Racials Abilities Body Claws 1: Spoiler: Description The character can retract or manifest sharp claws that ignore any type of armor that is not plate-tier, and can tear up even chainmail and cured leather. These claws utilize unarmed proficiency for combat, but cannot be used in conjunction with any melee or ranged weapons, and must be fully retracted to wield them. Power Curse 2: Spoiler: Description The user has the Power Curse 2 enabled on themselves permanently, however it has only one charge every 12 hours. The charge is triggered when any knockdown or knockback effect is imparted on the user. The effect is instead Countered, and the character that used an ability or technique that caused the knockdown or knockback is affected by the effect instead. Other effects, damage and mechanics from abilities causing knockback and knockdown still apply to the user. Flux Shift 6: Spoiler: Description The user is able to change their Body Shape, Body Fat, Sex and Body Hair (including top hair and facial hair: color, texture, shape and consistency) at any point, seamlessly and instantaneously. Kathar Binding 2: Spoiler: Description This ritual allows the kathar to produce a 7 day lasting target curse totem (which can be an object of any kind that can be worn or kept on a person) that when accepted by a person as a gift (or forced on a person), gives them visual similarities to the kathar who gifted them the totem (skin, hair color, eye color, body build). They can additionally also graft mentality changes onto the gift receiver, particularly making them more favorable to the kathar for the duration of the totem's effects. After the effects wear off, a new totem can be applied. Additionally, the curse also gives the target loyalty to the kathar who made the totem. If the kathar has the aid of 2 other kathar, they can perform a ritual on a nelfin or half-nelfin, allowing them to transform the person into a kathar. The transformation is temporary for 3 days, and if the target was unwilling, it will revert after 3 days. Players who are consenting however may also make it permanent. This ability can be reused on those who have had it used on them already, but it can never be used on Manathar. 2.) Vampire - von Kërle Bloodline: Active Vampiric Form: Upon shifting into his vampiric form, Andrathath's skin turns into a dirtied white-grey. His face from the nose down is shaped naturally aside from the new color transition. Above this line the skin hardens and shapes into a eerie, yet elegant cranium of connected horns and twisting bone. The rest of his body follows this same dark angelic style of whites and greys. 3.) Second Temp Bloodline - Twiceborn - Milôt Bloodline: Active Twiceborn: Provided through roleplay by Xilthruum.

This naturally stationed the slave in the more developed Dread society, with the available trade routes connected to the mainland due to the coastal towns vassalage. Given the access of bone ships and trade, Vaell’aer’s circumstance was better off than many other slaves, namely the ones birthed and sentenced to sacrificial events or in tribes separated from the rest of the Dread Empire. As a child, his mother A’nlyth’Olawa’rin was too a slave, working extensively as a house servant to the high classes of saivale. The patriarch of the family they served wasn’t inherently cruel but still ruled and practiced authority over their plantation. For this reason, the child survived early life risks and was raised without the worry of hunger. Their master simply fed their slaves well to maintain productivity based on the behavior of each slave in her extensive family. Adolescence | As a young boy, before he was strong enough to practice and work in the fields, the Shenathar explored about the coastal town their family was located at, often sneaking about the shops and scouring for useful junk that he could consider a treasured toy and so on. This planted the foundation to important sneaking and rogue skills, as well as developing abilities and experiences the Kathar would finely tune later in life. As the Kathar progressed and came of age, however, he was indeed sent out to the fields to work and slave alongside his mother and father, as well as related cousins and siblings. Transitioning from a curious child to an obedient worker was harsh, as it didn’t come to him naturally. He was whipped and reminded of his place on several occasions, leaving behind several scars laced upon his back. The Bloom of Endearment | Discipline eventually came and was the sole trait that prevented the Kathar from seeking love. Such love did tease him in his early twenties, however, to a fair Shenath much like him who he took interest. Her name was Sel’ussa’Yllafaren, and she was kind and gentle in touch to him. The experience was cut short once their owning patriarch sold him off to the Dread Fleet navy as prices for slaves ascended due to border conflicts and the rising tension. He naturally earned skills as a mariner, including bone singing to assist in the craft of vessels and structures on docks. The need for more mariners and sailors was natural and given his disciplined state, he did not fight separation from his family. He was abruptly cut off from his passionate side and had to undergo harsh naval training upon the seas as a slave soldier to the empire. Camaraderie still found its way, however, in the many kathar who related to him given their similar positions. In other words, Vaell’aer had friends during this period of his life, even when times were at their harshest. The Causatum | Such a harsh time included the raiding of pirates out on sea. As they aimed to return to the mainland with their vessel, they were met with a fully armed Kathar reap ship, destroying their own ship and enslaving their crew for later trade. This led to a long journey of purchases and sellings, until Vaell’aer had ended up further south in foreign markets. Despite his disciplined personality, he assumed being a slave under a separate empire would cut him from salvation and faith, as well as result in death. He escaped with the practiced and careful rogueness he had learned and picked up on earlier in life, finding his way in a mercantile vessel headed to Regalia. Once landed he picked on Harbor work - given structures and vessels included much of his life and skills aside from the slave soldiers combat skill whipped into him. Upon reaching Regalia, the Kathar was still extremely young. He was brought up by Valarosta who later became his adopted mother during his younger teenage years. Ascension | Over time, like many of the other Kathar Loyalists in Regalia, Vaell'aer underwent trials and tribulations to come to terms with the realization of wasting years of his life to a false religion. He dropped all faith and roamed the city for several rapidly passing months with nothing to believe in. Through these months he experienced true paranoia and grief as he understood the threat of dying brought no afterlife for him, only damnation. This grief made him more vulnerable and open, and through this vulnerability, he reached to close comrades for interaction. As a result, he learned to be more independent. With this developing independence, he reached out to other groups, acted out for his own benefit, and discovered himself for the first time in his life with certainty. To represent the changes he relearned his first name and now goes by Andrew, short of Andrathath. Glancing upon the temples of the Manathar Realm, Andrew fully discovered what he wanted to devote his life to. He underwent the transformation and was reborn into not just a Manathar, but an architect with the ambition to preserve the Nelfin architecture of old. He had ascended. Resuscitation | Peace settled on the Manathar, but it was a fleeting peace. For the great sacrifice was in vain. The end of one era did not signal the end of all hardships. It is a great irony, that the nature of conflict always reveals the true nature of those who fight. And from Vaell'aers earliest days, he began to fight, battle after battle in his Manathar form. There was no ending in sight. In the midst of the desire to shed blood, Andrathath accidentally stumbled upon the seeds of his salvation. With the assistance of friends and family, Andrathath eventually distanced himself from Xenophane, to glance at it from an out-of-the-box perspective. After a lengthy conversation with Mae, he returned to his roots as well as the Tordove family as his biological self, a shadow of their former past. Over the course of the next six months, Vaell'aer attempted to travel the world. However, he didn't reach far, only venturing as far as the New Ceardian Colonies. During his venture, the Shenathars pockets ran dry. In order to get back to the isles, he needed a job. Within the slums of a port city, the Shenathar took upon smithing, completing simple commissions overseas to raise enough money for his trip back. "Art by PapidaPumpkin"
☼ Staff Review! ☼ Hello, my name is Eccetra and I’ll be reviewing your app today. Shell'aq is solely used as a ritualistic chant, so it's not necessary to have listed as a language. Therefore you can have Modern Elven for free, and either pick a different 3rd language or distribute your points elsewhere. - Aside from this one point, an excellent application! You can take the above advice at your own leisure as it's not mandatory, no need for re-review there. ☼ Approved! ☼
@Eccetra Redid points and upped age to account for bone singing - a very important part of my kathars story line in building dread fleet ships. [removed rogue training too]
@JarrettdaCarrot You have Vaellaer's age listed as 28, but are using 29 points! Please fix one or the other. Tag me once you've done that and we'll get this re-approved!
@JarrettdaCarrot Oops, I'm really sorry! I don't know how this slipped through my radar so many times... ☼ Approved! ☼
Aged him up by 10, didn't bother adjusting the life story as it is already pretty long. Applied all points to polearms. Added +10 unarmed combat for Kathar Great Gang bonus, not included into the bodystat. Body stat adjusted to muscular to present more of a slave soldier tier. @Eccetra
@Staff Roleplay Application adjusted to reflect Manathar change. New section to the life story to reflect a vague recount on ic experience. Personality was updated entirely, and points were shifted to a brand new set.
My Review: Proficiency Points: The Revenants are no longer a great gang, nor does the WIS give prof. point boosts. Please remove the extra +10 points. When this change is made, tag me! @PapidaCarrot
+2 Visual arts (from points) +4 Sailing Knowledge (from points) +2 Metallurgy arts (from points) +1 Threads arts (from points) Added basic proficiencies for peacetime RP actions @Katiesc
Updated application to include Tordove family relation, readjusted proficiency points, and updated visual description. Requesting re-review! @Katiesc
@Caelamus Changes made to religion, magic, and points! As well as an official identity rename and an addition to the lifestory! EDIT: Ohh uhh! Changes made in green!
@Caelamus Made some small edits... I didn't know kathar racial passives existed, so I included them, refunded the points into combat, updated body stat, added two new spells, and lowered height. Changes made in red!
@Katiesc There was a mix-up in Vaell'aers werebeast mutations. He was transformed by Lore who is an Uthurenn. I misread the notice and mistakenly put Ursarr, when Vaell'aer should be Uthurenn. I haven't shifted or used any mutations to date with the character, so I don't believe this is too big of an issue, on top of the character only recently being afflicted. Changes made in orange, proficiencies, as well as Nym'vraes blood cast cape in the apparel section, have been updated!
