Age and time spent in the sun have left his skin weathered and wrinkled around the eyes. He has a trio of tattoos on his throat, and each of his wrists that are of two crossed pistols. He is wearing black pants, with leather chaps, and long black boots with silver riding spurs, a black shirt and brown leather vest, and a black wide brimmed hat. He wears two pistols holstered, one on each hip and he has two underarm holsters the left one holds another pistol and the right one is currently empty, A blunderbuss and a rifle are strapped across his back in a holster that gives him access to them by reaching over his right shoulder.
Personality
Edge is gruff and not very personable. He has no tolerance for disrespect of ladies, or himself. He has no code of rules to live by, and makes his way through life doing what he chooses, whenever he chooses to do it. He is very stubborn and once he has his mind set on something it's hard to change it.
Background
Edge grew up in a small town on Nadra. His father was a hard man, a down on his luck pirate who took a little too well to drinking, and used to beat him and his mother. When he was 16 his father literally beat his mother to a pulp, he immediately went to the local store and purchased his first gun and went home and executed his father. After the murder he knew that he could not stay in the town. He packed up his things, and began making a living, as a wandering mercenary, going from small town, to small town, picking up jobs to get the money to buy what he needed, and when he couldn't find work, he took what he needed, often at gunpoint, from those more fortunate than he was. He has finally decided to wander into the larger cities seeking greater challenges, and greater rewards, hoping to avoid petty thievery.

Stats & Facts Name - Ulrich Serpent-Tongue Race - Kindir Age - 22 Height - 6' 1" Appearance - Ulrich has the fiery red hair of his father, pulled back into pony tail for battle, but hanging down past his shoulders when performing for a crowd. His features are sharp and angular, drawing attention to his steel blue eyes, not inviting but authoritative. He is as lithe and tanned as one would expect from any kindirin warrior, and bears a small collection of scars on his arms. Apparel - A sleeveless rouse hide jerkin protects Ulrich's chest while displaying his strength. Loose cotton trousers protect the warrior's modesty without restricting his movements. Snakeskin boots and belt support him in his travels. He carries a blade slung on his left hip, an elongated satchel on his right. His left hand half way up his forearm his covered in a silver scale gauntlet, with silver mail wrapped around his palm and fingers. Background - Ulrich was born among Ash's warriors, within the Crag Colosseum itself, screaming at the top of his little lungs as his father inspected him. As Ulrich grew up he became fascinated with stories, listening to every tale the Brothers and Sisters would tell over drinks. He started memorising the tales himself, and soon enough the young child was given the honour of telling some of the warrior's stories for them. Noting his son's fascination with fanciful and the exaggerated gifted him a book of kindirin proverbs. Ulrich devoured the book and took the meaning of his father's gesture well, he immersed himself in the teachings of his people, alongside his martial training and eventually committed every proverb to memory. One evening he corrected his father on the use of a proverb after a sparring match, since then their sparring matches came to include ethical and philosophical discussion in unison with physical blows. Once he was much older, Ulrich found himself compelled to leave Ash and explore the rest of Bakara. In time he found that in addition to his training his knack for telling tales was a commodity he could tap into as well, he joined the Bard's Guild and officially became a wandering Errant. Affiliation - Errant (Bard/Warrior)
Skills and Abilities Blood of the Kindir - Ulrich is a born and bred kindirin warrior, possessing the strength and knowledge of his people. His strength level is Strong. Teller of Tales and Truths - Ulrich has always been fascinated with stories, enraptured by anyone who could weave a good tale with only the power of their words. It was only natural that once he struck out on his own he developed his own talent and joined the Bard's Guild. Ulrich has all the benefits of Bard's guild membership, including the ability to create spell songs and receive gifts of gold from any fans he might have.
>>Natural Story-Teller - Ulrich has the natural ability to adjust his intonation and cadence to make his spoken words resonate with others. Upon joining the Bard's guild he developed this knack into an actual skill.
>>Dedicated Harper - Upon joining the Bard's Guild, Ulrich studied their woodwind techniques and selected a harmonica as his chosen instrument.
>>Errant's Grace - Upon becoming an Errant, Ulrich was taught how to incorporate his battle agility into something more elegant. He is able to dance. Intuitive Analysis - Ulrich has trained from a young age to not allow any detail to escape his notice, his fighting style relies on focus and analysis. [29 BP]
>>Level 1 - Nothing escapes the steel trap that your mind has become, you can recall the specific details of everything that happens during a fight.
Performance Pieces Spoken Word - Ulrich's spoken performances, ranging from telling tales to wise proverbs and clever turns of language.
>>Witty Maxim - A short and amusing bit of speech that, while making no actual sense, is phrased and intoned precisely to seem logical and impressive. Creates a charisma effect that lasts for the rest of the encounter.
>>Troll Logic - A twisting, curving, disorienting argument that fills a target with self-doubt.
>>Gwendolyn My Dear - A moving ballad, mostly spoken-word with woodwind accompaniment between verses, in D minor. Speaks of the love of Gwendolyn and her man, an elf who went to war for Greevan and met an unfortunate end, and her ensuing grief and suicide. Has an inciting effect upon those who hear it, ally and enemy alike, making them fiercer and more determined, but also more at times erratic and emotional. Woodwind - Woodwind performances, played with Ulrich's harmonica.
>>Phantom Melody - An eerie, haunting piece that ripples the air around a target, making their features and exact movements visually indistinct.
>>Through The Fire - A fast, driving song on Ulrich's harmonica, it wards an attacking target against all pain, fear and doubt, boosting their reserves of stamina to fight through whatever it thrown at them no matter what. Does not actually prevent any damage or injury, so the target may be spurred on to victory or too blind to their impending doom. Dance - Physical performances, using the body to entertain visually.
>>Flashdance - A flashy, impressive bit of footwork that is rather flashy and eyecatching, drawing attention.
Weapons and Armour Serpent's Fang - A gila-bone baselard dagger hard as steel, one foot long with a blackened wood hilt. The blade is scored along either side, preventing it from getting slick with blood and the hilt is carved to resemble a snake's mouth, with the blade coming out from it and small emerald for an eye. This weapon was a gift from his father upon venturing out on his own.
>>Emerald Imbue - The blade can be made to exude a sickening plant toxin. Serpent's Grasp - An intricate gauntlet of bronze-tough silvery metal, lined with amethyst and bearing the power of the mind. The fingers and palm are composed of a silver mail, the rest of the gauntlet of segmented plates in the style of scales with glints of violet visible below.
>>Level 1 - The touch of the gauntleted hand has a charisma effect. Bewaker's Shield – An eelskin glove with a coral plate on the back of the hand. Ulrich received this artifact of creation from the Cradle of Life. It is one of twelve such items, supposedly predestined to be involved in the fate of Bakara.
>>Reinforce - The gloves can create a thin but strong layer of sealing, binding coral to grow over a surface where you touch it, provided it isn't moving or resisting. Can be used to bandage, reinforce, seal or bind.
>>Greater Shield - Can hold the gloved hand, plate outwards before you, to create a wall of coral anchored to the ground before you, 6” thick, 4' wide and as tall as the wearer. Only one of these walls can be maintained at a time.
Items and Accessories Death Organ - A steel harmonica, dented and worn from years of use. Embedded deeply into the upper most plating of the mouth organ is the fang of an ancient chimeric abomination.
>>Dance of the Dead - The music of the harmonica can exhibit influence over dead organic matter. The extent of his control and size/amount/portion of the matter controlled vary from target to target for a variety of reasons, from warping to influencing movement to outright animation or reanimation. Basically up to event runners discretion. Artist's Tools - A collection of quills, inks, charcoals and pastes for use in writing and illustrating Ulrich's books.

Stats & Facts Name - "Allona" Race - Jakari Age - 24 Appearance - Standing at around five and a half feet tall, Allona is a rather attractive Jakari woman with a thin layer of silver hair covering her entire body. The woman is curvy and has a sinister look about her face, exaggerating almost all of her cat like features. Her eyes are yellow with black pupils and her silver hair is kept braided, extending halfway down her back. The woman wears a tight brown leather corset which is covered by a powder blue blouse and a long navy blue jacket with black buttons going from top to bottom. She typically wears grey pants and no hat. She has a jade pendant necklace and a gold earing going through the cartridge of each at like ear. Background - Allona never knew her parents and was passed around from orphanage to orphanage as a child. With Elexia being the place that it is, namely no place for a child to grow up, the young woman often had to fend for herself. While her level of supervision varied from abusive quartermasters who barely had time to look after half the children they had to the strict confines of the clerics, the girl was often kicked out after short stays, in large part to her self sufficiency. Refusing to abide by rules that would see her either starve or get robbed on the mean streets of Elexia, the young jakari adopted brutal tactics of self defense, often tormenting those who started fights with her to set an example. In this world for no one other than herself, Allona quickly set her own guidelines and set out on her own path, believing that those who harm others deserve the pain she so enjoys inflicting, having surrendered their rights as humans while attempting to make the world a better place for those who break no laws, wanting to protect them from physical harm and the mental anguish she associates with religious zealots and the slavery that comes from having to have every facet of ones life known. Allona is the name the woman took upon joining the initiates, her birth name is known by few. Affiliation - Inquisitor
Skills and Abilities Cat Like Reflexes: Allona is fast on her feet, giving her slightly heightened reflexes and quicker leg power to lunge out of dangers path. Ruthless (Minor Initiate Ability): Through practice and study the woman has come to learn how to inflict the most pain possible when given the opportunity. While this largely comes down to creativity during interrogations, any shot landed on an unsuspecting foe will also be more painful than usual. Soul Gaze Feared: Being both a peacekeeper and an intiate cause most to be uneasy or anxious around Allona, has mixed results.
STEELHORN RAM - A young tan billy with oversized metallic looking horns and hooves. Will grow into a large, fearless ram. 6" tall and 8" long.

Stats & Facts Name – Misty Wydberg Race – Human/Fenette Demon Hybrid Age - 21 Height - 5' 5" Appearance – Clearly taking after her Fenette mother, Misty is a lithe and curvaceous woman with long silvery hair. Her skin, although pale and luminous, is more human-like in feel and her eyes are gunmetal grey instead of the icy blue associated with Fenettes. Apparel – Misty typically wears a white camisole beneath the plunging V neckline of her electric blue blouse. The silk blouse is sashed and bell-sleeved, the vibrant color nicely contrasting her muted charcoal-colored trousers. Her boots have clearly been designed for long-distance travel. She often wears a midnight blue cloak. A leather voidsatchel is perpetually at her side. Affiliations – Artificer (Mage/Machinist) Background - *Ahem* "Long ago in the city of Sylvan there was a beautiful Fenette demon who fell in love with a kind-hearted human gravedigger. Their family members tried to pull them apart but they eloped! They overcame every challenge, resisted every foe, and even convinced Grandma to quit hounding them! (Trust me, that’s legendary). Eventually they worked everything out and started a family at the edge of town where they live today. Then they had me! Everything was perfect until my.. powers… started to develop. I don’t like talking about this but you’ve been so nice hearing me out like this..so..um.. you know how a fennette demon can slightly alter their personality and looks based on the emotions they feed on? My power is a little like that, except I can’t control it and the personality alteration becomes stronger over time. If..if I stay near anyone for too long I fear.. I think “I” will disappear. Even my parents…even you. It was nice meeting you though! I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future! I travel all the time!
Achievements:
> Found the Book Of Knowledge!
> Helped free a bound divinity of Chaos!
> Let a trader talk her into buying a very dangerous elixir.
Other stuff
Skills and Abilities
Cursed Hum of the Universal Thought – Misty has inherited the emotion feeding abilities of her mother, but it’s all messed up!
Positive(can be shared with linkmate)
> Misty can feed on emotions via prolonged physical contact, mentally exhausting the subject while giving her sustenance. This ability takes a few minutes and, although pleasurable to the victim, is easily resisted. The 'taste' and amount of sustenance depends on the strength and type of emotion(s) the victim was experiencing. Negative(is not and cannot be shared with linkmate)
> Even when not actively feeding Misty picks up the emotions of everyone within the general vicinity of her, giving her a headache in very large groups. This ability is not fine-tuned, and is usually a muddled background hum unless one emotion is being felt VERY strongly. The headache usually recedes once a sync occurs.
> Large group or not, Misty will begin to “sync” with an individual if near them for any significant length of time – or a random one if more than one individual qualifies (IC random – OOC MK can choose). This can take hours or minutes (Again, only random IC). Misty more strongly feels their emotions and starts picking up their quirks. Misty usually plays up these quirks into all-out caricatures because she is frankly terrified of subtle changes to her personality. Overtime her looks begin to change as well and she starts to become more like the person although it would take a long time (more than a few days) for her to be more like them than like herself. The synced individual may or may not feel any different at the discretion of whoever is controlling them.
>> Misty cannot sync to her linkmate in this fashion. This means that he is, in truth, the only person she can safely be around indefinitely. Misty obviously doesn’t know this.
Tarnishing grasp - Although nowhere near as strong as an actual Fenette demon’s touch, metal objects Misty frequently come into contact with tarnish over time. This doesn’t happen quickly enough for combat unless she is fighting some kind of clockwork… glacier. She usually wears gloves and the like when working with her machinist devices.
Noticeable lack of telekinesis and emotion-controlling powers – Misty didn’t inherit these from her mother, it seems.
Fantastic Cooking Skills – What? Misty didn’t plan on becoming a traveling adventurer before her terrible power matured. Some people like the idea of professional chefdom. You should try her french onion soup, it’s delicious.
Mediocre skills one would expect someone that tries not to depend on others for anything would have – Including but not limited to “Sowing skills that are okay but not anything to write home about”, “Won’t die horribly in the woods”, and the ever popular “knows how to make fire”.
> Linked to Christov Demain. The link (whose true nature she does not know) terrifies Misty, as she considers it some aspect of her condition that follows her all the time now. Even when she's alone. It hasn’t consumed her yet.. and SHE WON’T LET IT!

WildGear Savior – A summon granted to Misty via a pact with a guardian spirit that self-summons and self-maintains whenever Misty is helpless and unable to defend herself. Misty cannot otherwise call upon it. The summon remains until Misty is safe [or dead].
The Savior has a bear’s body with a Gorilla's limbs sewn onto it, its joints ripped out and replaced by clockwork springs and gears. The Bear-rilla bleeds slowly from its joints, including a plainly metal spine that pokes out of its back at regular intervals. Its stomach cavity has been hollowed out and replaced with a storage area.
>The savior’s flesh as tough as leather.
> Crafter’s Armory: Inside its body is a Swiss-army-knife of machinist tools, such as screwdriver, hammer, saw, that sort of thing.
> Sealed Mind: The Savior's mind is not effected by mind influencing/altering effects and abilities that would be effected by its mental presence act as though it isn't there.
Inverted Bond - Misty's affinity for the world around her can be partially reversed, allowing any of her summonings to share her senses, allowing them to better orient themselves and potentially alert them to dangers.
Spells and Magics Mind
1 - Retain - Anchors a memory or thought in your mind, ensuring you do not forget it or be made to forget it unless you will it. Does not need to be maintained, but retaining too many things at once can lead to confusion. Misty “Retains” a written description of who she is at all times lest she forget.
2 - Veil - You can't be directly targeted by spells for the next two posts. Cast only once per encounter.
3 - Self-Aware - Passive. You are instantly alerted to any attempts to alter your thought processes or emotions. Does not prevent the effect, just makes you aware of them to try and deal with the influence.
4 - Daze - Disrupt a target's mind, dazing and disorienting them.
5 - Summon Mind Aspect - Summon an owl with feathers of silver and eyes of gold. Its gaze, if met, is mesmeric.
Spirit(From Link with Christov)
1 - Soothe - Calm the emotions of another, the more intense the emotions, the less effective this spell is.
2 - Vibe - Send out a wave of spirit energy that can sense the general direction of any hostility aimed at you.
3 - Hado - Release a blast of spirit energy from your hand, a baseball sized projectile that hits with the force of a punch. Color depends on your mood.
4 - Inner Champion - Misty grows taller, lither, and resembles her mother even more. Her telekinetic talents manifest in aura that acts like leather armor, stone-hard around her hands and feet, and a homeguide effect on all her possession. She cannot cast or maintain other spells or summonings as long as this is in effect or for a post afterwards.
5 -Hado-Ken - Release from your hand a projectile forged from your life-force. For Misty this projectile is translucent silver in the shape of her head, hair trailing behind it like a comet tail. It hits with the force of a very strong punch and marks then with an emotional link to Misty that accelerates the effects of her emotional feeding.
Force (From Link with Christov)
Empower - Magically augment the force created by your movements, effectively increasing your physical strength level by one. You can only have one instance of this effect placed on your body at once, or else the unnatural stress it puts on your body will cause severe injury
Weapons Magical
> Eternal Crossbow – An ironwood crossbow capable of secreting sap that hardens into a bolt about as quickly as reloading a normal crossbow. The bolts deteriorate after about an hour. The bolts created by the crossbow gain the benefits of any enchantments on the crossbow itself.
> Mind Dagger - A steel rapier dagger with a silver guard and navy silk wrapped hilt. Parrying a weapon with this dagger instills a subtle suggestion in that weapon's wielder's mind that the weapon is useless. The more you parry any given weapon, the strong the compulsion to stop using it and switch to another weapon or fight unarmed. Misty is very careful to not touch the metal bits, having the guard wrapped in silk as well as the hilt.
> The Cleaver -An enchanted self-cleaning crystalline cleaver with a finely-crafted ironwood grip. Designed for cooking, not killing. But it is passable at the latter.
Mundane
> A wooden staff.
Non-Weapon Items - Accessories > Traveler's Cloak(Worn)- A midnight blue hooded cloak made of thick, dense wool. Impervious to wind and rain, and also to Water-based magic. Also allows the wearer to blend into the shadows undetectably, even deeper than a shroud spell.
> Voidstachel(Worn)
> A Nice Coat - A belted half-trench jacket with a fur lined hood for colder ventures.
> Miscellaneous Traveling Clothes
Non-Weapon Items - Miscellaneous Magical Magenta Cooking Gear: A set of self-cleaning crystalline cooking implements with ironwood grips. A gift to her from her parents. Includes knives, but aside from the cleaver Misty would have to be desperate to try using any of them in battle.
Magic Tea Cup: - Pour in an Herbalist Tea and it will refill with it at the beginning of each encounter. It is possible to fill it with a new tea thereafter change the type. Autumn Spice Rack
>The spice rack allows anyone who eats meals prepared with its contents the ability to gradually weaken plants and wooden structures with prolonged contact. In addition the spices can be used offensively by throwing them into a person's face. The experience is as unpleasant as it sounds, prompting coughing and tears. Darkwood Salad Bowl
>The bowl is infused with storm magics that cause the actions of the tongs to be reflected in the greater world. Once per encounter, Misty may use the tongs to perform the motions of tossing a salad in the bowl for up to four posts. For that period of time a single target is buffeted by bursts of upward wind that mirror those actions, distracting, harassing and potentially lifting them for the duration of the effect.
> Chronicler - A magic book detailing the history of the person it was written for. Unlike the non-magical texts in the water lock area, this book continues to expand and update itself with the original owner's tale till the day they die. Or possibly beyond it, if their ghost does anything page worthy. This particular book was written for Misty, but it hasn't settled on a design yet. > Erin's Boon - A small silver coin, on one side depicting Erin smiling and winking at you, on the other side an engraving, somehow, of the shapeless and formless chaotic void. Grants the skill "Touch of Moonlight." Touch of Moonlight - The world may be a messed up, effed up, chaotic place, but somehow you know how to find your place in the scheme of things a little better than most people. Things tend to go well for you, so that random chance events are tipped just that little bit toward your side. You're a little lucky to be alive, and you can feel it.
> Transference Seal
Mundane
>Machinist Toolkit - Contains a hammer, nails, screws, a screwdriver, pliers, wire, bolts, nuts, a crankdrill, grease, rags, oil, and a soldering stone that can be used to slowly heat metals for bonding. She presumably has non-metallic versions of these items.

Fear of the Eye - Being an Initiate carries with it a natural paranoia of Re'as by the public. They automatically feel a distrust around him, and are more guarded, unless they have a personal reason to trust him.
Oath of Dominion - Re'as is oath bound to keep the church's secrets. Lying to do so is permitted but he is required to keep all secretive or otherwise discovered information pertinent and vital to the church hidden from unworthy and non-Initiate eyes. Likewise, concealing, hiding, or keeping perilous secrets from the church or spilling vital secrets is possible but the consequences of doing so are grave.
Bakara's Most Wanted - Access to special Peacekeeper only Bounty lists.
Soulgaze - By maintaining prolonged eye contact with another close at hand, Re'as can trigger an enhanced state of awareness between the two, allowing each to see a vision of the other's true nature and soul. This is not full access to their mind and must be used sparingly, as it leaves him just as vulnerable as the other person and what is seen this way cannot be forgotten. Can only be used one per encounter, and only once on a given person ever.
Cabal Therapy - Each month Re'as must report to a local branch of the church and confess to them all secrets he have learned or kept. They in turn will determine if he get to keep that knowledge, or else withdraw it from his memory.
ABYSS
Re'as's attunement to dark magics passively alters his body, stirring his inner darkness and turning him into an embodiment of ineffable shadows. Through concentration he can, if necessary, cause these changes to demanifest temporarily, though doing so drains his focus and ability to use spells. Level One: His skin becomes dusky and as cold as a corpse. His mind is filled with shadows and cannot be altered by external magics. Level Two: He can see in darkness easily as light and cannot be blinded. Level Three: Your skin develops swirling, shifting patterns of darkness beneath the skin. Your grasp creates the sensation of being bitten by a hundred tiny mouths. Level Four: Your hair becomes inky black seems to sway and move independently from your head's movements. By touching a wall or the ground, you can create a shadow there, in your shape and dimensions, anchored to that surface. This shadow cannot be dispelled by normal light and causes icy damage to any that touch it. Can only have three of these active at once. Only last an hour. Level Five: If wounded, the darkness beneath your skin gain substance, biting into your flesh and skin to stitch, suture, and staple it back together This is not painless. Level Six: Some of your subdermal darkness moves to the surface, taking the appearance of strange runic tattoos that constantly change and move. If you grab someone for more than a moment, some of these "tattoos" will move them to them. They remain until the end of the encounter, sapping the warmth and hope from them, weakening them by a level. Level Seven: Your inner shadows reduce your weight, giving a minor boost to your leaping ability and agility. The shadow "tattoos" that cover your body can bite and cling to surfaces, even through thin clothing, allowing you to stick to walls and ceilings like an insect. Level Eight: Your "tattoos" become more numerous. Shadows wisp occasionally from your mouth and nose like smoke. You can, once per encounter, spew your inner darkness out from your mouth to form an intangible, barely perceivable shadowclone of yourself, taking with it your consciousness. This leaves your body, now unchanged by the Shade ability, limp and helpless but allows you to travel in this shadowform anywhere within 200' of your body. You can cast a single spell each post through this shadowform. If your body is dealt any damage, this effect will end. Level Nine: You can use shadows you have anchored as portals between each other. Once every 7 posts. Level Ten: You learn to harness your attunement for a custom ability based on your personality and shadows.

So, he's starting with an LSS, levels one + two (-120 gold), guild affiliations (-50 gold), linked to Misty in a way that's half-disadvantage, and Phantom Blades. Notice he doesn't have any real weapons (other than the one he can summon, I suppose); I don't know if that's enough of a tradeoff to get the Phantom Blades, but if not, maybe we can work something out.

Okay, Edge was an LSS, warrior tech, a couple of combat skills and guns, but you paid for the guns out or your starting gold it appears so I think thats fair. This issue is the fact that quickdrawing guns doesn't really help when all the guns are muzzleloaders. I suggest this as a replacement for your two abilities.
Coolhand - Years of practice have given Edge superior speed and dexterity with his hands, allowing him to load his firearms quicker than most and allowing him to shoot with either hand simultaneously and with equal skill.
----------------------
Yoko has racial bonuses, an LSS, guild stuff, weapons, herbalist tabs, and an extra pet? That is a bit much I think.
Edit: Okay tabs and extra pet gone. Small for an ogofta. Should be okay.

Appearance/Apparel - Laghairt is 8'4" tall and 3' feet wide at the shoulders and is made of solid muscle. He has tanned olive skin and his hair is copper and midlength while his eyes are a deep dark orange. Laghairt usually wears a dark brown, dense, long sleeved woolen shirt and black tweed pants to keep himself and Gigan, as the monitor rides on his shoulders, warm.
Laghairt's entire back is a massive piece of art. Starting with his shoulders, one can see the hissing mouths of two large lizards eating his arms. The two lizards' bodies continue down and across his back intertwining at the center, with their claws digging into his back and sides. All around the two lizards are droplets of what one would assume is their saliva in a pattern, all falling into pools underneath the lizards' twisting tails. All of this has been tattooed in the darkest black possible.
Personality/Background - After leaving his parents' Tribe, Laghairt quickly found himself yearning to go out on his own into the wider world. Soon he had joined the Warriors' Brotherhood due in part to his large size and also because both he and Gigan enjoyed the way of life the Brotherhood represented. But quickly Laghairt discovered that the same size that had given him the idea to join the Brotherhood, led to nonmembers ostracizing him and he found it difficult to make money and live. This forced him to look to other, not so legal, ways to support him and his little brother Gigan.

ITEMS
WEAPONS
Magical Lavaforge Pole - A 10' long with a circumference of 10" dragonbone pole. When rammed into the earth, the pole converts a 2’ deep, 2’ long, 6” wide patch of ground into lava that rapidly cools into an obsidian axe-head, hammer, or other object that can be fastened to the end of the staff. This obsidian is treated as a part of the weapon for as long as it is attached to the pole, and as such effects of enchantments on the weapon extend to the obsidian. The obsidian can be commanded to shatter.
>Weapon Augmentation - Blood - The pole became wrapped at its center in what appeared to be an ancient bleached lizard's hide. When driving the end earthwards, Laghairt could choose, instead of pulling out a weapon, to have a creature burst forth from the earth. The creature was a monitor lizard, almost as large as his own totem animal, comprised of the same obsidian as the weapon pieces. He could have one obsidian monitor active at any one time and both he and Gigan were capable of extending their consciousness into the creation for greater control. The Lavaforge Pole cannot be forced from Laghairt's hands by any means and slips from the grip of all others who would try to wield it. While the Lavaforge Pole is with Laghairt his spells per post are reduced by one.
>Fiery Noble Jasper Imbue - The Lavaforge Pole may burst with an incorporeal flame that causes it to shift into the world of spirits. Any interactions with spirits made by the pole are pacifying rather than damaging.
>Fiery Noble Sapphire Imbue - The Lavaforge Pole may become superheated, causing it to melt on the inside, making it as flexible or malleable as Laghairt desires. The heat from this effect is painful to people other than Laghairt who are actively trying to harm others.
>Fiery Noble Bloodstone Imbue - The Lavaforge Pole may become an intangible flame that flows into Laghairt, fusing with a part of his body and granting that body part its powers until commanded to flow back out. Furthermore, Laghairt may have the pole instead fuse with any other willing ally. The pole must be touching any body parts it is to fuse with, and any body parts so enhanced are flushed red as though carrying a fire just below their surface.
>Fiery Noble Flesh of the Fallen Imbue - Uplifting Chorus - The Lavaforge Pole lets out an inspiring tune while in motion, the song becoming more mighty and complex the longer and faster it moves through the air. Moving the weapon in this way causes the weapon to smolder with an increasingly mighty aura of golden flames whose fires burn all who harbor ill intent towards others. The fire is intangible to Laghairt. If the aura grows particularly powerful - such as by charging with the weapon unsheathed - the aura is released upon hitting the target, surrounding them in a momentary whirlwind of blinding, searing flames. Anyone so effected has their vision suffer from modifications drawn from their hopes, dreams, and more righteous aspirations for 10 posts. Perhaps you will look particularly willing to listen to reason, a kind heart standing in the field of their dreams with the children they could yet have playing in the background instead of your true visage - that of a hardened mercenary - fighting them upon a war torn field with some buzzards pecking at the dead.
Mundane Sanguine Blade - A silvered dagger with grooves running through the blade and a pommel of hollow crystal. If the pommel is empty, the blade naturally drains the blood of those it wounds to fill it. If filled with a poison or other substance, the blade naturally runs with the liquid and introduces it to the blood of wounded foes.
- Currently filled with nothing.
ARMOR
Magical Collar of the Straight Path - A collar of polished bone, bleached with age.
> The wearer can always feel its presence around their neck, no matter the circumstances. The more the wearer’s ancestors feel that they are deviating from the Straight Path, the tighter it squeezes.
> Grants the wearer a remarkable ability based on their ancestors. Laghairt at all times feels the comforting weight of the traditions of his ancestors upon him, a constant reassurance of the order of the world and its rhythms. Through the power of the Collar, this weight is able to manifest itself physically in any one of three ways. (Only two per encounter, and one at a time).
> The Light of Tradition - A shroud of diffuse white light surrounds Laghairt, slowly concentrating into a traveler's cloak of the same diffuse substance. When a weapon enters this shroud it passes through the cloak and Laghairt harmlessly. Does not affect areas uncovered by the cloak. Laghairt cannot cast spells while maintaining this ability.
> Bones of the Forefathers - Laghairt can summon a bison of diffuse white light, which seems almost to steam off of the animal. When the creature is charging, its impact has an effect like an agate imbue.
> In Their Hands As In Mine - This same diffuse white light coalesces and solidifies, forming a dense blade of blazing white fire which floats above Laghairt's hand, 3' in diameter. Laghairt can throw this blade, which acts like a boomerang. Laghairt cannot cast spells while maintaining this ability.
Mundane Leather Breastplate
NON-WEAPON/ARMOR ITEMS
Magical Scionic Monitor - A Scionic Amber trinket in the shape of a monitor lizard. Can be used to summon a living amber monitor lizard for three posts per encounter. The trinket can bare and amplify a pair of enchantments which are also relayed to the summoned creature. Void Pack
>Chronicler - A magic book detailing the history of the person it was written for. Unlike the non-magical texts in the water lock area, this book continues to expand and update itself with the original owner's tale till the day they die. Or possibly beyond it, if their ghost does anything page worthy.
-The design, narration style, actual titles, etc of the books are customized from person to person to fit their desires [describe it how you want]. The design/name can even change over extended periods of time (not fast enough to be used during a task/quest/etc). The book will not lie.
>Doll of Laghairt.
>Doll of Gigan.
>3 Glass Vials filled with Gigan Drool with Stoppers
>Noble Jasper - A beautiful piece of Jasper that looks like it is crisscrossed with veins of silver and gold. When imbued into an item, that item gains a more an unusually kind sort jasper imbue. Each other enchantment on the item is likewise engulfed with good will, becoming more heroic and benevolent versions of their former selves. This does not effect the base abilities of the item, and it can be used on LSS items. - IMBUED
>Sapphire Crystal - IMBUED
>Bloodstone Crystal - IMBUED
>Flesh of the Fallen - IMBUED Ancestral Heart - A silvery drake scale that may be made a permanent part of any reptile. Bonded to Gigan. Polarizing Serum - A concoction designed to exploit the principal of antagonistic magics. Once consumed a random portion of your magical abilities will be altered to reflect their polar opposite arts.
Mundane The Scrap of Paper - **The book slowly began to glow, flaring with a seething energy that etched out a large rune on the paper. It was unfamiliar to Laghairt, and was slowly beginning to fade. If he acted quickly, he might be able to copy it down before it vanished forever.**
LOOT Wheel of Ice and Fire – A simple four-winged boomerang of dark blue, almost black Nevermelt Ice.
>Heat-Stripping Twirl – The boomerang pulls in ambient heat as it spins through the air, growing brighter and redder as it chills its surroundings and pulls in flames. The boomerang stores this heat within itself; growing blisteringly hot after a long spin and/or after being thrown through particularly sweltering conditions
>Inferno Exhalation – The thrower can will the boomerang to release all of its stored heat in an explosion of flame relative to the amount of heat stored. This explosion does not harm the Wheel, but it probably stops its momentum.

This pet can be one of the LSS Pets but does not have to be, in fact those should be rare cases rather than the norm. You can have any actual animal as your totem animal (if not LSS must exist in real world) but if you choose a naturally enormous pet, you will get a pygmy version of it. Nothing much larger than say a springer spaniel. (This is null and void if it is an LSS pet.)
These totem animals are very smart, but not human level. You can communicate with them, but its more of a general sense of meaning then understanding actual speech and they understand your words with equal generality.

He'd probably kick puppies if they didn't have the good sense to stay away. Ah, who are we kidding? He'd order someone else to do it. The only thing he ever did himself was learn the fighting arts; there was a certain appeal to it he just couldn't put his finger on. He even went so far as to secretly participate in numerous fighting tournaments – many of which he himself funded had under false name

Background

After the murder he knew that he could not stay in the town. He packed up his things, and began making a living, as a wandering mercenary, going from small town, to small town, picking up jobs to get the money to buy what he needed, and when he couldn't find work, he took what he needed, often at gunpoint, from those more fortunate than he was.

Name - Ulrich Serpent-Tongue
Race - Kindir
Age - 22
Height - 6' 1"
Appearance - Ulrich has the fiery red hair of his father, pulled back into pony tail for battle, but hanging down past his shoulders when performing for a crowd. His features are sharp and angular, drawing attention to his steel blue eyes, not inviting but authoritative. He is as lithe and tanned as one would expect from any kindirin warrior, and bears a small collection of scars on his arms.
Apparel - A sleeveless rouse hide jerkin protects Ulrich's chest while displaying his strength. Loose cotton trousers protect the warrior's modesty without restricting his movements. Snakeskin boots and belt support him in his travels. He carries a blade slung on his left hip, an elongated satchel on his right. His left hand half way up his forearm his covered in a silver scale gauntlet, with silver mail wrapped around his palm and fingers.
Background - Ulrich was born among Ash's warriors, within the Crag Colosseum itself, screaming at the top of his little lungs as his father inspected him. As Ulrich grew up he became fascinated with stories, listening to every tale the Brothers and Sisters would tell over drinks. He started memorising the tales himself, and soon enough the young child was given the honour of telling some of the warrior's stories for them. Noting his son's fascination with fanciful and the exaggerated gifted him a book of kindirin proverbs. Ulrich devoured the book and took the meaning of his father's gesture well, he immersed himself in the teachings of his people, alongside his martial training and eventually committed every proverb to memory. One evening he corrected his father on the use of a proverb after a sparring match, since then their sparring matches came to include ethical and philosophical discussion in unison with physical blows. Once he was much older, Ulrich found himself compelled to leave Ash and explore the rest of Bakara. In time he found that in addition to his training his knack for telling tales was a commodity he could tap into as well, he joined the Bard's Guild and officially became a wandering Errant.
Affiliation - Errant (Bard/Warrior)
Skills and Abilities
Blood of the Kindir - Ulrich is a born and bred kindirin warrior, possessing the strength and knowledge of his people. His strength level is Strong.
Teller of Tales and Truths - Ulrich has always been fascinated with stories, enraptured by anyone who could weave a good tale with only the power of their words.

Ulrich has all the benefits of Bard's guild membership, including the ability to create spell songs and receive gifts of gold from any fans he might have.
>>Natural Story-Teller - Ulrich has the natural ability to adjust his intonation and cadence to make his spoken words resonate with others. Upon joining the Bard's guild he developed this knack into an actual skill.

Performance Pieces

>>Troll Logic - A twisting, curving, disorienting argument that fills a target with self-doubt.
>>Gwendolyn My Dear - A moving ballad, mostly spoken-word with woodwind accompaniment between verses, in D minor. Speaks of the love of Gwendolyn and her man, an elf who went to war for Greevan and met an unfortunate end, and her ensuing grief and suicide. Has an inciting effect upon those who hear it, ally and enemy alike, making them fiercer and more determined, but also more at times erratic and emotional.
Woodwind - Woodwind performances, played with Ulrich's harmonica.
>>Phantom Melody - An eerie, haunting piece that ripples the air around a target, making their features and exact movements visually indistinct.
>>Through The Fire - A fast, driving song on Ulrich's harmonica, it wards an attacking target against all pain, fear and doubt, boosting their reserves of stamina to fight through whatever it thrown at them no matter what. Does not actually prevent any damage or injury, so the target may be spurred on to victory or too blind to their impending doom.
Dance - Physical performances, using the body to entertain visually.
>>Flashdance - A flashy, impressive bit of footwork that is rather flashy and eyecatching, drawing attention.
Weapons and Armour
Serpent's Fang - A gila-bone baselard dagger hard as steel, one foot long with a blackened wood hilt.

Name - "Allona"
Race - Jakari
Age - 24
Appearance - Standing at around five and a half feet tall, Allona is a rather attractive Jakari woman with a thin layer of silver hair covering her entire body. The woman is curvy and has a sinister look about her face, exaggerating almost all of her cat like features. Her eyes are yellow with black pupils and her silver hair is kept braided, extending halfway down her back. The woman wears a tight brown leather corset which is covered by a powder blue blouse and a long navy blue jacket with black buttons going from top to bottom. She typically wears grey pants and no hat. She has a jade pendant necklace and a gold earing going through the cartridge of each at like ear.
Background - Allona never knew her parents and was passed around from orphanage to orphanage as a child. With Elexia being the place that it is, namely no place for a child to grow up, the young woman often had to fend for herself. While her level of supervision varied from abusive quartermasters who barely had time to look after half the children they had to the strict confines of the clerics, the girl was often kicked out after short stays, in large part to her self sufficiency. Refusing to abide by rules that would see her either starve or get robbed on the mean streets of Elexia, the young jakari adopted brutal tactics of self defense, often tormenting those who started fights with her to set an example. In this world for no one other than herself, Allona quickly set her own guidelines and set out on her own path, believing that those who harm others deserve the pain she so enjoys inflicting, having surrendered their rights as humans while attempting to make the world a better place for those who break no laws, wanting to protect them from physical harm and the mental anguish she associates with religious zealots and the slavery that comes from having to have every facet of ones life known. Allona is the name the woman took upon joining the initiates, her birth name is known by few.
Affiliation - Inquisitor
Skills and Abilities
Cat Like Reflexes: Allona is fast on her feet, giving her slightly heightened reflexes and quicker leg power to lunge out of dangers path.
Ruthless (Minor Initiate Ability): Through practice and study the woman has come to learn how to inflict the most pain possible when given the opportunity. While this largely comes down to creativity during interrogations, any shot landed on an unsuspecting foe will also be more painful than usual.
Soul Gaze
Feared: Being both a peacekeeper and an intiate cause most to be uneasy or anxious around Allona, has mixed results.
STEELHORN RAM - A young tan billy with oversized metallic looking horns and hooves. Will grow into a large, fearless ram. 6" tall and 8" long.
Lvl 1. The ram's skeleton and horns are as durable as iron and extremely resistant to damage. (1'3" tall, 1'8" long)
Lvl 2. The ram's hooves can adhere to the ground, giving it stable footing on most any terrain and slope. (2' tall, 2'9" long)

> Lawgiver baton with base ability
> Phantom Blades
>Brutale
A stiletto knife with a hilt of orange metal and a 4" blade of black. Modifier 3. Whenever the blade draws blood, it grows 6" longer and grows hotter.

Stats & Facts
Name – Misty Wydberg
Race – Human/Fenette Demon Hybrid
Age - 21
Height - 5' 5"
Appearance – Clearly taking after her Fenette mother, Misty is a lithe and curvaceous woman with long silvery hair. Her skin, although pale and luminous, is more human-like in feel and her eyes are gunmetal grey instead of the icy blue associated with Fenettes.
Apparel – Misty typically wears a white camisole beneath the plunging V neckline of her electric blue blouse. The silk blouse is sashed and bell-sleeved, the vibrant color nicely contrasting her muted charcoal-colored trousers. Her boots have clearly been designed for long-distance travel. She often wears a midnight blue cloak. A leather voidsatchel is perpetually at her side.
Affiliations – Artificer (Mage/Machinist)
Background - *Ahem* "Long ago in the city of Sylvan there was a beautiful Fenette demon who fell in love with a kind-hearted human gravedigger. Their family members tried to pull them apart but they eloped! They overcame every challenge, resisted every foe, and even convinced Grandma to quit hounding them! (Trust me, that’s legendary). Eventually they worked everything out and started a family at the edge of town where they live today. Then they had me! Everything was perfect until my.. powers… started to develop. I don’t like talking about this but you’ve been so nice hearing me out like this..so..um.. you know how a fennette demon can slightly alter their personality and looks based on the emotions they feed on? My power is a little like that, except I can’t control it and the personality alteration becomes stronger over time. If..if I stay near anyone for too long I fear.. I think “I” will disappear. Even my parents…even you. It was nice meeting you though! I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future! I travel all the time!
Achievements:
> Found the Book Of Knowledge!
> Helped free a bound divinity of Chaos!
> Let a trader talk her into buying a very dangerous elixir.
Other stuff
Skills and Abilities
Cursed Hum of the Universal Thought – Misty has inherited the emotion feeding abilities of her mother, but it’s all messed up!
Positive(can be shared with linkmate)
> Misty can feed on emotions via prolonged physical contact, mentally exhausting the subject while giving her sustenance. This ability takes a few minutes and, although pleasurable to the victim, is easily resisted. The 'taste' and amount of sustenance depends on the strength and type of emotion(s) the victim was experiencing.
Negative(is not and cannot be shared with linkmate)
> Even when not actively feeding Misty picks up the emotions of everyone within the general vicinity of her, giving her a headache in very large groups. This ability is not fine-tuned, and is usually a muddled background hum unless one emotion is being felt VERY strongly. The headache usually recedes once a sync occurs.
> Large group or not, Misty will begin to “sync” with an individual if near them for any significant length of time – or a random one if more than one individual qualifies (IC random – OOC MK can choose). This can take hours or minutes (Again, only random IC). Misty more strongly feels their emotions and starts picking up their quirks. Misty usually plays up these quirks into all-out caricatures because she is frankly terrified of subtle changes to her personality. Overtime her looks begin to change as well and she starts to become more like the person although it would take a long time (more than a few days) for her to be more like them than like herself. The synced individual may or may not feel any different at the discretion of whoever is controlling them.
>> Misty cannot sync to her linkmate in this fashion. This means that he is, in truth, the only person she can safely be around indefinitely. Misty obviously doesn’t know this.
Tarnishing grasp - Although nowhere near as strong as an actual Fenette demon’s touch, metal objects Misty frequently come into contact with tarnish over time. This doesn’t happen quickly enough for combat unless she is fighting some kind of clockwork… glacier. She usually wears gloves and the like when working with her machinist devices.
Noticeable lack of telekinesis and emotion-controlling powers – Misty didn’t inherit these from her mother, it seems.
Fantastic Cooking Skills – What? Misty didn’t plan on becoming a traveling adventurer before her terrible power matured. Some people like the idea of professional chefdom. You should try her french onion soup, it’s delicious.
Mediocre skills one would expect someone that tries not to depend on others for anything would have – Including but not limited to “Sowing skills that are okay but not anything to write home about”, “Won’t die horribly in the woods”, and the ever popular “knows how to make fire”.
> Linked to Christov Demain. The link (whose true nature she does not know) terrifies Misty, as she considers it some aspect of her condition that follows her all the time now. Even when she's alone. It hasn’t consumed her yet.. and SHE WON’T LET IT!
THE LINK - Establish a lifelong mental link with a single person of your choice, allowing the two of you to share information, skills and awareness. Once established with a person this link cannot be broken to moved to another. Other person does not need to have The Link.

Lvl 3. You and your linkmate can share each others thoughts.
Lvl 4. You and your linkmate can share each others nonmagical skills.
Lvl 5. You and your linkmate can share each others level 5 and lower spells.
Lvl 6. You and your linkmate can temporarily extended a portion of The Link to other party, sharing emotions, thoughts and senses with up to two willing other participant for ten posts or forcing them on a single unwilling participant for three posts. These limits are per person per encounter.
Lvl 7. You and your linkmate can share each others magical skills
Lvl 8. You and your linkmate can combine your wills to splice together a spell each of you knows into a single hybrid spell. Can be done four time per encounter. Uses one of your spells each.
Lvl 9. You and your linkmate can share all of each others spells.
Lvl 10. You and your linkmate can extend this link to a third person.
Artificer benefits:
Tinkering & Gunsmithing – Misty honestly isn’t sure when she’ll ever need gun smithing.. she just sorta wandered into the class during her “omg, bicycle!” euphoria.
Clockworks – The art of making mechanical friends that don’t threaten to destroy your mind. Also, bicycles! How cool is that? Super Cool! She’s totally going to make a bicycle!

WildGear Savior – A summon granted to Misty via a pact with a guardian spirit that self-summons and self-maintains whenever Misty is helpless and unable to defend herself. Misty cannot otherwise call upon it. The summon remains until Misty is safe [or dead].
>The savior’s flesh as tough as leather.
> Crafter’s Armory: Inside its body is a Swiss-army-knife of machinist tools, such as screwdriver, hammer, saw, that sort of thing.
> Sealed Mind: The Savior's mind is not effected by mind influencing/altering effects and abilities that would be effected by its mental presence act as though it isn't there.
Inverted Bond - Misty's affinity for the world around her can be partially reversed, allowing any of her summonings to share her senses, allowing them to better orient themselves and potentially alert them to dangers.
Spells and Magics
Mind
1 - Retain - Anchors a memory or thought in your mind, ensuring you do not forget it or be made to forget it unless you will it. Does not need to be maintained, but retaining too many things at once can lead to confusion. Misty “Retains” a written description of who she is at all times lest she forget.
2 - Veil - You can't be directly targeted by spells for the next two posts. Cast only once per encounter.
3 - Self-Aware - Passive. You are instantly alerted to any attempts to alter your thought processes or emotions. Does not prevent the effect, just makes you aware of them to try and deal with the influence.
4 - Daze - Disrupt a target's mind, dazing and disorienting them.
5 - Summon Mind Aspect - Summon an owl with feathers of silver and eyes of gold. Its gaze, if met, is mesmeric.
Spirit(From Link with Christov)
1 - Soothe - Calm the emotions of another, the more intense the emotions, the less effective this spell is.
2 - Vibe - Send out a wave of spirit energy that can sense the general direction of any hostility aimed at you.
3 - Hado - Release a blast of spirit energy from your hand, a baseball sized projectile that hits with the force of a punch. Color depends on your mood.
4 - Inner Champion - Misty grows taller, lither, and resembles her mother even more. Her telekinetic talents manifest in aura that acts like leather armor, stone-hard around her hands and feet, and a homeguide effect on all her possession. She cannot cast or maintain other spells or summonings as long as this is in effect or for a post afterwards.
5 -Hado-Ken - Release from your hand a projectile forged from your life-force. For Misty this projectile is translucent silver in the shape of her head, hair trailing behind it like a comet tail. It hits with the force of a very strong punch and marks then with an emotional link to Misty that accelerates the effects of her emotional feeding.
Force (From Link with Christov)
Empower - Magically augment the force created by your movements, effectively increasing your physical strength level by one. You can only have one instance of this effect placed on your body at once, or else the unnatural stress it puts on your body will cause severe injury
Weapons
Magical
> Eternal Crossbow – An ironwood crossbow capable of secreting sap that hardens into a bolt about as quickly as reloading a normal crossbow. The bolts deteriorate after about an hour. The bolts created by the crossbow gain the benefits of any enchantments on the crossbow itself.
> Mind Dagger - A steel rapier dagger with a silver guard and navy silk wrapped hilt. Parrying a weapon with this dagger instills a subtle suggestion in that weapon's wielder's mind that the weapon is useless. The more you parry any given weapon, the strong the compulsion to stop using it and switch to another weapon or fight unarmed. Misty is very careful to not touch the metal bits, having the guard wrapped in silk as well as the hilt.
> The Cleaver -An enchanted self-cleaning crystalline cleaver with a finely-crafted ironwood grip. Designed for cooking, not killing. But it is passable at the latter.
Mundane
> A wooden staff.
Non-Weapon Items - Accessories
> Traveler's Cloak(Worn)- A midnight blue hooded cloak made of thick, dense wool. Impervious to wind and rain, and also to Water-based magic. Also allows the wearer to blend into the shadows undetectably, even deeper than a shroud spell.
> Voidstachel(Worn)
> A Nice Coat - A belted half-trench jacket with a fur lined hood for colder ventures.
> Miscellaneous Traveling Clothes
Non-Weapon Items - Miscellaneous
Magical
Magenta Cooking Gear: A set of self-cleaning crystalline cooking implements with ironwood grips. A gift to her from her parents. Includes knives, but aside from the cleaver Misty would have to be desperate to try using any of them in battle.
Magic Tea Cup: - Pour in an Herbalist Tea and it will refill with it at the beginning of each encounter. It is possible to fill it with a new tea thereafter change the type.
Autumn Spice Rack
>The spice rack allows anyone who eats meals prepared with its contents the ability to gradually weaken plants and wooden structures with prolonged contact. In addition the spices can be used offensively by throwing them into a person's face. The experience is as unpleasant as it sounds, prompting coughing and tears.
Darkwood Salad Bowl
>The bowl is infused with storm magics that cause the actions of the tongs to be reflected in the greater world. Once per encounter, Misty may use the tongs to perform the motions of tossing a salad in the bowl for up to four posts. For that period of time a single target is buffeted by bursts of upward wind that mirror those actions, distracting, harassing and potentially lifting them for the duration of the effect.
> Chronicler - A magic book detailing the history of the person it was written for. Unlike the non-magical texts in the water lock area, this book continues to expand and update itself with the original owner's tale till the day they die. Or possibly beyond it, if their ghost does anything page worthy. This particular book was written for Misty, but it hasn't settled on a design yet.
> Erin's Boon - A small silver coin, on one side depicting Erin smiling and winking at you, on the other side an engraving, somehow, of the shapeless and formless chaotic void. Grants the skill "Touch of Moonlight."
Touch of Moonlight - The world may be a messed up, effed up, chaotic place, but somehow you know how to find your place in the scheme of things a little better than most people. Things tend to go well for you, so that random chance events are tipped just that little bit toward your side. You're a little lucky to be alive, and you can feel it.
> Transference Seal
Mundane
>Machinist Toolkit - Contains a hammer, nails, screws, a screwdriver, pliers, wire, bolts, nuts, a crankdrill, grease, rags, oil, and a soldering stone that can be used to slowly heat metals for bonding. She presumably has non-metallic versions of these items.
> Basic survival stuff.

Affiliations: Initiate/Peacekeeper (Inquisitor)
Appearance: Tall, extremely lanky to the point of being skeletal, with extremely pale and thin skin stretched over his frame. Angular face with prominent cheekbones and dark blue eyes sunk deep into his face. Short, greasy black hair, swept back out of his face. Large, beaked nose.
Apparel: Dirty white linen shirt, open to his sternum, tucked into narrow black pants. Black leather boots, thin and tapering with a slightly rounded toe. Black wool trench coat with small flecks of red and blue.
Skills
Level One: His skin becomes dusky and as cold as a corpse. His mind is filled with shadows and cannot be altered by external magics.
Level Two: He can see in darkness easily as light and cannot be blinded.
Level Three: Your skin develops swirling, shifting patterns of darkness beneath the skin. Your grasp creates the sensation of being bitten by a hundred tiny mouths.
Level Four: Your hair becomes inky black seems to sway and move independently from your head's movements. By touching a wall or the ground, you can create a shadow there, in your shape and dimensions, anchored to that surface. This shadow cannot be dispelled by normal light and causes icy damage to any that touch it. Can only have three of these active at once. Only last an hour.
Level Five: If wounded, the darkness beneath your skin gain substance, biting into your flesh and skin to stitch, suture, and staple it back together This is not painless.
Level Six: Some of your subdermal darkness moves to the surface, taking the appearance of strange runic tattoos that constantly change and move. If you grab someone for more than a moment, some of these "tattoos" will move them to them. They remain until the end of the encounter, sapping the warmth and hope from them, weakening them by a level.
Level Seven: Your inner shadows reduce your weight, giving a minor boost to your leaping ability and agility. The shadow "tattoos" that cover your body can bite and cling to surfaces, even through thin clothing, allowing you to stick to walls and ceilings like an insect.
Level Eight: Your "tattoos" become more numerous. Shadows wisp occasionally from your mouth and nose like smoke. You can, once per encounter, spew your inner darkness out from your mouth to form an intangible, barely perceivable shadowclone of yourself, taking with it your consciousness. This leaves your body, now unchanged by the Shade ability, limp and helpless but allows you to travel in this shadowform anywhere within 200' of your body. You can cast a single spell each post through this shadowform. If your body is dealt any damage, this effect will end.
Level Nine: You can use shadows you have anchored as portals between each other. Once every 7 posts.
Level Ten: You learn to harness your attunement for a custom ability based on your personality and shadows.

Weapon Augmentation - Blood - Lavaforge Pole - The pole became wrapped at its center in what appeared to be an ancient bleached lizard's hide. When driving the end earthwards, Laghairt could choose, instead of pulling out a weapon, to have a creature burst forth from the earth. The creature was a monitor lizard, almost as large as his own totem animal, comprised of the same obsidian as the weapon pieces. He could have one obsidian monitor active at any one time and both he and Gigan were capable of extending their consciousness into the creation for greater control. The Lavaforge Pole cannot be forced from Laghairt's hands by any means and slips from the grip of all others who would try to wield it.

Lavaforge Pole - A 10' long with a circumference of 10" dragonbone pole. When rammed into the earth, the pole converts a 2’ deep, 2’ long, 6” wide patch of ground into lava that rapidly cools into an obsidian axe-head, hammer, or other object that can be fastened to the end of the staff. This obsidian is treated as a part of the weapon for as long as it is attached to the pole, and as such effects of enchantments on the weapon extend to the obsidian. The obsidian can be commanded to shatter.
>Weapon Augmentation - Blood - The pole became wrapped at its center in what appeared to be an ancient bleached lizard's hide. When driving the end earthwards, Laghairt could choose, instead of pulling out a weapon, to have a creature burst forth from the earth. The creature was a monitor lizard, almost as large as his own totem animal, comprised of the same obsidian as the weapon pieces. He could have one obsidian monitor active at any one time and both he and Gigan were capable of extending their consciousness into the creation for greater control. The Lavaforge Pole cannot be forced from Laghairt's hands by any means and slips from the grip of all others who would try to wield it. While the Lavaforge Pole is with Laghairt his spells per post are reduced by one.
>Fiery Noble Sapphire Imbue - The Lavaforge Pole may become superheated, causing it to melt on the inside, making it as flexible or malleable as Laghairt desires. The heat from this effect is painful to people other than Laghairt who are actively trying to harm others.
>Fiery Noble Bloodstone Imbue - The Lavaforge Pole may become an intangible flame that flows into Laghairt, fusing with a part of his body and granting that body part its powers until commanded to flow back out. Furthermore, Laghairt may have the pole instead fuse with any other willing ally. The pole must be touching any body parts it is to fuse with, and any body parts so enhanced are flushed red as though carrying a fire just below their surface.
>Fiery Noble Flesh of the Fallen Imbue - Uplifting Chorus - The Lavaforge Pole lets out an inspiring tune while in motion, the song becoming more mighty and complex the longer and faster it moves through the air. Moving the weapon in this way causes the weapon to smolder with an increasingly mighty aura of golden flames whose fires burn all who harbor ill intent towards others. The fire is intangible to Laghairt. If the aura grows particularly powerful - such as by charging with the weapon unsheathed - the aura is released upon hitting the target, surrounding them in a momentary whirlwind of blinding, searing flames. Anyone so effected has their vision suffer from modifications drawn from their hopes, dreams, and more righteous aspirations for 10 posts. Perhaps you will look particularly willing to listen to reason, a kind heart standing in the field of their dreams with the children they could yet have playing in the background instead of your true visage - that of a hardened mercenary - fighting them upon a war torn field with some buzzards pecking at the dead.
Mundane
Sanguine Blade - A silvered dagger with grooves running through the blade and a pommel of hollow crystal. If the pommel is empty, the blade naturally drains the blood of those it wounds to fill it. If filled with a poison or other substance, the blade naturally runs with the liquid and introduces it to the blood of wounded foes.
- Currently filled with nothing.
ARMOR
Magical
Collar of the Straight Path - A collar of polished bone, bleached with age.
> The wearer can always feel its presence around their neck, no matter the circumstances. The more the wearer’s ancestors feel that they are deviating from the Straight Path, the tighter it squeezes.
> Grants the wearer a remarkable ability based on their ancestors.
Laghairt at all times feels the comforting weight of the traditions of his ancestors upon him, a constant reassurance of the order of the world and its rhythms. Through the power of the Collar, this weight is able to manifest itself physically in any one of three ways. (Only two per encounter, and one at a time).
> The Light of Tradition - A shroud of diffuse white light surrounds Laghairt, slowly concentrating into a traveler's cloak of the same diffuse substance. When a weapon enters this shroud it passes through the cloak and Laghairt harmlessly. Does not affect areas uncovered by the cloak. Laghairt cannot cast spells while maintaining this ability.
> Bones of the Forefathers - Laghairt can summon a bison of diffuse white light, which seems almost to steam off of the animal. When the creature is charging, its impact has an effect like an agate imbue.
> In Their Hands As In Mine - This same diffuse white light coalesces and solidifies, forming a dense blade of blazing white fire which floats above Laghairt's hand, 3' in diameter. Laghairt can throw this blade, which acts like a boomerang. Laghairt cannot cast spells while maintaining this ability.

Unlike the non-magical texts in the water lock area, this book continues to expand and update itself with the original owner's tale till the day they die. Or possibly beyond it, if their ghost does anything page worthy.
-The design, narration style, actual titles, etc of the books are customized from person to person to fit their desires [describe it how you want]. The design/name can even change over extended periods of time (not fast enough to be used during a task/quest/etc). The book will not lie.
>Doll of Laghairt.
>Doll of Gigan.
>3 Glass Vials filled with Gigan Drool with Stoppers
>Noble Jasper - A beautiful piece of Jasper that looks like it is crisscrossed with veins of silver and gold. When imbued into an item, that item gains a more an unusually kind sort jasper imbue. Each other enchantment on the item is likewise engulfed with good will, becoming more heroic and benevolent versions of their former selves. This does not effect the base abilities of the item, and it can be used on LSS items. - IMBUED
>Sapphire Crystal - IMBUED
>Bloodstone Crystal - IMBUED
>Flesh of the Fallen - IMBUED
Ancestral Heart - A silvery drake scale that may be made a permanent part of any reptile. Bonded to Gigan.
Polarizing Serum - A concoction designed to exploit the principal of antagonistic magics. Once consumed a random portion of your magical abilities will be altered to reflect their polar opposite arts.
Mundane
The Scrap of Paper - **The book slowly began to glow, flaring with a seething energy that etched out a large rune on the paper. It was unfamiliar to Laghairt, and was slowly beginning to fade. If he acted quickly, he might be able to copy it down before it vanished forever.**
LOOT
Wheel of Ice and Fire – A simple four-winged boomerang of dark blue, almost black Nevermelt Ice.
>Heat-Stripping Twirl – The boomerang pulls in ambient heat as it spins through the air, growing brighter and redder as it chills its surroundings and pulls in flames. The boomerang stores this heat within itself; growing blisteringly hot after a long spin and/or after being thrown through particularly sweltering conditions
>Inferno Exhalation – The thrower can will the boomerang to release all of its stored heat in an explosion of flame relative to the amount of heat stored. This explosion does not harm the Wheel, but it probably stops its momentum.

Playing As Ogofta - Most though not all Ogofta should be of exceptional size and be at least strong. All must have their brethren totem animal as a pet. This will eat up alot of your starting character's power.
This pet can be one of the LSS Pets but does not have to be, in fact those should be rare cases rather than the norm. You can have any actual animal as your totem animal (if not LSS must exist in real world) but if you choose a naturally enormous pet, you will get a pygmy version of it. Nothing much larger than say a springer spaniel. (This is null and void if it is an LSS pet.)
These totem animals are very smart, but not human level. You can communicate with them, but its more of a general sense of meaning then understanding actual speech and they understand your words with equal generality.

Race - Strigoy
Age - 24
Appearance - Stoz is stands at a mighty five and a half feet tall, has little musculature and at first sight is far from intimidating. He has a round cherubic face which is sharply juxtaposed by the near black stubble all along his face and his baggy deep set piercing blue eyes. The man's skin tone is naturally a very dark olive hue and his hair is near black, typically worn in a bowl cut style. Stoz tends to wear expensive clothing, the man can usually be seen in a tight dark grey sweater that seems to cling to his skin and a pair of black leather pants which seamlessly meld into black ankle high combat boots. When he wears a jacket, it is black leather with an three red stripes on each sleeve and an "8" embroidered onto each shoulder. The man usually wears a gold chain around his neck and a thin platinum wristband.
Background - Stoz's background is largely unknown, even to him. He never knew his parents and grew up being shuffled around the few other Strigoy who came East, mostly staying with regular's at Veny's and always treated well, a member of a small and close community who valued their culture. While unorthodox to many, Stoz has many fond memories drinking, smoking and gambling while on the road performing with his extended nonfamily and often stops by The Flytrap to catch up. From a young age, the man learned to become very proficient with the violin and was seen as something of a prodigy amongst his community, often being the youngest performer in any given ensemble. As soon as he had the name and the maturity to begin his solo career, Stoz gained a reputation as being something of a rebel, often performing his shows drunk, cursing at his audience, he even joined the initiates to bolster this persona. Despite his alcoholism, short temper and tendency to insult people, Stoz has a loyal following who enjoy both his musical abilities and his persona. Amongst those close to him, drunken yelling matches and humorous insults are par for the course and often taken as signs of affection.

Soul Crystal - Craban Dremodius
[spoiiler]Are you familiar with that tired cliché? The self-absorbed servant-beating jerk noble? This guy. Snooty, fussy, snide, you name it he was it. He'd probably kick puppies if they didn't have the good sense to stay away. Ah, who are we kidding? He'd order someone else to do it. The only thing he ever did himself was learn the fighting arts; there was a certain appeal to it he just couldn't put his finger on. He even went so far as to secretly participate in numerous fighting tournaments – many of which he himself funded had under false name
