Welcome all to Numenera: Stars of Glass! Submit characters and ask questions here. All characters must be approved before entering play. If you are unfamiliar with the setting this thread will help or feel free to come to me with any questions.

RULES

  • Standard Guild rules apply.
  • Writing minimum of two paragraphs per post.
  • Sexual and/or gruesome themes and imagery are not prohibited as long as no one is made uncomfortable.
  • Characters must be at least somewhat humanoid. Between 3 and 9 feet. (Additional limbs are acceptable)
  • Characters should be experienced and decently competent in their skill set. However, they are not gods.
  • Characters should be no more powerful than a veteran hero or adventurer. You may be impressive, strong enough to tip a carriage with strain, or adept enough to manipulate gravity in your close proximity.
  • Backstory has almost no limitations. As long as it makes sense for you to be involved in the story.
  • You need not ask to submit a character. Go ahead!

Hm, I have a couple of ideas, I kind of want to see what other people come up with before I make one, so I can pick the idea that will fill a niche rather than make repeats.

EDIT so I don't flood the thread double posting. Can you tell us a little bit about the town of Omar, so we can come up with a reason our characters might be there?

Name: Monarch-12

Age: 13 years awake, unknown when they were constructed.

Sex: none

Type: Glaive

Descriptor: Golem

Focus: Endure

Explain Focus: Mon’s android body is harder to break than squishy humans, and their internal power source never seems to run dry. They can take hit after hit, and never tire or slow down.

"I am a golem glaive who endures.”



Backstory: The Monarch - 12 was created for a long forgotten purpose, by a long forgotten people. They were jacked by a numenera hunter, and sold to an affluent family, who kept them as a manservant. Having no active memories, Monarch learned all they know from them, including language and attitude.

A violent revolution freed them involuntarily, and monarch had wandered the earth ever since. They fell quite naturally into the trade of hunting numenera, but despite their freedom, they have never quite shaken the attitude of subservience that they picked up.

Oh, thanks, I'm relieved, actually. I'm new to the source material, so I'm glad I managed to capture it okay.

Is it allowed to already have some numenera/artifacts? I know we're supposed to be hunters for them. Any limitations on what they might be if we do?

Will we be making them up as we go, or will you tell us what/if we find things?

@Gisk Having numenera on you is allowed. The nature of what they do is up to you, as long as they aren't 'overpowered'. Even then, you can have a very powerful numenera device that only works once.

What do you want your numenera to be?

Note: In universe numenera that only work once are called cyphers; numenera that work multiple times are called artifacts; and numenera that do something weird and are practically useless are called oddities.
(Just in case it comes up)

@ColouredCyan Approved! A doctor that is not a nano! I like it!

@Insert Alias Also approved! Character submissions go in OOC, then Characters once they're approved. (No worries though, all is well.)

@Mortalya I'll take 2 random Numenera for now, however I have an idea for a Numenera that my Seeker could seek for (whether or not she finds it doesn't matter much). A plain sowing needle with a magic golden thread that joins objects that have been sown together seamlessly when the thread is cut. Obviously designed for creating high quality garments in an era of great excess, Ashley considers this a waste of its potential.

Are you inventing our random choices or are we expected to come up with somethings? I hope that you are so I can experience the true wonder of your character's shop, but understand if you aren't.

@ColouredCyan The random numenera will be 'chosen' by me. I do really like the needle idea! It's cool and a good arch.

Play by post being weird the way it is, I left in a place where Elijah could be speaking. I can edit the post if necessary, but I figured that given the chance he would probably talk about his god.
