[QUOTE="magic_gathering2001, post: 4539845, member: 32001"] I'm glad you like him. As soon as I picked up the book, I knew I wanted to play a completely clueless mage, who wanted to 'educate' new mages. This character is the final result of quite a bit of thinking. That being said, some of the aspects could tie in a little better to the concept, especially the gnosis of 3 and the last arcana. Speaking of which, I think I'll change the merit in resources to the shared hallow, preferably for the mana restoring thing that I forget the name of. One thing I was wondering: would you allow me to create a legacy for the awakening of sleepers? Here's the idea so far, if you can ignore the lack of terms at the moment: [sblock] ruling arcana: prime secondary arcana: unsure mana restoration: Participate in a sleeper occult ritual (such as demonic summoning). Then, ensure that the ritual achieves its desired effect (through magic or otherwise). Any mana used to achieve this <name> is restored in addition to the normal amount. If a paradox occurs, increase its severity by one degree, and double the mana recovered. [B] Open the Eyes: Gnosis 3(4) Prime 2 Cast supernal vision on another. Sleepers cannot be affected.[/B] Trial: The initiate must hear the story of another mage's awakening. The story doesn't have to be a vivid descriptive ordeal. However, the other mage must tell only the truth, and not leave out any important aspects of their awakening (as determined by GM). After the story is over, the legacy must attempt to recreate the other mage's awakening as completely as possible, attempting to live the awakening of another to better understand how they work. [B] Spark the Essence Gnosis 5(6) Prime 3 or 4 Transfer a point of mana to a Sleeper by touch. The affected sleeper will feel only a slight boost, as described by the spell <name>. However, the mana will remain in the sleeper indefinitely, not subject to disbelief (rumor's state that a small number of Sleepers actually spent the mana, although more enlightened awakened attribute this phenomenon to another mage's interference.)[/B] Trial: (goes with the gnosis, not the effect) The mage must attempt to live as a sleeper for an entire month. He must consciously choose when to begin his trial. Once he begins, he loses all knowledge of his awakened life (but is given a new sleeper name) until the month passes. On the last day of the month, he undergoes his own awakening again, although the choices he picks may not be the same. When the awakening is complete, he regains all lost knowledge. [B] Gnosis 7(8) Open the eyes can now target sleepers Prime 4 or 5 I think this may actually be where Spark the essence goes, but I have forgotten what I wanted for the third (or second?) attainment[/B] Trial: The mage must participate in the awakening of a sleeper. The mage does not need to be aware of his part, but the part needs to be significant in the sleeper's awakening. The mage does not need to meet the prerequisites of this attainment before completing this part of the trial. When the mage wants to reach this level of attainment, they must enter the dreamworld (forgot the name, but its the dream of all people). Therein, the person's dream will call them through a trial that mirrored the other's awakening. Should the mage survive, they acheive this attainment. Gnosis 10 Awaken the Sleeping Prime 5 The two ruling arcana from any watchtower (I know you aren't using them, but it would be far too easy otherwise) The sleeper awakens as a sleepwalker. Depending on the caster's relationship with the sleepwalker, the caster may spend points in the sleepwalker merit. If the caster chooses, and meets the secondary requirement, he can instead awaken the Sleeper as a mage following the path whose ruling arcana he used to meet the secondary requirement. Again, this does not convey loyalty that wasn't already there, but the caster would be able to mold and instruct the new mage. The mage must use all of his attainments upon a single sleeper every day for a week. At the end of the week, they gain this attainment and the sleeper awakens on a path chosen by the DM(not sure about this trial, it seems slightly weird...) [/sblock] I would like to incorporate it into my character, either as the founding member, or if you want to use it as an organization. If you do, I would like to have already completed the first trial with Charles. Edit: For rights, (thank you Annalist for the formatting again) Right of Crossing - Yes Right of Emeritus - Maybe Right of Hospitality - Yes Right of Nemesis - No Right of Sanctuary - Yes As for the place. I would prefer somewhere that Joseph can attend grad school nearby, so Cambridge works well for me (I have absolutely no idea where UMass is, so if its not nearby, he could take grad school at Harvard) [/QUOTE]
