@Lord Zee Can you explain more of a Fae's concept of aging? I understand that they're essentially eternal provided they "rebirth," yet how does this transfer in terms of actual age? How old would a Fae be to be considered elderly, for example?
I think the real question would be; if a Fae is reborn, do they retain all their memories/experiences, or is it like a tabula raza experience where they start entirely anew! :O
I imagine you wouldn't accept a bunch weaknesses like "Sucks at Cooking", "Incapable of carpentry" that would never become relevant to the plot as an excuse to overboost your real skills anyway!
(Unless you had a secret cooking quest down along the way of the story... )
Here is an initial draft of my character,@Lord Zee :D
Picture or Description: To be added.
Name. Zehnra Duskleaf
Age. 2
Gender: Female
Race: Semper Fae
Personality: Bubbly, curious, reckless, naive... though her mood can switch drastically when she channels her magic.
Backstory. Two years ago, as the corruption was born and spread within the womb of the Ebony Mountains far away, Zehnra would blossom into the world beneath the Mother Tree during a night come to be remembered as 'The Black Veil' by her people; a night said to be so dark that the stars and moons vanished from the sky, to cast the lands beneath in such a complete darkness it left the people blind until the coming of dawn.
Semper Fae are often affected by the time of their blooming; whether it happens during winter or summer, day, twilight or night; which can be reflected in their appearance, traits and personality to wildly different degrees.
So it would also be for Zehnra, who seemed to have been marked the night she was spawned. There was an unsettling darkness that resided within her, a subtle thing, though could nonetheless be felt by the other Fae around her. Although they remained friendly and cordial, Zehnra nonetheless found herself drifting apart from the rest of her kin, as they avoided her, and she in turn found herself drawn to the darker groves of her home forest, spending much of her time away from her kin and even coming dangerously close to the scorned on many occasions.
Magical abilities. 3x Dark Magic, 1x Alchemy
Combat abilities. 3x Enhanced Health/Resilience.
Flaws: 1x Clumsy
Artifact of Dramoria: The Book of Harow, "The Dark Apostle". Pulled from the Emperor's deepest vaults is an eldritch tome filled with secrets, made long ago by the magical genius and religious madman Harow Archendale. Filled with pages upon pages of arcane scripts and diagrams that seem to shift and change on their own, the book is said to hold a library's worth of secrets, from the mundane to the legendary. It is even believed that it holds the mad soul of Harow himself; magically bound into its eternally changing pages; who screams his secrets at anyone with a mind to listen and not be driven insane.
Motive: Discomforted by the presence of Zehnra among them, the Fae grove leaders decided it would be best for their community to send her away. And so when the Emperor demanded tithes or soldiers, the grove-leaders instead offered up Zehnra, marketing her as their greatest sorceress, full of knowledge, power and ability to be given to the Emperor. Of course the truth of these claims were debatable, but the Emperor's messengers took it as such, and so "The Great Sorceress" Zehnra went with them. Zehnra herself, being only 2 years old and full of curiosity, saw it all as nothing more than a great adventure and went along with it all.
Knowing little about the Semper Fae, I sort'a borrowed a bit from GW and imagined them as plant-people born fully into the world and affected by the circumstance they were born in if that was okay with you :D
Also, question!
1. Could I apply penalties to my characters, such as 'Physically Weak' or 'Clumsy' to further boosts my other combat stats etc? :D
2. Do we start with the artefacts, or are we given them by the Emperor? Or can it vary from character to character?
About combat, could I add just all my 3 points into one-single instead of spreading it across 3 different ones to become an utter pro at that one specific style? xD
