Raedeen: Difference between revisions

A marriage between psionic technology and biological flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical powers. They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology. Some cultures, such as the elves of the plains, take these features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the dormant avadri technology across the planet. Others, however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen around their uncontrolled powers. Their sensitivity to magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic manipulation.

Corrupted raedeen strive to protect ideologies, individuals, or organizations that are twisted reflections of what avadri once cherished. Creativity, power, and the ability to exert one’s will over the chaos around them always appealed to avadri, so a corrupted raedeen might be drawn to an iron- fisted dictator or a shortsighted pioneer trying to deforest a tract of land. Corrupted raedeen have formed an outlook that, while reminiscent of their avadri ancestry, is actually near the opposite of what their ancestors might have wanted.

Long before the first sapient life developed on Ancerra, hyper-advanced avadri fell into eons-long dream cycles where they imagined new realities and contemplated the great philosophies of the universe. Dreaming raedeen follow in the footsteps of these avadri. They excel at problem- solving and manifest psionic abilities that they can use to protect their allies and harry their foes.

Paragon raedeen hold more nuanced views of power, creativity, and control than their corrupted kin. They seek to exemplify the delicate balance of all three, as the

paragon avadri did in the days of old. For some, this means seeking out authoritarian rulers and punishing them for irresponsible use of power. Other raedeen seek quieter lives, spending their days perfecting beautiful artisanal crafts, songs, or dances.

'''Height:''' 6’0" - 7’6”

'''Lifespan:''' Raedeen have slightly above the average lifespan of a human (roughly 80 – 110 years), regardless of their parent race. This often leads to tragedy if they are born to a longer-lived race such as elves, as they will age and die far sooner and faster than their parents.
