  • Enchant School.
• • Animal Masters: You can communicate with wild animals in your presence, but they cannot have plot-relevant information or information that would otherwise be metagaming or character-revealing. You can summon a plant and bark-matter mount from the forest anywhere, or call upon a Regalian deer to stride to you as a mount. Finally, you can turn wild beasts into temporary familiars. This may not work on Event Animals.
  • Forest Masters: You can (within reason), change how you are perceived, or how others perceive the forest around you while out of Combat. This can include producing animal sounds that imply the presence of predators, disappearing in the canopy as you jump from tree to tree, and generally making the forest a hostile place to be for unwelcome guests. Whatever is done, cannot confer combat benefit or pre-combat positioning.
  • Wood Singer: You can use song, music, or hand gestures to reshape wood and other plant-like materials in any shape you like, for example, jewelry or weapons. Other good applications for this are as furniture or decorations inside houses, or to address in-the-moment needs while in the forest, for example by creating wooden bowls, or chairs to sit on that sprout from the roots in the soil.
  • Seed Singer: You are deeply in tune with nature's growth and diversity. You can control the growing speed of plants and flowers around you, and even cross-breed plants at will to create unique new plants, and even reshape existing plants with new foliage, color, shape, and so forth. You can grow food nearly anywhere, so long as there is a little bit of soil, water, and sunlight present to stave off hunger.
  • Beast Becoming: You can use a ritual/consume/sacrifice any part of an animal to adopt aspects of it, for example consuming the flesh of a jungle-cat and taking on their hind legs and tail, or sacrificing the pelt of a bear and transforming your arms into bear-claw hands. These changes are temporary (however long you want them to be), can change any body part but never the head, and cannot grant other mechanical uses such as flight.
• (The Penitent)
  
  • Vigilante Beast: You are Regalia's most lovable vigilante, always seeking to deal out your sense of justice. You are immune to being arrested for Low Law violations, so long as what you have done isn't annoying or cringe-inducing for the Knights to deal with. Benign crime receives a slap on the wrist.
  • Demon Deterrence: You have extra protections against Demons. You count as Faithful of Evolism for the purposes of Faith Point Buy (used by Demons). You are also able to apply a Demon Banishment Ritual onto a building, pushing any Demon inside out, and preventing any Player Demon from entering it until you leave the building. Additionally, Demon Dukes cannot see you while you wear a cloak unless you speak its name, speak to it, or reveal yourself.
  • test: test
  • Blood Oath: Even if not a Bloodcast, you can summon an Accountability Forum against a noble, government official, or leader of some kind, which is a kangaroo court or open forum to accuse a person of tyranny, corruption, or incompetence. The accused need not show, but if they do not, this will be seen as disgraceful and humiliating.
• (Highborn Goldmask)
  Highborn Goldmask: This Artifact allows the wielder to subtly change the memories of those around them for the past hour or so, that includes any actions taken, or statements made by them. They cannot remove the memory completely but can alter the memory to make the memory imply they said or did different things. This Mechanic does not work on those who have Mechanics that protect from memory alteration but does work on those who have Mechanics that prevent mind-altering.

Plot Hooks & Character Concept

Plot Hooks. Character Concept.

• • Elamöna is an Inulvaan, a class of warrior-priests unique to the Estelley faith and in service to Artarel, Goddess of Justice. She tries to follow in her patron god's image as an adept mage and swordsman, all the while being mindful of her position as an arbiter. This makes Elamöna judgemental and distant from most characters, and impartiality even towards of her own faith and ilk is to be expected.
  • Elamöna is apart of the Watchway Society, although her part within the society entails heavy vigilantism. She naturally finds enmities with the heedless, the unnecessarily cruel, and uncaring, and would act quickly to dispossess them of any standing, and 'take them down a peg'.
  • Elamöna is noted to be obsessively protective of Estellians—in particular she enjoys company with fellow Freefolk. She is an avid follower of Gilan and Mana, however being more predisposed to the former's teachings.
  • Elamöna is a skilled orater and storyteller, of which many of her didactic stories she's collected comes from her travels through Westwynd, serving as a facilitator in introducing other Characters to the Estelley faith.
  • Elamöna can typically be found in the Floral Court district located north of the city, home to a majority of Regalia's Estellians and elves alike. She can also be found in Neylaria, a Freefolk settlement further north of Floral Court encroaching the woodlands.
• • Elamöna is a Mana-turned-Artarel Estelley faithful, often finding herself at odds between the choice of mercy & ruthless judgement—she personally believes that she can make it work. In reality she most often contends with fears and self-inflicted paranoia, however polite and calm of a facade she puts on, that gets the best of her and her judgement.

INVENTORY INFORMATION

Prayer beads... A silvery charm...

• Prayer beads forged of mottled glass and scored with lotus patterns. It is blue with silver lining.
  
  "These are metred prayer beads of the ascetic priests of old Hyä-Ereya, in the times before it became a jungle, when Suel's men lived there together with the Fourteenth Army and the Fin'ullen encampments on the plain. Complete a verse and look into each eye. You will find that if you do not break the stare, no matter how long the prayer is, it will always end exactly as you are done with the last bead."
• A silvery charm hung on a glass-thin thread. This has been handed to Wisteria Nomëssa.
  
  "A silver flame lit in her grasp as Elamöna felt their afflictions slowly stripped from them, then- it did not feel terrible, as a matter of fact .. it felt more like taking a deep breath for the first time in so many years, like looking into their own heart only to realise that it had been frozen over for so long. The Arken brought her hand away and looked at the flickering fire, blowing it out with a rough exhale, and then producing a silvery charm hung on glass-thin thread. She hung it around the Warden's shoulders, 'knighting' them in a perverse, Allorn sense of the thought, and drew a glimmering sigil in the air over either shoulder. Another sort of power fluttered through them, now."

RITUAL & SPELL BOOK

Menya's Cruelest Thorn. Elindëa's Green Purge. Vaelion's Wrathful Root. Mylëa's Blind Path.

• Name: Menya of the Cruelest Thorn.
  Cost: Burdened (Self-Inflicted, Blood Sapper).
  School(s): Evergrowth.
  
  "Nature's strength is rarely given freely—it demands an offering. Menya's Cruelest Thorn requires the Mage to host a spiked acacia branch upon their flesh, allowing their lifeblood to nurture its rapid growth into a weapon of untamed beauty. The thorned blade, though crude in appearance, is unyielding and strikes with the weight of the forest's wrath. This spell is favoured where a Mage's vitality is wagered against their foe's, and its functions are flexible when more blood is fed into the thorn."​
• Name: Elindëa of the Green Purge.
  Cost: Reagent (A vial of linseed oil and powdered Snake-Fern).
  School(s): Evergrowth & Entropy.
  
  "Elindëa's Green Purge taps into the restorative powers of nature, invoking a herb's properties to cleanse their body or the body of an ally. Smearing the salve close to their nose, the Mage draws out harmful toxins, curses, or debilitating effects, leaving nothing but a sense of vitality in their wake. The natural world offers its strength, allowing the Mage to cast aside poison, disease, or the lingering ailments in a battle. This spell is a balm for the wounded and a cleansing force in times of need."​
• Name: Vaelion of the Wrathful Root.
  Cost: Burdened (Strength Sapper).
  School(s): Evergrowth.
  
  "Vaelion's Wrathful Root taps into the raw, unbridled energy of nature's fury. With a surge of force, the Mage rips the afflictions from their body, shaking off poisons, curses, and debilitating conditions as if they were mere weeds. However, the spell's violent nature exacts a toll—the Mage's strength falters temporarily, temporarily leaving them vulnerable as their power wanes. To borrow a reflection of nature's strength, however raw and untamed, comes with a price."​
• Name: Mylëa of the Blind Path.
  Cost: Burdened (Sight Sapper).
  Ritual(s): -
  
  "Mylëa's Blind Path draws inspiration from the resilience of life in the darkest corners of nature, where even seeds germinate without the need for light. As the Ritualist succumbs to blindness, their remaining senses flourish, growing sharp and vivid like roots breaking through soil in search of sustenance. Every movement becomes more instinctual, every strike more precise, as the Ritualist taps into the raw awareness of their environment. While their newfound strength is undeniable, it is a double-edged blade: the deeper the Ritualist's senses stretch, the harder it becomes to maintain focus on distant foes, as if the very act of blooming in the darkness comes at the cost of losing touch with the wider world."​

RELATIONSHIPS
It is deliberately ambiguous how Elamöna feels about these characters. The rating(s) assigned are indicative of how strongly she feels of them; this can either be positive or negative connotations depending on the context given.

Spoiler

★★★ - Artarel
As your hand, as your blade.
"In excellence was I cast; whether in excellence in warfare or excellence at peace, and excellence I shall achieve, by every skill I posses."

★★★ - Wisteria Nomëssa
She roars the lion's roar.
"My starlight: spirited of nature, feisty, though her thoughts often stray, yet in curious pursuits does she fix her mind. These eyes perceive a truth distinct; by others, she is deemed amiable, and endowed with keen intellect. Nonetheless, she is beloved by most."

★★★ - Vanectus Nomëssa
Though ages trod, our dance endures.
"Few indeed are those who have traversed the path I have trod, be they comrade, kin, or mere acquaintance, purveyors of woe, or abhorrent slayers. This measure we have paced for ages. I wish to continue dancing with you."

★★★ - Aeda'lyn Kee'lyth
Sanctuary found, merit questioned.
"Shoulders I can rest my head upon. Hers is a refuge; a boon beyond all measure that upon which I, in my own self-seeking, lay my burdens with. Though I am of no particular merit, as she extends such solace to others, yet to me, it remains a singular and cherished respite."

★★★ - Talven
Mirth shared, purpose bound.
"Your mirth, I find... questionable. Yet in your presence, it is the lightness of spirit that prevails, a necessary respite from the burdens we bear however it manifests in crude jokes. We share a common purpose, a charge to which we are both sworn."

★★★ - Jhavartal
Fealty pledged, spirit bound.
"Naught surpasses the devotion I pledge to you and the Vanyastra in recent times. This fealty is a treasure beyond compare. It is now the very essence of my being, and a vow I shall uphold. For in this allegiance, my heart finds its purpose, and my spirit its home you have offered a guest to."

★★☆ - Aakhya
A trusted hand whose presence is esteemed.
"You are numbered amongst the most diligent of his company, thus it is not unexpected and welcome to find your presence in any locale I may be. Yet perhaps I have not fully acclimated to a mercenary's existence, clinging still to my station, for you consort with those I deem despicable."

★★☆ - Vellai
These eyes discern beneath disdain's veil, a tender soul resides.
"Your words bear the timbre of dead wood, your thoughts, the residue of cinders, and your pronouncements, the cadence of worldly disdain. Yet, you still care even if you are unwilling to admit it. Even the finest dust finds its resting place."

★☆☆ - Akash
I am an acquaintance wanting, as I pledge redress.
"Your presence in the Vanyastra notwithstanding, I know you little, alas. Perchance, my own want of engagement has left you unknown. I must endeavour to rectify this."

★☆☆ - Shakti
My presumptions cloud my judgement for now.
"Amicable, indeed. Though she appears to veil her sorrow behind those smiles and jests. Or perchance, I overestimate my station in discerning such matters."

★★☆ - Orinteus
I observe your hand upon my daughter, and woe betide you should it cause her harm.
"You are tolerable. Perchance your jesting is excessive, yet it is for this very reason the Vanyastra's members seek your presence. You do hold my daughter's hand. I am watching you."

★★☆ - Hickory
Naïveté bleeds, and denial runs deep within.
"You are, at times, possessed of an unyielding naïveté, and your self-sacrificing nature inflicts upon yourself a wound deeper than you are willing to acknowledge. Perhaps we are not so dissimilar, you and I, yet I, at least, comprehend the limits of my own forbearance."

★★☆ - Xera
I sowed a wound, I offer deeds to mend the scar.
"I have wronged you, once, no, perchance more than I presently acknowledge. I loathe apologies, for I seek to offer redress through deeds and solemn vow, now."

★☆☆ - Iris
Fellowship forged in peril, does it endure in peace?
"I ponder whether our camaraderie was forged solely in the crucible of our most perilous trials, and if, now that those times have passed, our bond remains steadfast."

★☆☆ - Subekti
Paired arrival, discourse lost to bygone ravines.
"You and Iris arrived as a unified presence, yet it seems we have not found occasion for true discourse, save for those bygone days spent within the ravine's embrace."

★★☆ - Dailang
Our bartered bonds subsist in a gilded cage of circumstance.
"I perceive our fellowship to have assumed a transactional nature of late, though I comprehend the constraints imposed by circumstance. While I express regret concerning this current state, I find it acceptable."

★☆☆ - Argo
You plant seeds of faith in barren soil, while I seek the forge to shape a stronger fate.
"I hold the hope that our former discord has been resolved, and that I have made plain the limits of my actions. Yet, I believe you do place undue faith in the inherent goodness of individuals, and that mere aspiration for the best is insufficient."

★★☆ - Eydís
Contrasts bound, nectar shared.
"A bearish woman of curious disposition, a veritable paradox; she exhibits both a boisterous demeanor and a shy nature at oddsome times. Yet, we do find common ground in our shared predilection for honey's sweet nectar."

★★☆ - Rahzarr
Muse or prize, fate intervenes.
"Whether I serve as his muse, or a mere prize to be claimed in his temporary fascination, remains to be questioned. Yet, my bargain and promise to him remains in unsettled perpetuity. Circumstances conspire to thwart our accord, if any."

★★★ - Erwin Braunchweiger
Scorn deserved, fealty mirrored.
"I find it impossible to perceive you as aught but the expletives the city does bestow you—vermin, deceiver. Rat, liar. Whether you seek pity, I do not know, but you are deserving of contempt. Scorn from all save your loyal men, a sentiment with which I can only relate to you with."

★☆☆ - Hexarra
I see you little, but it shines bright.
"You are but a passerby in mountains and rivers, revealed to me by my starlight's gleam. Our paths seldom converge, for yours is the way of a charmful enchantress, and mine is that of a path of tempered steel."

★★☆ - Sahuvi
While worth, a hidden gem, remains unpolished by lesser hands.
"I recoil from the memory of our steel's discord, yet I find solace when our banners fly side by side, though our drums beat to divergent rhythms. It is a lamentable truth that those who lack the strength of your arm do not hold your worth in greater esteem."

★☆☆ - Dammokh
The fence's shadow fades.
"You are a craven. I possess few words for you, precisely because you are a contented craven, and that is acceptable. No longer do you drain emotional investment by straddling the divide between factions."

★★☆ - Carmelita
The sheltering hand breeds hidden thorns, thus trust withers in its shade.
"You are amongst the more insidious, for your care compels you to shield your charges from their own flaws, thereby inflicting greater harm. Genuine you may be, yet paradoxically, I place no trust in you.

★★★ - Ishïka
A soul's self-made prison. I refuse to see the sunlight's hues others paint you.
"Many would extol your virtues, deeming you fair and warm. I perceive naught but the contrary. You are abhorrent, and your own soul echoes this abhorrence. You insist upon isolation; therefore, maintain the distance."

★★★ - Alessë
The stars have not set in my skies yet.
"Few would venture to try the paths of love with one such as I, but you cast your lot with mine. Thank you for the gift of your trust. I pray, please bear patience with my pace; this all remains new to me."

@Caelamus 你好。我要你的review.
changed state commander to disguise skill because i want to do funny reveals.

 

[Caelamus]

Approveded.

 

[bahmboozled]

@Caelamus updated the number of yanar specials (20) and dropped the silvenism. I realised the forced Cahal mentality wasn't a thing when the character, even before being afflicted, was already a Cahal by 'heart'. Plus, they can be a loyal servant of Justice's without being a Silven.
