Basic Information Full name: Nevarr Nauravat Traeiirn Mor-Ornn Raz-Kelinnaar (Nevarr Traeiirn) Race: Kathar (Cult of Shadows) Age: 54 Gender: Female Eye Color: Blue Occult: Void Magic Core Concept Nevarr is a devout Void Worshipper. Having witnessed a manifestation of the Colossus of Knowing, she believes she has been burdened with a pact to be upheld, resulting in a terrified and reverential worship.

Appearance Information Nevarr appears as a Mesmer Cult member. Nevarr’s deathly white hair is pulled into twin braids to frame her pale-skinned angular features. Lithe and slender her 6’0” frame is not built for physical strength. Her head is adorned by two stubby blackened horns. Proficiency Information Combat Style: Cultist Hobbies and Talents: Magical Talent & Cleric Talent (Evolist) Dexterity: 5 Cutthroat Backstab Cutthroat Flash Disguise Pack Soft Landing Close Save Faith: 7 Hex Plot Hex Aura Hex Parasite Hex Guide Hex Bloodlet Hex Apocalypse Hex Madness Intelligence: 2 Shapeshift Pack Mindcontrol Pack Racials: Magic Revive Chem Mend Languages Common (Learned in Regalia) Katharic (Birth Language) Altalar (Studied) Zoram (Spent considerable time living with Slizzar) Plot Hooks Nevarr was adopted from a Future House by Sylmaer and Lyiie'leina, who had returned to the Dread Empire after having an Arkenborn child named Leoronn. This gave the family a sudden rising prominence. While far from a politically important family Nevarr did grow up among the political circles of the Dread Empire Nevarr often felt overshowed by her older sibling in her youth, compounding with the family instilling the virtue of ambition. As she grew older Nevarr studied at the Paarthalaar Prefect Seminary. However, after refusing a duel the situation snowballed into acquiring the attention of many family enemies. This forced her to flee to Regalia. There she acquired skills, confidence and experience that aided her in her recent return. When the chance to contact the deities of void worship arose, she took it without expecting much. As Inth actually responded, this led her to believe she had formed some kind of pact with the deity. a pact that must be upheld. Nevarr’s recent return to the Dread Empire with newfound purpose has left her in a much better position. She has been able to finish and also excel at the Paarthalaar Prefect Seminary, as well as clear the stain of cowardice from her name. However, while she has continued to gather both religious understanding and secrets, her many injuries from her time in Regalia has left her body without the athleticism she had in younger years.
Update! I've made a bunch of much needed updates to this app due to the Alchemy update, changelog is below: Changed alchemy proficiency from 8 to 10 (8 is no longer a meaningful proficiency and 5 is too low for this character) Updated age from 29 to 31 to accommodate above change Included 5 proficiency in Dancing Arts as hobby points Updated body stat calculation to new formula Reduced body shape in conjunction with new formula Updates have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour
Hello! I will be picking up this app to fill in. Expect a response soon! Also, if your reviewer is no longer staff please set the tag to needs reviewer! @ElderShrub
@Caelamus Updated for the Kathar and Ritualism rewrite! Changelog: As part of the Kathar update, included Scion of Secrets under special traits, expanded visual information and personality. Included Mageblooded under special traits, selected three Sorcery Spells of the Chaos school. Incorporated into background Switched preferred weapon from Kathar Daggers to Boar Spear as this makes more sense for her background, and is made possible by not needing to constantly carry it due to the ritualism update. Adjusted proficiency points to match. Incorporated theatre arts as remaining 5 hobby proficiency points and justified in background Updated body stat to include dancing arts as apparently I forgot to do this in the last update All changes have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus In the words of the great Nicolas Cage "Well, the fact is ... I turned into a vampire. It's a long story." No changelog, since I just updated the Skill Information section. Auld Catharsis made it a bit messy so please let me know if it's difficult to understand and I'll try reworking it. I also decided to remove the 2 points in stealth and place them instead into void worship to represent character growth. This is the only non-vampire related change. All changes have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus This character has been around for about nine months now. While playing a young elf is fun, I feel it's time for an age-up to reflect character growth and better fill her niche. As well as a general update to keep this app current. Changelog: Changed age from 31 to 43 Added 10 Perception Training to better suit her spymaster niche Added 2 proficiency points to Theater Arts Moved 1 hobby point from Dancing Arts to Theater Arts Updated Physical Stat for Theater Arts points change Updated Special Traits to new Kathar terminology Set all Vampirism changes to light grey [Light grey] Replaced first question in personality section to better match the way the character developed from original intention Further added small updates to personality section due to character growth Added section to end of life story about arrival and activities in Regalia - Will be added to in further updates as character develops EDIT: Forgot to update the total Proficiency Points counter. Done that now. All changes have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus Update on the update! Please read this and the last post. Seems it was a good time to update the app, as the new Dorkarth just dropped. While this character's Vampirism isn't active at the moment, to keep this compliant I've updated the vampiric Special Traits. All changes have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus Honestly I entirely forgot to do a Vampiric Form. Took a little while to come up with something suitably creative for it. Hopefully I haven't pushed that creative freedom too far. The form has been added in a spoiler to the Special Traits section.
There is no escaping the updates. You can not hide and you can not outrun them. They come for us all. Changelog: Entirely redid Proficiency section. With removal of athletics and no suitable replacement decided to lean harder into spymaster niche Recalculated body shape Added Ritualism under Special Traits Updated Mageblood under Special Traits Reworded skills paragraph under Backstory. No substantial change, just removed justification for athletics proficiency All changes have been marked in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus Should probably tag you, even if not strictly necessary. Also to get the app off of page 9.
@Caelamus Took a while but finally updated the app to the new Kathar update. Along with smaller changes. See below. Changelog: Switched subrace to half Saivalthar half Zolathar to keep with niche. Aged up slightly for those final 2 proficiency points and reshuffled proficiency points Added Modern Altalar language as part of above Changed appearance to match new subrace Several small redactions due to minor lore changes.
@Caelamus Big update! Nevaria has gone through some neat character development and acquired Faith Manifest abilities. There's been some skill reshuffling as well due to the loss of Ritualism, adjusting to a new niche, and a change in preferred combat style. Finally, I updated the aesthetics a bit to reflect this new niche for Nevaria. Changelog below Added Faith Manifest. Removed old Ritualism Updated aesthetics Changed preferred weapon to atlatl/blowgun. Spear became impractical, wanted to try something cool & unique Point changes: Removed 9 points from Ritualism Removed 2 points from Stealth Rogue Changed Spear Combat to Light Ranged Combat (No point change) Added 10 points to Alchemy Science Added 1 point to Dagger Combat Adjusted Physical Stat to new points Updated name field, since she's planning to quietly marry next week. Will likely use both depending on circumstance Removed Vamparism: It's been inactive for months and I have no plans to return to it Updated Religion section under Personality and Abilities to include IC developments Updated Fear section under Personality and Abilities due to Faith Manifest and IC developments Added to last paragraph of life story to be more relevant to current arc and include Faith Manifest acquisition.
@Caelamus More work to your pile! Sorry! Changelog for the proficiency update is below. Specifically take note of the Cleric School, this might need to be changed. Reduced Alchemy Science to 15 (10+5 racial boost). Removed Dancing Arts (4) & Mixology Arts (2) Took the Hobby points from above and moved them into Theatre Arts. No overall point change Added Espionage School Added Cleric School. However, while Nevaria attended this school she failed to graduate for backstory reasons. Thus while she has the skills she is not an ordained priestess at present. This felt important enough to note on the proficiency list. If you want this school removed or presented in some other way please let me know. Added Espionage School (This one was graduated) Added Roguery points and abilities Changed Linguistic Science to Linguistics (Altalar Language) Recalculated body stat Updated life story to include schooling without messing with major events Found a few typos after saving the edit so I fixed these. If you're seeing multiple edits logged, that's why.
@Caelamus Yet another update dawns. This time the new abilities update as part of the half-races changes. While I was hesitant with the idea before I've turned Nevaria into a full-blooded Saivalathar rather than a Half Model to keep her within the same niche. More information in the changelog below and marked in this sort of purplish red colour. Changelog: Changed from Half Model (Saivalathar/Zolathar) to just Saivalathar Changed racial bonus from Alchemy to Theater Arts Put released points from Theater Arts into Dagger Combat Recalculated Body Stat Added changed Kathar abilities under Special Traits Edited life story to remove any reference to being Half Model
@Caelamus Finally updated Nevaria to the new format. I also took the time to make a few adjustments to her proficiency points. Sadly alchemy no longer includes the niche for this character. Instead she's learnt from the Ssalerzyra (Burch) household both engineering and the Zorraana language. I also changed her combat from dagger to rapier because it makes more sense now that she's a full Saivalthar. No formatting changes have been highlighted but all proficiency changes have been highlighted in this sort of pinkish fuchsia colour.
@Caelamus None of us can stop these updates. Here is the changelog for the new Kathar update! All changes marked in fuschia-pink. Changed name to fit new naming convention Changed sub-race to Cult of Shadows Added 4 Light Ranged Combat due to Magic Dagger ability Updated physical stat due to new max Changed Kathar Racials to 6 default abilities Added some more context in appearance paragraph and changed her mimic/guise to be compliant with new Shadow Cult abilities She is now adopted as per new lore, changed life story Also edited life story to remove all gender-specific familial terms
Cael is still staff but the app is over 1 month old so this is just a bump rather than flooding poor Cael with pings. No changelog for the proficiency update. Did my best to translate her over, however the big change is Djjwa had friendship ended with clockwork, now blood is their aesthetic. So no more engineering, Nev uses blood magic now.
@sonofthestars Heya Starson! While I've tried to avoid going vampire in the past to avoid ability stacking, at the moment it seems that is where Nevarr will do her best work as an evil minion. Blood for the blood god and all that. As such, it is vampire time again. Changelog: Added the extra 4 vampiric points. Added Blooded Vampire to ability information Described both form from Glamour Magic and Vampire Form under Appearance Information
To whomever is kind enough to pick this up, here comes an update! While some changes represent progression over time more are just due to new abilities being available or others being changed/removed. All changes have been marked in this colour again. Added Deeplore and Soulrend wisdom packs Added Knocking Pack from Ranged Removed outdated Forgery and Stealth packs Removed glamour magic and replaced vampiric/Soulrend form with the monstrous form from that, I had too many alternate forms and they needed to be consolidated. Replaced vampiric Time Magic with Evasion Pack, didn't exist when I last updated the app and makes more sense. Put the two unspent charisma points into Warlock and Hexlord Demonology packs.
@WingedJade Hi Jade! Finally got around to updating this app to all the various proficiency updates. No changes to backstory or anything else. As such there's no changelog for this one but changes are marked in this color and what has been swapped out is below. Removed: Thin Blades Pack Knocking Pack Trailing Pack Blood Magic Pack Sensor Magic Pack Replaced With: Coward Pack Evasion Pack Scoundrel Pack Scaling Pack Enchanting Vampire commutable Point-Buy changed from: Cursemaster Pack Evasion Pack Metal Magic Pack Sand Magic Pack To: Predator Pack Betrayer Pack Meddler Pack Recovery Pack Plus added all the chosen specials for both magic and curses pack.
@WingedJade Heya Jade! Another update just to keep up with the many proficiency updates and other changes since the last one. While all changes are marked in this colour there is no changelog for this one as I am being lazy. Oh also, added in the new Dreamform into appearance information and entirely forgot to color it, my apologies!
