Personality

As a nightwalker, Crow wears no true garments, though he is often in a human guise and as such tends to wear clothes along these lines. Beyond this there is a key detail to his the humanoid variety of his demonic form which should be brought to mind, and that is the presence of the many smoky tribal markings that run over his form. Among these are those that dwell on Crow's face, these lines serve as his mouth and will move in response to his mood to form expressions as if he had a true mouth. Additionally, while these markings do move when he speaks, his actual voice can be emitted from anywhere on his body, and typically resounds from the whole of him, bouncing sound waves in all directions as he speaks. Some have even stated that after he has been speaking for some time in this manner that the sounds become much like the clamor of a murder's wings and voices alike.

Day 3 - Night
^{Theme I ♦ Theme II ♦Theme III}

---

The night beckoned him and he answered its call, glass scattered in the air behind him, his great crimson wings spread wide, form hurtling through the air. Each breath, each movement, brought him closer to his query.

The Shade thought she could run and hide, but only the former was possible, and she couldn’t run forever. With his gun still in hand, Mairyell soared over the city and every time the Shade surfaced he aimed and fired.

Even with wind resistance and bullet fall off, his bullets full of Brisn hit the shadows she emerged from 7 times out of 10. With Brisn in her system to any degree she would slowly find her strength sapped and will flagging. He waited, eyes closed as he soared, using his hearing and smell to navigate a middle ground as she ‘bounced’ between shadows in different directions, trying to throw him off the trail.

Then, all at once, her scent faded. His eyes opened and he angled off, feet striking the flat roof of a skyscraper as he slid to a stop, wings flapping once. He took in the air and the vis within it.

Nothing. He exhaled and a smile came over his face, amusement turning his crimson eyes purple. He chuckled lightly and it mounted into a laugh as he shook his head and spoke aloud, “Had me for a second, but illusions are tricky to get right when you don’t understand your target’s senses properly.” He turned around in a swift spin, a grin plastered across his face. He released a tiny, weak pulse of Brisn, shattering the illusion by absorbing it, to reveal a number of shadowy tendrils striking out at him. He didn’t move fast enough and so they pierced him.

Lifting up its would be prey, the Shade slid its shadowy limbs all the way through the vampire’s body, impaling him on them. He laughed.

The Shade’s features screwed up in frustration and then pain, as the Hunter’s blood began to disintegrate her limbs. The blood rapidly began traveling up the tendrils and he watched as the Shade’s eyes widened, as it yelped, and then severed its own limbs, sinking into a shadow to escape.

“Hahaha, oh, I’m almost glad you showed up. I’d been itching for a good hunt. Still, shame about Alice, a real damn shame. Those kids too, they won’t be forgetting you. Of course, that’ll be the only thing you’ll be living on in: Their memories.” His amusement vanished with those last two words as he leapt back into the air, wings unfurling as if from nowhere. He was airborne once more, following her trail as she hopped further and further between shadows.

Her vis signature was getting weaker by the moment and it wasn’t because she was getting further away. About ten minutes passed of him following her at which point he landed on another roof and sat down. Taking in a deep breath he memorized the scent of her blood, of her vis, of her lifeforce, and then closed his eyes and waited.

---

Two hours passed of him sitting, waiting, meditating, and checking his phone. He sent a text to Aeris that read “Alive and Well. Hunting the Shade. Kids alright? No word from Raiden.”

Sending the message, his gaze lingering on Aeris’ name for a moment, he almost missed the moment that the Shade’s signature stopped moving. Pocketing his phone he pushed himself to his feet and took in another deep breath, Brisn pumping through his veins.

Revitalizing his body and pumping adrenaline through his system, he walked to the edge of the building and drew ℛend once more. Taking aim in the direction of the Shade he let the scent of the Shade ruminate in his mind as he expanded his senses via a healthy dose of Brisn and vis. Sounds grew sharper, smells more distinct, sensations almost uncomfortable against his skin.

He raised his arm higher, angling the muzzle of the gun upwards from his intended target, then adjust for wind resistance over the mile or four between them. Small slits in his skin sliced open as he punctured his own flesh with blood, letting the liquid flow up his arms and into the gun. It glowed a fierce blue, pulsating with his heartbeat.

He exhaled and shot once, twice, three times. He spread his wings and took off, pushing himself more than before as he climbed. Then he dove.

---

Hiding in the darkness in the outskirts of Ominar nursing her wounds, the Shade shuddered faintly, its form expanded to fill the entire warehouse. Having eaten a few people on her way to her lair, she felt a bit better. Still, she didn’t feel certain that she had shaken the Hunter, not certain at all.

How the hell was he finding her to begin with? Why had stabbing him hurt her It was like his blood had been acidic….

...and god those eyes, always changing colors. Piercing blue, dark crimson, and purple. She frowned, the narrow glowing eyes and mouth in the darkness shifting slightly. Those traits sounded familiar somehow.

Acidic blood. Eyes that shifted between three colors. Hunter. Vampire.

Wait. It couldn’t be. She couldn’t be that unlucky, right?

The north wall suddenly fractured in one spot from two impacts. Then a burning sensation lit up part of her extended shadow form, and she screamed as blue flames spiraled outwards through her, lighting the inside of the warehouse and engulfing her in pain even as they slowly began to fade.

Fuck, she thought, I’m dealing with Sanguine.

---

Form cutting through the sky like a bullet wreathed in blue flames, Mairyell made his approach. It only took him three minutes to cross the distance between him and his prey. Extending Brisn in front of himself, he increased the acidity of the blood throughout his body. He could almost feel it shifting to a black coloration before the Brisn absorbed a significant portion of it. He felt lightheaded for about ten seconds before his Core outputted enough vis and blood to replenish his body.

Thus, the Brisn struck the roof of the warehouse before he did, effectively ‘burning’ through it with the stored acidity of his blood. He opened his wings, they slowed him, broke, reformed and then held. He redirected his Brisn at the ground and used it to slow himself further.

The cement floor of the warehouse still cratered from his landing.

Eyes glowing purple in the darkness, he felt himself pierced from several directions by tendrils. He released a blast of Brisn, disintegrating all of the Shade’s vis directly around his body, before transmuting the remaining energy he’d released into an aura.

"I won’t come easy, Sanguine,” the Shade roared, condensing herself into a much smaller space within the warehouse. The air seemed to warp around Mairyell as the licentia exerted her vis on the shadows in the warehouse, using them like a physical force to press against his aura.

He stalked towards her, gaze meeting hers. The pressure grew as the distance shortened and he found himself slowing down. Gritting his teeth he exhaled, flaring the aura of Brisn around him with each breath. He kept moving.

“This isn’t enough to stop me, Shade. You’ll have to try much harder than that.” As if on cue, his Brisn flared, flickered, then faltered, the sensation of it in his form dimming as well. His brow raised before his eyes widened, the Shade’s gaze suddenly right before him, its form enveloping him, he felt just the faintest thread of wariness enter him.

Steeling himself, he tried to exert Brisn, but it was in vain. The only way that was possible was if she was using some kind of anti-magic, which was...rare for a being of her sort. Dangerous too. Sadly, that sort of thing only worked to deal with proper spells. Taking a breath he exhaled, and let his skin split in a hundred places, releasing blood from his body. He couldn’t control it, but that didn’t matter. He moved, using his prodigious strength to escape the Shade’s clutches.

It was like trying to run underwater. It took a few moments, but finally he got up to speed and increased his blood output, releasing streams of it like whips and trails as he moved.

The pressure lessened, as did the intensity of the dispell, allowing him to channel Brisn through his body again. Immediately he could run faster, shifting into a blur as he circled the licentia.

She lashed out at him, and occasionally hit, quite nearly cleaving an arm off at least twice. Her hold weakened further, his speed increased, until he jumped into the air above her, and stopped. Unveiling his wings he sent a blast of air downwards at her and the blood that had been building the air around her form, held there by the pressure of the shadow’s under her control, suddenly struck inwards. The droplets came together into numerous needles, and pierced her. She screamed, the burning of the acidic blood harming her even as she was.

He fell onto her, talons made from blood digging into the shadows of her body, pinning her down as his wings wrapped around her. Claws made from blood digging in as he closed his hands on her. The needles of blood merged with his crimson wings, and a cocoon formed around her form. A blue glow spread across the blood, trapping her completely.

He rose from her, wings melting into his form as he stood over the trapped licentia. Raising his hand he made a few lanterns from Brisn, lighting the area around him. No screams. No reaction. Good. He only smelled her scent from within the cage of blood.

“We’re going to take this slow, Shade. I’m going to bite this little prison I’ve made, and drain your vis until you’re a barely conscious group of soul cores. When I am satisfied that you have suffered enough, I’m going to take you to my associates. They’ll decide what to do with you. Scum.” He then sat down, texted Aeris that he’d be available tomorrow, and set to work.

In Ominar, a coastal European city, taken over by the prae--one of two species hailing from another realm—trouble brews. In the few months the public has shown a measure of public outrage to the rule of the prae, which while legal, was established through dubious means. Additionally, with the prae's mistreatment of the licentia--the other of the two otherworldly races--humanity and those licentia willing to stand up against the prae fought back. In an effort to liberate all those who had been wrongfully incarcerated by the prae, the Resistance was formed by a group of likeminded folk and proceeded to unveil themselves to the world in spectacular fashion. Managing to infiltrate one of Ominar's three prisons, the Resistance was able to successfully free the wrongfully imprisoned therein and hide them from the prae--at least to the best of their ability. Still, for now the Resistance is but a small organization fighting against the powers that be.

Meanwhile, the local leader of the prae, an Exeo by the name of Aismael Vea Vartari plots to demonize those who would Resist them, and to use their actions as further reason that licentia everywhere should be driven out, imprisoned, or otherwise oppressed. On the other side of things, the Resistance is soon to come out of hiding once more and resume their actions against the ruling prae in hopes of ousting their control of the city. As these plans play out, the world watches, paying close attention to the trade hub that Ominar has been for a long time now, waiting to see if they ought to intervene or not.

Hopefully they decide to do so...before things spiral out of control.

⊰ Starting Off

---

You are a resident of Ominar, or someone who has come from abroad recently, your interest may vary greatly. Some of you will come to join the Resistance and fight against the prae who--though misled--are not any more depraved than your every day human. You may be of the licentia, a highly individualistic species with vastly differing natures--be they magical, physical, or mental; or perhaps you are of the prae, having recently come to Medius--the home realm of man--to see what it has to offer, to learn or to fight for the sake of your species betterment; or you may be human, attempting to survive, and to thrive even alongside beings who from birth might be called your betters--ever struggling to rise above your fellows and those who might stand in the way of your ambitions or your happiness. Regardless, there is a place for you here and we are both willing and able to make you as comfortable as we can. We are here to help.

Note: We—that being the GMs [Celaira and myself(yoshua171)] are currently working on reorganizing the lore located in the first three posts of the OOC thread, as well as adding additional entries. A large body of this lore is not strictly necessary for play, but is merely information that may be useful to some players or is there so as to be more accessible. If you would like to contribute lore feel free to do so—provided you are willing to work with us to make sure it fits into the world more seamlessly and so that it may be approved and then added to its proper place in one of the lore posts.

⊰ Ⱦerminology

Hider

Priscus: Described as a paradise by those humans who have seen it, Priscus is the Prae's realm of origin as well as the place in which the vast majority of their kind reside.

Medius: The realm of man, reminiscent of our own, though its cultures and societies differ. While the Prae and Licentia have appeared prior, their most prominent entrance into human history occurred in 1563. From then onwards the realm of Medius found itself populated by increasing numbers of all three races.

Torqueo: The realm from which the Licentia originate, Torqueo is, in its own way, bountiful--though perhaps not in the same way as its counterpart, Priscus. Instead, Torqueo is a resource-rich location full of exotic, and often dangerous, flora, fauna, and materials.

Pylae: Colloquially known as 'the Rift', Pylae is a pseudo-realm possessing inconsistent space-time, which due to the difficulty of properly exploring it, so far lacks definition . Pylae is located in all space wherein Medius, Priscus and Torqueo are not.

Anima: The common term among the three races for the soul or internal life force. The term is also often used to refer to the pool of internal power utilized for magic.

Vis: A term used to describe both energy in general, as well as to refer to a being's external energy, sometimes called the aura by humans.

Ostium: While few but the most knowledgeable of magical researchers understand it, Ostium is the term used to describe that which connects a being's Vis and Anima. To utilize magic at all, one must learn to control the Ostium, so that the power of their Anima may be released.

River Metaphor-- If the Anima is the river source and the Vis is where river meets ocean, then the Ostium is a dam which can be opened and closed to regulate the flow of the river and the connection of the user's control to the user's external energy.

Manifest: An ability unique to the Prae, the Manifest, or Manifested State, is the term used to refer to a Prae's ability to manifest their Anima through their unique set of markings. Every Manifest is different, having a wholly unique appearance, though they are most often wing-like in appearance. The Manifest is an enhanced state for Prae, making their imbuing more powerful and allowing them full access to their capabilities--provided they have trained sufficiently. While all Prae--with extremely rare exceptions existing--possess a Manifest, they are not born with the innate ability to properly control it. So it is that they must train to use it properly.

Prisms: Crystals harvested from Priscus by the Prae for use by 'Mirage-type,' Prae. Prisms, as far as the world is aware, cannot be used by other races. These items are used by Mirage-type Prae to capture and store beings or objects of import for ease of storage or safety.

Licenti: The term used to refer to an individual Licentia, rather than their kind as a whole.

Growth Stage: Licentia in a state of physical and magical flux, their primary abilities being those of shapeshifting. Licentia in this stage have one surefire weakness: A solid Anima that resides somewhere within their body.

Trial Stage: Licentia who have, often temporarily, exited the Growth stage, entering a period of more stable existence wherein their form typically remains the same and their magical abilities expand to compensate.

Eximius: The third stage of development for Licentia in which they cease to cycle between the Growth and Trial stages and gain a stable form with stable magical abilities--these are often enhanced in comparison to other Licentia. Most Licentia deify them and so it is that they act as the leaders for their kind, when such are needed.

God-Queen: The name used to refer to the Grand/High Queen of the Prae, who is central to their social structure and continued prosperity. A God-Queen is chosen and created by no less than eight hundred Prae choosing a single individual as a host before sacrificing themselves to imbue the host with tremendous power.

Exeo: Essentially lesser God-Queens, the Exeo, or Queen-sisters/daughters, are Prae who have been given a portion of the God-Queen's Anima so as to empower them. The Exeo act as the voice and hands of the God-Queen in realms abroad.

Mirage: A classification made by humans after continued observation of Prae. Mirage Prae are individuals who use their innate magic to manipulate/spawn elemental effects, or whom specialize in telepathic abilities and healing. While all Prae can train to become a Mirage, sometimes individuals are born with talent in the three aforementioned areas. Some rare Prae of this type are born in a more etheric or elemental state, which they cannot exit. Such individuals lack a Manifest and cannot survive without their element for long. The reason these individuals are born at all is unknown to even the Prae. It should be known that Prae do not use this term to describe themselves.

Gypsy: A classification made by humans, Gypsy-type Prae are individuals with specializations that give them enhanced psychic capabilities. More often than not, Gypsy-type Prae can both be born, but they can be trained as well. These Prae are capable of advanced telepathy and allegedly clairvoyance--which is exceedingly rare among Prae. Some Prae with such abilities are born with more intricate markings and crystals, with their Manifested state being far more unique in comparison to their peers. Occasionally, a born Gypsy is capable of using their voice alone to ensnare/hypnotize both humans and licentia. It should be known that Prae do not use this term to describe their own kind.

Paladin: A term of human make used to refer to Prae who have trained themselves to both bond with the Anima and participate in combat. Prae with specializations which fit into the Paladin category are the rarest of the three more common specialties--Paladin, Guardian, and Warrior respectively. The abilities of a Paladin typically involve healing, of both self and others, as well as damage absorption/redirection, advanced enchantment/imbuing, and touch initiated telekinesis. Many Prae with these skills are chosen to serve the God-Queen and occasionally her Exeo. It should be known that Prae do not use this term to describe their own.

Guardian: A term used by humans to describe Prae who specialize in a form of imbuing which allows them to bond with the Anima of another being. This ability allows them telepathy and/or empathy with the bonded individual and they may take on pain or various levels of damage, as well as intuitively knowing where their ward is. Guardians also typically specialize in healing, allowing them to mend the wounds of both themselves and their ward, if necessary. Once bonded, a Guardian is bonded forever, even if their ward dies as their link to the Anima as it passes on remains. Unless a Prae Guardian is already close to their ward, the bond they form with them starts shallow and gradually deepens, eventually intrinsically linking the two in most ways. The Prae do use members of their kind with this skillset to watch over and protect individuals they deem important--though some bond of their own volition. Becoming bonded requires that the Prae physically split their crystal, imbuing half of it into their chosen ward--this process requires both a rather involved ritual and is typically very painful for the Prae. It should be known that Prae do not use this term to describe their own.

Warrior: A term used by humans, and some Licentia, to refer to Prae whose trained specialty allows them to better engage in combat. Warrior Prae have trained themselves to be adept at using their imbuing to enchant armor and weaponry so as to amplify their movement speed and combat efficacy. Prae do not use this human terminology to describe themselves.

Bridges: The colloquial term used to refer to the points where the three realms connect. Bridges do not form from Priscus to Torqueo and all Bridges tend to be well guarded on both ends--though those to Torqueo are less guarded on the Torqueo end. These 'Bridges,' will, typically switch locations randomly every decade or three, though the shortest period of time in recorded history was two years.

Rift Storms: Bridges can spawn anomalous time-space storms that spontaneously cause vis eruptions, and distortion of space. Typically, Rift Storms do not last more than two hours, though there are rare exceptions.

Focus: An object used, typically by human magic users, to better focus and channel one's vis. A focus is typically made from crystal, metal, or biological material such as bone, or liquids.

The way the title section appears below, the existence of hiders for organization, and the sections therein are necessary. Aside from that code your CS how you want, if you want it pretty, but aren't amazing with BBcode, feel free to come to Celaira or myself, we're code wizards I tell ya, wizards!
_{Skill may vary~}

For clarity's sake, Celaira is likely to do her code offsite, because she's a Journeyman wizard. She doesn't mind doing the same for others, in fact I'm sure she'd be thrilled if you asked her to do so. I on the other hand strictly use Guild BBcode, but I'm damned good at it--so there's that.

Standing at 5'7 and weighing in at 128 lbs, she is a rather lithe prae, typically wearing a ceremonial eye covering that shields her startling white eyes from others, and the world from her gaze. Her form could be considered healthy with an above average figure for a prae woman. She moves with a regal grace becoming of one with her station. Despite her gaze being obscured, many a prae have faltered at her presence and withered beneath her scrutiny.

Belongings

Communicator: Something of an implant, Mnaecilia has a high tech trans-planar communicator made with prae technology. The ‘item’ is not visible due to being subtly worked into her body and protected by a variety of methods--primarily through shielding and the enchanted durability of the materials it is composed from.

Heirloom: Something of a signet ring that she was given by her mother, this family heirloom is a reminder of her relatives even though she seldom sees them. The item is incredibly durable--clearly enchanted--and she continues the long standing tradition of repeatedly imbuing it with vis so that even when their family is gone...the ring will still remain.

She wears the ring on her left index finger.

Equipment

Ritual Cloth: A single length of opaque black cloth that remains wrapped around her arms. This cloth is engraved with what appear to be faint runes, which do not glow and are only visible at a closer inspection. This cloth seals her vis, stabilizing it within her form so as to keep her Manifest under control. Further, the cloth serves to conceal the appearance of her markings and to somewhat suppress her awareness of vis. The material is much more durable than it appear as it is enchanted by a constant flow of vis from Mnaecilia herself. She is fully capable of using them to block most mundane weaponry and, with further augmentation and a fair deal of skill she may even use it to dampen or block some vis-based assaults. Wrapping the cloth around someone else will have the same effects as it does on her, but they will appear to affect others more than they do her.

Ceremonial Veil: Always draped over her eyes and forehead where it remains despite outside interference, Mnaecilia's veil has two purposes. The first is to dampen her ability to perceive and effect vis, while the second is to seal off her eyes excepting in extreme circumstances. As such, the veil is seemingly impossible to remove or destroy, both protecting and restricting access to her eyes at all times.

Prism: A refractive crystal typically used by Mirage prae to seal beings within; Mnaecilia's Prism is instead utilized to store vis in addition to containing Crescendo, on occasion.

_{[ ⊰⊱ ] ℭ apabilities}

Mental Skills

Prae Telepathy: As common an ability as it is among her kind, it is one that is seldom mastered. Like many magical and psychic talents, the art of Telepathy is a complex one, though it is defined by a small number of relatively simple concepts. One might boil Telepathy down to the art of communicating mind-to-mind without physical medium in order to transmit emotions, sensory impressions, and the abstract idea. While human telepathy and even licentia telepathy tend to have abject limitations based on the physiology and psychology of both the sender and receiver, prae telepathy takes things a step further. Most notable perhaps is their ability to treat thought, emotion, and sensation like a computer would files, allowing them to codify, encrypt, decrypt, zip, and unpack information and send it through not just their own vis, but ambient vis as well. While doing this with human or licentia telepathy typically results in information loss or corruption, doing so via the prae method does not due to the way the information is passed on; though communication between realms is still nigh impossible without a medium more stable than ambient vis.

Of course, despite its superiority above the telepathy of other races, Mnaecilia’s unique connection with the God-Queen has barred her from certain uses of her incredibly powerful talent. So it is that as long as she wears the Ceremonial Veil and Ritual Cloth she cannot use her telepathy to assault the mind of another being regardless of race or strength. Despite this weakness, mental barriers serve little to no purpose against her, allowing her to transmit thoughts, impressions, emotions, and sensations over a vast distance with minimal effort.

While Prae Telepathy can certainly be used to lull another being into believing that transmitted thoughts, emotions, impressions, or sensations are their own, Mnaecilia’s is not unless she enters her Manifest. As such, so long as she does not do the aforementioned all transmitted information is undeniably distinct from the mind of the receiver and its contents, allowing them to immediately recognize the presence of a foreign psyche.

Analytical and Emotional Intelligence: As one might expect from a spiritual leader among her people, Mnaecilia has an incredible capacity for understanding both the mindstate of others as well as the world around her to an exacting degree. She is able to--even without her telepathy and empathy--discern the general emotional state of people in her direct vicinity provided that she can hear, smell, and/or touch them. If she utilizes her vision as well, this perception gains an even more potent clarity as her gaze pierces the veil of deception and trickery to unearth the truth of the world around her. Similarly she is quick witted, observant, and beholden to the truth making her difficult to fool even on the worst of days. Yet, perhaps because of her nature she is less likely to have sympathy for those who lie to her and so a small untruth can lead to a rather significant consequence. In short: Woe shall fall upon those who dare deceive this proxy, for through her they deceive the God-Queen herself.

Physical Skills

Martial Training: As a proxy, Mnaecilia must be prepared for the possibility of violence in the pursuit for the truth and the continued prosperity of their illustrious race. As such she was trained in the martial skills and while not what one would call a true warrior, she is no slouch in combat. Capable of handling a number of weapons as well as conducting herself without them, Mnaecilia has gone through extensive training regimes to make sure that she is in shape and ready for whatever the world throws at her in her services to the Will of the God-Queen. As a result she has considerable stamina, enough physical resilience to take a couple of armed hits with little to no damage, and of course sufficient physical strength and speed to allow her to match most combatants that don’t completely outclass her. One would consider her martial skills smack dab in the middle between “Novice,” and “Master.”

Domineering Presence: A result of her Divine Connection, her bearing and her mastery of the art of Telepathy, Mnaecilia’s presence acts much like a physical force as she strides through the world with confidence and purpose. For a prae, standing in her presence is both exhilarating and terrifying for to do so is to be as spiritually close to the God-Queen as most will ever get. This effect can cover a radius anywhere between 10 and 85 meters, though its usual range gravitates towards the lower end of the spectrum. This ‘aura’ fades in strength only once outside of the aforementioned radius, though it does so more drastically if it is stretched over a greater distance to begin with. As a result, her presence and imminent arrival can typically be detected several minutes before one ever sees her, lending a sense of imminent jubilation or doom depending on the relative innocence of those affected.

It should be noted that Mnaecilia is entirely in control of her Presence at all times; allowing her to extend its breadth over a 20 meter radius when under the effects of her limiting garments. It is only when these garments are removed and her Manifest unleashed that it may expand past this point. Furthermore, due to her control over this Presence, the proxy may focus it more intensely on someone if she chooses to, essentially mimicking the effects of a piercing--and all seeing--gaze at will. Perhaps most frightening is the fact that she can do this to up to 8 people at a time though the effects on them will vary depending on their mental resilience and race.

*Prae are more susceptible to this ability than the other races due to the influence of the God-Queen.

Divine Connection: A connection that all proxy are afforded once they have gone through their initiation; the Divine Connection is one established via ritual between the God-Queen and a Proxy. This link, once established, allows the God-Queen’s Will in its purest form, as an impression, be passed onto any--and all--proxies. This lets them act in accordance to her wishes even without any direct input from her. Additionally, this link allows proxies one other boon, that being one of temporary infusion for the in their times of need, a proxy may draw vis from the God-Queen, bolstering all of their abilities drastically. The extent to which their abilities can be bolstered depends on their capacity, which is improved via rigorous training and regular rituals to strengthen their bond to their eminent Queen. It should be noted that a proxy’s rank is decided by three factors, which are as follows:

The clarity, accuracy, and frequency of their interpretation of the God-Queen’s Will; the depth of their intelligence, devotion, and spiritual wisdom; and of course their capacity to receive and weather the power of the God-Queen in times of need both great and small.

Imbuement: An inherent ability among prae, Imbuement allows a prae to impart their vis not just to individuals upon their death, but into objects or people to influence them magically. While this ability has many uses, its two most common applications being telekinesis and enchantment. To initiate this ability a prae must either establish direct contact with their desired target or transfer their vis from an already imbued object/entity into their new ‘target(s).’ Once this first step is accomplished a prae may manipulate the imbued object in a wide variety of ways. In the case of telekinesis, a prae imbues an object or substance with their vis and then ‘binds’ the vis to the structure of the material, allowing them to move it according to their will. Enchantment on the other hand is typically more complex and, as it turns out, is Mnaecilia’s specialty.

While Imbuement-Telekinesis merely binds an object or entity’s structure with the user’s vis and then moves it, Imbued-Enchantment is the act of altering the inherent structure and properties of a given object, substance, or material in some way. While those unskilled in Imbued-Enchantment might only be capable of bolstering the base properties of their chosen article, someone with greater mastery of the art can do incredible things; often resulting in the properties of the final product being wildly more exotic than before.

A chief example of this departure into the exotic is Mnaecilia’s primary weapon: Crescendo, which takes Priscan air and vis to create an object that not only exerts its own force, but also acts more like a solid object than a gas. Due to the incredible amounts of vis packed into Crescendo it doesn’t exert physical force normally. Instead the Vae Maoris may output almost any amount of kinetic energy on impact--or in close proximity--to itself so long as it possesses vis to fuel the process. As such, even passing contact with Crescendo can result in a disproportionate amount of structural damage.

*Vae Maoris: A term utilized by prae to describe enchanted objects created via imbuement. The term is roughly equivalent for the human/licentia term “Artifact,” which is used to describe incredibly powerful enchanted items. However, unlike Artifacts, Vae Maoris include substances that have been sufficiently altered by Imbuement.

Crescendo: Depicted in her appearance, Crescendo is a unique one-of-a-kind construct composed of approximately one ton worth of Priscan air infused with enough vis to blow clear through a twenty foot thick wall of steel. By compacting this vis-infused Priscan gas into a crescent-shaped construct bound to her will, Mnaecilia has managed to create an object with incredible--if unconventional--durability, cutting power and utility. As almost any object infused with a prae’s vis, Crescendo can be moved telekinetically within a certain range of the proxy, allowing her to use it as both a defensive and offensive tool as she wishes. By exerting the incredible forces contained within the construct she may cleave through most materials and magics with varying amounts of effort depending on their durability.

Conversely, she may exert these forces inwards or outwards on a flat plane perpendicular to the edge of the bladed crescent, effectively allowing her to create a powerful force either that can be used for a variety of purposes. With focus, this force can be applied inwards in a more particular fashion, allowing Mnaecilia to ‘anchor’ Crescendo to herself, an individual, or an object with significantly less vis--provided it is not being actively infused by a wielder. Once ‘anchored,’ Mnaecilia may move herself, the individual, or object(s) in question as if she brought them telekinetically under her sway, but only so long as Crescendo remains anchored. This allows her to amplify her own speed, resilience, as well as allowing her flight even outside of her Manifest.

Manifest: Ascendant Nova

Discarding her restrictive garments, Mnaecilia may unveil her Manifest, the removal of her scarf and veil resulting in a tremendous eruption of force as her vis pushes against the limits of her ostium. So fierce is this shockwave that it sunders even Crescendo, scattering the construct over a wide area. Her eyes and skin begin to glow with mottled blue light, revealing her once unseen markings. Thin formations of metal overlay her skin, her markings connecting them as they reveal themselves. Those upon her back spread into the air as her vis suffuses them and gives them physical form, causing air to condense as her vis wrests control of it from nature itself, condensing it rapidly.

A shortness of breath briefly results before winds gradually escalate in intensity, ever flowing inwards towards the proxy. Light takes on a bluish hue as her vis saturates it, metal fragments forming as if from thin air to create the outline of wings at her back. The metallic substance continues to form around her throughout the duration of her Manifest.

While her Manifest is active, Mnaecilia becomes capable of infusing objects, materials, and substances with her vis merely via proximity. The state amplifies the range of her Presence, the potency and application of her Telepathy, but most of all it brings to bear the terrifying power of her Imbuement. So long as she is in this state she can freely enchant and manipulate ‘objects’ infused with her vis, endowing numerous qualities to them in the process. However, unlike a normal prae whose Manifest can only be active for a limited amount of time, Mnaecilia’s tremendous stores of vis coupled with her connection to the God-Queen mean that she is feasibly capable of maintaining her Manifest indefinitely. Of course, this has its downsides, as it has always, with the most serious one being that without the God-Queen’s vis her Manifest will remain active until her vis is completely depleted, which will kill her. This reveals the true purpose of the Ceremonial Veil and Ritual Cloth, which act as limiters for her mutated Ostium and tremendous stores of vis. Without those two items--particularly the Ritual cloth--Mnaecilia’s Manifest would inadvertently kill or drive her into a coma. Such is the price for so great a power.

*With the boon of the God-Queen’s Divine Connection, Mnaecilia will not die from her Manifest, but may be struck unconscious when her own vis runs out, leaving the God-Queen to trickle in enough vis to keep her alive, if unconscious.

Didn't post with CB because of the fact that he's waiting for Headhunter. So he has nothing to add to that part of the RP atm. I'll probably just post with him next round instead.

Evelyn Chambers – Tulpa

Taking into mind the resources at their disposal and the information they had, Evelyn listened to the second briefing—though she remembered the first time they'd been explained the layout from earlier in the drive. Of course, this time she was only half paying attention, the rest of her awareness on her shadow which she had darting around to touch various materials on their way to the warehouse.

Once they got there she'd have any number of various materials for her projection to use when she decided to manifest it. Since she didn't have much to add, she merely met the lieutenant's eyes and nodded, before looking over her team with a slight smile, though her mask hid it.

This is going to go smoothly, she told herself hopefully. Still, a part of her hoped that for some reason they'd find a bit more resistance than expected. She'd been itching to put down some crime for awhile and she didn't like not getting to use her power properly—now that she'd done so before.

She almost winced at the thought of that first mission with Sona—her heart fluttered and she had to catch her breath. Quickly she dismissed the thoughts and went back to 'scanning' various materials on their way there. She wanted to be ready.

Pleased with G4M3R's choice, Jake nodded his head and glanced at the others. "I'll wait outside,” he said then smiled, looking to their leader. “Take care of yourself.” He then walked towards Gabriel, giving him a wave, before passing him by and exiting the building. He gave it a wide berth and then transformed, feeling the odd sensation of being nowhere for half a second, being disembodied, before he felt the sensation of his existence expand. Serpentine and many limbed he pushed himself from the ground and flew upwards somewhat, avoiding power lines and billboards as he moved himself to the roof and then partially hung off of it to watch the entrance while he awaited the others.

If this Gabriel was someone not to be trusted, he'd like to give the man a taste of the shit he'd be in if he decided to mess with them somehow. Plus, he much preferred this form, if only because of how alive he felt while he was in it.

Still tinkering, her attention only peripherally focused on a few other things, it came as a complete surprise as a man she'd glimpsed fighting Krabbe's men closed the distance and began bombarding her with questions. When she started to actual hear his questions proper a smile crossed her features and her eyes lit up. She almost got a chance to open her mouth and reply, but Krabbe spoke and his voice cut her thoughts off quite short.

Her gaze darted over in the direction of the Rum Runner and she frowned, before steel came into her eyes and she turned to look back at the Bounty Hunter. She spoke up so he would hear her, “We could help you and we all survive, or we could retreat, knock him into the ocean or back onto your ship where he'd be your problem. So how about we help eachother. We all get to not die, you get your crewmember back, and we get to go free!” She smiled cheerily at the man even as she took out two syringes. She threw one in Feya's direction.
