Forgotten beast who happens to be shaped like a gnome. Made of pumice.

Forgotten beasts shape, and stuff will be discussed later. You'll see why.

[Rhyme]

So you are a forgotten beast, the child of a Titan. Who is your father/mother?

Gaia

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gaia was the first of the titans, and she was the one to create the first life. Some of her first attemps where the Forces of Nature. Called so because of their connection with primeval energy. They ressemble giant humanoids made of ice, rocks, molten magma or something similar. They have a deep connection with primeval magic that makes them almost immune to arcane magic, but also prevents them from using it.

Lorggi

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lorggi was a titan of fire and change, but he saved himself from the young gods by accepting to renounce to most of his powers, becoming a trickster god. Those of his children that were casted to the underground are powerful beasts, resembling giant versions of predators, such as wolves, lions or snakes, but with some exotic features, like glowing eyes or metal coating. They have lost stheir ability to cast divine magic, but they are able to cast arcane magic, as Lorggi, feeling curiosity for the mortals' magic, decided to inculcate the mortal's knowledge on his children.

Ymir

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ymir was a giant titan, father of many creatures. His children usually resemble humanoids, but they have an obvious connection with ice and cold (like a woman made of ice). His children retain a natural ability to cast divine magic related to ice and cold, and have natural control over creatures who have share the blood of their father.

Apeb

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apeb, the Marauder, was a titan of death and decay. His children were undead abominations, born from the body parts of multiple creatures and infused with unholy unlife. They have some control over nearby undead, and do have some control over divine magic that allows them to use necromancy, but the primeval energy of life is an anathema for them.

Lotha

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A titan of fertility, she was warped when the titan Apeb resisted her seduction, and became a goddess of revenge. She had numerous children with various monsters and titans, and those children usually take the form of giant spiders, snakes or other small creatures in a form of giant proportions, usually made of exotic materials such as rocks or metals. The only natural magical ability they have is that they can create avatars without the preparations and energy other forgotten beasts would need. These avatars would be living beings, infused with some of the powers of the beast. And they don't have to willingly accept being an avatar.

Of course some may ask here: What's the difference between the three kinds of magic named here?
Primeval magic is powerful, but chaotic. Not even Gaia can use it without something going at least a bit out of control.
Divine magic is less powerful, but not that chaotic, and when you've had time to master it, it's mostly predictable. Gods use this, and their field of expertise is what gives them their titles (love gods are experts on magic used to seduce, fertility gods are adepts at creating life with divine magic and so on). It uses a lot of energy from the caster, and that's why the gods need to exert influence over mortals, their sacrificies and whorsipping gives them energy.
Arcane magic is far less powerful than divine magic at first, but it's the less chaotic magic, almost a science, and it's learning it's simple if you have a soul prepared to use it. In fact Arcane magic is so easy to master compared to the other two, that some archamages have been dangerous even to the gods.

Some creatures have natural abilities regarding the different kinds of magic based on their origin and nature.

So you are one of Gaia's children. By default your body is made of rocks and your powers are just a natural control over the basics of primeval magic. But don't worry, that can change.

You must choose your attributes.
The 8 attributes are Strenght, Dextery, Resistance, Intelligence, Wisdom, Willpower, Perception and Charisma. You must choose an order, from best to worst, for them.

After that you have 30 points to spend in differen abilities.

Magic: You have a limited control over the basics of primeval magic. Primeval magic is divided in several groups, depending on which aspect of reality they change. These groups are:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Creation: This is the power of creating things from nothing. At its lowest levels it can simply create small, simple objects, and its highest level, this is the power that Gaia herself used to create life.

Destruction: The complete opposite of creation, this is the power of bringing what is to nothing, from small energy beams able to kill small animals to the creation of black holes that erase everything from existance in several miles.

Transmutation: The power of changing what already is. The transformation of a given material into a different one or the ability to move objects using telekinesis are part of this path of primeval magic.

Control: From the crude ability of moving living beings with one's thought to the refined art of manipulating someone's emotions and senses, this path allows for control over the mortals.

Animism: The control of souls and manipulation of the supernatural. From being able to see spirits and ghost, to the principles of what evolved to be known as necromancy, this path allows its masters to warp the very nature of souls for their own benefit.

Healing: A self explanatory path, everything related to healing, from minor wounds to the full resurrection of the dead (although, given the chaotic nature of primeval magic, you might not want to try this).

Elementalism: The control over the four classic elements, wind, fire, water and earth, and their by-products such as ice, lightning and magma. You can try to master all four of them or focus on a given one.

Illusionism: The art of disguise and deception, of showing what is not there.

You can spend points into magic. Each point must be spent on one of the paths above. You start an extra 10 points ONLY for spending on these paths because of your natural connection with primeval magic.

Knowledge of the Occult: Points spent on this skill give you knowledge of creatures, rituals and gods.
Unnarmed Combat: How well you can use your body in combat.
Armed combat: How well you can use weapons in combat.
Persuasion: How good are you at persuading others.
Intimidation: How frightening you can be.
Academic skills: Engineering, medicine, chemistry, alchemy and so on. You must spend the points for each one of these separately (so you can have 3 points on medicine, 4 on alchemy and none on the others, for example).
Athletcism: How good you are at running, climbing, jumping...
Noticing: Can you notice things?

After this, we'll go for special features.

[Harry Baldman]

Attribute Order: Charisma, Perception, Intelligence, Resistance, Willpower, Wisdom, Strength, Dexterity.

[Eotyrannus]

Charisma Intelligence Strength Resistance Dexterity Willpower Perception Wisdom

Creation: 3
Destruction: 5
Transmutation: 3
Animism: 3
Elementalism: Wind/Fire, by extension explosions (as well as magma, lightning and whatever) 6

Academic skills: Chemistry 5, Physics 3
Persuasion: 3

This is all we need to be a master of making stuff explode from sheer rule of cool. Wisdom should be low, because it will allow us to ignore common sense and focus on what matters (namely, being awesome).

[Chink]

Attribute Order: Strength, Resistance, Charisma, Intelligence, Willpower, Dexterity, Perception, Wisdom
Skills:
Creation: 2
Destruction: 5
Transmutation: 4
Healing: 10
Illusionism: 4
Elementalism: 6

Unarmed Combat: 4
Athleticism: 5

It seems reaching consensus is going to be difficult. Also, remember that just because wisdom is your lowest stat it doesn't mean you are stupid. You were gods, so your base stats are high, and even your lowest stat would be far higher than those of a normal human.

And for those that would have liked some other kind of character, don't worry, when this character dies (because it seems you really want it to die by blowing up stuff), we'll switch to some other, although I would like characters to have long lives.
