i know this is a joke post but i actually think one of the reasons there aren't a lot of peasant characters is because in a lot of places being involved and active in the community will get you nicely promoted, so a lot of people who start out as average joes but hang around and participate a lot get offered stuff like leadership opportunities and upward social movement, leading to them not being average joe peasants anymore. or at the very least, this is what i've seen happen to a lot of characters where i play, as well as basically what happened to myself

^ This actually is pretty factual, though maybe its not the best comparison. I still remember when we made a mundane average joe farmer, into a dope undead Darkstalker Knight. @flexMate

3/3 - Lesgo

We just Tawkin 2/3

"Look at that, they have just found us." 

The Gravelord sat upon the ledge of that cavernous ravine, his empty sockets, staring down at the rifts below. It had been far too long since fresh blood had graced his ivory digits. The sign of a commander, stuck within his castle for far to long. After a moment, his palm would loft upwards, gilded smog starting to trace around his digits. That maw, spewing with abyssal smog, as he spoke that command to his general. 

"Sted al'numenro. A'gulhj narn vorrul"

Ready the dead. We prepare for War

Greetings in Gold

Within the wilds of the realm, near heartlands and haunted human lands, a shrine of bone and ruined stone rested. Acting as a place of communion for the lost, and curious. Rumors on the wind, from ghosts to ghouls, whispered an offer to the curious and crude. A hymn, acting as a gilded offer, for those who wished to refine their very crafts and skills. 

Wanderers far and wide all seek something

Some desire riches, more than they will use in their single lifetime

Some seek power, yet lack a vessel worthy of claiming such

While others seek knowledge, that which even the wise warn against. 

So, why not claim it all? Strike a deal, make a bargain, trade with the greatest traders of them all

After all, coin is just as valuable as a corpse.

Gravelord Kryndomere

Was once a mere Necromancer Merchant, The Delmar, now turned into Herald of Umbrage and Logical Lich. Works for big old scary Mordring, Dragaar Lich. 

Passing of a Poet

The world was spinning, his head felt as though it was pounding, the tightness in his lungs was growing. What was this feeling, that sharp claustrophobic emotion, that tugged at his chest. 

It took him mere moments to realize, that lack of air, that stinging pain, and that wet metallic taste in his mouth. They were the signs, the tell-tale understanding of one's own death. 

“You have established yourself upon the Ladder, now pray, pray to the Goat.”

“I. . ..pray to. . .none. . .but the Serpent”

“Than be devoured, be the consumed, for the Goat” 

“Right. . .makes. . .right”

He was only an acolyte, but he even knew that none but perhaps the serpent would save his soul. Perhaps that final offering, of death of the hellish dog, had served as a show of worth. Then again, all he had been in life was but a simple poet. 

A Poet, promised Princedom

A candle, snuffed before it could grow. 

Arise Bubba, its time to cause some chaos

For dark mages/villains, there are numerous other reasons to commit villainy than to do it for some theological/philosophical reason that you’ve brainwashed your character into believing. Obviously it’s fine to roleplay theology and philosophy, I just mean to say it’s gotten real boring when literally EVERY character does it. Every character uses it as an excuse to drive their actions. PLEASE LET US FIND SOMETHING NEW. Emotions, history, personality, money, illness, etc.

This is so real though

This is why I prefer my niche of being an evil capitalist undead merchant. 

welcome to the company

The Gravelord looked down at the abyss below, next to him, that hulking rumbling mass of soul and bone stood resolute. Like an obedient servent, did that melding husk stay, still adjusting to its new form. A skeletal palm lofted towards the newly arisen child of the balance, that thing coming to rumble with with a hunger not yet satiated. A calming shush from that Lich of ivory and ectoplasm. 

"Calm yourself Bilneth, lest you break from your vessel. . .It seems a letter is to be made in kind to those I've broken bread with" 

The Gravelord lofted his skeletal palm upwards, adorned upon it, a ring of cracked Menhir stone. The Lich thought of that struggle, that fight in which they had subdued that which would sunder for the Sixth. 

"So Mote it Be. Rest Child of the Damned, so shall your suffering, save the lost."

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Tawkin

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

Tawkin is a more in depth craft, involving the mutation of the body. Considered occult by most, it involves toying with the body to enhance them. Creating as well new life, in the form of creatures or new vessels' to inhabit. 

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

In Tawkins there are three distinct categories found within it.

Transmutation 

This subsection of alchemy involves three distinct things, each involving the alchemical modification of flesh. 

Moulding

Moulding is the act of using Moulders tincture, and applying it onto flesh to shape and sculpt it like a mason would clay. Creating new disguises, and offering the chance to completely change ones identity.  

Grafting

Grafting involves the particular process of making Bogdan's Clay and making it to mold limbs and replacements for the individual. However, the more intricate the limb and graft, the more taxing it is for the wielder. A Descendent can have a multiple minor grafts, however they may only properly retain two Major Grafts. Anymore causing the individual to feel strained and sickly. Grafting however does not allow for appendages incompatible through the biology of a descendent. Such as wings or gills for example. 

Mutations

Mutations can be separated in two categories, lesser and greater. While Lesser mutations are purely aesthetic and serve to only make one the peak of their race, or to add variety such as changed eyes, hair, skin. Or even the aesthetic addition of changed eyes, colored blood, or scales upon the flesh. Greater Mutations seek to make such proper and tangible to the character, allowing them to achieve feats of strength and dexterity. At the cost of other areas, for example one with Heightened Dexterity would find themselves more fragile.  Lastly Greater mutations are locked purely to Klones and Homunculi. 

Homunculi

What most people consider a-moral, Homunculi are often stitched apart corpses, granted sentience and life. These two can as well be separated in two categories, bestial or descendent. Bestial Homunculi can be aesthetic pets and servants. The creatures holding monkey level intelligence. Meanwhile, the Descendent Homunculi are a creature that players can act as. Soulless alchemical husks, usually ordained with greater prowess in alchemy. 

Klones

The final and most vital bit of information, Kloning allows for one who has mastered Tawkin to switch in and out of carefully prepared bodies. Often stored in large vats and libraries, the art of learning Kloning puts one on a PK clause upon learning. 

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

Bogdans Clay

[!] The Lich looked towards the bowls before him, a bored hum leaving that charred skull as its boney digits clasped for the pile of Lard. Placing it in a bowl before him, he would begin to toss in two counts of poison earth sigils. Then he would toss in five Connection sigils, and mold and mix with a total of four life. The clay began to take on a grayish complexion, yet that was merely the start, as he melded together the plethora of symbols another four Growth would mix with three Endruance. "Very good, and then" The Gravelord would lift up a small vial, a single dash, and thus count of Grace mixed into the Bogodans Clay. "Done"

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

[!] "Now then, today I shall be teaching you the the Moulding Tincture. It helped me avoid much of my many issues, in mortal life." The Skeleton cackled as it patted the alchemical table next to him, a small vial seen in front of him. As that student of blond hair looked to him, he would point to the former magus the ingredients before him. "You need a base of water, three symbols of water, so as to make such fluid! Then you need to mix in-" The Gravelord paused, tossing in five symbols, followed by four, and three. Each set explained as he mixed and melded the symbols together. "Five Grace, Four Reduction, Three Purity and Clarity, and lastly two Balance and Peace. Once you mix thoroughly you will be left with a greyish liquid. Now be wary, for its effects are in the flesh. Not unlike our venerable craft, except such molds the living flesh." 

Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

Welcome to the company

The Recently crowned Lich comes to hear of these deaths, a cackle resonating throughout its ribcage, as tenebrous smog leaks from its form. With understanding of soul, and mastery of bone, the Gravelord knew it was only right to summon forth those soldiers. 

"Our accord has been struck, and a deal is to be completed. You shall rise once more, Radmir"

A young 'thill and poet was out and about tending to business. He had been busy, keeping to himself, and attempting to find inspiration within the muted and dismal realms. Though the news of that lliran of his, though distant, still impacts him all the same. Though he had changed much since his youth, a look of remorse still filled that weary visage of Len'ii Acal'turii

"Rest well, my friend"

A certain Gravelord with a golden tint to his being, thought of the marketing campaigns to come. What other grand tours would Gravelord Kryndomere do next?

The ports of Minas-Mordren came to fill the harmonic hymns of the damned, the long thought anguished spirits, singing in revelry and joy of the ascension of the new Herald. 

"Let us see if this one can learn to respect the ways of Lifeforce, as any other Gravewalker might respect such"

So to, did that Gravelord of Umbrage; Kryndomere. Come to scan over a missive, a solemn nod of approval offered, before the recently risen Lich began its work.

The Gravelord sat upon his throne, the upper castle of those lessers of his, scavenged and attacked. An annoyed huff leaving the now eldritch figure. Gravelord Kryndomere looked about the ports, an annoyed sigh escaping the lord. 

"A Duel or a Tourney? Whatever shall they decide?"
