovial. Apparel: Bobby likes to keep his dress simple and dawns no jewelry or other ornamentation. His pants are of a simple cloth material and are a simple grey, usually with a smattering of what could be blood, grease or booze smeared across them. He almost always wears a simple white shirt with similar stains and always has a black leather vest on over it, oddly the vest is usually in pretty decent shape. Background: Bobby grew up in Vinterheim, the child of two artisans who spent more time on their crafts then with their children. While most of his siblings did well enough in this environment, Bobby was constantly getting in trouble for fighting and spending whatever money he had at bars and brothels. Tired of the constant harassment from his family and Vinterheims authorities, the man moved to Elexia at age 17. While initially he struggled to make it in the big city, Bobby found enough gigs working as freelance "protection" for shipments coming into the ports. It was here that he also discovered a passion for fighting, taking his habitual drunken brawls into what can almost be considered an artform. Skills and Abilities Bar Room Brawler
Bobby may look like a big drunken fool whose about to stumble over and pass out at any moment but this couldn't be further from the truth. No matter how much Bobby drinks he is actually quite acrobatic and can easily perform a standing backflip and react quickly to threats around him. Blackguard

Yes, playing the daughter of the guy that was my primary PC in old EW. Stats & Descriptions Name - Arl Lotreab (+ Cee Lotreab) Race – Practically Human Age – 13 [12ish at start] Height - 4’5" [4'3" at start] Weight: 76lbs Affiliations – Enforcer (Warriors/Peacekeepers) Appearance : A smallish pre-teen with light-tan skin, a toned but slender build, a medium-sized nose, and a thin mouth. Her hair consists of many short, straight rainbow-colored strands. The color is natural, but few people assume that. Her eyes are the same color as her hair. She also has a rather elaborate tattoo (Lotreab's Marks) that is visible or invisible as she wills it; invisible is the usual choice. Apparel : Arl wears brown-green leather armor whose colors have begun to fade from heavy, virtually non-stop use. The rest of her gear is far nicer looking, but that is simply a side effect of her garb being entirely determined by what magical items prove the most functional (and affordable!). Garb like the lionhide cloak with a maned hood and golden paw shaped clasps she wears over her armor, or the golden lion buckle that adorns the silk salmon-colored sash around her waist. Her golden bracers are likewise decorated with lion-themed engravings, as is the golden lion-head clasp holds together the black silk choker that hugs her neck. The enforcer's chitin boots are more subdued in their coloration. An exception to her drab armor is the finely made leather cuirass protecting her upper body. The girl also wears an amulet beneath her armor, although it usually cannot be seen. Her guild/society sigils are worn with pride. A Freepara (Kinda like a parrot, only a bit smarter) with an oddly shaped beak travels with her. She sometimes carries a black backpack as well. Background - Long version:
Currently fixing this up, the old page-long thing was a bit of a mess.

Skills/Weaknesses Strong for a little girl isn’t very Strong - Arl has below-average strength.
Not fond of dying- Arl has a natural knack for redirecting the momentum of an opponent’s blows, and can contort her body to minimize damage. Melee attacks against her are effectively reduced in strength by one level.
Pointy Side Out- You might wonder how a child who spent most of her life without opposable thumbs would know how to wield a weapon at all, much less be good with one. Fortunately, the magical explosion that turned Arl into a human also gave her a natural talent for fighting with stuff. Swords, spears, fish, sacks of potatoes - you name it, Arl can fight with it.
> Arl is considered to be reasonably proficient with any weapon she fights with.
The voices in my head say I’m fine- Arl believes that her “father” speaks in her mind every now and then. Where he is or why this is the case is unknown - he usually only does this while Arl is semi-conscious or sleeping. He doesn't know anything beyond what is reasonable for him/Arl to know. And Aro was a hermit so his advice is.. of limited use.
Unusual Heritage- For all effects pertaining to/based on race/blood, Arl counts as a Freepara/Human hybrid.
Origami Swords (SOUL BLADES) - A pair of swords made out of folded, multicolored paper. Light, very sharp, and somehow as strong as Iron. The blades are also resistant to heat, flames, and water damage. Able to interact with the spirit world to gain abilities reflecting Arl’s nature.
Augments:
1: 2: 3: Soul(Warrior Aug): The blades can be blinked to Arl's hands across any distance. Furthermore, Arl's soul blades are surrounded in a paper thin aura of silvery energy. The aura can fold itself around the blades, causing them to shrink away and transform into pure energy diffusing into any part of Arl's body. That body part gains all the origami blade's powers, including the ability to fold and knit itself into a new shape, though this is uncomfortable. The body part also gains the material modifier of the blades. While the blades are with Arl her spells per post are reduced by one.
Lvl 1. Upon wounding a living being, the swords learn the essence of their spirit and can be used to track them. Lvl 2. The Origami Swords can be phased closer to the spirit realm, allowing them to harm spirits as if they were flesh and bone. Lvl 3.Paper Armory - The Soul Blades can re-fold themselves into other weapons/shields. This takes a few moments and conserves mass with larger weapons temporarily folding both blades together and possibly having hollow sections. She cannot split the blades into more than two weapons. Lvl 4. Arl is able to slash a part in the veil between this world and the spirit world that will harmlessly swallow up any projectile that enters it. Lvl 5. Arl's blade is physically incapable of harming her. If the blade would ever harm her in any way it instead phases slightly into the spirit realm while it overlaps her. This not only protects Arl from having her weapon turned against her but allows for unorthodox avenues of attack. Lvl 6. Hostility Lens - Arl may at any time imbue her blades with a glowing aura of any hue she chooses, the color scheme of the paper swords shifting to reflect it. This aura will spread to each object or being the swords strike, quickly spreading to envelop an up to 3' area around the point of impact. This aura causes any hostile actions or attacks made by the stricken to phase harmlessly through any living being except Arl. Each of these auras last until the end of the encounter or until Arl desires otherwise. Lvl 7. Arl may drive her Soul Blade into the ground to create a spectral ring of blades that rise up out of the ground around her, protecting her. These blades have the appearance and effects of her Soul Blade. Lvl 8. Rainbow Luminary - The blades dissolve in an eruption of harmless, incorporeal light. Some of this light solidifies into a single multi-colored blade of light that has all of Arl’s other soul blade abilities except it is capable of transforming and self-repairing at a vastly swifter rate. The rest of the light combines to form an insubstantial, Arl-sized fenghuang. Any attack that passes through the incorporeal and translucent bird will harmlessly phase through all but Arl. This transformation lasts for 7 posts before the blades revert to their former state, unable to dissolve again for another 10 posts. Lvl 9. Scrap Festival - Arl may choose a theme and will the Fenghuang to dissolve into a massive, faintly glowing cloud of swirling paper scraps. The bits of paper phase through unwilling creatures and their carried possessions. Arl can choose to control the scraps within 50ft of her, causing them to form whatever she desires as long as it fits the theme. The solidified scraps can handle small details on their own, for example if Arl created a staircase the paper would make it suitably old and rickety-looking for a “shipyard” or exquisitely carved for a “Moonlit Ball”. Undirected scraps and out-of-range scraps form whatever props/structures fit the theme, as though directing a play starring Arl as the hero. Objects/Structures created in this way are solid and have the same modifier as her soulblades. The Fenghuang's transformation lasts for the remaining duration of Rainbow Luminary and cannot be ended prematurely, although the cloud follows Arl if she leaves its sizable area. Lvl 10. Upon the slaying of a person or spirit, the sword(s) absorbs a a part of their essence. At the end of the encounter it will produce a soul crystal someone on the weapon(s) based on the soul of one of those it had slain that encounter, granting it an ability based on that person's inner spirit. The blade(s) can only contain three of these soul crystals at once, and one must be sacrificed to add a new one after that.
Silent Protector - Thanks to a member of the underworld she... helped out of a tight spot... Arl has gained access to several trainers that specialize in stealth. How she uses that training is her own business.
> While wearing light gear, Arl's footfalls are soundless.
> Arl can hide in shadows and behind objects to greater effect.
> Once per 5 posts, Arl is able to perform an intense movement (running, acrobatic leap, etc) without being detected (within reason. Someone looking right at her will still see her, etc.).
Warrior’s Guild Technique: Plant - Environment Combat -The art of fully perceiving and utilizing your environment in combat. BPs: 303 / 225 Lvl 1. Your situational awareness increases, allowing you to notice possible improvised weapons laying around others might overlook. Lvl 2. Your balance greatly improves, allowing you to stand steadily, even one legged, atop any item that will hold your weight. Lvl 3. Your agility increases, allowing you to leap and kick off parallel surfaces to perform aerial attacks. Lvl 4. Your coordination is enhanced, increasing your aim and allowing you accurately strike or kick objects so they fly in any given direction. Lvl 5.

Lvl 7. You learn to create very well crafted improvised weaponry by combining available items with great skill, even in the midst of battle. Lvl 8. You become adept at innately understanding how your surroundings interact with each other, improving your ability to rebound thrown items, plot trajectories and predict and initiate chain reactions. Lvl 9. You achieve a state of oneness with everything around you, making it almost impossible to surprise you. Lvl 10. Once per encounter you can enhance the unity between yourself and what is not yourself, effectively allowing you "see" in all directions, even through obscuring objects, and predict what is going to happen moments before it does. Lasts for five posts.
Springtime of Youth - Blessed with the energy, strength and vitality of spring, Arl is able to channel her life-force into a tenacious martial style.
BPs = EA - 66
> Arl may project her spirit downwards, hooking it into the very earth itself. So long as she does not move, she cannot be torn from her anchored spot by any ordinary force. Required BP: 30

> Arl may open within herself a font of spirit magics which fills her with power. Once per encounter, for no longer than 6 post her Arl's strength is considered increased a further level and her skin becomes painful to touch. Her sweat turns to light as it evaporates, giving her shimmering white aura. Required BP: 100

> After opening the first font but before its effects end, Arl may open a second. While this font is open her sweat burns blue on the surface of her skin. She feels no pain and her hands and feet are considered to be as hard as iron. This effect lasts five posts and extends the previous effect to match. Required BP: 200
The Golden Palm Fighting Technique - You learn how to channel your lifeforce into your hands when fighting unarmed, altering your aura so that it takes on a visible golden hue around your hands and reacts violently with the lifeforce of others. Blows to other people now are more painful and have a knockback effect. Arl CAN use this ability while wearing her gloves.
Lotreab's Marks - Magical tattoos that can be visible and active or invisible and inactive as Arl wills them. Each color has a separate power. (Primal Paints Set). >Black Twelve circles lie on Arl's back, each one a representation of the modern magical arts. From the middle of her back swirl tentacles of varying lengths, their arms slicked in shadowy feathers; the appendages violently bisect each of the twelve rings of Arl's tattoo, a monstrous writhing mass; each one having smaller tributaries of arms branching out like a network of trees, all different sizes and lengths. Eight curve around to her front; two of them moving over each of her shoulders, two under her upper chest, a fifth and sixth near her belly button, and two at the base of her hips. Two tendrils flow about 6" down each of her arms and one flows up the back of her neck; splitting into two tentacles that become thinner as each of them terminates in a trio of black lines on each cheek. A final tentacle moves down her back, splits, and continues on about 6" down each leg.
Powers -When active, Arl's mouth becomes a howling void space, allowing her to store stuff. She also gains the ability to distort and suck in magical/magically created projectiles.
Enforcer Bonuses Enhanced Physical Awareness - Detect subtle signs of crime & deceit Special Technique - Confessor's Grip - A special nerve pinch that inhibits lying.

Ghostly Bumboo(Void) - A flask of potent booze passed around in celebration after the dead were finally put down in a dark night on Bon Vivant, this bumboo has gained mystic powers as a result. When drunk this concoction will wash away all negative effects, from hostile magic to snake toxin. Refills at the end of encounter.
Oathen Heart(Carried) - A knarled bit of wood that looks suspiciously like a human heart. Becomes a clear crystal when an oath is made. Upon the fulfillment of the oath the crystal shatters; its power flowing into the oathmaker to grant them a special ability.

Cee Lotreab
A colorful Island bird, a little more than 2' long if you count his rainbow-hughed tail. Cee’s beak is longer and pointier than other Freepara's, whom have parrot-like beaks. Cee also has a number of black, dusky feathers with a purple tinge scattered here and there across his body. The most notable of these feathers is the area around his right eye, which is also abnormally colored for a Freepara. He also wears a tiny golden bracelet on his left leg.
> Twisted Voice: Although Cee can still speak despite the change in beak shape, his voice is now innately magical in nature. This allows him to throw his voice.
> Smarter than the Average Bird: Cee has the mental facilities of a 10yr old boy, making him a genius among freeparas.
Mirth - A Freepara that came to Arl when she performed the ritual of the guide. Mirth is as smart as a normal freepara and has normal beak. Mirth does not usually travel with Arl, instead preferring to fly around the landscape looking for interesting stuff to show her.
> Spirit Echo: Twice per encounter Mirth can scratch someone with his talons, allowing him to take the form of that person's spirit animal instead for the next 5 posts.

Stats & Facts Name: Alexis Renier Titles: Race: Jakari Age: 24 Height: 5'8 Weight: 140lbs Affiliations: Inquisitor Allies: Enemies: Accomplishments: Has tracked down a few felons. Appearance: Despite choosing the path of a law-woman, Alexis is average in height with a build that could be described as medium at best, fit and toned but not particularly muscular. While she is clearly Jakari, as evidenced by her wide and stout face, foot long tail, pointed ears and yellow cats eyes with pitch black irises, her caramel colored skin has almost no hair on it, save for a set of elongated whiskers. The woman's black hair is kept braided and tied together in the back, in a fashion that is vaguely reminiscent, although not quite amounting to, cornrows. While save for her tail she could pass as a dark skinned human from the neck down, her facial expression carries that distinctly mischievous look common amongst the cat people. Apparel: Alexis tends to wear the best clothing that she can afford. Her pants are a snug grey made out of fine satin and fall down to her cherry colored leather boots. She almost always wears a brown trench coat, double buttoned all the way up and needlessly sashed around the waist. When the situation calls for it, beneath her overcoat one can see a dark navy blue silk blouse, ruffled around the neck. On her left hand is an ornate silver glove adorned with amethyst chain markings, tipped on each finger with a razor sharp ebony point. Background: Unlike many Alexis did not join the initiates due to some harbored hatred of sentient races nor a desire for world domination but rather as a rejection of the values she grew up around. Raised by devout cleric parents, the young jakari was forced to expose every intimate detail of her life, exposing her earliest crushes and juvenile discrepancies to the public, transforming the entire adolescent experience into an adjudication in which she felt judged and humiliated. As soon as she could pass for of age, the woman went to Sylvan to indulge in all of the excesses that were forbidden to her and loved every minute of it. Alexis believes that law abiding people who don't harm others have the right to live life to the fullest and keep whatever secrets they deem fit from public exposure. After moving from Elexia to Sylvan at 18 the woman has lead what many would call a hedonistic lifestyle, however, it is one that is completely within the confines of the law. After several years of running with a fast crowd she learned the dangers of what can happen when one rejects all limitations and saw many fall victims to the criminal element of the world. For the past few years the woman has sought to strike a balance between the two extremes, living her life to the fullest while trying to stop those who gain pleasure in harming others. While not something she openly admits, her pursuit of justice coupled with her religious leanings have allowed for the indulgence in once hidden sadistic tendencies. While publicly she is a fun loving person who can border on charming in the right scenario, she makes no qualms in her opinion that those who harm others have forsaken their humanity and deserve to be treated accordingly.

Stats & Facts Race - Human Age - 32 Height - 6'2” Weight - 198 lbs Background - Very little is known of Alacritas in the Eastern World, and what isn't known he keeps to himself. He arrived on a ship shining in a brilliant white. He lost most of his minor fortune playing cards at the Flush (playing being an exaggeration; he didn't seem to understand the rules all to well), and has been reduced to using his skills as a swordsman to earn his meals.
The short, fat and stiff sailor eyed the man before him. Tall and fit with lean muscle, as he ought to be himself. “Boarding cost is 60 silver, paid in full and in advance.”
Alacritas considered his belongings. A coat of redwolf hide, a thick silver bracelet lined with three rubies on each of its sides, Falcon's Fury, a golden locket hanging from a necklace of silver threads, a handful of bird seed, compressed dirt clinging to his boots, and the stench of a sweating horse. The bracelet he could do without, as well as the coat. He would never dare abandon Fury in the hands of another, and the locket... A look at the pendant's portrait would anger and upset him, but the thought of leaving it behind infuriated him even more.
As he shuffled through his pockets, the sailor before him noticed the brooch pinned to the exquisite coat. It was bright gold, a sun-in-glory with its uppermost rays forming into three fleurs-de-lis, not unlike a crown. His eyes widened as he looked up at Alacritas. “You're a firstseed...M'lord?” Alacritas shifted his gaze to the sailor, his expression becoming still and cold. He curbed the desire to scold him. As much as he was bothered by it, he was a firstseed. The sailor was appropriate to mention it. The sailor glanced at his gray eyes, confirming his suspicion. “Come aboard, m'lord! No need to charge a firstseed for a voyage. 'tis an honor to have you on our ship, it is,” he exclaimed loudly, for all to hear.
What an upstanding citizen, Alacritas thought bitterly, brushing a fist against his chiseled chin. Alacritas nodded to the sailor as he walked past. Under any other circumstance he would have refused the service, but now he stood tired and hungry, and with little time to spare for semantics.
The ship's captain had provided him with a personal room, though Alec refused to use it. He only spent enough time in the quarters to remove his beard and shorten his hair. His long locks of auburn hair were objects of jealousy across the kingdom, but the need for anonymity greatly outweighed the need for style. Shoulder length would do; he could not part with it fully. He sold his bracelet to a merchant in the neighboring room, and his coat to another. The plump trader noted the sword at the firstseed's waist, narrowing his green eyes. “And I'll pay double for such craftwork. Forged by a smith of Ad, if I'm not mistaken!”
Alec shifted in place, placing a hand on the weapon's hilt, fingers tracing the grooves cut into the grip. With the other hand he felt at the neck of his shirt, finding the shape of the locket beneath.“It is not for sale,” he uttered. The trader raised his bid to triple, with no influence on the matter.
The commoners' cabins were crowded; many a body were sailing to Elexia. Alacritas found this to his comfort, and spent the nights sleeping among the rabble. None here recognized him, nor cared to try. No self respecting firstseed would ever sleep in a commoner cabin. The waste-filled floor dirtied his maroon tunic and matching trousers, almost fading them into a shade of brown. A foul smell filled the cabins, though the stench that Alacritas brought with him was just as unbearable. He regretted not taking a bath in his private room while the opportunity was there.
On the fourteenth day of the journey he was awakened half way through the night. Startled, he reached for Falcon's Fury, half expecting to find it stolen. The blade was still at his side. Across from him was a young child, malnourished and wide eyed. “Sorry to wake you, mister,” said the boy. “But me and my brother, we were trying to sleep. But you were speaking in yours, mister. Louder than usual. We couldn't sleep.”
This seemed to trouble Alacritas. “I was speaking? My apologies, boy. I hadn't realized.” He turned onto his side and shut his eyes, but the urge to slumber had gone from him. He sat up in his cot, searching for the child. “Boy? Boy, what did I speak of?”
“Much of it was mumbled, sir. It sounded like threats. You spoke with anger.”
“And that is all? Nothing else?”
“You mentioned a name. Juliana, I think. Something about her being well, I think.” Before he knew it, Alacritas had leapt from his cot, violently shoving the boy from him. The child fell onto his back, crying in terror. Realizing himself, Alacritas looked away in shame.
“Sorry, boy. I... I lost control of myself.” The child looked at him with a frightened expression, tears welling in his eyes. Alacritas watched him for a moment, then climbed to his feet and left the cabin.
Finding a comfortable spot along the ship's bannister, Alacritas Peregrine Firstseed looked out onto the sea. It shined a deep blue, subtle waves reflecting fractures of the moon. In the distance there was a dark shape forming. Bakara, Alacritas thought. By midday they will be docking in Elexia, and the running would end. He would no longer need fear the Ageless.
Appearance/Apparel - A slender face with no time for laughs, sunken cheeks and shallow jaw, but pronounced chin with a stubble. A low hanging brow gives his gray eyes a slender, angular look, usually set with a look of distrust. Shoulder length auburn hair. Handsome, but void of any boyish looks. He has a muscular build, clearly the product of a tested warrior trained by the elite, and well toned for athletic feats. He dresses in matching tunic and trousers of dark reds, once extravagant, but that time had passed. Above this he wears a shirt of mail bearing the imagery of a maroon falcon on the chest, with its wings spread wide. Black leather boots tightened with a clasped strip above the ankle. Falcon's Fury is always ready at his hip. Affiliations - Warrior Allies - Enemies - Accomplishments

Inventory Weapons Falcon's Fury - A hand-and-a-half sword forged from Nephach Steel, as strong as dragonbone. Nearly a yard and a half long from pommel to tip. The grip is just over a foot long, encased in rosewood, and etched with flowing curves akin to currents of wind. The pommel, an inch long, is shaped like a falcon's tail. The yard long blade is sharpened on both edges, and the tip tapers into a fine point. The cross-guard is fixed with a pair of quillons (see below). Total Hardness: 8 Enhancements:
-Homeguide
-The blade seems to have pull on the mind of the winds, able to manipulate them to its advantage. Because winds seem to solidify on its edges, it gains two extra hardness points and hits with one more strength than otherwise. The blade can also seem to "slice" through the air, creating a portal which powerfully sucks everything around it for a few moments.
Falcon's Talons - The quillons of Falcon's Fury are encased in rosewood, branching out 10”, terminating in sharp pommels decorated as a falcon's talons. Each quillon can be detached from the cross-guard about half way down the shaft, pulling out to reveal a stiletto with an 8” blade, thin and four-sided.
Armor Mail Shirt - A steel shirt of mail with a selection of rings painted before being linked, adding the imagery of a maroon falcon to the chest, its wings open wide and claws reaching forward in a threatening manner
Magical Items Staked Steps - A pair of tall black boots, lined up the front of each with three silver buckles, now blacked by soot and ash.

Name: Known only to those who've proven trust worthy. Goes by "Her" or other names she makes up on the spot, none of which ever stick. Race: Human Age: 23 Affiliations: Infiltrator
Appearance: Slender build, relatively short at 5'3", Long and wavy brown hair, olive skin. Though her appearance is quite fetching, her best feature is her emerald green eyes. She has relied on her looks quite often to get her the things her silver tongue or swift hands could not. She also has a tattoo of her true identity on her back, she has only herself to keep an eye on it.
Apparel: Though her natural beauty is one of her best assets, she more often than not dresses in attire as to not bring attention to her. Sometimes leaving her hair untamed and face dirty. She refuses to wear identifying symbols on any of her clothing unless it is to elude those of her real identity or motive. Life has shown her the best way to stay safe is to stay hidden, and the best way to stay hidden is to be among those she would intend on keeping hidden from.
Personality
It is uncertain to most people (though they rarely know) what her true personality and motives are. She is however she needs to be. She can be kind, or rude, seductive or uninviting, calm or livid. The only true aspect of her personality that is always the same is her sense of humor. She can never hold back her quirky grin to hide her appreciation for a clever joke, and never passes up an opportunity to be silly or sarcastic. She is great at masking her motives or behavior, yet can never convince someone who is not funny that she thinks they are. It has been her downfall at times, but she is working on that.
Background:
She grew up with everything a child could want, loving, successful and generous peacekeeper parents. Her Mother, Aconia, who was the beauty of her hometown was also polite, and intelligent. Best of all, her patience was great making her a wonderful mother, and her trusting in others even greater, making her friend to all. However, if someone managed to break it, her hot temper would take over. Her lack of ability for forgiveness was her ultimate downfall.
When Aconia's daughter reached 13 years of age, all of the town were joyous to attend her birthday celebration. Aconia and her husband, Antoni, had spared no expense for they're daughter. The best Music, Food, and Drink the town had to offer... And plenty of drink there was. Late into the evening, Aconia went to fetch her handsome husband for a dance. He couldn't be found. Aconia kept searching believing she would find him in a drunken sleep from all the drink he had indulged in. She found him, making love to another woman. Her rage heated so quickly and furiously. She raised her hands, the wind became cold. Dark clouds began to appear above her head, and she quickly called upon a bolt of lightning to strike at the other woman, ending her. She called upon the lightning again to strike at her husband, but before she could even muster the words, her slender neck was in his powerful hands, and broken.
Antoni carried his lover into the center of the celebration cradled in his arms. Confessing to everyone(including his daughter) what had happened, and begged to be arrested and punished. His daughter screamed "How could you carry her in here and not your wife? Where is she!?" She left him no time to respond. Confused, and overcome by grief at the loss of her mother she ran, Leaving her home town and never looked back.
Alone and without any coin, she did what she had to do to get by, going from town to town pick pocketing, stealing and cheating. The everyday trials and tribulations she was faced with made the days go by quickly, turning to weeks and months and eventually years. Being able to cast aside her emotions hand memory, she was able to become who ever she wanted, and get whatever she wanted. She learned the best way to treat her grief was laughter. She let go of everything else, or burried it somewhere deep in herself, except laughter... It was her lock to a door that she had no intent on opening ever again.

Faceless Mask- Infiltrators possess an uncanny ability when it comes to creating a spur of the moment disguise. Once per encounter they may alter their voice, accent, facial expressions, posture, gait and mannerisms to project a completely new identity. The persona created this way needs to be fictional, and can never be perfectly replicated due its improvisational nature.

Stats & Descriptions Name - Artemis Quinn Race - Human Age - 26 Affiliations - Oathbreaker Appearance & Apparel - A tall and lean man, around six feet. His hair is dark brown and lank, ear length, brushed to one side. His face is lean, with a thin sharp nose, large brown eyes, dimpled chin and large, full-lipped mouth. Face is marked by a shadow of a thin mustache. He typically wears a pale blue-gray shirt, dark brown plants and a tan leather vest, once fine but obviously having seen better days. Has a silver pendant necklace and bracelet. His black belt bares a steel owl belt buckle. Personality & Background - Quinn was born the bastard child of an Elexian Councilman and one of his maids, who was quickly fired, discredited and blacklisted as a golddigging liar. He and his mother grew up in poverty, doing whatever they could to get by. At a very young age Quinn, who knew better than most the devastating power of lies and the impotence of the law, became a Witness. He supported his mother until she passed away, and then moved into the Church, eventually becoming the cleric's top Witness. It was there that he met Lumarin and his sister Kaltara. Before long Quinn and Kaltara, an Invoker, were married and had a daughter, Sara. They moved out into the city and were very happy.
But then came the day that Quinn was assigned to lead the team of Witnesses to gather some information on the seemingly law abiding magnate Torbal Lee. When they managed to get their hands on evidence of Lee's real business, slave trading, they just barely managed to escape with it. They were forced to go into hiding before they could pass it on the evidence, Lees men having flooded the streets. When they were finally able to emerge from hiding, they discovered Lee had taken several of his teams family members hostage and when the church had responded things had gotten bloody. Kaltara and Sara had been slain by a gang of Nadrask mercenaries.
Quinn was destroyed. At a church meeting to mourn the losses, Quinn broke the silence and lashed out at Soltara. "Are you satisfied? Was my family's life worth it?" When the guildleader answered the only way he could from upon the white throne, with a truthful "Yes". Quinn quit the Clerics upon the spot, cursing out Soltara and the entire guild. He stuck around Elexia just long enough to see Ephlak'Gul, the man who had apparently led the attack on his family, executed, and headed to Epicrin, where he joined the mages in honor of his late wife. These days he uses his thieving skills for his own good, with no real concern for truth, and spends the rest of his time losing himself in drink and women.

Personality & Background - Voli remembers nothing from his early childhood. He doesn't recall his parents or what happened to them. Or perhaps he just tried very hard not to remember. When he was 9, a traveling cleric named Jebidiah found him and saved him from a life of surviving off of squirrels in the forest. However, because he spent so much of his time in animal form, he feels more comfortable as a bear. He continues to follow Jebidiah, fiercly loyal. He has an understanding of how society functions, but sometimes his temper overwhelms him and he acts out in temper tantrums. He means well and wants to do good to make Jebidiah proud. One day on their travels, they found themselves on My'kurr where they came across a group of men stuffing a small girl into a sack. Jebidiah's presence caused the men to abandon their plot and leave the girl Arl (and her bird) in his care for a short time.

Lvl 1. Curse of the Bear - The totem is cursed, binding itself to its owner until willfully taken and twisting the owners, both body and mind. Their body is trapped in the form of the bear, their mind warped to reject their human essence However, the rot seems that somehow affected the curse, allowing Voli's spirit to taint it.

Sadly, the mental toll of the curse remains, causing Voli to be uncomfortable in his own true form.

Personality – Kind soul, willing to listen to all points of view, even the ones that are wrong. Wants to heal the wounds in people’s bodies, minds, and souls. He will bring all to the light, in time. A triat from his father, anytime he starts to get passionate about something he begins speaking with the accent of southern bible-belt preacher.
Background –
This is the short version.
At a young age in a land across the sea his father killed the residents of his home town in the name of the Light. He then wandered around as a medic for several years spreading word of the Light and offering his services. On his way he met his friend Voli, and together they helped save Arl and deliver he to the Peacekeepers.
This is the ridiculously long version that happened when I just kinda started writing and didn't stop.
Long ago, across the sea, the sun shone brightly on a grove of trees as the birds sang softly in the background. Jebidiah looks around at the bountiful forest near his town, driven to say a quick prayer of thanks to the light above by its beauty. Thanks that his father, known as The Brilliant Flame, raised him to pursue his talent for mending not just people, but machines as well. Thanks for instilling in him the ability to see the Light of faith all around him and never to cower in the darkness of sin. For a moment, he thought he had been praised for his prayer by a bright white light flashing in the distance; he quickly realized this was not the case. His town was under attack. And his father was defending it with his brilliant white fire.
Jebidiah dropped the medicinal herbs he had been gathering and raced back to town. He was young, but knew that it was his duty to defend the Light of truth, just like his father. He could hear the screams of men and women being burned to death. “By the light,” he thought “who would attack us? We have nothing of value and no enemies…” His thoughts were violently interrupted by the visions he saw as he got near the town border; he saw the townspeople themselves ablaze!
“Why father? What madness has consumed you to do such a thing?” He muttered aloud as his neighbor let out his final scream of agony as the fire finished him off. He raced through town passing sights of his friends dead or dying around him as he sought his father. Everywhere he looked he saw the white scorches of his fathers’ flame outlining what looked like shocked or terrified people. It wasn’t hard to find him though, he just followed the screams…
There he stood; at the fountain in the center of town looking down a man retreating from him, trying to back away but hitting the fountains edge instead. “Please, don’t! We never meant for it to go this far! We started doing this just to see if we could…” The rest of his words would never be heard, for his father had struck him down with brilliant fire. Lying there outlined in white scorch marks, his face frozen in fear, he seemed almost sad.
“FATHER! What have you done?”
“My son, I am sorry you had to see this. I tried to take care of this in every other way, but you have to believe me when I say they had to be purged…” His father had said his last words. For with that he fell over onto the fountain, turning the water red with the blood that flowed so freely from his many wounds. As Jebidiah came closer, he saw that none of the wounds looked like they came from any weapon of man. He grabbed his father and shook him, weeping for his lost friends and his lost father. As he held his father a note fell out of his pocket:
Son, I am sorry for what has happened to the town. If you are reading this then either I died in my fight, or I had to leave from failure. I hope it is the former. In either case, this village is lost. I have been monitoring the flow of magic for some time, and have been noticing signs of Death magic rise steadily. I confronted the townspeople about it, and none came forward. So I followed them one night, and found them performing some dark ritual. What it did, I didn’t know but I could feel the evil flowing from it. After they left, I destroyed the site. They found out it was me, and came after me. Small at first, but it kept escalating. So I waited until you were out of town. And I engaged them all before they could do me any more harm, or even worse you. So I am sorry I have left you, but I am not sorry for what I did. I have defended the Light from those that wished to destroy it. Never forget my son, of all the things and people that will come and go through life, you must never lose sight of the light and always know where the dark is hiding.
With this he set out from his village after burying his father. He chose to travel the lands in search of places that need him. He started by helping a nearby village by being their priest and healer. They loved him there, for he brought with him a passion for life and the Light that few others here could match. After some time, though, he felt as though he needed more and left.
Expand for backstory adventure
The next time he stopped his wandering was when he stumbled into a turf war between two angry families. When he first arrived, they tried to kill him. Each side thinking he was a spy for the other. They only stopped trying to kill him after he walked into the middle of a fight and started stitching up the wounds of both sides. Anytime they tried to persuade him to join just one side of the feud, they all walked away in a sense of contentment, many of them just stopping to fight the battle anymore. Instead those few would begin trying to stop the fighting. When asked why they suddenly changed their minds, they would always respond “If you had heard him speak, you would feel the same. He just has so much passion for the lives that we are wasting in this war…”
Upon hearing this enough times, they began to pressure Jebidiah into speaking to both families at the same time, perhaps even ending this feud. Eventually he gave in.
Children of the Light! Why do you fight? You say it is because each family has been wronged, yet there is nothing more wrong than killing without need. By killing each other so casually, and with such malice, you bring into your lives the darkness of sin that destroys the Light in your hearts. Can you not FEEL the Light all around you? Do you not SEE what more your lives could be if you stopped killing each other? Do you not CARE that the lives you lead breed only sorrow and despair for your children? That they must grow up in a world where seeing their family dead and dying is an everyday occurrence? Why? Why do you continue this feud? Were any of you who still live the ones that were wronged? What do you lose by letting go of this hate and living in peace with your neighbor? What do you gain if they die? So please my children, lay down your weapons and banish hate from your hearts; instead open your arms, minds, and souls to the Light all around, the love of your families, and the joys of friendship. And finally you too may know PEACE!
After this speech, the families considered his words. They would not instantly know peace, but they would now consider peace at least. And so he left, sure that his presence would provide no further assistance here.
He wandered for a long time offering his services as a medic to any who needed it. He cared not for which sides he helped because with every patient he learned more about the way people think. Many of them he got to see the light, but others would not listen. He spent this time trying to find his purpose in life. And so his dedication would be set. He would travel the lands and bring to all to the Light, one way or another.
Possibly the most interesting thing that happened on his travels, was the day he met his friend Voli. While walking through a clearing in spring time, Jebidiah found a polar bear cub. Not sure why the bear was there or how it had gotten there, he approached. “Hello?” he said. He was surprised when the bear turned its head and said “Hi, got any food?” Perplexed, Jebidiah tossed out some jerky for the bear. Voli raced forwards, what would be a terrifying vision was diminished by the young male voice saying “Wow thanks!” After he devoured the food, Voli claimed “Wow, haven’t eaten in a while. Can I get some more?” “Uh, sorry. No more with me. I got some more back in town, if you wanna follow me.” And after that Voli followed me through my adventures. Learning about the Light and the glory of life as they went.
Before he finally left to go to a new place and help more people, he paid a visit to his fathers’ grave. Unexpectedly though, he found something on the tomb. He found a small leather bag with the initials J.B. on a small plaque. Inside he found a small supply of medical supplies. He did not know where this came from, but he knew it was meant for him.
Upon reaching the new lands, he saved a small female child-bird (Arl) from some less reputable people. After which he helped her meet the old man who helped her join the Peacekeepers. They remain good friends.

PrototypeEverytool: A block with a handle that has a number of tools along the four sides. At the push of a button near each tool the tools will be pulled into the top part. There they will be held in place and able to be used.
Non special Tips for this unit: Screwdriver, Adjustable Wrench, Pliers, Metal File, Bottle Opener, Small Knife, Chisel.
Special tips: Small Electromagnet tip for picking up things like screws. Flashlight. Vocamper. A small electric servo that can attach to file things and make them smooth.

Not strong enough to use as a weapon, but with some time can cut through bone. (Made of mostly Iron)
Conduit Vest - A leather vest lined and studded with wires, leads and ports. When a topaz battery is plugged into it, can be used to power any electric devices you have all off that one central batter, rather than needing to have multiple ones for multiple devices or spend the time switching one from device to device.

Creeper Keepers - a pair of chitin gloves with a tigereye imbue that can transform into a pair of hand-sized 5 legged spiders.
These Are The Things All Wise Men Fear Name Hartigan de la Valse Age/Weight/Height 22/ 149 lbs./ 5'9" Appearance Somewhat gaunt, but not too frail, Hart stands at a decent height among human men. His face is irregularly handsome, though sharp with high cheekbones. His eyes are a bright gold, seemingly metallic. His hair, walnut in color with grey streaks throughout, is combed, but left with some volume (in a Captain America way). His nose is a bit sharp, but he makes do. His lips curl into a thin line, though he remains oddly amiable. His body is lithe, toned but not overly muscled. He has a tattoo covering his shoulders of an odd runic pattern or schema. He does not talk about it. His left arm is scarred, almost seemingly burnt. There is a terrible shadow clasped to his arm, almost as if it will eat him at any moment. It does not frighten him. Apparel Crisp but flexible white button-up with a high collar. The buttons are made of a blackened gem, subtly sparkling in all lights. The collar reaches up to his jaw, shielding his neck from daylight. Midnight colored trench coat, with a similar high collar as the shirt and military epaulets. It has glimmering specks, almost as if they were stars. He keeps the belt of the trench tied behind him. Left shirt sleeve is rolled up. The trench sleeve is folded back and pinned. Dark navy slacks, held up with a black leather belt marked with a tarnished silver buckle. It’s difficult to make out what was on the buckle before time and weather wore away at the silver. Slacks are tucked into mid-calf black leather boots. Three silver rings at the top of his right ear. Onyx stud earrings. Golden signet on his right hand, marked with the crest of House Valse, a stylized V with thorns. History Hartigan crossed the veil of worlds through an old ring of stones, woken by a stolen relic. He seeks a servant of his, an apprentice who fled his service when the price of power came due. As he entered this world, this realm of Epic heroes, he found that his darkness had fled. He shed the majority of his powers to gain entry, though he found different magics clinging to him. His arm, once injured in a terrible battle against a demon, now seeps a similar hatred and darkness, growing as Hartigan grows, much to his liking. He seeks his apprentice to recover his lost possessions.
Skills and Abilities Unbound, Unbidden, the Night Goes On: Hart may not join any guilds or societies as they and he shun each other. The Sea at Storm: Hart’s presence is unsettling. Upon meeting Hart, the disconcertion cannot be easily attributed.
A Moonless Night: Hartigan’s spirit takes the form of a vile creature. This soulbeast feeds on the spirit energies that surround and emanate from Hartigan, growing into something sinister.The creature writhes around Hartigan’s arm, mostly composed of pure shadow. It is wrapped tightly, almost tethered to him, rooted around the burn mark which has long since scarred over. From most perspectives, it looks to be a serpent, though on closer inspection, its body bears many tentacles wrapped around the arm. Its head has a gaping maw with many small jagged teeth; when staring directly at the open mouth, the teeth seem to move, almost as if it were a grinder. The soulbeast has piercing onyx eyes, almost as if it were subtle light from a moonless night, glimmering from Hartigan’s arm.
Level 1: The soulbeast can flatten itself into a gauntlet of solid shadow around Hartigan’s arm. The fingertips are fanged, and it bends almost with the quality of leather. It speaks lies.
Level 2: The shadow beast writhes furiously when it draws close to a foe. When Hartigan seizes a foe with the gauntlet, the beast lashes out with everything it can, each lash and hiss amplifying the seized target's fear.
Spells
Dark
0 - Mistrust - Target feels the seeds of distrust toward Hartigan.
Spirit
1 - Divine - Sense if any spirits are in the area and their general mood.
2 - Incite - Cause a target to grow angrier and potentially violent.
Weapons The Soul Beast, the Moonless Night Poetry: Steel shortsword, polished mirror bright. The hilt is wrapped in black leather; the crossguard bears a large circular jade.
1. Homeguide
Misc. Orrisia: A small crystalline sphere about the size of Hartigan’s fist. When peering into the cloudy glass, Hart can sometimes make out the shape of terrible creatures.
1. If Hart peers deeply enough into the sphere, he can call out an echo of a creature he once strongly controlled in his homeland. Once summoned, this creature is bound to the sphere and can be resummoned at will in the manner of a Lesser Link.
Just a note to newer players, the only time you should use spoiler tags in your profile is if you want to include some insanely long flavor stuff. Only spoilers I see that are necessary is the long version of Udo's backstory.
And for LSSs, just can list the levels you have reached and edit new ones in when you get them.
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Race: Human Age: 45 Height/Weight:6'2"/212 lbs Appearance: Tall and reasonably muscular, with a smooth olive complexion and dark hair, graying significantly all over, cut short and parted on the left. His eyes are a violent blue, and his mouth, whose lips are perhaps a little large, is obscured by a thick and bushy moustache without any of the signs of age which have struck the rest of him. Powerful, rough hands curiously bereft of any scars, a wide chest, and moderately athletic arms and legs. Apparel: A three-piece suit of navy worsted flannel, cut fashionably but still wide enough to preserve his range of movement, purchased new but quickly showing wear characteristic of the road. Underneath a white shirt, worn without a tie, somehow always sparkling white and new. On his feet are smooth, shiny dark brown derby boots, moderately pointed but blunted at the ends, with captoes and double leather soles, which obviously cost quite a lot when they were new. Background: From his accent you'd say Elexia, but he'll look at you suspiciously if you ask, which means you probably shouldn't.

Skills
Fleet-Footed - Lucian knows enough about fighting to know how to keep his balance under duress; it's difficult to trip him or knock him down, especially when he knows to be on his guard.
The Life of the Sword - Lucian has some experience and training with most kinds of weapons--not enough to be a master with most except his sword, but well enough to hold his own. This training has imparted him with knowledge, but left him with a lack of flexibility; he finds it difficult to use more than one weapon at once, a disability he justifies by calling it dishonorable.
The Code of Chivalry - Lucian strives to present himself as, essentially, an upright and honorable citizen, the kind of person you'd be willing to trust your gold and your life to. How this happens in practice... varies.
His Own Man - Lucian, for reasons of his own, will not join guilds or societies--nor would some have him if he tried.
Adonis
Lucian's attunement with body magics passively alters his body, awakening his inner potential turning him into a an embodiment of physical perfection. Level 1: Lucian's skin is clear and flawless, unscarred or marked by blemish or time. His immune system quickly deals with any illness, disease or pathogen. Level 2: Lucian's eyes are clear and piercing, his irises a brilliant shade of blue. His hearing is enhanced. Level 3: Lucian's body rapidly burns excess fat and builds his musculature to maintain a perfect balance. He can control the type of physical sensation touch causes. Level 4: Lucian's strength level naturally increases by a level. His leaping ability doubles. Level 5: Lucian's body seeks to maintain its perfection, shaping his flesh to superficially close any wounds or breaks while they heal. Level 6: Lucian's body's efficiency is optimized. Effects that would weaken or fatigue him do nothing. His maximum potential running speed increases to 30 mph and can be maintained indefinitely. Level 7: Lucian's body automatically resists all attempts to harm it, reacting to attacks by reinforcing his flesh into a subdermal armor. Level 8: If Lucian can observe the use of a physical ability on three seperate instances during an encounter, he can mimic that technique for the remainder of the encounter. He may only mimic two abilities at a time and must purge one from muscle memory before analyzing another. Level 9: Should someone cleave away a part of Lucian's perfection, it will grow back in time as good as new. Time to regrow back missing parts depends on the level of dismemberment. His heart and brain need to be connected for the effect to trigger. Level 10: Lucian reverts in age to his physical and mental peak, becoming ageless. He gains an ability based on his experiences until this point.
Kitsari
A fox pup with golden eyes. Will grow into a large, majestic ally. Stands 4" to the shoulder and just under 6" long not counting the tail. Level 1: The kitsari can, when not under duress or stress, move between the sizes of any of the levels it has reached.. (1'1" tall, 1'5" long) Level 2: The kitsari's eyes take on a golden glow. Its gaze draws your attention by dulling all your other senses. (1'10" tall, 2'5" long) Level 3: The kitsari learns to speak. (2'7" tall, 3'6" long) Level 4 Effects that increase its owners strength are mirrored in the Kitsari. (3'4" tall, 4'7" long) Level 5: The kitsari is now just as fleetfooted as Lucian, able to dodge much more adeptly and can fight with a blade held in its mouth is necessary. When it reaches level 6 it has Lucian's level of skill with a blade in human form, and when it reaches level 8 this skill extends to its tails. It grows a second tail. (4'1" tall, 5'8" long) Level 6: The kitsari has the ability to transform back and forth between its normal form and a humanoid form based on its owner. (4'10" tall, 6'9" long in primal form, varies in humanoid form) Level 7: The kitsari can open its mouth and absorb into it in any magical projectile or magically created projectile attack coming at it. If it does, it gains for the next three posts a physical buff or ability determined by the art of the projectile . Can only catch 5 projectile attacks per encounter. (5'6" tall, 7'10" long in primal form, humanoid form remains unchanged in size) Level 8: The kitsari grows a third tail. These tails can be controlled with prehensile precision and extend out up to three times their normal length. The kistari can gain a physical trait or skill of anyone who these tails ensnare, sharing it with you. Level 9: The kitsari's may, through eye contact with an opponent, use one of your spells her post to create a Puppeteer effect. Damage dealt to the target of this effect will mirror in the kitsari while it is maintained. Level 10: While in humanoid form, you an the kitsari may physically rift, combining into a greater, stronger form. Your consciousnesses, personalities and wills will remain separate.
Spells
Storm
Level One: Whisper - While speaking in a whisper, Lucian can manipulate the air to carry it to the ear of anyone within his sight.

Level Five: Leap - Augment the musculature of your legs to give yourself the ability to jump superhuman heights and distances.
Weapons Michelle - Long, thin steel rapier with thin, silvery traces running along the length of the blade. The hilt is elaborate but tarnished bronze, covered in a brown leather which is cracked and seeing its last days. On the very butt is what looks to have once been an initial, but which has been scratched thoroughly into illegibility. Sheathed at his side in a scabbard of brown leather and brass similar to that of the sword. The Chorus - A pair of brass knuckles, well-worn. Wooden Staff - Tall staff made out of a dark, richly-grained wood, topped with an elaborate carving of a nymph slowly emerging from the wood. Has the properties of a sapphire imbue, allowing it to be made as stiff or flexible as Lucian desires at will, without the presence of any actual sapphires. Armor Security Policy - Underneath his shirt is worn a thin, form-fitting bronze plate over his chest and lower back, just enough to deflect a casually thrust dagger. Other Items
Correspondance - Letters and notes, some by him, some by others, along with a generous amount of blank parchment.
Diary - Black, heavily-worn, dirty book, small enough to fit in his hand but thick.
Void Pockets - The pockets of his suit are portals to a pocket dimension, allowing him to store a number of things in them, though they still weigh him down.
Sundries - Ivory comb; various colognes; a fragment of glass.
Imperfect Shard - A shard of orange metal, remnants of the partially forged chestplate Deathcloak was creating upon their entrance, now shattered. No where near as powerful as Deathcloak's armor, it is modifier 2, has an amplifying and truehearting effect on enchantments, and items formed from it repair much more rapidly. Shards are at their longest 1' long and 3" wide as their widest end.
Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.

> Elexia Sponsorship
- As a champion of Elexia you have gained a degree of fame among the good people of the Home of the Wayfarer. From the snooty merchant-nobles to the filthy dock trash they share a mutual hatred with, you are the only other thing they agree on as good besides the Elexian Forceball Team and tea. You are great.
- Elexian Champions have no more important issues weighing their minds than what to wear, where to eat, when to sleep, why to bathe and how to clean up this awful mess. That is why Elexian Champions have Valets. Your Valet is Waterbury, an ageless man with the manners of a prince and the discretion of an angel who will never speak a word out of turn, will accept any order with dignity and grace, and will sponge bathe you should it be required.
- The Finest Things - Elexia has its own way of doing things, and its own way of treating its champions. Namely, the best way possible. The Home of the Wayfarer likes to send it its Best and Brightest off with an Elexian tradition known as the Fortune's Feast, honoring the widely held belief that if you are going to risk your life, you might as well get some nice food out of the deal. Before doing on any sort of quest, you (and up to two guests) may take part in a sumptuous meal at the prestigious Bai Hai Club. Over the course of said feast, each character will make menu choices in a manner not unlike using a Loot List, creating a unique meal. These choices will combine together to give the character a unique boost that will last for the duration of their next quest.
> Eye for Talent
His experiences during the events of The Run taught Herschel a very valuable lesson: Hiring someone else to do all your fighting for you is amazing and also great. As a result, the merchant has developed an even keener eye for the diamonds in the rough, giving all mercenaries he hires boosted abilities.
> Richard. Just Richard
There was something off about the Richard known only as 'Richard'. He's dead now, and you shouldn't have to worry about him any longer, but nevertheless you can't help but feel like you're being...watched? Like there is something still out there, biding its time? It might just be paranoia, but you know one thing. If anything does come up, you intend to be ready. Screw you, Richard.
> Number One Fan
Having witnessed your feats of derring-do and the way you exploded that one guy first hand, you now have a dedicated fan in Galla. She is now following your adventuring career with interest, and after events of note may send you a letter and potentially even a token of esteem. (Gala wrote down the wrong address. She writes the letters to Lumarin, but Herschell receives them. Herschell has not yet seen fit to remedy this.)

Pain surged through Servius's head as the rock struck his temple. “Get back into your cave, drow,” the children shouted in a chorus. The dark elf spat a cuss in their direction as he continued across the foliage laden ground. The taunting lessened as the younglings disappeared into one of the titanic Greevan trees.
“I swear to Regus, someday I'll show the fáviti a shade of respect.” Servius felt at his temple, searching for any marks of a bruise. His dry, milk-colored skin didn't seem harmed in any way. Relieved, he tucked his silky ebony hair, falling just shy of his neck, behind his tipped ears. He regularly fixed his hair when becoming agitated.
Up ahead loomed Svart, the tree housing the Mage's Guild. A large stump was planted about thirty feet away from the guildhall's entrance, a wooden hatch fitted to its hollowed surface. Servius pulled it open and climbed inside, lowering into his clan's chambers. He was growing tired of the descent into darkness; he could never feel comfortably at home underground, despite having lived there for as long as he could remember.
Pulling a metallic bauble from the pockets of his brown trousers, the dark elf fixed his shirt. The shirt button-up shirt, cobalt blue, hung open over his chest. The left sleeve reached the entire length of his arm, terminating in a broad open cuff. The right sleeve finished before the elbow, the threads on the fringe suggesting that it had been cut short. He lowered the bauble onto a table at his side, and found a place for himself in an adjacent chair.
His father, sitting in the corner, sighed in his usual heavy tone. “Servius, Annar leikfang? Heppinn fyrir þig höfðingjar koma aldrei á gólfið. Þeir myndu að skammast sín.” A lifetime servant to the Second Council, he only ever saw things from their perspective. His tasks held no dignity in them; the Elvish Lords would commonly hand him degrading chores for their own amusement. His father never cared that he served for their amusement, always imagining himself to be a high-serving drow. There was some truth to this, as no drow served the Lords at a higher level than he.
Servius rolled his pine green eyes. It wasn't the first time his father talked down to him. But something about this incident, as casual and inconsequential as it was, seemed to trigger something in Servius. Snatching the bauble, he raised himself and climbed out from the hatch, heading towards the city gates.
Skills Battery and Assault Servius was blessed with the ability to control electrics to a degree. Having an affinity for both Force and Storm, he found himself capable of fusing the two, creating electrical storage units. (Dualmagery: Spark/Contain)
Lvl 1: Summon into your palm a spherical force ball, the size of a thumb, charged with electricity. Metals can tap into the electricity, channeling through small to medium objects over 5 posts, or a large object through 1 post, powering them. The sphere dissipates when the charge is emptied. Counts as a spell, usable once every five posts.
Spells Storm Level 1 Spark - Release a small arc of your bodily electricity from your fingertip. Is enough to startle and cause brief pain, as well at ignite highly flammable materials. Force Level 1 Contain - Generate in your hand a "jar" construct of solid force, 6" in diameter and 8" tall. Can close off the top when you wish.
Inventory Weapons Stiletto Stinger
A contraption strapped onto his right arm, bearing a pair of spring loaded iron blades, 1' long. With the press of a button, the contraption releases the blades, launching them in a scissor-like arc, cutting through everything in their path. Once deployed, they can be used as a Katar, and must be reloaded by hand. At the axis where the blades meet is a small hole, perfectly fitted for one of Servius's batteries. Charged effect: When charged, the blades of the Stiletto Stinger begin to rotate clockwise, acting as a low powered saw. Bronze Quarterstaff
An unremarkable quarterstaff made of bronze, 6' long.
Containers
A myriad of small pockets sown into his left sleeve.
Stats & Descriptions Name - Yaagh Race - Greel Age - An appropriate age for an immature Greel Affiliations - None Appearance & Apparel - Yaagh looks grubby, even by Greel standards. Personality & Background - Yaagh was held by Garr as a slave very recently and resents any kind of control over him, even sometimes misunderstanding things like contractual terms and consentual authority. But when he came across a Breaker Kanabo and some Force Scrolls, everything changed for Yaagh. Achievements in EW -
Skills/Weaknesses Able-bodied - Yaagh is normally at Average strength, not Weak (the Average for Greel) Breaker Kanabo - A large, thin ironwood club studded with rounded iron knobs used to shatter shields, blades and bones. Stands three quarters as tall as user. Has steel chain wrist strap. Lvl 1. The kanabo's inner force magics reduce its weight, but only to you, allowing you to wield it much more easily without reducing its power. Lvl 2. The kanabo's modifiers increase by one. Lvl 3. Upon impact, the kanabo releases a burst of raw repelling force for a powerful pushback effect. Lvl 4. The kanabo can be recalled to your hand from anywhere and cannot be forcibly removed from your grip.
Lvl 5. The kanabo's knobs can generate short force construct spikes from each of them. Once per encounter it can launch five of these spikes as projectiles. Lvl 6. Thrice per encounter, if you use the Kanabo to parry or block an attack, your next unarmed melee attack gains empower effect whose magnitude is dependent on the force of the attack blocked. Lvl 7. Slam the kanabo into the ground to cause an shockwave of upwards force all around you reaching out 10 ft around you. Upwards force is equal to the force of the hit. Lvl 8.

Skills/Weaknesses
Mantle - Your attunement to fire magics passively alters your body, stoking your inner fire and turning you into an embodiment of molten heat. Through concentration you can. if necessary, cause these changes to demanifest temporarily, though doing so drains your focus and ability to use spells.
Lvl 1. Your skin is ruddy and feverish. You quickly burn away poisons and potions.
Lvl 2. Your irises gain a flickering red glow. You are able to shift your perception to see heat.
Lvl 3. Your veins glow orange beneath your skin. Your touch is so hot it is painful for others to touch you.
Lvl 4. Your gaze causes a target to become warm and uncomfortably flush or feverish. This acts as an intimidation effect. This intimidation effect increases with your Mantle level.
Lvl 6. Your skin bakes and tans, becoming as tough as leather. Your breath becomes steam, your bodily fluids boiling hot.
Lvl 7. You can inhale nonmagical fire to boost the power of your next fire spell.
Lvl 8. Your hair catches fire but does not burn away. You can breath fire up to three feet. Your nails glow red hot.
Lvl 9. Your gaze can rapidly raise the temperature of what you look at in a precise spot. Moving objects are harder to heat precisely. Requires focus, costing you a spell.
Lvl 10. You learn to harness attunement for a custom ability based on your personality and fire.
Spells
Fire
1. Ignite - Snap your finger to cause a very small intense burst of heat in a spot you are looking at. Can be used to start a small fire if used on highly flammable materials
2. Fireball - Summon into your hand a semi-solid ball of flame that does not burn you and can be thrown. On impact it hits with the consistency of water.
3. Fire-Axe - Summon to your hand a throwing axe of solid flame.(Learned via the Legacy Journal)
3. Smokescreen - Burn a 7' diameter cloud of clinging smoke and choking ash into the air at a location within your sight.
4. Boil - Instantaneously turn up to ten gallons of water into expanding steam.
2. Snuff - Disrupt an existing non-magical flame. Can extinguish smaller fires and slow the burning of larger ones.
5. Unchained Heat - Channel your fire magics into any object that is looped, locked, tied or wrapped around you until they burn away, melt or break. Magical items will begin to mend as soon as you are free.
6A. Flamethrow - Release from one of your hands or your mouth a jet of fire, reaching out a maximum of 5'.
7A. Jet - Release explosive bursts of flame from your feet, launching yourself in whatever direction you aim your feet. You may extend this effect to your hands as well for sustained, stable flight.
Lvl 1. Lantern - Create a floating ball of light before yourself or another that moves with the target, glowing with the intensity of a candle. (Learned via the Legacy Journal)
Lvl 3. Splint - Magical force reinforces your limbs, neck, and head, preventing them from moving in ways or suddenly moving at speeds that would be damaging, guarding against limb-breaks, joint dislocations or concussions. Can also be used to help hold already broken or injured body parts in place to allow movement.(Learned via the Legacy Journal)
Unlvl. Revoke - An artless spell taught only to those mages who dedicate themselves to the path of order. Allows the Arbiter to dispel and negate any spell whose level is less than the highest level spell they know. That spell cannot be cast until after your next post. The same spell cannot be revoked twice in one encounter.
Weapons
PyreStar – A Stone Morningstar that can be willed to create a fiery, ghostly copy of its ball 5’ away that mimics the original’s movements. Despite its ghostly appearance the ball hits with the same amount of force as the Morningstar itself.
Non-Weapon Items
A Flask with an inscription on it
Legacy journal - Contains the spells: Fire Axe, Splint, and Lantern
Bloodied Coin - A gold coin stained with the blood of Deathcloak, proof of their role in bringing him down. Grants the wearer a Legend Point. Nontransferable.
Finances - 0 Gold - 2 PK Credit

THE BURNINATOR RETURNS
Inaugural obligatory congratulations post!
EDIT - New Players Read Peterson's post below, who from here on out shall be referred to as Maus.
To live is to hope, and while we breathe, we hope and live.
New players can keep in mind that golan started with an LSS, a sword, a flask, and paid 25 Gold to join the Peacekeepers. This is a little underpowered. You can start with those things, and a useful skill like Enchanting, or make up your own stuff and use those in place of an LSS. Also, remember to wait for a moderator to approve your character before you start posting with him/her.
Also, when EW is open you will see posts from moderators on this thread saying things like "Your character is approved" and "Bluemage, you're an idiot".

Name - Kherren
Titles - 'The Mountain'
Race - Garr
Age - 28
Height - 8'10
Weight - 320lbs
Appearance - Kherren is a tall and broad garr, with especially pronounced facial ridges. His deep brown eyes sit in the middle of a face that rarely changes from its discontent half frown. His hair is moderately short and allowed to fall back and to the side naturally.
Apparel - Kherren's attire is simple, an uncomfortable looking leather cuirass over a soft hide jerkin, and hide pants. Both splattered with mud and blood and both sporting signs of continuous wear. Around his waste, tied in a loose knot is a length of iron chain. Kherren refuses to wear gloves or shoes at any time.
Background - Kherren is a member of the Torga-leen tribe, venturing away from his homelands to prove himself stronger than his brotherhood. Getting any more of his history out of him will take some convincing.
Affiliations - Warrior's Brotherhood
Strength - Overall (Mighty), Stone-Shatterer/Legs (Prodigious)
Overall Striking Downward (Prodigious), Stone-Shatterer/Legs Striking Downward (Superhuman)
Job -
Allies - Torga-Leen Garr
Enemies -
Accomplishments
Skills and Abilities
Born of the Earth - Kherren is a member of the garrish race, and as such, is stronger and tougher than most men, possessing a strength level of Very Strong. His stone skin makes him resistant to being cut or burned. In addition to this, Kherren is a very patient and determined individual. He is also, due in part to this, a very good fighter.
Mountain's Mark - A ruddy red marking wrapped around Kherren's right wrist, formed from the old garrish runes for 'mountain' and 'patience' interwoven to form a knot like pattern. The ink for this tattoo was distilled from the tentacle of an ancient horror, imbuing it and by extension Kherren with a touch of destruction magic.
>Stone-Shatterer - Hard blows landed by the tattooed arm can shatter and pulverize stone in a large area around the point of impact. The resulting rubble flows around the arm forming a much larger replica of the arm formed of jagged shattered stone and held together by crimson glowing energy. This arm gains an additional strength level and knockback effect.
>Will-Shatterer - The longer during a battle your opponent goes without landing a blow on you, the more they afflicted by an increasing incite effect and become more reckless and frantic with their attacks.
The Mountain's Peak - Kherren believes himself, and likely other members of the garrish race, have the potential to become even greater examples of their people than they already are. He is a natural monolith, resilient and unstoppable.
>Level 1: Kherren cannot be stunned or knocked unconscious by head trauma.
>Level 2: Kherren's eyes have the appearance of emeralds. He can sense ground-based movements around him through vibrations in the ground.
>Level 3: Kherren's base strength level increases by one.
>Level 4: Kherren's hair and nails are now razor sharp and metallic.
>Level 5: Kherren's bones become metal and much harder to break, as well as channeling electricity harmlessly through him.
>Level 6: The body's rigidity prevents outside forces from influencing it. Kherren gains immunity to outside magics that would alter his body and his connection to the earth means he cannot be moved against his will.
>Level 7: Kherren grows a foot taller, towering high above most men.
>Level 8: Kherren can vein his arms in lutharin crystal, charged with the art of your choice, strengthening them and granting them the imbue effect of that crystal. Can only be done three times per encounter. For every post he maintains this effect, he must wait that long before its next use, maximum of five posts per use. Crystal type chosen upon reaching this level.
>Level 9: Twice per encounter Kherren can root himself to the ground and turn into a true monolith of immobile, unmovable, indestructible stone, completely aware but incapable of movement. Can only last for three posts.
>Level 10: Kherren learn to harness his attunement for a custom ability based on his personality and earth.
Warrior of the Earth - A series of techniques taught by the Warrior's Brotherhood of Bakara, characterised by techniques that allow for grappling and beating down foes. [332 BP]
>Level 1: You learn to be unmovable so long as both your feet are planted firmly on the ground.
>Level 2: You gain a strength level exclusively in your legs.
>Level 3: You learn to immediately and protectively roll your feet when landing or while on the ground.
>Level 4: You learn how to perform tripping and hip tossing maneuvers while grappling your opponents to take them to the ground.
>Level 5: You gain an effective level of strength while executing downwards strikes.
>Level 6: You master the technique of sweeping your opponent's legs out from under them, leg sweeps and trips are harder for your opponents to dodge or disrupt.
>Level 7: You become impossible to knock unconscious with blows to the head while learning the correct technique for performing devastating headbutts.
>Level 8: The higher you tower above your opponent, the more your very presence is both intimidating and dazing.
>Level 9: Your shoves, pulls and grapples gain an additional effective level of strength so long as you remain mostly stationary.
>Level 10: You are a master of beating down your enemies, each impact from fist or foot induces a sense of increasing vertigo. You are able to effortlessly incorporate shoving, pulling or tripping into your attacks.
Spells and Magics
Earth
>Level 1: Align - Focus on the iron in your body to find magnetic north.
>Level 2: Ferropathy - While maintained, you gain an awareness of metals within 10' of you and their movements.
>Level 2: Dirty Trick - With a sharp upwards gesture, cause dirt, dust and soil to fly up off the ground at a target's face.
Weapons
The Grass-Cutting Blade - A beautiful two-handed scimitar with curious green patterns forged into the blade. Several exotic-looking charms dangle from the grip by a cord, creating a curious chiming sound. Due to its unique properties, any enchantment may be placed on this weapon for a 25% reduced fee. Modifier 5.
>Gains the following special effect based on the Kherren's Warrior's Technique.
>Cow the Weak - Twice per encounter, Kherren may draw the full might of his brutal training into the Grass Cutting Blade to deal a terrible crushing blow to an opponent, a blow that utterly shatters any strength they may have left. This attack leaves its target Weak for three posts.
Grounded - An eight foot length of chain composed of heavy, impossibly dense black iron, each link a subtly different shape. The ends can fuse together at Kherren’s will, allowing him to use the chain to easily bind things.
>Defeated - If whatever is bound by the chain struggles or tries to break free, the chains will grow progressively tighter; slowly at first, but faster and faster until whoever or whatever is bound will be crushed inside them.
Non-Weapon Items - Armour and Accessories
Master's Flesh - A cuirass of strange, steel-strength leather, covered in a silver filigree. Strangely uncomfortable to look at. Can merge to the wearer’s body at will, leaving its silver tracing embedded into the skin.
>Uncomfortable - While merged into their flesh, the wearer gains a double Intimidation effect.
>Unstoppable - When absorbed, can spread over the wearer’s entire body, covering them in silver filigree. They gain the equivalent of levels 1-4 of Adonis, though prolonged use is profoundly tiring and can be deadly in extreme length.
Mask of the Paragon - A bone and ebony guy fawkes mask, that once per encounter can be worn to grant the wearer the power of an Adonis for seven posts. This increases their strength level and allows them to control the sensations created by their touch.
Non-Weapon Items - Miscellaneous
Imperfect Shard - A shard of orange metal, remnants of the partially forged chestplate Deathcloak was creating upon their entrance, now shattered. No where near as powerful as Deathcloak's armor, it is modifier 2, has an amplifying and truehearting effect on enchantments, and items formed from it repair much more rapidly. Shards are at their longest 1' long and 3" wide as their widest end.
Worn Notebook - A leather bound notebook that looks like it's barely staying together.
>Secrets of the Pit - The words are foreign to any who have not reached level ten in a warrior technique, but once you do it calls out to you. You may choose to gain knowledge of a combat based LSS prismed to the art of your current technique. (This is leveled normally).
Strength Orb - A glassy orb filled with a pulsating peach colored light. When crushed in a person's hand they feel their strength being increased by a level for the rest of the encounter. Can be used in conjunction with Strengthen or Empower but not both.
Pets and Servants
Whaghren - A variant of wurm known to some as a landshark, this infant beast is loyal to Kherren. Its natural home is under the earth and Kherren's link to the earth resonates with it. The beast is 4 foot long and just over a foot wide, with a dangerous maw full of sharp teeth. Its steel strength skin is rough and vibrates in a manner that allows it to practically swim through the earth as it burrows effortlessly. It can sense vibration through the earth, allowing it to see despite the lack of illumination underground.

Stats & Facts
Name: Celia Alexandriane Daedalea Justine Le Borges-Tertius
Titles/Aliases/Nicknames:
Sex: Female
Race: Human (Elexian)--resides in Epicrin
Age/Height/Weight: 26/5'4"/96 lbs.
Appearance: Bespecaled and bookish; a scholarly demeanor that tends to hide her girlish charm. Eyes that are cool pools of blue-green like the serene waters of the Elexian Sea. Pale from too much time spent indoors--mostly in libraries or the dusty halls of a storage dungeon--her skin tone is dream-like, enchanting as freshly fallen snow. A scent of rose water follows her everywhere, a result of an overindulgence in bubble baths. An absolutely elaborate coiffure of mahogany hair, tied into a top bun; two flounces of bangs falling to either side of her forehead.
Apparel: A very rare silver pair of pence-nez, C-bridged reading glasses with half moon frames that Celia absolutely adores; she never goes without them. Always in some different shade of blue, she has a plethora of mage robes, some of thick wool, fine wool, and finer silks. Currently: A deep royal blue robe of silk chiffon, belted with a silver cord. The sleeves flow magnificently, strewn about with starry constellations of the night sky in Autumn. Her foot wear are an extremely comfortable pair of dark leather moccasins, good for travel.
Background: An Elexian noble. Celia is from an old merchant family with heavy political ties that has recently fallen to near extinction. Beloved by her father, she was his world, her Sylvan mother having died of a consuming illness soon after giving birth. Accompanying him on his affairs of state and other ventures, she learnt at his side. Always a quick mind, her childhood was spent much of the time in the presence of adults. So when she became a teenager she was already well versed in political intrigue and counter-intrigue, coupled with a sharp mind for seeing between the lines. Unexpectedly, and to her horror, one day her father was murdered, and it would be her who discovered his body. The work of some assassination plot, the homicide would go unsolved, and young Celia was left alone with guardians who cared little for her. Luckily, she found solace in reading, and proceeded to bury herself in academics and magical study, all the while looking into her father's murder. Shortly before receiving a full scholarship for study with the Mages in Greevan, and leaving Elexia for what would turn out to be for good, Celia had worked out the details and those responsible for the assassination. On her last night in Elexia, a whole estate belonging to a top official in the government burned to the ground, none survived the fire. The next morning Celia was on her way to Epicrin to start her studies; she was 18 years old.

Skills/Attributes
Hey! I Am A Girl, Ya Know?
Though quirky, with her head always buried in some tome or other, and a particular rapid-fire way of speaking over you, as well as herself, her errant thoughts floating to the surface like detritus, Celia is still somehow completely charming. She is naturally more charismatic than an average person.
The Mage As Thinker: She Unnames Them (Awakening)
What we are, that only can we see: Widely considered the most individual thinker and one of the best minds of magical learning to appear in the modern Eastern World. Celia possesses a consciousness bereft of all passivity: it is always, incessantly active. She must reconceptualize everything she learns for herself, at once and immediately. Perhaps cursed with a heightened sensibility, “The ruin or blank that we see in nature is in our own eye,” in a world ripe with magic and the possibility of untold omnipotence, she is all too aware of the passing of things, and their ephemeral existence—and this arbitrary and hypocritical nature of mortality—manifests itself as a crisis of her magical nature, which she fears above all else. Cognitively original even to those in the academic community, her colleagues and peers are too often confounded by her intellectually complex demands. But Celia knows that on all sides we are besieged by perspectives; caged within the learning of our precursor’s foreknowledge: What she seeks is to think and invent her way out of those perspectives, those laws that govern all magic, to gain a new direction as if no one had perceived or set the boundaries before her.
Lvl 1. Another Way to See – Celia's mind magics carry a touch of her consciousness with them, Celia feels a faint trace of any mental effect she uses on another. This allows her to know immediately if a spell is resisted or ineffective.
Lvl 2. Another Way to Feel – Celia's sense of touch is enhanced in such away that she can determine color, taste, and scent using her skin. This has the side-effect of allowing her to focus on that synesthesia when in pain, blocking it out almost entirely.
Lvl 3: A Better Way to Walk - Celia's Mind magics buffer her self confidence and surety, subtly altering her walking gait. When she walks at a brisk speed or holds any sort of tome, notebook or clipboard, Celia generates an aura of mind magic that radiates out to others, granting her a weaker Perception effect based on perceived authority.
Mistress of Divination
Divine Understanding - Celia is able to divine the nature and abilities of items by touch as well as gaining an understanding of the nature of their magical crafting. By touching an enchanted item or potion, she will gain permanent understanding of that type of enchanting or basic potioning.
Phoenix Flare - Celia may draw on the essential magics of a magical item she owns, ripping them out of the item into her hands, where she is able to reforge them into a temporary but far more powerful magical effect or spell based on that item. The item is destroyed, but will be magically recreated at the end of the encounter, powers intact.
Dead Leaves on the Ground - Celia can draw on the essential magics of a magical item she owns and push it into a state of decay. The item rapidly breaks, flakes and shatters until all that remains is a cloud of fragments, shards and flakes. These fragments drift to the ground and create a fifty foot diameter territory in which Celia gains a passive ability based on the powers the item had. The item is destroyed, but will be magically recreated at the end of the encounter, powers intact.[/P]

A Practical Demonstration of Elemental Magicks, by Archmage Saleyani:
A practically bound leather volume containing theoretical explanations for the way in which each magical art produces energy. At the end of each chapter is a runic inscription that allows for a demonstration. By channeling a spell into these runic inscriptions, the reader can produce a directed blast of the energy covered in that chapter.
> Elemental Blast: Once per encounter per art, produces a level 2 projectile in the art of your choice (Counts as a spell).
Deep Jade Circlet - Grants the wearer the Earth Spell Armor.
Athena Charm: Once per encounter the charm can be activated to summon to your aid an owl, who will drop into your hands a special scroll that will grant you knowledge of the level 3 spell of your choice. The scroll vanishes once you've read it and the knowledge of the spell vanishes after 10 posts.
Autumn Stone - Stored the energy from the temple in one of the white stones you recovered from the dark elf interlopers. This allows you to switch to a seasonal form at will.
Weapon
Magical
Mind Dagger: A steel rapier dagger, with a silver basket guard wrapped in navy-colored silk. Parrying a weapon with this dagger instills a subtle suggestion in that opponent’s mind that their weapon is useless. The more you parry any given weapon, the stronger their compulsion is to switch weapons or fight entirely unarmed.
Void-Tracer - A boomerang of navy-dyed ironwood with silver bands. When thrown can either generate a half dozen illusory copies of itself or lock onto a moving target.
Mist Dagger - When thrown, the dagger can explode into a cloud of pollen that irritates the eyes and causes coughing, and will reform in his arm sheath in two posts. (Modifier 3)
Items - Miscellaneous
Curious Dice - A pair of gold and silver dice in a black bag with the words "Good Luck" written on them. One of a handful that grant their barer an invitation to an upcoming exclusive Quest.
Season Stone - A foot cubed block of white stone, imbued with the power of the seasons. Can be carved to unlock darkwood like powers related to one of the seasons at random.
Dusk Ink - A small vial of the fluid contained within the sphere of dusk. Use as you will.
> A number of small pewter mage figurines, one of each of known races. Have mysterious Mind magics that can't be IDed, will have to wait and see.
Personal Library
Celia’s very own collection—compendiums, books, volumes, and personal essays; papers she has slowly built up over time, and what she considers her greatest treasures. While a few may be on her person at any given time, most of them are kept within her shelves at the Mage Spire.
Common Books
The Wildlife of the Eastern World
An Anthology of Country Houses
A Machinists Guide to Building
The Eastern Canon: The Books and School of the Ages
Rare Books
The Faeries‘ Parliament, by Johann Crowley. A peculiar little novel that is very dear to Celia. It is elegantly bound, and it tells the entire sordid history of a family plagued with knowledge of being related to the Fae, how their lives are a long tale in the telling, and that somehow their destiny is tied up and may be connected to Faerie itself.
Numerology and Gramatica, by Archmage Flavia. In beautiful bound blue vellum tooled with gold, it is a mint condition copy of poetical mathmatics, and particular eminence. Flavia was a famed Arithmancer who Celia deeply admires, though considered unfortunately homely, she was a genius without peer in relating magic to numbers. (carrying)
An Easter World Almanac, edited by Valerian Hollis. An out of date edition of a record of the Eastern World, it's a handsome copy written by one of Celia's favorite scholars. The pages that are earmarked for reference are completely innumerable and some of the cover may have faded. University Press. is embossed on the inside title page. (carrying)
An Anthology of Eastern Poetry, edited by Katherine Talbert. A thick anthology of Eastern Poetry that contains everything from soldiers‘ songs to epic romances.
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, by George Lois Borgia. A parabolic short fiction of particular brilliance that Celia suspects was written by a distant relation. The pages have yellowed with age and withered, but it is still in decent condition.
Just A Noblewoman, A rare collection purely aesthetic in value of personal epistles of the most intimate, written by a rather beloved, and notorious noble lady from Sylvan who some would say possessed a rather high opinion of herself, though it was far from undeserved. (carrying)
The Breaking of the Vessels: Commentaries on the Mind and Mortal Essences and their Transference into Non-Living Constructs. Ad astra per aspera, by Celia Le Borges-Tertius. A treatise Celia is currently writing, bound in simple brown deerskin and tied with a cord. It's written in a cypher only she knows.(on her at all times)

Age: 22
Height: 6'1
Weight: 240lbs
Affiliations: Blackguard
Allies:
Enemies:
Accomplishments: Has been kicked out of almost every bar in Vinterheim and is on his way to repeating the task in Elexia.
Appearance: Bobby doesn't exude good manners or fine sensibilities, he is overweight, bearded and usually looks like he could use a shower. Despite being from Vinterheim, his skin is a few shades darker than is typical for that region, approaching more of an olive hue. His hair is jet black and kept just past shoulder length and due to a lack of care is frizzy, almost approaching dreadlock. His beard is of the same color and long, falling down to his chest is a completely unkempt free flowing fashion. His large round face and small, slightly squinty almost black eyes would make him seem even more aloof however with his large build and noticeable stomach he can't help but come across as jovial.
Apparel: Bobby likes to keep his dress simple and dawns no jewelry or other ornamentation. His pants are of a simple cloth material and are a simple grey, usually with a smattering of what could be blood, grease or booze smeared across them. He almost always wears a simple white shirt with similar stains and always has a black leather vest on over it, oddly the vest is usually in pretty decent shape.
Background: Bobby grew up in Vinterheim, the child of two artisans who spent more time on their crafts then with their children. While most of his siblings did well enough in this environment, Bobby was constantly getting in trouble for fighting and spending whatever money he had at bars and brothels. Tired of the constant harassment from his family and Vinterheims authorities, the man moved to Elexia at age 17. While initially he struggled to make it in the big city, Bobby found enough gigs working as freelance "protection" for shipments coming into the ports. It was here that he also discovered a passion for fighting, taking his habitual drunken brawls into what can almost be considered an artform.
Skills and Abilities
Bar Room Brawler
Bobby may look like a big drunken fool whose about to stumble over and pass out at any moment but this couldn't be further from the truth. No matter how much Bobby drinks he is actually quite acrobatic and can easily perform a standing backflip and react quickly to threats around him.
Blackguard

Stats & Descriptions
Name - Arl Lotreab (+ Cee Lotreab)
Race – Practically Human
Age – 13 [12ish at start]
Height - 4’5" [4'3" at start]
Weight: 76lbs
Affiliations – Enforcer (Warriors/Peacekeepers)
Appearance : A smallish pre-teen with light-tan skin, a toned but slender build, a medium-sized nose, and a thin mouth. Her hair consists of many short, straight rainbow-colored strands. The color is natural, but few people assume that. Her eyes are the same color as her hair. She also has a rather elaborate tattoo (Lotreab's Marks) that is visible or invisible as she wills it; invisible is the usual choice.
Apparel : Arl wears brown-green leather armor whose colors have begun to fade from heavy, virtually non-stop use. The rest of her gear is far nicer looking, but that is simply a side effect of her garb being entirely determined by what magical items prove the most functional (and affordable!). Garb like the lionhide cloak with a maned hood and golden paw shaped clasps she wears over her armor, or the golden lion buckle that adorns the silk salmon-colored sash around her waist. Her golden bracers are likewise decorated with lion-themed engravings, as is the golden lion-head clasp holds together the black silk choker that hugs her neck. The enforcer's chitin boots are more subdued in their coloration. An exception to her drab armor is the finely made leather cuirass protecting her upper body. The girl also wears an amulet beneath her armor, although it usually cannot be seen. Her guild/society sigils are worn with pride. A Freepara (Kinda like a parrot, only a bit smarter) with an oddly shaped beak travels with her. She sometimes carries a black backpack as well.

Skills/Weaknesses
Strong for a little girl isn’t very Strong - Arl has below-average strength.
Not fond of dying- Arl has a natural knack for redirecting the momentum of an opponent’s blows, and can contort her body to minimize damage. Melee attacks against her are effectively reduced in strength by one level.
Pointy Side Out- You might wonder how a child who spent most of her life without opposable thumbs would know how to wield a weapon at all, much less be good with one. Fortunately, the magical explosion that turned Arl into a human also gave her a natural talent for fighting with stuff. Swords, spears, fish, sacks of potatoes - you name it, Arl can fight with it.
> Arl is considered to be reasonably proficient with any weapon she fights with.
The voices in my head say I’m fine- Arl believes that her “father” speaks in her mind every now and then. Where he is or why this is the case is unknown - he usually only does this while Arl is semi-conscious or sleeping. He doesn't know anything beyond what is reasonable for him/Arl to know. And Aro was a hermit so his advice is.. of limited use.
Unusual Heritage- For all effects pertaining to/based on race/blood, Arl counts as a Freepara/Human hybrid.
Origami Swords (SOUL BLADES) - A pair of swords made out of folded, multicolored paper. Light, very sharp, and somehow as strong as Iron. The blades are also resistant to heat, flames, and water damage. Able to interact with the spirit world to gain abilities reflecting Arl’s nature.
Augments:
1:
2:
3:
Soul(Warrior Aug): The blades can be blinked to Arl's hands across any distance. Furthermore, Arl's soul blades are surrounded in a paper thin aura of silvery energy. The aura can fold itself around the blades, causing them to shrink away and transform into pure energy diffusing into any part of Arl's body. That body part gains all the origami blade's powers, including the ability to fold and knit itself into a new shape, though this is uncomfortable. The body part also gains the material modifier of the blades. While the blades are with Arl her spells per post are reduced by one.
Lvl 1. Upon wounding a living being, the swords learn the essence of their spirit and can be used to track them.
Lvl 2. The Origami Swords can be phased closer to the spirit realm, allowing them to harm spirits as if they were flesh and bone.
Lvl 3. Paper Armory - The Soul Blades can re-fold themselves into other weapons/shields. This takes a few moments and conserves mass with larger weapons temporarily folding both blades together and possibly having hollow sections. She cannot split the blades into more than two weapons.
Lvl 4. Arl is able to slash a part in the veil between this world and the spirit world that will harmlessly swallow up any projectile that enters it.
Lvl 5. Arl's blade is physically incapable of harming her. If the blade would ever harm her in any way it instead phases slightly into the spirit realm while it overlaps her. This not only protects Arl from having her weapon turned against her but allows for unorthodox avenues of attack.
Lvl 6. Hostility Lens - Arl may at any time imbue her blades with a glowing aura of any hue she chooses, the color scheme of the paper swords shifting to reflect it. This aura will spread to each object or being the swords strike, quickly spreading to envelop an up to 3' area around the point of impact. This aura causes any hostile actions or attacks made by the stricken to phase harmlessly through any living being except Arl. Each of these auras last until the end of the encounter or until Arl desires otherwise.
Lvl 7. Arl may drive her Soul Blade into the ground to create a spectral ring of blades that rise up out of the ground around her, protecting her. These blades have the appearance and effects of her Soul Blade.
Lvl 8. Rainbow Luminary - The blades dissolve in an eruption of harmless, incorporeal light. Some of this light solidifies into a single multi-colored blade of light that has all of Arl’s other soul blade abilities except it is capable of transforming and self-repairing at a vastly swifter rate. The rest of the light combines to form an insubstantial, Arl-sized fenghuang. Any attack that passes through the incorporeal and translucent bird will harmlessly phase through all but Arl. This transformation lasts for 7 posts before the blades revert to their former state, unable to dissolve again for another 10 posts.
Lvl 9. Scrap Festival - Arl may choose a theme and will the Fenghuang to dissolve into a massive, faintly glowing cloud of swirling paper scraps. The bits of paper phase through unwilling creatures and their carried possessions. Arl can choose to control the scraps within 50ft of her, causing them to form whatever she desires as long as it fits the theme. The solidified scraps can handle small details on their own, for example if Arl created a staircase the paper would make it suitably old and rickety-looking for a “shipyard” or exquisitely carved for a “Moonlit Ball”. Undirected scraps and out-of-range scraps form whatever props/structures fit the theme, as though directing a play starring Arl as the hero. Objects/Structures created in this way are solid and have the same modifier as her soulblades. The Fenghuang's transformation lasts for the remaining duration of Rainbow Luminary and cannot be ended prematurely, although the cloud follows Arl if she leaves its sizable area.
Lvl 10. Upon the slaying of a person or spirit, the sword(s) absorbs a a part of their essence. At the end of the encounter it will produce a soul crystal someone on the weapon(s) based on the soul of one of those it had slain that encounter, granting it an ability based on that person's inner spirit. The blade(s) can only contain three of these soul crystals at once, and one must be sacrificed to add a new one after that.
Silent Protector - Thanks to a member of the underworld she... helped out of a tight spot... Arl has gained access to several trainers that specialize in stealth. How she uses that training is her own business.
> While wearing light gear, Arl's footfalls are soundless.
> Arl can hide in shadows and behind objects to greater effect.
> Once per 5 posts, Arl is able to perform an intense movement (running, acrobatic leap, etc) without being detected (within reason. Someone looking right at her will still see her, etc.).

The Golden Palm Fighting Technique - You learn how to channel your lifeforce into your hands when fighting unarmed, altering your aura so that it takes on a visible golden hue around your hands and reacts violently with the lifeforce of others. Blows to other people now are more painful and have a knockback effect. Arl CAN use this ability while wearing her gloves.
Lotreab's Marks - Magical tattoos that can be visible and active or invisible and inactive as Arl wills them. Each color has a separate power. (Primal Paints Set).
>Black
Twelve circles lie on Arl's back, each one a representation of the modern magical arts. From the middle of her back swirl tentacles of varying lengths, their arms slicked in shadowy feathers; the appendages violently bisect each of the twelve rings of Arl's tattoo, a monstrous writhing mass; each one having smaller tributaries of arms branching out like a network of trees, all different sizes and lengths. Eight curve around to her front; two of them moving over each of her shoulders, two under her upper chest, a fifth and sixth near her belly button, and two at the base of her hips. Two tendrils flow about 6" down each of her arms and one flows up the back of her neck; splitting into two tentacles that become thinner as each of them terminates in a trio of black lines on each cheek. A final tentacle moves down her back, splits, and continues on about 6" down each leg.
Powers -When active, Arl's mouth becomes a howling void space, allowing her to store stuff. She also gains the ability to distort and suck in magical/magically created projectiles.

> Appears to others as official paperwork/credentials they are looking for/susceptible to. Handy in gaining entry during investigations. Does not work on the psychically attuned. Well kept secret tool. Even those that know about it usually think they are too smart for it to work on them, so they rarely question it.

When drunk this concoction will wash away all negative effects, from hostile magic to snake toxin. Refills at the end of encounter.
Oathen Heart(Carried) - A knarled bit of wood that looks suspiciously like a human heart. Becomes a clear crystal when an oath is made. Upon the fulfillment of the oath the crystal shatters; its power flowing into the oathmaker to grant them a special ability. The nature and strength of the power depend on the oath and the difficulty of completing it. Note: The difficulty is determined after the fact I.E. how difficult the oath actually ended up being to fulfill. USED, but not yet fullfilled

>> An exquisitely crafted glass figurine of a feepara, orange in color.

Cee Lotreab
A colorful Island bird, a little more than 2' long if you count his rainbow-hughed tail. Cee’s beak is longer and pointier than other Freepara's, whom have parrot-like beaks. Cee also has a number of black, dusky feathers with a purple tinge scattered here and there across his body. The most notable of these feathers is the area around his right eye, which is also abnormally colored for a Freepara. He also wears a tiny golden bracelet on his left leg.
> Twisted Voice: Although Cee can still speak despite the change in beak shape, his voice is now innately magical in nature. This allows him to throw his voice.
> Smarter than the Average Bird: Cee has the mental facilities of a 10yr old boy, making him a genius among freeparas.
Mirth - A Freepara that came to Arl when she performed the ritual of the guide. Mirth is as smart as a normal freepara and has normal beak. Mirth does not usually travel with Arl, instead preferring to fly around the landscape looking for interesting stuff to show her.
> Spirit Echo: Twice per encounter Mirth can scratch someone with his talons, allowing him to take the form of that person's spirit animal instead for the next 5 posts.

Tanya
Name: Alexis Renier
Titles:
Race: Jakari
Age: 24
Height: 5'8
Weight: 140lbs
Affiliations: Inquisitor
Allies:
Enemies:
Accomplishments: Has tracked down a few felons.
Appearance: Despite choosing the path of a law-woman, Alexis is average in height with a build that could be described as medium at best, fit and toned but not particularly muscular. While she is clearly Jakari, as evidenced by her wide and stout face, foot long tail, pointed ears and yellow cats eyes with pitch black irises, her caramel colored skin has almost no hair on it, save for a set of elongated whiskers. The woman's black hair is kept braided and tied together in the back, in a fashion that is vaguely reminiscent, although not quite amounting to, cornrows. While save for her tail she could pass as a dark skinned human from the neck down, her facial expression carries that distinctly mischievous look common amongst the cat people.
Apparel: Alexis tends to wear the best clothing that she can afford. Her pants are a snug grey made out of fine satin and fall down to her cherry colored leather boots. She almost always wears a brown trench coat, double buttoned all the way up and needlessly sashed around the waist. When the situation calls for it, beneath her overcoat one can see a dark navy blue silk blouse, ruffled around the neck. On her left hand is an ornate silver glove adorned with amethyst chain markings, tipped on each finger with a razor sharp ebony point.
Background: Unlike many Alexis did not join the initiates due to some harbored hatred of sentient races nor a desire for world domination but rather as a rejection of the values she grew up around. Raised by devout cleric parents, the young jakari was forced to expose every intimate detail of her life, exposing her earliest crushes and juvenile discrepancies to the public, transforming the entire adolescent experience into an adjudication in which she felt judged and humiliated. As soon as she could pass for of age, the woman went to Sylvan to indulge in all of the excesses that were forbidden to her and loved every minute of it. Alexis believes that law abiding people who don't harm others have the right to live life to the fullest and keep whatever secrets they deem fit from public exposure. After moving from Elexia to Sylvan at 18 the woman has lead what many would call a hedonistic lifestyle, however, it is one that is completely within the confines of the law. After several years of running with a fast crowd she learned the dangers of what can happen when one rejects all limitations and saw many fall victims to the criminal element of the world. For the past few years the woman has sought to strike a balance between the two extremes, living her life to the fullest while trying to stop those who gain pleasure in harming others. While not something she openly admits, her pursuit of justice coupled with her religious leanings have allowed for the indulgence in once hidden sadistic tendencies. While publicly she is a fun loving person who can border on charming in the right scenario, she makes no qualms in her opinion that those who harm others have forsaken their humanity and deserve to be treated accordingly.

Background - Very little is known of Alacritas in the Eastern World, and what isn't known he keeps to himself. He arrived on a ship shining in a brilliant white. He lost most of his minor fortune playing cards at the Flush (playing being an exaggeration; he didn't seem to understand the rules all to well), and has been reduced to using his skills as a swordsman to earn his meals.
The short, fat and stiff sailor eyed the man before him. Tall and fit with lean muscle, as he ought to be himself. “Boarding cost is 60 silver, paid in full and in advance.”
Alacritas considered his belongings. A coat of redwolf hide, a thick silver bracelet lined with three rubies on each of its sides, Falcon's Fury, a golden locket hanging from a necklace of silver threads, a handful of bird seed, compressed dirt clinging to his boots, and the stench of a sweating horse. The bracelet he could do without, as well as the coat. He would never dare abandon Fury in the hands of another, and the locket... A look at the pendant's portrait would anger and upset him, but the thought of leaving it behind infuriated him even more.
As he shuffled through his pockets, the sailor before him noticed the brooch pinned to the exquisite coat. It was bright gold, a sun-in-glory with its uppermost rays forming into three fleurs-de-lis, not unlike a crown. His eyes widened as he looked up at Alacritas. “You're a firstseed...M'lord?” Alacritas shifted his gaze to the sailor, his expression becoming still and cold. He curbed the desire to scold him. As much as he was bothered by it, he was a firstseed. The sailor was appropriate to mention it. The sailor glanced at his gray eyes, confirming his suspicion. “Come aboard, m'lord! No need to charge a firstseed for a voyage. 'tis an honor to have you on our ship, it is,” he exclaimed loudly, for all to hear.
What an upstanding citizen, Alacritas thought bitterly, brushing a fist against his chiseled chin. Alacritas nodded to the sailor as he walked past. Under any other circumstance he would have refused the service, but now he stood tired and hungry, and with little time to spare for semantics.
The ship's captain had provided him with a personal room, though Alec refused to use it. He only spent enough time in the quarters to remove his beard and shorten his hair. His long locks of auburn hair were objects of jealousy across the kingdom, but the need for anonymity greatly outweighed the need for style. Shoulder length would do; he could not part with it fully. He sold his bracelet to a merchant in the neighboring room, and his coat to another. The plump trader noted the sword at the firstseed's waist, narrowing his green eyes. “And I'll pay double for such craftwork. Forged by a smith of Ad, if I'm not mistaken!”
Alec shifted in place, placing a hand on the weapon's hilt, fingers tracing the grooves cut into the grip. With the other hand he felt at the neck of his shirt, finding the shape of the locket beneath.“It is not for sale,” he uttered. The trader raised his bid to triple, with no influence on the matter.
The commoners' cabins were crowded; many a body were sailing to Elexia. Alacritas found this to his comfort, and spent the nights sleeping among the rabble. None here recognized him, nor cared to try. No self respecting firstseed would ever sleep in a commoner cabin. The waste-filled floor dirtied his maroon tunic and matching trousers, almost fading them into a shade of brown. A foul smell filled the cabins, though the stench that Alacritas brought with him was just as unbearable. He regretted not taking a bath in his private room while the opportunity was there.
On the fourteenth day of the journey he was awakened half way through the night. Startled, he reached for Falcon's Fury, half expecting to find it stolen. The blade was still at his side. Across from him was a young child, malnourished and wide eyed. “Sorry to wake you, mister,” said the boy. “But me and my brother, we were trying to sleep. But you were speaking in yours, mister. Louder than usual. We couldn't sleep.”
This seemed to trouble Alacritas. “I was speaking? My apologies, boy. I hadn't realized.” He turned onto his side and shut his eyes, but the urge to slumber had gone from him. He sat up in his cot, searching for the child. “Boy? Boy, what did I speak of?”
“Much of it was mumbled, sir. It sounded like threats. You spoke with anger.”
“And that is all? Nothing else?”
“You mentioned a name. Juliana, I think. Something about her being well, I think.” Before he knew it, Alacritas had leapt from his cot, violently shoving the boy from him. The child fell onto his back, crying in terror. Realizing himself, Alacritas looked away in shame.
“Sorry, boy. I... I lost control of myself.” The child looked at him with a frightened expression, tears welling in his eyes. Alacritas watched him for a moment, then climbed to his feet and left the cabin.
Finding a comfortable spot along the ship's bannister, Alacritas Peregrine Firstseed looked out onto the sea. It shined a deep blue, subtle waves reflecting fractures of the moon. In the distance there was a dark shape forming. Bakara, Alacritas thought. By midday they will be docking in Elexia, and the running would end. He would no longer need fear the Ageless.
Appearance/Apparel - A slender face with no time for laughs, sunken cheeks and shallow jaw, but pronounced chin with a stubble. A low hanging brow gives his gray eyes a slender, angular look, usually set with a look of distrust. Shoulder length auburn hair. Handsome, but void of any boyish looks. He has a muscular build, clearly the product of a tested warrior trained by the elite, and well toned for athletic feats. He dresses in matching tunic and trousers of dark reds, once extravagant, but that time had passed. Above this he wears a shirt of mail bearing the imagery of a maroon falcon on the chest, with its wings spread wide. Black leather boots tightened with a clasped strip above the ankle. Falcon's Fury is always ready at his hip.

Inventory
Weapons
Falcon's Fury - A hand-and-a-half sword forged from Nephach Steel, as strong as dragonbone. Nearly a yard and a half long from pommel to tip. The grip is just over a foot long, encased in rosewood, and etched with flowing curves akin to currents of wind. The pommel, an inch long, is shaped like a falcon's tail. The yard long blade is sharpened on both edges, and the tip tapers into a fine point. The cross-guard is fixed with a pair of quillons (see below).
Total Hardness: 8
Enhancements
:-Homeguide
Falcon's Talons - The quillons of Falcon's Fury are encased in rosewood, branching out 10”, terminating in sharp pommels decorated as a falcon's talons. Each quillon can be detached from the cross-guard about half way down the shaft, pulling out to reveal a stiletto with an 8” blade, thin and four-sided.-The blade seems to have pull on the mind of the winds, able to manipulate them to its advantage. Because winds seem to solidify on its edges, it gains two extra hardness points and hits with one more strength than otherwise. The blade can also seem to "slice" through the air, creating a portal which powerfully sucks everything around it for a few moments.
Armor
Mail Shirt - A steel shirt of mail with a selection of rings painted before being linked, adding the imagery of a maroon falcon to the chest, its wings open wide and claws reaching forward in a threatening manner

Name: Known only to those who've proven trust worthy. Goes by "Her" or other names she makes up on the spot, none of which ever stick.
Race: Human
Age: 23
Affiliations: Infiltrator
Appearance: Slender build, relatively short at 5'3", Long and wavy brown hair, olive skin. Though her appearance is quite fetching, her best feature is her emerald green eyes. She has relied on her looks quite often to get her the things her silver tongue or swift hands could not. She also has a tattoo of her true identity on her back, she has only herself to keep an eye on it.
Apparel: Though her natural beauty is one of her best assets, she more often than not dresses in attire as to not bring attention to her. Sometimes leaving her hair untamed and face dirty. She refuses to wear identifying symbols on any of her clothing unless it is to elude those of her real identity or motive. Life has shown her the best way to stay safe is to stay hidden, and the best way to stay hidden is to be among those she would intend on keeping hidden from.
Personality
It is uncertain to most people (though they rarely know) what her true personality and motives are. She is however she needs to be. She can be kind, or rude, seductive or uninviting, calm or livid. The only true aspect of her personality that is always the same is her sense of humor. She can never hold back her quirky grin to hide her appreciation for a clever joke, and never passes up an opportunity to be silly or sarcastic. She is great at masking her motives or behavior, yet can never convince someone who is not funny that she thinks they are. It has been her downfall at times, but she is working on that.
Background:
When Aconia's daughter reached 13 years of age, all of the town were joyous to attend her birthday celebration. Aconia and her husband, Antoni, had spared no expense for they're daughter. The best Music, Food, and Drink the town had to offer... And plenty of drink there was. Late into the evening, Aconia went to fetch her handsome husband for a dance. He couldn't be found. Aconia kept searching believing she would find him in a drunken sleep from all the drink he had indulged in. She found him, making love to another woman. Her rage heated so quickly and furiously. She raised her hands, the wind became cold. Dark clouds began to appear above her head, and she quickly called upon a bolt of lightning to strike at the other woman, ending her. She called upon the lightning again to strike at her husband, but before she could even muster the words, her slender neck was in his powerful hands, and broken.
Antoni carried his lover into the center of the celebration cradled in his arms. Confessing to everyone(including his daughter) what had happened, and begged to be arrested and punished. His daughter screamed "How could you carry her in here and not your wife? Where is she!?" She left him no time to respond. Confused, and overcome by grief at the loss of her mother she ran, Leaving her home town and never looked back.
Alone and without any coin, she did what she had to do to get by, going from town to town pick pocketing, stealing and cheating. The everyday trials and tribulations she was faced with made the days go by quickly, turning to weeks and months and eventually years. Being able to cast aside her emotions hand memory, she was able to become who ever she wanted, and get whatever she wanted. She learned the best way to treat her grief was laughter. She let go of everything else, or burried it somewhere deep in herself, except laughter... It was her lock to a door that she had no intent on opening ever again.

Multiples of either located in different spots, and the compass will hum more violently and the needle will spin inadvertently in all directions.
Faceless Mask- Infiltrators possess an uncanny ability when it comes to creating a spur of the moment disguise. Once per encounter they may alter their voice, accent, facial expressions, posture, gait and mannerisms to project a completely new identity. The persona created this way needs to be fictional, and can never be perfectly replicated due its improvisational nature. This affect is similar to the Impersonate spell, but entirely non-magical and arguably more convincing at concealing the user's true identity.
Training Armor Coupon - Redeemable at Heart of Steel for a set of gauntlets and greaves, design up to redeemer, that have are made of a special alloy that is hard as iron but much heavier. While this reduces the wearer's speed and agility, they condition the wearer, earning them an additional BP for every 10 they get while wearing them.

Appearance & Apparel - A tall and lean man, around six feet. His hair is dark brown and lank, ear length, brushed to one side. His face is lean, with a thin sharp nose, large brown eyes, dimpled chin and large, full-lipped mouth. Face is marked by a shadow of a thin mustache. He typically wears a pale blue-gray shirt, dark brown plants and a tan leather vest, once fine but obviously having seen better days. Has a silver pendant necklace and bracelet. His black belt bares a steel owl belt buckle.
Personality & Background - Quinn was born the bastard child of an Elexian Councilman and one of his maids, who was quickly fired, discredited and blacklisted as a golddigging liar. He and his mother grew up in poverty, doing whatever they could to get by. At a very young age Quinn, who knew better than most the devastating power of lies and the impotence of the law, became a Witness. He supported his mother until she passed away, and then moved into the Church, eventually becoming the cleric's top Witness. It was there that he met Lumarin and his sister Kaltara. Before long Quinn and Kaltara, an Invoker, were married and had a daughter, Sara. They moved out into the city and were very happy.
But then came the day that Quinn was assigned to lead the team of Witnesses to gather some information on the seemingly law abiding magnate Torbal Lee. When they managed to get their hands on evidence of Lee's real business, slave trading, they just barely managed to escape with it. They were forced to go into hiding before they could pass it on the evidence, Lees men having flooded the streets. When they were finally able to emerge from hiding, they discovered Lee had taken several of his teams family members hostage and when the church had responded things had gotten bloody. Kaltara and Sara had been slain by a gang of Nadrask mercenaries.
Quinn was destroyed. At a church meeting to mourn the losses, Quinn broke the silence and lashed out at Soltara. "Are you satisfied? Was my family's life worth it?" When the guildleader answered the only way he could from upon the white throne, with a truthful "Yes". Quinn quit the Clerics upon the spot, cursing out Soltara and the entire guild. He stuck around Elexia just long enough to see Ephlak'Gul, the man who had apparently led the attack on his family, executed, and headed to Epicrin, where he joined the mages in honor of his late wife. These days he uses his thieving skills for his own good, with no real concern for truth, and spends the rest of his time losing himself in drink and women.

Note: Voli will be done aging in Bear form when he reaches age 18.
Personality & Background - Voli remembers nothing from his early childhood. He doesn't recall his parents or what happened to them. Or perhaps he just tried very hard not to remember. When he was 9, a traveling cleric named Jebidiah found him and saved him from a life of surviving off of squirrels in the forest. However, because he spent so much of his time in animal form, he feels more comfortable as a bear. He continues to follow Jebidiah, fiercly loyal. He has an understanding of how society functions, but sometimes his temper overwhelms him and he acts out in temper tantrums. He means well and wants to do good to make Jebidiah proud. One day on their travels, they found themselves on My'kurr where they came across a group of men stuffing a small girl into a sack. Jebidiah's presence caused the men to abandon their plot and leave the girl Arl (and her bird) in his care for a short time.

Lvl 6. Cry of The Bear - Once per encounter, Voli may infuse the Voice of the Bear with some of the raw power of the curse.

Background –
This is the short version.
Long ago, across the sea, the sun shone brightly on a grove of trees as the birds sang softly in the background. Jebidiah looks around at the bountiful forest near his town, driven to say a quick prayer of thanks to the light above by its beauty. Thanks that his father, known as The Brilliant Flame, raised him to pursue his talent for mending not just people, but machines as well. Thanks for instilling in him the ability to see the Light of faith all around him and never to cower in the darkness of sin. For a moment, he thought he had been praised for his prayer by a bright white light flashing in the distance; he quickly realized this was not the case. His town was under attack. And his father was defending it with his brilliant white fire.
Jebidiah dropped the medicinal herbs he had been gathering and raced back to town. He was young, but knew that it was his duty to defend the Light of truth, just like his father. He could hear the screams of men and women being burned to death. “By the light,” he thought “who would attack us? We have nothing of value and no enemies…” His thoughts were violently interrupted by the visions he saw as he got near the town border; he saw the townspeople themselves ablaze!
“Why father? What madness has consumed you to do such a thing?” He muttered aloud as his neighbor let out his final scream of agony as the fire finished him off. He raced through town passing sights of his friends dead or dying around him as he sought his father. Everywhere he looked he saw the white scorches of his fathers’ flame outlining what looked like shocked or terrified people. It wasn’t hard to find him though, he just followed the screams…
There he stood; at the fountain in the center of town looking down a man retreating from him, trying to back away but hitting the fountains edge instead. “Please, don’t! We never meant for it to go this far! We started doing this just to see if we could…” The rest of his words would never be heard, for his father had struck him down with brilliant fire. Lying there outlined in white scorch marks, his face frozen in fear, he seemed almost sad.
“FATHER! What have you done?”
“My son, I am sorry you had to see this. I tried to take care of this in every other way, but you have to believe me when I say they had to be purged…” His father had said his last words. For with that he fell over onto the fountain, turning the water red with the blood that flowed so freely from his many wounds. As Jebidiah came closer, he saw that none of the wounds looked like they came from any weapon of man. He grabbed his father and shook him, weeping for his lost friends and his lost father. As he held his father a note fell out of his pocket:
With this he set out from his village after burying his father. He chose to travel the lands in search of places that need him. He started by helping a nearby village by being their priest and healer. They loved him there, for he brought with him a passion for life and the Light that few others here could match. After some time, though, he felt as though he needed more and left.
Expand for backstory adventure
Upon hearing this enough times, they began to pressure Jebidiah into speaking to both families at the same time, perhaps even ending this feud. Eventually he gave in.
After this speech, the families considered his words. They would not instantly know peace, but they would now consider peace at least. And so he left, sure that his presence would provide no further assistance here.
He wandered for a long time offering his services as a medic to any who needed it. He cared not for which sides he helped because with every patient he learned more about the way people think. Many of them he got to see the light, but others would not listen. He spent this time trying to find his purpose in life. And so his dedication would be set. He would travel the lands and bring to all to the Light, one way or another.
Possibly the most interesting thing that happened on his travels, was the day he met his friend Voli. While walking through a clearing in spring time, Jebidiah found a polar bear cub. Not sure why the bear was there or how it had gotten there, he approached. “Hello?” he said. He was surprised when the bear turned its head and said “Hi, got any food?” Perplexed, Jebidiah tossed out some jerky for the bear. Voli raced forwards, what would be a terrifying vision was diminished by the young male voice saying “Wow thanks!” After he devoured the food, Voli claimed “Wow, haven’t eaten in a while. Can I get some more?” “Uh, sorry. No more with me. I got some more back in town, if you wanna follow me.” And after that Voli followed me through my adventures. Learning about the Light and the glory of life as they went.
Before he finally left to go to a new place and help more people, he paid a visit to his fathers’ grave. Unexpectedly though, he found something on the tomb. He found a small leather bag with the initials J.B. on a small plaque. Inside he found a small supply of medical supplies. He did not know where this came from, but he knew it was meant for him.
Upon reaching the new lands, he saved a small female child-bird (Arl) from some less reputable people. After which he helped her meet the old man who helped her join the Peacekeepers. They remain good friends.

Name Hartigan de la Valse
Age/Weight/Height 22/ 149 lbs./ 5'9"
Appearance Somewhat gaunt, but not too frail, Hart stands at a decent height among human men. His face is irregularly handsome, though sharp with high cheekbones. His eyes are a bright gold, seemingly metallic. His hair, walnut in color with grey streaks throughout, is combed, but left with some volume (in a Captain America way). His nose is a bit sharp, but he makes do. His lips curl into a thin line, though he remains oddly amiable. His body is lithe, toned but not overly muscled. He has a tattoo covering his shoulders of an odd runic pattern or schema. He does not talk about it. His left arm is scarred, almost seemingly burnt. There is a terrible shadow clasped to his arm, almost as if it will eat him at any moment. It does not frighten him.
Apparel Crisp but flexible white button-up with a high collar. The buttons are made of a blackened gem, subtly sparkling in all lights. The collar reaches up to his jaw, shielding his neck from daylight. Midnight colored trench coat, with a similar high collar as the shirt and military epaulets. It has glimmering specks, almost as if they were stars. He keeps the belt of the trench tied behind him. Left shirt sleeve is rolled up. The trench sleeve is folded back and pinned. Dark navy slacks, held up with a black leather belt marked with a tarnished silver buckle. It’s difficult to make out what was on the buckle before time and weather wore away at the silver. Slacks are tucked into mid-calf black leather boots. Three silver rings at the top of his right ear. Onyx stud earrings. Golden signet on his right hand, marked with the crest of House Valse, a stylized V with thorns.
History Hartigan crossed the veil of worlds through an old ring of stones, woken by a stolen relic. He seeks a servant of his, an apprentice who fled his service when the price of power came due. As he entered this world, this realm of Epic heroes, he found that his darkness had fled. He shed the majority of his powers to gain entry, though he found different magics clinging to him. His arm, once injured in a terrible battle against a demon, now seeps a similar hatred and darkness, growing as Hartigan grows, much to his liking. He seeks his apprentice to recover his lost possessions.
Skills and Abilities
Unbound, Unbidden, the Night Goes On: Hart may not join any guilds or societies as they and he shun each other.
The Sea at Storm: Hart’s presence is unsettling. Upon meeting Hart, the disconcertion cannot be easily attributed.
A Moonless Night: Hartigan’s spirit takes the form of a vile creature. This soulbeast feeds on the spirit energies that surround and emanate from Hartigan, growing into something sinister.The creature writhes around Hartigan’s arm, mostly composed of pure shadow. It is wrapped tightly, almost tethered to him, rooted around the burn mark which has long since scarred over. From most perspectives, it looks to be a serpent, though on closer inspection, its body bears many tentacles wrapped around the arm. Its head has a gaping maw with many small jagged teeth; when staring directly at the open mouth, the teeth seem to move, almost as if it were a grinder. The soulbeast has piercing onyx eyes, almost as if it were subtle light from a moonless night, glimmering from Hartigan’s arm.
Level 1: The soulbeast can flatten itself into a gauntlet of solid shadow around Hartigan’s arm. The fingertips are fanged, and it bends almost with the quality of leather. It speaks lies.
Level 2: The shadow beast writhes furiously when it draws close to a foe. When Hartigan seizes a foe with the gauntlet, the beast lashes out with everything it can, each lash and hiss amplifying the seized target's fear.

Height/Weight:6'2"/212 lbs
Appearance: Tall and reasonably muscular, with a smooth olive complexion and dark hair, graying significantly all over, cut short and parted on the left. His eyes are a violent blue, and his mouth, whose lips are perhaps a little large, is obscured by a thick and bushy moustache without any of the signs of age which have struck the rest of him. Powerful, rough hands curiously bereft of any scars, a wide chest, and moderately athletic arms and legs.
Apparel: A three-piece suit of navy worsted flannel, cut fashionably but still wide enough to preserve his range of movement, purchased new but quickly showing wear characteristic of the road. Underneath a white shirt, worn without a tie, somehow always sparkling white and new. On his feet are smooth, shiny dark brown derby boots, moderately pointed but blunted at the ends, with captoes and double leather soles, which obviously cost quite a lot when they were new.

Level 5: Lucian's body seeks to maintain its perfection, shaping his flesh to superficially close any wounds or breaks while they heal.
Level 6: Lucian's body's efficiency is optimized. Effects that would weaken or fatigue him do nothing. His maximum potential running speed increases to 30 mph and can be maintained indefinitely.
Level 7: Lucian's body automatically resists all attempts to harm it, reacting to attacks by reinforcing his flesh into a subdermal armor.
Level 8: If Lucian can observe the use of a physical ability on three seperate instances during an encounter, he can mimic that technique for the remainder of the encounter. He may only mimic two abilities at a time and must purge one from muscle memory before analyzing another.
Level 9: Should someone cleave away a part of Lucian's perfection, it will grow back in time as good as new. Time to regrow back missing parts depends on the level of dismemberment. His heart and brain need to be connected for the effect to trigger.

If it does, it gains for the next three posts a physical buff or ability determined by the art of the projectile . Can only catch 5 projectile attacks per encounter. (5'6" tall, 7'10" long in primal form, humanoid form remains unchanged in size)
Level 8: The kitsari grows a third tail. These tails can be controlled with prehensile precision and extend out up to three times their normal length. The kistari can gain a physical trait or skill of anyone who these tails ensnare, sharing it with you.

Sheathed at his side in a scabbard of brown leather and brass similar to that of the sword.
The Chorus - A pair of brass knuckles, well-worn.
Wooden Staff - Tall staff made out of a dark, richly-grained wood, topped with an elaborate carving of a nymph slowly emerging from the wood. Has the properties of a sapphire imbue, allowing it to be made as stiff or flexible as Lucian desires at will, without the presence of any actual sapphires.
Armor
Security Policy - Underneath his shirt is worn a thin, form-fitting bronze plate over his chest and lower back, just enough to deflect a casually thrust dagger.

- As a champion of Elexia you have gained a degree of fame among the good people of the Home of the Wayfarer. From the snooty merchant-nobles to the filthy dock trash they share a mutual hatred with, you are the only other thing they agree on as good besides the Elexian Forceball Team and tea. You are great.
- Elexian Champions have no more important issues weighing their minds than what to wear, where to eat, when to sleep, why to bathe and how to clean up this awful mess. That is why Elexian Champions have Valets. Your Valet is Waterbury, an ageless man with the manners of a prince and the discretion of an angel who will never speak a word out of turn, will accept any order with dignity and grace, and will sponge bathe you should it be required.
- The Finest Things - Elexia has its own way of doing things, and its own way of treating its champions. Namely, the best way possible. The Home of the Wayfarer likes to send it its Best and Brightest off with an Elexian tradition known as the Fortune's Feast, honoring the widely held belief that if you are going to risk your life, you might as well get some nice food out of the deal. Before doing on any sort of quest, you (and up to two guests) may take part in a sumptuous meal at the prestigious Bai Hai Club. Over the course of said feast, each character will make menu choices in a manner not unlike using a Loot List, creating a unique meal. These choices will combine together to give the character a unique boost that will last for the duration of their next quest.
> Eye for Talent
His experiences during the events of The Run taught Herschel a very valuable lesson: Hiring someone else to do all your fighting for you is amazing and also great. As a result, the merchant has developed an even keener eye for the diamonds in the rough, giving all mercenaries he hires boosted abilities.
> Richard. Just Richard
There was something off about the Richard known only as 'Richard'. He's dead now, and you shouldn't have to worry about him any longer, but nevertheless you can't help but feel like you're being...watched? Like there is something still out there, biding its time? It might just be paranoia, but you know one thing. If anything does come up, you intend to be ready. Screw you, Richard.
> Number One Fan
Having witnessed your feats of derring-do and the way you exploded that one guy first hand, you now have a dedicated fan in Galla. She is now following your adventuring career with interest, and after events of note may send you a letter and potentially even a token of esteem. (Gala wrote down the wrong address. She writes the letters to Lumarin, but Herschell receives them. Herschell has not yet seen fit to remedy this.)

Appearance/Apparel/Background
Pain surged through Servius's head as the rock struck his temple. “Get back into your cave, drow,” the children shouted in a chorus. The dark elf spat a cuss in their direction as he continued across the foliage laden ground. The taunting lessened as the younglings disappeared into one of the titanic Greevan trees.
“I swear to Regus, someday I'll show the fáviti a shade of respect.” Servius felt at his temple, searching for any marks of a bruise. His dry, milk-colored skin didn't seem harmed in any way. Relieved, he tucked his silky ebony hair, falling just shy of his neck, behind his tipped ears. He regularly fixed his hair when becoming agitated.
Up ahead loomed Svart, the tree housing the Mage's Guild. A large stump was planted about thirty feet away from the guildhall's entrance, a wooden hatch fitted to its hollowed surface. Servius pulled it open and climbed inside, lowering into his clan's chambers. He was growing tired of the descent into darkness; he could never feel comfortably at home underground, despite having lived there for as long as he could remember.
Pulling a metallic bauble from the pockets of his brown trousers, the dark elf fixed his shirt. The shirt button-up shirt, cobalt blue, hung open over his chest. The left sleeve reached the entire length of his arm, terminating in a broad open cuff. The right sleeve finished before the elbow, the threads on the fringe suggesting that it had been cut short. He lowered the bauble onto a table at his side, and found a place for himself in an adjacent chair.
His father, sitting in the corner, sighed in his usual heavy tone. “Servius, Annar leikfang? Heppinn fyrir þig höfðingjar koma aldrei á gólfið. Þeir myndu að skammast sín.” A lifetime servant to the Second Council, he only ever saw things from their perspective. His tasks held no dignity in them; the Elvish Lords would commonly hand him degrading chores for their own amusement. His father never cared that he served for their amusement, always imagining himself to be a high-serving drow. There was some truth to this, as no drow served the Lords at a higher level than he.
Servius rolled his pine green eyes. It wasn't the first time his father talked down to him. But something about this incident, as casual and inconsequential as it was, seemed to trigger something in Servius. Snatching the bauble, he raised himself and climbed out from the hatch, heading towards the city gates.

Once deployed, they can be used as a Katar, and must be reloaded by hand. At the axis where the blades meet is a small hole, perfectly fitted for one of Servius's batteries.
