May I just take this time to express my interest, as well as kudos to you for thinking of such an elaborate, detailed, and immersive piece of work? Honestly, it's got a Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire feel to it, and I absolutely [i]love[/i] it. Just one question though: must our character have magical powers? 

Edit: Also, under Abilities, Deep Magic is mentioned. But what if our character has not undergone hardship severe enough to earn augmentation? Should we leave this section empty, or fill it in still, in the case our character later acquires Deep Magic? Thanks!
