Did the same as Melo, changed Kanza's pic to be more inline with the art style of everyone else.
Edit: And appearance changed slightly.

Thran is exceptionally handsome by human standards. He stands at about six feet, two inches and is fully erect at all times because posture is important with someone of his stature. His lithe build fills him out nicely. He has no tattoos, and no piercings. Several scars can be seen throughout his body, small and out of mind but from the many experiences in his life. One large ghastly looking scar etched into his left arm is a constant reminder of his banishment. His face remains blemish and scar free to date. His clothing style can't be fully expressed right now, he just wears what will keep him warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
The mark of the curse rests above his left bicep. The mark itself is of a small star that is slightly darker then his skin color. When he activates his abilities for the first time, the star turns blue. As he uses his abilities, the star erupts like a solar flare, growing sporadically across his skin.

Thran is a sympathetic soul, cast into a cruel world of harsh realities. His own experiences have created an individual who would care for those he knows little about simply because it is the right thing to do. He cares little for violence as such, but is no stranger to it, and usually takes a refined approach to confronting an issue. He enjoys talking to people all the same, as it brings him some sanity from his lonely lifestyle. He is full of compassion and doesn't like to start arguments with people, but will hold his ground on subjects he deems necessary to uphold. He'll try his best to stop any type of confrontation before it turns ugly with his voice of reason. He rarely takes sides in any case.
He is a solemn figure when he needs to be, but prefers to make jest of bad situations and bring laughter to dark times. He is no stranger to broken things, as he is chief among them. As such, even though he lives as a lone wolf, he is usually starved for human contact but can't seem to reason moving into a tribe again. His mistrust for any type of clan, not individuals, comes from his own banishment and betrayal. Thran cares little for the many aspects of clan life, but he'd be fool to forget that their is safety in numbers. Above all else, Thran care for people and doesn't like to see needless pain and suffering.

Upon the night of Thran's birth, a shooting star crossed the sky with whispers of good omens to come for Clan Durok. His father was third in line for chiefdom at the time of his arrival, and proclaimed his first born son, Thran Dromunson Durok. His mother was a pretty thing called, Ravia, a hunter's daughter. Thran was Fourth in line for chiefdom, Starborn and above all else, healthy much to his parents profound joy. His Tribe was one of the largest in the area, calling the grassy plains their home and everything that was in sight, theirs. One day, if he lived long enough, it would be all his by right.
His early childhood was marked with little activity other then the day task of surviving. Each was counted as a blessing, and just another step in his progression to an adult. His curiosity for the mysteries of the world were unfounded and he learned much through careful teachings from his parents and other tribesmen. As the days turned into months and the months turned into years, his chances of reaching maturity got better until it was simply known as fact that he would remain healthy enough. During his upbringing his mother and father had three more children, with only one lost in infancy. The second born, his first sibling, was a girl named Delani whose wild walnut colored hair portrayed her personality perfectly. The third born was another son, Tilok who was known for his brash attitude and a general troublemaker. The fourth born of his parents was a girl, her name was Lilan but now she rests with the ancestors in the Great Plains up above. With his siblings, they endured much together but became strong because of it.
Upon the day of his seventeenth birthday, he was ushered into adulthood with a celebration, and a great feast along with several others. The ceremony that came after was long and dull, but at the end, Thran was officially considered an adult and allowed the privileges that it entitled. He could now talk at tribe moots, have his own home and belongings and find a wife to continue the Durok line. For a couple of years Thran lived in his families home, until chiefdom was passed onto his father. It was a dark tragedy that befell his family, both his grandfather and uncle perished while out hunting for the White Elk. With a heavy heart, his father took the responsibilities of chiefdom and they moved houses, while Thran then took over the families home- his home.
Three years passed by with little note. Thran watched his brother and sister join adulthood, voiced his opinion on the various goings of the tribe, and was content with doing the daily tasks required of him. Whether hunting with friends, or building a hut for a family. The tribesmen grew to love his calm sensibility and playful muses. He however, was also the subject of great scrutiny for he had not found a wife yet and no heirs had been born to him. His brother in the meantime, already had a small family started with a lovely wife from a distant tribe. He was proud to be an uncle. His sister in the meantime, was married off to a different tribe for relations and he seldom saw her anymore other then the occasion feast.
Then upon his twenty-third summer, another tragedy befell his family- his mother, Ravia fell to sickness. Thran mourned for seven days before being able to go on, his father however, was affected greatly. A sickness took his mind and decadence filled his heart. He took many maidens and defiled them, often sacrificing them in the name of the old gods. The tribesmen knew not what to do, their gods had given Dromun the will to be their chief, who could oppose that? It went against tradition, but Thran knew better. Upon the night of the Sacred Moon, he opposed his father outright, declaring him a vile wicked creature and a man he was no longer. Outraged, his father challenged him to a fight, and Thran agreed.
They fought for several minutes, but Thran never received the oxen build his father had, or his talent with a sword and Thran was beaten to an inch of his life. His father declared Thran banished, and Tilok to be next in line for chiefdom, for unlike his dear brother, he had sons to continue the line. His tribe, turned against him then, and he was left outside of the settlement, to die alone. With great pain, Thran managed to get to his feet and leave his home behind, for good.
He wandered the plains for a time, licking his wounds back to health and trying to survive at the same time. Through sheer perseverance and a little bit of luck, Thran managed to hone himself for the wilds and he has called it home ever since. He travels the land now, avoiding the dangers of nature and man alike but occasionally stopping in other tribal areas if they are friendly.

⍚ IZAR'ALONOWAY, THE EVERSTAR ⥥ GOD OF STARLIGHT, CARETAKER OF THE STARS ⥥ MALE ⥥ HETEROSEXUAL ⍚
There was once an ocean of stars
So plentiful and full of calm light,
But the only thing he had were tears
As the cold dark had come bringing night,
And in his ocean where he walked
The stars began to fade away,
Leaving only the horror of being shocked
To know he would watch everything decay.

Izar took the shape of a star, whose color and shape were ever changing. He dipped into every conceivable color, from the purest of white to the darkest of red. His energy pulsated around him, and he could even control the heat he emitted if he so chose. He never took another form but it was probably well within his power to do so.

Light. Glorious, hallowed light. That was the first thing Izar remembered when he came into being. It surrounded him, bathing his conscious in a multitude of bright colors and warmth, some of which he hadn't seen since. Overcome with emotion and dazzled with beauty like never before, he watched the stars as they dispersed. He felt a great love for the stars but they were fickle creatures, prone to harm and easily angered. So upon his glorious birth, he was also given a lesson upon the new reality he was born into, when a small yellow star collided into one of its brothers. The resulting explosion annihilated the two, sending their furious heat on a collision course with other stars but more importantly, into Izar.
Izar screamed as the fire washed over him, sending his conscious state into a state of pain. It was a new feeling to Izar, one that prompted him into action unknowingly. He began to absorb the energy, the fire of the explosion and slowly the jabbing pain subsided. When the fire was at last gone, Izar was astonished to see that he had become a star himself, but more so then the others. The Everstar had been born, and his purpose was clearly defined. He would not only watch the stars and their beauty, but care for them in a way that kept them safe from themselves, and others.
That was a long time ago, and few now remember that which was the start. Izar wandered his ocean of stars, tending to them like a Shepard would tend a flock of sheep, yet at the time there was no such thing as a Shepard, or sheep. Not all of it was pretty, as he soon became keenly aware that there were others like him, those who possessed thought on which to act upon. They were calling themselves Gods, and each one of them wielded fabulous and exotic powers, that some used for good and others not so much. Many,
if not a vast majority of these Gods, took to a star that was cold and held little color, He watched them work upon it and learned, that it was not in fact a star, but a planet. Izar was told that many joyous creations would be made upon its surface but Izar cared not, for the stars were his domain and they needed his care. Unbeknownst to the others, Izar watched the stars carefully around their planet, as he would have hated to see such work go to waste from a rogue star. He even created the constellations and mimicked them after God's and Goddess he saw working upon the planet.

He even created the constellations and mimicked them after God's and Goddess he saw working upon the planet.
He had thought that with the planet to keep the other God's occupied, they would stop meddling in his domain but he was wrong.(Will come back to this part, I've read some other cs backgrounds and some God's haven't been so kind to the stars.)
Time did not effect Izar as it did others, he felt it as a passing motion that flowed around him. So it came as a great surprise to the Everstar when he was told by a passing lesser deity that the the Dark Gods, some enemies of the Stars, had begun to curse those who were Starkissed. Izar was taken aback by the statement, if two beings could love each other so inextricably like he loved the stars, who had the right to take away their happiness? Who had the right to damn them for all of eternity?
He rushed back to the planet the other gods had tarried over so long ago to find their presence empty, or fleeting. So many he realized, had been taken by the curse, and forced to live mortal lives. He pitied them deeply, such a fate to find love and never to have it, to die over and over was quite depressing. Izar was confident however, that he would avoid such a fate as he was not Starkissed as they had been.
As he began to withdraw from the planet and retreat to the Ocean of his, he stopped. Gathered before him were Dark Gods, many in number and they stared at him with malicious intent. In that moment, Izar had his doubts. The Everstar had never found love, for what greater beauty was there then the stars? Yet there they were.
"What is the meaning of this?" He asked hesitantly.
One of them stepped out from the others and spoke in deep tone, "The Everstar, sat high above his ocean throne. He cared for the stars all alone. Protecting them ever so fiercely. Now his fate will end quite badly. Starkissed or not, foes you have made. Now you shall simply fade."
The Everstar burned brightly as the dark gods bounded towards him. He was never a fighter but he would show them a fight. Across the sky they battled, like streaks of lightning they danced. Izar killed a few, and hurt many more before he was overtaken. As the curse consumed his body, they flung him to the planet. Images flashed in his mind, and before he knew it he saw the end. The stars fading into the dark, as black swallowed everything and he wept.
Somewhere in the land, a baby began to cry.

Three General skills to start and up to two combat abilities. Due to the setting you may also have 1 Survival ability.
- Smooth talker- Thran has always had a knack for being able to talk his way out situations and calm people down. He is very charismatic in that regard.
- Regal- Thran has a natural air of dignity about him. Though he never flaunts it, people are more likely to do as he asks.
- Rational- Thran thinks carefully before acting, never rushing into a situation headfirst. For that would only be foolish.
- Nighstalker- Thran has an unnatural talent for being able to disappear in the night and not leave a trace.
- Lithe Build- He's not the strongest or largest man out there but what he lacks in physical aptitude,
he makes up for by being graceful on his feet and slightly faster then most. - Axeman- He is proficient at wielding an assortment of axes for disposal.

These will unlock as we continue.
Life Force: 0/0 (ignore for now)
The Star's Promise: Weakest Ability
"Look! Look up and see! The stars will show us the way!"
A Dazzling Display: Thran can light up an area of his choosing in any color imaginable. The light can stick to anything and illuminates a medium sized area. Some colors show brighter then others. Fades after a short while.
Guidance: Thran uses the stars on a cloudless night for navigation. He will never get lost as long as he can see them.
Star Vision: Thran can use this ability to see clear as day, on a starry night. Cloud cover inhibits this ability as well.

Star Vision: Thran can use this ability to see clear as day, on a starry night. Cloud cover inhibits this ability as well.
The Caretaker's Burden: Moderate Ability
"Be the change people need, not the kind that they want."
Cosmic Clarity: The Caretaker can calm people and animals down with this ability. Whether it be two men on the verge of blows, or an animal about to attack. Those effected will enter a state of serenity and find their petty squabbles to be completely pointless.
The Star's Touch: With a simple touch, weak wounds are healed and moderate wounds reduced in severity. Non lethal, non-magical diseases and ailments are also permanently cured. Provides a small buff to the immune system for the next twelve hours. This ability cannot cure fatal wounds, maimed limbs or infliction difficult to treat such as magical injuries.
Suppression: Like the days of old, the Caretaker can use this ability to absorb the harmful energies emitted from a god power. The lesser the ability, the easier it is so absorb, while the opposite can be said for higher powers, and can even weaken his own life. When the energy is absorbed, the Caretaker can not use it in any shape or form. It simply vanishes from whence it came.

The Everstar: Strongest Ability
"Ah, did you see that Thran? That Shooting star? Make a wish and perhaps it will come true."
Starlight: The Everstar can wield the stars energies. He can use light to make a weapon. He can then change the color and intensity of the display. The brightness emitted can blind foes but leave him untouched.
Compassion Strike: The Everstar reaches out to all of those within a square mile and awakens an overwhelming sense of compassion for those around them. Effects last for one day, and during this time an individual feels strong emotions of pity, sympathy and concern for all life that they interact with, leaving little room for any other emotion during this time. They are also strongly compelled to help others in need, even with the most mundane tasks.
The Everstar Wish: The Everstar sheds his Mortal Coil for a short time, taking to his domain for but a moment. Day fades to night in an instant as he streaks across the open sky in his former glory. Any who look upon him may make a wish, but only those pure of heart may have it answered. The wish cannot reverse the effects of the curse, or bring back the deceased. Wishes will also be taken word for word and have varying levels of success depending on what is asked for. (Not sure about this one, feels a bit op but it was late when I wrote this and I didn't have any other ideas.)

@Write@Lord Zee I've worked through alot of sheets today with Melo so I hope you will forgive me. I'll be getting to Persephone and Thran tommorrow evening. You are by no means forgotten, I have some stuff I have to set up tonight for some irl stuff and it's currently midnight where I am.
But I promise your characters are the first things I will get to when I get home tommorrow :D
@13org You already know but for the sake of propriety, Nanna's accepted :D
@Aewin That was entirely my bad, The Bellcairn info should be up <3 Three simple illusions is perfect.
@MiddleEarthRoze that makes alot more sense! It can definitely wipe away entire bays and stuff like that. I think the wording just caught me offguard :D
Honestly with that clarification it's fine as is, we might even want to buff if a touch now. Since you're dying to use it (literally! :D) it can be more powerful then a regular tsunami :3 I'm very sorry for the confusion on my part.
Unless you want to switch your ultimate ability for boil and toil, in which case we can do something with that :D
Let me know what you think and then I can probably accept Lorena after this set of changes :D
@McHaggis add Dryden up to the CS tab :D! and yeah, considering the slot you put Displaced in I thought 600 meters would be pretty good :3 And I think Greed is a very appropriate domain to add.
@luckofthedraw are you sure you don't want to buff absolute nothingness to include an effect on other immortals or a stronger effect on the surrounding landscape?
@Dusksong Sorry Dusksong, me and Melo have been doing a bit of rebalancing so there will be a few changes to work through. Of course if you want to move things about to keep certain abilities at their current power levels we can do that :D
@Apokalipse ohmygosh that picture is beyond perfect <3
@Write
@Filthy Mudblood love the new appearance <3
There will be options for previous players to keep some of their key relationships if they still want to explore them.
@ihinka
@Write
Vatten Clan @MiddleEarthRoze What colour shall I set the Vatten Clan to?
Ursidae @McHaggis@Apokalipse I was gonna put Ursidae north of the Roamwyns, does that sound about right or do you imagine them further south (or perhaps out east/west on par with another clan, let me know) I was going to show their migration north which probably goes all the way up past Wolfrahg and Craenak.
But I promise your characters are the first things I will get to when I get home tommorrow :D

Honestly with that clarification it's fine as is, we might even want to buff if a touch now. Since you're dying to use it (literally! :D) it can be more powerful then a regular tsunami :3 I'm very sorry for the confusion on my part.
Unless you want to switch your ultimate ability for boil and toil, in which case we can do something with that :D
Fish are Friends: Since this calls fish rather then summon them you can leave it as is. Though a tiger-shark could potentially be an insta-kill for this slot, so there will probably be rolls involved when using to control the larger beasts.
Call For Help: Same as above, dice will probably determine what the Merfolk do and how many arrive (between 1 and 3, likely, depending on the area)
Cataclysm: You can probably buff this for inland use. Something like:
If inland, Lorena can use this ability by summoning the ocean itself through her connection to it. it dissipates after Lorena's death.
You can reword it better though :D
You could also choose to remain an area underwater/flooded if you like. That would definitely be pretty interesting in future eras, but that's up to you :D

Let me know what you think and then I can probably accept Lorena after this set of changes :D
@McHaggis add Dryden up to the CS tab :D! and yeah, considering the slot you put Displaced in I thought 600 meters would be pretty good :3 And I think Greed is a very appropriate domain to add.
@luckofthedraw are you sure you don't want to buff absolute nothingness to include an effect on other immortals or a stronger effect on the surrounding landscape?
@Dusksong Sorry Dusksong, me and Melo have been doing a bit of rebalancing so there will be a few changes to work through. Of course if you want to move things about to keep certain abilities at their current power levels we can do that :D
Shapeshifting at a first level ability is really potent, that'd be a high-moderate level ability now. You could do something like:
The Morrigan is able to look through the eyes of a raven or wolf to aid her.
For the illusionist:
At the second potency of the weakest ability this is pretty powerful as you can create any type of illusion (compared to Noora's highest potency weakest ability for example, that can create specifically weak illusions of herself)
so you could do something like:
The Morrigan is able to make convincing illusions of small trinkets, coins, anything that can fit in the palm of the hand.
or if you want it still to be an illusion self-based ability:
The Morrigan can appear as a beautiful maiden or old crone to one person in her vicinity. If she uses this ability on another person nearby, the other person snaps out of it. This ability can last up to ten minutes at a time.
The Prophetess:The Morrigan can receive a cryptic hint of a flash into someone's future.

Make Way for the Father: Kenzie shrouds the sight of people in an area around himself with a diameter of ten ft for up to ten minutes. Kenzie himself is unaffected by the darkness.
The Vices of Humanity: From the union of Aether and Gaia came many of humanity’s banes, including “Grief, Deceit, Wrath, Lamentation, Falsehood, Oath, Vengeance, Intemperance, Altercation, Forgetfulness, Sloth, Fear, Pride, Incest, and Combat.” Kenzie can cause another person to be affected by the vice they are most susceptible to. A person can only be susceptible to one vice at a time and up to the duration of forty-five minutes.
The Furies: Aether’s union with Gaia also produced the three furies, and Kenzie’s connection to Aether allows him to call upon the three sisters to do his bidding. However, because he is but a human, Kenzie can only supply enough energy to summon one sister at a time. Kenzie can summon a furie in their incoporeal form for twelve hours or their corporeal form for four hours. The incorporeal form cannot deal damage or be killed. The corporeal form can be destroyed just like all other flesh-and-bone beings, allowing them to be defeated in battle. The Erinyes are crones described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment. They will chase their victims to the ends of the earth if need be.
The Elements: Switch with the 3:1 position and pick one element to manipulate.
Breath of Life: Just letting you know the cost of this will be reduced when we hand out costs :D
Final ability: Just a stipend saying that the effect will decrease over the three eras (so in the third era it won't be as powerful, for example)

@Apokalipse ohmygosh that picture is beyond perfect <3
@Write
Decree: Fæla can order a creature of lesser intelligence, like an animal, to take a simple action that they must complete if physically possible. Technically speaking, if it is something that someone would typically do, it could work on them. Small children may also be susceptible. If the command can no longer be completed or there is substantial risk to the creature/child, the hold on the creature or child is broken. The decree will wear off naturally after a period of time.
A note on the time it lasts: We'll take it as a case by case basis, since there are alot of ways to use the ability :D (e.g. you may order a wolf to howl at a certain time, this would be treated differently from someone being chased by a wolf for a long period of time)
Grand Jury: Fæla can create a permanent telepathic link between a group of up to six people. It works similarly to speaking, one must choose to communicate through this method, but you cannot choose not to hear someone speaking through this method.
Cross Examination: Honestly this ability is more of a moderate ability then a strong ability. Perhaps you'd like to switch this with your second or third moderate ability slots to make one of them more powerful? Or you can buff this ability :D Me and @Melo can help you out with that if you're unsure.
One alternative you could have that Melo suggested is:
Fæla is able to activate this ability, which will summon her two knights to her side. She may ask two questions and be told the absolute truth to each. The knights, if telling the truth will give an in depth answer.
Oh and, unlikely to be important since you mentioned the physics thing but due to magic being around: No granting immortality with the ulti <3 I don't think you would anyway, but, better to have stated it somewhere now XD
Let us know what you think and we'll go from there :D

There will be options for previous players to keep some of their key relationships if they still want to explore them.
Small adjustment
Laughter inducement: remove the part about choking and add something along the lines of "strong pain can snap a person out of the effect"
after you make that change feel free to add her up :D

@ihinka
Can you adjust the wording of this part:
"This image was, in fact, Tlalli's curse mark and with each use of her abilities the colors would become clearer and clearer as if a new tattoo layer is being added in. Each time the pain would be stronger and stronger. Vicious, debilitating, sickening."
To make it clear if the pain is happening to her through her curse mark? And also if the pain is continuous or not or just when the tattoo is adjusting itself.
Can you mention in Huitzilipochtli's formative moments how she ended up becoming a human? What the Dark Gods did to trick her or influence her after she found her Starkissed to trap her in a mortal body.
So happy to see astronomy in a character's skills ;D
I'm interpretting her ruthlessness as a survival skill that helps her push forward in the face of adversity, is that correct?
Can you clarify what this ability does a bit more, I'm having problems imagining the end effect:
Honor Guides Me In a clash between adversaries Huitzilipochtli will stand by the side of the honorable one and will extend her guidance to her charge in the moment of most dire need.
My Honor Is My Shield: With this ability Huitzilipochtli can deflect a single moderate or weak physical attack from one source, the physical attack deflected cannot be fatal or maiming in nature. This cannot be used on the same person for another twenty minutes.
Your Burden Shall Be Mine: Can you specify a little bit more, do you mean when a person makes a selfless act towards another, Huitzilipochtli removes any suffering related to that?
Know The Joy Of Sacrifice Huitzilipochtli: Is this just a joy increase or does it boost people's awareness/senses as well?
Really like The Gift of Sense :D
Healing Gift - you'll probably get a buff to this once all characters are in (so I can better compare the heals that people have in this slot so it's a good balance for the cost) but don't worry about that for now.
My Life For Yours: Is this her life for another person's or is she ressing one person by killing another?

Champion: this needs to be seperated into two. Champion with a social effect is a general skill and archery is a combat skill.
I know you've already defined it, but can you please seperate animal mastery into Hunting and Animal Handling, even if you just put Hunting: See above, soothes beasts during hunting or something. This helps me streamline stuff during the roleplay.
Amazonian: Again this is both peak physical strength and pugilism in one, please pick which.
Touch of Earth: Um. This is just a really powerful version of Faela's Decree ability xD This is currently too strong to have in this slot, more likely a moderate ability (you gain infinite control over any animals. So there needs to be a size limit, limit to the sort of commands you can give, limit to the amount of control ect. If you see decree which is a similar power slot, it is the one command if it is possible to complete without danger.) So anyway, either move it to your moderate slots or we can decrease it's power substantially.
Life's Kiss: Nothing beyond a light wound for a weak ability slot.
Breath of the Wild: Not fire immune or extreme sub-zero temperatures, please keep that in mind :D
Refulgent Creation: Gaia can summon to her side up to three animals that are native to the area she is in. She does this by imbuing her life force into the area she in and the beings are created. These animals are loyal to Gaia and can follow basic commands.
Cain: Remembering the moment she felt betrayal for the first time, Gaia whispers a phrase into the ear of a target. That person will then distrust whosoever was named. A full name is required and while they will deeply distrust that person, what happens afterwards is left completely up to whoever is affected by this ability. They cannot immediately shake off their distrust, however.
Burden of the Daughter: I just want to confirm you can't then swing a burden with infinite strength or use it as a weapon against another? also an ammendment, please add that anything thrown with this strength will immediately drop.
Tears of the Mother: Using this ability Gaia's tears can bring forth entire lake's worth of water. As soon as the tear hits the ground it expands rapidly creating an entire lakebed. Anyone caught within this radius is under immense threat of being dragged beneath the surface by the ensuing rapid filling of the lake and thrown about by the current.
Soul of the Creator: First part might be my favourite ultimate so far <3
Just to confirm: the 200 ft diameter lethality is just the size of the tree roots part, and the forest is alot bigger then that? As a 200ft forest isn't very big for a forest of that majesty :D

Vatten Clan @MiddleEarthRoze What colour shall I set the Vatten Clan to?
Ursidae @McHaggis@Apokalipse I was gonna put Ursidae north of the Roamwyns, does that sound about right or do you imagine them further south (or perhaps out east/west on par with another clan, let me know) I was going to show their migration north which probably goes all the way up past Wolfrahg and Craenak.

As far as Persephone goes, I'm always willing to wait on you guys so don't worry about it.
Okay so let's start with Faela our favourite 'we need to edit that' sheet.
Phew, can't wait to hear about Persephone and hear back from anything I might've messed up. My responses are all in italics!

Totally agree
Grand Jury: Fæla can create a permanent telepathic link between a group of up to six people. It works similarly to speaking, one must choose to communicate through this method, but you cannot choose not to hear someone speaking through this method.
Pasted onto the ability.
Cross Examination: Honestly this ability is more of a moderate ability then a strong ability. Perhaps you'd like to switch this with your second or third moderate ability slots to make one of them more powerful? Or you can buff this ability :D Me and @Melo can help you out with that if you're unsure.
So this and Desposition were swapped out making this my 7 I believe, maybe my 6 actually. Regardless I'll wait on your and @Melo's advice on how or what to buff in Desposition.
Oh and, unlikely to be important since you mentioned the physics thing but due to magic being around: No granting immortality with the ulti <3 I don't think you would anyway, but, better to have stated it somewhere now XD
That won't stop me from making someone think they're immortal! ;D

I've adjusted the wording for her curse mark and added that section in her formative moments about how she ended up cursed.
I'm interpreting her ruthlessness as a survival skill that helps her push forward in the face of adversity, is that correct? Yes, that is precisely correct.
Can you clarify what this ability does a bit more, I'm having problems imagining the end effect:
Honor Guides Me In a clash between adversaries Huitzilipochtli will stand by the side of the honorable one and will extend her guidance to her charge in the moment of most dire need. I was imagining it as a sort of a minor luck buff... Evade a blow, hit the right spot, don't step on poo
My Honor Is My Shield: With this ability Huitzilipochtli can deflect a single moderate or weak physical attack from one source, the physical attack deflected cannot be fatal or maiming in nature. This cannot be used on the same person for another twenty minutes. I thought that other effect might be too OP
Your Burden Shall Be Mine: Can you specify a little bit more, do you mean when a person makes a selfless act towards another, Huitzilipochtli removes any suffering related to that? Yes.
Know The Joy Of Sacrifice Huitzilipochtli: Is this just a joy increase or does it boost people's awareness/senses as well? The purest joy of the sacrifice brings with it a boost of awareness. Let's say one knows they will be sacrificing themselves. They'll lose a limb, their life, etc. The joy in this sacrifice boosts their awareness.
Healing Gift - you'll probably get a buff to this once all characters are in (so I can better compare the heals that people have in this slot so it's a good balance for the cost) but don't worry about that for now. Yes, please, don't confound my brain with numbers
My Life For Yours: Is this her life for another person's or is she ressing one person by killing another? No, no. No killing. One willing person offers their full life for the life of someone who just died or is dying. She can offer hers as well, just not for her starkissed. For another random human. She is simply the one to facilitate the trade and revive the targeted individual. The one doing the sacrifice would be committing suicide in the vain of her domain.

I've adjusted the wording for her curse mark and added that section in her formative moments about how she ended up cursed.
I'm interpreting her ruthlessness as a survival skill that helps her push forward in the face of adversity, is that correct? Yes, that is precisely correct.

Tlalli is not very tall. None of the Atunka are. At 5'5 she is fit and strong after years of combat and hunter training. She has the Atunka olive complexion, complemented by dark straight hair and deep dark brown eyes that are almost black, accentuated by beautiful eyebrows. Her somewhat square jaw line is offset by a straight, narrow nose and full, red lips.
Both her ears are pierced and she has two other piercings only she knows about. As any warrior and hunter of the Atunka clan, she has a number of battle scars on her body. Scars are not important to the Atunka. To them it is almost natural. They would sacrifice their life in an instant for clan and kin, so a measly scar is not worth mentioning.
Tlalli will usually wear her Priestess white robes when she is performing her duties. For all other occasions she dresses with leather pants and tunic.
The High Priestess' entire back is usually tattooed over the years of training little by little. But when Tlalli began her training it was discovered her back already bore an image that resembled a tattoo, but an almost completely faded one. Not knowing what this mysterious mark was, Tlalli's back was left as is, since no one dared disturb this strange image.This image was, in fact, Tlalli's curse mark and with each use of her abilities the colors would become clearer and clearer as if a new tattoo layer is being added in. Each time the pain would be stronger and stronger radiating from her mark to spill over her entire body. If enough time passes between abilities used the pain would simmer down to a dull ache. But the more frequent the use of her abilities, the grater in strength they are, the more continuous and stronger the pain would be. Vicious, debilitating, sickening.

Tlalli is a gentle and caring person. Her natural predisposition towards sympathy and empathy make her the ideal candidate for the heir to the High Priestess. She is most often quiet, subdued and demure. And will get extremely shy around someone she finds attractive. She would get incredibly flustered and tongue-tied. So much so that Totzi will often make sisterly fun of her and encourage her to be more bold and assertive. And Tlalli would pale and color at the same time and state that she isn't capable of that, not for the first step at least.
For in almost anything else she has no problem being direct, assertive and bold. Not when she is performing her Priestess duties. Not when she is out patrolling the woods. Not when she is part of a hunting party. Like all Atunka she is a fierce warrior and a ruthless hunter. Like all Atunka she is a survivor. And like all Atunka, she is prepared to sacrifice all of herself for her clan and her kin. Even if her parents don't want to speak with her. She lavishes all her love on her sister Totzi to compensate and often gives her council and offers solace when the burdens of future chieftainhood weigh heavy on her.
Tlalli is a very good listener and will often understand a person's troubles better than they themselves ever could. But ultimately, even with her sisters' love and devotion, she is a very lonely person. She often feels like a stranger, even surrounded by her clan. She wonders endlessly why was she born this way. She could never produce offspring the way she is. And children were a gift and a clan's greatest treasure. Or was this the reason for her to be born as the second daughter? She had no answer. Just this gnawing emptiness within her and the pain of useless longing.

Tlalli was born the second daughter to the chieftain of the Atunka clan. Some might think 'poor her' and envy her bigger sister, who would ultimately inherit the chieftain position from her parents. But to Tlalli what came with being the second daughter was far, far more exciting and desirable. For to the second daughter of the chieftain couple went the position of Head Priestess.
It was a path that Tlalli knew suited her far better. The High Priestess carried her own weight and the respect within the clan. The Atunka were a deeply spiritual clan. Ever since the in-fighting had stopped and the clan became united, they understood that their survival was of their own doing as much as that of the higher spirits and guardians. And so the High Priestess would convey the voice of the Atunka, their prayers and thanks, to the spirits and guardians, to the gods and goddesses, and in return she would offer the clan with council, solace and support. For no mortal could interpret the will and voice of the gods. All the High Priestess could do was to encourage her people to move forwards through hardships. And convince the people that if the gods weren't willing to help, they had to help themselves.
This, to Tlalli's mind, was way more desirable than occupying herself with politics, diplomacy, and everything her sister was required to learn as the next in line for chieftain. There was of course the other huge plus. As the High Priestess, she would have the liberty to select her own mate. Something, for which she truly did not envy her sister - Totzi.
But why would that be important, one might wonder. Well, it was to Tlalli. For since she was old enough to know her own heart... and body, she knew she wasn't like the other girls of her clan. She wouldn't swoon over the young warrior or hunter trainees. She never even once tried to imagine what it would be to be kissed by one of them. On the contrary, the one time she did imagine it, she was not pleased at all by the imagery. Instead she would catch herself staring her sparing partners after combat training, when the girls would clean up and redress after practice. She never did it openly though. She was never that bold. Unlike Totzi, who had no problem getting boys to do her bidding. Tlalli was shy when it came to matters of the heart.
But she didn't have to worry about that, for she was far too busy with her Priestess training. If the Chieftain was the mind of the clan, the Priestess was its soul. And Tlalli had to learn how to take care of that soul. As the Priestess she was required to learn the ancient writings, to read the skies, to know the forest and all beasts within. She had to learn how to heal the body as well as the mind. But that was not all. She was still required to train at par with all other youngsters in combat. For all Atunka had to be fierce warriors and hunters to be able to survive in the rain forests.
When Tlalli was twenty her parents finally found out about her predilections. They were less than happy, but her sister Totzi had stepped up and defended her. For as it turned out, she'd known all along about Tlalli. She didn't manage to make their parents understand and Tlalli never managed to repair her relationship with them. So she moved out and went to live on her own. She was grateful to Totzi and the two sisters became even closer after that fateful incident. Of course her parents couldn't say anything to her. As the hair to the High Priestess they had no say in who her future mate would be. Tlalli's only hope was that they wouldn't take it out on Totzi in choosing her's.

Her original form has been long since forgotten. The once beautiful, colorful, mesmerizing hummingbird is no more. In her sorrow Huitzilipochtli took on a far more darker looking form to better suit the image thrust upon her and her domain. She will take on the form of a beautiful woman, but her face painter morbidly to resemble a decaying corps. With the cheeks gaunt, the eyes sunken, the teeth as if showing beneath the rotting flesh of her skull. It is a truly macabre visage, which she embraces for it does not impede her from performing her true purpose and presiding over her true domain.

Life was fragile. And so it was precious. The young human species clung to life with tooth and nail. Even when they began fighting over land, possessions and even mating companions they did so with the fierce intensity to survive and be the one to live on. To keep their existence for a little bit longer.
When the first life was given in self-sacrifice, in honor, Huitzilipochtli became. She sprang into being to govern those moments, to encourage those acts, to assuage the loss and pain of those left behind afterwards. Self-sacrifice and honor became her domain as well as the taking of one's own life to serve an honorable cause or as a sacrifice to one. As life was precious it was among the most altruistic of acts that gave Huitzilipochtli cause to separate from spirit and govern over those valiant ones who gladly paid the ultimate price with honor and grace.
She was also there to watch over those left behind. For a life was not a solitary occurrence. It was connected with many others. And more often than not those closest would not understand the sacrifice or the need for it. Huitzilipochtli would give those inconsolable ones reprieve from their pain and sorrow. She would give them the strength to move forward in life in the knowledge that their loved one would continue on in a new existence and would be rewarded for giving the most precious gift of their own life.
That was the beauty of Huitzilipochtli's domain.
But humans and other gods sought to tarnish its simplicity. Humans and gods alike would pressure, toy and torture others for pleasure until they brought them to the brink of sanity, when the only escape from their hellish existence was the bosom of death. It was an end to the suffering. The humans did it out of cruelty and wickedness. The gods to toy with Huitzilipochtli's domain.
As the goddess of suicide she would have to preside over those deaths. And that would soon tarnish the purity of the gift of live freely given back for honor and in self-sacrifice. With the passing of the time she was forgotten as Huitzilipochtli, the Hummingbird, the one who presides over sacrifice, honor and suicide. And became feared as the Goddess of suicide, and linked to decaying bodies and rotting flesh.
But she persevered, for even without worship, she still would find joy in serving those brave ones who would give back their own gift of life in the service of honor and sacrifice. And the ones who they left behind. She was alone, misunderstood, hated and feared, until she found her starkissed. And the purest of love knew her for who she really was and the beauty she presided over.
And again the envious gods were unhappy. They’d ruined Huitzilipochtli’s domain, but she’d found a way to push forward thanks to the love of her starkissed. They got jealous and even more bitter than before. And with that they became desperate. And in their desperation they took the only thing Huitzilipochtli treasured most. The one thing she would sacrifice anything for. Her Starkissed. They offered her a simple trade. Enter mortal coil, cursed to live over and over again. Or we will torture your starkissed for eternity. Huitzilipochtli didn’t hesitate. She never found out the complete extent of the dark gods’ treachery and that her starkissed would be cursed with her.

Your Burden Shall Be Mine When someone sacrifices themselves for others Huitzilipochtli can take their pain away for a medium amount of time. Allowing for a cleared mind to forge on.
Know The Joy Of Sacrifice Huitzilipochtli can reward an act of sacrifice with the purest of joy that will increase a person's awareness tenfold for a very limited amount of time /can't decide the amount of time/ .

@Mae Ah... okeydokey, was mixing something up with a previous post. I understand now. For the Abs. Nothingness buff I think that the mass willpower drain would probably be the best addition to that skill.
- mass amnesia would, in a sense, lessen the emotional impact that amnesia had on his bonded partner.
- wounding immortals is not all that bad, however, nothing is not necessarily physical, plus the lore has vodahil feeding of other immortals when they lived (in?) him, which I think translates better to a willpower drain, then wounds.

@Lord Zee Onto Thran, sorry for the wait!
Gah, I'm still a bit behind but should be able to catch up with you two @luckofthedraw@ihinka tommorrow <3
Also I'd like to go through the sheets again soon and check where everyone is at with the changes and what they'd like to discuss :D
Small adjustment to sleep:
Sleep: As long as Persephone can catch someone's eyes she can force them into a nightmare of sorts. They will face a memory they do not want to face, a past action perhaps. Afterwards they will be given a glimpse of their happiest memory, but will not be allowed to complete. This can trap someone for up to twenty minutes, though they will snap out of it if they experience serious pain.
Industria et Humanitas: Persephone can inspire a small town or village to become better people. Essentially forgiving them for their sins and imbuing them with kindness and diligence. While it may not be as useful in a fight, she can set a village straight with this ability. Making it incredibly powerful.
Sleep: As long as Persephone can catch someone's eyes she can force them into a nightmare of sorts. They will face a memory they do not want to face, a past action perhaps. Afterwards they will be given a glimpse of their happiest memory, but will not be allowed to complete. This can trap someone for up to twenty minutes, though they will snap out of it if they experience serious pain.

@Lord Zee Onto Thran, sorry for the wait!
I'm assuming you'll edit in his clothing appearance later down the line when you can properly express it :D
I love how detailed his background is <3
Can you name his home clan and give it a small paragraph so I can add it up to the rooster? It is likely a representative or two will be at the gathering at least.
Looking forward to finish reading Disparity when it's complete :D
I really like how in depth you got into how he became mortal too!
With a simple touch, weak wounds are healed and moderate wounds reduced in severity. non lethal, non-magical diseases and ailments are also permanently cured. Provides a small buff to the immune system for the next twelve hours. This ability cannot cure fatal wounds, maimed limbs or inflictions difficult to treat such as magical injuries.
Suppression: Pick whether you want to negate god powers or spells/abilities.
Starlight: This can currently either be picking one of the types (armor, tool, weapon specifically) with the potential blind on it. Or it can be the three types of objects without the extra possibility of blinding.
So basically: power or extra utility.
Stellar Impact: Summoning a meteor which is an insta-kill over an area is more an ultimate ability then anything, so you might want to either figure out smething new for this slot or move this up to the ultimate slot (but you have a really cool ultimate slot ability, so :D)
The everstar wish: Can you define what it means to be pure of heart?
As for the wish part, it's a very cool idea. Since it is so unique this ability would probably have to be dealt with on a case by case basis when used (e.g. five wishes made in one era would be very small wishes verses one single big wish)
You might want to limit this to only God's making wishes or perhaps key NPCs: for the reason above, but I'll leave that up to you.
Alternatively there may be a finite amount of wishes that take place, and there is some sort of filtering based on the "pure of heart"ness of the wish. But anyway, we'll start from what the pure of heart thing means and work from there how we flesh it out :D

Gah, I'm still a bit behind but should be able to catch up with you two @luckofthedraw@ihinka tommorrow <3
Also I'd like to go through the sheets again soon and check where everyone is at with the changes and what they'd like to discuss :D
@Mae Made all the changes but one, since I had some questions.
For Kenzie's "The Elements," you had:
Here are the edited sheets for reference:

For Kenzie's "The Elements," you had:
The Elements: Switch with the 3:1 position and pick one element to manipulate.What does that mean? Like abilities 1 and 3? Or switch the 1 and 3 in the cost, thirteen?? (probably not the latter, but that's what I thought of first and gut impression is that I'm getting something wrong 0_0")

These will unlock. Only the first ability shall be available in their first life.
Life Force: 0/0 (ignore for now)
Sorceress
The Morrígan is both a goddess and a great sorceress, and Eilidh is able to tap into those powers.Illusionist (4) : In stories The Morrígan is said to have shapeshifted into a seductive maiden to entice the hero, and this power comes to Eilidh as the ability to appear as a beautiful maiden or old crone to one person in her vicinity. If she uses this ability on another person nearby, the other person snaps out of it. This ability can last up to ten minutes at a time.
Shapeshifter (4) : The Morrígan has the power to transform into animals, such as a crow or a wolf. Thus, Eilidh has the ability to do such as well, but only for hour-long durations of time at most.
The Prophetess (4) : The Morrígan has the power to prophesy death and the outcome of wars, and this transfers to Eilidh as the power to foresee cryptic flashes of what is to come. The flashes can include images of anything that has not yet come to pass in this lifetime, and this power can be used to see into anyone’s future.
The Ferrier
The Morrígan is said to be the spirit guide, guiding lost souls from the battlefield to the underworld and their rebirth as well as easing their pain and suffering as they die.Tema me (6) : (Gaelic for “fear me”) The Morrígan has the ability to appear as Death when she receives souls, and this power comes to Eilidh as the ability to momentarily strike crippling fear into an opponent’s heart.
Spirit Connection (7) : As the ferrier of souls, The Morrígan is able to access the underworld and the souls within it as they wait for their rebirth. Because of this, Eilidh is also able to open the door to the realm of spirits, calling them back to earth to consult them for as long as she chooses.
Soul Sight (8) t: Souls do not lie. They do not change even with rebirth, and this ability allows Eilidh to check the soul of a person to see exactly who they are through all their lifetimes. While she will not glean information about the individual, she will be able to see their “true name,” the pure essence of their identity that does not change throughout their lifetimes.
Daughter of Ernmas
As the daughters of the goddess representing Ireland itself, The Morrígna are strengthened by the power of the land.The Three Morrígna (11) : The Morrígna consist of three distinct women, and this power allows Eilidh to split into those three warrior spirits for a short time. As they are goddesses of war and death, they are extremely hard to defeat but not impossible, and any wounds the three sustain will be inflicted onto Eilidh once they have fused back into one.
The Motherland’s Gift (12) : While fighting on the ground, The Morrígan can call on her mother, the goddess of the land, to heal her injuries. This will heal all physical injuries.
Blood Curse (Death): Using the The Morrigan’s powers, Eilidh is able to curse someone’s bloodline to nine generations of bad luck. The curses will be different each time and will change depending on situation. Because Eilidh is mortal and cannot sustain the goddess’ power, using this ability will mean her death.[ ⍚ ] A B I L I T I E S
Life Force: 0/0 (ignore for now)
Aether, God of Heavenly Light
As the embodiment of light and bringer of day, Aether’s abilities to manipulate light and day are granted to Kenzie as well.Innate Brightness (2) : As Aether embodies the bright, blue aether of the heavens that naturally glows with heavenly light, Kenzie has the ability to produce light from air by concentrating the particles of aether. This can be used to illuminate areas as well as produce a bright flash of blinding light.
Daybringer (2) : Channeling Aether’s powers, Kenzie can call on Aether to shine through his father Erebus’ shroud of night, effectively bringing daylight to earth even at night for a small area
Make way for Father (5) : Kenzie calls on Aether to summon a piece of Erebus on earth, shrouding the area around Kenzie in absolute darkness for a few hours. This fog of pure darkness shrouds sight of people in a ten foot diameter around Kenzie for up to ten minutes. Only Kenzie will be unaffected by this fog.
Familial Calling
From the union of Aether and Hemera came the earth and seas, the heavens and underworld, as well as the banes of humanity. By calling upon Aether, Kenzie can evoke his children's’ powers in limited ways.The Vices of Humanity (8) : From the union of Aether and Gaia came many of humanity’s banes, including “Grief, Deceit, Wrath, Lamentation, Falsehood, Oath, Vengeance, Intemperance, Altercation, Forgetfulness, Sloth, Fear, Pride, Incest, and Combat.” Kenzie can call upon Aether to reign on them the vice the other person is most susceptible to, affecting their emotions and thoughts for up to forty-five minutes.
The Furies (10) : Aether’s union with Gaia also produced the three furies, and Kenzie’s connection to Aether allows him to call upon the three sisters to do his bidding. However, because he is but a human, Kenzie can only supply enough energy to summon one sister at a time. Kenzie can summon a furie in their incoporeal form for twelve hours or their corporeal form for four hours. The incorporeal form cannot deal damage or be killed. The corporeal form can be destroyed just like all other flesh-and-bone beings, allowing them to be defeated in battle. The Erinyes are crones described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment. They will chase their victims to the ends of the earth if need be.
The Elements (13) : The union of Aether and Hemera birthed Gaia, Uranus, and Pontus, and Kenzie can call upon these gods through Aether. For a limited amount of time, Kenzie can gain full control of one of the elements the trio of gods represent.
Personification of Pure Air
As the embodiment of aether, the pure air of the heavens that brought life to Earth, Aether has inborn talents that Kenzie can channel.Blessing of Aether (9) : Kenzie calls upon Aether to bless someone with superhuman strength and senses for a limited amount of time by calling upon Aether to allow someone to breathe in the heavenly air.
The Breath of Life (13) : As Aether is the embodiment of aether, the element from which life spawns, Kenzie can call upon Aether to heal the physical injuries of an indiviual.
The Scorn of the Heavens (Death): Using this power, Kenzie calls upon Aether to curse an area, condemning that area to three eras of the polluted air of Erebus that is found mainly in Tartarus. This cloud can only be seen by immortals and cannot be dispelled, usually afflicting those in the area with poor physical health. Those with godly connections will find that their powers will behave erratically as Erebus blocks off contact with their god, having unpredictable effects they did not mean to cause. Should Kenzie return to this area, he would be the only person to fully access his god since he would be unaffected by Erebus’ shroud. The cloud of Erebus will fade steadily over the eras, disappearing at the fourth.
3:1 means your seventh ability slot (The way we note it is the ability:potency, so in this case the third ability, first potency). And then to limit it to one element. The free manipulation of three elements is way beyond what any of the other abilities in similar slots allow, even 3:2 slots.
An announcement: Narcissa's/Ylonia's 2:2 (fifth ability) has been changed. Mae has given consent for this.
