➣Omisha closely worships and goes around telling people the tales of the Machinist. Who is the creator of the Necrotech Engineering Branch and through this gift of affliction to this world, many lives were saved as those in their dying breaths converted into an Undead that serves him. And being them into a new life of near but not exactly "immortality".
➣Omisha is normally very self-guarded, not really ever letting anyone grow too close to her. She spent all her life on her machines and often finds them to be the only company she needs. She's the type of person to ever open up about herself around her family and close friends. Often keeping a more guarded demeanor when in public.

Deathveil Mechanic 1
Deathveil Undead no longer need biological processes such as breathing, eating, or sleeping. They are theoretically immortal so long as their body is not physically destroyed, as destroying their head will still force their soul to detach from their body and pass on. Deathveil Undead can live for hundreds of years, though we recommend a maximum of 500, due to the stringency of lore from this far back.
Deathveil Mechanic 2
Deathveil Undead, due to their connection with the Ordial Gods Malefica, the Consigner, and the Machinist, are able to use Divinium to summon these entities, even if normally Pagan or Cult Gods such as these could not be summoned. In doing so, not only do they have access to the normal Divinium Summoning, these entities also double as having all functions of the Spirit Dukes.
Deathveil Mechanic 3
Deathveil Undead do not need to remain bodily cohesive, meaning parts of them can live independently from the main body. This could for example allow them to send a hand crawling under a doorway which can later be re-attached, or an eye held around a corner to see. This allows Deathveil Undead to creatively interact with some Staff Events by creatively using their bodily flexibility.
➣Common Mortisphage Mechanics
Common Mechanic One
Mortisphages can use a Court Glamor to hide their teeth and Green Eyes from anyone but fellow Mortisphages, except during feeding. This counts as a Disguise, but not to those who already know they are Mortisphage.
Common Mechanic Two
Mortisphages, if they have Disguising or Shapeshifting Magic, can hide their teeth and Green Eyes from anyone but Mortisphages, but all of their Proficiencies are set to 0, and they cannot use Abilities in Combat.
Common Mechanic Three
Mortisphages can use a Party Glamor at Server Events/Player Events (not Raids), which acts as a Disguise, until they leave the Event Venue. Cannot ever be used outside of Event Venues.
Common Mechanic Four
Mortisphages, when using Curses via Advanced Roleplay Mechanics can apply minor Curses that last for up to 12 Hours max, without OOC Consent, which count as having +1 Magic Stat for dispelling considerations.
➣Broken Engines of the Machinist Mechanics
Mechanic 1
Mechanic 2
Mechanic 3
Broken Engine Mortisphages deal additional damage while fighting either Mech Automata or Bound Automata in Combat. For each 2 HP in damage they apply to such a machine, they apply another 1 HP automatically. Additionally, Broken Engine Mortisphages can introduce hijacking nano-viruses to Machines out of Combat to introduce new functions or shut them down. This cannot be hidden.
Mechanic 2
Broken Engine Mortisphages can hijack Dragon Leytech Machines (those created/used during Events or Event Characters) such as soul cores or wholesale Machines like the Conduit or Orrorey if they are functional at the time. They can force these machines to obey their input instead of Dragon Protocols, but can only interact with it on the spot, expecting their hijacking to be undone when they leave.
Mechanic 3
Broken Engine Mortisphages can jack into the Leysystem network of Draconic Sites, and use remote observation tools to playback certain events in which Divinium was used. Broken Engine Mortisphages can inquire in a Staff Ticket to be given a read-out of what God was summoned by whom, and what they asked. They will not receive a copy of the answers, but rough estimations of this information.
Undead Familiar: | Calemberger Dobs |
Most would look at Omisha's Dods and grimace, as much like its owner. This creature is a harbringer of death. But mostly only in physical appearance, having a pair of Ordial glowing eyes, and too many arrow wounds to count, covered in a series of gruesome slashes, stabs, and battle scars. Omisha had found the dog while traveling, by the time she did the creature was already dead. Having been used up and served its purpose under the Military. Taking pity on the creature, Omisha used her abilities to revive it, and let it join her on her journey across the land. And eventually, back to the city. Omisha had named the dog Khonshu.

❈In recent times, Omisha's body has become far more mutated and monstrous than ever seen before. When her God, The Machinist, lead her along the path to her great rebirth as an undead. Her body went through several changes in the process, Omisha's Clockwork body parts transformed into that of Necrotech, a special metal gifted to her by Machinist. It went from being metal to a mixture of flesh and bone, with glowing green lines. Her eyes became a swirling mixture of different shades of green and milky white. It is hard to tell where her armor even begins and ends due to Omisha's deformed appearance. Her hair is now seen as pouring down streams of Ordial Essence, having no physical or real form, and Omisha additionally is able to at will make this hair appear in any hair shape or due she likes. And mimic the appearance of different hair textures as well. [I might add in more mutations later]
[Ania's parents, Sivo and Rhys Sagh]
➣Young Years
➣Teen Years-To current years
Omisha was born to Ari and Ryius Kinder in Daenlock where she was taught from a young age the usage of Engineering. She picked up Clockwork as was traditional, however her parents were oftentimes always busy and never really around. For years her best and only friend was her Engineering Familiar, which was one of her first ever creations, being a small Clockwork Dragon. Omisha also had a younger sister, who she would ever so often spend time with and grew fairly close to as well...
➣Teen Years-To current years
❈As Ania got older, she began to explore more and go out, slowly over time however as Ania went out on her own adventures she was away from home more and more. . She one day went to the capital city of Regalia, where she soon after adventuring through the aftermath of the burning of Petalcourt, she ran into a Cratos known as Rhys Sagh.
❈At the time what she thought was a vampire due to his alignment tried to attack him but after being defeated. The two were attacked by a Cahal, Ania at the time being too weak to fight, Rhys defended her. Soon after, the two began to talk, and this was the beginning of a strange, and unlikely friendship. Which eventually turned into Rhys adopting her as his daughter.
❈Ania was met with care and compassion from Rhys, she soon after became a member of his cult herself and joined his side in the Technocratic Collective, further info on how Ania adjusted to her new family in the Collective. Eventually growing up to lead the Collective herself and go through many trials and have many experiences. One day she had received news of the death of her parents. And was left with a burdened heart. She then left the city in search of enlightenment with her God, the Machinist, going to begin to spread his word and will across the cities. Until the Machinist began to come to Ania in her dreams, leading her to an old temple of his. In which she found a weapon that she took, making her into a Geist through a painful yet quick transformation.

In which she found a weapon that she took, making her into a Geist through a painful yet quick transformation.
❈After a few weeks, she had an encounter with someone who was Rhys Sagh, at the time your average Cratos clockwork monster. It wasn't exactly a good encounter either, it started out with Rhys dragging her into an alleyway and draining her near to death. However he stopped, which a Werebeast came in, perhaps waiting to finish her off, but Rhys had chased it away. After recovering some Alexa and Rhys got to talking about Clockwork, they spent hours in that Alleyway, just talking while Ania recovered from the blood loss. And it sparked a great friendship. In her sadness and as a last-ditch attempt to feel accepted, she joined Rhys.
❈Ania looked up to her newly adopted father for guidance. What made Ania love Rhys so much was, he treated her like his actual daughter. Ania had grown up never knowing much of her mother or father. Ania grew up most of her life never knowing any of her other family members either, she was never close to her family members, and she has no idea where most of them even are anymore. So when the Collective came along, it was almost like a dream come true for the young Qadir. Among the Collective Ania also soon after met her mother, Sivo Sagh. She was a Von Kerle who helped train Ania more with her glaive and helped her become a better fighter. But there was more to Sivo than just fighting, she was an amazing supportive mother who encouraged her hobbies. She was someone Alexa felt safe going to and talking about basically whatever. Meanwhile Rhys taught her about Metallurgy and the creation of Clockwork and many other devices. And always acted as emotional support for the young Qadir. Ania also had a brother, named Rizu Sagh, Ania never really knew her brother as he wasn't around as much as her mother and father were. But she did at least get along with him well when he was around. Overall, Ania loved her parents as much they loved her. She realized the one thing she had truly been lacking all her life, was a family.. A true family, and now she finally had it. And she never planned on giving that up for anything.
❈Along with a series of other abilities from him, such as to forge weaponry, Clockwork Biotics, controlling creatures she can create from Metal, and so forth. She spent many years upon years of learning these skills and many more with her father or mother. Before returning once more to the city. After many years of working with the Collective and focusing on learning from her parents and becoming the perfect heir and daughter. A lot of things had gone down in this time, in the Collective she had become fairly close to someone named Nathaniel, who was admittedly not within the best state of mind. He had repeatedly put the Collective in some form of danger yet Ania kept giving him second chances alongside her father Rhys.
❈Her father had also adopted a new family member in this time, an Ailor named Alexandria who was Ania's sister. And she also got to meet her brother, Rizu Sagh. Ania's sister fell in love with a man named Lock who was also in the Coven. The coven including Ania in particular had to have saved Lock more than once from getting captured by guards and Ania got along well with Lock too. In the end things did not work out between Ania and Nathaniel as he betrayed the Coven for the final time. Killing Lock in his act of revenge, this had set a new rage in Ania heart, but also a sadness and defeat. Shortly after Nathaniel after a long battle was defeated and killed with the Collective getting the last act of revenge. Putting an end to the cycle of violence.
❈If only life could be simple for Ania, but in recent times it had seemed to only grow more complicated. Fully taking on and embracing the title "Tech Princess". After Rhys Sagh had left the city, Ania rose to the Throne of Gears, meanwhile she made Felsin her second in command and put him on the Throne of Blades. However, facing threats from Adelias and her father as false accusations were put on Felsin. She had no choice at the moment but to remove him. Shortly after recruiting a man named Aldane into the Collective and trying to focus on regrowing the Collectives name and glory.
❈It wasn't long after that a great battle between the Sanguine and the city guard broke out, however it wasn't because of the power of sanguine the battle was won. It was because of the power of the Pride Arken, who had shown up in the middle of the battle to assist the heavily outnumbered sanguine. Sending in black blasts of dread, instantly multiple guards fell to the corruption of Vampirism. Being turned instantly and sent into a wild hunt for the nearest none-sanguine. By the end of it, thanks to the power of Pride...
❈The sanguine rose victorious, and took hold of Greygate. Which was quick to be redecorated and covered in blood and reeked with the smell of death. A week later, Ania put Felsin back on the Throne of Blades as Adelias had left. Refusing to use his Coven as a sword and not a shield, which the other Covens kept pressuring him to do.
❈During this week, it had been nothing but a war. Ania made an alliance with Wilhelm Wulfmacht, who at the time was a Von Kerle vampire. The two had grown close and fought side by side in battle after battle even leading into another week. The city had become a warzone... And that couldn't be denied. However, after losing him one day Ania followed him to the Keep and the next time Wilhelm woke up, she realized it was too late to hope to take him back. As she was met with the reality, he was already a Rokkhal.. And wouldn't want to come back, and so she fled. She also became closer to the other Coven leaders in this time.
❈It was shortly after Ania met a Cahal named Aldon, who she very quickly became close with. He was a prisoner of war, when she first ran into him, he was in a cell bleeding out near to death. She instantly took him out of the cells and to the clinic area to patch him up, as her abilities didn't work in the Purestone cells. Using Clockwork Control to pretend to be mind controlling Aldon, but she didn't really do this and rather gave Aldon free roam of Greygate and the ability to go out to see his friends while she sent him out on 'spying missions'. As long he always returned sooner or later to keep up the facade.
❈After this a battle at the Kade Estate went down, however outnumbered they were during this. Pride was silent and didn't come to help... The battle was lost before it even began. And yet the Vampires still fought. And Ania barely managed to escape. However, Anias problems only began there. After the battle a few days later Aldon confessed to Avarelle about what Ania had done for him, and in turn Avarelle weaponized it against Ania. He publicly accused Ania of treason and tried to turn the other Covens against her when she refused to join his side. Out of fear, Ania called out to Wilhelm, pleading for him to help her, so if the Covens turned against her, she would have some ally left to rely on. Ania also never blamed Aldon, who had true intentions of making an alliance between the Collective and Cahals. But Avarelle had other ideas.
❈The two agreed that if Ania provided support and supplies to those of the Keep, her Kin will be left alone after the entire war is ended and the Collective will be considered none-threats to the state. Together the two planned and plotted against the Lich Lord, and now she has won a battle with the Cahal fighting alongside Wilhelm once more but on the side of the Resistance hidden under Wulfmacht armor with prints she had been provided by Wilhelm the day before to make herself a set and march into battle alongside them.
❈After the war finally ended, Ania seemingly did not take any time to return to the sewers and her place among the Collective. However, where she knows what her next path in life as Ania will be. But, that's the conclusion of this part of her life story. The War had ended, and now it was time for a new reign and an age of advanced technology.

[Sound Ambience]
Ania had ended up leaving the city, in search of further enlightenment from her God the Machinist, spreading his will and word across the lands. While on her journey, The Machinist came to Ania in her dreams followed by quiet whispers filled with insanities. Even though she could not understand the whispers, she understood what the purpose and intent of the dreams were. Telling her of soon to come better times, the bigger purpose she was to be used for by The Machinist. Through these dreams, he eventually led her to an old temple of his. Leading to this mini-story:
Ania was walking down the temple's corridor. The walls were covered with eerie green writings and runes that emitted a weak light. Even though she was underground, she could feel a light and cold breeze on her body. She took steps after steps in a regular and almost mathematical pace towards the big door in front of her. The breeze grew like a whisper in her mind. She could hear it everywhere resonating against the wall and still, no one has been here for a few hundred years at least... As she got closer to the door she could see that it was made out of Necrotech which was surprisingly in a perfect state considering it was there for so long. The door was smooth for the most part of it except for a bas-relief where it was mostly kept in its natural and irregular state.
"Approach," said a voice so high pitched it sounded like it couldn't come from anything known in the world as the door seemed to refract a green light coming from the other side. Yet, Ania tried to keep her face as straight as possible as a chill sensation of pure terror descended her spine. She realized after a second that she took a step back when she heard the voice. She straightened out her robes, almost smiling at how any other creature would have gone completely insane after hearing such a voice. She pushed open the door and entered a circular room where the symbol of a large train was sculpted on the floor. Six metal pillars rose up from the ground on the granite room walls, each perfectly distanced from each other pulsating with faint green light.
The Machinist was present in the room with her. Not appearing to be anywhere near a truly humanoid figure, but rather a large infernal engine with limbs, having a set of rails out of bones and dark twisted metal. With his back turned to the Priestess looking at an abyssal pitch-black opening between two pillars. Ania almost felt like the abyss was gazing back at her as she was looking for what got her God's attention with her night vision that couldn't seem to pierce the darkness. Something in the room made her shiver yet it wasn't just cold, it was like nightmares were moving around, trying to wrap themself around her, trying to get into her. A moonbeam passed by a hole in the ceiling suddenly illuminating the center of the room. Which revealed a warpick, surrounded by bright green Ordial energy, causing it to float in the air. Without any word, the Machinist turned his head, looking at Ania from sideways. The priestess took a step further into the light, and grabbed the Warpick.
As soon as she did, every bit of light in the room was drained as if attracted to Ania. The pillars slowly stopped pulsating, the moon itself looked like it was obscured by an unknown force. There was a second when the room went perfectly black before Ania could see metal spikes coming out from the pillars at great speed piercing her body, clothes, soul, and mind, immobilizing her. She felt the rocks moving under her skin coming out through her body. The pain was unbearable but she knew she just had to get through it because it was just the beginning, her face as stoic as ever before. The spikes continued their advance through her whole body. She felt them moving across her bones, breaking them, moving them apart, and replacing the space between them with Necrotech, pulsating a green light.
And then the spikes finally went out of her body, it left no marks. But rather a pulsing green energy from the areas she was pierced. She moved to a kneeling position on the ground. She raised her gaze seeing what looked like a dark green stalagmite. It descended slowly towards her head. When it finally reached it, she could hear a thousand screams echoing in her mind, shadows began dancing all around her as a terrible pain pierced her forehead. After some time, she blinked a few times before realizing she could now see the Machinist, who was looking down at her closely. She methodically bowed down to the Machinist before getting back up. Summoning the warpick from before, spinning it around in the air infront of her. Going to then move to leave the temple. In which the God vanished from sight.

And then the spikes finally went out of her body, it left no marks. But rather a pulsing green energy from the areas she was pierced. She moved to a kneeling position on the ground. She raised her gaze seeing what looked like a dark green stalagmite. It descended slowly towards her head. When it finally reached it, she could hear a thousand screams echoing in her mind, shadows began dancing all around her as a terrible pain pierced her forehead. After some time, she blinked a few times before realizing she could now see the Machinist, who was looking down at her closely. She methodically bowed down to the Machinist before getting back up. Summoning the warpick from before, spinning it around in the air infront of her. Going to then move to leave the temple. In which the God vanished from sight.
