Backstory: The Monarch - 12 was created for a long forgotten purpose, by a long forgotten people. They were jacked by a numenera hunter, and sold to an affluent family, who kept them as a manservant. Having no active memories, Monarch learned all they know from them, including language and attitude.

A violent revolution freed them involuntarily, and monarch had wandered the earth ever since. They fell quite naturally into the trade of hunting numenera, but despite their freedom, they have never quite shaken the attitude of subservience that they picked up.

Numenera: Stars of Glass

Monarch-12 moved as well as they could through the crowd, stopping periodically as they did to politely allow others by. They were dressed as if for travel, armor layered with a tabard-like robe. Over their shoulder was a sturdy, but much patched satchel, and on their hip was a sword. Though they left their mechanical head uncovered, they knew people only looked with passing interest. Some suspected they were an automaton, some just assumed they wore a mask or helmet. Most didn’t seem to care either way, and their sword deterred the ones who did. Most of the time.

Patience was the mark of this Glaive, but eventually even a saint would choose the path of least resistance. When Mon had given way for the three hundred and twenty second person since arriving at this festival, they decided the nearest shop would do. An Aeon Priest(claiming to be the only one in town) was crying her wares. Monarch approached and addressed her, making no mention of her own physical oddities.

“Good morning,” the voice came out clear, the automaton’s vestigial mouth moving to mimic a human, which took away any doubts about the nature of this creature. “I do have some unknown numenera, as well as some for sale, if you buy or trade.”

Oh, thanks, I'm relieved, actually. I'm new to the source material, so I'm glad I managed to capture it okay.

Is it allowed to already have some numenera/artifacts? I know we're supposed to be hunters for them. Any limitations on what they might be if we do?

Will we be making them up as we go, or will you tell us what/if we find things?

Avatar: The Legend of Rosai

I mean, I guess not everyone knows that.

Avatar: The Legend of Rosai

I'm pretty sure the Avatar relics would be useless for identifying the Avatar now.

Spoiler

The past lives we're all erased, right? So the current Avatar wouldn't have any reason to recognize things that they had owned. Unless they were owned by Korra.

Hm, I have a couple of ideas, I kind of want to see what other people come up with before I make one, so I can pick the idea that will fill a niche rather than make repeats.

EDIT so I don't flood the thread double posting. Can you tell us a little bit about the town of Omar, so we can come up with a reason our characters might be there?

Numenera: Stars of Glass (New Players Welcome)

@Mortalya Alright, sounds cool. It sounds from the description like characters are pretty much anything goes, thematically and mechanically, is that right? What are the character types, and what limitations are there?

Numenera: Stars of Glass (New Players Welcome)

I like the look of this. I guess it's the setting of a tabletop game, but will we be using any tabletop aspects in our playing?

I think it could be an interesting and kind of humbling experience for the Avatar to have to seek a teacher for their native element after they've already started learning the other ones. Considering they are supposed to be at a mastery level by this point in their life, traditionally and historically speaking.
