Well that was sufficiently unusual.

Wait Sam had contact with a god and didn't come out the other end all weird and.. godly? Our characters may get along after all!

All weird yes, but not Godly.

I will say it did amplify his magical power POST CURSE, but at the moment he is severely suppressed. You'll find out why sooner or later xP

[Slamurai]

I think the lot of us spammed a little!

[NewSun]

To my character, godly IS weird. If you're not godly, you're just a great guy.

I also apologize for being a bit snarky in my earlier comment, I don't mean it harshly.

We're not going to get along, are we?

Depends, are wardens pro-life of pro-gods, first and foremost?

If it's a Life God, sure! Otherwise, not so much.

As in, would a keeper choose to do something good in the name of morality even if it defied the teachings of their god, or do divine teachings take precedent over all actions, good or bad?

Divine teachings take precedence, it's one of the few ways they have of keeping everyone in line.

Yeah we probably won't get along ;)

Although this does sound interesting, and though I certainly would enjoy playing a part in this, I would like to ask a few things before I go on in thinking up a good character. - Are you going to take care in ensuring that (probably) not all our characters are going to be magical, or will you be encouraging magic and am I going to have to create a character who would have to be able to measure up alongside the other PC's, too? - Are our characters going to be generally aligned along with, against each other, or even in a more complicated situation like that? I'm impressed by the level of worldbuilding shown here, but how the plot would advance once we get started isn't at all clear. - I'm asking this a little ahead of time, but I'd also like knowing whether or not you're going to place mechanics or not behind things such as combat. Just curious, nothing I really need to know anytime soon.Still, I'm interested.

This seemed to be the most relevant post of questions. I'l get to everything here that I missed eventually. I told you guys this would be a slow week as I have a lot of work due
I'm hoping to get the antagonist's sheet done today/tomorrow and get the actual first IC post up the day after.

No I am actually encouraging characters to not be super magical, as it is somewhat against the lore. There is some tiny amount in everyone, proper mages are one in a million. What we have as characters so far I would consider slightly above average. More mundane characters are definitely welcome.

The main characters are essentially going to be forced to work together.

There will some few little background mechanics that I'll get into once we get going.

I didn't see the "Disadvantages" as "Weaknesses" I saw it as, "Why it sucks to be part of this faction" And training for 25 years in order to protect people for another 50 with little chance of surviving just to get the chance to be a parent sucks imo.Edit: Also, the magic rules established that all magic users need to "connect" with one of the gods. I just meant that none of them were getting their weird visions from other gods

Not all magic users need a direct connection. It is just one method of enhancement.
Having a short lived race with very potent magic doesn't fit the lore really.
I like the idea of the character and I trust you to RP it responsibly and not OP'd but I'm just wondering of how well it fits into the setting is all.

Alina Frein. Female. Alunei. Fifty-three (53) though appears to be in her early twenties (20's).Alina is a a rather youthful and beautiful young woman. The only thing that sets her apart from a human is her unnatural beauty and the pristine white wings often kept folded at her back. She holds a pale, delicate complexion with kind, violet colored eyes. Her lips are faintly pink and on most occasion in a simple smile. She has long, straight, pitch black hair that only accentuates her complexion. She isn't overly tall for her race, standing at five feet and six inches (5'6") with a slender yet athletic build. She is usually adorned with her armor, pearl white and intricately designed with gold trim and embroidery. Beneath the armor is expertly crafted leather armor treated with an unusual chemical multiple times to remove all color from the hide.The leather armor is there to allow the rare metallic armor to be light and spread out to give Alina the most maneuverability possible.The Alunei are kind by nature and so is Alina. She tries to see the good in all things. She has a nurturing and almost motherly way about her, tending to anyone that is hurt and in need of her help; even if it costs her more than a nights sleep. She has a strong sense of right and wrong and will never take the unrighteous path. Mainly because it physical pains the Alunei to do wrong. Alina is incurably positive, nearly impossible to damper her spirits. Thought because of all this Alina often gets in trouble, trusting to easily in those that would trick the girl. WIP - A straight edge, double sided blade without a hilt. Along the center of the blade there is a small divet on either side with intricate glowing runes carved into the metal.Graktite Plate Armor (See Character image) - Armor made of a pristine white metal only found in the caves near the Alunei settlements. The metal is incredibly strong and tremendously hard to craft unless they have the special skills trained to the Alunei blacksmithes.Travelers pack - A medium sized leather sack filled with the essentials for long trips. Medicinal herbs, rations, flint and a bedroll among other simple things. Alunei. Single. Arcane -Magical...The Alunei possessive a great many seemingly holy powers, namely their healing abilities. Though the Alunei are strong healers they use the rare herbs that grow in The Soul to increase their healing powers. Along with this the Alunei have powerful light based defensive powers with very few that could be considered offensive. None truly know the extent of an Alunei in combat as they have always avoided conflict.-Knowledge/Training/Basic....Combat Training.Survival Training.Herbalist training.Gliding.Race Sheet.

I like the basic idea for sure :) Nice to have a healer/cleric. Just as always, bare in mind that magic isn't as widespread as in other fantasy settings.

The Soul is a name for the desert, I believe.Also, I'm scared that goblin will just be one of those meat shields. Would probably make a great meat shield, cuz then GOBLIN SWARM!

The characters are being chosen for specific reasons by certain someones. There is no reason the goblin shouldn't or can't be chosen and therefore a member of the party. They are skilled individuals, some of them, but nothing extraordinary,

[FrozenEcstasy]

I'm excited because I feel like we will cross paths with the Naeri several times in our travels.

It'd make sense that Sam would be chosen for ease of travel? And then of course, other reasons, hehe.

I've been looking forward to generally meeting everyone, but Gypsy arabic nomads was pretty high up there. One character idea I had was a rerun of a gypsy like character I had done prior. Also anything involving the words "gypsy" and "caravan" is amazing.

Trust me, when we go on little side plots where each character has essentially their own story? You will absolutely adore Sam and the Naeri's interactions. If we ever hop into step with a Naeri caravan there will be beer and dancing and firelight hehehe. Keep your wallets held tight, Naeri children are rambunctious. The Naeri have member of every race too, so like, it's gonna be great.

Dark, care for Arnack and the Slayers to return, even though they never really got started? I'll probably rewrite it a bit but the premise will be exactly the same.
