Would Gideon know Kyle, my Arghyonian character?

I think it would be very cool for them to have some sort of association. They both have talents that would be useful to each other, which is typically the basis for all of Gideon's relationships. Gideon is more than twice his age, however, so this would be a new development.

Indeed. Perhaps Gideon knew Kyle's adoptive father, Deuel, first?

Also, do you have a Discord account? I prefer discussing matters in IM, if possible.

But if not, we can talk here.

Edited a bit to add that Kyle's father was adoptive.

Welcome!
Well, the main reason for why I've kept old apps around as NPC's is specifically to keep them close if the players were to return, so you could just use the old app and jump straight back in the action

To be honest, I hope my characters develop too.

Hey Trac, I have a kinda crazy idea for a character, but I need to ask a question first. Does a relic necessarily need to be a tangible object, something that can be physically interacted with? Or can it be something more obscure, like an enchantment (or curse) that attaches itself to a lving being and lives in a state of dormancy until the individual it is attached to comes into contact with a great enough pool of mana it can draw off of to activate, or can activate by drawing off the existing mana of the person it's attached to?

Looks interesting, may sign up...if I can’t I’ll just watch.

Hmm, that's a really good question

Initially yes, it would have had to be a physical object because the soul that would become a relic had to have been forced into an object as part of the creation ritual.

But there are three ways through which a relic could become what you want it to become.

The first would be for it to be a failed relic. So initially when it was created, there would have been some sort of a failure in the ritual that would have fragmented the soul in question and attached a part of it to the spell itself. That however would be a bit more difficult to explain since it wouldn't be fully a relic, it would probably be weaker than one, and it would have had to keep attaching itself to living beings in order to survive.

The second would be for the relic's power to be becoming an enchantment or a curse. So there is a tangible object hidden somewhere, perhaps long buried beneath a blighted Thyrian town, but the relic can as its ability break a part of its soul and have that fragment be the enchantment or curse that attaches itself.

The third is a variation of the second in that the relic could have a recurrent cycle - it could be a small tangible object like a piece of jewelry or something. When coming into contact with a living being, it can then transfer as a curse to it, and then by draining them of their mana it can eventually take over them, and as the last act of that living thing's body, the relic can use them to return to the original object until someone picks them back up.

You'd be more than welcome to join!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask xD

Thanks! I’m in three RPs at the moment but two of them are VERY slow and I haven’t been in a good fantasy RP for a while. I already have some character ideas, but I’ll wait a couple of days just to make sure I’m not too busy to give this one the time it deserves.

Well, we're not too stringent in terms of requirements for activity, but yeah, it's alright for you to make sure first!

You can try to join at any time

I literally cannot find a single picture that fits my character, I’ve got a specific image in my head and NOTHING is fitting, I’m frustrated.

Hmm, try to describe it. I think some people here are almost like semi professional character appearance finders lol. Might be able to help ya out.

Well I actually tried drawing it myself, but she’s a vampire with dark skin, white hair and orange eyes. I don’t even need it to have all the features, just one or two but the dark skin is the most important, I can just describe eyes and hair in parentheses. I appreciate the advice Exil, thank you.

I feel like I've seen something like this atleast once. So we'll see.

So, will it be a vampire? Thought of what kind of Vampire?

how long is the hair and how dark is the skin, that's my question. depending on your answer i may have something for you

Her hair is short, and her skin is like a rich medium brown, I say like a chocolate color
And she’ll be a Moroi.

Yeah, as the other have pointed out, I like vampires and I've always wanted us to have more vampire characters xD

As for the picture, hmm, I'll look around too, there should be something like it around the internet - if not there are plenty of nice character image creation tools, Fereni is the expert there but I can also try
