Irena Sarkozy applauded anything written by her mother, and this was no exception.

"Why must she have changed her name from something so beautiful as Ioanna to Johanna? It's sad!" Irena lamented, her lips curling downwards at the missive. "Did her husband make her whitewash herself?"

[!] Spread throughout the dark recesses of Haense's sewers and slums is a distressing notice written in childlike print with ink that has begun to run like blood.

HARK! A NEW DISEASE IS UPON US.

A NEW DISEASE THAT ROTS BOTH BODY AND MIND.

SPIRIT AND SOUL.

YOU ARE ADVISED TO WEAR A MASK AND DISTANCE YOURSELF. THE INFECTED ARE TOO FAR GONE, PROBABLY.

GODAN CANNOT SAVE YOU. HE TAKES TOO LITTLE INTEREST IN THE AFFAIRS OF DESCENDANT-KIND.

BUT THE GOAT CAN.

FIND SALVATION IN THE GOAT. HE WILL RISE.

Omg I gotta know my capybara

[!] Comprised of cutouts of individual letters and words taken from books is a brief but potent missive. It appears to have much thought put into it, not least because of the meticulous ordering of letters. This would be found throughout alleyways of Oren, darker corners not necessarily traversed by most.

KINSLAYER (noun)

One who slays his or her own kin; a parricide.

WHAT GOD ALLOWS KINSLAYERS TO REIGN?

WHAT GOD ALLOWS THE HEEDLESS SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS?

PARRICIDE SOUNDS LIKE PARASITE. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE?

ENTROPY (noun)

A process of degeneration marked variously by increasing degrees of uncertainty, disorder, fragmentation, chaos, etc.

WHAT GOD ALLOWS THE VOID TO DESTROY A LANDMASS.

WHAT KING ALLOWS THE PROGENITORS OF DECAY TO WALK FREELY HIS STREETS? AGENTS OF CHAOS?

SUCCUMB NOT TO ENTROPY.

GOAT (noun)

A domesticated ruminant mammal having backward curving horns and a beard in the male, raised for its wool, milk, and meat.

HEED THE GOAT. PEASANTS, MAY YOU FIND YOUR POWER.

WOMEN, MAY YOU SHOW YOUR SHOULDERS WITH IMPUNITY.

HAVE HOPE, FOR THE LORDLY GOAT SHALL PREVAIL. MAY HE GUIDE US TO A NEW AGE OF REASON.

Irena marks this down on her calendar, wanting to support her brother! She still weeps in her room at night, wailing for her missing mother and dead father. But this might change.

Leihana is impressed, flipping through the report as she sips a piña colada on the beach. She remains on vacation as her sky-god focuses on other things.

Solheim is equally impressed, though also rather concerned. She rushes to her husband to show him the findings. @Kalehart

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Mysticism

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

One becomes a mystic when they are conjoined with their first spirit, whose attributes eventually manifest in them (you can get creative with it). As one might predict, the tumult of two competing souls within one body causes a host of mental issues like severe paranoia, radical shifts in personality, etc. They can also see ghosts [true sight], and by proxy, can look through things like dead breath and the fog of hindered land.

Base mystics have access to the following spells:

• Saturation/scavenging, in order to harvest souls.
• Deadbreath, which creates a fog to make it very hard for those without true sight to see through.
• Walling (but only if amputated) allows a mystic to create near-impenetrable shield barriers.
• Hexing, in order to make various cursed objects.

Additionally, there are numerous rituals which one can partake in that are generally non-combative, such as seances and making areas or items look spooky and spectral.

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

Upon reaching t3 and conjoining with their second ghost, a mystic specializes in either path of the conjurer or the blade.

The conjurer:

• is closer to the Elysian Wastes and thus more potent in rituals
• sacrifices their physical prowess, barely able to wield weapons for any substantial time but remarkably quick. They become withered and haggard in appearance way more than the Mystic Blades, but are quicker than they appear.
• Can replenish their liturgies via draining phantoms.
• Can imbue their liturgies of ectoplasm INTO a geist (which can heal them) or another mystic.
• Can send their phantom over to possess someone for up to three IRL days!
• Can bind geists to their will (contingent upon OOC consent)

The blade:

• Is left at their race’s base strength without interference. If they were to take up void magics, that would still weaken them.
• is more reactive to contact with gold.
• Can coat their weapon in ectoplasm in order to make contact with specters that would otherwise be unaffected by mundane weaponry.
• Can greatly hinder a person’s movement by fatiguing them through direct contact with ectoplasm. Its severity varies based on tier.
• Can render themselves nigh-invisible at night or with dim lighting, and hard to see even in daylight (comparable to a mirage). This spell (diminish) is even more effective underwater and in hindered land. Lasts 5 emotes per unit of ectoplasm. No defensive nor offensive motions are permitted while in this state — it is entirely for concealing one’s presence or making a quick escape.
• Can briefly expel their phantom in order to deliver or receive a singular attack in their stead. Its range is maximum 10 meters (non-vertically), and it can’t reach those who are mechanically unreachable.

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

Saturation: scavenging

Rosado’s features, already hollow, sunk even deeper into her skull -- the outline of bones aglow visible underneath her now-tattered clothes. Bathed in a sickly, spectral glow, the appearance of near-death and decay rendered her barely recognizable -- or merely a grim echo of what she normally was. Monstrous, inhuman if she was a human in the first place. Noticeably, should one's eyes drift toward her skeletal hands, they'd see layers of oozing ectoplasm colored a desaturated violet.

With no lack of speed, Rosado drew a glimmering lunarite dagger from her belt, catching bits of shine in the pale half-light of the moon. At least this was a beautiful sight, she considered to herself in momentary appreciation of nature's bounty. A moment caught in reverie as a long-lost princess whispered of its grandeur in her mind.

With a smooth gesture of her gauntleted hands, Rosado coated the blade in unhallowed light, dimming its lunar glow into nothingness.

“I’m sorry,” came a singular bantam whisper, as genuine as could be given the circumstances she and her victim found themselves in. “You’ll be okay,” the elf cooed in a voice near-motherly before she aimed to stab the other man through the heart in what would be a killing blow. Yet it would strangely not result in death. Agony and dread mingled with the ever looming sense of damnation creeping closer and closer, along with the unholy wails of the dead in a cacophony of horrors. And then it would fade into nothingness, vanishing at once as Rosado victim fell to the ground.

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

”In this line of work, it’s inevitable that you’ll encounter times where you need to make an escape, or just need to conceal yourself. In broad daylight, great focus can lead to your discovery, but you’re nigh untraceable, at least visually, under the cover of the moon or in the Tomblands. Just as effective when hiding underwater, arguably even more so, but you have to stay completely submerged — and us mortals are not normally able to breathe underwater.” A cheeky wink was sent in the direction of the student, a troubled yet affable enough Rudran youth. “I’ll demonstrate and walk you through it, but you will still be able to see me — such is the gift of true sight.” Immediately after, the warm features of the elf would vanish into a hollow shell, a faint outline of skin atop bones alight in violet.

“I’m going to end up looking like that, won’t I,” grumbled Rosado's student, wincing still at the grotesque metamorphosis of a wood elf into an image of undeath.

“Don’t sass me,” Rosado retorted, a chuckle leaving her after a moment’s delay. “But yes, we all do. This gets impossible to hide after a point, so if you can help it, cast out of the direct line of sight of others.” In the meanwhile, gratuitous amounts of ectoplasm formed atop her tattooed hands, the squelching sound of it blending with the incessant trickle of water in the lair. “Now you’ll bring forth your ectoplasm, and allow yourself to be enshrouded in it. This allows you to become one with the specters we guide,” continued the elf as the ectoplasm swirled around her repeatedly, starting from her feet and moving up with rapidity. Throughout it, Rosado stayed statue-still and patient, her glowing eyes momentarily closing.

In the time it would take for her student to summon the sufficient amount of ectoplasm, the sound of her breaths and heartbeat having faded into nothingness. “You can see me, but no one else can. You can’t attack or even defend yourself. It’s vulnerable if you are already caught, but if you’ve not been discovered, you’ll be in a far better position.”

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

I will discern what precisely went wrong and figure out how to explain it more concisely, if the mistake was made in good faith. I’m forgiving enough if it’s an accident, especially an understandable one.

If the powergaming was deliberate and malicious, I will not give a second chance. I’ll ask the ST to intervene and drop their application.

         was denied for having been posted too early due to an amendment. it is hidden!

“I will never return to you stupid aspectists! Give me a secular elven society or let me live with the humans. They’re barely more palatable than the Druidic fools,” Leihana angrily shouted at the missive.

I'll share a few skin changes!

Left: One of my first skins ever on the server, from way back in 2016 or 2015.  Made the head myself, used a random skin from PMC.  I think it was from A Kindled Heart on PMC, their skinning style inspired me a lot when I first got into skinning.

Right: From 2019 or something, nearing my end to this character.  Got a lot better at my own skins, redid this character's skin entirely after a long break from the server.
 

 

Left: idfk what this is lol I started playing a Kaedrin princess, so I used a random dress I made an did a funny kid head

Right: Princess turned into a buff lady who slays monsters, weak to arrows (died with three arrows in her chest and became the saint of archery for it) 

Left: My Haense princess, from a set of identical triplets.  Her sisters wore red and blue, and she wore yellow.
Right: She was pretty hateful and racist to Imperials and wanted for her kingdom to develop a culture visually and entirely different from the Orenian Empire, was the first woman to start wearing traditional Russian dresses 

 

Left: Daughter to a duke and duchess of Oren, strict upbringing in etiquette and teaching in the arts.  Fell foolishly in love with a nobleman who left her for a more prestigious marriage in the Imperial family.  Arranged a marriage with a man she didn't love, questioned her position in life.  Had a crisis and auctioned away all her paintings, used the money to run away

Right: Wayward life hardened her more, struggled in living on her own in a city being attacked by rat people and undead.  Fell in love with a dark stranger, ended up becoming corrupted and driven mad with vampirism.  Lost her mind to her hunger for blood and is likely dead in an alleyway

 

That's it for finished characters, don't think I'll show my current one

 

aw I missed Margaux, she was cool
