The Khomagas, known colloquially as "Empty Killers", are the Stelmaine empire's elite assassins, regarded by most citizens as ghost stories and urban legends often told to children as boogeymen to warn against disobeying parents or staying out too late. Only the Empire's elite are aware that the Khomagas truly exist. Even the spies of the Jade Spirits have difficulty verifying the truth about the Empty killers. The Khomagas answer directly to Master Treble Kiidit of the Phoenix Order.
The Khomagas are mages, hidden spies, and executioners, a clandestine organization of arcane assassins and enforcers.
Every few years, Treble Kiidit returns to Talentailia to select worthwhile students to recruit into the Khomagas. The headmaster of the Academy, Zifan Fulyar keeps an eye out for prospects. At Treble's summer home in a hidden underground facility, Treble uses experimental mental conditioning, which he calls "awakening," to groom the students to obey orders unquestioningly and kill mercilessly. Many students simply go mad and are locked away or killed, but those who endure become Khomagas
As part of the "awakening", Khomagas receive implants made of ruunem to strengthen the students' magical abilities. In the process, the ruunem crystals leave noticeable scars across the skin. The arms, legs, sometimes faces of the Khomagas are covered with black maze-like tattoos.
(Intimidation aswell as hiding the Ruunem scars)
If you want to play you'd be making a fresh Khomagas, or a rookie. Point being they have been through training and "awakening" to become (or soon to become) active agents.
Character creation
You have free reign in making a character, the sheet is in the spoiler below and I'd like you to PM your CS to me so we can finish it. (Like how you pick a tragedy there's some more things to choose from)

(Picture and description please)
Talents:
Flaws:
Magic Speciality: (what this character is good at, as apart of Awakening ruunem crystals have been embedded into your flesh to help strengthen said speciality.)
Background:
This comes from stuff you will need to pick from below.
Happy people aren't selected to join the Khomagas. The Phoenix Order preys upon talented individuals who have been broken by tragedy - in some cases, tragedy that the Khomagas has arranged for. A slightly broken mind is more easily reshaped and reeducated. Choose the tragedy that set you on this path,
pick one of these for your character.
Familicide. Through deceit or manipulation, the Khomagas convinced you to slaughter your own family.
Amnesia. You were forced to study magic so potent that it strained your mind beyond mortal limits, stealing away the memories of your past.
Capture. You were captured and tortured by agents of the Jareedi Dynasty and barely escaped.
Starvation. A terrible blight afflicted your rural village, and many of your friends and family members starved to death. You survived, but only barely.
Disfigurement. One of your arcane experiments went wrong and scarred or dismembered you so gravely that others now shun you. Only the Khomagas showed you kindness after that day.
Vicissitude. You were once the scion of a wealthy family who lost their entire fortune in the blink of an eye.
