If he chooses to involve himself with local criminal organizations, he would be involved in piracy and smuggling work (it is an archapeligo world). Organized crime in Greyport doesn't particularly care about petty thieves when they can make a killing robbing merchants on the open seas. S@squ@tch:I don't know the ultimate magus class, please explain. After book learning casters, sorcerers get the next most respect. They are also more common in densely populated areas of Ereva because of all the stray magical energy (as are warlocks, for that matter). Also, please provide some background on your master.Isida Kep'Tukari:I like the concept. Wu-Jen (I'm calling them Elamentalists from now on) are also major members in Erevan society, especially away from urban colleges of magic. They often serve as leaders in smaller villages and towns closer to nature. You might also consider a slightly more restrictive taboo--not crippling or anything, but something that might come into play every now and then. Phoenix8008:I'll just summarize how a psionic character can expect to be treated in Ereva. In villages and more distant areas, psionic characters are treated like witches in medeival Europe. They are usually persecuted and killed. In big cities, they are shunned, much like a warlock would be anywhere else. This is because there is widespread fear of Keraj, a neighboring empire in which psionics is central like magic is in Ereva. The common people fear that anyone psionic is a mind-controlled spy or agent of Keraj. (Keraj and Ereva are unnoficaily at war, and have been for well over 100 years) The Erevan government, however recognizes the value of psionic agents in infiltrating Keraj (they distrust spellcasters as much as Ereva distrusts psychics). If you work with the Erevan government you get some measure of protection and privelige, but no more respect. In a city, being discovered and recruited is highly likely.PhoenixAsh:Again, I like the concept. You can pick what the tattoo is. 5 years is pretty close to what a commoner like yourself could expect for killing someone while drunk. A wizard in good standing would get a lighter sentance, probably. Would you want to be a member of the Esdah's personal army or the Army of the High Emperor. (This affects wheter you'd be fighting inside Ereva or fighting on the frontier against Ereva's foreign enemies).</blockquote>
