Character Concept



Through personal tragedy, Kynier desires to abolish slavery by taking control of Sunberth. Despite the outright hatred of magic in Sunberth, he believes a sorcerer is one of the few types of people that can establish any control over the city. The only two that have ever encouraged him were his teacher, and that voice in his head. Aware of the dangers he must face, Kynier has developed a sense of paranoia.

Character History


Hearing about the outlawing of violence, Kynier's parents, Regnier and Alena, moved to Nyka for a safe environment for their family. By the time they fully realized that such a claim had no real enforcement Alena was already pregnant, and leaving would be too dangerous. Regnier worked as a tailor, though the boldness of fashion in Nyka was a challenge to his methods, he managed to have a steady clientele. Alena was a mid-wife, and was able to keep the baby healthy. But the delivery was very difficult, and after Kynier was born his parents decided not to have any more children. Regnier and Alena talked of leaving shortly after Kynier's birth, but with a child to care for they couldn't get enough money to comfortably afford moving.

In his early childhood Kynier made a self discovery. While the other children had imaginary friends to converse with, theirs would eventually disappear, but his didn't. His friend had no tangible form, but manifested only as a voice. When he spoke it was a like a whisper from someone directly behind him. His friend's name, Hashimer. Hashimer always had the best stories; tales of great magic, adventure, and slaying monsters. Kynier loved the stories so much he would boast about them, leading to strained friendships. Overall, Kynier was a bit of a loner as a child and eventually learned to keep was Hashimer said to himself.

When he was ten years old he began to get into fights with older boys. Most of them he would lose for obvious reasons. But that was what happened in Nyka, and Kynier aspired to be one of the Monks when he was old enough. Hashimer encouraged him to train and get stronger. So Kynier would run, climb, jump, flip, and roll around the city to get stronger. And the disappearances became more frequent around his home. Regnier and Alena were getting increadibly scared to continue living in Nyka. Once they learned Kynier wanted to join the Monks they decided they had to leave. Kynier cried and claimed he hated his parents. If he could not be a Monk then he had no idea what he sort of man he would become.


"Your anger is wasted, little one. There are many more things you can be than a simple Monk. But you won't see what they are if you don't leave Nyka." Hashimer said.

Before the season ended they had left Nyka with a caravan headed for Syliras. Many of the travelers were tradesmen claiming to have goods from all over the world. Kynier spent time with each of them to see their wares and hear their stories. Hashimer discredited many of them, dulling Kynier's view. The person that was of most interest was an Akalak mercenary guarding the caravan, Fritren. His large body, long ears, and dark skin were fascinating. But it was Fritren that first told Kynier about Akajia and how the darkness was something to embrace instead of fear.

"Humens has been scared of the dark since before sun rise in sky. Without fire they stumble and cannot see. But few learn that being darkness is best. Everyone see man next to fire. Not every see man in night. With Akajia's blessing even you could see through shadow. And many monster hunt from shadow. Become a strong hunter, or stay a weak Human." Fritren told him.

Each day Kynier would travel next to Fritren asking about where he was from, stories of Akajia, and even learned a few phrases of Tukant. But before the caravan reached Syliras it was ambushed by slavers. Fritren charged the attackers and Kynier ran back to find his parents. But the attackers had quickly set fire to many of the wagons and killed many people. Kynier can still remember the smell of smoke and blood. It felt as though he had searched the entire caravan twice before he found his father lying on the ground. Both sides of his clothes had been soaked through with blood and he had an unending stare of horror in his eyes. Terrified of dying Kynier crawled away from the fire, smoke, blood, and death. Reaching the top of a small hill he looked back.

Many men were gathering a few survivors. Their cries were constant no matter how much they were beaten and told to be silent. Kynier watched as they were chained together, wishing there was something eh could do.


"Be still and silent. Or you'll find that chain around your neck." Hashimer said.

The slavers left with their prize. Only then did Kynier crawl back to the smoldering embers and fly infested scene. Most of the people he had spoke to were dead in the grass. He found his father again and his legs lost their strength. For several bells he just sat there staring and getting sick.


"Get up. Or be dead just like him." Hashimer scolded.

Uneasily Kynier stood up, the nausea from the foul air made his movements sluggish. But he went to what was left of each wagon in search of food and water. Very little was left to be scavaged. But during his search he found Fritren's body. The Akalak had been cut several times and shot with four arrows. A half dozen dead slavers had fallen around him. Kynier thought if it had been night Fritren would've been victorious. Maybe. But still in its sheath on Fritren's side was a short sword. Kynier looked around and couldn't see any of his other weapons. Perhaps if he had managed to draw the small blade he could've saved himself. Kynier unfastened the sheath and took the short sword. Drawing it out the metal looked different than regular weapons. The blade was cold to the touch and a darker hue. Sheathing it and strapping it to his waist Kynier decided it was time to go. He did not know were to go, but he knew he would have to protect himself on the way.

The day was nearly over and he still hadn't found his mother's body. Kynier wanted to stay and keep looking, but Hashimer warned of predators coming to eat the dead. With tears in his eyes Kynier set out in a direction, he did not know which. And for three days he traveled alone before eating the last of his food. Each animal he saw he failed to catch and kill with his sword. His skin burned from the sun and the feeling of filth all over himself diminished his spirit. Kynier lost track of the days he was so hungry. Until one morning he woke up and a man was standing over him. He thought it was a dream, the way the man just stood over him with a smile. "You look like you'd kill for some breakfast," he said.

The old man held out a strip of dried meat with... one of his five arms! Kynier scurried away but the man just laughed. "Boy if I wanted to hurt you then you never would've woken up." Kynier rubbed his eyes. He was not dreaming and the old man actually had six arms, but one of his left arms had been cut off at the elbow. In his right... hands... he held a staff with silver engravings and a glass orb at it's end. "My name's Bourin. And I'm on my way to Syliras, which is two day that way. Unfortunately, I seem to have packed too much food. Would you mind coming with me and helping me eat it?"


"Go with the wizard. And learn what you can."

Kynier took the dried meat and ate it quickly. It did not settle well in his stomach, but Bourin said nothing about his ravenous appetite. As they traveled Kynier told the old Eypharian about Nyka, the caravan, and the attack. "Hmph, an unfortunate tale. But the gods can be as kind as they are cruel. I can just enough strength in these old arms to guide one more student." He smiled down at Kynier, "Would you like to become a wizard?" Kynier was unsure about being called a wizard, but did like the idea of learning magic.

Two day passed and they reached Syliras. Bourin had a house there, large enough for two. The rest of the space had been filled with tools and even a few books of the arcane. For the next ten years Kynier lived with Bourin and trained in Reimancy, Auristics, Voiding, Shielding, and Glyphing. The training for Reimancy was the worst. Bourin had cut Kynier in several places over his body and extruded a vapor that he called res. The vapor entered each of Kynier's cuts and he felt fire and lightning coarse through his body. Bourin summoned his res from Kynier body and ignited it with fire. A few days afterward Kynier was able to begin creating his own res. Bourin taught him to focus on fire first, because it would be the most useful to a novice.

The worst part of his training was during his dedication to Auristics. Remembering what Fritren had said, Kynier attempted to see in the night without light. The strain of each aura numbed his senses and filled his mind with absurd thoughts. Bourin examined Kynier's aura and was relieved to see no permanent damage had been inflicted, but Kynier's concentration for the next 7 days was likely to be diminished. So Bourin spent the following season focusing on lessons about overgiving.

During his time with Bourin, Kynier also became a believer of Akajia. Having seen that strength and strength in numbers were not enough to save a person, that stealth and precision would have a better chance of survival. In his later years he learned what he could about slavery as well. Discovering that Sunberth had an open slave market, and was rather lawless, a vision began to form in his mind. There was no mistaking that his mother had been taken as a slave. And he wanted to do something about it, even if indirectly. If he could he would abolish it. When he told Bourin about this plan the old man said nothing for a long time. "Sunberth has many old scars caused by magic. If your mind is set to it then you best learn how to use that short sword you've always carried. It will serve you better than openly casting magic when your life is in peril."

Bourin understood a little about fighting and helped. But the years were taking its toll and each day they spent a little less time on Kynier's training. Finally, the day arrived when Kynier would leave for Sunberth. Bourin just looked at him and said, "One man has two ways of making change. First, a short dramatic affair that will most likely ruin him. As well as making a change that could be detrimental to your cause. Second, a life long path of careful decisions that may yield no results. But others can join you on the path and continue walking after you have stopped. Think carefully about everything you do in Sunberth. The people will hate you because of what you can do. So don't let them see what you can do until the time is right."

In the spring of 515 AV Kynier left for Sunberth. The people he travelled with asked about his purpose to moving to Sunberth. "Just looking to make an influence on the city." They made it to Sunberth despite a few attacks from the creatures of the open lands. The first year was very difficult. Most of his money went to purchasing a decrepit building to call home. Scrapping for jobs he managed to keep himself fed and to furnish his home. But all the while he learned what he could of the workings of Sunberth. Rumors went around about The Night Eyes and how they were disrupting The Daggerhand. Kynier spent the next two years learning what he could about them and determining what the truth was. Hopefully soon, he could become part of The Night Eyes' network.

Magic Items


The Mighty Quill :
History: A fine-clothing merchant living in the Alahea Empire sometime prior to the Valterrian, had a problem with thieves. Working for his competition, the thieves would routinely steal his financial ledgers and other business papers so to help their employer stay on top of the clothing trade. While the merchant was quite skilled at what he did and could have been enormously successful, the underhanded methods of his competition held him back. Desperate to save his failing business, the merchant, whose family had always been close to Zulrav, prayed to the god for help. Then, on a stormy night a few days later, the merchant was closing up shop and started for home. On his way, a boom of thunder and a crackle of lightning shook the buildings around him. With the flash of lightning, he caught the briefest glimpse of a massive winged creature flying overhead. A moment later, a feather fell on the ground in front of him. After feelings of fear and awe began to fade, he reached down and picked up the feather. As he held it in his hand, he felt a slight tingle as the hair on his arm stood as if affected be static electricity. Quickly he ran for home and when under cover from the storm, he looked closer at the feather and saw a tiny glyph drawn on the quill of the feather. He quickly realized that the quill was a gift from Zulrav. Though he wasn’t a wizard and knew next to nothing of magic, a thought occurred to him that maybe he should use the quill to draw the rune on something. So, he dipped the quill in a bit of ink and drew the rune on the replacement to his previously stolen business ledger. A few days later, he arrived at his shop to find it broken into; the new lock on his tiny vault broken and the door forced open. Inside he found the body of one of the thieves. The man’s chest looked as if it were hit with something forceful that had caused a deadly burn. The merchant began referring to the quill as the Mighty Quill since he felt it was far better than any sword.

This deep blue feather is edged with white. It is about 10 inches long with the quill baring a tiny glyph near the tip. To the trained eye, the glyph appears to be one that stores a simple spell. However, when using the quill to draw the rune on an object that contains something else; a book cover, a lock, a door, etc., the drawn rune will trigger when the object is opened by anyone other than the one who drew it. Once triggered, the rune will unleash a small ball of lightning centered on the one who opened the object it was drawn on. The ball of lightning is treated as being cast by a competent reimancer will 40 skill points. The quill will only create a single charged rune at any one time. Once that rune is triggered, another charged rune can then be drawn.

The Quill has a minor secondary affect being that it can be used to draw other glyphs or even common writings on any surface be it cloth, flesh, bone, stone, paper, etc. It still requires separate ink however.


The Amulet of Desire :
When you hold it in your hand and turn a careful circle until you stand in whichever direction the person, place, or thing that you desire will cause the amulet to glow. The person place or thing you desire can change moment to moment. It will continue to glow as long as you concentrate on that object of desire and point in the direction it lies relative to you. This item will only work if you are within a 10 mile distance of the one thing you desire.


Backpack of Voiding :
It can hold anything within it as long as the thing can fit through the bag's opening to disappear inside. It weighs as if it is an empty backpack and has no limit in terms of what can go in. One must concentrate on what one wants to retrieve from the inside of it when reaching in or else the contents coming to ones hand will be random. This backpack will not preserve items such as food. Any garbage or food that rots in it will cause the contents to smell and a stench to emit from it once the top flap is thrown open. The same might be said of soiled sweaty or dirty clothing, especially socks and shoes.


Cold Iron Shortsword of Healing :
The weapon sooths your wounds resulting in a single moderate wound being healed once per day while being held. Activation: "I'll Die Tomorrow" in Tukant. Causes an unusual burning sensation in the wound that the power is being focused on as it heals.


Ring of the Black Mouse :
This ring is forged of some unknown red colored metal and is set with a single black stone. If one looks close enough at the stone, the faint outline of a mouse can be seen in its upper most facet. A few symbols are engraved in the inside part of the band. These symbols are magical in nature however their purpose and meaning have been lost in time.

By concentrating on the ring and calling on memories of a favored pet, animal companion or any animal that had positive significance in one's life, the wearer of the ring can Vitalize the ring's etching of a mouse on its black stone (empowered by Kihala's gnosis that grants a version of life to a depiction of life). When this happens, it looks as though a black mouse literally crawls out of the stone's setting; this causes the stone to vanish leaving the ring without it.

The Vitalized mouse appears and acts in all ways as a truly living mouse save for a few important differences. It cannot move farther than 50 feet from the ring else the magic that keeps it alive will be severed. If this happens, the mouse will simply turn to dust and it will take 10 days for the ring to restore the stone and enable the mouse once more.

The mouse will remain Vitalized ("alive") for 10 days before it has to return to the ring (literally crawling back into the setting and turning back into a black stone). If it can't return, it will turn to dust and require 10 more days to restore. Once it returns to the ring, it takes one day for the magic to recharge and enable the mouse to be Vitalized once more.

The wearer of the ring may direct the mouse by force of will in VERY simple ways. The mouse can be directed to enter a building or room, follow the wearer, perch on their shoulder or hide in their pocket simply by willing it to do so. The mouse will not put itself directly in harm's way however. For example, it will avoid predatory threats or any thing really that would direct it to potentially die. Attempting this will turn the mouse to dust and require 10 days to restore the ring's ability to Vitalize another. More than one occurrence of such a thing may even gain the negative attention of Kihala or Caiyha.

The wearer may also, by closing their eyes and focusing on the ring and through it the mouse, share some of the mouse's senses in a limited and unique way. They can see what the mouse sees albeit in black and white, no color. This is done by closing one's eyes and viewing the what the mouse sees. They may also smell what the mouse smells and share their sense of touch through their whiskers. While the wearer can hear what the mouse hears, spoken words are heard from the mouse's perspective. A mouse cannot perceive language thus any spoken words heard through the mouse will come across as gibberish. Voices may be recognized or perhaps perceived as male or female based on tone or pitch but it will sound as though someone were hearing a foreign language with no knowledge whatsoever of what is being said.

If the mouse is wounded and/or killed, it will turn to dust and require the standard 10 days for the ring to restore the stone and the magic. If the mouse is intentionally harmed by the wearer, the ring itself will turn to dust and may incur the anger of Kihala or Caiyha. So predatory Kelvics who acquire this ring should take care in eating the mouse as a source of food.

Giving away or selling the ring will result in its power vanishing.


Glister :
A Cold Iron Short Sword with an ornate guard and handle. Swirls – The surface of the weapon is enveloped in a swirl of twisting colors that can be distracting to an opponent in battle. -10 to all opponent’s rolls while in combat with the wielder. Effect is constant.


Cloak of Ever-Comfort :
The black, Mohair wool cloak is magically imbued to keep the body of the wearer comfortable between 30F and 100F (-1C and 37C). It also keeps the body surprisingly dry.


Tear of Tanroa :
A Tear of Tanroa is a divine artifact. As big as an apple and is always wet to the touch as it is quite literally a divine tear given solid form. It comes with a small, blue, otterskin (waterproof) bag that can hold it. Otherwise, it can get clothes or other surfaces wet as it is covered in a constant state of condensation. A Tear looks like a spherical piece of calm water; no amount of shaking will disturb the serenity within it. However, once the one who inspired its creation gazes into it, something truly remarkable happens.

The surface of the Tear ripples and an animated image appears. This animated image will remain animated for 10 seconds before repeating. The image itself represents the most significant 10 seconds within the memory that inspired it. While focusing on what it reveals, the person will see the "10-second clip" as if they were actually in that moment in time, watching it. They will hear any of the associated sounds, experience associated tastes, smells and touches that exist within those 10 seconds. Think of it as Mizahar's version of a digital photo frame.

The Tear itself cannot be damaged or destroyed by anyone other than a Rank 1 God(dess).

Kynier's tear displays him as a child sitting on a bed with his mother. Young Kynier is brusied and bleeding after a fight and is playing a single note on an Oboe while his mother is singing the same note. Kynier feels a sense of calm while watching this time. To this day he doesn't realize the true significance of that moment.


Starfire Oboe :
Starfire Oboe – This silver oboe, when played, produces a soothing song that literally feels insightful and calming. In a 50-foot radius, the oboe’s song causes nearby flames to turn silver and in the absence of existing flames, random nearby objects shimmer with a soft inner silver light. Those in the radius of effect, including the one playing the oboe, find their minds cleared of conflict and confusion; their thoughts pushed toward self-reflection. The player is also covered in starfire, minor and moderate wounds quickly vanishing. Those within the radius of effect who hear the music will suffer a 10-point penalty to combat-related actions during and after the playing of the oboe for the remainder of the encounter. No skill is needed to play the oboe, simply lifting it to one’s lips and blowing does the trick. (Originally a Flute. Gillar gave approval for changing it to an oboe.)


The Defender Sphere (Undiscovered) :
ImageThis Green-Tinted Crystalline Sphere will create a glowing-edged solid impenetrable defensive weapon that looks exactly like a normal kite shield that is absolutely see through and indestructible. It cannot be ripped from the owner and can be activated as many times per day as the owner wishes, and can be dismissed just as easily. Activation simply requires a tap and the will for the sphere to activate. The same is true with the dismissal. This sphere is a bit smaller than the other spheres, being closer to the diameter of an average apple than that of a large grapefruit so that the bearer can hold it comfortably in their hands.


Ring of Transference :
When you pick it up and slide it on your finger, you will know instantly what it is for. It will be like someone stood there and told you, but you will not remember that happening. If you take it off immediately, nothing will happen. But if you leave it on, it will activate for its once-per-season usage then and there. What the Ring of Transference does is allow you to take one skill you know well (say a high level skill) and transfer that knowledge for a 24 hour period of time once per season to another skill you already know at the level of the first skill. The second skill acquires the first skills stats, while the first skill acquires the stats of the second skill. You are in essence flip-flopping one set of stats for 24 hrs.

Stone of Tuvrenan: Pond Stone :
The stone of balance gives the wielder the ability to clear their mind of distraction with relative ease. The wielder is treated as having a +25 bonus to Meditation.

Magecrafting has been practiced since before the creation of written language. A name lost to all but a few of the divine was a shaman named Tuvrenan who was known to imbue great power into regular stones. The stones themselves are large and vary in color but were not magically constructed. Each one possesses a glyph written in the Ancient Tongue on their surface, though it is difficult to see the runes without close, careful examination. The shaman had been known to bless many iconic figures of the first age of civilization with a stone, granting them either an enhancement or new profound abilities. When the stones are held in the owner’s hand they meld into the palm. The texture of the stone spreads over the entire palm and the inside of the fingers so long as the effect is active. The stones can be used for up to one continuous day before they revert to their original form. The stones require one full day to recharge regardless of how much time was used.


Leth's Light: A Book on Critical Thinking (Undiscovered) :
Image


This journal was written by one of Leth's famous priests, Pyrathis Nilam, who broke critical thinking into seven parts and discussed how society reformed after the Valterrian and the philosophy involved. It not only discusses the seven parts of critical thinking...

    1. Analyzing
    2. Applying Standards
    3. Discriminating
    4. Information Seeking
    5. Logical Reasoning
    6. Predicting
    7. Transforming Knowledge


...but how society, in post Valterrian Mizahar, has related to their environment as influenced by magic and The Gods. Several Gods are discussed in the book including Leth, Syna, Ivak, Sylir & his son Glav Navik, Rhysol, Priskil and Qalaya. This book introduces key philosophical arguments and makes many leaps and bounds from idea to practical application siting examples from the last 500 years of history.


Black Sun Lantern (Undiscovered) :
Image

This dark lantern produces a light that only the owner can see by. People walking even directly beside the person will see no effects of the lantern nor see the lantern itself. This allows a person to move around in the dark within a circle of light that no one else can see or see by.


Leave No Trace Boots (Undiscovered) :
Image


These thigh-high boots, when slipped on, will automatically be the correct size and fit for the wearer. They will leave no trace of their passage through any sort of substrate including mud and snow so long as the substrate isn’t over the top of the boots. They will remain clean and dry and not ever show signs of wear. Their coloring is the owner’s choice and will change based on the owner’s outfit. The tops can be rolled down or up depending upon the owner’s activity.


Magic Eye Bracelet (Undiscovered) :
Image


This slim metal bracelet looks like a very stylized eye with a set of sapphires for a pupil. It has a habit of growing incredibly and uncomfortably warm against the user’s skin (without burning the wearer) when someone is using magic directly around or upon them. This item is particularly useful on folks that are worried they will be hypnotized or scanned with auristics, though it will also reveal the fact someone is using other sort of magics of all kinds. It will not heat up if the user themselves is a mage and using their own magic.
