[CLOSED] Stories from Idumea : Children of Avveel

I'd also like to know the extent and types of magic allowed. Of course, I'm not asking about how powered up magic can get come meta-game, but more like the strains put on a person for type X or Y.

@BytheSpleen

Magic and super natural arts is one of the areas I have not completely explored yet but this much I can tell.

Strength of one's art depends on his or her faith - understanding and knowledge of matter, unwavering trust that matter will heed when it is commanded. Using supernatural skills strains stamina. Running out of stamina means fainting, black out, coma of a kind depending of how severely the individual in case has been exhausted.

The most basic magic is natural magic, ability to control the elements - the natural world around you. For those who have made an extra effort towards light or dark, there is a possibility to add some extra flavor.

Alchemy, necromancy, and summoning are possible. A word on summoning. Because the embodied spirits have a will of their own they can't be commanded, only called. To become a summoner one must find the spirit, challenge the spirit's test, win and make a covenant with it. Loyalty to the covenant is the key to the relationship's strength.

Other forms of magic and supernatural arts are possible except those involved with space and time.

Anything else someone is wondering? :)

The Hoary Hosts

Okay. Good that you have something thought out beforehand!

The Hoary Hosts

Call me interested! Do you already have "a plot", twists or turns planned out beforehand? Or are is it going to go as it goes when we play?

Shroud

Name: Gavpi Almmai
Age: 52
Appearance: I am a bit chubby, not fat, but chubby and a bit round on my cheeks. My clothes are not exquisite but they are enough for me. Good and sturdy leather boots, rough forest green pants and a white rural cotton shirt. My ebony brown hair is a bit longer, not all too long, but I have it always in a ponytail to keep it out of my face.
Personality: Some might say that I am a somewhat jolly fellow - a natural salesman. Welcoming for the most and firm in my opinions, stubborn even. All in all I am just an all-around normal person who likes his work and loves his life.
Race: Human male
Position: Merchant (a pawnbroker)
Faction: I support my race, I am a "racist" but I don't persecute the accursed. I am cold and expressionless towards them outside some backhanded compliments and bad jokes.

1x1 with taistelusopuli [CLOSED]

@Otaku95 I sent you a PM!

Shroud

he's fine, but the part about killing one over the other, if it comes to that then at least give him some consideration for them

@Blizz

Got it!

Shroud

so what I'm getting from this is that your character is racist towards them but treats them fairly regardless?

@Blizz

Fairly and fairly.. If one comes to his shop he does want them out as fast as possible. Avoids them. If it came down to killing another human over a cursed one, he would kill the cursed one.

If you feel that my character is not aggressive enough towards the accursed, I will make him more aggressive. That is no problem.

[CLOSED] Stories from Idumea : Children of Avveel

What races can we expect?

@BytheSpleen

The nations and races of Idumea are human or very human like. The kingdom ruled from Helsset is mixed in races. You will find humans, elves, dwarves and mixed breed mainly. There are pale humans and dark skinned. Where they come from and who were their ancestors affect this. Elves are also different. An elf who has his/her roots deep in the forests naturally looks different from the one who comes from the dark underground caverns or from the one who came from the mountain tops.

The leading thought behind the inhabitation of Idumea is that everyone can be traced back to the "Adam & Eve" of Idumea. Thousands of years of isolation and living under certain conditions has formed the races to what they are now.

To make a list of what I have thought of in essence would be:
- Human (usually lives on the planes, on ground, sea shores etc)
- Elf (forest, mountains, deep underground)
- Dwarves (mountain side caves etc)

Thank you for asking! Anything else someone is wondering about?

Shroud

@taistelusopulii should've stated that, my bad:10-15 is the accursed prisoners age, humans can be any.

@Blizz

Thank you for the clarification! ;)

taistelusopuli's wardrobe

Name: Gavpi Almmai
Age: 52
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Appearance: I am a bit chubby, not fat, but chubby and a bit round on my cheeks. People say that I have a rather big and a bit pointy nose as if it is a bad thing but I think it fits my face just perfect.

My clothes are not exquisite but they are enough for me. Good and sturdy leather boots that my good friend made for me. He's a shoemaker - the best in town. Rough forest green or dust brown pants and a white rural cotton shirt is what I usually have on. My ebony brown hair is a bit longer, not all too long, but I have it always in a ponytail to keep it out of my face.

Personality: Some might say that I am a somewhat jolly fellow - a natural salesman. Welcoming for the most and firm in my opinions, stubborn even. All in all I am just an all-around normal person who likes his work and loves his life.

I support my race, I am a "racist" but I don't persecute those who are not human. I am somewhat cold and expressionless towards the others. I like giving backhanded compliments and telling bad jokes - especially of the others.

Profession: Merchant (a pawnbroker)
