Fawn over your appearance, spend time looking your best, become distracted by yourself.<br><br>Concept: Chorus is a Priestess on walkabout after the destruction of her temple by an outbreak of Uniformity. While she believes in the Silken God/dess known as the Supple One, she has (somewhat involuntarily) become a tender and protector of others in need. <br><br>Personality: Chorus is an unsubtle woman. She isn't quiet about her expectations or her emotions, and she definitely isn't quiet about the hardships of living life on the road. At the temple, she was groomed to her position since a very young age, and she misses the indolent life. Loudly and constantly.<br><br>History: Chorus grew up as an acolyte of the Silken god/dess known as The Supple One. As far back as she can remember, she was part of a semi-familial community at the temple, daughter of a priestess and bound to be a priestess. And it was enjoyable. Much time was spent in seeking physical beauty and trying to create beauty and comfort in the world around the temple, which generally was to the benefit of the nearby village. <br><br><del>But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.</del><br><br>A crusade of the Uniformity rolled across the countryside, and when it had passed, so had the time of the temple and most of those who dwelled within it. Chorus was fortunate enough to've been granting blessings and healing to those who'd done battle in the temple's defense. She doesn't know how they got her out after she was struck down. She doesn't remember anything. She woke beside the road, and those who had protected her were dead around her.<br><br>The Supple One favors the flexible as well as the beautiful, and Chorus believes that her god/dess knew full well that the destruction of the temple would place her on the road. Ergo, this is where her god/dess wants her, and the problems she faces are problems her god/dess wishes her to deal with...And if she finds them personally challenging and sometimes demeaning, then she just has to try to be the better person for the benefit of those around her. As such, when she is at her best, she is less about taking sides between the major powers and more about aiding and comforting those who the road sets before her. At her worst, she is proud, haughty and sometimes even condescending to those who need help.<br><br>Primary Stats<br><br>Alertness: 1d6<br>Charm: 2d6 (+1?)<br>Power: 1d6<br>Cunning: 0d6<br>Spirit: 3d6<br><br>Health: 6<br>Willpower: 3<br>Experience: 0<br><br>Relationships:<br><br>Equipment:<br>Weapons - Fangs (3 harm, 1 gold)<br>Armor - Scaly Skin (+1 armor, 1 gold)<br>Armor - Leather Armor (+1 armor, 1 gold)<br>Tool - Ritual Accoutrements (2 gold)<br>Tool - Tent (1 gold)<br>Resource - Elaborate Wardrobe (Impressive) (1 gold)<br>Resource - Religious Icon (Impressive, Portable) (1 gold)<br>Resource - Essence Stone (Aura, Consumed, Alchemy, Power Pool) (2 gold)<br><br>Moves: <br>Battle: Arcane<br>Social: Beguile<br>Special: Super Ability - Gigamagic (Spirit)<br>Priest: Warding<br>Priest: Healing Ritual<br>Wyldling: Aegis<br>Socialite: Bard

				Chanticleer&nbsp; your character looks good, accepted.<br><br>As for Flash step it lets you use a weapon like it was ranged. There's quite a few ways to interpret it.&nbsp; As it doesn't mention Alertness&nbsp; I'm going to assume it means exactly what it sounds like and you can use a melee weapon as a ranged one through quick movement. In which case while Ranged would improve your damage with it you can still use the exchange harm move from range it just won't have all the bonuses that would come if you used the Ranged move. It does give you the advantage of picking the range they can't hit you back though when using exchange harm which is pretty helpful.

				&nbsp;Trying to figure it out mostly for picking abilities sake.... My thought of Flash Step comes from anime such as Bleach; moving very quickly, making a strike, but appearing to have not moved at all. So, say if I want to have my main attack be Backstab, Flash Step would let me do that at a range, right?

				&nbsp;Alright, thinking a mix of Shadewalker and Wyrd for my foxgal, leaning a bit on the kitsune being a trickster spirit. Concept being a dancer/thief who relies on a mix of subterfuge and magic to swipe things from people. Not sure what power pool, if any, she'd really draw from. Attribute focus would be cunning and spirit, followed by charm and alertness.<br><br>edit: Other idea, since we have a plethora of casters/sneaks/monster types, is an Angel/Valkyrie and agent of the Nebula.

Cream, peach. Fabric, cloth, comfort, deception, refinement, disguise, emptiness.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>However, by this point they've become associated in a few character backgrounds with chaos. Possibly because there's an active war between them and the Uniformity, at least according to the majority of the character backgrounds (mine doesn't mention the Silken being chaotic, but definitely battles with the Uniformity). Perhaps the Uniformity claims them to be chaotic due to some of their aspects? (Deception/disguise/emptiness).<br><br>Chorus is most attached to the comfort and refinement aspects of the Silken. I see the Supple One as emphasizing those aspects, and being something like a genderfluid (and less gender-aligned) version of the Aztec deity Xochiquetzal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochiquetzal). Remove the gender-specific aspects of Xochiquetzal and you have a god/dess that's concerned with beauty, weaving and embroidery, sex and reproduction. Which means that Chorus wasn't what is typically thought of as a 'temple prostitute' because no money or exchange of goods was involved, and certainly she had as much freedom to pick others as partners as they did to pick her, but that there was a certain amount of sexual flexibility within the temple's systems that may not have been representative of the surrounding culture, and that within the temple's domain sexual behavior was connected to worship rather than to relationships or secular laws.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=288425.msg14172609#msg14172609">Quote from: ShadowFox89 on 28-05-2018, 13:55:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">edit: Other idea, since we have a plethora of casters/sneaks/monster types, is an Angel/Valkyrie and agent of the Nebula.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>We don't have a 'plethora' of casters.

				@ShadowFox<br>Make whatever you wish to make. The nice thing about PbtA systems are its pretty easy to adapt to just about any party as all the different archetypes are more about giving different ways to solve problems rather than requiring balancing for combat.<br><br>@Everyone<br>Alright here are the full write ups for the main four power pools that have been brought up which should I hope clear things up a bit.<br><br><strong>Silken</strong><br><br>Portfolio: Fabric, cloth, comfort, deception, refinement, disguise, emptiness.<br>Motivation: Cause havoc; make them fight<br>Moves: Sew the Seeds of Chaos, Induce Distrust and Rage, Reveal Second-Hand Lies<br><br>Avatars of the Silken are most often found in the harems of important folk, where deception, fashion, and luxury are at their heights. They disguise themselves as concubines and enjoy gossip and political maneuvering. Silken avatars do not usually take on a particular cause or position, but enjoy stirring up trouble for the sake of entertainment. For them, there is no greater pleasure than causing calamity through misunderstanding.<br><br><strong>River Dragons</strong><br><br>Portfolio: Water, unstoppable, disaster, ﬂoods, bounty, avalanches.<br>Motivation: Avenge misuse and carve new paths<br>Moves: Wash Away a Settlement, Ruin Crops and Supplies, The River Takes Them Away <br><br>Avatars of the River Dragons usually take the form of pillars of muddy water writhing back and forth like large snakes standing high and preparing to strike. Some are more or less muddy than others, and some contain rocks, stones, or downed foliage. The avatars of the River Dragons are primarily concerned with the health of their river-bodies. Blockages, damage, pollution, overfishing and other mortal interference can draw them up from the waters to put an end to the source of irritation. Many demand tribute in exchange for safe passage.<br><br><strong>Uniformity</strong><br><br>Portfolio: Homogeneity, union, hivemind,<br>cooperation, purity.<br>Motivation: Become One<br>Moves: Enhance and Release a Prisoner, Back the Side of Order, The Light Reveals the Truth<br><br>The Uniformity is well known for its ability to subvert the bodies of those it captures. The Returned, as they are called, come back from Uniformity with the same sorts of smooth, white ceramic armor and black silky underclothes as all other members of Uniformity, and they return with great power. Uniformity does not seek to destroy civilizations. It seeks to bring them all together, in glorious, harmonious Uniformity.<br><br><br><strong>The Evening</strong><br><br>Portfolio: Time, aging, death, night, change, the inevitable.<br>Motivation: Find the greatest and bring them to an end<br>Moves: Possess the Living, Terrorize the Brave, Depress the Joyful<br><br>The hands of the Evening are gray, ghostly folk, often clothed in the shrouds of burial. Their transparent forms are nearly indestructible, and they hunt like wraiths. They thirst for the life of those who shine brightest. They haunt heroes and sun worshipers, and try to bring on the dusk of civilization. Their domain is the quiet of night, and during the night they are strongest.

				@ShadowFox89 The angel idea seems the most interesting so far since you have an idea for growth and change and we don't have an earnestly moral person yet. Do you see the kitsune just being a selfish thief forever or is there something redeeming about her or a redemption arc?

				@ChangingSaint - Cool! Mikayla is feeling those pangs of conscience and looking for a role model and flawed role models are the best kind :P<br><br>@IdleWyld - I don't think she's too similar but I do think it would be good to think about her redeeming qualities so it makes sense for everyone else to want to work with her. If anything she's more similar to the villainous aspects of the Silken than to Mikayla or Chorus. I really like the concept of a spontaneously-sentient bale of cotton

				So&nbsp; to answer questions.<br><br>Shadowfox: Angel sounds interesting. But so far the power pools that are involved are Silken, Uniformity, and River Dragons as that seems to be good with everyone. However coming up with a culture or region who focuses on the same kind of code and sense of duty is easily doable.<br><br>Idle: I don't think there's too much overlap. She's certainly quite different than the other ex Silken so she's good.<br><br>@Everybody <br><br>Assuming we have no other power pools that are really argued for, ShadowFox feel free to make an argument for the Myriad if you'd like to see it included and see if you can get other to agree if you'd like it's inclusion. The last two steps are Regions and cultures. Anybody who has an idea for one that they would love to come up with one either as background for a character or to adventure&nbsp; in feel free to post it here.&nbsp; After that the other last thing is the imminent threat. This will be the threat that's involved when we start the game. I will also make note of all the suggestions to see what everyone is interested in. Just because they won't be the immediate threat in the starting scenario doesn't mean they can't show up at all.

				For the immediate threat, I think it would be fun if we're not <em>directly</em> battling the power pools at the start, but something that was kicked in motion by the interaction of the power pools. Like an angry god who was displaced by a flood and wants to conquer/convert a new realm, or a civil war as a region tries to consolidate before the Crusade of Uniformity arrives, but also the civil war is fueled by the Silken. Or the Uniformity absorbed the monks who used to cleanse the waters that run off the mountain-sized corpse of the demon god and now there's a plague of madness downriver.

				With regards to regions, I haven't been really able to work on one yet. I'll see what I can do. As for the immediate threat, I like Aprrl's idea. Maybe something slowly encroaching on the worlds bit by bit from the outside, slowly drawing the characters in.

				I'm not entirely sure if this covers all the basses, but here's my idea fleshed out.<br><br><br>Once a great conqueror, who at one time ruled over many vast regions, including a large desert. He had said desert named after his family. It is now known as the Sahel desert, but the land was too barren of resource and the conqueror did not find ruling the lands to be worth his efforts. The current inhabitants of the region respect his triumph and conserve the region's history, but are not devoted to his likeness by any means.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Not many inhabit the Sahel desert, save for the citizens of the great city of Zarakhal, a city named after a great prophet of The Evening who was consumed by the power pool itself. The citizens of the city revere The Evening for its great power and wise intentions. Zarakhal is a massive metropolis. It's an independent city-state that rivals many countries. Through the heart of the city runs a great flowing river. The city sprawls outward from the river. The population is greatest near the river and fades toward the outside. There are a considerable number of farms on the floodplains found around the river at either extremity of the town. There are also a number of suburbs found outside of the cities great walls, but the occupants consider themselves citizens of Zarakhal.<br><br>There is a rigid social hierarchy, not run through monarchy but a pure form of meritocracy. Those who can prove themselves most helpful to the small nation are granted living space toward the heart of the city. One is given no rights at birth but must prove themselves capable when they reach adulthood. Children are taken care of communally. They live with other children and proven mentors with most schools and youth-housing found within intermediate-ability communities.<br><br>Those that can harness auras, especially that of The Evening, are highly regarded in the Zarakhal community. Magical power is seen as a potent aid to improve the city and its society.<br><br>Due to the social structure, there is a mostly work-based culture found among the citizens. Those who work long and hard are praised for their dedication and contributions. It is believed that without the full extent of each individual's effort a great city like Zarakhal would be unable to flourish in such a harsh region.<br><br>The city is largely isolationist. Citizens often live their lives having only met and dealt with a handful of travelers or envoys. The potent members of Zarakhalan society believe their city to be far more developed than any other nation, and therefore prefer to keep the cities fortunes and technology secret.

				Oh yeah, Mikayla has Distrust of Flaxie for sure, knowing that she is/was an agent of the Silken. Not to mention that Flaxie flaking on a mission might be why Mikayla got caught by the Uniformity.

				So what you would do is select your move. Roll&nbsp; xd6&nbsp; the x being either your charm or alertness + 1 to the roll since you have a positive relationship with Joanie's character with the E dice bot or other dice bot that lets me see the results. The target number in this case is 1.

				Yup neither of the rolls were successful. But that's not a bad thing. It just means I get to make things a little more interesting for the characters. It also means that you both get one experience! This also turns out to make a good place to explain experience and what you can do with it.<br><br>First there are&nbsp; five ways to get experience.<br>When someone either another player or me invokes your flaw to cause trouble you get an experience point.<br>When you voluntarily choose to indulge your Flaw and cause trouble in an interesting way you get experience.<br>When fate intervenes, i.e the roll fails and trouble occurs you get experience. <br>Has your relationship changed in a significant way? You get experience.<br>Is your relationship the source of the latest problem and makes it the center of the scene? You get experience.<br><br>Now for spending experience.<br><br>5 exp for a move<br>To increase your stats you spend equal experience to the next level of the stat.<br>4 for an extra hp star<br>6 for another will power star<br>2 to change your flaw as long as their is a reason for it.

				I'm glad others are still working on relationships.

				Sorry about the delay, folks. Life's gone all wonky the past 48.<br><br>Relationship ideas! Chorus was a priestess of one of the minor gods of the Silken, which might put her in touch with any of them. She's also a wandering healer, which could have impacted <em>anybody</em> at all, because she doesn't judge those who need her help.

				First, sorry for not having posted yet, but my schedule is a lot freer now. Avalon, are Flaxie and Pascal's situations meant to be the same one or connected? Idlewyld and I had decided we would like our characters to be involved with each other, so I think it would be good if Pascal was part of the guards being led away by the woman or if the situation being investigated by Pascal and the other guards was the same woman Flaxie was following. Once I know I'll post.
