Appearance

Oberan is not a large man, standing only 5 foot 7 tall. He is of athletic build, his body covered with wiry muscles as a result of a whole lot of physical training, running and climbing. His hands have long nimble fingers, which always seem to be either flexing or fidgeting with something invisible when idle. The black hair on his scalp is long, wild, and unkempt, flowing past his shoulders. It gives him a more ragged and unclean appearance.

His face sports two dark eyes, a nose that has been broken a couple times, and heavy eyebrows which seem to be positioned in such a way they give him an expression of constant amusement. His chin is adorned with a goatee when he allows his facial hair to remain on his face. If not, he is clean shaven. The corners of his mouth are usually seen curled in a slight grin or smirk.

Usually he carries himself confidently, his back straight and shoulders squared. Some would say his gait and body language oozes not confidence but arrogance, and perhaps they would be right.

Oberan prefers to wear loose and comfortable clothing in darker colors, not one for fancy getups. Clothes need to be practical and easy to move in, he finds, and fashion is only an afterthought, if he considered at all. Most of his outfits look rather worn, not thread-bare, but not brand new either. Tears were stitched back together, holes were patched, and frays at the seams are common. The older the outfit, the more mended it becomes, usually coming to resemble something more akin to a patchwork than clothes.

Personality

It is hard to tell whether it was Oberan's personality that gave shape to the Domains he reigns over, or if it was the other way around. Yet, it is undeniable that the two are indeed connected, and that it is likely that neither would exist without the other.

Oberan is, and has always been, a troublemaker at heart. Be it for better or for worse, dull moments are avoided as much as possible. Because of that, he is likely to do everything he can to "liven things up a little", which is easily accomplished for one such as he.(A personal favorite of his is disrupting social events such as balls, weddings, parties, or just a busy tavern --anything with a large group of people, really-- with the use of his Shenanigan Sphere.) Perhaps to be expected, his dislike for boredom makes him a curious person with a short attention span for anything that does not interest him. To stave off boredom, he seeks excitement and thrill, relishing in dangerous situations. After arcs of having survived as a Mortalborn he finally realized that "surviving" is not enough to satisfy him, instead he wants to live his life to the fullest. Only because life is finite and time is limited is life worth living, which freed him from surviving in safety, living an empty life in the process. His enjoyment of his time is what is important, and if he has to die anyway, why not burn strong and bright and brief? It's not like he hasn't already lived a mortal life anyway.

Taking pride in his heritage as something between Mortals and Immortals, Oberan views himself and his kin as superior to ordinary Mortals. Though he thinks of any other Mortalborn as equals (more or less), he finds those that live like he himself used to are inferior. That said, he isn't too keen on being exposed and chased by an angry mob of anti-immortals himself.

He has a particular dislike for the rules of society, be they spoken or unspoken, often finding they are restricting on both a physical and mental level. He feels it limits people and confines them. His free spirit thus discards those rules, choosing to follow only his own. The only other rules he does not mind following are those of games, as those keep things interesting and challenging, and Oberan is rarely one to turn down a challenge. That said, he is not beyond cheating, as it in and of itself is also a challenge to pull off successfully.

Mortal Parent

Basics

Name: Lethius
Date of Birth: Saun 23 Arc 525
Race: Human
Relationship to PC: Father
Status: Deceased
Skills: Becoming 30, Unarmed combat 20, Stealth 10, Intelligence 20, Cryptography 20
Appearance: Lethius is a rather ordinary looking human man. His body is slightly toned thanks to the source of the totem having been a sailor. He is muscular, but not overly so, and stands at about six feet tall. His face is neither ugly nor handsome, forgettable in it's averageness. He has sea-green eyes and medium length brown hair. Due to overstepping while Becoming, every form Lethius takes is bland and forgettable in appearance. No form will have any outstanding features, all looking like the blandest specimen of their race/species.

Due to being a Becomer, Lethius does not appear to age, yet his totems do degrade. He swapped bodies and totems every so often until his amnesia grew worse, and he began to forget about his domain magic as a result.

History

It all began with a Naer. A Naer who cheated on her Goddess by worship of a different God. It was just by coincidence, but during a mission away from Augery, the Naer met Vri. She was on the brink of death when he arrived with Pier and Pre, passing judgement. Somehow she survived, despite her doubts at the time. Her memories of the event were blurry at best, only recalling fragments of conversation between the twin Immortals, as well as Vri’s serene face as he stood waiting. It haunted her dreams, day and night both. After a while, she found he was always on her mind somewhere, and she was unable to push him out. Eventually she started to worship him in secret. It was just a tiny bit at first, a little side deity. Unfortunately for her, it did not stay that way. Her worship grew from a little attention at first to more and more, and by the time she returned to Augery it threatened to overtake her worship of the Shadow Mother. Audrae noticed of course, secrets being her domain. Still, she gave the Naer a chance to redeem. To quit her worship of the Death God. To renounce him. She knew the Naer was struggling with her loyalty, struggling to give attention to both. It went on for an arc before Audrae’s patience ran out. Furious with the lack of respect for her, and the love she had for Vri, her enemy, Audrae stripped the Naer of her Audnev mark, her race –making her human—and banished her from Augery. Audrae transported her to Martyr’s Landing, to be hunted and killed by former sisters as an intruder.

Yet, despite all that, the former Naer survived. She managed to escape Martyr’s Landing, all the way to Desind. Perhaps it was because of Vri was looking out for her, perhaps it was because of her training as a Naer. Maybe it was because Audrae felt that death was too lenient. Perhaps she wanted her to live, and suffer the consequences of her actions.

And suffer she did.

It was only when the shock of Audrae’s wrath had been unleashed upon her that she realized just what she had done. It was only then that she realized that there was no way back. That she had lost all. Her mind was in turmoil, her pride shattered. She could no longer be proud of who she was; she was no longer a Naer, she was a human! Lightly put, she fell into a depression, her mind turning into a breeding ground of dark thoughts. She could not end herself however, her body would not allow it. Or rather, her shadow wouldn’t. While it moved when she did, it stopped when she deliberately was trying to commit suicide, causing her to stop in turn. Trying to resist it or outsmart it was impossible. It was Audrae’s revenge. The former Naer came to accept it eventually, after countless attempts. She couldn’t be sure if it was to have her live on and suffer her due punishment, or prevent her to meet Vri again. Maybe it was both. Even though she had realized the futility of her attempts after the first few tries, it did not stop her from trying. She did not want to live like this. She did not want to suffer. She prayed to Vri to end her life, to kill her on the spot. To let her succeed. There was no response. There never was any response. She came to resent him. Her love turned to hate. She did what Audrae had wanted all along when she had still been living in Augery; she renounced the Immortal of Death.

However, that did not stop her attempts at suicide. Even though it was futile, she did not stop trying. Maybe someday… if she could just move the knife a millimeter closer today… maybe she could move a millimeter more the day after… Of course it did not work out. There never was any improvement, no sign that her efforts bore fruit. What did happen was that she had time to think. Locked in place by her shadow, be it with knife in hand, on the precipice of a cliff, on a stool with a noose about to be pulled over her head, there was time to think. It had taken time to get there of course. Seasons. A couple arcs. At first there were only tantrums and overpowering sadness. After a while she got used to it. She learned to deal with her continuous failure. And, eventually, she tried without much hope at all, doing so simply because she had so many times before. It was a habit, a ritual. When it became that, the former Naer looked into herself, into her heart.

Who was she? She could not answer the question. Once she had known, but now? Now there was only uncertainty. She felt like a Naer, though the weakness she had displayed the past arcs made her deny the honor of calling herself one of Audrae’s daughters. Her pride forbade it.

What did she want? Simple. To die. To end her suffering. To be a Naer once more. She did not want to live like a pathetic human. But, her mind argued, did she wish to die like a human then? No. Not at all. To die like a human was even worse than living like one. There was only one way to die, and she had been denied access to it. A Naer died with her pride intact, with her head held high, and with Audrae on her mind. She would die satisfied, knowing she had served the Mother well. Now she could only die with Audrae on her mind, but that was it. She knew then, that she could not die. She could not let herself die. She needed to survive. It was the trial she stopped her attempts of killing herself. It was the trial that she started working on her own self.

The former Naer had had a revelation that trial. She had realized the error of her ways, back from when she had started worshipping Vri, and the arcs past her exile. She had behaved unbecoming of a Naer. She was unworthy of being a Naer. So, she needed to work and prover herself worthy of being one. She needed to improve. She needed to win back Audrae’s favor.

The first step was her punishment. No more running from it, no more whining about it. That was beneath the Naer. She would accept it, try to come to terms with it. The exile she could deal with, but not the loss of her race. Even though it hurt, she knew that it was a fitting punishment. She had behaved like something less than a Naer, and Audrae had made her into less than a Naer as a result. It was a good punishment, for it served as a reminder of her deeds, while also serving as a catalyst for her desire to change for the better. It pained her to be anything but a Naer, sure, but it wouldn’t be much of a punishment if it did not hurt. Audrae had been kind to her though, she found, for she had given her yet another chance. She had shown her the way, had prevented her from doing anything stupid, and had given her hope for a better future. Audrae still loved her, or so she firmly believed. It was a just punishment for a disobedient child, the loving hand of a mother delivering a painful slap, but only because of the love she had for her child. The former Naer wept when she realized it, and once more vowed to change. To become worthy of Audrae’s boundless love again. She vowed it not to herself this time, but to her Goddess, her loving Mother. She would change. No matter how long it took.

Arcs passed and the former Naer did indeed change. She had managed to get initiated in Becoming, initially being drawn to the magic by the appeal of changing into something else than her pathetic human form. Her disappointment was immense when she learned that she could not just transform, but needed totems to activate the magic. Blueprints of existing creatures and people. While she had convinced herself that she had not planned on transforming into a Naer anyway, as it would go against the Mother’s wishes, there was no denying that she had hoped for the option to be included. This way however, the former Naer reasoned, she would not be tempted. It was another small blessing of Audrae, keeping her on the right path. While the need for totems was disappointing, she did beg the mage who had revealed his magic to her to initiate her. She had seen the limitless possibilities the magic provided. Her mind was thinking of countless ways in which she could be of service to Audrae with it. She could be anyone, anything. That was all she needed to know to come up with an idea.

More arcs passed, and the Naer had dedicated her life to espionage. Not for coin, but for Audrae. She gathered secrets, transforming into critters and tiny birds and even people to accomplish this. One trial she was a cleaning lady working for a Lord, the other an orphan begging in the street, and the next trial she was a mouse, sniffing out information in inaccessible locations. No place was off limits for her, no stone was left unturned. Yet, not a trace remained. She was a ghost. Her existence was nothing more than an endless quest for more and more information. She only found pleasure in her hunt for secrets, her worship of Audrae, and in delivering said intelligence to the Mother’s agents. She was never seen by them, never heard, but they knew someone was helping out from the shadows. Information would come to them through various means, but always in the same form –jotted down on parchment. Sometimes it would simply be slid underneath their door. Sometimes a runner would arrive, letter in hand. Sometimes they would bump into someone and find it in their pockets. The notes were never signed, and always needed to be deciphered, the key arriving sometime later.

Despite this, Audrae never gave any sign of having noticed the woman’s efforts. Thus believing that it still was not enough, the former Naer worked even harder. She traveled from city to city, switching every few seasons. She tried on more faces, became more people, and became less and less aware of her own self. She forgot her name, she forgot what she looked like, and at times failed to recall her gender prior to her exile. Only when she thought about the all-female race of Naer she remembered that she had been one of them once. It seemed like such a long time ago. It felt like a distant dream. One she could only vaguely recall after having awoken. From time to time she wished she had not discarded her self-totem in an act of pride and self-loathing both. She never forgot her purpose though, even when she extended her lifespan beyond its limits with her magic-- unwilling to come face to face with Vri-- and determined to earn Audrae’s forgiveness before her death.

Perhaps it was the tenacity of the former Naer that attracted the Mother’s attention. Maybe it was the service she had done her during all those arcs. Mayhap it was an act of kindness, or maybe it was an act of cruelty. Perhaps it was all of those combined, along with the notion that she could push that pawn even further. Give it a reason to become even more devout, to tighten her grip on it. In addition, some say that the Immortal was hoping to create a Mortalborn to bolster her power. A loyal soldier to support her and her Naerikk, a daughter as devoted to her as the Mortalborn’s father was. A powerful pawn to deal with her Immortal foes and do her bidding.

It was a couple seasons after have met Audrae more intimately than ever before, that the Shadow Mother found her way into his room again. Her purpose? To bestow a third gift upon her loyal servant, an infant. She said he had to raise the boy, teach it of the workings of the world, and of the Great Mother Audrae. There was no person better suited for the task than he, as he was without a doubt the most zealous of her worshippers. Lethius never questioned a word of what She said, grateful for the generosity of the Great Mother, grateful for the huge amount of trust She placed in him. As such his sight never could discern the truth. He never realized that that was the last time Audrae appeared before him. He failed to recognize that none of the gifts given benefitted him in significant ways. Perhaps it was his memory becoming worse and worse, letting loose the memories not of past arcs, but of recently passed seasons and, eventually, trials. His mind was only focused on one thing, one thing he remembered without fail; Audrae’s instructions. He did forget his past. He did forget his name again. He even forgot the lies he crafted for himself, forgetting who he was supposed to be. At times he got lost in the city, unable to recall anything, everything looking so new and unfamiliar. Sometimes he got lost in his own home. He forgot his Domain Magic, having thrown away his totems one trial, having forgotten their importance. Some he just did not manage to find after having hidden them in a moment of clarity. Yet, he never forgot about Audrae, about her kindness, about her visits. Nor did he forget about the boy, the Great Mother’s son, and his duty to raise him.

Mortalborn story

Mortalborn Story

One evening a physically unremarkable human man sat jotting down notes in a notebook. Though he had discovered the hideout of Audrae’s agents quite a while ago, they had yet to receive any information from him. He had collected it all in this notebook, and as the blank pages dwindled, so too did the trials before they would be able to collect this tome of secrets. The flames of the candle next to his notes flickered and danced as if a breeze had slipped through the window. Yet, there was no wind; his window was closed shut. He looked around for anything suspicious, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. He frowned, then shrugged and continued writing, not needing the cypher to encrypt his writings; after all, he’d been writing his whole notebook by using it. He continued for a while longer, filling pages with the only noise being the scratching of his pen on paper, and the occasional tapping of the pen on the inkpot to remove excess ink.

“It truly has been a while, has it not?”

The voice came out of nowhere, startling the man, and causing his pen to slip on the page. He came to his feet like a whirlwind, reaching for the dagger on his hip. Someone had managed to enter his room undetected somehow, and they were now standing behind him, he thought. However, there was no-one. He looked around confused, a frown creasing his brow. Hallucinations were not strange to him, but this was not one of the usual voices he heard. Actually, voices were rare. Usually he saw things that were not there, webs of secrets and conspiracies that turned out to be utter nonsense. Sometimes people that were not there. Sometimes he talked to mice and rats. Sometimes to his own shadow. It never replied though.

The man’s eyes darted across his room. With unsheathed dagger he carefully moved around to check all possible hiding places, leaving no stone unturned. Nothing. The only thing in the room alongside him was his shadow. His frown deepened as he stared at it, as if to ask if it had noticed anything strange. His shoulders drooped as the tension bled out of him. He shook his head, sat back down behind his desk, and decided the voice had been a result of his fractured mind. Though as he began writing, the shade moved, positioning itself on the wall where the man could see it clearly. The frown returned.

“Confused?”

There it was again, but now the voice was different. It felt familiar, though only vaguely so. The man squinted at the memories of which there only existed a faint trail in his mind. The shadow made a dismissive gesture with its hands.

“No need to be.” It cocked its head quizzically, as if considering the man’s state of mind for the first time since it had appeared. “Do you not recognize me?” it asked, more amused than insulted or disappointed. On the contrary, a laugh echoed through the room. “Too busy hunting down the secrets of others to remember your own, were you? Has the Domain addled your mind, made it forget who you were?” A chuckle. “For some, a curse. For you, a kindness, I suppose.”

The man was wary of this entity, uncertain of what it wanted, uncertain of where he knew it from. His memories were hazy at best, covered in a thick mist, and full of holes. His brow was furrowed, his eyes half-closed. He was trying hard to remember, so hard that it hurt. One thing was certain though, he knew this entity. He’d known it before… before he had started his hunt for information. What had come before though? He only knew he had been a Naer once. Long ago.

“Yes. You are almost there. Only a little bit further now.”

He tried, he honestly did. But it was no use. His mind was blank, instead of hazy images of times gone by, there was a black hole. A vast emptiness that had grown inside his head. A void that had consumed his memories, his past. Even his heritage, something he was so sure about, was not a certainty. It was not as if he could recall what he had looked like, or what he’d been like. If he’d had friends. Nothing at all. The only thing he had was an idea inside his head. A steadfast belief that he had been one of the Naerikk once.

However… he knew of one entity that controlled shadows… It was impossible though, a foolish notion. She would never-- It was probably his mind messing with him, just a result of his hope getting the better of him. There was no way—

The shadow morphed. It twisted and shifted, its appearance growing more and more feminine. Taller too, like an amazon. The man’s mouth fell agape, his eyes wide with disbelief. Not once had his shadow done anything like that before.

“It has been a while,” he stammered in agreement, still in awe. His eyes filled with water, his sight murky.

“About fifty years, give or take,” the shade spoke.

Its form shifted, slowly bulging outwards as it became three dimensional. In a few trills, the shadow detached itself from the wall, standing in front of the man who was too flabbergasted to speak. His jaw opened and closed his mouth, but he produced no sounds. As the shadow began to form recognizable features, the man fell to his knees, head bowed in deference. He had not expected her to grace him with her presence, much less to appear before him in the flesh. Thus he bowed, forehead on the floorboards, as the shadow formed the head of a Naer, tears of joy streaming across his cheeks. Fifty years. He had waited so long for this moment. He had dreamed of it, fantasized about it. He had hoped that maybe one trial—but no, he had believed his hopes to be in vain, but he still had hoped nonetheless. And now here she stood, Audrae, in all her power and glory. How could he not let sobs of utter joy escape? How could he not shed tears when it seemed that he would be accepted back into the fold? How could he not cry when Audrae was willing to forgive him?

“Do not cry, my dear,” the Immortal spoke, her voice regal and warm, “raise your head.”

He did lift his head off the ground, looking up at the Great Mother before him. His face was unsightly; flushed red cheeks stained with tears, red-rimmed eyes of crying, colorless snot running down from his nostrils into his mouth. His face was twisted as he tried to stop his sobbing, and while he managed to stop the tears from flowing, his body still quivered.

“Much better,” Audrae nodded, “Now rise. I have not come to see you grovel before me. I came to deliver a gift, as you have done me a great service. Despite the mistakes of your past, your loyalty to Augery and myself has never been stronger. I will not let that pass by unrewarded.”

Absolutely dumbfounded, the man could not find any words to speak for a few moments. In fact, he appeared to have lost all knowledge of how to speak in the first place. When he could however, he gave a half-hearted protest, way too overjoyed to decline the offer adamantly.

Audrae lifted a hand, palm facing her follower. She shook her head, dismissing his refusal.
“Enough. I have made up my mind. I will bestow upon you two gifts. You will accept them.”

It was not a question. It was not a request. He would accept. Of course, he could try to refuse and protest, but he knew that it would be an insult to the Great Mother, and insulting her was the last thing he wanted to do. Not again. Not now, after all these years.

“Two gifts?” he asked then, gingerly.

“Two gifts,” the Immortal confirmed. She raised a finger. “The first is not as much a gift as it is me returning something you lost along the way.” A pause. “It is your name; Lethia.”

The man’s eyes grew wide, filing and overflowing with water once again. His name. Her name, actually. It had been so long since he’d been called that. It had been so long since he’d used it himself. He’d forgotten the sound of it, the flow as it rolled over his lips, the taste of it on his tongue. His name. The one thing he still owned now. Not his body, not his race, not his memories. His name. The thing that had been the most painful to lose after his exile.

He cried openly, unable to stifle the sobs. Incoherent blubbering of gratitude streamed over his lips just as freely as his tears. Audrae smiled in satisfaction, though her smile was not a friendly one. Lethia never noticed.

As soon as the man calmed down somewhat, Audrae continued, raising a second finger to join the first.

“Now then, onto your second gift,” she said, her tone of voice making it obvious this was the true reason she was here that trial. While before only her head had been revealed to the man, now the rest of her body formed out of the shadow, the uniform blackness fading away as the contours of her body became more and more distinct.

Lethia’s mouth fell agape yet again. Audrae was completely naked.

Personal History

Early life

It was one of the many dark days in Cylus that Audrae appeared before Lethius for the second time. The time is hard to be specific about, as in Cylus every day is just as dark as night. Not that it matters. Be it day or night, it was dark either way. What Lethius was doing at the time is a mystery, as the man wasn’t sure himself. He only remembers that a sharp knock on the door of his room drew his attention. In the doorframe stood Audrae, wearing a cloak wrought from shadow that kept her features hidden under a hood. In her arms she held a baby boy, only a couple seasons old at most. She had come to bestow upon Lethius a third and final gift, as well as a great honor. To raise this child, Djas, born of the unity of mortal and Immortal, to the best of his abilities. Naturally, the man was overcome by surprise, feeling over the moon when shown such level of trust by the Great Mother. He swore to raise the boy in a way that would make Audrae proud. The Goddess gave an impatient nod and basically dumped the child in his arms. She did not linger, turning around with only a final “Do not disappoint” before melting away in the shadows upon stepping away.

Though the boy had been named by his mother already, Lethius found the mouths of anyone who was not a devout of Audrae unworthy of speaking his name. He gave the boy a second name, a mortal name to balance out his Immortal one. Just as his Immortal side was balanced out by his mortal side. He named the boy Oberan.

During Bran’s early years, Lethius did keep his promise to Audrae, too afraid of disappointing her once again to even think of not honoring it. In Lethius’s case, this meant that every free moment of his time was spent looking after the child. That said, he knew that in order to sustain both himself and the child, he would need a lot of money. So, the first few years of the child’s life, Lethius left him in the care of a nanny. The child’s mind was not ripe for the teachings he wanted to instill in him, and in that time Lethius could –thanks to his Becoming—easily sneak in and out of mansions and buildings where a lot of wealth was stored. The coming years it was smooth sailing from there, though by no means did they live large. It was a rather spartan diet, clothes that got patched over and over, and no toys.

Lethius taught Oberan a great many things. He taught him how to read, how to write and how to count. He taught him basic math, he taught him how to cook simple meals. He taught him how to read the time, he taught him the cardinal directions. He tried to teach about medicinal plants, but the boy’s attention span did not seem to last long enough. He taught the boy how to defend himself, how to hunt, and how to kill. He taught the boy about stalking and tracking and trapping. He taught the boy about traits he figured Audrae would appreciate, things he thought might have been taught to himself once, long ago. He could not remember them, of course, so he taught the boy about loyalty, pride, determination, perseverance, discipline, mercy, cleverness, and patience instead. And most importantly, he taught him about Mother Audrae and her greatness, her superiority over all other Immortals.

Despite his memories of the past having been erased, Lethius was a great teacher, taking his duty to Audrae very seriously. However, because of his spotty memory, he could not answer any personal questions the boy posed, remaining a mystery to both Oberan and himself.

Arcs passed, and Lethius grew far more forgetful. Often he forgot his own name, sometimes he forgot what he’d done just trills before, sometimes he woke up with years of his life erased. Still, he always recognized the boy he was taking care of. Sadly, with the worsening of his condition also came frailty and weakness of body. His time was running out, and having forgotten about his magic, he had also forgotten to renew his totems. His current one would not hold out much longer. Within a few seasons, Lethius withered away, dying slowly.

Childhood – on the streets

With his father dead, Bran was effectively orphaned. He managed to keep himself alive by stealing, discovering that despite his lack of training in that field, he seemed to have an aptitude for it.. It was good enough to keep himself from starving, but he did not always manage to shoplift successfully, and was often beaten by the merchants, and hunted down by the guards. The latter had no real bad intentions, he realized after a while; they wanted to place him in an orphanage and keep him off the streets. Oberan refused to go there though, missing his father immensely, even if their bond had never been all that great. When he was not out on the streets, he sat holed up in the abandoned house, usually crying in the room his father had occupied. His only company were the spirits drawn to his divinity, though the boy could not see them. Their presence was felt however, and from time to time the spirits moved objects or knocked on walls.

It was that paranormal activity that got the neighbors to demand the house be demolished. Not only was it in terrible state, with cobwebs all over, but when one of them had gone inside when hearing Oberan sobbing in his father’s room, the spirits decided to protect the mortalborn child. Needless to say, the people were scared out of their wits, and one day the house was indeed reduced to rubble. With no place else to go, the streets became the boy’s home for real.

Fortunately for Oberan, his lost home was soon replaced with another, and he was even given a new family. It was a member of a travelling group of performers that first spotted Bran fleeing from a persistent guard, employing half-baked parkour to avoid obstacles. Perhaps she spotted a raw talent in the boy, perhaps she was just drawn to the divine energy that empowered her. Either way, she began to stalk the child on a whim, taking note of his exploits. Then, having taken a decision, she assisted him in escaping a couple trials later, dragging him along to their camp outside the city.

At first, as was understandable, the other performers did not want to take him in. They had fallen on hard times themselves, they said, and had enough trouble sustaining their own group as is. Lynessa –the woman who’d found Bran—did her best to persuade them though, saying he had potential, and that he could be of use. The others countered with things like “You always say that” or “The last one you brought was deaf and mute, what about this one?” She did not give up though, speaking with the leader of their group for nearly two breaks in private. Ultimately, he was accepted in their ranks, but Lynessa would have to look after him. The others had no obligation to do anything for the boy. The woman did not mind, and though Bran’s opinion on the matter had not been asked, nor considered (he’d just been dragged along, then told he was now part of their group), the boy was glad that someone that seemed to care for him had come along.

And so began the best arcs of his youth.

Childhood – Busker Crew

The group really wasn’t a place for a twelve arc old boy. For starters, there was no-one of his age around (the closest thing to a peer was Dulano, who was twenty-one) and no-one really had time to sit around and relax. The trials were busy, either spent travelling, cleaning, performing maintenance, rehearsing their acts, and scouting out good spots in the city. They worked hard, and at the end of the trial, they were tired and went to bed early. Some trials they would leave in the middle of the night, without explanation. Naturally, Bran was to pull his weight, tasked with cleaning of equipment, fetching things, delivering messages to other members, etc. It was hard work for the boy, but he did not really mind. He went to bed every night fairly happy, and only rarely did he look back at what had come before, sobbing softly into his pillow.

It took a couple seasons, but in that time, Bran managed to slowly become an actual part of the crew. The others started to open up to him more and more, and in his free moments they were willing to let him hang around to watch as they fulfilled their own tasks. They talked, they laughed. However, a boy needed to be among peers, and from time to time Bran snuck away to go play with the children in the city. Sometimes they would tell him to go somewhere else, but other times he could tag along and be part of their mischief.

One trial, when dinner was served, the Crew’s leader, Gallan, had decided to truly accept Bran as part of his family, as he called the group. He would be one of them for real. It seemed he had waited to be sure that the boy wanted to stick around, if he could keep up with their lifestyle. And now, he would like to welcome Oberan into his group as an actual member, instead of a tag-along. Naturally, Bran was all too glad to accept the offer, to be given actual tasks, and to help out with the performances. He had come to adore the ragtag group of buskers and their abilities.

They made him swear an oath to never betray his family, and then he truly was one of them. Bran’s stay as an actual member of the troupe began.

As it turned out, the Busker Crew was not just a group of buskers. They moonshined as thieves when their acts drew less of a crowd, or if the crowds weren’t exactly generous. Or if their wallets did not house a whole lot of coin. Every act was in essence also a distraction, so a couple other members could pick the pockets of the audience. It worked fairly well most of the time, but very few of the members were keen on going about such risky business. Especially because they had their own acts to perform, and they would rather not risk being recognized as a would-be pickpocket. An urchin though, would not draw a whole lot of attention. That was to be Oberan’s role in the troupe. He was taught the tricks of the trade, and proved to be a fast learner. He picked up the skill rather quickly. It came almost natural to him, it seemed. Soon enough, the boy was sent on his first few pickpocket sprees, which he came back from mostly successful in varying degrees. The young boy found his role rather entertaining; he got to watch bits and pieces of the performances –though after so many times they got a little old—and he loved the thrill he got out of sneaking around and stealing. He felt alive and in his element, his other tasks became bland, boring and mundane. Eventually, he found he started to long for more and more, and began to beg Gallan to allow him to come along on the occasional burglary jobs. It took several arcs before the man deemed Bran old enough to come, and even then he was still hesitant.

However, he did give in, and boy, did Bran deliver. Not directly, as he had no experience with picking locks, but his domain of larceny boosted the skills of the troupe to a certain degree, making it easier to pick locks, find valuables, and remain undetected. The group with Oberan in it always returned with more coin and valuables, as they were able to visit more houses within a smaller time frame. It became rather obvious at one point, but the troupe members –unaware of Mortalborns and Bran’s heritage—did not find it something worth bringing up. Some called Bran their “good luck charm”, and just appreciated the effect his presence had on their financial status. It did bring them closer to their goal after all. To start an actual circus, with a big top and a stage, where people would pay an entrance fee, and be entertained for an evening in return. They were entertainers first and foremost, their thievery was just a means to an end. They wanted to be treated for what they were, not ignored by passersby as if they were just beggars in rags. They dreamed of wagons with cupboards hold their possessions, and a bed to sleep in.

Adolescense

Of course, life in the troupe had its ups and downs. They did not always get along as well as they should. There were arguments, there were differences of opinion. Often times the troupe would have to leave a city in the middle of the night because they had been spotted by guards during a heist, and Gallan would rather not risk being recognized. However, Bran did enjoy his time there. He picked up bits and pieces of the different acts of the members of the troupe, who were more than willing to teach him a thing or two about their specialty. Dulano taught him the basics of juggling, Lynessa showed him some contortionist tricks. Esmara taught him some acrobatic stunts, while Divolt offered to help him practice using a sling. Gallan believed Oberan’s long nimble fingers would aid him greatly in playing an instrument, but the boy wasn’t as interested in music as he was in the other acts.

As arcs passed, and Oberan grew into a man, the future looked bright for the troupe, however, not all great things can last forever. This was true in the case of the troupe also. Though they had been able to escape the law for so long, there came a time when the guards were waiting for the troupe outside a mansion in Andaris they had broken into. There were too many of them to fight off, and they had the building completely surrounded. All present members were arrested and dragged off to jail. Having grown a little too comfortable and arrogant, the troupe had been staying in the city for far longer than they usually did, completing heists every couple trials. Of course the people would take notice, but the troupe had believed they would not have to worry too much about it if they did not make any mistakes. It was too bad that there was a traitor in their midst.

Hank the Becomer, part-time teddybear, had contacted to guards and spun a story about how he and his son had been captured by a band of criminals who forced them to work. He influenced their minds with Empathy, making them believe what he was saying. Thus he managed to get the guards to let him and Oberan walk away free, the latter firmly held under the thumb by magical means. It occurred to Bran –though much later—that Hank might have been responsible for their prolonged stay in that city as well. His motivation? Bran’s divine spark. Hank had succumbed to the desire to flay the mortalborn, dreaming of a power that might make him equal to the Immortals. He felt he was so much more than just a street performer, and had been absolutely livid when the troupe had asked him to use his magic to become a bear they could use in their acts. He desired retribution for the humiliation he had suffered for arcs, conveniently forgetting that he had enjoyed those arcs and those acts, that he had proposed it. Getting initiated into Empathy had been a mistake, and the domain had twisted his emotions and feelings the more powerful it grew. The Hank then was not even a shadow of his former self, his past personality all but erased. The magic had consumed it. Perhaps that past Hank was still in there, fighting and trashing, maybe crying and despairing as he became aware of what was going on. Not that Bran would ever know, he could only see that Hank had gone absolutely mad.

The fatal mistake made was not that the Becomer dragged the lad off to a location out of the city, where no-one would bother them, but that he did not sever the strands of fear forming in Bran’s mind when he let the boy know about his plan to transcend his mortal flesh. Perhaps the mad mage reveled in the feeling of being feared. However, as more and more fear built inside the mortalborn, the magic keeping him obedient wavered. The will to live was far too great to be restrained, and as Bran realized he was on the verge of dying, of his soul being ripped from his body, his subconscious activated a mortalborn ability. A brilliant flash erupted in the immediate area, blinding both Bran and Hank, and stunning the latter. Oberan made use of the confusion to flee. He blindly stumbled through the wilderness, somehow managing to get away. Naturally, he wasn’t in the best shape, but at least he was alive.

As soon as his vision returned, he searched for the camp, finding Divolt and Gabriella still there, worried out of their minds. They suspected something had gone horribly wrong, since the troupe usually returned way faster. Oberan informed them both of Hank’s betrayal and of the capture of the others, and decided he would try to bust the others out of jail. Both Divolt and Gabriella refused to help out, not because they did not want to abandon the others, but because they believed none of them would make it back out of the dungeons. Naturally, Oberan was immensely frustrated and angry, though once he calmed down, he could see they were right.

Thus, Oberan decided to hone his skills in preparation for a time where he might be up for the task, as well as trying to find out if he would develop more mortalborn abilities. Divolt and Gabriella planned on selling most of the horses and buy a house in the city, partly to keep the possessions of the troupe safe, and partly because the two desired to turn over a new leaf and live an honest life. They even offered to take Bran in, but he politely refused, not wanting to cause them any trouble. After all, he would be on the other side of the law.

Early Adult Life

The arcs that followed, Bran did travel to a couple other cities, but he did not drift outside of Rynmere. He indulged in both pickpocketing and burglary, honing his skills as he had said he would. As suspected, two other abilities manifested themselves during those arcs, one of them providing the young man with a means to open anything he desired. As a means to lay low, Bran began to perform on street corners and on market squares, putting the skills he’d picked up from the troupe members to good use. That said, he wasn’t particularly good enough at either to be worth the attention of the passersby, and he began to develop his own unique act. It was an escape act, where he would let a member of the audience cuff him, wrap him in chains, buckles and belts, and sometimes lock him in a straightjacket. Then he was dumped in a tank of water, which would be locked shut. If he’d been anything but a mortalborn, he would never been able to pull it off. The only problem was that it used a lot of keys, so Oberan wasn’t too keen on performing his act more than a couple times a season, as he was forced to steal keys, and did not particularly enjoy letting his ability consume them. Nevertheless, it was a huge spectacle, and was usually fairly successful.

When he figured he was ready to break his family out of jail, Oberan called upon Divolt and Gabriella, but they still refused to be directly involved. They were willing to shelter the escapees for a brief period of time, to provide them with some rations and travel gear (as well as the members’ abandoned possessions), but no more. They had grown comfortable in their new life the past five arcs, and did not want to ruin it. Of course they would help out their family if they needed their aid, but that was only if the troupe could indeed escape the dungeons. Oberan argued with them about it, though it accomplished nothing. The others would understand, they said, they wouldn’t have wanted them to destroy their new and happy life for them. They would feel guilty about it. Bran disagreed, but eventually dropped the issue. Though he felt disappointed in the two lovers, he was glad that they were willing to at least help out a little, and would not completely abandon their family.

The jailbreak itself went about as well as you might imagine. Getting in was a challenge in of itself, but Oberan managed. Busting the others out was a bit of a problem. Not in the least because Gallan and the others refused to come with. A large group like theirs would have a hard time sneaking out undetected, they said, not to mention they would have a bounty placed on their head if they did escape. During their arcs in prison the troupe members had had a lot of time to think, and they had decided to sit out their time. It wasn’t like they had been given a life sentence, and their time was coming to an end anyway. Though Bran was more than a little frustrated at their stubbornness, he did tell the troupe the location of the other two members’ residence. Then he took their advice and snuck back out of the prison on his own.

He returned to Gabriella and Divolt rather bummed out by the selfishness (in his opinion) of the others. Thinking about what they had said, Bran decided to be selfish himself. A couple trials later he left Rynmere, giving in to his desire to see more of the world, to discover more about himself, and perhaps find his mother.

Adult Life

The arcs that followed, he did exactly that. He traveled from city to city when he felt like it (usually when he felt it was too dangerous to stick around). Usually, he took up residence in a city for a couple arcs, only to then disappear and pop up in another city. He stuck to his thieving ways, finding it hard to give them up, no matter the risk they brought with them –or perhaps because of it. He saw different continents and cultures, he tried different lifestyles and jobs. He made enemies, friends, and even made an attempt to settle down with a loving wife. However, the latter was not a life for him, and did not feel satisfied with a quiet life. One trial he just left his fiancée, his house, and his children behind, pinning a note on the kitchen table to inform them he would probably not return.

The arcs after that were pretty much similar to those before he’d tried settling down. He lived his life doing whatever he wanted to, when he wanted to. He performed on street corners, he broke into houses, he engaged in tavern brawls, and he travelled from one city to the next. He retained his youthful looks (one of the reasons why he’d left his family behind –he already was pushing fifty at that point), and had long since learned that every use of his abilities shortened his otherwise ridiculously long lifespan. Thus, he only used them rarely, but that all changed the longer he lived. If there was any merit to being practically immortal, Bran could not see it. Other races lived only briefly, but it did give their life meaning. Bran, on the other hand, was tiring of the world and its people. Everything was basically the same, no matter where he went. Because he did not age, he could not stay in one place for more than maybe ten arcs. He found himself without purpose, living only because he felt he should. Life itself became a boring affair, no matter what he did. It was probably this mindset that got himself captured by the Iron Hand, and thrown into the dungeons he’d broken into long ago. Bran blamed bad luck at first, cursing the fact that the owner of the mansion had woken up, had spotted him, and had called the guard. He blamed bad luck for spraining his ankle during his escape. Lastly, he blamed bad luck for the mansion owner having been able to pull some strings to keep Oberan imprisoned for as long as possible. Not that the last part was too much of a problem; with the God Key he could get out easily.

Yet, after some time spent in the dungeon, waiting for his ankle to heal, the mortalborn started to consider his capture a blessing in disguise. True, he had been robbed of his freedom. True, he would be bored out of his mind. However, had he not felt tired and apathetic about both? His incarceration gave meaning to his freedom, gave him a comparison. How could he have known the meaning of freedom without knowing what the opposite meant? What was enjoyment if one had never been bored? And, how could life be worth living, if his time was infinite? He pondered those thoughts deeply for a long, long time, and then he made up his mind. It was not a decision taken lightly, nor one that was easy to make. It hurt to consider it, it went against his nature. However, he believed that in the long run, he would benefit greatly from it. He needed a fresh start, to reset his view of the world, so that he might find himself enjoying life once again. That the fires of his soul would be rekindled. Thus it was that Oberan decided to sit out his time in prison patiently, to cleanse himself of his apathy.

Naturally, he suffered. He entertained the thought of placing himself in a hibernation-like state many times, but somehow managed to resist temptation. His attempts would be rendered moot if he gave in, his stay would be meaningless. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists, counting the trials, seasons, and arcs go by. He let his hair and beard grow to give the guards an illusion of him ageing, even though he suspected they wouldn’t notice either way. His skills as both a thief and martial artist deteriorated from negligence, but there was nothing he could do. He was wiping his slate clean. This was for the best. Eventually, after what had felt like an eternity, ten arcs had passed. He saw the suns again after so long. He was free once more. The way his heart leapt up in joy confirmed his cleanse had worked wonders. He saw a world of possibility. He was free at last.

Capstones

Stealth

In plain sight

By manipulating his body language, Oberan manages to present himself as so dull and uninteresting that people looking at him don’t even register he’s there. They do see him, but their brain subconsciously labels him as unimportant and skips to more interesting things to observe. In essence, while this technique is in use, Oberan is seen, but he is completely ignored to the point that people forget he is/was there. Even when moving things around or bumping into people, they do not register his presence. They may respond to it, but will forget about it happening almost immediately after. Oberan can use this Capstone while standing, sitting, lying down, hanging, and even while moving around in whatever way he pleases, though he does have to move slowly. Actions taken have to be slow since fast motion tends to draw attention, and Oberan cannot walk/climb/crawl faster than the speed of a casual stroll lest he give himself away.

Suspicious actions like drawing a weapon, speaking louder than a mutter, moving fast, or making too much noise will undo his technique. It also doesn’t work on people that are actively watching him, unless he breaks line of sight first.

Approval


Soundless

While stealth can be thought of as the art of not being seen, not being heard is of equal importance. Having trained excessively to become more aware of how his environment and attire behave, Oberan has developed a way of carrying himself to eliminate the sounds he might create, becoming all but soundless.

In addition to utilizing special breathing techniques to muffle the passive sounds of his body –such as those created by inhaling/exhaling and heartbeat– Oberan makes very little noise. Regardless of underground, environment or weather conditions, the clothes he wears and equipment carried on his person, whether he stands or sits or lies down, moves fast or slow, runs or jumps, climbs or tiptoes, the noise of his very existence is essentially suppressed.

Approval

Athletics

Airborne Leap

Having mastered a slew of acrobatic techniques, Oberan has stumbled upon one that lets him extend his airtime through some uncanny maneuverability.

While jumping or otherwise airborne, Oberan can use his flexibility and strength of his core muscles to throw his lower body upwards, past his head and shoulders. Adding what basically amounts to another jump to the previous one, this allows him to extend his airtime and to reach places that would be too high up for an ordinary leap. When used right before landing, it can eliminate some downward momentum.

This technique cannot be strung together multiple times in a row, though given enough airtime for repositioning and recovery, it is technically possible to use it more than once per jump/fall.

Approval


Effortless Traversal

As a thrillseeker and someone who often prefers to take the shortest, most direct route available, it is no surprise that Oberan gravitates towards freerunning for his preferred method of travel. The faster he can blow past obstacles, scale walls, and leap gaps, the more he feels the excitement of it. The less he has to think about it, the more he gets to revel in the sensation of adrenaline setting his body aflame.

This capstone is the epitome of his ability to do just that. It allows Oberan to run full tilt and still efficiently overcome obstacles by vaulting, swinging, sliding, climbing, scaling, leaping, rolling, etc –all without losing much speed in the process. To an onlooker, Oberan moves with a fluid grace that makes it seem the obstacles pose very little hindrance, if at all, to the point that they might as well not have been there.

Approval

Larceny

Lock-o-pedia

Having encountered thousands of locks in his lifetime, Oberan’s decades of experience culminated in a delicate touch and a mental encyclopedia of all the lock types he has come across, from simple padlocks, to simple safety latches, to vault doors with combination locks, to magical contraptions. It is exactly this knowledge and experience that allows him to breach any lock he’s encountered before in a quick, efficient and subtle manner.

When exploring a lock, Oberan can use his Lock-o-pedia to note any similarities to those he has experience with, which then serves as a basis to quickly figure out the mechanism behind the lock. Though he needs a little more time to figure things out in the case of a lock he's never come across before, Oberan does not have to extensively research it first, and can open and close the lock as he pleases without leaving any trace of tampering. This even works for locks that aren’t at all similar or comparable, mechanism-wise, to any others Oberan has encountered before, though these types take longer to figure out.

Magical locking devices –be they alchemical or ensorcelled or otherwise enhanced through magical means– are a little different. They often require very specific conditions to be opened, and as such they usually cannot be breached with a regular toolkit. While Oberan can certainly explore these locks and gain an understanding of how these magical defenses can be tricked, circumvented or bypassed, he cannot breach it without specialized tools of some sort. However, when such items have been procured, this capstone applies in full.

Mischief

Shenanigan Sphere
This ability, which can only be triggered once a trial, has the potential to turn any situation upside down. Whether it be in a favorable or less favorable way is impossible to predict. While not necessarily harmful, the effect can hinder any caught within its range. Like Bran himself, the ability is whimsical. It bends and alters reality for a certain amount of time, which seems to be determined by how cumbersome the effect is. Effects that stop people from functioning tend to last shorter than effects that affect the environment or introduce minor changes in the creatures in range. Though troublesome and sometimes frightening, the effects of this ability are more annoying than they are actually damaging or dangerous. The area of effect is rather large, forming a sphere with a radius of 25 meters. The effects are almost instantaneous, with only a rush of divine energy to warn those caught in range of the impending hijinks.

Due to the sheer power of this ability, the use of it is limited to one use each day, after which the user will feel minor exhaustion, akin to the fatigue felt after physical exercise. Powerful as it might be in warping reality, the results are not always helpful, and the user is not exempt from its effects at all. Lastly, the outcome of using this ability is random*. (roll a d100)

*unless agreed upon by all parties involved in the thread as premise of the thread.

Effects list

• 1.All animals (with legs) in range start to suddenly walk on two legs for a full break as if they were humanoid (1 break)
• 2.All sound within the area of effect becomes distorted, as if one was under water (3 trials)
• 3.All those affected will drink through their fingertips instead of their mouths, and will find themselves disgusted when seeing someone drinking though their mouth. (3 trials)

• 6.All those affected will become seasick whenever they try to ride anything other than a boat (3trials)

• 9.All stones within the area of effect get coated in a layer of shiny though almost worthless goldlike metal (3 trials)
• 10.The edge of the area of effect spawns transparent walls which traps everyone within inside. Creatures and objects can enter, however. (3 trials)

• 15.The gravity in the area of effect changes to that of the moon for 3 trials
• 16.Time slows down in the area of effect, so that everything within it moves in slow motion. The brain of the creatures within it still processes information at a normal rate though. (3 trails)
• 17.Nullifies the depth perception of all those affected, causing them to be unable to judge the relative distance between themselves and the environment (1 trail)

• 20.Flips the morals of the people affected for three trials (Morals become the opposite)
• 21.Allows those affected to taste with their palms and fingertips (1 trial)
• 22.In the area of effect a strong wind picks up, which blows continuously (3 trials)
• 23.All people affected swap genders for a full three trials. Pregnant women become pregnant men (with functioning uterus) but cannot and will not give birth for the duration of the change. The pregnancy is halted for the duration. All women changed into men can reproduce, but the men who became women cannot become pregnant.
• 24.The affected will be plagued by continuous itching of a part of their skin. The place of the itch may relocate itself. (1 trial)
• 25.The skin, shoes and clothes of all those affected becomes extremely slippery, effectively negating grip and friction (5 bits)
• 26.The sense of direction of everyone affected is severely inhibited and they become unable to walk in, point to, or speak of the direction they mean (1 break)
• 27.All those affected will find that their control over their body is being overwritten, (does not affect breathing, internal organs, or the eyes), linking the impulse coming from the brain for one set of muscles to another. (So trying to lift your arm might cause you to clench your butt cheeks) (3 bits)
• 28.Those affected will immediately vomit when they try to eat or drink, but they do not grow thirsty or hungry. (3 trials)

• 33.Anyone affected will start to secrete ink from their palms, which makes quite a mess. The ink can be washed off with water, however. (1 break)
• 34.Causes all people in the area of effect to believe they are the same individual. The individual will be chosen from the people within the area of effect. The affected will know the name of the individual, and will be absolutely convinced they are that person. They do not adopt the mannerisms, personality, likes and dislikes, or appearance of the chosen individual. The knowledge gained through this effect disappears when the effect wears off. (3 trials)
• 35.Causes those affected to speak in rhymes. The affected do not have to stick to any one rhyme scheme, but they will find that if they do not form rhymes, they will suffer from stomach ache and pain in their jaw. (2 trials)
• 36.Turns the hair on the affected their scalp and face into flames. These flames are purely aesthetic and do not burn the affected or anything or anyone else. The flames cannot be doused for extended periods of time, and their size and intensity reflects the wearer’s mood. The light they give off varies on their size and intensity. The color of the flame depends on the individual. (3 trials)
• 37.Makes all those affected by the ability really hard to see so they are nearly invisible (think really, really good camouflage) (1 break)
• 38.All non-alcoholic beverages within range turn alcoholic, and all (originally) alcoholic beverages turn into vinegar
• 39.Makes it rain slugs and worms in the area of effect (3trials)
• 40.Makes it rain, snow or hail inside buildings in the area of effect (3 trails)

• 44.Causes all arrows and crossbow bolts in the area of effect to turn into carrots (3 trials)
• 45.Whenever an affected person looks into a reflective surface, the mirror-image will climb out of the reflective surface. (Only one clone per person can exist at a time). Their personality is the complete opposite of that of the affected person, and they will be unable to be more than 10 meters apart from the affected. As long as the clone exists, the affected will have no reflection. (the clone ceases to exist after 3 trials, and the effect wears off after 3 trials as well)
• 46.The target becomes twice as strong, which brings with it advantages and disadvantages. Muscle cramping occurs faster, as do injuries related to overworking the muscles. The target might not be used to their new strength and find that the world around them is far more fragile. They need to take care not to tear their bodies apart by careless use of their new strength. (Doubles the strength skill) (lasts half a trial)
• 47.Moving through the area of effect will be a lot harder, as if the air had been replaced by molasses (3trials)
• 48.Causes any object the affected reaches for to slip slightly out of reach. (1 trial)
• 49.Allows the affected people to fly up to two meters in the air (1 trial)
• 50.Transforms all humanoid creatures in the area into chickens. They will be able to understand normal chickens as well as the other affected, but will be unable to speak with or understand unaffected humanoids. (Becomers are also stuck. Becomers who had taken on a non-humanoid shape will be unaffected) (3 breaks)
• 51.The affected switch places with another affected individual at random.
• 52.All affected will go delusional, hearing the voices of plants, fruits and vegetables in their mind for a trial.
• 53.Swaps light and dark in the area of effect. Light sources now radiate darkness, and shadows are patches of light. Likewise, day and night are effectively switched. (3 trials)

• 55.Sprouts a large amount of cactuses, regardless of underground or terrain.
• 56.Causes the affected to swap appearances with another randomly chosen affected individual (appearances are not necessarily swapped in pairs. E.g.: A can become B, while B becomes D, C becomes A, and D becomes C) (3 trails)
• 57.Causes the affected to speak in reverse (3 trials)
• 58.Charges those affected with static electricity so that every time they touch a metal object, they get zapped (only zaps upon the initial touch, so as long as someone does not let go of the object, they will not get zapped again by it) 3 trails
• 59.All metal loses its rigidity (3 trials)
• 60.All those affected start to dance for 5 bits
• 61.All those affected find themselves unable to move (except for breathing and blinking) for 5 bits.
• 62.All insects and arachnids in range grow 10 times larger (3 trials)

• 67.Causes all drinks in the area to become swamp water (3 trials)
• 68.Causes the skin of those affected to slowly transform into bark over the course of 1 trial. Trial 2 will be spent completely transformed, and then the changes will revert over the next trial. (Lasts 3 trials in total)
• 69.Turns all loose rocks into bread, and all bread into rocks. (3 trials)
• 70.Grants the affected the power to split bodies of liquid in two through sheer force of will (larger bodies of liquid require more concentration and a higher meditation skill) (3 trials)
• 71.Grants the affected the ability to walk on water (3trials)
• 72.Makes all affected unable to physically interact with their surroundings and causes them to hover above the ground. (They become like ghosts, in that they can be seen or heard, but cannot touch anything as they will just phase through objects.) (1 break)
• 73.Though the rush of divine energy and exhaustion associated with the activation of the ability remain, nothing happens.
• 74.All bladed weapons turn into an equally large blade of grass. (3 trials)
• 75.Those affected start to uncontrollably secrete some slimy mucus from their skin, much like a snail. It hardens in extreme cold, and dries into a crust in hotter temperatures. Very good for moisturizing. (3 trials)
• 76.All affected start to foam uncontrollably at the mouth, though apart from that they are mentally and physically unchanged. (one break)
• 77.All fabric becomes flexible metal, and all metal becomes rigid fabric (3 trials)
• 78.The affected area will develop several holes in the ground, which will periodically release a foul stench (3 trials)
• 79.Topples every creature within the area of effect.
• 80.Rocks the area of effect (like an earthquake) for 3 bits

• 85.Creates a blindingly bright flash
• 86.Gathers a whole lot of the surrounding Spirits of Mischief within the area of effect, heightening the paranormal activity in the area. This creates powerful poltergeist-like phenomenon. (3trails)
• 87.Speeds up the affected creatures. Their speed is doubled. They will age twice as fast, burn nutrients twice as fast (and thus get hungry twice as fast), speak twice as fast, move twice as fast, and grow tired twice as fast. The speed of everything they do is doubled. (1.5 trials)
• 88.The underground in the area of effect will start to ripple and roll as if it were a calm ocean. (3 trials)
• 89.Changes the colors within the area of effect. (The sky might turn red or purple, the grass blue, etc…) (3 trials)
• 90.Causes the teeth of the affected to become pointy and sharp, and transforms their nails into tough claws. (3 trails)
• 91.Spawns a 4 inch thick layer of sand within the area of effect. Disappears automatically after 3 trials.
• 92.Turns the environment in the area of effect invisible (3 trials)
• 93.Causes the affected to grow a tail (3 trails)

• 99.Switches the seasons in the area of effect. Vhalar becomes Zi’da, Saun becomes Cylus, Ymiden turns into Ashan, and vice versa. (3trials)
• 100.All creatures affected grow two extra upper limbs. (3 trials)

Thrill

Thrill Control
As the Mortalborn of Thrill, Bran can raise or lower the thrill of the creatures around him. Its range is limited to a 5 meter radius, but any who enter fall under Bran’s control. It is not as though this is done directly however. To lower the sense of thrill and excitement of others, Bran effectively leeches off of the thrill of other people/creatures, adding it to his own. The leeched “thrill” is far more potent than normal, further enhancing the effects adrenaline has on the body (enhances reflexes, strength, endurance, dynamic vision, senses, the brain’s processing power, and dulls pain) while also placing the target in a state of euphoria (varying degrees depending on the amount of thrill) and, in too high doses, gives them a feeling of invincibility. The mortalborn can pass this thrill to others within range, at the cost of lowering the thrill of himself. The euphoria felt can make this ability somewhat addictive.

By sapping the thrill of others or himself, the sapped target is placed in an “energy saving mode”. This lowers the body’s heartrate, blood flow, breathing, metabolism, etc… effectively coaxing the target into a sleep akin to hibernation for a certain duration (if enough thrill is sapped), which is determined by the amount of thrill sapped. Additionally, sapped targets that do not fall into a comatose state (occurs when not enough thrill is sapped) will find themselves feel weak (but are not per se weakened) and lethargic, and might be prone to falling asleep when they sit or lie down.

The excess thrill proves to be quite taxing for the body and mind, always leading to exhaustion in varying degrees after exposure to it. Muscles are tired, stiff and sore from the sheer tension and readiness introduced, the mind’s normal working speed feels slow –which might very well be the case—and the senses are dulled to some extent. The user needs to sap the thrill of creatures within range to boost his own and vice versa, thus being unable to buff himself or others without a source to draw from. After the effects of the "energy saving mode" wear off, the target will feel revitalized and refreshed, though might need nourishment depending on the duration of their comatose state.
(Max duration comatose state: 1 break. Max duration lethargy/”energy save mode” 2 breaks)

Larceny

God Key

God Key
An ability as useful as it is simple, God Key can open anything that can be opened. Doors, whether just closed, barricaded, or locked will swing open immediately. Of course, the ability is not limited to doors alone. Anything that can be opened will be opened by God Key, if the user so desires. (Windows, locks, vaults, Alladin’s cave, portals that just closed, manacles, buckles, etc) Only one thing can be opened by the ability at a time (one use= one thing opens), and the ability cannot be used from afar. The user needs to be at least within two meters of whatever they desire to use the ability on.

The ability requires a key to work. If no key is nearby, the ability will fail to activate. Upon use, the key will emit a soft heat and lose its shape slightly, appearing as a melted version of itself. This renders the used key useless as it will no longer fit in the lock it was meant to open. Due to the loss of the key’s property to open its lock, that key can no longer be used to activate the God Key ability. The ability will always use the key closest to the user, unless the user actively wants it to use a specific one. The key must be within a 5 meter radius of the user.

Touch And Transfer

Touch and Transfer -- Storage of Stolen Goods

A thief has deep pockets, so it stands to reason that the Mortalborn of Larceny has the deepest pockets of all. This ability, at first glance, allows for Oberan to store things inside his own body, however, this is not the case. Instead the items go to a previously designated area (Vault), where they remain until they are brought back out. In order to accomplish this, two conditions need to be met. Oberan needs to be in contact with the object (though it needn’t touch his skin) and the object needs to be able to fit through the opening that is his body in one way or another. The transfer itself is an instantaneous occurrence in which the targeted item or object will disappear from its position and appear in the Vault.

Objects are transferred back to Oberan through instantaneous materialization of the object in contact with the user’s body, this usually being the palm of the hand. Just like the transfer into the Vault, the objects that return do so in contact with the body. The other option is for Oberan to physically reach into his body to pull the desired item out, but this causes discomfort, looks disturbing, and is also somewhat painful. The materialization of heavier objects out of the Vault takes a couple seconds (depending on just how heavy they are), whereas lightweight objects are instantly materialized.

The Vault is a container of sorts with a volume of 1000 cubic meters where all transferred objects are sent to be stored until they are brought back out. To Designate an area as a Vault, Oberan has to be familiar with the place and consider it safe. The Mortalborn must then pour his power into the area. This usually takes 4 breaks where intense focus is required, but it is more feasible to inject small amounts over the course of multiple trials, as the process is quite taxing. While the Vault does not make the area inaccessible, items brought into it by the ability cannot be brought out by any other means than the ability itself, or the Dismantling of the Vault by the Mortalborn. If any item leaves the confines of the Vault, through other means than the ability, said item will be immediately transported back into the Vault.

Dismantling requires the presence of the Mortalborn just like Designating does. However, whereas Designating is taxing and time-consuming, Dismantling is quite the opposite. While focus is still required, it takes only a couple minutes at most, and the power used to Dismantle is negligible compared to the cost to designate.

Caveats:

The ability cannot be used preemptively, as it needs a target and contact with said target to successfully activate. Multiple objects can be brought in or out at once, though all need to make contact with the user. If a target is too large to store (eg: a wardrobe), the ability simply will not activate. Objects cannot be materialized if the spawn location is already occupied by a solid object/creature.This ability does not work on living people and creatures, though it does on plants (not Tunawa). Items are transferred in one piece. The storage ability will not activate if the Vault is too full. A Vault must be created before the ability can be used. No more than 1 Vault can exist at a time.

Approval

Other

God Seal
Just as the use of God Key allows for Oberan to unlock any door/seal he chooses, God Seal is a power that functions almost exactly the same but with the opposite effect. Born from embodying the Guardian of Orimar for a brief amount of time, this ability allows Oberan to utilize a key to create a permanent lock on any door/container in the world, one only he is able to unlock by utilizing the God Key power at his disposal; like God Key any keys used in this process is consumed and rendered useless.
Earned here.

Possession Control
Having been possessed by the Guardian, Oberan now has far greater control over any allowed or attempted possession by a lesser spirit. Mostly this refers to the ghost skill. An allowed possession is nearly instantaneous, and is far more agile and effective. Only a ghostly Master of Possession would be able to usurp unwilling control of Oberan completely, and it would take a struggle of a few bits to accomplish.
Earned here.

Echo of the Guardian
Every now and then Oberan will have an episode; where he'll randomly hear the sound of static (much like a rupturing portal) or faint whispers. This being due to the fact he and The Guardian shared a body/mind briefly, and later opened a portal in the entity's name.

Housing

Oberan lives currently in the Outer Perimeter of Etzos, in the North West quadrant. It is close to the river should he need water, or dispose of his waste. It also allows an easy escape into the wilderness if it would come to that, though surviving in the wild is a problem in and of itself. Nevertheless, the half-baked contingency plan does give him some peace of mind. The building itself is an adobe structure of about 400 square feet. It exists of a small hallway, a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a small storage room. It has one upper floor, where the latter two rooms are situated. For now, the storage room also serves as a bathroom. The whole house is spartan in decorations and furniture, including only the necessities such as: one bed, two chairs, one table, two knives, a set of six plates (assorted), one chest, and a fireplace.

Prized Possession

Oberan's Sling

This leather sling was made by Oberan himself, crafted not long before he was thrown in jail. The sling itself isn't really special, just a leather patch with leather cords at the sides. However, it was crafted using the method Divolt taught Bran during his youth, and as such the sling does not only serve as a weapon, but also as a memento of his past. When not used, the sling is wound around Oberan's right wrist, looking like an odd bracelet of sorts.
