Artifacts: A suggestion game
« on: May 25, 2014, 07:47:21 am »

Welcome, to my more or less first ever suggestion game. In this game, you play the role of an Artifact, an object of great power which runs on the life essence of humans. You must trick humans into giving you life essence in exchange for your powers, and advance whatever agendas you may have. Be careful though, as the government wants artifacts as well, but won't be as easy to trick  and if your holder uses you too often, the government will notice.
Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

Character Sheet
Name: Your name. No surnames.
Title: Any titles you may have.
Powers: Any abilities you may have, magical or otherwise.
Legends: Legends about you.
Appearance: What are you, what do you look like.
Uses: Mundane things you can be used for.
Location: Starting location.
Alignment: Good, evil, etc. Determines what kind of people will seek you out.

Anything I need to add or have missed?

Name: Wonderthought
Title: the Ring of Genius
Powers: primary power is to provide bright ideas for new inventions, works of art and courses of action that may change the world. Secondary power is to provide epic narration in a gravelly voice while all of this unfolds. Tertiary power is to age the current user at double the usual rate to cover expenses.
Legends: they say that Wonderthought was forged from dreams of long-dead civilizations in the workshop of the gods, or that it has somehow always existed, even before the gods themselves emerged from chaos, or that it was made by the wisest of men in the most distant past to take advantage of the most foolish of men. It has been speculated that Wonderthought has had a hand in much of civilization's achievements, though such things remain completely unproven, and Wonderthought itself cannot comment on the veracity of any rumors.
Appearance: a plain uranium ring of respectable width and no ornamentation.
Uses: having clever ideas and inspiration.
Location: on a bench in a public park in the midst of Central Africa.
Alignment: Neutral! Wonderthought cares not for alignment, and has inspired many modern thinkers to do the same.

Name: Svíkja
Title: Hreidmars Doom
Powers: Able to create pure Gold, The Wearer will also be slowly cursed with a decadent mindset
Legends: The Otters Ransom - Originally a keepsake of dwarf Andvari, it was forcefully taken with all the dwarfs gold by Loki, who used it to pay a ransom for imprisoned Honir and Odin. Andvari was outraged at the deed, and layed a curse on his stolen wealth in front of the robber.
Appearance: A small, twisted ring - wrought from Gold
Uses: It will fit itself snuggly on any finger it is placed upon, Seeing it will spark greed inside of onlookers
Location: Uncovered in the ruins of olde norse capital Haithabu
Alignment: Neutral - Svíkjas power comes at a price, and she will not assume responsibility for the deeds of her owners


For what it is worth, I actually used a ring from an existing legend, and even kept the spirit of the myth. And hey, it is a dwarven ring ;3

Too many the one ring vibes not to go with this.

((In fact, given Tokein and the Norse, it may even be the actual inspiration/))

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.
