Baron Coialos
Race: Elf
Age: 43
Height:
Strength: Weak
Appearance: Baron Coialos is not your typical wandering hero. He has the long pointed ears of a nature-blooded elf, his silvery white hair tied back in a pony-tail to accent them. His features are fairly round, though seem more severe in combination with his unusual chromatic eyes. When Baron smiles, he smiles wide; when Baron laughs, he laughs deeply. Baron does not have the physique of an elven warrior. He is soft around the edges and carries a few extra pounds in his gut. Nonetheless he seems to move through the world gracefully, as if the extra weight were inconsequential. Baron's attire is usually a combination of whites and greys, capped with his favourite duster coat, a patchwork affair that has been repaired so many times its hard to tell if it was originally (or currently) brown, grey or black.
Aspects, Talents and Skills
Forever Dreaming - Baron is a waking dreamer, tied strongly to vital magic and especially to the way it intersects with the dreams of others. Vital magic comes easily to him and he always has a little extra to spare. [Vital Heart: Waking Dreamer]
- 0 - You are always aware of when you are dreaming unless you desire otherwise (some tasks such as vision quests may require you play along to benefit). You also remain aware of your surroundings in the waking world while resting. Furthermore, you gain complete control over your sleep cycle, allowing you to begin or end dreaming at a moment’s notice. Finally, you gain a personal dream realm of sorts that you can enter while dreaming – this realm does not otherwise really exist.
- 1 - You can sense the presence of minds other than your own, allowing you tell roughly how many people are in an area (just you, a couple, a few dozen, etc). People actively trying to hide are not sensed by this ability.
- 2 - You gain the ability to send a visionary dream to another while resting or meditating. You must be at least somewhat familiar with the target. The exact nature of the dream depends on the target, but your general point will make itself known. If the target is awake, they will receive the dream when they next sleep.
- 3 - You learn to recognize thoughts related to you, and can pick out who and where they are coming from. The nature of those thoughts is unclear to you, however (e.g, you know when someone is thinking about you but not what they are thinking). People actively trying to hide can still be sensed by this ability. Maximum range 1000'.
Join Me, Won't You? - Baron's eyes sometimes appear to be an infinitely deep sea. Those who are not otherwise distracted or actively resisting find themselves drawn into a daydream if they gaze too long into his eyes, and Baron may choose to join them for a private chat. (Daydreamers of this kind gain Baron's 'Always Dreaming' ability for the duration.)
Always Dreaming - Baron does not sleep; Baron is always sleeping. Rather than truly sleeping or being completely awake, Baron diverts his attention between the waking world and dreamscapes. While he can only fully concentrate on and act in one or the other, he remains at least vaguely aware of both and can move easily between them.
Dreams Not Forgotten - In his youth, Baron fancied himself a mage. He travelled to Verto and he immersed himself in the city for a time... it didn't really take, but it did leave him a little wiser in regards to matters of the arcane. Baron is almost as knowledgeable about magic as a true mage, and spends 35 gold to learn spells outside of his aspects.
Sights Not Shown - Baron's eyes are more than dreamy, they shift and change in ways most others don't. Baron is a visionary, able to draw on umbral magic to see things that others can't. Umbral magics are so natural to him that their effects are often multiplied. [Umbral Soul: Visionary]
- 0 - You were born with unusual eyes, mixtures of black, silver, and white whose pattern reflects whatever visionary abilities you are currently using (specifics vary from person to person). With focus, you can see magic as though it were a faintly glowing light source.
Spells and Magic
Vital
- 1 - Divine - Sense the presence of any fey or spirits around you and get a sense of their mood.
- 2 - Peer - Allows you to see and decipher other people's auras, revealing their emotions.
- 3 - Anchor - Tether a target's life-force to their current location, causing them to feel a psychic pull towards that spot and weakening them the further they move from that location. Only lasts five posts and can only be cast on each target once per encounter.
Sharp Things, Shiny Things and Other Things
A Sharp Thing - A hardened glass short sword, hardly a formidable weapon but honed to a sharp edge regardless. Its hilt is a spiralling silver, set with a single sapphire at its pommel. Runes blown into the glass cause it to retain its edge without sharpening. [Modifier 2]
A Shiny Thing - A rare chunk of crystallised auroil in the shape of an irregular star. Its colour changes depending on the light. Can be permanently soaked, suffused or otherwise combined with an item to grant it power as though its material were aura-touched.
Some Dull Necessities - The required accoutrements of every would-be adventurer, hero and ne'er-do-well. A belt or two tied in strategic locations, a few small pouches, some knick-knacks a pile of silver and a reasonable amount of gold.
