Ok thanks I remember reading the thing about the four subtypes now but totally forgot sdfjsldk sorry about that, I’ll fix it tomorrow.

MC Name: Kiamsc

Character's Name: Endellion Lostariel

Character's Age: 27 Years

Character's Original Race (N/A if not applicable):

         Dark Elf

Transformed form:

         Phantom

Creator's MC Name:

     N/A  

Creator's RP Name:

        N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Phantoms are deceased who have not fully accepted their death and are determined to still change the world in some way. They can develop many mental illnesses that they may not have had in their life, and I will likely focus on anxiety, ptsd, and bipolar disorder with more manic episodes than depressive. Revenants are obsessed with a particular thing that they failed to do in life. Endellion died before she was able to significantly (in her eyes) help the war effort. For one week I will be a Phantom, after which I will become a Graven.

Phantoms/Revenants are incorporeal and are unaware of their death for now. They are usually confused and a bit unstable mentally and physically. Their wounds are on display, and they likely will have a corpse-like appearance. Due to losing a lot of blood and being heavily wounded, Endellion will appear withered and heavily scarred.

For the most part Revenants will be unable to interact with the world and other people, but when  they do their voices will be significantly fainter than living people. Endellion likely won’t realize this as she will be finding her way back from the Inferi island where she died and simply believe her voice has grown hoarse and her body weakened by having to swim in the ocean after being heavily wounded.

Revenants often cannot remember that they died or how, and will be very confused about recent details. They feel that there is something missing and often seek it out. Endellion may have invented a narrative that she was merely severely wounded and left for dead, but survived. Even if she is told that she died, she will likely deny it or tell herself that she must keep going until the war is won, despite her death. She will be becoming a Graven at the end of the week unless somehow put to peace.

Phantoms have several subtypes, but Graven are more physical in order to accomplish the quest they are obsessed with. In Endellion’s case this is to finish the war with the Inferi and continue protecting innocents as long as she is needed. Ghosts are uncomfortable with sunlight, and can be severely harmed by gold/aurum. Void magic can also harm them. They then may slowly remanifest or pass on for good.

In desperate times, Graven can use their ectoplasm to form a tool, which will likely be a sword for Endellion.

They do not need to eat or sleep like mortals, but experience some pain and are affected by major injuries such as limb loss.

Poltergeists are very angry at their passing and completely deny their death in some cases. They will often haunt a specific person or place and violently attack people who are not even threats. Endellion likely will not reach this state unless she is severely traumatized even further, as she does want to protect innocents and her comrades. It is possible, but unlikely.

Specters are mostly peaceful and have viewed their passing more positively than the other types. This would not fit Endellion as she is rather upset by her untimely death. They tend to be helpful and the least confused and upset of spirits. Endellion is not this at peace with her death, and wishes to get revenge as well as fight for the common folk, so this would not fit her.

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

They appear in shades of grey of their normal form, and are slightly transparent, but for the most part look as they did in life. I will be significantly toning down her color scheme to reflect this in her minecraft skin.

((IGN)): Kiamsc

Name: Endellion Lostariel

Rank: Private

”Oh, a fishing contest... How quaint.” Endellion says, looking over the document. She hesitates at the description of sea monsters, but hastily signs as she catches sight of Heath Linnord nearby and doesn’t want to look cowardly.

Basic physical description: Endellion is rather short, as she takes after her parents who were both rather short of stature, but also because she is still pretty young. She stands at 4 feet and 8 inches, and often tries to stand tall and confidently to make up for it. Her hair is dyed bright orange (the natural color is more of a blonde) and cut asymmetrically, with half of it very short and the right side falling down to her shoulder. Her face is painted under her eyes, with what looks like drops of blood or red tears streaming down her cheeks. She wears gaudy brightly colored feather earrings and plenty of jewelry when she can. She has a black silk vest embroidered with elaborate red designs resembling eastern dragons and flames which she wears over a white woolen shirt. Usually she saves these for special occasions and wears a much simpler vest and undershirt or her guard uniform for hard work and casual outings.

Aspirations in Life: Become a Fashion Phenomenon, Become a Tailor, Learn Fire Magic, Stop or at least decrease racism towards elves in Oren and elsewhere, Rise to power in the ISA or Government maybe

Current Jobs: ISA Recruit, Underling of Marlowe, Freelance Tailor

Current home: Helena, Marlowe’s Hideout

Skills: Tailoring, Fencing, Styling Clothing (debatable, self-proclaimed), Multilingual

Personality: Brash and determined to make the world notice her, she often finds herself in trouble as she doesn’t think things through all the way before jumping in to help others or seize an advantage. She is easily annoyed and bored, and is constantly looking for something to do. She enjoys creating and destroying equally, and likes to gather and make her own materials when crafting. Most of her possessions are self-made and she prides herself in her work. She is quick to forget a name but never forgets a face, especially if that person aided her. She is loyal to those that ally with her and would do outrageous things for them. She personally is not very religious or loyal to governments and believes that society needs a little chaos to run properly and be exciting, but does not tolerate senseless violence and cruelty.

Biography/Background: In approximately 1723, a court official from Oyashima visited Oren for diplomatic relations. Along the way, he stopped in a small town and visited a local brothel. From this visit, a child was born, and given one of the few names from Oyashima the Adunian mother knew: Haruka. The child was raised among other bastards in the brothel, who worked behind the scenes in the kitchens, doing housework, gardening, and whatever other tasks there were. Haruka left at the age of 15 to make his way in the world, as many children did at the brothel, and he began an apprenticeship with a trader in a caravan passing through town. He learned the skills of a merchant and traveled the world, and after years of hard work managed to begin working for himself and amassing a fortune. He began specializing in fine fabrics and textiles, specifically silks from Oyashima. He always had some hope to find his father, but never did have confirmation if he’d found the correct man as he had such little information. Through his work, he met a dark elf woman from a rather wealthy family, and fell in love. He began to court Pelingal Lostariel, and she and her family agreed to the pairing for the advantageous connection it would give them. Pelingal was around 250 at the time, and Haruka around 28. After years of trying, in 1757 they finally had a daughter born healthy, and named her Endellion. Haruka did his best to give his daughter a broad education that he had not had as a child, and loved her very much, though he was often busy. Pelingal traveled with her husband and child, but often spent time attending various parties and events, and did not often dedicate time to her daughter. Instead, Endellion found herself often looked after by various tutors and servants. Although she was mostly allowed to have what she wanted, she was not given much attention. The closest things to friends she has were other children of foreign merchants who spoke the same languages, but she never fully connected with them despite her attempts to impress them and show off her skills and looks. She spent a lot of time admiring and pairing ornately patterned and fine fabrics from the east with those of the west and trying to make her own combination of the styles. She mostly enjoyed making the embroidered silks into vests, waistcoats, and jackets or tops and then wearing linen shirts and leather pants and boots for comfort. Her manner of dress was always rather tom-boyish but extravagant due to her desire to balance comfort and practicality with outlandish fashion. She often joined various sports’ teams and games the local children were playing, enjoying the challenge of figuring out the chaos with her few words in the Oyashima dialect. When she was about 8 she witnessed a paper and wood house burning and spreading to the other houses, and her love of fire’s beautiful destructive powers grew. She also often admired the samurai and other soldiers training and enjoyed sparring and pretend fighting.

After years of hard work and showing off barely working, Endellion began acting up and became somewhat of a local menace to try and get her parent’s attention. Pelingal’s health had also been declining in a few years, and she claimed Endellion and constantly moving were simply worsening it. She took her daughter and prized possessions and moved back to her family’s estate. Haruka returned with them and stayed for a time, but left again for work as usual. Pelingal’s health continued to decline, and she remained confined to the house and occasionally managed trips to the garden. Endellion found herself clashing greatly with her mother’s family, as they were rather conservative and traditional. Her family took over much of her tutelage, trying to focus it towards religion, politics, and business specifically. Endellion quickly tired of these lessons, aching to learn something exciting like magic or fencing, or pursue her hobby of tailoring. She decided to run away, and began gathering supplies and planning her route. At 20 she snuck out at night and set out on the road. She travelled on foot, carriage, boat, you name it, through major cities and places she had always wanted to visit, but trying to never stay in one place too long as she feared her family would find her. Eventually, she ended up in Helena, which she had been told was the fashion capital of the world. She had lost most of her things on her way there, and only had the clothes on her back and some basic supplies. She began searching for a job as a tailor, but failed to find work. She made friends with Marlowe, a mysterious masked and costumed woman with bright red hair, who allowed her to stay in her hideout as long as they worked together and she swore not to reveal its location. Getting sick of being nearly homeless and constantly running out of food, Endellion began talking to important looking and well-clothed people, asking if they needed a tailor or knew anyone who did. By chance she mentioned her fencing skills as well, and was introduced to George Galbraith and then to Sir Arceus Of the Imperial State Army. She was interviewed and recruited, and went through some basic training and assisted patrols. She missed participating in battle and was late to the oathing and promotions ceremony held shortly after, however, as she had been learning to craft arrows and making a hat for Lieutenant Colonel Peter. At the ceremony she handed out arrows to her comrades, and even a few emeralds for the war heroes as an apology for not being there.

If you see Endellion on patrol, feel free to say hi and chat. Also, I can try my hand at clothing edits to skins to fit with her skill for tailoring if you want to commission something.

Are there any tailoring businesses held by the Erling Company that happen to be hiring?

Hello, my character Endellion is currently in Helena and looking to either start a business or join an already existing tailoring business as a seamstress specializing in embroidery. She is the daughter of a merchant who dealt mainly in exotic fabrics and took a liking to silk, so she may have heard of your company or at least know who to contact. Would you be interested in maybe coordinating a shop in Helena somewhere? I could help with securing somewhere to set up and give you the majority of the profits, while maintaining the shop there and directing them to you for custom commissions if you wish. Let me know what you think, have a good day.

Ok, I’ve corrected it

MC Name: Kiamsc

Character's Name: Djondjon

Character's Age: 42 years

Character's Original Race (N/A if not applicable):

         N/A

Transformed form:

         Wonk

Creator's MC Name:

         Archipelego

Creator's RP Name:

         Kasfer

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

         Wonks are small frog and toad-like creatures who were more akin to “cavemen” or very basic societies and often overlooked due to their lesser souls. They slowly advanced into more complicated communities and formeded  a language in the more humid climates of Arcas. Some tribes that left their homelands eventually came into contact with orcs and learned from them, further developing their tribal culture and societies.

When Arcas began to become more populated Wonks once more interacted with other cultures and chose to remain secluded and traditionally tribal, while some attempted to move into these civilizations and settlements from the elves, humans, and orcs and became more adapted to this new setting and more social. Most simply attempted to emulate them in nearby wetlands, though seem to allow other races into their settlements. They tend not to be violent.

Wonks mature at 5 years and live up to 120 years and only have eggs once. As they age they must be more meticulous about keeping their skin moist, especially the frog Wonks. They can see and breathe underwater and tend to prefer more moist/humid environments, very similarly to real frogs. They also share the slimy skin and long tongues of frogs (4X that of a human). They tend to be between 4 feet and 5 feet and are (supposedly?) sometimes hunted and eaten by those who view them as little more than animals.

Their blood has special properties depending on climate/temperature. “In warmer, more comfortable climates, Wonk blood will be a bright, cherry red. In colder climates, Wonk blood will quickly become a deep blue. Consumption of Wonk blood, to any non-Wonk, will result in a light high if the blood is red. If the Wonk is cold, however, and the blood is blue, then it will only cause a feeling of being ill and an intense dizziness. ”

Wonks have lesser souls and so cannot learn magic requiring a “soul connection”.

Djondjon is a more frog-like Wonk that has dedicated their life to studying mushrooms. They have decided to join the Druids and try to help them by protecting and maintaining fairy rings and a farm of mushrooms for a food supply and other uses. They have always leaned more to the feminine side and been interested in making friends and helping others. Their outgoing and friendly nature has helped save them in a few situations which may have ended poorly for other wonks. Right now, Djondjon is about 42 years old and tends to remain in the druid grove or nearby tending to the fairy rings and in their burrow which is full of many water pools and kept rather warm and humid for the sake of their skin and the fungi growing there. They stand at around 4’8 and have yellow-green skin mottled with a more mustard brown color, giving them good camouflage amongst foliage which helps as they are not competent in combat. Their specialties are in caring for fungi and their hosts, and they hope to learn about preparing various potions, poisons, drugs, and foods with fungi.
