Yeah, the "No sense" ones.

[Johnfalcon99977]

And I am making the lore of an entire race. So I guess I have the most backstory as of yet. (Not bragging or anything.)

I really wish my internet didn't crash. I had a lot of fluff there.

[Criptfeind]

You may have the most sections, but in sheer amount I have over twice as much. 

[Johnfalcon99977]

I guess your right on that one, although my orginal fluff post had about the same amount of text.

Edit: Added yet more fluff and edited the Culture part to be more discriptive.

Edit2: May as well give fluff on Arcane:
Arcane is the most scared kind of magic, discoveried in the year 1000 B.C.

Spoiler:  Arcane (click to show/hide)

It is the single most powerful magic known to mortal, because of its infinite potential. Its power ranges from a simply lifting a paper with your mind to moving entire mountains and beyound. And this art was discoveried by the most unlikiest of people. An Ariani named Acias. He was an inter-racial between a Rabbit and a cat _{(( Cue childhood adorableness overload. ))}. He was an outsider to the rest of his people, for his heritage was in fact crused. All Rabbit and Cat hybrids had something bad happen to him and everyone around them often to many's belief. As a result, he spent much time alone. It was one fateful day on his so far uncelebarted 17th brithday. No one knows how or why, but on this day, he seemed to have an unatural talent in running, climbing, convicing, and many many other talents. Some people even reported seeing him move rocks with his mind! These strange, supernatural talents seemed to show more in the following years. At age 18, he seemed to have an ability to write visable text in the air, redirect rivers with a wave of his hand, causing buildings to crush for no reason, among others. This boy was a boy no longer. He was not even just a master, he was the most powerful being in the universe. At age 20, He could bend reality with his mind, create impossible figures, and even revert gravity. Ironicly, dispite all the power in the world, the thing that brought about his death was one of the most natural causes of all. Old age. Before he died, he wrote many texts on his abilities and thoughts. These writings tagute the people about the magic he called "Arcane". In it he said the abilities were endless, but that there were some retrictions, and sacrifices to be made. These arts were studied by hundreds of thousands of people, but many only got basic Arcane abilities at best. Entire schools were deticated to tring to de-code his works to be understood. But, the texts did not go unwanted. The texts written by the most powerful man in the world would surely attract attention. Many a war was fought over them, and then they started disappering from sight as people lost tract of them. Now only a little of his works remain in a library in Central Captiol. There are plenty of copies as well, but none withstanding to the orginals.

One says that he who finds all the orignal texts would gain the abilities of the Powerful being named Acias. But surely they are childrens tales...

Right? 

[Criptfeind]

That brings up the question of why. Why would the most powerful mage of all time... So many things...

1: Not cast the spell of mastery.
2: Not bring his race more favor, even simply by association.
3: Die.

For starters.

[Phantom]

Well, uh. Maybe he was a retarded wizard?



Anyway...
Must. Write. Up. Backstory. To. Beat. Everyone. Elses.

[Johnfalcon99977]

1. I guess he wasn't a power hog like the other wizard. Why would he create texts about his power if no one could use them?

2. Well, he was awfully shunned. But this guy was most likely a true neutral, so he wasn't after revenge either.

3. He said their were conquences to take in learning Arcane. I forgot to say that he in fact died very young. Around his mid-40's, and while in the hight of his prime. Its a strange, but thats one of the things clouded in mystery, waiting to be revealed.

[Taricus]

Eh, Seems a bit Sue-ish...

[Criptfeind]

Eh, Seems a bit Sue-ish...

Hah hah hah.

[Johnfalcon99977]

I personally do not think of him as a Mary Sue. Hes more of a plot device that created a potential MacGuffin.

[Taricus]

Nah, I don't think so...

[Johnfalcon99977]

What makes you think he is a Sue then?

[Taricus]

Such an ability at a young age. Preferably you could have the magic researched by a prominent university, as that seems more plausible given the lack of a printing press.

[Criptfeind]

I think both plot devices and MacGuffins are deep in the 'not our area.'

Think of it this way, Something of such magnitude is quite world changing. Obviously only Ituem can add it to the game.

You have put him in the point where he ether has to say point blank that you are wrong and Mr Sue was not as powerful as you say. Or he has to change his game to incorporate it in. Nether is a really attractive option. Lucky for us Iteum is not a wishy washy GM. He is going to shoot you down quickly and that just makes your part of the lore ridiculous.

You need to work with the world you are given. This is Ituem's story telling we can just fill in some of the colors.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Well, I was listening to a pretty epic song, and I liked the idea of it in the first place.

Also, theres quite a lot of things going agaiist his Sue-ness.

For example, he was True-Neutral, and didn't give a fuck about the rest of the world. He only wrote the texts so that his life abilities would not go to waste. He was also shunned as a child. Even when he was the most powerful being, he was still somewhat hated, due to his heritage.

@Criptfeind: Obviously, the true potentials of Acrane will most likely never be reached in game, and the power granted will in all honesty be downgraded in someway. Then again, the texts could be truely lost and be completely unable to retrive.
