@Stitches, @Haydrian Cindel, If you want to interact on your own prior to going to Brightwell for a while, I'm cool with it.

Would you like to interact on your own, or do you want me to provide something to do?

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic v3

Gavin Prince:

Name: Gavin Prince

Age: 18

Physical Description:


Important items: Smartphone, Laptop, Pistol, First Aid Kit.

Short Bio: Gavin Prince was the son of an artisan metalworker and sculptor who alternated between making ceremonial swords for rich people, practical swords for martial artists, and abstract art for museums and rich collectors. Sent to college to study fine arts, Gavin found himself attracted to history, literature...and both men and women. Nevertheless, he continued to persevere studying art and other subjects by day, working with his hands with his father by night. Despite said father tending to be...reserved on matters of sex and the body, his sole reaction to Gavin 'coming out' as bisexual was:

"Just get someone who can work with their hands."

And that was that. One day, on the eve of 2020, while 'celebrating' the new years' with his current boyfriend, Gavin fell asleep, drunk. He would then receive a vision of a beautiful, winged woman in white robes, with brown skin and black hair and deep blue eyes. She would then look at Gavin, and say:

"The World is about to be worse. Stop it." Power, exhilirating energy, would then enter Gavin, and he knew this, that this would be part of him, power that can be used to save people, both those with Magic and those without. He would then pick a school, and select two: High and Timespace, and increase his power in them because he only chose two schools out of six. And with that, he would drift back to sleep...

When he woke up, he was sober and without a hangover, and he knew what to do. Some hours later, he would apply for 'leave' from his university while informing his father that he would be going on a trip to study medieval armor-making techniques in Britain; this was a lie.

The truth was that he was going to go to the town of Brightwell, Illinois, where he would then send messages to people that, he knew, had been visited by the Malakim...

Skills/Flaws:

Metalworker - Gavin knows how to shape metal, and otherwise work with his hands. This also makes him a dab hand at power tools.

Swordsman - Gavin knows the basics of swordsmanship.

Guileless - Gavin is too honest and trusting for his own good.

Inexperienced - Gavin is new to this whole 'saving the world' business.

Spell List:

Eye of the Monarch (High Magic) - Gavin can see all Magic, whether it is being cast, or a passive effect. This also works on illusions.

Bolt of Prime (High Magic) - Gavin can send out a bolt of silvery-white energy that can inflict damage which cannot be healed by magic.

Dispel Timespace Magic (High Magic) - Gavin can dispel any magic that uses Timespace, including scrying spells.

Archives of Time and Space (Timespace) - Gavin can look at a reflective surface, and see visions of the past, present, and future.

Flight (Timespace) - Gavin can use his control of the fabric of space to fly up into the air without World Magic.

Gate (Timespace) - Gavin can open a portal as small as his fist or as large as an SUV and keep it open for at least 15 minutes. Said portal can lead to any place whose picture he had seen.

Edited the first IC post.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

You know, I don't actually know if she can read lmfao

She's looking for her uncle, and has no interest in getting to the bottom of her mysterious abilities. In fact she's more inclined to think her uncle will help her do that instead. She doesn't have the time or money to follow a letter on a whim either. If she saw the location in the letter in her dreams (which probably already helped her find other useful things in the past) she'd be more inclined to follow

@Stitches

What about dreaming about the letter and the location in it in her dreams first, then getting the letter?

[ASOIAF]: Before the Dragons Danced

For posterity's sake, here was what I planned for the game.

Post Draft for this Game

Princess Reshem mo Grazdan - Astapor

Astapor, city of the Good Masters, was large in scale, dotted with great pyramids of red brick where food was grown. As Princess Reshem and her flotilla, now transformed from an invading force into a diplomatic embassy, docked at the shore of the city's harbor, having sent word of their coming and rich gifts of treasure beforehand, the female admiral still did not know what their reception would be. For all they knew, the cheering crowds at the piers could be fake, and perhaps were. Nevertheless, the formalities were observed as the Good Masters' envoys greeted Princess Reshem with a larger escort of Unsullied than normal.

"Greetings, Princess Reshem mo Grazdan, Admiral of New Ghis," the chief envoy - No one the Princess knew - said with honeyed, false words. "Your beauty knows no bounds, as was the skill with which you destroyed the Navy of Yunkai."

Princess Reshem gave a smile just as fake, before she said back, "Thank you for your kind words. New Ghis brings gifts aplenty to thank one for such courtesy and goodwill." The smile turned thinner, "Yunkai had hoarded its wealth long enough. Now, I have been given word that a banquet is to be given in our honor, so that we can meet with the Good Masters? I look forward to meeting my aunt and uncle once more."

A reminder that King Grazdan had married his sister to one of them, thus gaining influence over the city and gain access to the Unsullied. For a brief moment, Pricness Reshem wondered whether plans were being made to dispose of her aunt and her husband, and came to the conclusion that they were and thus she had to act faster than they could. So it was good news to her that the chief envoy of Astapor nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Master Zhodas no Que and his Lady are in good health, and are in... Joyous anticipation of seeing you."

With the implication that he himself was not, Princess Reshem got the implication. Nevertheless, she swallowed her disgust and said, "Perfect. Guide us to the Feast."

-------

Her own Unsullied guards, mixed with men from New Ghis' Iron Legions, formed the Princess' security detail as she entered the feasting hall of the Red Pyramid of Astapor. There, mountains of food and drink, including cakes in the shape of the red pyramids of Astapor, were already being served. Pleasantries were had, but the Princess just barely held her temper through them.

When the head of the Good Masters was ready to discuss things with her, the Princess held back the urge to be blunt, and said to the ruler of Astapor, "And now, for our business. We wish to purchase more of the Unsullied for the need of keeping order in New Ghis."

The Chief Master, whose face Princess Reshem purposefully forgot due to his unimportance in the greater scheme of things, then responded, "How many, and with what payment?"

Now was the time to be blunt. "All of them. And all the boys in training, too. And as for payment, the treasure of Yunkai is loaded on our ships, guided by our legion of men. We can and will pay for the expenses."

The Princess-Admiral made sure not to show her true intentions, although her Aunt and Uncle-by-marriage knew what she had planned. For once the purchase was finalized, they would be the masters of Astapor - Not as independent rulers but as extensions of the Reunified Empire of New Ghis!

Oh hey that's a brilliant way to tie in the Astral Projection ability though - Abi's got the attention span of a walnut and gets into hijinks so I made the spell primarily so you as the GM can nudge her back into the right direction. I'll read the IC now and give her a dream of the location and head on over there and later on we can discuss other ways to use it in PM if you want?

@Stitches

I think that her receiving a mysterious letter out of the blue might be best unless she's not up for reading letters.
