[@Expolar] Aces. Conjuration and Transmutation I feel are Orchid's two more preferred schools of magic, hence the spell selection. She's very interested in trying to use Conjuration to contact other worlds and transmutation is just something that interested her as a child. Also great that I can use Booming Blade at range, I always felt the range ought to be weapon based and not default to 5ft. As for Orchid, lemme break it down to some funky lo-fi hiphop. [quote]Can you please tell me who are the Luna Seas that is mentioned in her backstory?[/quote] The Luna Seas is a cult that worships knowledge and eldritch lore. Despite all of that, they're not an "evil" cult in so much as they're an organization independent from things like academies and such that seek out knowledge from typically profane or dangerous sources, such as demons, orcs, and the underdark. Their name came from the fact that originally, they were a Warlock Cult of a Great Old One who indeed did bless them with great knowledge, and due to actions in the past did have some problems that could be considered evil, but have since than tried to stay on the straight and narrow. Their origins and acceptance of dark knowledge is why they were willing to raise Orchid, as they had no qualms about educating a typically "savage" race and try to raise her to be more open to things despite common appearances. [quote]Is there a particular reason why her appearance is like how it is, or are you leaving that for me to decide if there is a significant to it or not (PM me if you want to talk else where about it)?[/quote] Orchid was simply born albino. It has no major significance in terms of magic or prophesy, but naturally her own family didn't think highly of her which resulted in her being a rambunctious child when she was in the orphanage, though again she was raised kindly there despite her appearances. Orchid herself tends to simply not bring up her strange appearance whenever confronted, and to that end her alabaster mask helps hide her face and make people just think she's a particularly tall and muscular human. [quote]And as I have already asked about previous characters here, what is Orchid's goal(s) and why she ventures out? At the end of the backstory, it is mentioned that she became a strong in her own right through, physical and mentally, and seeks the thirst for knowledge. But are there any specifics, interests in anything in particular topics, or anything in general. I did notice that she has a background as a anthropologist, so is she interested in societies and cultures and their development?[/quote] Ultimately, Orchid's goals are two-fold: she wants to discover something great, but she also wants to create her own civilization. More specifically she wants to go on adventures to do things like explore a new land, find a lost civilization and it's treasure, or otherwise simply go somewhere new that will amaze her. A much longer term goal however is trying to reconnect to her tribe, who as far as she knows, was wiped out entirely when the humans attacked. Her education had brought up an uncomfortable fact to Orchid: there are many other nations, cultures, and tribes far more complex and interesting than her own native orcish. What little she knows about them is largely concerned with the fact they were obstacles in the way of various expansions, but they say nothing about what orcish civilization was like. What they did for fun, what their music was, cuisine, art, or anything sophisticated like that. All she knows is that they were once a threat, and they still are, but she wants to show the world that there is more to them than just monsters hiding in caves or forests. In a way, Orchid wants to be the hero who not only discovers new things and such, but also will elevate her people to a new status. She wants to be one starling example who takes her people out from the stone age and makes them into their own global super power. Of course these are merely dreams, but dreams that she intends to see through for as long as she lives. [quote] I an quite open to re flavoring of existing spells and the creation of new spells. But please just let me know ahead of time so we can discuss the change or creation of the spell so it can determine if it can be allowed or not.[/quote] Actually there is one spell I was wondering if I could create. A spell of Orchid's original design called "Alter Armament". It's a transmutation spell that can swap the properties of a weapon, or if a weapon lacks a property, add one to it. Here are the details: [hider=Alter Armament] Altered Amamament 1st level Transmutation Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action Range: Touch Component: V S M (A Weapon) Duration: 1 Hour You alter the properties of a weapon. You may replace one of it’s properties with the following: Light, Finesse, Heavy, Thrown (20/60), or Reach. If the weapon has no property you may give it one. It also becomes a magical weapon if it isn't already. When you cast this spell at a higher level, you can alter the property of one additional weapon for each level above one. [/hider]
