Folklore-Frith BIG HIMBOS SUPREMACY, only real ones get it. if you don't like himbos don't @ me. but thanks aaa!! they'll probably carry the shorter characters on their shoulders,, AS THEY SHOULD

 

[Chimeric]

Another question, or questions rather, so sorry if it gets annoying, but having read the lore I feel it necessary to ask if I can use the face claim I have had for this character? It isn't a problem for me as I can make a different character, reading everything has inspired several character ideas, the character I really enjoy uses a Korean face claim and I feel that might be problematic to your world.

I would also like to know if sailing, knowledge of the waters/sea, etc. can be useful to your intended dynamic? My character comes from two parents who left their homes to be pirates more or less, living independently and also appealing to authorities when it would otherwise end in their imprisonment or death. They aren't evil or do goodness, very much rogue and bard like, and by their hand my character is raised much the same. But I wanted to ask as I didn't see a big mention of sailing, boats, or water transport and trade.

hey, it's no problem! thank you for asking, but it's alright if you use a korean faceclaim since it's not inspired by han and tang dynasty china only; i should've specified that nai sie is also a nation with different regions and ethnic groups!

it would absolutely be useful, given that they have to cross waters to get to the other nations. there also might be a mission where they would have to be on a boat/be in the water.

 

[mother of sorrows]

Folklore-Frith i mean velivir is like... 6'4" so they can still join forces just ride a himbo to battle why not

also, about bena - you mentioned in her cs that she talks to nebove, right? i think i got that right. 0: but aa,, nebove and the rest of the major gods are asleep! so they aren't really in contact with humanity. only the minor gods are as of now.

HELP she's gonna hate some of these missions

 

[Folklore-Frith]

HELP she's gonna hate some of these missions

I SALIVATE.
this girl spent half her time on a ship going back and forth between her mom and dad so she's like in LOVE with open water. The moment she's required to be on anything other than a large secure ship??? It's a No.
That being said, this girl No Longer Swims Unless It's In A Very Large And Luxurious Bathtub Someone Hold Her

ALSO gms: is it okay if Bennie still talks to Nebove? I don't think she'd care if they were asleep or not, she just needed some space to talk, even if that space was empty air and endless stars. If it's a total 100% no, thats totally okay! ^^

 

[mother of sorrows]

Folklore-Frith i mean you can say that, just... nebove wouldn't hear or interact back, so she would be kind of talking to air. but i mean, you can say she thinks she's talking to nebove or just airing eveything out! nebove just isn't there to talk back.

Also, poor her - she's not gonna enjoy a mission we have in mind rest in pieces bennie, the trauma is gonna be a lot

 

[Chimeric]

Oh lady seer if I get approved I got some rad plotting, ideas I wanna throw at you as this duo has fought a sea serpent... sort of...

I also wanna ask, being that magic is limited, if certain aspects of his background can be adjusted to a sea serpent and if needed to retrieve a similar magical item in the background provided below from his original form. (I am only including the piece that matters in question so you are not like, please God that's way too long). Please note things like being a siren, while will be a theme for them, will be changed to just a theme, they will be humans for this thread. The countries will also be changed to match the nations of the world. I am asking specifically about Seiryu, and the Pearl, and if Hwi could know of a little magic. If you see anything else problematic and not yet addressed I would love to know!

Father: Martim Candorosa
Mother: Hwi Kim
Character: Faustus Kim Candorosa

Trigger warning for mentions of cannibalism. In the first paragraph and a later one. Cannibalism will not be a part of the background officially going into my application.

Spoiler: How I Met Your Mother

Faust's father, Martim Candorosa, came from off the southern coasts of Portugal. Like the stories we hear about sirens, much of his life was raised around luring sailors from their ships to their watery deaths. Bonus points if they could cause the whole ship to wreck. Martim's colony were warlike and territorial, they also devoured humans and sometimes consumed their enemies. This cannibalism can occur in their early stages of life, as when some siblings are born, they will devour their brother or sister for extra nutrients. After early development, such cannibalism fades, no longer a problem for the colony. It was regarded as something natural, and the butt of jokes. Your mom probably told you once or twice she wished your sister had eaten you (instead of you eating her).

Martim would grow bored of his life in the colony, where his soul always seemed to yearn for adventure. Eventually he would put this ambition into reality, leaving his colony like a legend; having manipulated a ship's crew to throw half of itself overboard and the other half worship his word as their new captain. A few sirens from the colony would also join him, and they would set off, travelling around the shores of Africa. Much of their small adventures were that of your fantasy pirate crew. They raided, they pillaged, they all had booty- even some of the human members though their treasure trove rarely met half the size of their siren mates. Sea monsters and other creatures would fall into their path and they would battle.

Faust's mother, Hwi Kim, lived around the coasts and waterways of Korea. She was not just a siren, but someone capable of sorcery. Originally she was sought to help with miracle remedies and advice for things that seemed otherwise impossible. You could hear her beautiful voice, reaching out for those who needed her magic and wisdom. She often helped these wanderers regardless of status. It was respectful, and expected, to be thanked or compensated in some way for her services. It was believed she would eat or drown rude and disrespectful visitors. Some believed she had her own sanctuary like abode, decorated with all the thanks she received, and others said that she could appear to you in any body of water.

There came a time where a maiden girl asked for her help regarding the illness of a prince she loved, and Hwi told her what she needed to do. The girl left without thanking her, and Hwi called back to ask if she was forgetting something- giving her the chance to offer a simple "thank you." The girl remembered leaving her scarf, retrieved it without thanking her again and carried on. This left a sour taste in Hwi's mouth and it would bite the girl later. The absence of thanks was not only taken offensively, but it affecting the girl's scarf, as if a magical rule had been broken and punishment would be due later. The prince would be healed as per the girl following through with Hwi's instructions. A battle would take place shortly after where the prince became wounded, the girl ran to his aid and tried to blot a serious wound with the scarf. But where the scarf touched only seemed to worsen and open the wound more, subsequently killing him. Overcome with emotion the girl set out and found Hwi again and asked how this could happen, and if there was some other way to bring him back. Hwi explained that this was a result of her poor manners the first time she visited.

Hwi treated the girl like a confused teenager, where normally she would have drowned or eaten rude visitors. She instead comforted her for this misfortune. It may have been because at this time she was also carrying a child of her own. After being somewhat comforted and leaving without a way to bring back her love, the girl was still enraged, blamed Hwi and convinced the prince's clan that she bewitched her scarf. She would lead a hunting party to Hwi's domain and the siren would now be known as an evil sorceress, faulted for the consequences of a girl travelling under her advice. Initially shocked, she would evade attacks while her place was being invaded and damaged, and one warrior would slash her belly and child. Knowing what the wound has done, wide eyed and now enraged herself, she transformed into a leviathan like creature cementing herself as an evil sorceress. The hunting party would fall and this would be the last time any human would see Hwi and live, sparing the girl, cursing her to always hear her deceased love's voice. Hwi left, and after terorizing the coast on her way out, left Korea.

Martim and Hwi would meet on the Sea of Japan. Hwi and Martim actually went toe to toe as pirate crew and sea serpent; Martim here on one of his adventures, Hwi here to find Seriyu. When Martim's ship began to collapse on itself, Hwi shifted to a human (siren) form having realized that Martim and some members of the ship were also sirens. She offered to fix the ship in return with helping her take Seriyu's pearl. Martim called her bluff, where Hwi responded making the ship repaired just enough to continue floating. The terms were accepted and when it was all said and done; there were some deceased members, a sad looking ship, an angry sea, and Seriyu's pearl in Hwi's hands reflecting two wicked grins.

With Hwi, Martim found he didn't need the extra help, and so letting go of his crew mates was fine by him as they went to steal their own ships and minions for their own adventures. A comical, snarky romance and partnership developed between these two. And the next important adventure happens in the middle of the Atlantic.

The City of Atlantis was formidable, not unlike the raid on Seriyu's palace in Japan, and while some souvenirs and treasures were looted, they also brought upon themselves some issues of the magical kind and barely got out with their lives. Hwi could not do much more even in her own prowess besides determine the life expectency of the ship before it would simply quit moving. This prompted a "where do you want to retire" as Hwi also revealed she was with child. Fun fact, the reason she was after Seriyu's pearl was so that she could use it's magic to conceive and carry children again where her attack in Korea had nulled her ability to produce children. In the end they settled their boat off the Florida Keys and started making a home out of it and the things they have looted and loot in th future. Martim making trips to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico for food, supplies, and more loot. Guess the adventure never really retires.

oh yeah definitely! definitely just airing everything out! I totally didn't indend for Nebove to talk back at any point! she doesn't have anyone to talk to about the heavy stuff so she kinda just gives it to the world to hold, ya know? Shit gets heavy after a while. I will update her sheet!

edit: Give Me The Trauma. You Get Her On A Boat And She Will Climb The Himbo, Do Not Test Her.

just one question while i'm still processing! sorry, my brain is a little all over the place rn but: what kind of magic would this entail? the monsters within the land of drasira do have magical powers themselves, but the magic/powers can't be harvested--nor can their magic really be put into something else.

magic in this world is mainly through incantations/spells from ancient text, as well as passed down artifacts that were previously charmed(? idk if that's the proper word, eng isn't my first lang); these artifacts, however, don't have as much power as they used to have. sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for! i got a bit confused.

 

[Chimeric]

No this is good, I was asking about how magical aspects worked in the world, aside from the 4 lost artifacts and monsters mentioned, and how or if I could substitute or shape the magical aspects mentioned in my original text to fit the world. So for example, Seiryu the Azure Dragon would be something different in this world if it is acceptable to do so. Maybe instead of a Asian lung dragon he is a sea serpent or another similar creature that would be encountered in the world.

However this may be different in regards to the "pearl" as you mentioned it is an unlikely thing to exist, and any substitution, as magic cannot be harvested from monsters or magical items or if it is it isn't so strong that it can make a woman who couldn't carry children before able to carry.

May I ask if she then tries to find an ancient text, incantation, that could help with that?

oh! yes, the pearl would not exist in this world given that the power cannot be harvested; the magic (pre-existing, possibly from remaining texts) wouldn't be as strong to be able to make a woman carry a child when unable to--unless an ancient text is in fact found (which would very well be difficult, given that a lot of of these have been ripped, damaged, etc.). i do have something that could lead to kind of a rumored place (that is, actually an underwater--abandoned city) that could possibly have an ancient text of that sort. i'm not sure if that makes any sense, so please correct me if i got what you're asking wrong!
