[Harry Baldman]

Done!

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Justus Phelgunth

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Description: a tall (about 1 meter and 85 centimeters in height), rather fat, broad-shouldered man with a sizable, bushy mustache on his upper lip and equally bushy sideburns, his hair cut quite short, revealing a somewhat scarred scalp. He is hardly the most handsome man you might have ever seen, but there is something about him that most can't place, and yet it makes one uneasy to consider what it might be. It is his stare, most likely, and his large, off-white teeth that glimmer whenever he grins at people, which he does quite often. He is dressed after the fashion of a commoner, though it seems like he does not entirely belong in the outfit he wears in both the physical and mental sense. Most of all, what makes one take a step back when they see Justus is the impression of hunger that one gets from him. What exactly he hungers for is difficult to say, but it is easy to guess that it is probably nothing good. He has a booming, commanding voice, and a laugh one can describe only as primal, frightening in its genuine, unbridled emotion.

Starting Port: Aetharbor

Background: You might ask why Justus has chosen to come to Aetharbor - the truth is, he has not. He was carried here by the shredding, merciless winds of adventure, glory and finance, riding into the city on the first ship that would take him from his home in the deep south of Kurchil. Justus, like most adventurers, was driven here by the desire for something he did not have - the freedom to indulge. Justus' overriding desire in life can be described as wishing to have more than his share, a volatile mixture of greed and gluttony that pushes him to lengths that most mortals would fear to reach for. His aim in life is to attain power, and then utilize this power to reach ever greater heights of personal enjoyment. He wishes to have it all and to enjoy it all before his inevitable death. And so he has arrived, ready to achieve prestige and power on the long road to personal satisfaction.

Trinket: a spork of conventional, durable make and little ornamentation, Justus carries this trinket like a talisman, hung on a chain around his neck. It is not special in any conventional way, but Justus sees the spork as a companion of his, a trusted aide in his exploration of the world and its various treasures.

After you've selected either you or I should name your magic, I don't care which.

[Patrick Hunt]

I'll take option 3, it's the closest fit to what I wanted as Cadus blessing.

[Powder Miner]

I'll take option number three, and name it... Magic of the Farsoul.

[SomeStupidGuy]

I suppose I'll go for two, seeing as it seems to be the most fitting one. And you can name it. I'm terrible with naming things.

[Samarkand]

I've got the intro pretty much written as soon as the other two choose their magics.

I'll take option 3, it's the closest fit to what I wanted as Cadus blessing.

I named this Cadus' blessing. Also, you have a negative feat from being an insomniac, but it's not too bad. Just don't use magic after the first two turns of any day andit won't effect you at all.

I suppose I'll go for two, seeing as it seems to be the most fitting one. And you can name it. I'm terrible with naming things.

I named it The Natural Academy. If you don't like that I'll keep rummaging around my brain for a new name.

[Patrick Hunt]

Lol thats kinda bad, 2/3 of the day I can't use magic. What am I meant to do lol ask the enemy to come back in the morning?

[Samarkand]

Lol thats kinda bad, 2/3 of the day I can't use magic. What am I meant to do lol ask the enemy to come back in the morning?

Here's what it is
Insomniac Mage – If magic is used after noon, 33% chance to fail to be rested after sleep

[Patrick Hunt]

Yeah thats gonna be an issue, luckily as an enchanting mage I can probably work an enchant to get around it.

In fact I already have 1 in mind I remember from my warhammer research.

[Samarkand]

The other thing you could do is just enchant stuff in the mornings and use it constantly. Not like enchanting is usually time sensitive.

[Patrick Hunt]

The enchant will counter the insomnia incase I need to use magic after noon.

[SomeStupidGuy]

Ah, yeah. Nature's Academy sounds good.
Certainly better than anything I could come up with.

[wolfchild]

I like all those magics, none of them directly fit her, but none are against so that's cool. I think option one though, 3: She is not really that humble, and 2: she has not been to a monastery or temple, so one it is. I love how it's passionate people, but they meditate to use it.

It is named: Will of the Heart

[Silcugar]

Hm, I like all these options. They're all fitting, to an extent.

The second option seems like the most powerful, but doesn't fit as well as the others. Three seems like it would be used by desert nomads, especially the raiding type. However, number one piques my interest. Enlightenment is Kassen's main dealio, or at least it will be. Also, the fact that it uses blood and ancestors compliments the type of religion I was thinking of. But I gotta say, astral projection and counter magic seems like the weakest type of the three.

Could I possibly be without magic in the beginning? I plan to seek out someone who practices the enlightenment magic, and learn from them. Or, if that isn't acceptable, I'll go with three. One shall be called Ancestor's Protection while three shall be called Rellec-Ro.
