"For what Iakobos lacks in build, he makes up for in his height - standing at 6'7", he usually towers above others in his tribe, and has dealt with more than a few "how's-the-weather-up-there" jokes in his lifetime. As a teenager, the best term to describe him was gangly; ungainly and ungraceful with too long limbs as he grew. Thankfully, as adulthood approached, Iakobos has become more comfortable in his own skin. Long strides are confident rather than stumbling, and his frame has some wiry muscle packed onto it to lessen his look of awkward boniness. His face has retained this sharpness, and as nothing other than fat will change that, he's happy to keep it that way. Over-consumption is not an admirable trait.
The resting face of Iakobos would best be described as stoic, to a degree. His dark brown eyes look oddly bright underneath sharp brows, and with a hood usually pulled over his head and face, shadows often accentuate his sharp features. High cheekbones, a strong, narrow nose, and tight-lipped smiles give off an air of coolness. Iakobos' baritone voice only adds to this, what with his tones being mellow and calm - his pitch or volume rarely change, even when amused or angered. To hear him laugh much is rare, but if a chuckle is brought from him, his shadowed face seems to spring to life just a bit more.
As for his clothing, he favours robes, and hoods are often seen hiding his hair. While he keeps his brown curls washed as much as possible, they are fairly untameable. He prefers to simply tie the shoulder-length locks up and hide them away. The robes themselves are practical for his work, versatile for dealing with various changes in weather, and also quite comfortable to sleep in. Not to mention it's amazing how many small weapons one can hide in the folds of the cloth. Iakobos has a fair few in different colours, but tries to keep them as muted as possible. Bright yellows and reds are not appropriate wear for one who enjoys avoiding attention.
Iakobos' curse mark is no longer visible, after having been covered up by a tattoo. Originally, the mark was a spiral, located on his left shoulder-blade, but was covered over and made into the likeness of a sun. When his powers are used, the spiral extends and mutates, tendrils coming from it and burning into his skin. As time goes on and the mark grows with his usage of powers, he experiences terrible chest pains. When the tendrils have taken up most of his back, neck, and worked it's way around to his chest, he is close to death; once it reaches his heart, he'll not survive long. "

"Although Iakobos can often come across as aloof or cold, this is generally just a byproduct of his tendency to seek isolation. While certainly not against having friends, he's never been one to draw attention to himself. At festivals, he can usually be seen on the fringes of various events, drinking alone, but still generally having an enjoyable time. Small talk with strangers and acquaintances is exactly that - very small indeed. While he may come across as disinterested, Iakobos simply is a man of few words. When it comes to those he doesn't know very well, anyway. Politeness and even kindness is a constant for him, unless speaking with someone who doesn't deserve it. Amongst friends however, he has a tendency to open up. A more colourful personality takes the front when with those he likes, as a love for poetry, music and art flows free from the once quiet individual. Iakobos does have passion in his heart, particularly for those artist talents that can't be learnt or taught, but for that natural flair which individuals are born with.
Typically, Iakobos is very much involved with his work, so enjoying moments with friends is sometimes a rare occasion for him. He never tells people why he puts so much time into his work as a healer, but that is perhaps because he doesn't know the answer himself. Whether because he wants to avoid going back to an empty home after a long day, or simply just to keep up some form of purpose in his life, Iakobos isn't entirely sure. Either way, these rare moments away from his work are generally spent alone."

"The Mordwin Tribe started out many years ago as a simple caravan of hunters. As time grew on, this group grew, as did their source of income. Jobs branched out into other areas, and soon it had become a small society of nomads, increasing in size and wealth with each passing year. By the time Iakobos was born to Petyr and Athis, the group had become a tribe of it's own; named Mordwin for the first hunter who founded the caravan it started out as, it now contained several hundred people, all of varying social statuses and vocations. As for Iakobos' family, they were considered quite at the top of the food chain in this wandering clan. Not quite the Leaders, but close enough to have certain values to uphold. One of these was for Iakobos to join the Chieftain's guard and become his Head Advisor when he grew old enough - a fine position, reserved for only the bravest and wisest; but what made the position even more beneficial was their current Tribe Leader had no heir. Petyr hoped that with getting his own son to bond with the Chief, his family could inherit the position at the time of the Chieftain's death.
Iakobos was not happy with this arrangement.
While his father wanted him to fight, Iakobos wanted to learn more about the outside world; the other tribes, the static ones. He also developed a keen interest in healing, due to his mother's tendency to help out the Clan's healer and midwife when they needed assistance. Thankfully for Iakobos, Athis persuaded Petyr to let him learn the things he wanted (saying it would aid him when it came to the advisory role his father wanted for him) - on the condition he also learnt the skills Petyr demanded. Although not particularly happy with the situation, Iakobos couldn't deny that learning to fight and hunt were undoubtedly useful skills, particularly in a tribe like his own. Constantly moving was dangerous business, but it was what the people were used to - they had no reason to suddenly change their way of life.
As time passed, this understanding between Iakobos and his father grew stale. The role as Head Advisor may be an influential position, but Iakobos did not want it - his skill as a healer was growing, and he knew he could help more people by going into that work. His father couldn't accept this, and the two were constantly at blows. The arguments would have been a semi-permanent thing, were it not for the tragic end to Athis. Pregnant with twins, she died in childbirth after complications, the male twin dying with her and the female one barely clinging to life. Several months after her death, Petyr was still distraught and nearly mad with grief over the loss of his wife and son. His daughter - named Isadora - had been nursed to full strength thanks to what Iakobos had learnt. Although grateful for his eldest's skill, Petyr couldn't convey it properly. The two had fought for so long, it was hard for him to show anything positive without coming across as condescending. Errant words of praise turned into digs, and as soon as Isadora had turned one, Petyr was back to hounding his son for taking the job as advisor. Eventually the two came to blows, and after a raging argument, Petyr threatened to disown Iakobos if he did not do as he was told. In the Mordwin Tribe, disownment was a dreadful thing to threaten. It was not just from the family, but from the entire Tribe - they would become exiled, left to fend for themselves. If they were spotted, everyone in the Tribe had permission to kill the disowned individual. Iakobos would normally ignore such a threat, even with how serious it was - but Petyr was still ridden with grief over the death of his beloved, and the son who never got to grow up. He feared that his father would make good on his threat... and so, Iakobos would leave of his own accord.
Now as a man at the age of 18, Iakobos left the clan that night, not thinking clearly in his own grief. By the time he had changed his mind about leaving, it was hopeless to go back. Days had passed, and the clan would have moved on. Even he wanted to, Iakobos didn't dare try to find the clan again; is his father had followed through on his threat of disownment, then his life would be at risk. Trying to ignore his regret, Iakobos went on westwards, hoping to find a new home.
After several years of wandering; visiting various different clans and building on his experience as a nomadic healer, he finally settled in Longear Tribe at the age of 27. The position of apprentice healer was vacant, and he had more than enough experience to take the job - although distrusted at first as a stranger, the people of the tribe eventually got used to him, and his skill has only grown since then. Now Head healer after the death of his teacher, Iakobos is somewhat apprehensive at going to this gathering of clans. Typically, the Mordwin Tribe never went to these gatherings, but times change. Rules dictate that exiles are not to be killed at gatherings such as these, as the ground is neutral... but he can't help but wonder what would happen should he reunite his father, or the sister he never got to know."

⍚ Nyonwë ⥥ God of Faith, Diligence & Intelligence ⥥ Male ⥥ Pansexual ⍚
Dark God
<All ye be wary of the lone vagrant traveller on the roads; for a simple beggar-man he may not be. Tales tell of noblemen and rich ladies, shunning him as he begs for food in exchange for his last coin. They were foolish, for Nyonwë knows all faith. All errant prayers, blasphemers, heretics and supposed do-gooders are known to him, as are their actions. Those who defy the words of their God, or claim virtues when sin only remains, will incur the wrath of Nyonwë. Such noble lords and ladies who deny charity, are denying their Gods whom they worship - and are also denying Him. His justice is quick and fervent, and all those who fail him and their Gods' words will fall.>

"In most occurrences, Nyonwë would appear to mortals in an image of themselves; a simple man, unremarkable in most aspects. His cloth was poor, his face average, and he carried nothing but a single coin with him. In most legends, this was done to test people; supposed holy men and women that should be just and charitable to all, or however their specific religion dictated. If they passed him by while ignoring his pleas (For no good reason, that is) his image would shift into that of a tall warrior-priest. Eyes and hands glowing with ethereal light, armour pieces appear over his once ragged robes, and a shining mace manifests out of thin air. His presence becomes awesome to look upon, and most mortals find themselves unable to look him in the eye, some throwing themselves to the ground in an attempt to avoid looking at his image. For other immortals, this effect of discomfort rarely affects them, unless they are particularly dark."

"As it stands, Nyonwë was never known for much unless it had something to do with another God. While he was a patron of intelligence and hard work, his main domain was that of faith, and ensuring that mortals kept in line with what they had pledged to do or be for their particular God. Some deities thrived from sacrifices or offerings, and it was down to Nyonwë to ensure this happened. While particular Gods could invoke their wrath if feeling angry, it was Nyonwë who remained ever watchful. No stone went unturned when it came to his upholding of holy laws... but as time passed, things began to grow lax.
More and more mortals were disobeying their Gods, but what made it worse was that some Gods themselves stopped caring. They had grown over-indulgent, happy with their powers and to just let things be. The one thing that made people even care about Nyonwë was fading. Those praying for aid in diligence were turning to Gods of War, Toil, or Work. Those wanting Intelligence would pray to Gods of Invention; of the Arts, of Language, of Wisdom or Memory.
He was becoming obsolete. Unknown, unimportant, pointless. The God of Faith began to lose it himself, and in desperation, turned against those holy rules that he held so dear. The Gods needed to learn humility, as did the humans. When word reached him of the Dark Gods and their deeds, Nyonwë was at first believed to be one of their main opponents. But instead, he joined them; in his mind, casting the Gods down would teach them humbleness, and perhaps the lack of the Gods and their divine actions on earth would show the mortals the error in their ways. But guilt overcame Nyonwë as he saw the full extent of their actions. Starkissed were being torn from one another, and in his moments of blind vengeance, he discovered that his too had been cast down and cursed. Deciding that he no longer deserved to bear the mantle of immortality, Nyonwë followed his fallen kin, to live our the rest of his days as a mortal."

Three General skills to start and up to two combat abilities. Due to the setting you may also have 1 Survival ability.
- Scholar: Thanks to his background, Iakobos is able to read and write.
- Healer: Following his training, and then several years of experience, Iakobos is quite skilled in aiding the hurt and ill. Medicines, surgery and emergency first-aid are his forte.
- Observer: Due to his quiet nature - and the necessity of keeping a keen eye on patients - Iakobos' skill in perception has been honed over the years; as such, he knows quite a few rumours.
- Hunter: Belonging to a wandering tribe meant that hunting was far more important, due to a lack of crops to farm from. Iakobos learn alongside his sister how to hunt properly, but due to his lack of experience with a bow, prefers to use traps rather than tracking down actual prey.
- Swordsman: Thanks to formal training paid by his father, Iakobos has some decent skill with a sword. While no expert, it's certainly enough to defend himself out in the wilds.
- Stave-master: It is instead with the staff that his true talent lies. The length of wood allows him to attack those that would otherwise be out of reach, whilst avoiding their own blows. He has become quite adept at wielding it, and is capable of landing painful, or even fatal blows, with it.

These will unlock as we continue.
Life Force: 0/0 (ignore for now)
Ability 1: Psychometry
Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills; Iakobos can take advantage of this, as he searches the minds of others and take what they have learnt.
The Hills Have Eyes: Information can be pulled from inanimate objects to see events that have transpired before them. The less energy (Or life) the object has, the less clear the image will be in Iakobos' mind. Additionally, the more time that has passed since the event will cause the image to deteriorate.
The World is Watching: Information to answer a simple question can be pulled from the mind of an intelligent being, so long as they are willing. Only a vague sense of action and memory can be witnessed, without emotion or feeling.
Mind Meld: Information can be swapped with a being; if Iakobos wants someone to understand something very quickly, he can meld either his mind or another's to theirs, allowing the information to essentially be downloaded. While it has the ability to be very powerful, the melding of minds must be done with consent by all parties. An unwilling mind cannot take part in this process.

Ability 2: Perseverance
Subjects dedicate their time and effort to achieve a goal... whether they want to or not.
Rigour: One's fatigue slips away as they are imbued with a new sense of purpose and commitment.
Coalition: A group of people are suddenly able to work together for a common cause they believe in, as they set aside all disagreements until their task is complete.
Labourer's Lament: A person is forced to toil away at a labourer's task, whether they really want to or not, for either until the task is complete or for the duration of a day. Pain and fatigue disappear while doing so, but this can prove detrimental as injuries are not lost during this time.

Ability 3: Faith
Most people have faith, including Iakobos himself. No matter how small, it can be used - for just or unjust needs.
Mark Against Evil: Items and people can be blessed with holy magic to ward away evil and the dark.
Forceful Followers: Iakobos can turn up to twenty unwilling mortal individuals into his own followers; cursing them to become dangerous zealots who's only purpose in life is to serve him.
Godly Justice: Iakobos takes on the form of his previous, immortal life; glowing with a brilliant holy light, he is imbued with his godly strength and can use it to fight enemies and protect others. However, since his actions as a Dark God, he is no longer immune to his own holy powers - he becomes consumed by the light as it eats away at his own corruption.

Nissa rolled a love relation with Taltrus originally. Then I rerolled it into Tlalli. So Nissa and Taltrus can not be in a love relation. I believe it was now rerolled to Cicero?
So taltrus can have that crush on Nissa.

@Filthy Mudblood hello! -wavewave- So I was quickly looking over Valerie and I thought her manipulating enjoyment/Amusement Inhibition could potentially be condensced down into one power. Then you could move Misdirection down to your strongest moderate ability (2:3) and have a new weak potency strong ability (3:1).
I only suggest this as I would assume manipulating enjoyment includes lessening it. However @Melo brought up a great point in that maybe you meant Amusement Inhibition to be a really really powerful negative effect, in which case keep it as is.
Just wanted you to know you have some options, but it's up to you what you want to do, you can keep it the same if you like :D

@Apokalipse
Cicero - can you describe his clothes in his appearance section?
awwh I love how he's mobbed by children constantly xD
AAAH YOU ADDED IN A GIF FROM THE PEVERELL BROTHERS STORY. YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE PERSON NOW
It's up to you if you want to elaborate on it or not (you can say no) but do you have an inkling on what you want his past to be like before he lost his memories? Where he came from? You can leave it as it is if you want to, however.
I LOVE the illteration in his poem. So perfect <3
Really like how you've involved Mephisto in the world by telling his tales to the ancestors of monnkeys, owls and elephants. That'll come into play.
aaand his abilities are named after some of the animals :D Great theming.
Monkey See, Monkey Do: Melo made a great point: does this just copy the action the other person took or the entire skill itself? Also I imagine this ability would be able to "retain" one skill at a time :D
Sharing Is Caring: Mephisto is able to get a vague sense of memories he needs from others, and receives the knowledge they have through them. Mephisto is able to perceive memories even if they have been forgotten.
Or:
Mephisto is able to perceive memories he needs from others, and receives the knowledge they have through them. Mephisto cannot perceive memories that have been forgotten.
Selective Amnesia: Just to 100% clarify, this is for a single, specfic memory?
Take Roots: You can implant one memory into someone per use of the ability.
Also what happens if he has two memories conflicting? Melo made an excellent example of if a man killed a guy, and then you implanted the memory that a woman killed the guy, without removing the first memory. I'd think it'd just cause him some confusion (due to the deception/trickery line) But I want to know how you imagine this :D
Sob Story: Firstly, no suicide or extremely survival-threatening task can be a target for Sob Story. After that, there are quite a few options on where to take this :D
Since the action taken is also somewhat dependent on the character's personality (e.g. two people persuaded of something might act differently on that information) It's effectiveness would probably be on a case by case basis in terms of: less effective for a large group of people then one or two people. As well as determined by action-specfic: An example from Melo is that telling a bunch of people to kill a dragon would be less successful then telling them to provide food/shelter for Mephisto and his buddies.
A Shaggy Dog Story: I just love the concept xD Mephisto is able to bring stories alive. By telling a story, he can manifest characters in real life and make them do what he wants. How many characters he summons depends also on the types of beings he summons. For example, he could summon one young dragon, or a small collection of faeries, or a horde of newborn babies. Furthermore, the personality of these creatures and the accuracy of their depiction is dependent wholly on how well written the story itself is. A story written without great care of character will summon creatures of similar robustness. In this way, it is very difficult for a summon brought to life this way to be 100% accurate to it's cast. If a God is summoned, they do so without any of their Moderate-Strong powers, their Weak powers are in some cases lessened, and the accuracy of their personality will usually not hold up under complex scrutiny. This is due to the complex magical nature of accurately protraying gods themselves. However this summoning may be useful to temporarily confuse people, for example.
For example, a bad fanfiction will produce a bad, paper-thin character. Sometimes literally paper-thin, if you want. Anyway...
Fish Story: yay, gotta love the sweet sweet target revenge slow murder! Delicious.

@Ihinka
Can you state what type of practical clothes Shas'ti likes to wear?
Ok so, the way the Dark God/Starkissed system works is those who are working against the Starkissed are Dark Gods, and those who work with benevolence with them are Starkissed. I would say Te'Muti is more a Starkissed spy then actually a Dark God, since she's not working against the Starkissed. More like a sleeper agent.
Magic animal handling: Sorry this is more of an ability so this one I won't allow I'm afraid. You could do something like "magical creatures are less likely to attack her"
Dragon Knowledge: What is she knowledgable of? Dragons themselves? Or everything?
Stealth: Okay so is she good at hiding OR very fast?
Half-breed: So you could pick faster here and then make stealth stealth-only and not speed related. Or you can make this strength related. OR you can have a small general bonus (think Raydon's ability to have no penalties based on weapons, but no bonuses).
Also if you want to base your mechanics on her half breed nature, would you be able to tell me or Melo who her mother was? This may have IC implications, however if you wish to leave it vague you can.
Also I see her lore mastery is in her skills :D I think a little of her backstory:
Of course the basic survival skill set was also ingrained in her from a very young age. Hunting for food, foraging, basic healing techniques, vast variety of combat techniques. Shas'ti was well versed in the use of most human weapons and Shan'tu often wondered if her combat prowess was due to her mixed heritage.
doesn't line up with her skillset currently, but that might just be my lack of understanding of a couple of things.
Sleep!: With a touch Shas'ti can induce a light sleep into anyone and anything. The bigger the target, the harder it is to put it to sleep.
Dream Imprisonment: Here are some fun options for you :D
Shash'ti can lock someone into a trance, sometimes a dream or nightmare, for up to ten minutes. This ability will fail when the character is presented with pain, life or death situation, or if they begin to feel something is wrong very powerfully.
OR
Shash'ti can put someone into a light sleep for a few moments, allowing them to wake up either refreshed or sluggish.
Dream Attack: A global targetted attack is a touch too powerful for a Moderate-low ability. I really like that you're keeping to your theme, but i'd be tempted to make this an ultimate ability or a penultimate power ability with some distance nerfs. If you still want this ability here, we can do something with it, but it will require nurfing the distance among other things. Is that okay?
Really like that she can get hurt back though :D
Dream Materialisation: Again a bit powerful for a slot, unless these things that she can materialise are one non-living, non-magical mundane object at a time.
The Bliss Or Horror Of Dreams: Pick whether you want this to fear or buff :D
Oneiric Teleportation: Can she specifically teleport to a person or just within a general area?
Right now i'm leaning towards:
So long as she doesn't have any negative intent, Te'Muti can teleport to any sleeping creature within 600m of her location if one is nearby. If no one is present in that area, the ability does not trigger and the cost is not used.
Ability Imprinting: No sorry this ability doesn't work, would you be able to think of something else for this slot?
Panmnesia: this is cool, but I worry about it's use in later eras. Memories will be retained between incarnations anyway, so you will find this ability does not measure up to other 9s really fast. Also, if you can imagine the last era, it would be sad if you couldn't use your 9 in a final showdown or something. I would suggest a new 9 for this slot <3

@Middleearthroze
Scholar: Thanks to his background, Iakobos is able to read, write, and study various things with ease. Literacy is it's own skill in this era specifically, so you can have one skill as literacy and another as studying.
Observer: Just wondering if this is a small buff to general knowledge, or a large buff to perception alone or knowing rumours?
The World is Watching: Information to answer a simple question can be pulled from the mind of an intelligent being, so long as they are willing. Only a vague sense of action and memory can be witnessed, without emotion or feeling.
Mind Meld: Information can be swapped with a being; if Iakobos wants someone to understand something very quickly, he can meld either his mind or another's to theirs, allowing the information to essentially be downloaded. While it has the ability to be very powerful, the melding of minds must be done with consent by all parties. An unwilling mind cannot take part in this process.
No abilities or skills on this one ^^
Labourer's Lament: A person is forced to toil away at a labourer's task, whether they really want to or not. Pain and fatigue disappear while doing so, but this can prove detrimental as injuries are not lost during this time. (I need to think this one over a little bit more, but should have a proper reply for you soon)
Forceful Followers: Iakobos can turn up to twenty unwilling mortal individuals into his own followers; cursing them to become dangerous zealots who's only purpose in life is to serve him.

@Mae
Let's get this thing out of the way first 
It's ShaS'ti
Can you state what type of practical clothes Shas'ti likes to wear? Ugh... Hate describing clothes... or shopping for clothes I'll try
Ok so, the way the Dark God/Starkissed system works is those who are working against the Starkissed are Dark Gods, and those who work with benevolence with them are Starkissed. I would say Te'Muti is more a Starkissed spy then actually a Dark God, since she's not working against the Starkissed. More like a sleeper agent. Yes... I get that... Would it have been better not mentioning that so that only I would know. If you want me to remove the Dark God tag I don't mind
Magic animal handling: Sorry this is more of an ability so this one I won't allow I'm afraid. You could do something like "magical creatures are less likely to attack her" Just basic animal handling then. But that would still allow her to ride pantheras for instance
Dragon Knowledge: What is she knowledgable of? Dragons themselves? Or everything? No, not nowledge about dragons. But from dragons. Since they are really old, especially the Great Ones... So they would know a thing or two about survival more than the average person.
Stealth: Okay so is she good at hiding OR very fast? In my mind stealth requires both speed and agility. But for this let's make it straight stealth - hiding.
Half-breed: So you could pick faster here and then make stealth stealth-only and not speed related. Or you can make this strength related. OR you can have a small general bonus (think Raydon's ability to have no penalties based on weapons, but no bonuses).
Also if you want to base your mechanics on her half breed nature, would you be able to tell me or Melo who her mother was? This may have IC implications, however if you wish to leave it vague you can. To be frank I haven't thought of what her mother is exactly... But since I want her mechanics to be based on that I'll try to find something suitable and tell you guys only, because I don't want it to be public knowledge.
Also I see her lore mastery is in her skills :D I think a little of her backstory:
Of course the basic survival skill set was also ingrained in her from a very young age. Hunting for food, foraging, basic healing techniques, vast variety of combat techniques. Shas'ti was well versed in the use of most human weapons and Shan'tu often wondered if her combat prowess was due to her mixed heritage.
doesn't line up with her skillset currently, but that might just be my lack of understanding of a couple of things. "By the time she was about twelve she already knew most of the clans' scriptures and had extensive knowledge about each tribe's lore. For those were the most basic skills hunters like herself and her dad required to do their job." This is actually her most important skill as a magic beast hunter. Since one would suppose those animals don't just show themselves she would have to know the lore that exists and use that to piece together what they might be and where to find them. So her basic training is second to that.
Sleep!: With a touch Shas'ti can induce a light sleep into anyone and anything. The bigger the target, the harder it is to put it to sleep. I'm fine with that change

Really like that she can get hurt back though :D Let's replace the Ability Imprinting with this one than with whatever you feel apropriate as nerfs for that ability slot and I'll find another ability for this slot.
Like this: Dream Recall: Shas'ti can make someone recall all their nightmares they've ever had, causing their brain to short out, launching them in a catatonic state for...
Dream Materialisation: Again a bit powerful for a slot, unless these things that she can materialise are one non-living, non-magical mundane object at a time. Non-living and non-magical deffinitely... I was thinking more along the lines of weapons, but since they are pulled out of the dreamscape they could be not yet existing weapons. Like bazookas for instance
The Bliss Or Horror Of Dreams: Pick whether you want this to fear or buff :D Let's go with buff, she's a good girl after all
Oneiric Teleportation: Can she specifically teleport to a person or just within a general area?

If no one is present in that area, the ability does not trigger and the cost is not used. Just within a general area of a sleaper... She can use the sleaper as a beacon of sorts to teleport to that location. Not with the intent to get to a specific person. It's a streight movement ability. Just a long-distance one.
Ability Imprinting: No sorry this ability doesn't work, would you be able to think of something else for this slot? Replaced with Dream Atack. I don't mind, it's okay
Panmnesia: this is cool, but I worry about it's use in later eras. Memories will be retained between incarnations anyway, so you will find this ability does not measure up to other 9s really fast. Also, if you can imagine the last era, it would be sad if you couldn't use your 9 in a final showdown or something. I would suggest a new 9 for this slot <3 What memories do we retain though... This is intended for memories from when she was a god. Not human memories she makes each new incarnation. So that she can remember what the dark gods did and retain that. If that still doesn't work... I'm sure I can pick a 9 Melo would be glad to steal away from me
As beckup:
How about an aoe attack of sorts... For instance: A Glimpse Of Akasha: Shas'ti can open the gates to Akasha wide for anyone within a radius of..., overwhelming their brains with the sheer amount of knowledge and informations stored their, causing them to immediately lose consciousnes and or die... not sure...

@ihinka I think it's also of note that your character isn't literate. Your character would not be able to understand scriptures or use a lore diary (which would be scroll or a tablet, so don't expect it to hold endless lore). Also, be wary that clans are still very much primitive. Far from all clans have well-established lore. I imagine a good number doesn't even have scriptures of their lore. (paper in these kind of eras is rare).
I'll also tell you ahead of time that animal handling, animal taming and animal riding are three very different things. Not that panthers make viable riding animals to begin with.
I also question why dragon-like creatures from the ethereal realm would know about survival. They don't have the need for the same survival skills as humans. Also, what they would learn by observing humans do it would be up for interpretation and reliant on their location.

@Melo
Let's just go with animal taiming if possible then and for the other two I'll just see if I can come up with two different skils, because I feel like they can't really be adjusted

Scholar: Thanks to his background, Iakobos is able to read, write, and study various things with ease. Literacy is it's own skill in this era specifically, so you can have one skill as literacy and another as studying.
Okie Dokey, I'll change that to just reading/writing. :)
Observer: Just wondering if this is a small buff to general knowledge, or a large buff to perception alone or knowing rumours?
Uhhh sorta a bit of both I guess? If I have to clarify it a bit more, I'll say it's more perception & rumours than general knowledge.
The World is Watching: Information to answer a simple question can be pulled from the mind of an intelligent being, so long as they are willing. Only a vague sense of action and memory can be witnessed, without emotion or feeling.
I'll edit this in. :)
Mind Meld: Information can be swapped with a being; if Iakobos wants someone to understand something very quickly, he can meld either his mind or another's to theirs, allowing the information to essentially be downloaded. While it has the ability to be very powerful, the melding of minds must be done with consent by all parties. An unwilling mind cannot take part in this process.
No abilities or skills on this one ^^
You've lost me here I'm afraid! <- Never mind :D

@MiddleEarthRoze The original mind meld as in Iakobos's CS was able to 'download' skills and abilities. That was considered too powerful for the slot. (Even Mado's 3-2, which is very similar to this ability, can not do that.) So we removed that part.
