Whelp, guess I can't remove my pocket dimension stuff until we can find an alternate way of preventing Serana from causing an issue.

Hmm I hate to just say no for “lore” reasons (especially ones I made up), so if you have a good reason why a Cisharni would betray their family, I may allow it No to the Dragon though, just too different. Though you could be dragon-like, just not from the actual dragon emperor.

I mean... I just kind of think that even in a sea of bad apples, there tends to still be a few examples of the good sort. And after that? I thought that the realization that the Cisharni murdered a god to get where they are might be a bit jarring. Especially if he was fed stuff about the Cisharni being blessed by the gods in his childhood, and then finding out that they disobeyed a direct order from their creator and killed their "uncle" in cold blood might be enough to make him turn. Of course, this would be assuming that he has any kind of respect for the gods, but again, this guy is the one good apple.

And if we really have to, we can pull out some stuff about the other Cisharni killing his true love or something. But that's way overplayed and I don't think I can play it well.

...

Cisharni player-character + Serana = probably helpful stuff in this regards!

There are very few Cisharni though. About 12 or 13. I just think it would be too big of a thing if one of them defected. A human servants of a Cisharni, even an especially favored one I can understand, as that is my backstory, but if I recall correctly, Cisharni can't make more Cisharni like we can, so one of 12 defecting seems like it's too big.

A Nu-Cisharni, though. That could make sense.

If they are a new Cisharni, would their parent be someone we know, or an unknown Cisharni?

Wait wait wait. Do we know any by name?

Who?

If you want to join the game you should definitely read the IC thread, at least the updates if you don't really care what each character has been doing. Otherwise you are going to be extremely lost 99.99% of the time.

There's the Communist Beetle Man (Red Star or Red Dawn or something? General asshole combat dude, has Blink and warform), Hera (mother of all Spartans, so has Blink and probably some gene control thing), That Fucking Inquisitor Guy (apparently has everything :| ), Artemis (SM's ex-girlfriend, doesn't like to be around Atlantis), Apollo (Artemis's brother, over in Rome stopping them from rebelling, we think; fire stuff IIRC), and Secondborn (DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD ASSHOLE DEAD DEAD). I believe that's all the Cisharni we know of.

Serena is a Nu-Cisharni that worked for the Inquisitor as part of a spy network or something; we captured her and she's being held in Adjilia, which I made undetectable to the Cisharni.

EDIT: Ah, yes, and the Pharoah, who's such a fucking asshole that even the other Cisharni despise him. He's probably trying to make a magic nuke or something like that. Black giant soul gem, you see.

Will do.

I’ve thought about it, and decided against allowing a player to join as a Cisharni.

First, it complicates an already complicated game without adding enough benefits in my opinion. It would also take away an air of mystery and danger from your opponents. Third, while characters are all different, they all share the common background and goals of being a Sindari.

So of course you can join! Just as a mere immortal, potentially godlike Sindari instead of a Cisharni

Well, fine. Time to think up another character.

I mean... I can see a few benefits... like it might advance Rigel's story a bit, because I might recognize him as Orion. And having a character slightly sympathetic to the Cisharni would force the Sindari to flesh out their reasons for hating Atlantis besides "Sind told us to." From what I can see, the Cisharni are doing an OK job running the world.

But anyway. Not going to complain. You guys have a caster yet?

Pretty sure that the Tempesti are our single most populous caste.

[blueturtle1134]

Alright. Time to make a character sheet.

Spoiler: Sheet: Darius (click to show/hide)

Name: Darius
Appearance: Young adult European-looking male. Completely human in outward appearance. A slight aura of warping space extends around him, like waves of heat coming off pavement, bending and breaking the images of things behind him.
Class: Mecurita
Abilities: Teleport, Warg
Attributes: Strength:2 Agility:2 Intelligence:2 Willpower:2 Perception: 4 Presence:2
Wealth/Assets: 0
Influence:0
Worshipers/Power:0
Family:0
Skills: none

And what I'm going to warg?

A pigeon.

Screw that, a whole flock of pigeons^{and a few doves}, because offensive wargs are fun and all, but pigeons are everywhere. If you feel that giving me control of 20+ off the gate is too unbalanced then give me a certain number per year spent training Warg or something, but I feel like I should get more than one because pigeons are so much smaller than anything else you might pick. I do want to use them as valid teleport targets though.

[Glass]

You still need to add all your stats

EDIT: MAKE SURE THOSE PIGEONS ARE CARRIER PIGEONS.

[blueturtle1134]

Damnit, he's right. Adding +2 perception now.

[Smoke Mirrors]

I don't think pidgeons were that populous back then.

[Madman198237]

You also get more than a single +1 (+2 in stats with bonus), by the way. Ask the GM for how many stat points you get to add (we're partway through the game so you get extras)
