Starter Quest

Your mother had always been a mystery to you, something that was ever in reach but further away than the stars. A chanced event with your father clarified much of your questions and even gave you a small image of who she was as a person. However, your Sev'ryn nature sought to find the roots of your heritage and while your father sent you on your way with his blessing, he also provided a small clue, a letter, that would help lead you to Desnind.

The letter was addressed to your father from your Aunt, Najina, who had requested some time ago to see you. Due to family conflicts, he felt it best to stay away from his wife's homeland but now that you're venturing out into the world, those ideals have changed. Apparently the family that your mother hailed from was quite respected within the Sev'ryn community. How much standing did they have, one cannot be too sure. Nevertheless, your Aunt Najina would like to meet you and teach you the Way of the People.

  • 400 Small +1WP
  • 450 Medium +3 Endurance
  • 500 Large Signature Item A pair of dancing shoes. Red ones - leather ankle boots made from soft, supple leather of Good + Quality.

When she wears them, they appear to be normal shoes - however - whenever she dances, the music that she is hearing in her head / imagining is heard, playing for all. This can be very quiet or up to the volume of a full orchestra - depending on what Vega is imagining in her mind.

Upon hearing the music play - which continues as long as Vega is dancing - those who are allied to her are afforded a boost. In order to be affected by this they must be allied with her, AND be working towards a common goal. If that is the case, then she and her allies will find themselves surrounded by an individual armour which functions as full plate, but is weighless, totally flexible and invisible to the naked eye other than a ripple of air waves which it is, in fact, made up from.

Item/Legendary Mount: Safesong Sails

A small stone horse made from glittering crystals, rather like the Stone Horse in the Point Bank. When Vega activates this, which she can do once a day, two things happen.

1. Up to five children within Vega's line of sight / rought area has a spirit-horse appear literally underneath them. (this would be the mount - which will be something Vega actually can't ride) 2. The spirit-horse takes the children to a closed area of Emea, named "Safesong Sails", a sort of "Basecamp"-like place (as per Cassion's favoured mark) but the children will be in a bright and cheerful tent where their physical needs are met (food, beds, etc), there are learning and playing equipment, and, most importantly, they are safe. Safesong Sails is run by a Mrs Doubtfire-esque "Matron" who is comforting and soothing to frightened children, stern with sassy teens and so on. Only Vega and one other person of her choosing may enter Safesong Sails - once she has chosen that person, it can not be changed.

A silk flag made with Weaver Silk which has exquisite embroidery crafted with lunar silk which means that the embroidery glows like metal. The background of the flag is a deep navy blue, like the sky at dusk and the embroidery is a constellation of stars that form a dragon. The colours on the embroidery seem to constantly shift and change.

In order for this item to be activated, two criteria need to be met. Firstly, the flag must be flying and secondly, Vega must be currently residing in the location. It will work on a boat or a camp or even (should she ever reside in one) in a house. The ability is able to affect an area roughly a mile from the flag itself. It creates a sense of community cohesion and a feeling of determination and hopefulness. It does more than negate fear, it promotes positivity and gives people a deepened sense of "clan" identity.

The impact on those in the area is that they have a shared sense of identity, of community, and they work together better. There is less conflict, more co-operation and people are, basically, happier, more hopeful and getting on better. This translates to a drive to get on and work and impacts PCs and NPCs thus:

NPCs: Learn and develop skills more quickly. In the case of personal NPCs, once they have met the criteria for skill improvement, rather than 10 points per season, they gain 15. City NPCs who are used in the same way (2 x threads per season) may also be improved in this way, with moderator approval.

PCs: PCs who are working towards the goal of the clan are given more support, more help. Things happen quicker and more efficiently for that reason. PCs who are actively using skills that benefit the "clan" and are doing so with NPCs / PCs of the "clan" - may assume that the task is less difficult and by everything going smoothly and people helping, everything falls together more easily. This allows the task to be easier / a stroke of luck /teamwork to mean that the task is completed in 50% of the time OR to 2 levels higher a standard than they could otherwise achieve.

A malorite ring which, twice a season (four times a cycle) Vega can activate and it will create a circular barrier - at Vega's chest height - of what seems to be malorite, but is in fact some kind of energy. This shield is impenetrable to all but the most powerful attacks and is the equivalent of being a two-foot thick wall of metal in terms of physical defence. Magic and marks below Champion or Revealed do not work against it. and will last as long as Vega stands. No magic or attacks can be cast out of it and Vega (or whoever is wearing / activating the ring) has to keep the ring perfectly still or cracks in the defence will appear. It can be as close as 2 ft away from her, or as far as 150 foot away.

Mortalborn Parent Story

Lei'nox adored Jo'qan (Vega's father) with every ounce of her soul and there was no doubt in her mind. She knew that he was the one for her and she left with him without hesitation. For all that her temper was quick and her tongue sharp, she loved her husband with everything.

Which is why she never told him.

Lei'nox and Joq'an had been to a biqaj gathering; no one from Joq'an's former clan, of course, but still it was good for him to be among his own people, she knew. There were lots of biqaj there and Joq'an had been drawn into a game ~ some kind of card game or such. Lei'nox had gone to stand and look at the ocean, looking south to Desnind. She missed her home, her people, her family. She knew her place was here at her husband's side and she did not regret her decision, but still. She missed her home. Hearing a sound behind her, she turned to look as one of the biqaj males approached her. She'd seen him throughout the night, with his dark red hair and his eyes which seemed to almost flicker. He smiled at her ~ not a pleasant expression ~ and as his hand closed over her throat, he spoke the only two words she ever heard from him.

"Hello, pretty."

Joq'an had already lost so much and Lei'nox knew that he would end up tearing the world apart to find the man who forced himself on her that night, and so she never told him. Fear filled her when she found out she was pregnant, but she kept her secret and took it with her to her grave. She'd had no idea that the man who had raped her was Faldrun, she thought him to simply be a biqaj male. For his part, Faldrun saw, wanted, and took. Then, of course, he forgot.

Emotions

Fire Forged Ability When Vega looses her temper, she becomes immune to fire. She is able to walk on hot coals, or through flames, and whilst doing the latter would burn through her clothes, she would be untouched. As her skill in meditation increases (I've chosen this one, cos she's currently rubbish at it - she has a high Discipline), she'll be able to turn this ability on and off. At Expert, she'll start to gain some control, but not until she has mastered Meditation will she have complete control over this. When she does, it will last for 1 break maximum and, after she's used it she will be shaky and emotional. Small sparks of fire - like embers flying from a fire - will spark from her now and then for the break following using this power.

Children

Lullabye

When she sings, Vega is able to heal children. This might be from a wound, or a disease but she must be singing and it must be a child (15 or under). The more complex the illness / issue, the longer she has to do this - a child who has died in the last ten minutes can be brought back but it must be no more than 10 minutes ago. Simple things such as a single cut will take five minutes of singing - whereas more complicated issues can involve up to an hour or more. The cost of this is that Vega takes on the pain the child was in and will have the physical sensation of the symptoms (although not the disease / cuts themselves) whenever she uses this ability. It will cause the physical pain the child was in and Vega will bleed from her nose, ears and / or eyes. If the child was dead, Vega will not die, but she will experience the death itself, and all the pain it caused.

Rhythm

Tempo Ability

Unlike her father, the Immortal of Turmoil, Vega is able to see the rhythm in a given situation. In combat, in her innate musical talent, in dancing or even in her worship, Vega is able to see the patterns and sense the rhythm in any circumstance. However, in order to do that, she needs to step back and take a clear look at the situation. With this ability, Vega is able to slow the tempo of a situation down, so long as she is playing an instrument or singing. When she is doing this, she is able to manipulate the tempo of a combat. This impacts up to three people and allows Vega to either speed up the tempo, for them (thus making them faster moving) or slowing it down (thus, slower). In practical terms, it allows her to speed up or slow down up to three individuals in a combat by a factor of 50%. This must be either speeding up, or slowing down and can not be both at once.
