| − | Will take her killing personally. Chooses to blame Skadi.
| + | =='''Miscellanea'''== |
| − | | + | Comments here for thoughts on character creation. obviously all this is how things played out in my multiverse of Amber! Fun and games. |
| − | When Laravala dies the remaining Taziliwere guard will present itself to Alxeandra, the revealed daughter of Brand.
| + | look at Skills in my game [[Jeweled Amber Skill Points]] |
| | + | |
| | + | '''''Chaosian Option''''' |
| | + | *If you decide to go Chaosian. Ill pick the Chaosian since she will fit into the ongoing chaos politics. Most likely a Henrdake. Take a look at this for information on the Hendrake family in my game-[[Benedict/Hendrake breeding program]] |
| | + | **Voya[[Heirs_and_spares#Voya._Daughter_of_Maylon]] is a good possibility. A Hendrake royal with Amber blood. |
| | + | **I've toyed with the Helgram family that has been in the politics of Chaos and would have been a big part of the war. A daughter of this house might be interesting. |
| | + | **Brand, Fiona, and Bleys dealt with Hendrake and Helgram in fomenting the Black Road War. Bleys and Fiona withdrew from the Chaos forces as it became clear what the endgame for Chaos was once the pattern was damaged. Another character is dealing with Brand now and a lot of his side of the story will be in play. He is claiming that the effort to edit the pattern, using Martin, failed and he was badly deranged by the effort. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Elite-Cash Gagal===
| + | '''''Regorian option''''' |
| − | [[File:Cash Gagal.jpg|100 px]] | + | *I think a Regorian heritage might be good too. [[Regor]] Regor is a major inscription. Regor has a very Russian vibe. Minarets, cold, vodkas, etc... It has been xenophobic and isolationist. |
| | + | **Brand is a Regorian through his mother Queen Clarissa, as are Fiona and Bleys of course. He could easily have been with a Regorian woman and that might work well. |
| | | | |
| − | Cash Gagal. Currently imprisoned in the castle of tazil. Suspended upside down, blood slowly draining, still alive. Can tell them info
| + | *you have a character concept for her in her own world. Clearly a PC you have run before. What her origins are and how much she knows about it is something to talk about. |
| | | | |
| − | =='''Items {10(50)}'''==
| + | You said ''I plan to take Warfare 25, Basic Trump, Conjuration, Sorcery, Chaos Strength and two 5 pt worlds with Destiny'' |
| − | [[File:Laravella-staff1.jpg]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===The Staff of Treseil===
| + | *First off, i don't encourage taking stats down. if its done i suggest it be one of the first things to try and buy up. Buying down stats implies some physical problem in the race of Amberites. So if strength is bought down there should be a reason; Catastrophic magical accident, touched by a curse, etc. |
| − | The Staff of Treseil is a powerful artifact whose personality is that of a Dufiro of Binding.
| |
| − | *Chaos Vitality 2

| − | *Confer Movement 1

| − | *Invulnerable 4

| |
| − | *Rack and Use spells 4-12 minor spells, 6 major spells.
| |
| − | (39)
| |
| − | Unwillingly Bound [[Dufiro]] of Binding to hold the Jewel of Treseil
| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Jewel of Tresal'''- A shadow of the Jewel of Judgement.
| |
| | | | |
| − | *The staff was forged by Brand to harness and protect the Jewel of Treseil. The stone may be detached by requesting the Dufiro to release it and it may or may not upon its own choice. | + | *Secondly, Two separate shadows is a lot to start with as personal shadows with a Destiny? Clearly there is a reason for this i want to hear. I think we should talk it over and work out. there should be a good reason to spend so much on two shadows. |
| − | *The Dufiro will not give its name. Names are powerful. It responds to ''"Staff"'' or ''"Svyazannyy"''. The Dufiro is bound but bargianing with it might make it willingly bound.
| |
| | | | |
| − | =='''Stuff{3 BS}'''==
| + | *third. Skills. If you read the skill section i explain why i uses skills. 5 pips allows for a fair amount of expertise. |
| − | *3 bad Stuff | |
| | | | |
| − | =='''Death Curse'''==
| + | *Fourth. Shadow Magic. Listed as a power, a few pips in shadow magic makes her a mighty wizard. Of course the shadow magics don't work everywhere. |
| | | | |
| − | "Damn the Jailers. Jail the Damned. Free my Outcast Father."
| + | *Fifth. Signature Piece. each PC starts off with a good signature piece. In the 40 pip range. Grayswandir, Werewindle. Maybe a wizards staff |
| | | | |
| − | *Brand will be freed but will be absolutely clear that he will stay in Amber to not break his deal with Random despite the magical freedoms. | + | *Pet. Each PC will end up with a pet of some kind. |
| | | | |
| − | =='''Miscellaneous'''==
| + | *Elite. Once a Amberite is on good terms with King Random they are assigned an Elite. Basically a body guard. They act as a companion, can travel with the pc, reports back to Random, and acts as a funnel for the GM to feed information to the pc. They don't HAVE to keep them with them but it helps. |
| | | | |
| | + | *Two Shadows with Destiny. Like i said elsewhere, this is something we should talk about. It could easily be lowered to 5 pips and one shadow saving 5 pips on any of the below ideas. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Background=== | + | ===<big'''Ideas'''</big>=== |
| | + | All these options are just ideas. nothing set in stone. just working out a character concept. |
| | | | |
| − | Born in Krestrixiol, a shadow near Chaos, one of a pair of twins to '''Prince Brand of Amber''' and an abyssal creature
| + | ===='''Idea 1: 133 Woven Logrus option.''' ==== |
| | + | *Stats:30 |
| | + | **Psyche:10 |
| | + | **Strength:Amber |
| | + | **Endurance:Amber |
| | + | **Warfare:15 |
| | | | |
| − | Brand left Krestrixiol leaving '''Laravella''' with guardians in the House Hendrake. Over her youth she saw '''Brand''' occasionally, during the time he did spend time with her, mostly discussing Amber and its history and language. She knew '''Fiona''' and '''Bleys''' while she was a young girl. This was in the time that '''Bleys''', '''Fiona''', and '''Brand''' were learning in Chaos themselves. | + | *Powers 112 |
| − | | + | **(25) Woven Logrus [[Woven Logrus]](Gifted by Brand) |
| − | While growing up '''Bleys''' took her with him occasionally when he exercised. He taught her ''Parkour'' acrobatics. He was fanatical about it, he charmed her, and Brand didn't mind. Its a very acrobatic thing she and '''Bleys''' did for a time. There may be a child of Bleys and Laravala around for the future.
| + | **25 (10) Shapechange (When the pattern was repaired, Amberites gained 10 pip's worth of Shapechange allowing limited shapechange like finger prints, facial features, webbed feet and fingers, ear shapes.) |
| − | | + | **15 Sorcery |
| − | While not a noble of Hendrake, she was considered something of a Ward of the House and allowed to come and go with no responsibilities. During this time she met a Bone Warrior of Hendrake named '''Vek''', who was a member of the royal line but whose position was clearly not one of importance. A musician and a chef, as well as a warrior, he was often found in the libraries or near the magical representations of the Logrus studying them. he was always friendly to Lara but was haunted, as if he lived in fear for his life. When Lara began her own traveling in the Chaos Sway or Black Zone, '''Vek''' disappeared into the Bone Warriors and she never saw him again. His legion was known to have been destroyed in the Battle of Patternfall and it was assumed he was slain.
| + | **20 conjuration |
| − | | + | **30 Trump based on Woven Logrus. |
| − | A frequent of the courts but not a Lady yet since she has not taken the full Logrus. She found her personal shadow by traveling in the far parts of the Chaos Sway and spent years in them on her own. Having her adventures in those worlds. While still visiting Chaos and House Hendrake on occasion. Not a Member of the House but granted "Honored Guest" status.
| + | **5 Shadow Magic [[Shadow Magic]] |
| − | | + | **10 Shadows (2) |
| − | Then the Black Road War came. Being a denizen of the Chaos Sway but not having responsibilities in Chaos she could come and go but was not considered a combatant. At the time of the Battle of Patternfall she assayed the logrus.
| + | **5 skill |
| | + | **2 bad Stuff |
| | + | |
| | | | |
| − | She learned that '''Fiona''' and '''Bleys''' broke with '''Brand''' and chaos disavowed the two of them and '''Brand''' became closer allied in Chaos with Hendrake and Helgram war efforts. He returned warped, talking about the destruction of the universe and a lot of that kind of madness. He was somehow changed and was mostly angry.
| + | I like the idea of a PC with Woven Logrus. If she ever gets to take the full logrus she would have 25 pips set aside for it a good idea. |
| | | | |
| − | The war was fought and lost she heard that '''Brand''' was defeated and fell into the Abyss.
| + | This option would not necessarily be related to chaos. It could easily be someplace else in shadow so she would not have been raised in chaos. This would give her full shapechange. |
| | | | |
| − | Suddenly she was Trumped by '''Brand'''. He was badly magically damaged and his healing took a long time. Bringing him to her realms she nursed him back to health. He said he had taken '''Deirdre''' into the Abyss. He gave her to the Serpent to save his own life. She was some how split in two. The unicorn rescued one half of her and stole the jewel from him. The other half the Serpent of Chaos took. he was left to fend for himself in the deepest parts of the abyss. It was bad.
| |
| | | | |
| − | In time he recovered his clarity of thought if not necessarily his sanity. In gratitude he summoned the Staff of Treseil and bound it to you. At one point he grasped her head and did something magical that was unsettling for a time. What it was she never knew. (10 pips above).
| + | ===='''Idea 2:145 Chaosian option.'''==== |
| | + | *Stats:15 |
| | + | **Psyche:10 |
| | + | **Strength:Chaos(+10) |
| | + | **Endurance:Amber |
| | + | **Warfare:15 |
| | | | |
| − | Eventually he recovered somewhat. He went to [[Regor]]. Sometimes everyone needs to see their mommy. Taking her with him she met '''Queen Clarissa''', the Czarina of Regor, and her brood of children, including the precocious '''Alexei'''. As a Child of '''Brand''' she was treated well, royally even. But '''Brand''' was severely magically damaged and despite some recovery he got lost. '''Clarissa''' assigned Alexei to be Brand's keeper. '''Clarissa''' had offered to see Lara through the Inscription of Regor but it never happened.
| + | *Powers:130 |
| | + | *10 Logrus-Partial (study allowing for future full Lorgus. Allows Logrus based sorcery and trumps) |
| | + | *25 (10)Shapechange (Racial) |
| | + | *15 Sorcery |
| | + | *20 conjuration |
| | + | *40 trump |
| | + | *5 Shadow Magic |
| | + | *10 Shadows (2) |
| | + | *5 skills |
| | | | |
| − | '''Alexei''' and '''Lara'' having had a tumultuous, mostly flirtatious, relationship. '''Alexei''', a friendly rogue as well as a Prince of regor was interested in more but his duties did not allow. He spent a great deal of time followig Brand and returning him home as he went through bouts of madness, weakness, alcohol and chemical abuse and poetry readings.
| + | A bit high on points but workable. It has her having studied the Logrus enough to use sorcery and trumps and ready to someday assay the full logrus. It does not allow her to raise the Sign of hte Logrus or use the logrus for defense, make tendril, etc. Woven Logrus would be an additional 10 pips. Dropping endurance to Chaos, a thing i don't like, would free up 10 pips to buy Woven Logrus. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Lara''' left Regor to return to her worlds and her life. She lived in her shadows, visited Chaos frequently. | + | ===='''idea 3:115'''==== |
| | + | *'''Stats:30 ''' |
| | + | *Psyche:10 |
| | + | *Strength:Amber |
| | + | *Endurance:5 |
| | + | *Warfare:15 |
| | + | *'''Powers:85''' |
| | + | *10 Logrus-Partial |
| | + | *(10)Shapechange |
| | + | *15 Sorcery |
| | + | *20 conjuration |
| | + | *40 trump |
| | + | *5 Shadow Magic |
| | + | *10 Shadows (2) |
| | + | *5 skills |
| | + | This one drops shapechange and puts Strength at Amber. It has Partial Logrus allowing sorcery and Trump. This assumes some access to Chaos. |
| | | | |
| − | She learned that the Bone Warrior '''Vek''' had eventually taken the Logrus, been declared a Lord of Hendrake, a grandson of '''Maylon Hendrake''' and thus a great-grandson of '''Benedict of Amber''' and Princess '''Lintra Hendrake'''. The revelation of his family line explained much '''Lara''' remembered of him in their youth about how he was both hated and protected by the elders of the chaos house.
| + | ====Idea 4:125 Regorian Option==== |
| | + | *Stats:30 |
| | + | **Psyche:10 |
| | + | **Strength:Amber |
| | + | **Endurance:5 |
| | + | **Warfare:15 |
| | | | |
| − | Till recently.
| + | *Powers:95 |
| | + | *(20) Regor Imprint |
| | + | *(10)Shapechange (Racial) |
| | + | *15 Sorcery |
| | + | *20 conjuration |
| | + | *40 trump-Based on the Sigil of Regor |
| | + | *5 Shadow Magic |
| | + | *10 Shadows (2) |
| | + | *5 skills |
| | + | A bit high on points but workable. I really like the idea of a Regorian PC. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Alexei''' came to you and told you that '''Brand''' had been Captured by Lord '''Vander''', a son of Eric of Amber(and a PC). He was in the dungeons of Amber. He had a lock on an Amberite with access and was going to seek her out. (the PC Carissa)
| + | ====Idea 5:120 Regorian option.==== |
| | + | *Stats:25 |
| | + | **Psyche:10 |
| | + | **Strength: Chaos(+10) |
| | + | **Endurance:Amber |
| | + | **Warfare: 25 |
| | | | |
| − | ==Path==
| + | *Powers:95 |
| − | *Interacted with '''Vek''' in Chaos | + | *(20) Regor Imprint |
| − | *Came to Amber, saw Brand. | + | *(10)Shapechange (Racial) |
| − | *Dealt with '''Random''', gained a pattern imprint and an Elite -Cash Gangral | + | *15 Sorcery |
| − | *Spoke to '''Brand''' in the Dungeons of Amber. | + | *20 conjuration |
| − | *Seized Taziliwere. Dominated its Pattern's shadow. | + | *40 trump |
| − | *Forces the PCs to Kill her. Her death Curse Frees Brand. Breaks the bindings on him. If he goes or not will depend but he won't allow Random to impose more jailers. Removes the power to transport him the Jailers Arloxedra and Faroooq. He may stay in Amber, abide by the non-magical rulings.
| + | *5 Shadow Magic |
| − | *Her shadows are gained by PCs.
| + | *10 Shadows (2) |
| − | *The Staff and Stone go to Brand. Laravala's Death Curse frees Brand from any binding. Removes the Jailer's power over him.
| + | *5 skills |
| | + | This is a bare bones idea. It is a Regorian one. Giving her Trump, sorcery, conjuration. You mentioned 25 warfare. That's a lot of warfare for a sorceress who may want Psyche to be competitive with other sorcerers. Swapping Psyche and Warfare would give her solid Psyche and a respectable military mind. |
