(Alethic) Dwarves gain +1 Main Defense Stat while another Dwarf is within a 5 block range, which can break Cap up to 11. This mechanic can stack up to a +2 bonus. Dwarves are barely affected by Alcohol that gets other people drunk, needing insanely high proof, and always being able to keep their drinks down. Dwarves have perfect vision (night vision) underground and in dark surroundings, needing no light. Dwarves are masters of the forge, able to perform feats of metallurgy in half the time of other craftsmen. Additionally, any metal item that a Dwarf produces is considered master class when compared to others. Due to their vast understanding of architecture and metallurgy, Dwarves may gain additional insight from event items that may not be obvious to others (inquire with DM/Event Hoster for opportunities). Marken Mechanics: Spoiler: General: Transformations: Quartermarken Form: Is when a person who is a Marken only applies some aspects of Markenism, but their head is still very distinctly humanoid and they are still recognizable as their normal self. Halfmarken Form: Is when a person has a Marken head and some qualities like claws and a tail, but still walks in an upright humanoid stance, more akin to an Asha. This is a Disguise, but Marken status cannot be Hidden. Fullmarken Form: Is when a person fully transforms into a more bestial Form, becoming more monster like and hunched over, and becoming larger. This is a Disguise, and a Monstrous Transformation, but Marken status cannot be hidden. Mechanic 1: Marken have enhanced senses, even when not transformed. They can see better (even in darkness), or hear quieter sounds from further away. (Consult with Event DM if this would reveal any new info). Mechanic 2: Marken have a danger sense that borders on precognition, and are "warned" of their possible impending death during Combat or Events, allowing them to prematurely disengage or avoid fighting something. Mechanic 3: Marken, if at a God Summoning of the God that cursed whatever Marken infected them (however far back), can possibly be given "Redemption Quests" to free them of the curse or help them master it. (Not Guaranteed, at Discretion of Lore Staff). Mechanic 4: Marken fare better in extreme temperatures and climates (cold or hot), and are not hurt or slowed down where other people might be, but this only applies to weather. Mechanic 5: Marken can declare Rental/Estate/Shop/Base Region or a Wilderness Cave as their "Territory" granting them +1 to Attack Stat (break cap up to 11) while fighting within and around it. If another Marken declares the same area their Territory, neither gets the bonus, and they must fight over the area, with the winner getting the bonus. Brawl: Spoiler: Brawl Mechanics Brawl Marken Mechanic 1: While in Quartermarken Form or greater, Gain +1 Defense Stat (breaks cap up to 9) when fighting within emote range of a Temple. Brawl Marken Mechanic 2: While in Fullmarken Form, a Brawl Marken can perform great feats of strength out of Combat (carry multiple people, throw boulders etc.). They also gain +5 in out of Combat dice roll Strength competitions. Spoiler: Full Form: Fullmarken Mechanic 1: Fullmarken Forms cannot make use of weapons or armor at all, instead their body (fists, claws, teeth) is their weapon, and their thick hide counts as Armor. Fullmarken Mechanic 2: Fullmarken Forms are forced to use Strength for Attack and Constitution for Defense, and gain +2 Strength and +2 Constitution. Additionally, they have any Dexterity Proficiency converted to Strength capped at 7. Fullmarken Mechanic 3: Fullmarken Forms regress into a more instinctive mindset, barring them from abilities. While in Fullmarken Form, they may only use point buy abilities from Melee, Shielding, Tanking, Bruiser, Athletics, Training, Cutthroat, or Roguery. Fullmarken Mechanic 4: Fullmarken Forms are unable to speak (but they can still understand others). They can produce bestial noise Marken Speech, which any other Marken can understand, even while untransformed. Fullmarken Mechanic 6: Fullmarken, if they are not in control of themselves, gain +2 Attack +2 Defense Stat (breaks cap up to 11/9), but must attack anyone and everyone around them without discretion. This Mechanic does not work if they have no allies present. Languages: Common Oortaan (Guttural Fantasay)(Oor) - Urlan Barrudh (Old Norse)(Dw) - Dwarves Brix (Unique)(Brix/Bx) - Bralona Backstory/Plothooks: Born into a military family of raiders and skilled fighters in the tight tunnels. Born in Rammuur. He was always a silent person in heart. His family one of the few trained to deal with the horrors of the tunnel. Battle with Isldar, Vampiric, and Dakkar. He was once a jolly man, but time slowly took its toll on him. Battles took their toll on him as he fought to help reclaim lands. Until… one battle went horribly wrong. His comrades had made a powerful advance, but were met on a holy sight where there was a large Glacial Followers who had a fort set up, turned into a holy site. They attacked with no mercy. The attack went well at first, but a priestess of Ravaal was left who uttered a prayer for their downfall. This lead to the goddess appearing. She offered the choice to aid in giving proper burial and leave. Siegfried dared not take and mocked her divinity, in the name of his kin. So, she placed a curse upon this party. The cruel power of the bear flowed in them all as they roared in fury, pitted against each other. Of the team of a dozen, only four remained. Siegfried was lucky to subdue the two and bring them home. He felt shame for not saving his comrades and self-exiled himself, forcing himself on a lonely road. He comes to Regalia to look for a new place to belong, maybe find kin, or offer any aid. Yet… his anger still persists. Isldar and ordial casters, be wary as he his marken half will, at times, take hold in grudge hold at time. He enjoys drinking with lovely company and eating good food. He loves a good contest. If you bring him something broken, he’ll fix it for free. Vampires are “kill-on-site” with him. A Bad event for him.

Veteran AntiMagi (Range: Melee Range / Type: Instant Technique) - While Veteran AntiMagi isn't on Cooldown, it passively grants the user +1 Attack Stat. Veteran AntiMagi cannot be actively used until an enemy uses an Ability from one of the following Categories: Magic Point Buy, Cleric Point Buy, or Theurgy/Shaman/Paladin Point Buy. When actively used, target an enemy within Range, and apply the Silenced Status Effect to them for the next 2 Turns.

Veteran DemonSpite cannot be actively used until an enemy Mystech uses an Ability.

Veteran Tri-Slash (Range: Melee Range / Type: Instant Technique) - As a part of this Ability, the user makes an Attack Emote on an enemy within Range. Instead of rolling once for this Attack, the user rolls 3 times and chooses the highest result. If 2 of the Dice Rolls were above 15's (without post-roll additions), this attack does -3HP Damage.

Constitution: 5 - Mounted Point Spoiler: Mounted Point Cavalry Summon (Range: Self / Type: Mount Technique) - The user may whistle or shoot a flare or other method of summoning, to call their Mount to them. The user may then use the Pets plugin to summon a pet, and mount it, as if their Mount has arrived on the scene and they are able to mount it. From this point onwards, the user is Mounted.

Mounted Evasion (Range: Self / Type: Instant Technique) - To quickly move across the battlefield, use this ability immediately after landing a successful attack on a target, which does not consume an action.

Mounted Getaway (Range: Melee Range / Type: Movement Technique) - To make a swift escape with a friend, use this Ability to target an ally within Range. Picking them up and placing them on the mount the user is on, both characters are moved up to 10 blocks in a chosen direction (which can include diagonals) before the Target is placed back upon the ground. Mounted Getaway does not use the target’s turn or movement, does not trigger Opportunity Attacks, and has a 1 hour cooldown.

Familiar Disrupt (Range: 5 Blocks / Type: Passive Technique) - The user is born near, finds in childhood, (religiously) manifests, or magically creates a familiar that is life-linked with them and grows old with them. This familiar can be sampled from any domesticated animal no larger than a domestic dog. This pet can accompany the user, and aesthetically interact with the environment and other people. To hinder an enemy, the user targets one enemy within range, and knocks them Prone with their Familiar. Familiar Disrupt has a 4 Hour Cooldown. Intelligence: 2 Spoiler: Magic Safeguard Safeguard Pack - The Safeguard Pack allows the user to become less affected by Afflictions, which has a couple of effects. Firstly, they are unaffected by Vampire Charm or Mortisphage Charm. Secondly, while they can be infected with Afflictions, they are not affected by the mental changes and keep their conscience. Thirdly, while normally curing from Afflictions would cost Divinium, those with Safeguard Pack do not have this cost incurred, being curable by the same persons without a currency cost. Finally, they cannot be fed upon by Vampires or Mortisphages, as their body becomes caustic to them. This can all be achieved through a combination of mind-guarding nanites or chips, or bloodstream alchemy. Magical Variant: The character has inlaid enchantments into their clothing, able to achieve the same effect. Additionally, they are able to pass this enchantment onto other items. While within emote range, the character can extend the benefits of this pack to another person to prevent them from dying. Finally, the user can create magical items with aesthetic benefits (or curses, removed with Exorcism or by a specific method per item, left up to player freedom) while out of combat, and pass them onto other characters. If the Magical variant is chosen, the Player may choose to make this Proficiency Point count as Magic instead. Spoiler: Magic Shapeshift Shapeshift Pack - The Shapeshift Pack allows a Character to change the fundamental genetic composition of their Character through for example the use of body-changing Alchemy or body-morphing technology like nanites. The Character can change their heritage (for example from Ailor to Eronidas or Solvaan, or even a combination of the two or three), including but not limited to taking visual aspects of individual peoples and combining them visually, though this never changes their Heritage Traits. Furthermore, they can change Gender Presentation, Biological Sex, Height, Hair, Facial Structure, Body Shape, Hair Color and texture, and even apply visual effects on their body like Tattoos, Mutations, and additional (non-combat) functional limbs or body parts. The Mundane version of this Pack does not count as a Disguise but is applied indefinitely, meaning the Shapeshifting does not break until an antidote or reversal is applied. Keep in mind that Shapeshifting should not be used in anti-RP ways to avoid consequences perpetually, while it can help with Crime RP or to keep one step ahead of one's enemies, making a character completely untouchable may result in Staff intervention. Also keep in mind that Shapeshifters have a bad reputation in the lore, your Character may receive hostility for openly Shapeshifting in front of other Characters Magical Variant: The Magical Variant of this Ability has all the same functions, except that the Shapeshifting does count as a Disguise, and can Hide Affinity Traits, but never Affliction Traits. Additionally, Magical Shapeshifters are capable of mimicking the appearance of another Character exactly while Mundane Shapeshifters cannot. Keep in mind that passing off convincingly as someone else, still requires a modicum of behavior mimicry as well, otherwise Characters may see through the ruse. Shapeshifting can be done as many times and as quickly as the user wants. If the Magical variant is chosen, the Player may choose to make this Proficiency Point count as Magic instead.
