PHYS: PS: AS: 2
SPIR: EGO: 1 SS: W: 3
Myths: N/A
Initiative: High
Commandments:
Create Foundations of Society: Knowledge is power, and power is balanced by understanding--people depend on infrastructure for further access and refinement of resources, physical, humane, mental, or in other forms and aspects; you have a duty to realize these
Accessibility: You have duty to help create the means by which people, and even spirits, can access their needs in better ways, or tools for yourself to do so--from things like roads for easier transport, to tools for more efficient tasks, to communications for ease of exchanging emotions, ideas, and meanings
Communicate: The worst communication comes from assumptions, and a lot of your culture is built on them--to understand the spirits effectively, it is through learning about them uniquely; perspective and intent matter in understanding spirits and other people, ensure that information and meaning is not lost or worse, withheld, from those who need it--always be open to contacting Tala
Quality over Quantity: Resources can become limited either by access, trade, or manpower, ensure that people working towards a task have a sense of quality in their actions and diligence in their results, which would also follow your own actions; the strongest building will require less upkeep than the same bridge made cheaply, and the same applies to raising people or even the culture of a society
Social Systems: People rely on others to get things done--the same follows with spirits--and it is very important to find ways of making systems, and then making systems efficient, to not cause harm in the end, and to make a network of inter-reliance in order to better achieve goals, tasks, and meeting needs; never forget that all people are equal, and nobody can claim being more equal than others
Ethical Treatment: In anything you make, in any actions you do, at least one is watching, and whom that is, is you: Ensure that what you leave behind, either by infrastructure or social action, is intended with the benefit of others, especially in communicating and working with the complex minutiae in life that you meet, and will meet; be very wary of performing acts that would directly result in your own demise for little gain, and find ways to keep your wit sharpened and your awareness open
Traits:
Earthmaster: Possesses a geologic mastery of knowledge over the rocks and metals, and how to potentially work with them into sturdy yet flexible infrastructure, including possessing designs of earthworks and other practical establishments, or tailoring the landscape to needs
Roboticist: Knowledgeable in ethical works of the flesh and living body, Jim is capable of effectively teaching and applying the arts of working in the field of robotics, and in the greater art of creating infrastructure beneficial to the living and the spirits
Logistician: From her robotics heritage, Jim is a very capable director and planner, able to allocate needed resources for when and where they are wanted, and possesses an acumen for needs and the populace
Invigorated Loyalist: In the event of a schism against Tala or otherwise in her teachings--they prefer to side with Tala or her intent, due to having their health restored from the harm of time and otherwise
Listener: A characteristic trait of assessing and analyzing before responding, Jim has a somewhat heightened niche in her hearing, but moreso in being able to communicate with others by listening and interpreting information into results
Tala noticed the biggest issue being the crabs--but also the mainstream ideas of her people and Guar's people, the huge 'us vs them' within the threads, songs, lines, and actions of people that would otherwise cause them to remain divisive and divided against each other. Thus she mentioned them to gather, over time, in order to bless them all within (a hex), which spanned hundreds to thousands of people. People needed to be united to face what could overwhelm them, than be isolated--especially with the culture and the ideas being shared.
Action 3: INGRESS WITH GUAR! TO THE BLOOD MOON!In these times, Guar asked for aid and mentioned things about the spirit planes. Tala agreed--she wanted to find more about what was going on and whether this sickly threat in spirit was actually what it as, or was a consequence of what had happened before given her own investigations.
. . .
Needless to say, it raised more questions than it had answered, and at the cost of some of Guar's own wounds.
Tala spoke to her champions to inform them of the great danger, while making known another of her wayward kin--Sarkyran--who claims to be the only "God" amongst all (which has tons of layers of deception and self-deception that she basically instructs against these, and hearkens into the dangers of idolatry and not to do so), due to her efforts in ingress.
