"Each of the three races used their own powers to create life.  The Gods created sentients because they needed to be worshiped.  The titans saw this and became jealous, so used their advanced knowledge to engineer their own forms of life.  But before either of them, the Stars had unleashed life's very essence.  They let loose life and it took it's own path.  The gods like to claim everything as theirs, but most of it isn't."Wade claps his hands together with an intense BANG!"But enough of that!  It's time for the test."The titanforged motions everybody to move in."Alrighty! Fun time.  This test comes in two integrated parts.  The physical part is simple: Beat me in combat.  The mental part involves THIS" his hand opens and a small black egg comes out.  "This is a Titan Artifact.  Once activated, this device drains energy from whomever holds it, increasing its drain the longer it is in contact with life.  If it is NOT in contact with someone living for more than a few seconds, it will expel all the energy it has absorbed.  The energy drain will only affect the living, but Expulsion will harm any being that is NOT living twice as much as it drained.  SO, the question is how long do you wish to allow it to drain you before using it on me?"Wade holds his hand out, low enough for anybody to grab the egg.  "We will begin whenever you are ready to take the egg.  Do not worry about destroying me - You cannot.  And I will not kill you during this test."[ooc]OK, so to explain the mechanics a bit more in depth: The egg deals damage to whichever living player is holding it at the end of each round, increasing the damage each consecutive round it's held by the same person.  'Holding' it does not have to take up your hands, it can easily be stored in a pocket (Swift action to retrieve).Passing the egg to another character is a move action which requires one free hand, and it can be tossed across the room with ease and accuracy.  A character may also TAKE it from another player as a standard action disarm check (If both are willing, no check required).If the Egg is outside of a players grasp at end of round, the egg will 'go off', dealing twice the damage it absorbed to wade.Initiative will begin as soon as somebody takes the egg.  Whoever grabs it spends a move action to do so, and then may act, followed by Wade, and then everybody else.  [/ooc]</blockquote>
