The Nightborn

   The Immaculate Era was a time of prosperity for the civilized races. Those cruel tribes which had once dominated the earth, the orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their kin, had been beaten back. Man, elf, and dwarf reclaimed the land, spreading their civilization far and wide. Nature itself was tamed, and her bounty was yielded to her masters. But this time was not to last. While the civilized races rejoiced the coming of the new year, the 483rd of the Immaculate Era, the number of dark creatures was blossoming. For years old haunts had been quietly reclaimed, their new occupants taking care to remain hidden. Only isolated fighting occurred, mostly between zealous heroes and careless monsters. But this year would mark the end of their silence. Their numbers were too great and their hunger too strong, and this would be looked back on not as the 483rd year of the Immaculate Era, but as the first of the Nightborn Era.

Spoiler: Gameplay (click to show/hide)

Character Creation
   You will start by creating or choosing a race. After that you will roll for numeric stats according to the racial stat ranges and make any creation point purchases for your character. Six characters will be accepted, and this will be done based off of creativity in the character creation. This does not mean you have to create a new race, if one of the existing ones calls to you, but individuals who create compelling races may be given priority. Races of characters which are not accepted may or may not be included at my discretion.

Setting Out
   After the six have been accepted you will be given time to discuss amongst yourselves, IC, which of the available monstrous lairs you want to go to. If none of the three are suited to the type of game you want to play (ex. your character requires access to the ocean) I will generate a new lair to fit your needs. If you request a new lair, however, you are obligated to go to that lair, regardless of how defended the town might be or how poorly the other inhabitants might match your character.
   You do not all have to go to the same location, though having other players present may allow for more active roleplaying, as well as more cooperation than can be found for some NPCs. I would suggest 2-3 people going to each location. After the game has been going on for some time I may add more people, as my time allows, and these players may be sent to locations that need more players.

After You’ve Arrived
   The majority of the game will consist of living out the life of a malicious creature in a community of other malicious creatures. There will be conflict between yourself and other monsters, as well as with the local authorities. You may be given tasks by higher up monsters, or vie for power with them.
Turns will span the course of in-game day. You may submit any action which you estimate your character could carry out within a day. I’ll then assign it a difficulty rating for your character, and roll for the result. This difficulty rating and roll will be displayed in most cases, but may be hidden if it has the potential to reveal too much (i.e. if you search somebodies house for jewelry I won’t tell you what the roll was, because that would tell you if there was jewelry present). Complex situations may require multiple rolls, which will all be done when the turn is rolled. Conversations and any minor actions taken before committing to a day-long action will be carried out in between turn posts.
   The two main sources of character progression will come from the development of new skills and the possession of new items. Skills will develop after a character has spent an extended period of time practicing the skill, either in real situations (i.e. combat or casting spells) or through practice (i.e. sparring or reading about spells). This practice will then open up a task which the character must complete in order to gain the skill. Possessions consist both of what your character has on them, which can substantially affect both perceptions of the character and their odds of success in some situations, and their lair, whose contents affect perceptions of them and can affect the skills they can develop as well as how fit they are for the day.
   It will be important to provide for the needs of your character as well, such as what they need to eat or drink. It is unlikely I will kill characters off because of lack of food, but it may inhibit their ability to accomplish anything else.

Spoiler: Race Creation (click to show/hide)

You have 3 points with which to construct your race. Below this there is a list of preexisting races, which may help you understand each category.

Name
What is the race called. This doesn’t impact much, but don’t put something lame like Fred.

Size
From the below table. This will affect your ability in combat, as size and strength are intimately related, as well as affect how some others perceive you. Your size will be mostly immutable unless you take a trait which allows your size to change.

Size	Cost	Height*	Weight
Tiny	+1	6 in. – 2 ft	<1 lb – 8 lb
Small	0	2 ft – 4 ft	10 lb – 60 lb
Medium	-1	4 ft – 6 ft	80 lb – 200 lb
Large	-2	6 ft – 8 ft	180 lb – 360 lb
Massive	-3	10 ft – 12 ft	300 lb – 600 lb
Gigantic	-4	15 ft – 20 ft	800 lb – 1200 lb

*These heights apply to humanoid monsters of roughly human build. Height ranges can be adjusted for races which do not fit this description.

Presence
A monster’s defines how it is perceived by others. This effects both what sorts of civilized creatures are affected by you, and how they will respond to you. It is also the case that if a nightborn does not have an aesthetic value towards your presence, they will be less inclined to like and help you.

Presence	Cost	Description
None	+1	Monsters of this class don't appear monstrous at all, and are relatively well tolerated. However, they're also less frightening.
Undead	0	Undead are creatures which once died, but have returned to ambling around and causing trouble. They are particularly disliked by dwarves,  who are relatively superstitious, but are susceptible to the wrath of holy men.
Fearsome	0	These monsters have an appearance that brings fear to the heart of men, but also serve as a kind of trophy to them and so can bring glory-seeking warriors.
Grotesque	0	These monsters are truly disgusting, and quickly offend delicate elven sensibilities. Frequently, mages are brought in to root out these monstrosities.
Eldritch	-1	Feared by all, civilized and nightborn, eldritch beings are unclear on the concepts of friend and foe, and are incredibly difficult to kill.

Aesthetics
Aesthetics affect which creatures you will perceive positively, and what sorts of items you have access to. For example, kobolds have a fearsome aesthetic, even though they don’t have a fearsome presence, and so they are comfortable decorating themselves and their home with the bones of fallen enemies, as well as interacting with orcs and trolls. You automatically have the aesthetic of your presence, and you can purchase additional aesthetics for 1 point each. An individual character may learn to tolerate new aesthetics, but unless they have a racial preference for them they will never feel completely comfortable around them. The eldritch aesthetic is reserved for eldritch beings, and cannot be purchased; additionally eldritch beings are confined to this aesthetic and cannot purchase any others.

Form
A nightborn can either be corporeal or incorporeal. Being incorporeal means being unable to directly interact with the physical world, which may be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the situation.

Traits
   Traits are additional descriptors of the race, and include racial abilities or tendencies towards certain activities.  They can be positive or negative; positive traits cost one point while negative traits give one point. Examples can be seen in the existing races. This is a great place to get creative with your race. I will let you know if a trait seems too overpowered and give you time to change it.

Description
   This is a complete description of your race, and should include information stated earlier in the sheet. Think of it as the brief blurb that would be found in a bestiary. This is another place to be creative.

[b]Description[/b]:

Spoiler: Existing Races (click to show/hide)

Size: Small (2-4 ft, 20-60 lb)
Presence: None
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Fearsome
Traits
Mobbing – Often fight in groups to overwhelm larger enemies
Social (Subservient) – Liked by more powerful creatures, often tasked with small jobs
Social (Humans) – Tolerated by humans
Description: Kobolds are small lizard-like humanoids. Their scaled skin, long snouts, slight frames and muscular tails give them the appearance of a lizard which just recently learned to stand on its hind legs. They are valued by more powerful creatures, and tolerated by humans, as versatile servants and generally helpful creatures. They are by no means passive, however, and are very dangerous in groups.

Size: Large (6-8 ft, 180-360 lb)
Presence: Fearsome
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Fearsome
Traits
Crafting Aptitude – Orcs are naturally predisposed towards the making of new things, especially from metals.
Description: Standing a head or more higher than even the mightiest of humans, greenskinned orcs are known amongst the civilized races for being fearsome foes in battle. Despite this, their reputation amongst the nightborn is as craftsmen, not only for their superior metalwork but for work with leather, bone, and whatever else is available.

Size: Medium (4-6 ft, 80-200 lb)
Presence: Fearsome
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Fearsome
Traits
Regeneration – Heals quickly if its wounds are not cauterized in some way
Shamanic Aptitude – Trolls are naturally predisposed towards shamanic magic, and can access spirits through rituals and trances
Description: Trolls are very similar in size to humans, but possess a significantly more apish frame. Their arms hang long down by their sides, and they have a pronounced hunch to their posture. What they lack in poise they make up for in their ability to regenerate any damage done to them very quickly. They build their culture around shamanic magic, and lone trolls often serve as spiritual guides for the communities they find themselves in.

Size: Massive (8-10 ft, 300-600 lb)
Presence: Fearsome
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Fearsome
Traits
Mute – Spiders cannot communicate directly with others
Web Spinning – Giant spiders are capable of producing massive webs
Description: These massive spiders are feared by friend and foe alike, not the least because they can’t articulate the promise not to devour a friend.

Size: Medium (3-5 ft, 80-200 lb)
Presence: Grotesque
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Grotesque
Traits
Absorbs Fallen – Devouring slimes can absorb the bodies of its victims into its own mass
Can Grow – Devouring slimes can grow into large weight classes through absorbing victims
Description: Devouring slimes are little more than piles of devoured body parts held together by a gelatinous goo. They seem to take a kind of pride in the creatures they have absorbed, and display pieces of their victims towards the outside of their mass. They also have a disturbing tendency to sprout decaying skulls when required to speak.

Size: Medium (4-6 ft)
Presence: Eldritch
Form: Incorporeal
Aesthetics: Eldritch
Traits
Corrupt Minds – Horrors can drive their victims insane by manipulating their minds
Devour Souls – Horrors can devour the souls of their victims
Can Grow – As the horror grows in influence it also grows in size
Obey Rule (Only Dark Souls) – The horror can only attack the minds of those who it knows have committed some act which has darkened their souls
Aversion to Light – The horror must avoid sunlight, and is weakened by magical lights
Description: Horrors are exactly that: horrific. It is impossible to say the precise form one will take as it torments its victim, but it is never pleasant. They torment the souls of those worthy of torment before consuming them entirely.

Size: Medium (4-6 ft)
Presence: Undead
Form: Incorporeal
Aesthetics: Undead
Traits
Telekinetic – The ghost can manipulate physical  objects despite its incorporeal nature
Possession – The ghost can temporarily take control of a victim with a weak enough will
Description: The souls of the fallen may, at times, continue to roam the land. It is not clear what leads to this phenomenon, but it is clear that any semblance of human kindness is lost in the process. Ghosts can be quite malicious, going so far as to take over living bodies to suite their own purposes.

Spoiler: Character Creation (click to show/hide)

Name
Pretty self-explanatory. Again, please not Fred.

Race
Again, awfully self-explanatory.

Height
Rolled from the range available for that race. Divide the range up into 20 pieces, and roll a d20, rounding to the nearest integer. If you roll a 1 or a 20 you can roll another d20 to confirm the critical. If you roll a 1 followed by a 20, you are 20% smaller than the lowest value in the range. If you roll a 20 followed by a 20 you are 20% larger than the highest value in the range.

Weight
Your weight should be proportionate to your rolled height, within your race’s specifications. If you need help calculating this let me know.

Description
Be creative here. Can include physical description and personality. Keep backstory relevant to the epochs in the introduction.

Skills
You have 5 points to spend on starting skills and equipment. Each skill should be a fairly basic skill, and will cost 1 point.

Inventory
Starting items should similarly be fairly simple, and can include food, weapons, trade goods, or anything else you want. Everything basic costs 1 point. Bear in mind, you may be required to sacrifice something upon arrival in exchange for a good lair. However, there is guaranteed to be lairs which you can occupy without sacrifice.

There will be a slew of other celestial events, which will have varying effects of the state of things. Communities which do not keep track of these events may be caught unawares.

Spoiler: Settlement Locations (click to show/hide)

Rinsala
This small nightborn commune consists nearly entirely of trolls. They live in a loose collection of small, rocky caves.

Nearby is the human hamlet of Pawic. This settlement is diverse in its population, and contains a variety of the so-called civilized races. It sits high on an outcrop of rock, and is accessible only by a single road. It is governed by a male sorcerer named Orils

Bulurtz
In a deep cave, orcs live with a variety of other nightborn. They are organized around a stature to Ciew, god of honor. The vicious orc boss Obash’gor rules over Bulurtz.

Connected by many of the labyrinthine tunnels is the dwarven outpost of Khuramaz. The dwarves barely outnumber the orcs 2 to 1, though a variety of other races are present as well. It is governed by the male dwarf Kani Gefreson, and is also home to the legendary rogue Dainarv.

Golagd
Once a great outpost, the ruins of Golagd now house a small tribe of kobolds led by the mad shaman Golug. The only original building still standing is a massive tower, currently occupied by the infamous human warlock Apul the Sadist.

Within sight of this terrible tower is the elven settlement of Pene. The elves are led by their local priesthood, devoted to Hybenar. Only a few outsiders are welcomed here.

Name:Ak' Baldur, Lord of Laments
Race: Lesser terror
Height:6ft
Weight:-
Description: almost translucent when there is sufficient light, Ak'Badur is a tall, armless figure, unnaturally thin when not looking for prey, with a head whose only feature is a huge mouth full of teeth, with the extension of the whole width of the head. A twisted, serpent-like tongue lies there, slithering occasionally. The Lord of Laments changes his voice every a couple seconds when it speaks. Upon manifesting offensively, its body begins to twist and swell, faces, screaming faces manifesting from it, giving the image of them trying to penetrate its skin and get out of it. Its face begins to change quickly, different combinations of facial features forming and being transformed every few instants, and its teethy mouth opens, revealing what would be a normal mouth, one that changes much like the rest of the facial features. Ak' Baldur continues with this routine until the face being shown resembles that of a person known to its victim, one which touches emotionally the target and makes it grief with the moaning emitted from the Lord of Laments. That moment of weakness is when the victim's soul is swallowed, and its face and many features join the repertoire of grim images Ak' Baldur has at its disposal. Those whose faces have been stolen are altered, and raised again as hollow carcasses,  following the Lord of Laments as walking hunting prizes, and as a frightening retinue, sometimes doing menial tasks that their ethereal master can't normally perform. It may be possible, though, that this being derives some sort of perverse satisfaction from deforming and erasing the identities of those it has claimed as its own.
Skills
Flesh-warping: the ability to alter the bodies of flesh and bone beings, only upon their consent (or lack of will of their own).
Mental Whispers: to slowy drive insane its victims.
Hiding
Minor necromancy
Scaring
Inventory: None

Is this good? I don't know if incorporeal beings can have an inventory or not.

EDIT: corrected little things.

EDIT2: added more little things.

Yeah, the thing is Eldritch isn't quite a race, it's more like a type of race. If you mean for it to be one of the Lesser Horrors (the preexisting eldritch race) that's fine. All of your skills fit. You can have an inventory only if you have some way of keeping objects with you, which your character currently doesn't. As for Necromancy, lets just cal it Minor Necromancy and you'll get your little deformed zombies.

Name:Bloodless
Size:Medium -1
Presence:Undead
Form:Corporeal
Aesthetics:Undead, None +1 -1
Traits:
No natural regeneration: Their inability to feed makes it so that it takes magic to repair damage taken. +1
No pain, No pain: While some physical strikes to their torso and limbs might debilitate a Bloodless, it takes more damage to do so as they do not feel it.  A bloodless must be killed by tremendous brain trauma or magic. -2
Light weapon affinity: While sentient Bloodless are few and far between and technically have no culture, those that serve vampires appear to have preference for light weapons, and many sentients follow suit, taking advantage of their own relative lightness to move even faster.  Faster movement with light weapons. -1
Description:While technically a race of Vampires, Bloodless were unable to acquire the blood of their sire Vampire, rendering them incapable of feeding for sustenance or possessing most of a Vampire's standard skill set and weaknesses.  Most of these poor souls are brain-dead, incapable of thought, and mindlessly serve their sire Vampire until their deaths at the end of some holy man's weapon.  Those that are sentient are the result of tremendous willpower and a rejection of their death.  Their creation often ends in the death of their sire, who they often slaughter in a rage or poison to death.  Visually, those that take care of themselves, and make a point to remove their excess skin, are nigh skeletal versions of themselves from before their conversion.  Their compatibility with sunlight and relatively normal appearance allows them to sometimes serve as messengers for their masters

Name: Bloodvine
Size: Large - 6 ft – 8 ft, 180 lb – 360 lb
Presence: Grotesque
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: Grotesque

Traits
Plant Creatures: Bloodvines are more suspectible to fire than creatures of flesh and blood
Carnivorous Diet: Bloodvines will wilt if only served water and glow of the moons
Vampiric Growth: Bloodvines grow in intellect if they devour a creature with greater intelligence than their own
Plantshapers: Bloodvines boast an innate druidic ability, albeit their variant is quite warped if compared to the elven arts
Reaching Vines: Bloodvines have a multitude of thorny vines, four of them strong and agile enough to be considered prehensile


Description:
A tainted kind of plant-spirit of unkown origin, bloodvines have a roughly humanoid shape, augmented with a number of vines, some of which they can use nimbly. Their favoured way to sate their taste for the living, is by laying a trap in an artificially grown groves. With most of their realms far-off or on the farther outskirts of civilization, most of them make do with wildlife.
While nocturnal in nature, they are not particulary bound to the dark hours, safe for their occasional need for Itthers glow. While a good deal of their cultural rites circle around said moon, it is most important for their reproduction - bloodvines only able to bloom when Itther is at its fullest.

Race: Bloodvine
Height: 7.1 ft

Description:
Before you stands a lanky bloodvine, her body partially covered in grey lichens, and possibly a red hibiscus flower should she currently be in bloom.

Like many of her kin during the Immaculate Era, Thornwhip has spent most of her life hunting beyond the outskirts of civilization. Hailing from a somewhat inhospitable area, scant with plantlife safe for sources of water, has led her to stalk and drive her prey, her success furthered by the occasional illusion. She also has developed a knack for plantlife - even by the standards of her own kind - and has taken to dabbling in natural alchemy.

Thornwhip prefers to rest and hunt in wooded areas, likes ravens for their intelligence and taste, and - after getting lucky enough to bag one - has an active craving for human flesh.

It looks like you spent an extra point, but I really like it. I'd recommend changing the plant creature to just be fire vulnerability. Your size and thorns should give you a fairly large advantage in combat without any special trait related to resisting physical attacks.

The Harbingers are walking suits of armor, beings of great strength forged by a Magi of great power, to hunt down those he saw fit. When the master died, the Harbingers were set free. As a result, many went mad, those who stayed sane killing just for the state of mind. The metal is a dark color, usually, and the suit is hollow. Those who work magic can sense a dark presence within. The Harbingers can hide themselves quite well with a cloak, though they always make a slight clanking and creaking noise when moving.

Zap: Wisps can fire a bolt of electricity at-will.
Dense: Despite being a ball of light, wisps are extremely resilient to even magical damage.
Description: Wisps are a type of ghost that forms when a being of high-willpower (such as a mage) dies. They are much less malicious than their ghostly brethren and retain their personality and memories from life. They look like small balls of light, which change color based on emotions and personality.

Name: Pacem
Race: Wisp (formerly an elf)
Height: A sphere .4 in. in diameter (rolled a one and twenty)
Weight: 20 lbs. (dense)
Description: Pacem was an elven mage/diplomat that was sent to a dwarven settlement (Khuramaz). He hated the abundant racism there and sought to change it. He was executed by paladins for supporting the Nightborn, but he still seeks to grant equal rights to all races, even the darker ones. He looks like a ball of light, and is normally blue. He is currently researching how to artificially create a sentient or sapient being that can be used as food by the Nightborn.
Prejudices:
He does not care about the race of his companions.

You seem to have -1 points let, Ama.

Yeah, you have massive and 1 net positive skill leading to four points spent, so you need to reduce that by one.

BTW, I will happily roll for the height and weight of characters if you'd like.

I may not get in at all, but I'll get points for creativity, dammit.

Race: Gleetch
Size: Tiny (+1)
Presence: None (+1)
Form: Corporeal
Aesthetics: None

Traits:
Fair Flying A Gleetch is capable of levitation and flight through their wings, though they are limited in that they can never completely leave the the sight of the great green Earth, from which they draw their strength.
Slipping Through A Gleetch can physically slip through even the tiniest crack, or chink in stone-even a keyhole. They can slip any mundane bond or shackle-they do this by being able to contort their bodies, even into a flat, two-dimensional shape.
Becoming One with Shadow A Gleetch can fade into natural darkness, to become nearly completely invisible. They are very stealthy and hard to find if they don't want to be.
Plucking the Strings of Fate A Gleetch's most powerful ability is their manipulating of chaos and order-they can concentrate on either a person, an object, or even a situation-and turn good luck to bad, or more rarely vice versa. They don't exactly control how this happens, and it never works entirely reliably.
Social (Elves) – Gleetch are tolerated by some more hardened elves because they are natural spies and inherent tricksters-when an Elf wants a job done, and doesn't care about collateral damage, they may summon or bind a Gleetch to their service.
Face Alchemy (Mimic) A Gleetch has some inherent alchemical techniques they can use to take the form of any medium or smaller creature for up to 24 hours through the use of mystic potions. To do this, they must gather the humors of the creature they intend to mimic-blood, phlegm, and bile. They must brew the potion a full night under a full moon. Taking a form guarantees a perfect physical replica, and they retain all their abilities-but they do not have the creatures thoughts or feelings, and can be detected through cleverness. In addition, while they may outwardly become larger, their strength does not fully increase proportionally. They can share these potions with others (even unwillingly, of course), but the effects are somewhat random on non-Gleetch...
Face Alchemy (Twist) – Gleetch have a final utility through alchemy-the ability to enhance or ruin physical beauty. They can do this to themselves, or others, to enhance or ruin the physically attractive qualities of any species. This is not magic, in and of itself-or at least it's very mundane magic. To do so, they must gather four emotional humors from four different mortal souls-sadness, happiness, anger, and fear-and brew the potion for a full night under a waxing moon or waning moon (Waxing moon produces ugliness, Waning moon beauty). Such an enchantment is useful, but fragile-if the mortals who the emotions were gathered from change unduly, the magic begins to fade. If any of them die, the enchantment fades completely. Otherwise, the changes are near permanent and quite stark.

Cold Iron is Pain Gleetch's are vulnerable to combinations of certain rare metals mined deep underground. Collectively this 'Cold Iron' alloy is a bane to them-for example, they can't pass through walls made of it, cold iron chains keep them from flying and exposes their disguises, and cold iron armor is proof against their luck turning abilities.
Never, never lie A Gleetch can never really tell a direct lie, nor break an oath once fairly given. This doesn't mean they can't answer evasively, use clever wordplay, or just choose not to answer-or trick one into breaking their word, voiding the oath. If they ever tell a deliberate lie or break an oath of their own free will, however, the Faerie Queen brings them back to the Unseelie court for...punishment. It's said the Faerie Queen gives each misbehaving Gleetch ten words and ten seconds, however, to prove their innocence, before she takes them away...

Spoiler: Name: Havoc (click to show/hide)

Race: Gleetch

Height
8.4 Inches

Weight
3 pds

Description
Havoc is a small, unassuming sprite of the fey, hardly more than handspan high-she has two gossamer butterfly wings on her back, with a black yellow pattern reminiscent of a wasp. She had healthy earthtone skin, silky flaxen green hair, and eyes that are uncomfortable to look into-like lanterns, they seem to be merely dark green lights in her head, with no sclera. She looks very pretty, for her size.

She's a servant of the Seelie (compared to the Unseelie-they are still evil/less evil fey), a follower of Summer Court-given a thousand years of freedom on the mortal world for a particularly good compliment on the Faerie Queen's dress. She's not quite sure what to do with it, yet. Havoc has never been to the mortal world, and probably wouldn't have been-but in the Nightborn Era, many doors to many worlds were weakened, and beings like her slipped through the cracks...she does have some mischief in mind, though.

Summer Court Dress (A shiny dress seemingly made of delicately woven golden leaves, to accentuate her tiny body. It's important to be at the height of fashion when meeting with fey. They take these things quite seriously-you can literally lose your head at a Fey party if you're a boor.)
Sun Stinger (This little piece of red glass shaped into a knife, would hardly prick a mans finger...but, it would draw a small amount of blood, and that's all it would take. Even a tiny stab causes immense, though entirely non-lethal pain in the target, sometimes described as 'oh Gods, my blood is boiling, kill me now'. Gleetch then usually flee...or use the moment to poke it in someplace entirely more vulnerable.)
