Character Creation Guidelines

2012-04-03T17:06:08Z

1. Character needs to be either human or immortal.

2. If a character is an immortal there needs to be a reason why they're an immortal and the immortality could theoretically be reversed.

3. If you are creating a character in response to a wanted character request please talk to the player you are creating the character for.

4. Immortals don't have any additional powers outside of not being able to be killed. Humans do not have any powers outside of being human.

5. Immortals and humans can use magic, but magic is very weak now compared to what it was in ancient days. You need to specify what a character can do in their writeup.

6. Characters created as humans can become immortal during the course of the game. Mod notification is required.

7. This is a character driven game, not an organized plot driven game, so you are responsible for developing and plotting for your character. No one will do it for you.

Please email the mod with any new character bios and existing character changes.

			Akantha Biography Current Name; Alex Thorne Akantha was born in Ephesus (in modern day Turkey) in 420 BCE to poor parents. Akantha spent a lot of time on the streets and learning how to steal food to survive. She caught the attention of a priestess of Artemis one day and the priestess talked to her parents. She offered to take the child to the temple to train to be a priestess of Artemis. Akantha started out as a servant in the temple and spent years training to be a priestess. She was almost ordained a full priestess when a young man caught her eye. Deciding that service to Artemis was not as important as the young man, she stole a large pearl that had been sitting in the palm of Artemis’ statue in the temple along with some gold and ran away. The young man and Akantha ran away to Athens together, but soon another woman caught his eye and he left her. Spurned, bitter and on alone, Akantha didn’t know what to do. Little by little she sold off the gold she had stolen from the temple, but she couldn’t bring herself to sell the pearl. Time passed and she eventually married a well off gentleman and settled down. Decades passed and Akantha didn’t age. She was happy about her good fortune and when her husband died, she inherited his estate since they had no children. She would eventually marry again and as before she inherited her husband’s wealth when he passed and they had no children. She did this a few times before she became disillusioned with not aging and being made to watch people she cared about grow old and die. Akantha went to the Oracle at Delphi to see what she could do to start aging again. The oracle told her she had to return the moon (meaning the pearl) to the goddess she stole it from. With the temple of Artemis destroyed, Akantha was cursed to never age. She gave up on forming serious relationships and turned to a life of wandering. She learned how to protect herself by studying armed combat and fighting skills. She would learn from whomever she could get to teach her. She spent the next century and a half wandering the world and visiting all different cultures. From Great Britain, to Egypt, to China, Akantha went from one end of the world to the other. She learned all different styles of fighting and languages as she went. She developed excellent thieving skills at this time and couldn’t resist the challenge of stealing small items off of people and from their houses. Eventually Akantha made her way to Rome where she married a senator. She stayed there until he died and then moved to a small town in the countryside. She purchased a villa and some land and would use this as a base through the years. Underground rooms would be created and in these rooms Akantha would store the various baubles and items she liberated from others. After a few decades she returned to Rome and once again married a rich senator. She would repeat this a few times through the two centuries until the time of Augustus. Once Augustus died, Akantha left Rome and would not return until the 1500s. Once again she took to traveling the world. She made her way to the most remote corners and learning whatever she could from all the different peoples. She settled in the Frankish kingdom during the time of Charlemagne. She would spend the next century there, moving from town to town every few decades and occasionally marrying a nobleman and taking his wealth at his death. She kept up her thieving skills and fighting skills in secret and continued to liberate items from various rich noble families. She went west to England during the Norman invasion and settled in London. London was growing and allowed her to move to different sections every few decades instead of having to move to a different city or town. There she met Raegar and learned of the Custodes Thesauri and their mission to keep objects of power away from the hands of men and from being used. Raegar offered her a position and initially she declined, but would eventually accept it. Wanderlust would hit her around the year 1200 and she once again set off to explore the world and see how much had changed in the centuries since her last visit. She wandered through the Middle East and on through to Asia. She returned to Europe in the 1400s and stayed in France for a hundred years. She moved back to England around 1500 and became a part of Henry VIII’s court. She retreated to a country house for a few decades and came back to court during the latter half of Elizabeth’s reign. Akantha settled in Jamestown with the first group of settlers. After a few decades she moved north to Philadephia. By the time the Revolutionary War broke out she was living in Boston. Not wanting to get involved in the war, Akantha sailed back to Europe and settled in Greece, returning for the first time since her departure around two thousand years ago. She would stay in Greece for a number of decades before she returned to the United States in the mid-1800s. Since then she has divided her time between San Francisco, New York City and Denver. Akantha takes on a new identity every twenty years or so and moves to a new city. She currently lives in Denver and runs an antique store named "Curious Goods". She specializes in rare and unique items. She still steals various items on the side as a hobby to keep life interesting. A run in with a vampire very early in her life led to an interest with the occult and the supernatural. Since then she has studied the occult and folklore in every area she has traveled or lived in. She watches over North America for the Guardians and has her vault in Denver.


			Phillip Rics Biography Nobody is quite sure where the name Rics came from for the most established warrior family in Europe, and even fewer are sure when they first began. But by 800BC they had already made a name for themselves in Greece as warriors and had settled in Athens. Seeing a shift in power, especially military power, the Rics, although they were not using that name at the time, moved to Sparta and managed to climb the ranks swiftly to establish themselves as the skilled and blood thirsty warriors, who helped lead their armies and answered only to the king himself. Their participation in Thermopylae and Spartan victory in the Peloponnesian War brought them greater power and notoriety. They claimed to be descendants of Ares, and that their strength and skill in war was due to the blood of gods. This claim only furthered their reputation and sometime during this period the family acquired the Spear of Ares. Granting its owner partial invulnerability in battle at the price of an increase in blood lust, it became the family’s greatest treasure. Fearing it may be stolen or taken from them, they hid it for safekeeping and opted to rely on their own strength until they found the Sword of Ares. It was predicted by the oracle at Delphi that they would indeed reach great heights of power while ‘blessed’ with the weapon, but that even greater power could be had, immortality even, if they could obtain the sword. They would reach their peak when this was found. The caveat being that their line would end at this peak. Seeing Sparta’s decline, the Rics moved back to Athens, then to Macedon during its rise, eventually ending up in Rome as generals. They continued moving across Europe, going where they saw power would end up, placing themselves in the best position they could. Their conquests and reputation garnered them riches and the fear and admiration of others. They continued on, spending time as nomadic warriors, leaders of armies and favoured knights. But all the time careful never to take the crown for themselves, because as far as they were concerned, real power lay with those who could control the crown not those who held it. Famed for their bloodthirsty nature, as the age of wars changed to accommodate guns and the face of politics changed, instead of staying with the armies they went underground, controlling crime families, the new royalty as far as they saw it. Manipulative and still bloodthristy, they killed all in their path who opposed them. But not by hiring others to do so, no they would defeat their enemies themselves. As a family they valued strength in battle and ruthless intelligence. Compassion only got in the way, the only people they should care for were blood relatives. Because not only was blood thicker than water, it was all that mattered to them. The members of this family are highly trained in all forms of combat, from old fashioned sword fighting to being expert marksmen. Their goal is to be the greatest and most powerful line of warriors that has ever lasted, and to never bow down to others. Throughout their history they have acquired many ancient and magical artifacts, most of which are weapons, but they hold a family vault, location known only to the direct line, in which these artifacts are safeguarded. The family is rather secluded and don't adhere much to current time ethics and norms. Women are warriors too in their mind and the only life worthy of preserving is that of the powerful, which must preserve itself. Others need not apply. In the early 1900s, the Rics finally found the Sword of Ares, dug up on an archealogical dig in Greece, the sword found its way through the blackmarket, none of them aware of its true significance. Wasting no time, they arranged for it to be sent to London where they currently resided, where it landed in the hands of crime families that had been under their influence but were beginning to be unruly. These families rebelled and joined forces to try and get rid of the Rics, right before they reached the peak of their power. Having none of it, the current head of the family himself waded into the bloodbath that swept underground London to retrieve the sword himself. The sword was obtained and most of the crime families wiped out, but at the cost of the head of the Rics at the time. Born in 1900 in London to the Rics, Phillip was slated to be the next head of the family. Trained and indoctrinated at a young age, he quickly showed the ruthlessness and skill required of him. As the last heirs at the time of the Rics's acquirement of both the sword and spear (they had held the spear for years previously) both Rics and his sister were chosen, as the remaining heirs, to gain immortality, for they refused to have their line end at that point. Immortality allowed them to circumvent this, yet neither of the siblings could have children as a result, which fulfilled the prophecy in the end anyway. He was given the sword and his sister the spear for safekeeping. The two artifacts together were found to grant immortality to both their owners. Seeing as the sword and spear would be too cumbersome to constantly keep around, they consulted with remaining priests of the gods and found a way to leave the weapons in a great vault but still retain some aspect of the power they granted. This would be via a piece of metal of the weapon itself, moulded into a more modern form, example jewlery. With him it is an ear cuff, his sister has a different one (not sure on it yet). To test out the newfound immortality, both he and his sister were sent into the Great War, not as common foot soldiers but performing raid after raid and countless missions by night, never dying. Whispers of their deeds resonated and through this experience they tested the limits of immortality. Starving, dehydration, horrific injuries, none of it killed them. It went exactly as they had planned. In between wars and until 1950 he spent around Europe, expanding the name of Rics's influence. Through bloodshed and controlling crime families how he wished, their empire was maintained even after the death of the other members of the family. After WWII he left for the US, seeing as the political and military power in the world was shifting. He went where power was. Orchestrating many crimes to test his limits, soon had a stronghold over many major mobs. The name Rics could send shudders through them. He spends his time wandering the continent, never staying long in one city. At the moment he has just been making sure some of the mobs in Denver would still listen to him.


			Hans Jung Biography Current Name: Jack Young Jack was born to a poor family in German in 1394. There really wasn’t much chance for him to advance in life even though he was rather bright. All of that changed with a chance Nicholas Flamel where he greatly impressed him who apprenticed him as a student where Jack showed true talent for alchemy and became one of his favorite students and learned many of his secrets. However the darker gods felt Nicholas was going to powerful and starting to become a threat to their waning power. They set into motion events that would ultimately lead to the demise of both Flamel's and most of what they worked so hard to accomplish when the Flamels though they had discover the secret to the Elixir of Immortality. Jack barely survived the fall out and possesses many of the Flamel's journals and books on magic an Alchemy something that he has kept secret. Some of the servants of the Dark Gods made off with a few of the journals but Jack has most of them and has been slowly hunting down the other ones. Jack has been in hiding ever since brewing the elixir of life every month to stay young and virtually immortal. Jack keeps just how powerful he really is a secret with only a few people left alive that still know. To most he is just a nice fun loving guy with some still in alchemy if they know of such things and works very hard to blend in with the times. Every decade or so Jack likes to attend college again having found them to be a good way to blend in if he doesn't let himself stick out to much and he moves to different cities on roughly the same cycle. He is currently located in Denver where he runs a small bookshop after have graduated again at a college nearby.


			Amanda Mirandola Biography Amanda's father lived a dangerous life, both in terms of his occult research and his social and political relations. The one thing he wasn't willing to risk was his little girl, and with child mortality rates being what they were even for those whose fathers hadn't upset All the Wrong People, that meant...precautions for her health. The processes he used were too complex, belabored, and dangerous to the caster to bear repeating, but Amanda eventually learned the less problematic rites to maintain the effects for healthy, pleasant immortality, albeit with a few side effects. Amanda has spent that very long life in perfectly ladylike pursuits: reading, writing in her diaries, collecting beautiful things, and volunteer work. Sure, the beautiful things often have inscriptions that should only be read aloud within a magic circle, and the volunteer work includes breaking the occasional law and casting the occasional spell in order to save lives, but it's all perfectly ladylike. Papa would have been proud. She has been the Witch of Mirandola, the Witch of Leuven, the Witch of Solferino. Now, she is the Witch of Denver. Her small home is packed with her collections and books -- which are equally divided between those written by others and volume after volume of copperplate-scripted Italian.

Magic exists in the world, but it is much diminished since ancient days. Some people are naturally talented, others need to learn and need the aid of books and tomes.

These are the type of characters available to play:

Humans - Humans are exactly that. They live, they get older and they die. They come in many sizes, shapes and colors. Most people don't know there are immortals living in the world, but there are a few who do. These few who know about the existence of immortals are usually working for them in some fashion, but not necessary. This can be anything from minions who go out to run errands, household staff, close friends, etc.

Some humans can find out about the existence of immortals and objects of power through observation and research, or through rumor and myth. They can have many motives for wanting to finding these immortals or objects. Below is just a list of some possible motives. If you can create a new motive, great.

Knowledge about history.
Knowledge about immortality.
Desire for immortality.
Gather objects to acquire power.
Expose the existence of immortals.
Destroy immortals.
Study and experimentation on immortals.
Study objects of power.

Human Organizations:
Right now there are no organizations of humans in the game. They can be created if wanted.

Immortals - For some reason or another a human has acquired the gift/curse of immortality. The cannot die but ordinary means. They do not age, get sick or die. If they are wounded they heal quickly, even severed limbs will reattach themselves. Some immortals are thousands of years old and some are only a few decades.

Every immortal started out as a normal human but for some reason they found the secret to immortality. These reason vary from immortal to immortal, but no matter the reason each immortal keeps it a secret if they want to keep their immortality.

Immortals don't have a 'sense' telling them when other immortals are near. This isn't Highlander. One immortal can be sitting next to another one and neither knows the other is an immortal. There are no signs or traits that can allow a person to identify an immortal on sight.

All immortals don't know each other just like all humans don't know each other.

Immortals come in different sizes, ages and colors. They all have their own secrets and motives. Some motives are below and players are encourage to create more motives:

Destroy other immortals
Rule/subjugate humanity
Protect humanity
Remove immortality curse
Keep anyone from using powerful objects
Acquire power
Acquire wealth
Enjoy life

Such methods of becoming immortal are the following:
Cursed
Artifact
Elixir
Water from the Fountain of Youth
Spell
Other methods upon mod approval

Immortal Organizations:

The Custodes Thesauri, Custodians of the Treasure, or commonly called The Guardians, is a group of immortals dedicated to keeping magical and cursed items from being used and causing harm. The group started around 330BCE during Alexander’s conquest of the known world. Alexander had men seeking out relics and objects that would help him conquer the world. Raegar, the first Guardian, recruited Ymesit and a few others to help them keep Alexander from getting a hold of objects that would help him in his quest.

Raegar and Ymesit managed to keep a few items from Alexander and would hide them away. They made it their mission to keep powerful artifacts and cursed items away from men who would use them for conquest or harm. Raegar and Ymesit found an anciet text describing the secret to immortality. The two used it to make themselves immortal so they could always watch over the growing collection of magical and cursed objects.

Over the centuries they would add a few more members to help them collect and store artifacts. They would seek out new members and would recruit those who had some mutation or ability that would grant them immortality or an extended lifespan. Each guardian has hired numerous mortals who are their eyes and ears around the world. When news of an artifact or object comes to one of them, they inform the local guardian.

The only member of the Guardians in the game so far is Akantha.

Not available for play, but exist in the world:

Gods: The gods from the different mythologies exist and for the most part have very little power due to the lack of many worshipers. There are still some humans who worship the old gods, but there are not enough to give the gods the powers they once had.

Some gods have come to Earth to move among the mortals and have taken up positions that will get them the love they seek. Some are posing as rock stars, fashion models, sports stars, etc.

Ones I haven't decided on:
Vampires
