+ | The first thing The Shaper sculpted was herself, a living world that was yet to be that made itself from nothing. The echoes of her story of self creation linger as a series of Miraculous Arcs: | ||

+ | '''Blessing of the Creator''' | ||
+ | The Shaper is a being that exists as testament to the value of creation - a being that says to the world that not merely the result but the act itself is good. That it is ''right'' to try to make the world, and to try and make it better. That making something, ''doing'' something, is a thing that must have worth. And around her, at least, it is true. | ||
+ | Over some time, or instantly if she spends 4 MP, she can make the following into a Region Property: | ||
+ | * Work must be Fruitful | ||
+ | 1/book for free, or for 4 MP at any other time, she can invoke this as a wish. She can say that ''this'' particular work not merely must but ''will'' be fruitful, that it will have meaning and come to good end. That this particular act of creation was looked upon by that which made the world, and she saw that it was good. | ||
+ | The specifics of this, and the results it has, are up to the HG and the group. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Seed of Chaos''' | ||
+ | The Shaper made herself out of chaos and the Wyld, and its nature still lies within her. It is a law of the world that to create a thing is to create the potential for its destruction, and as the embodiment of creation itself she is also the embodiment of that potential. Should she turn her robes inside out, they become instead pale and worn, full of holes and decay. When in such a state the Region Property she exerts is instead: | ||
+ | * Things break down and dissolve, returning to that of which they were made | ||
+ | And as a wish, this is a wish for destruction and unmaking, a wish that the hungry chaos should swallow ''this'' thing up and dissolve it, a wish that names a thing unworthy of existence and proclaims that it return to formlessness that it may be shaped anew. This is a Bleak effect. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Earth's Body''' | ||
+ | Over the course of several minutes, or instantly for 4 MP, The Shaper can revert to a form resembling its original body. She is then a great dragon made of earth, with scales of steel and claws of stone. Her back ridges are a mountain range, her blood is rivers and her veins are made of gold. Her body is one that could have been made into a world, for so it was. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Created Body''' | ||
+ | Changing back into her new form takes more effort, for she must remake her body anew each time. (0 MP between Chapters, 1 MP in a few hours, 2 MP in a few minutes, 4 MP instantly) | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Shed Scales''' | ||
+ | Her original form had no size, for there were no referents against which it could be measured. Her new form is as large as it needs to be and no more, and she can alter its scale as she wishes. (0 MP 1-2 times, 1 MP for more, 2 MP unlimited mid-scene, 4 MP unlimited scene) | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Defensive Shield''' | ||
+ | Instead of the normal rules for a Wound, she can spend 2 MP to make a wish: | ||
+ | * I wish I had something to deal with that threat | ||
+ | She can take the piece gouged from her, and make something new from it, as once she took her body and made the world. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | She took her body and made it into the foundation of the World, and its properties are the nature of her soul expressed. They are as follows: | ||
+ | ==='''Properties of Creation'''=== | ||
+ | * Creation is the formless given form | ||
+ | * Creation is solid and real | ||
+ | * Creation encompasses and sustains | ||
+ | * Creation endures | ||
+ | * Creation is a soil in which new things may grow | ||
+ | * Creation is a task unending | ||
+ | * There is nothing infinite in this Creation (i.e. "Creation is finite") | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The story of her making the world from herself is expressed as a series of Miraculous Arcs: | ||

The mundane features of the world fade away (with an Obstacle of 1 for most sensory tasks and an Obstacle of 2 for finding precise details) but she can clearly see those with a special relationship to the whole of Creation.

She can quickly detect problems in the world's functioning or areas that need shoring up, and has a sense for the reality of things, and the potential for new growth. |
