Okay, took me a while to come up with something that maybe works with this sort of vague and flexible "magic/cultivation/ascension" system, but here's the character concept I'd like to pitch before I go to all the work of making a sheet or anything.



EDIT: Will probably do a more summarized version (or just put the background in a hider) for the actual sheet, but that can wait till after feedback and/or approval.

@Randomness This all really just sounds less and less like your character is meant to be the Inheritor, and more like this tree should be.


If the tree went, it wouldn't serve the purpose of spreading its seed and growing more trees like it. Also it's not so easy for a tree to uproot and explore a new world on its own.

But it's funny you should mention that. The new character I had in mind is also a tree. Like a tree it would still be immovable, but has managed to absorb enough power to become sentient and enough magical power to create physical illusions of people that act as avatars so it can explore, interact, learn and communicate with a body even though it's a tree.

@Randomness So what your saying is...You speak through trees? And your a spirit of a tree? Is your name perhaps the Lorax?

@Lewascan2 Give me the summarized version first, that was supposed to be the point of having a short CS. If you can't keep it brief, it means you've overcomplicated the concept.

@Randomness Like I said, keep things simple. I think this is a better idea; why bother with the middle-man?

@KillamriX88 I see what you're getting at. Again, I urge you to push it further. Rather than just, "guy with his sisters living inside him," what if they were an actual triarch-godhead? Three faces, six arms, the whole deal. Just an idea of a direction to take; I like the idea, and want to refine it.

@Dead Cruiser I'll see what I can come up with. Probably won't go that extreme, but perhaps a middle ground that can appeal to both of us.

@Dead Cruiser Okay, made it about as brief as I could manage. I felt it would honestly be simpler to just go ahead and craft the CS outright, so here you go.

Very broadly summarized: Jen is a black-souled/Perceiver human, whose mostly White Arts based magic is over the manipulation of the forces of Speed, which allows her to also perform some connected space-time techniques. She had dipped somewhat into Red applications but didn't fully take the plunge until it was literally a matter of saving her world. At that point, she attempted (and succeeded at) the fabled speedster time travel ability with a twist, accidentally apotheosizing herself in the process and basically becoming the concept of Speed in a humanoid form.

She lost a great amount of her mortality, as her "perfect time travel" technique relied upon her sacrificing her history/past existence in order to avoid a paradox. In order to not fall apart and defeat her opponent in the meantime, she crafted a new body from the fundament of Speed itself to act as a preservatory pocket for her memories and soul. As a result of this body, she now exists as a self-sustained island of existence within the normal timestream, allowing her to explore the more exotic applications of her magic at far less personal risk going forward.

@Dead Cruiser When is the deadline for sheets?


No time too soon I'd assume, since we don't really have any fully approved character sheets yet. I'd only worry about time crunch when we've got maybe 3-5 approved minimum.

As an aside (and as someone who collected and still owns some of those legos), you've been spelling Bionicle wrong. XD
That said, basically running a Bionicle borg... thing? That's the concept? It's certainly distinctive amongst the character concepts we've got so far.

@Lewascan2 Not exactly, he's more a soul inside a metal body. And this is a better idea of what he's all about:

It is not the body that needs to be made perfect as clockwork, but the world. Every part of the world is a gear, striving toward perfection, but cannot see the greater whole. The Architect sees. He sees that even his entire universe is a gear in a greater machine, and he cannot perfect the design without knowing all of the components.

Interesting... I was getting a more "steel dominator of the universe" vibe from him before than a "wants to enlighten the universe into the glory of steel" in your earlier posts. What, does he just want to turn everything into something straight out of Transformers/Cybertron? Is that the means or the end one wonders?

@Lewascan2 You see to the Architect the world, no the universe is imperfect or even ugly. The flesh is barbaric, and obsolete. A world of perfection will only be capable of becoming reality once the new world is born.

Interesting. Then I wonder what he would think of my character, a human who ascended past flesh into a state more similar to being an elemental of the force/concept of Speed itself.

Think of it in a more fantasy-esqe angle, more like gears and steel working like clockwork in perfect harmony. Primitive steel bodies filled with a soul, stripped of useless flesh.
