character cheat sheet compiled by the wonderful Lumi. Give him your love. What's going on Humanity lives on the constant brink of extinction. It's not strong enough to compete with the ogres, not fast enough to escape from the elves, not savage enough to slay aberrations, nor does it have magic, like the dragons. They've relied on technological superiority, iron and siege equipment, to defend their cities, built in cliff faces or safely underground. Venturing outside is a swift way to die. You, however, are different. You've always displayed something above everyone else, be it strength, cunning, wit, drive. You're not just different inwardly, but there is something outward, as well: a brand, geometrical and apparently burned into your flesh. You do not know why this is so, but it has been so. Recently, growing up in Saxa Celate, you've been dissatisfied with the way things are. You've asked yourself why humanity has to live in this way. Unlike the countless others that asked the very same question, however, you believe you can do something about it. You believe you've only just scratched the surface of your power, and that you could accomplish anything with it. And then, you wound up in prison, for one reason or another. Nothing necessarily serious, but in prison you were tossed nonetheless. Perhaps fortunately, though, turns out you weren't the only one. Other individuals, also with the same mark as you, also imprisoned. Such an opportunity, you think, is only given by fate when something meaningful must happen. Places been to, races encountered Saxa Celate Saxa Celate is a city of some five or six thousand inhabitants, deep underground. It is rich in precious ores and minerals, but they amount to no value considering it is impossible to trade, there being no nearby settlements. Therefore, it's not uncommon to see diamond hinges or gold inlay on your random table. It does have, however, a proud tradition of weaponsmiths. Celate steel is acknowledged as the best steel (by whom we're not quite sure). The lack of wood means homes and buildings are hewn out of the stone itself. It develops haphazardly, levels connected via stairways. Another important feature are the waterways. Fresh water runs in abundance just by the city. It's used for public baths, complex and large machinery, and other cool things. The city has managed to create an agriculture -- water is redirected, creating an irrigation system, and raiding parties are occasionally sent to the surface to hunt for plants. Further, they've managed to grow the natural underground vegetation, some edible. They also have pit-like traps set up above them. Occasionally, food falls down them. Character creation You'll notice I've spoken about brands and powers, but haven't supplied any information on them. This is deliberate. It does not mean you're free to make up what you want. Leave the 'Mark' section empty until further notice. Before the storybook starts, I'll supply you with your mark and ability, tailored to your character. Therefore, I encourage you all to be diverse in character creation. Profiles below. [b]Name (look at Latin names for inspiration, if it's different be sure to specify why below):[/b] [b]Age (preferably not too young or old, there's going to be a lot of strenuous activity):[/b] [b]Gender:[/b] [b]Appearance (written description, picture if you'd like):[/b] [b]Personality:[/b] [b]History (only anything relevant/that could impact your character in the future):[/b] [b]Mark (leave this blank):[/b] [b]Other:[/b] ~ Post here for any questions and other stuff. This post will be periodically updated as the party uncovers information and places.

quick (and partial) map preview. Light green is grasslands, brown is mountains (they're not actually very tall), dark green is forest

@Aley, I was thinking of having Hermina shoot your character in the chest, or stab him in the neck. Depending on the distance between them.

An angel, a knight, a man who will bring light to where there is only darkness, I am the Morning Star, the Bringer of Light, hail to me as I am King Lucifer!

DX aw come on! Just because he can't die doesn't mean we should try to kill him.

Self defense, bandits, cause she can, and other such reasons.

Durans thinks the party is a bunch of bandits. They're returning to Aranka's camp, and he thinks she's in trouble. Sneaks up on them for a better look. Hermina notices and throws a dagger at him. BOOM.

I'm not sure Durans would think that Aranka being attacked by a bunch of bandits means she's in trouble...

edit: He might think HE'S in trouble for failing the watch though, and want a better look at what he let slip through before he went to meet with the ground again

I have legitimately no idea. I guess it's either @Avalon or @Aley. I've both given them post material.

In the winter months, snowstorms and rainfall in the Patagonian Ice Fields can drastically affect the landscape. Worsened by heavy winds, such storms can reduce visibility and lead to glacial calving, ice collapses, and avalanches. During these conditions, travel is not advised.
