That is what I really want right now for my character. If we can go with this and use the Brand background, that would be cool. I don't want Shadow Magic right now, maybe later. And I don't want to sell down STR either.
 
Skills would be:  That is a good start for me. Can we do this?

=='''Miscellaneous'''==
 
 
'''''Chaosian Options'''''
 
*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. 
 
  
'''''Regorian options'''''
 
*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. 
 
  
*''' Clearly this is a PC you have run before and so you have a character concept for Lara in her own world.  What her origins are and how much she knows about it is something to talk about.  Right now i have 4 active pcs.  one player having two.  3 of them are characters run in other games.  Im ok with that though i would prefer a new PC.  Since i don't know the history of the character in her worlds I may bounce ideas that are in her world that i don't want in my game.  All in all im pretty flexible about things. '''
+
===Background===
  
You said ''I plan to take Warfare 25, Basic Trump, Conjuration, Sorcery, Chaos Strength and two 5 pt worlds with Destiny''
+
Born in Krestrixiol, a shadow near Chaos, one  of a pair of twins to '''Prince Brand of Amber''' and an abyssal creature
  
*First off, i don't encourage taking stats downIf 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.  
+
Brand left Krestrixiol leaving '''Laravella''' with guardians in the House HendrakeOver 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.  
  
*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 hearI think we should talk it over and work outthere should be a good reason to spend so much on two shadows.  
+
While growing up '''Bleys''' took her with him occasionally when he exercised. He taught her ''Parkour'' acrobaticsHe was fanatical about it, he charmed her, and Brand didn't mindIts a very acrobatic thing she and '''Bleys''' did for a time. There may be a child of Bleys and Laravala around for the future.
  
'''Ranks and stats.''' I don't use RanksFirst Ranks, Second rank, etc. the concept never worked for me. Stats let a PC fit into the Stats of everyone else, PC or NPC.  
+
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 importanceA 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.
  
* '''Skills'''If you read the skill section it explain why i uses skills5 pips allows for a fair amount of expertise and some character development.  
+
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 worldsWhile still visiting Chaos and House Hendrake on occasionNot a Member of the House but granted "Honored Guest" status.
  
*  '''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. [[Shadow_Magic#Warlock_Magery]]
+
Then the Black Road War cameBeing 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.
  
'''Signature Piece'''.  each PC starts off with a good signature pieceIn the 40 pip range. Grayswandir, Werewindle. Maybe a wizards staff
+
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 effortsHe 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.
  
*'''Pet'''.  Each PC will end up with a pet of some kind.  
+
The war was fought and lost she heard that '''Brand''' was defeated and fell into the Abyss.
  
*'''Elite'''.  Once a Amberite is on good terms with King Random they are assigned an EliteBasically 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 pcThey don't HAVE to keep them with them but it helps.
+
Suddenly she was Trumped by '''Brand'''. He was badly magically damaged and his healing took a long timeBringing him to her realms she nursed him back to healthHe 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 abyssIt was bad.
  
*'''Trumps'''  Obviously 40 pips in Trump is the reason most of the below ideas are point high. However, while i have one pc with Trump he is not really designed to be active with other PCs or NPCSSo having Trump is something I want to have the PCs have more access too. Also nearly none of my NPCs have Trump artist so i envision that if Lara is on good terms with Amber she might get calls to make Trumps for people.   So in a way, im allowing abut ''20 pips'' as a kind of Player Contribution since i have an idea how it will work out.
+
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 timeWhat it was she never knew. (10 pips above).
  
 +
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. 
  
*'''Pattern''' As a unknown daughter of Brand it is unlikely she would start with pattern.  To gain it she needs to talk with Random, or find one to get the Pattern ImprintEither way it won't cost her pips. All the known shadows of the Pattern are guarded so sneaking one's way to walking the pattern is a good trick and worth the points.
+
'''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.  
  
+
'''Lara''' left Regor to return to her worlds and her life. She lived in her shadows, visited Chaos frequently.   
===<big>'''Ideas'''</big>===
 
All these options are just ideas. nothing set in stone.  just working out a character concept.   
 
  
===='''Idea 1: 142  Woven Logrus option.''' ====
+
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.

**(25) Woven Logrus [[Woven Logrus]](Gifted by Brand)

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.
 
 
 
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.

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.

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.

Ok.  after our chat last night i had these thoughts.  Your picking Brand is serendipitous.  '''This is a suggested background for us to modify as needed.'''
 
 
 
A frequent of the courts but not a Lady yet since she has not taken the full Logrus.  Perhaps her early years were in a shadow in the Black Zone that Brand owned(as in a personal shadow of his with a Woven Logrus)  He does not have Logrus but does have Woven Logrus. So she had access to his estate in this shadow and his staff treat her as the mistress now since Brand has not been around a lot before Pattenfall.
 
 
 
Say we start her off a good hundred years before the Black Road War.  She was born in a world near Chaos that has interactions with Chaos.  She knew Fiona and Bleys while she was a young girl.  She might have had a crush on either one of them, your pick.  This shadow would be where the trio did a lot of their planning and training for the upcoming war.  so a lot of coming and going of Chaosians. She would know a variety of chaos nobles who were polite but aware of your amber blood. There is a Woven Logrus in the realm and Brand, Bleys, and Fiona all learned it.  you grew up around it and took it early. Your sorcery and your trump are based on it.
 
 
 
Bleys, Brand, and Fiona taught her heraldry and Thari in preparation for their eventual rule in Amber.
 
 
 
While growing up Bleys took her with him 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.  (I include it since it is important to a couple Pcs and it might be a nice game some day.  the youtube vids are wild.)
 
 
 
Eventually Fiona and Bleys broke with Brand and he was angry a lot afterwards.  He returned warped, talking about the destruction of the universe and a lot of that kind of madness. he was somehow changed.
 
 
 
Then the wars happened and a lot of stuff we can discuss later happened; her involvement with the Chaosians and the Patternfall War.  During those years you met a Hendrake bone warrior named Vek(a PC).
 
 
 
Finding her own shadows and living in them for many years.
 
 
 
Suddenly she was Trumped by Brand. Badly hurt.  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.

At one point he grasped her head and did something magical.  What it was she never knew. (10 pips above)
 
 
 
Eventually he recovered somewhat. He went to [[Regor]].  Sometimes everyone needs to see their mommy. Taking you with him you 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.  But Brand was severely magically damaged and 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.  It is your call but Alexei and Lara having had a tumultuous sexual relationship would be very interesting in time.  It could have been eager Flirtations and wishful thinking on Alexei's part. (Im running Alexei with another PC as a flirtatious and charming rogue as well as officially Brand's keeper while he was unstable).
 
 
 
Lara left Regor.  She may have gone back every now and then.  Life went on.  She lived in her shadows and there it was.

Miscellaneous[edit]

Background[edit]

Born in Krestrixiol, a shadow near Chaos, one of a pair of twins to Prince Brand of Amber and an abyssal creature

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The war was fought and lost she heard that Brand was defeated and fell into the Abyss.

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).

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.

'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.

Lara left Regor to return to her worlds and her life. She lived in her shadows, visited Chaos frequently.

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.

Till recently.

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)
