Children Born Through Shadows: Vorso Legacy

[OneBrainCell]

Your mother is of Essharan origin, raised in the ruins of Pauper as an orphan, well adapted to the ways of life within the country. Such origins have made her a dedicated and hard working woman who began with nothing but a false name only to become the heir of the Vorso name and legacy, a leader and founder of the budding city Novus, and an established artificer in her own right.

Growing up, you would be well doted upon by your adoring mother.  To her, you were her pride and joy above any technological advancement or settlement she could create. She would try to enstill a natural curiosity of the world, a desire to examine what exists and improve upon it. Pursuits into creative and progressive interests such as artificing, alchemy, and arts would be fully encouraged by your mother and all efforts possible would be given to ensure your success in whatever you put your mind to. 

Despite her urges to see you grow, she is fiercely overprotective, monitoring your progress and safety closely throughout your life and more so as you grow into your own person. Being strongly opinionated, she openly voices what she believes is in your best interest, but can be convinced otherwise with a good enough arguement.

Your father is of Barsburgian origin, born as the sole magi within a family of non-magi. At thirteen he came to Esshar with a group of childhood friends intent on changing the country for the better. His origins within a non-magi family gave him a greater appreciation for a good work ethic and the value of striving for what you want in life instead of having it handed to you. With such a stern view, his efforts have born fruit in the creation of the city Novus, the introduction of innovative technomancy for non-magi and those of weaker magical ties, as well as establishing environments and regimens to enhance the physical strength of ones body not just the magical.

When you looked at your father carefully during your childhood his expressions were often stern, a look ingrained upon his face from years of military experience and protecting others, but when he came face to face with you, when he faced your mother, the expression on his face always softened in an instant. For him, you are his pride and joy, and where he might not have the answer for everything, he was always happy to help you in any way possible.

Despite his stern look, he worries about you a lot, distancing himself from you just enough that you can learn more about life and the choices it has to offer. However, just like your mother, he is very open with his words if he feels you might need a bit more direction on the right track.

⚘ There are two children that will be available to play in 1902 and another two children who will be available to play in 1905.

⚘ Your mother has scarlet hair and your father is a brunette, however, ebony hair does also run in your bloodline.

⚘ You may choose between scarlet or emerald eyes as those are what your parents have. (Genetic mutations optional and may be discussed)

⚘ Both of your parents are human, but there is Rhoynish blood on your mother's side that might have seeped through.

⚘ You were raised outside of factions and have loyalty to none, however, there are some you have been warned about growing up. Your developing years will be spent as your parents establish the new settlement of Novus and many of your views will likely be shaped by its growth.

⚘ You were raised outside traditional religious teachings and led to believe in understanding and scholarly pursuits. You have no bias toward specific magics as good or evil.

⚘ You are highly encouraged to play into your parent's magic (or lack thereof.) Both bloodlines are incredibly potent and if you choose to follow in their footsteps you will receive interesting benefits.

⚘ If it matters, your parents are fairly well off in regards to supplies, dev items, and coin. Your mother is more than happy to make you custom uniques as you come to age.

⚘ Your family and bloodline are full of secrets and twists. A level of restraint and secrecy is required.

⚘ Given that your parents have some very potent dev to pass along, we request that the applicants preferably use this character as their main. While alternate characters are understandable, we ask a particular amount of focus be granted. More details shall be given upon being chosen.
