Hey everyone!!

 

[ithinkcat]

Hey there DatBoi. You got a character idea yet?

Vampunk
Are you planning on writing any lore about the southern lands for us to use for guidance, or are you leaving things up to our characters to flesh things out?

 

[Vampunk]

I'm glad you asked.
Yes, that'll be added to the extra pages.

Hey! I was actually thinking a creepy ass necromancer who’s actually a Mum friend™, that sort of thing. You?

I'm glad you asked.
Yes, that'll be added to the extra pages.

Awesome. Looking forward to it.

 

[Vampunk]

I'll add to the lore once I introduce key concepts so that you guys have a nice and easy way to read up on some crucial details^^

Lol, you sure necromancers and the undead aren't on the list of "ancient evils" we're supposed to be fighting? I do like the subversion of the expected stereotype for a necromancer by making him/her protective of their friends. Usually people play them as self-interested jerks.

I'm making a religious monk struggling with her training and going through a tiny existential crisis. She serves an older religion that forbids evangelism and has waned in the past couple hundred years to the point of almost going extinct. She wants to keep her faith alive but is having trouble figuring out how to do that without being able to preach, advertise, or otherwise recruit others. Something along those lines. Still working on it.

Thanks for adding that stuff to the lore page.

Are pets allowed? Am currently entertaining the possibility of giving my character one for scouting purposes.

That sounds really cool. I would binge read a book wherein she’s the protagonist, to be honest.

I was thinking along the lines of Necromancy just being one of the many branches of magic a mage can be born to follow. There’s nothing actually dark about it, it’s just that it has negative connotations among other mages and the general public.

That’s all assuming it’s ok with the GM, though.

Lol, thank you. Flattery is an acceptable form of currency.

I guess it depends on your definition of necromancy. Is your version of necromancy simply animating dead flesh and bones like puppets? Something more akin to telekinesis (in which case why are your powers limited to dead and dying things and not just full on telekinesis). Or is your version actually raising the dead? Binding their souls back to their rotting vessels and enslaving them. I'd say actually raising the dead crosses the line into playing god and playing out one's tyrannical inclinations which one could argue is objectively badong.

The limitations of necromancy would be very toned down from what they can be portrayed as, traditionally. It’s similar to the first one you mentioned; no souls are involved at all. I haven’t got it fully worked out yet, I’m still trying to make sure it doesn’t cross the ‘overpowered’ line xD

Would it even be necromancy then and not just some conjuring of sorts?
I'm not sure if something that's clearly being used by the enemy to wreak destruction would be something they'd want in their ranks.

 

[Setting In a Hanimu]

Oh, boy! I accidentally posted my app here at first LOL Vampunk do you mind checking if it's all okay? I made up a bunch of doodads about a smaller kingdom down south (the lore did say Myvernia is subdivided into smaller kingdoms), as well as a specific arcane art. Hope that's okay! If not, let me know how I can change the thing

Well, you’re the GM. I’ll think of something else

Got everything done but my bio. Sorry it's been taking me a while. I've actually been trying to flesh out her spiritual beliefs ahead of time so it has some consistency (though only a few details are explicit in the profile). Also, wrote way too much detail under skills probably.
