Cerendale is the chief kingdom of the major continent of the region. A grand kingdom ran by humans but with no shortage of races making a life wherever they can. However Cerendale is steeped in mystery as many of the historical archives are hidden to the world. While few and far in between the majority of arcane masters are picked from the elites from the schoolhouses of the nobles. The most common kind of magic is divine magic granted by many of the churches and the odd druid or other forest dweller. Though this magic is mostly kept to healing and blessings rather than anything more dangerous.

With a strong force of law they have maintained a strained peace across the land. However during the full moon summer festival something began to sweep across the land. People began awakening powers that were not arcane nor divine. Hell people aren't even sure its magic. However psionic abilities have awoken at random to people all over the capital and surrounding areas. These new powers began the night of the festival and grew more powerful over the next few days. No one seems to know where these powers came from. No one knows why only certain people were affected. It reaches the poor, rich, young, old, human and non-human. There seems to be no factor between sex, race, age or other factor that can explain any kind of common denominator with these people.

The only thing perhaps more strange about the awakening of these powers is how quickly the kingdom had registered them as a threat. Over the last few days you have seen them making mass searches to find these people. At first some would openly display the new abilities but they were the first to go. Soon as people began hiding their abilities they found strange stones that would glow a greenish hue when held by those with psionic powers. No one seems to be safe. And those that are captured have never been heard from again.

A frenzy has swept across the capital. Neighbor turning on neighbor. A witch hunt where you must pray that the stones being thrust into your hands don't glow. It has only been 10 days since this madness has started.
__________________________________________________________________________

To recap it has been 10 days since the festival where suddenly people began to develop psionic powers. Psionic powers have never before been seen by the people of the land and there is no record of it in the dodgy history. How has your character, who was in the capital during the , evaded capture to this point? This is based off of a D&D campaign I had before so many of the concepts for classes and abilities were based off of that. Those unfamiliar with it needn't worry with it as it is simply a source in which I have drawn for the campaign. event

For abilities try to limit yourself to a single specialization or ability. The only thing pre-banned is any form of mind control. I am not stating that the power doesn't exist in the campaign but for ease of roleplaying I feel this ability needs to be banned.

For those that are interested message me about the kind of powers you would want and we can work it out. Here is the Character sheet.

Name:

Sex:

Race:

Age:

Occupation:

Power:

History: (brief)

Character Flaw: (This is a personal thing I put in my campaigns. I want your character to have at the very least one major flaw that is debilitating in some kind of way. Are they a liar? Addicted to some kind of drug? Greedy to the point you would steal from your friends? ect.)

@Metronome So he himself does not have powers? That is fine I just wanted it to be clear. Did he have any other kind of magic such as clerical magic?

The only things that wouldn't work is that since this is a fantasy setting there wouldn't be a "catholic" church necessarily but replace that with Pelor or something similar and it works as a cleric build. If you want to have zero magic all together then that is also fine.

I have no idea what Pelor is, or why it is any more or less fantasy appropriate than any other religion. I've always played Luca as a Catholic priest, so I don't really feel open to change that aspect of him. I'll just take him out.

@Metronome Pelor is a fantasy god from D&D. I only meant it as a fantasy religion. could be of your own creation. Though if you feel uncomfortable changing it feel free to make a different character.

Name:Ptolemy Hearthfire

Sex: Male

Race: Human (Fetch)

Age: 58

Occupation: Retired Knight

Power: Psyche Manipulation (AstralProjection,Mind over Matter Healing)

History: Ptolemy Hearthfire was a brave soul. He was a wise and kind man. He served under the Royal Family for 35 years, first as a squire, and eventually he joined the ranger knights that patrolled the highways of the kingdom. Eventually he retired to the comfortable home his service afforded him. He was not the most renowned Knight in the land, but he was respected in his division, and in retirement he was well taken care of and visited often by his only grandson.

Thirteen days ago, Ptolemy passed. He felt a pain in his chest, a tight gripping sensation around his whole body, then a slow easy release that felt... Cold but not cold like snow. Cold like a smooth stone one would find on the mossy forest floor.

Ten days ago, Ptolemy was not dead. He was confused. He wasn't supposed to be back. He wasn't a religious man, he didn't have unfinished business. Why had this happened? He opened up his crypt.

Once he had resurfaced from the catacombs he was met by the horrified eyes of his former squire. He remembered now that he had been promoted to guard over the crypts ceremonially. "Not you too... Ptolemy..." He said.
"What do you mean?"
He thrust a glowing gem into Ptolemy's hands and became intensely sorrowful. "This power... This plague... It's unnatural... I'm sorry Ptolemy, but you had your time."
Ptolemy didn't understand, but he knew that undeath was unnatural and he didn't want any part of it. "Do what you must, Son" he bowed his head.
A moment passed. Ptolemy heard the sounds of unsheathing... Followed by the sounds of a sword returning to its scabbard.
"Just go... They can't have two Hearthfire's this day..."
"WHat?!Who? Who of my kin has been taken?"
The former squire shook his head. "When the stone glows they take you. No matter how old or young, or how loyal your name. No matter how rich or poor. It doesn't seem right, Sir Ptolemy. If you are any semblance of the man you once were, perhaps you can get to the bottom of this. Perhaps they haven't hurt your grandson... Just GO. Please sir..."
And so he did. He ran, shocked and confused and angry, he ran for the familiarity of the sullen woods on the outskirts of Oranzo.

Character Flaw: Well for one he is now a half-undead character, and therefore looks like a very sickly ill old man. But personality wise, he had always been the more reckless of the knights in combat. He is wise before and after, but in the heat of battle he is animalistic, much to the horror of his fellow knights. He also has a soft spot for his only grandchild.

I apologize for being out. I was sick for a number of days but the RP is still a go for those interested.

Everyone that has proposed a character is okay to post in the character section.

I hope it's not too late to show interest. These seems neat! I'll work on a sheet if that's okay. Also, would a hunter of these psychics be allowed as a PC?

@Drunk Uncle Bob Letting you know here as well that I sent you a PM a while ago regarding some questions/details about the CS I hope to make. Hopefully it's still sitting somewhere in your Inbox for whenever you have a chance to reply!

I'll keep brainstorming character ideas in the meantime~
