o.1 your aether

There are three pools of Aether: Black, Red, and White. You are attuned to one of these pools.

o.1.i black aether

Black Aether may be channeled through swords, knives, scythes, and machinery.

♦ Black Swords will evoke The Dark Knight, a greatsword-wielding soul sapper who may use his own aether to drain the life from his victim.

♦ Black Knives will evoke the Mesmer, who may manipulate the mind of her foe with illusions to allow for deadly melee attacks.

♦ Black Scythes invoke the soul of the Necromancer, who commands the dead and the departed souls to do her bidding.

♦ Black Machinery will evoke the Apothecary, whose concoctions and tonics enfeeble and bolster enemies and allies.

o.1.ii red aether

Red Aether may be channeled through swords, knives, staves, machinery, as well as cesti.

♦ Red Swords evoke the soul of the Berserker, who is a dual-wielding swordsman whose power relies on taking damage and dealing it to keep himself alive through adrenaline.

♦ Red Knives evoke the soul of the Vagrant, who is a nimble and masterful bladedancer. This master at arms is hard to hit and hits hard, so caution is advised.

♦ Red Staves evoke the soul of the Summoner, a powerful mage who wields elemental magics to eliminate and bind her foes.

♦ Red Machinery evokes the soul of the Machinist, a gadgeteer who is masterful with gunworks and bombing. The Machinist should not be considered one-trick, however, as his gadgets are quick to turn to artillery.

♦ Red Cesti evoke the soul of the Monk, a melee healer who gathers energy to assuage injuries through attacking enemies. They are masters of the energies within the chakra, and at great heights may awaken hidden potential in allies.

o.1.iii white aether

White Aether may be channeled through swords, staves, and cesti.

♦ White Swords evoke the soul of the Templar, a shining knight who wil defend her allies and aid the injured in combat through the flow of White Aether. Wields a sword and shield.

♦ White Staves evoke the soul of the Astrologian, who wields White Aether for her allies and against her foes to control the hands of fate. Predominantly skilled in the healing arts, the Astrologian is alternatively known as the Medium for her ability to predict strategem through arcanum.

♦ White Cesti evoke the soul of the druid, a master shapeshifter who is at one with nature. There is no doubt that her power stems from the wild itself, and there are boundless speculations on the confines of her abilities to shapeshift into fauna.

o.2 your body, mind, and spirit (and livelihood)

Anberlin Calloway's legal team consisted of no more than six members. You were one of those six. That was your life. This is your file. Perhaps you have read it, or perhaps you have not. After all, she has made notes on you over the years. Maybe it would be best not to allow the calamity to water-damage this, however it is you feel.

Code: Select all
Anberlin Calloway, Esq
1409 Angara Fairway Apt 30φ
Judiciary District, Lemuria

This is your file to be given with your severance pay. As stated in my missive, you hold my regrets for your sudden unemployment; however, I will not bear shame for upholding my law firm. Perhaps we will meet again if the need arises. I believe I would enjoy that.

@Lumi *waves* Hai! Thank you for the ping!
D'you already have an idea of when exactly will this start, or are you justwaiting for two more members? I'm reserving a spot either way, probably as a Red Machinery-bound character... Either that or a black scythe. *will have to think hard*

Twaggy!

The launch date is puzzled into the DT info! I wanted to ensure folks had time to chew on their characters beforehand, so all Aether releases have been staggered. All the same, SPOT RESERVED!

Also, really all you lock into with your class combo (say "red machinery") is your Aetherpool. Once you have that, you can swap weapons and change your class to whatever you want inside that pool.

But YAY! thankies!


Aaaah. Aether movepool doesn't equal weaponry choice provided I'm still bound to the class combo I first chose. Gotcha! Welp, I'll start workin' on a few concepts for later, then. Thanks for giving us time.

I'm keeping Sephtis, so Necromancer! I have mentally revised his original character profile, but there are definitely some changes begging to be made.

@Lumi, are our characters limited to the abilities listed up there, or do we have some room in which to play around?

You definitely have room to play around and make it your own constantly-evolving thing. Hence the lack of a spellbook.

Also, Anberlin will be in the black pool beginning with knives as a mesmer.

I realise I need to post in DTs and SBs more if I don't want my nightmare of being forced to retire coming true, so I guess I'll pop in with the declaration that I intend to complete the questionnaire and/or character profile sometime between now and Friday. If I don't waste my time, it ought to be achievable.
