Remnant: Difference between revisions

Long before sapient creatures began building their civilizations, ancient and long-forgotten deities sculpted Ancerra. Their tools were powerful machinations of magic and technology, shaping and maintaining Ancerra’s storied terrain. Eons later, shards of these tools lay forgotten, abandoned by their original purpose. Now with the advent of widespread magic, sometimes these shards, these remnants, find themselves awake and with memories that [[blur]] and blend together. These wandering souls seek out an esoteric something, whether that be a master or true freedom. Most cannot describe it in words of any mortal tongue. Remnants are highly empathic, and often sensitive to the emotional energies of the people they surround themselves with.

Not every tool must be a weapon. Remnants can be the remains of anything: an ecological manipulation device, an [[arcane]] observatory, a dimensional [[gateway]], etc. Their forms, though humanoid, are varied; however, they always share the sharp geometric patterns and bismuth-like formations of stone that make up their body. Remnants have personalities as varied as any other lineage, but they all possess an existential desire to be useful. Whether that translates to overthrowing tyrants or creating toys for children, remnants believe that all living beings are designed to compliment one another in a grand, cosmic symbiosis. Remnants find it abhorrent when sapient creatures act in a selfish manner.

|You cannot wear [[Armor]], but your base AR begins at 12. You can integrate armor into your form by spending at least one hour disassembling it and customizing it to your form. Armor integrated in this way grants all its magical bonuses, but none of the AR. You can only integrate one suit of armor at a time; if you want to integrate a new set of armor, you must first eject your current form of armor. Ejected armor regains all of its original properties and provides no benefit to you unless you integrate it again.
