Appendix 6 - Character List and Character Sheets
🕑 Added 2021-11-21 00:05:01 +0000 UTCIf I missed a character, please let me know; it's easy to do with a large cast, and the cast's getting pretty big.

Stojan Aith is here; she's definitely nonstandard for her Tier, but I thought you guys might like to see her sheet.

----------------
Short version of City Lord Stojan Aith’s Status including bonuses from gear and the necklace.
The necklace gave Might and Understanding - since she had a very low Might, it resulted in a bigger increase than she received to her Understanding; the fact that she’s over-cap in Understanding says that this was an exceedingly unusual item.
She’d had exactly one Tier 5 Path. No further Paths were available to her. After all, she only broke one world; she stepped onto a Path and didn’t follow it. That tends to result in fewer Path offerings.
The fact that the Voice despises her doesn’t help, but didn’t actually cut off any Paths - it simply means the Voice won’t shade things in her favor.
Control is a rare stat; she had it automatically for being a Dhampir Noble. It has to do with how much of a Pack she can gather and what she can do with them. She always maxed it - though it may be worth noting that she doesn’t seem to have one anymore.

Serenity’s Status
General
Magic
Physical
Abilities
Evoker abilities that are still locked:
Level 50 - Spell Conversion - You can convert the power of any spell you can Evoke into a ranged mana or essence strike. The power of the strike depends on the stored spell power.
Level 75 - Store Spell - You may temporarily store spells in items to be evoked later. The item must be strong enough to hold the spell, and synergy with the spell will slow spell degradation. Stored spells will degrade with time and nearby mana or essence use. Storage of spells can damage items used.
Level 100 - Designate Evocation Conditions - You may designate conditions on when a stored spell can be evoked. You can bypass any conditions you set, but you cannot bypass conditions set by other Evokers. This allows you to set conditions that will allow non-Evokers to Evoke stored spells, but spells Evoked by the untrained will be significantly degraded during the evocation.

Serenity’s Titles
Previous Supreme Existence
You were the Supreme Existence in a previous incarnation, and can remember some of what came before. Your status also grants you the Ghost in the System title. This title is hidden from all but you.
First of A Kind
You are the first True Chimera and the first Essence Dragon. Your Paths shall shape the future of those who follow in your footsteps.
Named
Your Name is known and respected or feared. No other can bear this Name.
Ghost in the System
You bypass certain restrictions. This title is hidden unless you share it with another.
Aspect Pathfinder
As the first person to discover a new Aspect, Concept, and Affinity, you set the path for those who follow you on the road of Essence Magic. Creating new methods and applying methods from other magical schools is easier.
Incarnate
More than an Aspect, you are an Incarnate. Your Concept sets what the meaning of the Affinity you Incarnate does and does not mean. Your Incarnate will always be a part of you, and you will always be a part of it.
As an Incarnate, you are not capable of combining or otherwise altering this Affinity.
There cannot be more than one Incarnate for an Affinity at a time, as no two people will ever have identical Conceptions of an Affinity.
Lord
You are recognized as the ruler of a Settlement. This comes with certain rights as long as you are within the Settlement or interacting with people who are identified as belonging to the Settlement. This Title will be removed if you are no longer the Lord of a Settlement.
DeathLord
You have a high enough combined Death Affinity, Concept, and Aspect to qualify to rule a Necropolis.

Comments
He can still use them the way he used to. The primary difference is that because he now requires them to live, he's no longer rated on how compatible he is with them (Affinity).
With the end of arc 4, I'm going to ask about something I've been slightly confused about since it happened, what does having Essence and Mana as Vital Forces and losing them as affinities actually mean? Can he still use them the same way he would when he had them as affinities, can he regain them as affinities or does having them as Vital Forces make that not possible?
