Since Alessia will most likely be directing the Kalesian siege engines (when they arrive) I might do a short lore segment detailing that part of the army and figure out some numbers for how many we will have at Amaryth (arriving with the rearguard, since we're trying to take the city intact).


Awesome! Looking forward to it ^_^

1. Yes2. I have no idea.3. The ones at Fort Madaris? They don't even know the capital is under attack, which is very unfortunate for them. By the time they find out, the capital will have fallen and they will either whole up there or make for Riarson if it's possible. 4. I don't know, but the majority of their forces are at Bolarnir in the West and in small river outposts south of there.


Right... Gee I forgot all about Oragos when thinking about the Othean army :'D

That's not a problem is it? I can change it up but I don't think people will jump at throats just because there are multiple masks.

That's fine by me. Reading the OOC guys, so sorry if anybody else asked me a question I haven't seen yet.

@Archon, if nobody has any problems with is you're accepted. It may be similar to Shin's mask, but masks and invisibility aren't exactly a brand new concept so I'll let it pass.

The exact size of the imperial army active in Othea currently is fairly large, but not extreme. We'd guess between 10,000 and 50,000 at least.

Evoker count on the imperial side isn't all that large. even going with say, 0.1% of the population capable of bonding to relics (which is probably a generous number), the count in the empire would probably be maybe a few thousand. And not all of those will have bonded, or have abilities of any reasonable use to the imperial army. We'd guess that there are less than 50 evokers in the invasion force, with most of them having only limited ability or usefulness towards combat. Most hardly have any ability at all.
Currently, ten evokers powers have been determined what are in the Empire. The numbers previously here are what we'd imagine would make sense for the entire army, not what we're going to start out having. Around ten evokers is sufficient for this stage. They're rare, after all.

We don't want to work out the size of the Othean forces, but we also imagine that they'll have fewer evokers, considering how the Idris view them. Or at least, even if they have some, they're not fully integrated into the Othean army and thus can't be used quite as effectively.

On that mask: How quickly can he(?) move? And how will he compare to our character? Considering that she sees better in shadow than in light, we'd imagine her power might possibly even have been crafted especially to counter such as the one you've got on yours. She'll still not yet have any idea about what to do if she sees yours, though.

Have a hyperspecialized backlane mathematician fighter.
Name: Nanami Hidaka

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Relic: False Prophet

Skills: Overclock, Thought Division

Equipment: Bag of small stone tablets, inscribing knife.

Appearance:

History: Raised under the precepts of the Hidaka, though while she took in the information and understanding, the drive and passion to understand was never there.

In other words, there was a "hole" in Nanami's self, a false mode of being that had not uncovered what it was.

Tutelage continued for some time in a customary fashion, viewed by Nanami as simply another mundane facet of life. She was gifted in terms of mental capacity with regards to her abilities, but viewed it as trite. Praised as a genius, condemned as useless. The choice of which capability to practice on was every bit as important as the choice of how to prepare eggs for breakfast.

When other Relic users began to act, the family decided it was time to make use of the Relic that had been discovered by them some time prior and unsealed it, in the hopes that among them, one of them would be chosen by the Relic to act as its user. The expectation was that the representative of the clan, a man who had mastered the numerical arts and learned how to peer past the veil to see the truth of the world itself, would be chosen by the Relic and sent off to keep balance.

Instead though, the failure known as Nanami was chosen, and so was sent on her way.

Personality: Relics can be seen as bearing the ability to "bring about impossibilities," the power to rewrite the rules of reality as the user sees fit and challenge the rules of God itself. The power to destroy. The power to create. The power to surpass. An exalted gift with capacity and consequence beyond mortal reasoning.

In that respect, Nanami is unequivocally the "worst" wielder of a relic.

This is because she is utterly apathetic towards everything one is meant to be.

Without a doubt, she is the "most" human and "least" human, one who sees their existence solely as a more efficient means of calculation, nothing more than a quicker way of doing things than going to the effort of running calculations herself.

Then again, considering her skillset, this may be understandable.

Outside of the concerns of the relics, Nanami is quite simple to understand. Promiscuous, risque, teasing, these aspects describe her in day to day interaction perfectly. The sort of individual who will never be able to hold down a decent job because her very existence is sexual harassment itself.

In that sense, one has to wonder why her, as a failure of a relic-user and human alike, was chosen by the False Prophet. Accident and chance, surely.

Motivation: "Let's make something fun happen."

If you have cigarettes and calculators you're doing a good job.

We'll throw ya some critique.

One, this world is medieval fantasy. Where does non-medieval technology into that?

Also, relics pick people, not people pick relics.

One more thing: Those mountains are deep within imperial territory. Anyone residing there would not be left to their own devices. If they're as skilled at mathematics as you profess, they would have been used by the Kalesian empire.

Fair enough on all points. I need to head off for a while relatively soon, but I'll see if I can get those edits in prior~
Edited~, though I'm not 100% on if the new location works or not, so let me know~

Thankfully those changes were largely semantic and easy to implement, seeing as no change to the core needed to be made

Calculator I suppose you used to get the old ones with beads, but they wouldn't have batteries. No idea about cigarettes.

In other news, North Eastern mountains are a bad idea. The Vocator sanctuary is there and if you tried to live near them with relics you wouldn't last long.

Due to interest: Is there anywhere on the map that could be classed as desert? I am toying with the idea of building an area based upon Egypt.

One other reason not to live there with such names as you've picked: That region has a completely different cultural background. Names are Slovak.

By the way, you do realize that people in medieval times had clothes that actually covered their bodies, right? generally based around roughly spun clothes for most with some leather/hide as well, with some finer cloth for nobles...

And that in humans, hair under normal circumstances in humans (due to genetic constraints) does not grow beyond 100cm in length. There are occurrences where its been longer, but that requires active interference and extremely special care. Not something anyone would have much of any knowledge of in medieval times. Should a genetic mishap occur and hair grow far beyond that, it would still be cut if it grew longer than the person is tall. You do not want to trip over your own hair, as the person in the picture you used is guaranteed to do.

One more thing: we'd recommend tying your character into lore established by others.
