_____________Kitsune_____________

_{Art work belongs to the respective artist, not myself, and I’m only using for representation}

Physiology

Breeding

Kitsune breeding methods slightly differ depending on their genders.

Males tend to seek out pregnant females either by shape shifting into their lovers, husbands or desirable male the target finds sexually attractive. Females follow a similar route by shape shifting into a suitable form to become pregnant and seducing a male into bed where she drains him of a notable amount of vis, DNA, and produces a fetus within herself.

While the infant, in either form, is developing the Kitsune splits off half their soul core and infuse it into the growing life. The core eventually infects and overcomes the fetus’ life over the next nine months, the newborn Kitsune finally formed and busting out from its mother into the world. With a human woman this process usually kills her since their system isn’t use to the shock, but a Kitsune mother will simply shudder and apply her shape shifting ability to recover from the damage. The latter will often move on with their lives, not staying to raise the helpless kit.

Pact

Kitsune has developed the ability to cheat death in a unique way: though a pact created by another being and creating a shard. This tends to be either Licenti or human (usually a mage) as Prae tend to have racial tenancies against Licentia in general, but it is possible.

When a Kitsune creates a pact, they choose a being to become a keeper of sorts for their shard and also to help supply vis into the ritual. Using the supplied Vis from the would be pact holder, they split about 1/4th of their Soul Core off. It condenses down into a shard like item and holds the genetic blueprint to reconstruct them later. The pact holder, in order to retain the current contract, must protect and keep it safe or risk breaking the link between them.

Growth/Development

Birth to Childhood

After being born, Kitsune’s development is very unusual compared to most Licentia. Instead of going to and forth from a growth to trial stage, they are set within an extended growth stage until about 2 decades of their lives. They seem to grow much like human with occasional brief burst of rapid changes that cover numerous years and vary between individual Kitsune before falling back to a steady rate. It’s very similar to humans’ growth ‘spurts’ in theory. Usually 2-3 changes are the normal while beyond 3 are exceptionally rare. Since they gain no magical strength or additions during the first 20 years of their lives, they remain solid and able to interact with the world. This also makes them more likely to be killed and consumed by other Licentia or humans (mistaking them for normal foxes- see paragraph below).

When they bust from their mothers, the infant Kitsune’s shape is that of a fox with a single tail and one magic ability. This ability is to help them survive as they are most vulnerable during this time in their lives. Within the first two years, they develop like a normal fox would physically and their growing mentality would reach that of an eight year old.

At hitting this milestone, they tend to gain their first growth ‘spurt’ causing them to take on the appearance of a humanoid fox around eight years old. They return to a steady growing rate with a few ‘spurts’ here or there depending on the Kitsune’s individual growth until they reach the adult stage at age 20.

Adulthood

After age of twenty, their growth and trial stages alters again. Instead of an extended growth period, there’s two trial stages and one prolonged growth period in the middle. Most humans believed, even to this day, that a Kitsune gains magic based on their tail number but this is incorrect thinking and knowledge. In their first trial stage (tail 1 to 3) they gain a new spell for each new tail they grow, not counting the one they originally started off with.

When they hit the fourth tail, they enter a growth stage. It’s a lot like their extended growth stage in their youth where it last up to a few centuries but without the ‘spurts’. They remain solid, their bodies able to collect Vis from their environment and building it up over time to strengthen their magic.

During this time, they gain no more magic spells, but they will still continue to grow tails. This is believed to be a biological way for them to keep track of time until their growth stage is complete. Another thing to notice is that due their bodies hoarding Vis, all their magic is slightly weaker than prior stages and while this makes them more cautious, this doesn’t make them helpless. If a Kitsune reaches the required Vis amounts before they reach the seventh tail, they will gain full potential in magical power but will not gain another ability until they reach the seventh tail.

When they hit the seventh tail, another trial stage begins repeating the process with tails seven through nine. When hitting nineth tail, the Kitsune begins to edge into the Eximius stage and undergoes one final change to their physical form: enhanced physical traits. This means their speed, strength, durability and more reaches into notable levels making them formidable close combat fighters.

They are also no longer in need of their ability to create a pact with another being, but can retain one if they desire. The main difference between this stage and the ones before it is the fact the Eximius can break it without the holder’s permission at any time and without ever harming the individual. Allowing them to recreate a new one or not.

Nature

While each Kitsune is different in personality, their up bring being a primary fact in developing various traits, there’s always an under laying instinct to create a pact. It is how they survive and outwit death which means until it is fullfilled, they will feel that nagging for it in the back of their minds. Most who completely ignore this have been killed and unable to return to a shard, their fate sealed in death.

Abilities

Shard Pact

*See Darius’ Shard ability for more details.

Tails

List of abilities and when they show up. Each tail appears within a range of ten years of the century mark, either five years before or after, depending on the Kitsune's development curve. Right after the tail’s appearance -unless it’s four to six- another magical ability will be gained and usable for the Kitsune’s lifetime.

   
• Tail 0 : Camouflage
• Tail 1 : Elemental Manipulation (pact related, fire by default)
• Tail 2 : Shape shifting
• Tail 3 : Barrier
• Tail 4-6 : Strengthen magic instead of gain new magic
• Tail 7 : Levitation/Flight
• Tail 8 : Illusions
• Tail 9 : Eximius

Culture & History

Kitsune are often considered tools by most Licentia that actually know about their true nature. They have evolved into Licentia that have adapted to depend on other Licentia in the form of a pact. Any independent culture of their own was long ago wiped out due to their ability to pact creating numerous Kitsune with various backgrounds, personalities, etc.

Dwindling Existence

In recent years, Kitsune have become more rare with the passing years. Their numbers now currently less than a hundred within Torqueo and still falling. The reason is unknown as most the surviving Kitsune are too young to realize this and any that have looked into it have simply vanished. Some believe it might be because their ability to cheat death is flawed or too old to continue the Kitsune’s existence into the future. It’s hard to tell which is true without additional information.

Nogitsune

While they look alike, it's commonly believed to be a variety of Kitsune or a completely different creature altogether. It is also called by numerous names: Void Fox, Dark Fox and much worse. So far, many Licentia believe them to be extinct and mere stories due to the lack of interaction with their kind for centuries. However there is a dark history to the reason of why…

[Fallenreaper]

_____________Succubi & Incubi_____________

_{Art work belongs to the respective artist, not myself, and I’m only using for representation}

Physiology

For those that aren’t familiar with the words Succubus and Incubus (plural forms Succubi and Incubi respectively), these licentia were often portrayed as Lilin-demons in female or male form before they officially emerged into the light. They appeared in dreams, often in the form of an attractive human in order to seduce their victims, and gradually lead to sexual relationships. This isn’t fully true as Succubi and Incubi can absorb a sizable chunk of Vis from not just humans, but other Licentia and even Prae upon contact lasting much longer than a few moments. This is usually done in a gesture ranging from a handshake to a deep kiss. However, thanks to a few mischievous Licentia it is usually assumed by most humans that they require sexual activities to fed. Upon being asked this, it might draw a few baneful looks from the more conservative Succubi or Incubi that prefer some degrees of abstinence.

Succubi and Incubi are considered the beginning stages of Sirens and Cambions, often created after either one of these have procreated. Though they aren’t technically suppose to, they are able to procreate new Succubi and Incubi when they delay their ascension into their higher forms. There are even rare cases of some Succubi and Incubi reaching the Eximius stage though once they reach such a level their ability to become Sirens or Cambions is impossible and has its own pros and cons.

Breeding

Should a Succubi and Incubi reach the stage where they can breed, they use similar methods with only a slight variation based on gender. Succubi possess a unwitting human woman casting an illusion spell, twisting her features into something attractive and considered alluring for the type of male she’s intending to attract. Casually she proceeds to lure then seduce the male into bed where she steals a heavy amount of Vis over time and becomes pregnant. Over her existence in the human host, who is completely aware, the Succubus gradually begins to imbue the fetus with small shards of their soul core. Unlike Sirens or Cambions, they can only do this once in their lifetime.

After a month, the Succubus departs the host leaving the human to bear the offspring. Naturally this has created ‘demonic’ offspring in several myths and rarer still, hybrids of their kind. Unless the trait runs in the Licentia (much like humans), most births are single but there are exceptions.

On the other side of the spectrum, an Incubus would physical shift into an appealing form where they impregnate a female of their choice, adding shards of their soul core and Vis to the mix. When the child takes hold and settled in after a month, they seem to simply vanish.

Birth to Childhood

While going through their first official growth stage within the womb, these licentia store and consume vast amounts of Vis over a nine month period. Despite what the mother tries, she can’t abort, damage or get rid of the infected fetus without causing her own death. Based on the Succubus’ and Incubus’ choice of victim, this rarely happens. Whenever it has, the child’s own Vis has created ‘miracles’ through various methods: the rope snapped, someone was summoned, etc. This prevented its demise, most the time, and allowed it to develop into the world.

Upon birth, Succubi and Incubi are coated in the Vis they collected from their mothers. This coat creates a very realistic illusion purely as a defensive mechanism to prevent the infant from being killed on sight. Over the course of the Licentia’s growth, this coat wouldn’t be required and fades gradually. To anyone trained to look past illusion magic or the mother herself, the illusion doesn’t work. Instead of a crying, healthy infant, there’s a very ‘young’ succubus or incubus infant with horns, fragile wings and a prehensile tail.

In these cases, the child was often killed out of fear ending the Succubus’ or Incubus’ lineage.

Should the child live past their mother’s attempt to discard or kill them, these licentia grow at a steady rate within the environment they are given to. Most tend to be taken in by relatives of the ‘manic’ mother or placed into the orphanage until puberty when the Vis layer completely fades to relieve their actual nature. In a few cases, the parent might seek out and snatch them away to be raised in Torqueo among their own kind.

Adulthood

On reaching puberty, they are considered adults and the collected Vis layer has completely vanished now. Succubi and Incubi are very different from each other, much like how humans vary themselves, creating no fixed appearance to represent them all ideally. However, they all do have a set collection of traits that make identifying their race easy. Most Incubi and Succubi have horn growths upon their heads (often budded from the head sides or forehead), two bat like wings sprouted from their backs, a prehensile tail extended from their tailbone and often an allure that causes them to become appealing to multiple races. Including other Licentia. Don’t mistake this for flat out perfection or being irresistible to any individual, but rather an unmistakable draw and finding something attractive about the Succubi or Incubi. *See Irresistible Charm in Abilities

The Succubi and Incubi have the ability to gain Vis though subtle and steady touch, draining Vis over time though interaction with the individuals involved in their lives. However, upon reaching adulthood the instinctive desire to become a Siren or Cambion has grown notably. So much in fact that they will seek out ways to gain additional Vis over the course of their life time and when they finally collected enough, they will enter another growth stage before becoming a Siren or Cambion.

Abilities

Irresistible Charm

While Succubi and Incubi have admirable traits naturally, they also posses a passive magic called Irresistible Charm. It combines both Vis and use of pheromones in order to create an appeal to almost any creature, ranging from an enjoyable personality to outright sexual appeal and completely dependent on the influenced party. This magical ability, while unable to affect everyone the same way, does try to aid in making the Succubi/Incubi more likable in order to obtain more Vis for its growing collection into a Siren.

However, this doesn’t prevent back lash should the Licenti become reckless or stupid. It isn’t mind control after all, but a method to create likability or attraction depending on the target.

Flight

A few things to note about Succubi and Incubi wings. Most are leathery and dragon like in appearance, giving them ability to control their movements in the middle of flight similar to how a bat might. Their range of flight, maneuverability, and more depends on the wing span and design over all. Larger wings tend to cover larger distances without continually flapping to rise higher while the smaller wings focus more on maneuverability and make navigating tight spaces easier.

Vis Drain

All Succubi and Incubi are able to gain Vis from humans, Licentia and even Prae if given the chance. They primarily do it through either touch or sexual activities, their unique biology making them nearly compatible with any sub race. However, they tend to prefer humans more because most are easily manipulated and have greater odds of not possibly being able to fight back.

It’s little surprise that the most Vis comes from more intimidate acts of lust which might explain their association and physical appeal. With touch, it varies mainly on how long the Succubi or Incubi can retain the contact with the target. However this comes with a notable and unwritten risk: Succubi and Incubi are known to become greedy and there are cases a few are known to drain more than their fair share. This is often driven by the primal need to evolve into the next stage.

Most well aged Succubi and Incubi know to avoid this… unless there’s little way to get caught or suffer back lash. They know killing the individual will result in only a fixed amount of Vis gain, instead of a steady source, and the word would spread lowering their chances to gain additional Vis from agreeable Licentia that might not kill them on sight.

Above Human Speed and Reaction Time

Succubi and Incubi aren’t known for being highly durable or offensive in a fight, but it doesn’t mean they don’t have other means to protect themselves. High speed and reaction time are a Succubi’s and Incubi’s forte as only a few Licentia are able to match and surpass it. This is because an attack is useless if it can’t hit and since the it won't take much to bring this sub race of Licentia crumbling to their knees, avoiding being damaged is rather important.

Dream Walking/Dream Manipulation

In most myths, Succubi and Incubi are known to be most dangerous in your dreams. They appear to be shapeshifters purely because they take on the appearance of what the dreamer most desires in another individual and shapes the dream into their favor. (see Lily’s CS)

Culture & History

Business like Practices

Due to a Succubi/Incubi’s need for large amounts of Vis, they often take up a trade or skill that some Licentia or Humans would find valuable. This often causes them to create a bartering system in order to obtain the required Vis levels for evolution in a shorter time than merely ‘stealing’ it from others. Many end up living in Medius, where they are often born, joining brothels or some other sexualized profession that allows them to get up close and personal with their targets. Others are more conservative and will become information brokers or wealthy individuals through subtle blackmailing means. Wherever their lives lead, one thing is certain: they will always have that need to evolve into the next stage and that’s the primary motivation.

Shapeshifting

Among humans, it’s commonly mistaken that Succubi and Incubi are able to shift and alter their shape like many other Licentia. This ability only achieved through dreams which is likely how this rumor and belief came into existence.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Alright everyone, arc 1, which while rather short was still a thing, is now finished. The SoL(Slice of Life/Shit out of Luck) mini-arc has now begun. The SoL period will potentially be a week long ICly, though we will fast forward if necessary (or skip stuff if people get stuck and things slow down, provided we're ready to start Arc 2). Within the SoL period you play within three days. So currently day 3 through to day 6 are available for play. You may do flashbacks to days before day 3 as well :)

Enjoy everyone! Good job helping us get through arc 1!

Oh, last but not least, there will be a reorganization during this "downtime" of sorts in regards to the thread and lore, as well as additional lore entries and the like to help everything be more organized and accessible. We will be recruiting during this time. An interest Check link will be provided when it goes up.

[Sarcelle Renard]

Hey folks, I've been snooping around the last few days after the Interest Check hooked me in and I just want to say that this looks like a lot of fun. I've been tossing around a few ideas for a character, but I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to answer a few questions before I really sit down and work it out.

1) I didn't see any real mention in the OOC on how exactly the Prae conquered Ominar. Was it through a overwhelming show of force that ended relatively peacefully or was it more of a drawn out and bloody conflict?

2) Are there such a things as military families in Prae culture? And if there are, would it be unreasonable to think that such a family would have a practice in place wherein each heir receives the previous generation's power?

3) Has an Exeo ever been stripped of the power imparted to them by the God-Queen? And if so, would such an event impair their ability to use magic?

4) I recall seeing some mention of Prae Law somewhere in the lore, but I don't know if I saw it expanded upon. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to find that or even briefly explain it to me?

Phew, that's all for now. Thanks for reading through this mess and I truly do appreciate any help you folks can give me with this.

I look forward to working with all of you!

1) I didn't see any real mention in the OOC on how exactly the Prae conquered Ominar. Was it through a overwhelming show of force that ended relatively peacefully or was it more of a drawn out and bloody conflict?

From my understanding with talking with the GMs, the take over was a quiet and gradual one. Enough so that no one actually knew what happened until the Prae started to seize homes, force the Licentia into the slums (some were clever to escape it) or into prison through corruption of the local police department. I’m not full sure on the exact details but as I said, it was very subtle and considering they left humans alone for the most part… most likely didn’t care enough to notice until recent year and a half. Humans make up most the population of Ominar after all.

There’s another point I feel is suitable to bring up and there was signs of resistance from Logan Cowley, runner and multimillionaire of the business distract within Ominar after the take over. This happened when it seems the Prae attacked his business (likely in trying to keep their control of the city) and people forcing him to react to the threat. Though the fight didn’t have as much collateral as you might expect, a notable number of lives were lost in the conflict that followed up. When Darius got involved, there was a fragile truce between the two causing the Prae to be pretty much banned from entering the Business District and making it pretty much a fortress patrolled by Mechas and Armax security (hired humans and Licentia, the head being a werewolf like Licenti named Rex).

For main details over the events I suggest you talk with all the GMs as I’m not fully sure myself.

2) Are there such a things as military families in Prae culture? And if there are, would it be unreasonable to think that such a family would have a practice in place wherein each heir receives the previous generation's power?

3) Has an Exeo ever been stripped of the power imparted to them by the God-Queen? And if so, would such an event impair their ability to use magic?

Question two I recall some mention of it by Yosh in the main chat, which I heavily suggest you pop into as we’re most active there, and here’s a good chuck of what I found in the Lore channel over this topic:

The prae's system is a combination of a monarchy, a fiefdom, and a meritocracy.

Prae don't have much in the way of internal politics.

They are a race united under one governmental system and more or less have been for a very very long time.

As to military generals?

The Exeo.

The Exeo, aside from the God-Queen, are effectively the most important individuals in the prae civilization.

They are expected to make 90% of the meaningful decisions that occur.

While making those decisions under the guidance, and occasionally the direct orders, of the God-Queen.

yoshua171

Number 3, I’m leaving to Celaira or Yosh to answer really.

4) I recall seeing some mention of Prae Law somewhere in the lore, but I don't know if I saw it expanded upon. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to find that or even briefly explain it to me?

Phew, that's all for now. Thanks for reading through this mess and I truly do appreciate any help you folks can give me with this.

I look forward to working with all of you!

Again, chat has an actual lore channel that you can look through for questions asked over Prae. That has increased greatly with the interest in the Prae who are going to have a big role within the arc after the SoL one. It’s a bit easier and you can leave additional questions for them to answer and enrich our lore more.

Ditto, so excited with the new interest. ^-^ Also sorry if the answers aren't the best, but I tried my best.

@Sarcelle Renard

Hey there! Glad to see that you're interested - I'll be happy to answer what I can, but some things are probably better explained by Yosh or Celaira:

1) The Prae took over Ominar peacefully, there was no combat involved - I'm not sure exactly on the specifics of this but the intro states non-violently so it is likely that it was simply a matter of moving in, declaring the area under Prae rule, and having that be that - for anything more specific you'd have to ask the GMs.

2) There are almost certainly examples of historically military families, and even if no such examples exist currently you would be free to make one provided that all other rules regarding the Prae were observed - the same applies to the transfer of power. It would likely just be a familial tradition to bond to the most powerful warrior upon death using their existing mechanics.

3) This is one for the GMs, I'm afraid!

4) I don't believe the specifics of Prae law have been expanded on beyond the fact that Priscus is essentially a no-go for Licentia and a kinda no-go for humans. While in Medius, the law will be functionally identical to human law with exceptions being stated IC - afraid I can't give you much more than that, though!

If there's anything else at all, feel free to join us on the Discord server. :)

3) Has an Exeo ever been stripped of the power imparted to them by the God-Queen? And if so, would such an event impair their ability to use magic?

@Sarcelle Renard

Yes, and yes. It could potentially render them entirely incapable of doing any magic ever again.

@Sarcelle Renard

1.) As mentioned by Tuujaimaa, the prae's takeover of Ominar was entirely non-violent, and was also actually legal. Essentially what occurred was that the prae, over a fair period of time, had their various "civilians" (actually the equivalent of diplomats, ambassadors, and politicians, but disguised as civilians) integrate into the various systems in the city (administrative rolls), until eventually the people unknowningly elected a prae as their governor.

From there the established system, which was now essentially controlled by the prae, could overturn the system they were part of and hand the city over to their leaders, in this case an Exeo by the name of Aismael Vea-vartari. So yeah, that's essentially how that happened.

2.) Definitely. There's even someone with a player character who is in such a family ^_^ That player is Vinsanity, and the character's name is Nasagiel. Also, such a practice is not at all out of the question, though usually a prae only imparts their vis when they are near death because doing so usually kills them. Though due to their "imbuement" ability they can technically give a bunch of vis to another prae without killing them. So yes that's totally plausible.

3.) As Celaira said, yes and yes. Although the process of doing so is sure to kill them if it is done by anyone--unless that individual happens to be the God-Queen.

4.) Yeah, we don't really have any expanded lore on Prae Law at current time. At a distant point in the future we may make some, or maybe sooner than that if it is needed, but honestly except on a situational basis, it's not terribly necessary at current time. However, we'd be glad to answer most questions you have about Prae Law, provided they are sufficiently specific ^_^

Also, welcome to the thread!

【Nabriales Taeryn】

【Death by Glamour/|\Mind of the Virtuoso】

~"The question isn’t whether or not I can procure what you need. The question is whether or not you can pay the price."~

Hider

Name: Nabriales Taeryn
Nicknames: Magical Mister Mistoffelees
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Alias: N/A
Age: 350
Apparent Age: Late twenties
Race: Human
Sub-Race/Lineage or Nationality/Specialty: Precursor Descendant

Appearance: Nabriales stands at 5'9" and weighs 170 pounds, a mixture of lean muscle and a small amount of fat. Nabriales is particularly fond of his youthful and somewhat varied appearance - he is adorned with a cracked pair of blue horns as a result of his various alchemical tinkerings, and after the mishap that gave him the horns was resolved he elected to keep them as he enjoys the aesthetics of having horns. Through the cracks vis in varying shades of blue or purple can occasionally be seen flaring up, particularly when he brews potions - though also whenever emotions or tensions are high. Additionally, he has a marking just underneath his right eye that seems to indicate a guardian bond between himself and a Prae - though he is particularly reticent about any information regarding such, and merely states that he enjoys the way that the marking looks.

Nabriales can often be found with eccentric clothing, preferring to wear loose-fitting robe-like clothing that gives him maximum fluidity and breathing room. He is known to change the colour of his clothes, or even his entire ensemble, on a whim. His clothing choice is often woefully inadequate for his chosen profession - alchemy - and his colourful drapery is often made moreso by the spills of various reagents, and patches tend to be missing - Nabriales often does not notice this, and as soon as it is pointed out will either change entirely or repair his garment magically.

When channelling vis throughout his body, Nabriales' skin and horns take on various hues in a scintillating rainbow pattern.


Personality: Nabriales is part narcissist, part egotist, and part downright flirty - he is a man of great pleasure, and often finds it primarily in himself and his actions. Nabriales is, as most of his kind are, a prodigy in the magical arts - and this natural talent has shaped his perceptions of greatness for as long as he has been in this world. Everything always came easily to Nabriales, and he has internalised his easy successes as greatness - though he takes this far less seriously than he is like to let on. He does fundamentally believe that he is on another level, and that the majority of the people that he meets are beneath him, but does so in an endearing sort of way that leaves very little room for misinterpretation - prideful as he may be, he is well aware of his limits and is keenly perceptive of the capabilities of those around him.

Nabriales is also somewhat of a hedonist, preferring to play instead of work. In order to actually get anything done, he tries to mentally categorise as many activities as play as he physically can - and this is usually accomplished by doing everything he can with his whimsical and capricious nature and simultaneously trying to include physical relations in as many of his activities as he thinks he can get away with (which is an awful lot). As a result, Nabriales is an extremely tactile individual, and prefers hands-on contact in as many instances as possible. To many, this is a nuisance initially, but due to his fairly captivating beauty and generally intoxicating demeanour many simply learn that it is the way he works and accept it for what it is - a playful manner of going about what would otherwise be uninteresting.

Nabriales is a homosexual, and is fairly forward with it - even if it is not immediately obvious from sight alone, his interactions with any male that shows the slightest hint of interest very quickly confirm it. He is well-known for his habit of bedding people as often as possible, especially those that he has business dealings with, as he considers intimate relations the sign of a deal well-struck. If confronted about his behaviour, he is quick to apologise for any overstepped boundaries but will absolutely not tone down his flirtatious nature, and depending on the nature of the rejection will take it as a personal challenge to get what he wants. Due to his profession and innate alchemical skill, it is not usually out of the question that he gets precisely what he wants - a feat that amuses him to no end.

In general, Nabriales is a flirty, bubbly individual that delights in his own pleasure and the pleasure of others, and will seek to be the life of any party he happens to wander into. Fortunately, he considers life to be one big party.

Belongings/Equipment

Hider

Stash of Crystal Vials - True to the Taeryn line, Nabriales is capable of crafting crystals from pure vis. He has created several crystals, one for each colour of the rainbow, that he has sculpted into alchemical flasks to contain the various brews he creates. Due to the intrinsically magical nature of the flasks, any potions kept inside them do not lose in potency over time and will never expire. Nabriales treasures these vials, and typically uses them only for the most potent alchemical creations that he can muster, or for very close friends/relatives.

The Alkahest - Nabriales has synthesised an extremely potent solvent that he calls the Alkahest, named after the mythical universal solvent. The Alkahest is kept within a vial lined with runic magic that prevents the Alkahest from ever touching the sides and suspends the liquid in midair, preventing anything from interacting with it or vice-versa. Nabriales is capable of manipulating the liquid with his vis, which will rapidly dissolve almost any substance that it touches, excepting that which has a great deal of imbued vis. The vial of Alkahest is capable of dissolving an entire human body within 60 seconds, down to 5 seconds if the human is dead.

Generic water filled vials - Nabriales has a stock room in his store (Victorious Secrets) filled with generic glass vials filled with water that each have a rune emblazoned upon them that allow him to summon them to his hands at a moment’s notice.

Cellphone - Used to pick up dudes and call clients. Mostly the former.

Alchemy / Potion Making [Imprinted]
Nabriales is an exceptionally gifted alchemist, in part due to his status as a Precursor Descendant and in part due to natural talent. He has studied Alchemy for an extremely long time, focusing almost entirely upon it, and as a result is able to make any common potion merely with his vis alone (along with some special potions of his own creation) - rarer and more exceptional potions still require certain rare ingredients, but he is adept at making the most of them and providing only the highest quality of product when finished.

Crystals [Imprinted]
Vis Crystals of various types are used as currency for the five families. Because of this, the ability to make them has been passed down through the generations. Nabriales is only able to make crystals that do not have a particular element to them, but is particularly adept at the manipulation of their shape and can create fairly large crystals when given time and energy.


Vis Sight [Imprinted]
This ability allows the user to see vis in the environment around them when vis is focused in the eyes. Whether it be people, animals, or even objects; if it has vis in it, they'll be able to see it with enough training. The imprinted version of this ability allows Nabriales to pick out ingredients for potion making with startling accuracy and efficiency, as well as offering him a natural insight into the nature and properties of any vis-laden object that he sees, though when not applied to alchemy this insight is quite limited.

Vis Sense [Not Imprinted]
The ability to sense, or feel vis in one's surroundings. Nabriales’ non-imprinted version is strong enough to allow him to sense the different races' vis, but only on a very cursory level. His Vis Sense is tuned enough to detect the vis within objects, however.

Teleportation [Imprinted]
Nabriales is particularly skilled at teleportation magic - he is able to teleport himself and up to two other people to any location on Medius that he has visited before or has a detailed map of and feel for the ambient vis in the location (which is largely restricted to areas he knows, such as Ominar or the compound). Nabriales’ specialty also extends to teleporting objects marked with runes, though this specifically requires preparation and can only really be used on objects that he has personally invested vis into.

Elements: Fire, Light [Not Imprinted]
Nabriales is capable of casting novice to intermediate level fire and light spells, as well as imbuing objects with their properties or creating minor vis constructs from those two elements. It is an art that he struggles with somewhat, and often neglects to use except to apply heat when making potions.
