Hobbies and Talents:
- Magical Talent
- Writing/Journalism
- Diplomacy
Mechanics:
- Yanar can regrow or re-attach lost limbs over the span of 24 hours after they were lost, they cannot become Undead unless an Ordial Entity intervenes.
- Yanar can speak to plants and trees, and even encourage them to grow faster or hide, or change their appearance.
- Yanar can manifest a dream realm where anyone who sleeps in their Region/Base/Estate can travel to.
- Ailor make for excellent negotiators. Ailor gain +2 on top of every Persuasion Dice roll result, and their Persuasion Cap is also increased by +2 for every Dice Roll. These effects only apply to non-Afflicted, non-Mystech individuals, as their speech and habits are entirely fine-tuned to the more mundane aspects of global society, they must venture beyond their comfort zone to be able to reach Magic things.
- Ailor are masters of languages, which is expected given their habit to culturally divides. Because so many of their languages are inter-connected, various words become more obviously related, and they also take more effort to learn other languages. If someone insults an Ailor, even in a language they do not speak, the Ailor would know, as they know most curse words or words by which to speak ill of others in all languages.
Languages:
- Altalar (High Elven)
- Nātl (Nahuatl)
- Silmaan
- Agasi (Elven Hindi)
- Barrudh (Old Norse)
- Wai-lan (Middle Chinese)

PLOT HOOKS
Scholar
Hickory is a scholar and has jumped around academies, schools, mentors, to get as much knowledge as she could. She has a tenacity to be inquisitive and extroverted so it's likely if your character has been in any academic settings they may have heard rumours or even encountered Hickory. However, she remains very private and makes it a point that she has no biases leading to her struggling to make friends with people she encounters.
Half Born
Though she tries not to be broken up about it, she struggles to feel like she belongs as a human or an elf. Therefore she doesn't act to stereotypes of either humans or Yanar. She even uses half of her wild-born name because she found little Ailor kids liked it. Still, she tries to squeeze her way into each world, rather unconsciously because she wants to be accepted by them. This is shown in whether she changes her skin to human pale or her Yanar green.
Journalistic Adventurer
She is likely to go on adventures and expeditions to unknown, dangerous, criminal lands if it means she gets to learn more. It's because of this tenacity and lack of fear that she's compiled books about her discoveries… however she's too embarrassed to actually publish them so they sit in her room collecting dust. Though she hasn't published anything she is always on the hunt for something that she can use that will give her recognition in the scholar community.
Romance/Friendships
Hickory doesn't mind romance but she feels like her standards are impossibly high because of the romance she sees from her parents. This goes for how she views both friendships and romance, but she worries that her interest in knowledge may lead her into darker territories someday as her parents feared. She hates to feel too overprotected and conversely leaves others to their own devices, only giving them the knowledge they want. Additionally, she wants to stay as unbiased as possible and fears that connections to people will stray her integrity to the pursuit of knowledge. Therefore, she feels if she gets too attached that will become a hindrance in her research.
BACKSTORY
Hickory was born to a Ferlon Yanar parent, Inyel, and an Ailor mother, Shiva, in Regalia within their flower shop that was also their home. Hickory enjoyed her childhood carefree, but later grew to learn it was due to the watchful eye of Inyel. Inyel had a very rough and isolating life until they moved to the city then fell in love with Shiva. Both of her parents then imparted on her, kindness, generosity, and curiosity that was until she couldn't be sheltered anymore.
A childhood friend of hers was attacked and brutally killed when Hickory accidentally left their side and got lost as they were playing together. The incident was never fully talked about by Hickory, but she fell into a depressive episode because of it.
However, Shiva softly tried to get through to her and would find herself giving Hickory her favourite books, all of which she thought a young child would find way too boring. Yet every day Hickory devoured the books and her curiosity about history, magic, and Aloria at large seemed to have her spellbound.
Inyel taught her everything they knew about Yanar and Shiva taught her more about history. Though, even with their combined knowledge, it wasn't enough and Hickory begged to be a part of the Scribe Order. Though Shiva was more lenient Inyel was the one to refute it and tried to get Hickory to focus on the flower shop. Eventually, Hickory decided to sneak out and run away. She first attended Regalian Archaeology Academy, but found herself wanting more when she taught herself magic. She went to the Society of Observation and Regalian Diplomatic Academy and finally found a way into Litántha Allornata. She was looked down upon for jumping to so many academies and always jumping to too many subjects that she failed exams.
She wanted to know as much as she could and become the best scholar she could. Feeling like an outcast, despite her parents protection, from being fully Yanar or fully Ailor made her yearn for a way to contribute to the world in a way she could be omnipresent in a way. Knowledge was that power to look at everything without being involved, or so Hickory believed.
Years had passed and she joined the Scribe Order right before returning to her home and her parents. The reunion was tense, but love was still there. Still, a divide had been created that clued Hickory in that she needed to be elsewhere. With a more proper goodbye, she set out to be on her own and to finally start her research into the world of Aloria. Of course, beginning in her home, Regalia.
