@Cyrania The collar is a symbol of the absolute trust in eachother. Being an elven mage already puts you and an extreme advantage over me. To be willing to put your life in my hands as I would yours while fighting is a sign of mutual respect and camaraderie. Then again most of you elves are the same.

I secretly like Sues and Stus because of the joy I get by punching them to death.

@Cyrania If you didn't look into it, Psykers in Warhammer 40K are hunted unless they fight for the Emperor, at which time they are soulbound to him, increasing their willpower, their abilities, and making them loyal. I'm still a Knight. I know the power of mages and how dangerous they are. I wouldn't force you to do it but I certainly wouldn't trust you until you put the collar back on. Fredric had five of his battle brothers cut down by a bunch of mages, he still wears their sigils around his neck like dog tags to remind him of that. My companion Nala even still wears her collar.
@Cyrania I wouldn't mind a second healer empower me as I punch a dude to death with my supernova hands. I ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST... so long as you wear a collar too.
@Laue I kinda wish you told us sooner. However, My lore starts with me and my (now dead) battle brothers investigating the ChaHorrnets. I was going to reveal that we stumbled upon that mob's connections to mage groups. Would it be possible for me to try to re-connect with my brothers, expose the Los Vengadores and try to not have Nala enslaved (RIGHTEOUSwench's character) and do GREAT JUSTICE?
@Laue I'm definitely going to be co-operating as I plan to work with both mages and Luminous Knights. I basically want a reformation but not servitude nor Mage Supremacy. I even would still have connections in the Knights but the relationship is a bit more complicated. Having a mage battle brother would also allow opportunities to gain the trust of some of the mage groups albeit shaky.
I hope it's okay with you @Laue but I'm going to be MIA from the knights for the first bit of our story. My battle brother relationship with Nala is going to have me trying to gain support from other knights whom I was friends with before my squad was killed. I'm going to still try to work with the knights, just in a more independent way. My ultimate goal is to either have mages be able to be enlisted in the LK (think psykers in Warhammer 40K) or split from the order and make a new Human Federation with mages still in bondage but able to prove themselves and attain status while under the careful watch of an inquisitor.
I got a question about some of the history. Have there always been all of these magical beings around? Have these tattoos always existed on sentient species? Was there some sort of magical awakening when all of this stuff came to world?
The only thing that I still don't quit get is progression. Do my spells gain in power with use? With study? By eating magic gems? You also mentioned a way to increase my natural cap of 10. Is that through equipment and abilities? Can I get a dwarven mechanical arm that gives me 40STR? Can I have six of them?
Appearance:
Name: Fredric Dirk Ferdinand
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Faction: Luminous Knights (MIA)
Personality: Fredric was always and idealistic and charismatic man. Recent events however has forced him to temper that idealism with brutal realism. Though he has almost limitless strength of spirit, his body can only push him so far. Fredric devotes a majority of his of his down time in study, meditation, or training. Still, he will not refuse conversation and is often the unofficial leader of his group.
Bio:Fredric D. Ferdinand was born into a family of low ranking Luminous Knights. The lack of status did have its benefits. He had a loving family, good friends, and a great childhood. He not only joined the LKs because he was from a military family, but because he wanted to do real and lasting good for the people of Altea. The happiest day of his life was the day of his Initiation Ritual,for he finally had the power to do good. With the help of his new squad mates and the LK, the world will finally be rid of the evil outsider rouge mages. After a few successful brigand apprehensions, and a raid repelled here and there , Fredric and his close friends/battle brothers were assigned to deal with a small time mob boss of a offshoot of the CharHornets. Usually the LK wouldn't concern themselves with the affairs of Outsider cities but the mob's influence was starting to make its way into lands under LK protection. This mission ended up going horribly wrong.
Stats:
STR:5
AGI:6
PER:3
INT:6
WIS:10
CHA:10
Spells: Smite - Casts a close range beam of Lumosity. At ranges closer than 3ft, the Luminosity will be absorbed by a person's body.
If the person is a Mage, the Luminosity energy will cause damage like any other Luminosity attack. Produces little to no
heat.
Imbue - Channels Luminosity into an object. Can use simple elixirs or even some minerals and alloys to hold energy
for later use as a light, bottled Smite, a heat source and more depending on composition of elixir.
Lumen Strike - Projects a field of Luminosity around a the caster's limb. While this does nothing but cast a bright light from
any particular part of Fredric's body now, he has heard legends of great paladins who had fists blessed with the heat of
the sun and the force of a falling star. Fredric feels like this skill is worth developing, if only in memory of his
battle brother "Squid".
Skills/Techniques: Unconventional Tactics - Will use Guerrilla tactics to fight a more powerful foe. Still heeds pleas for
mercy and won't use poison, but will forgo most chivalrous codes if innocents are at risk.
Close-Quarters-Combat - Trained with grappling, striking, disarming, and non-lethal take-downs. His body is just another
side arm to him. Can be uses in conjunction with other melee weapons in different ways.
Amateur Alchemist - Can concoct simple elixirs, practice field medicine, gather materials, and knows basic chemistry.
Survivalist - Has basic knowledge for how to survive off of the land. Training given to all Knights
Combat strategy: In an even fight, Fredric will adhere to the code of the Luminosity Knights. However, when in dire straights, fighting against a dirty opponent, or when the lives at others are at stake, he will ignore those codes to do good. If faced with two bad options, he will always pick the third option.
Arms and Armour: Standard full plate armour of a Luminous Knight (Good Condition)
Billhook (Good Condition)
Dirk (Good Condition)
Warhammer (Good Condition)
Cat 'o' Nine Tails Scourge (Good Condition)
Accessories: Medallion of a LK (x6) - He wears the five medallions of his fallen battle brothers and his own around his neck.
Crest Ring - A ring that bears the Ferdinand family crest. all the patriarchs of his family wears one.
Misc. Items: [Book] Journal - Used to take notes.
[Book] Alchemy for 3 INTies - A book on basic alchemy.
[Book] Everything you Ever Wanted to Know About Tactics but Were Afraid to Ask - Guide to tactics, conventional and dirty.
[Book] DON'T EAT THAT MUSHROOM! - A field guide on commonly found herbs and plants.
[Kit] Standard Issue Adventuring Kit - A large pack filled with ropes, chalk, a tent, tinder, some pine-sap, a bottle of
120 proof vodka, a compass, a water-skin, a hatchet, and a shovel. Fairly expensive but worth it.

Wow, I'm surprised I got accepted with those stupid book references. Perhaps to balance out the crap-tastic events that's happened to him, his quirk is that he likes humorous and useful books. I can imagine a subplot to visit the Forbidden Archives for a chance at a copy of "So You've Fallen in Love With Your Sentient Mount and Other Adventurer Problems".
