## Characters

Watcher Wordsmyth is kind-hearted and creative with words, hence his name. He has gone through some hard stuff, but usually goes with the flow. Also is a great author. Has a romantic fondness for Chimera. He can coax and convince most anyone with his words, whether through speech or his writing. Can turn into chimera as an illusionary form. Favorite color is mint.

Watcher Bytheiad works very well with Syndicate, takes loyalty to another level. Loves to learn new fighting techniques, always trying new things, and builds little trinkets. Also incredibly high metabolism. Smells like shit too, no one really knows why. He has the power of ice, to the scale where he can freeze entire cities. Can also turn into an ice hound.

Watcher LV is very extroverted, loud spoken and pretty obnoxious. Is pretty good with street magic, has a bad habit of inserting cards where they shouldn't go. Abilities include telekinesis and uses magic cards as weapons.

His musical theme is called "I Won't Have Any Money Later".

His favorite color is plum. Interestingly, there is actually two LVs. The original LV was a close friend of APC. He did many infringements of the Watcher Code, and angered Watcher Syndicate multiple times, however, some of those times were reasonable due to W. Syndicate messing with him. Eventually, LV was banished out of Watcher Faction, and had his powers terminated. He tries to spread word and preach about Watchers, but no one listens to them. Eventually becomes a street performer, living his life as an insane vagabond. He dies as a lonely old man on the street whom no one listened to.

Watcher Vendetta. Pre-Watcher name was Cyrian Delen. Not much could be said, he just has a high tolerance for difficult (and dumb) people and their stupid antics. He has pretty tough skin (metaphorically and literally) and has a fondness for fox fur. Abilities include increased general Impressions - Without speaking a word, people just get the gut feeling of liking him. Pretty good with knives and rifles.

He founded the Delen-Lesol Guild with Watcher Hyena prior to joining the Watchers, one of the greatest blacksmithing guilds.

Watcher Headstock is aloof, acts and is perceived as dumb or even ignorant of what's going on, but it's a façade that hides the fact that he knows much more than what it seems, always taking in the info and processing. Pretty good at guitar and other stringed instruments. His ability is being generally lucky - If luck is preparation + effort, he has general foresight to what happens, and has the ability to prepare for it. Can create and use monofilament wire with ease. Side note, the wires are perfectly in tune.

Watcher Velocity has a slight accent, and lisp, otherwise pretty intelligent. Uses a small bit of heroin and psychedelics every so often to get that extra power boost. Similar to Kraymen, he is pretty fast, and can provide speed bonus to people around him. Can make small blunt objects out of magic and has most mastery over blunt weapons.

Watcher Sonata roughly knows everyone, quite sociable. Increased endurance for jumping and running. Can shoot lightning. A lot of lightning. Signature skill is Alf Wawahid Barq

Watcher Void. Edge. Edge. So much edge that she cuts herself with it. Extremist with Watcher Ideals and Code. Actively strives to be the “perfect” watcher. Extremely diligent. She can actively change the strength and range of the gravitational field surrounding objects or points in space. Can either make the change affect herself or everything in general. During some point, dates a dude who was obsessed with motor vehicles, occasionally smokes, and is one hell of a hothead and hacks. Pretty good in bed and kinky. Pretty much dominant.

She was formerly part of the Alar Enclave, a group of monks striving for balance, strictly abiding by the ideals and rules set by their creator. She was originally taken in by them as an orphan, which caused her to develop both abandonment issues and strong desire to be worthy and accepted, which takes the form of devotion. On a pilgrimage, the envoy was attacked, and she was left behind because she could not keep up. Paracosm offered her safety, which lead her to devote herself to him.

They have the body and head of a monkey, four limbs (anatomically closest to arms, with a hand on the end of each), a distinct lack of a tail, ears and eyes of a goblin, sharp, pointy teeth, rough, gray, hairless skin, and sharp claws on all of its five-fingered hands. It is able to grip walls and ceilings with its claws. It is an omnivore with a preference for meat. Usually it eats bugs, worms, and small rodents that crawl into its nest. After it becomes more intelligent, it has great dexterity, and its magic aura / mana can be refined to give a speed boost ability. Some hobgoblin junkies grind various cave plants into a fine powder, and they mix it with water to create an edible paste. *“He can’t get enough of that sweet, sweet nectar. It’s a shame really. That same life bringing liquid will bring him death instead.”*

??? - A type of leech (or similar) creature that grants time-based abilities when processed. These abilities also tend to affect you negatively. When it bites you, and for as long as it is attached to you, it causes you to age at a rapid pace. This is caused by them sucking the life out of you. Death is almost always from old age. The Tenphae have an affinity towards using these creatures for various purposes.

## Systems

### Rarity

* **Inutile** - Trash. Broken Items, and needless objects. Has no value (is literally price*less*)
* **Banal** - Common Of The Common. Easily findable and of little value.
* **Peculiar** - Uncommon. A little hard to find and are of average-slightly above average value.
* **Unyielding** - Rare. Quite hard to find, and are a little pricey in value.
* **Archaic** - Very Rare. Very hard to find, and are pricey in value.
* **Vitruvian** - Exceptionally Rare. Near impossible to find, and are very expensive.
* **Sui Generis** - INCONCEIVABLY LEGENDARY, and are generally one of a kind. Extremely impossible to find, and are priceless.

### Damage Types

Damage from any weapon, attack, or outside source has some form of damage type. Each damage type is effective at certain things, against certain things, and has special effects.

* **Rend** damage is cutting force and sharpness. Is most effective against lowly armored targets, such as wildlife. Rend damage can cause bleeding.
* **Brunt** damage is blunt force. Can be effective against heavily armored foes, and is phenomenal against enemies with a solid bone structure. Can cause a stun.
* **Augury** damage is a magic force. Is slightly effective against all types of foes except other magic wielders. Can cause enemies to be knocked down.
* **Puncture** damage is stabbing/thrusting force. Is very effective against magic, and somewhat effective against armor. Can drain **Mana**.
* **Comminute** damage is from crushing force. Is extremely effective against heavy armor, but not very good at lowly-armored foes. Can drain **Fortitude**.
* **Laceration** damage is in between Rend and Brunt. Focuses on tearing an enemy apart, and is extremely effective against low armor opponents. Can tear limbs.
* **Maim** damage is in between Puncture and Brunt. Effective at shredding through internal organs, and is thusly effective against animals (including Dragons). Can cause organ failure, applying different debuffs to enemies (i.e. lung failure= less fortitude, liver failure= higher poison susceptibility, etc).
* **Cryo**, **Pyro**, **Aqua**, **Naturae**, **Tenebris**, and **Lux** damage are elemental **Augury** damage types. Effectiveness and effects are what would be expected.

### Blades & Blunt Weapon Mastery PSkills

* **Rending** - Most basic mastery type. References simple-edged weapons and is the starting mastery for blades. Focuses on Rend damage (duh).
* **Foils** - Blade mastery of dueling weapons, such as rapiers. Large focus on Laceration and Puncture damage.
* **Binate** - Blade mastery for dual swords. The focus is on Laceration and Rend.
* **Birler** - Blade mastery for single-handed axes. The focus is on Laceration and Brunt.
* **Cleave** - Mastery on heavy and dual-headed axes. Focus is primarily Brunt damage, with some Puncture and Comminute.
* **Brundr** - General mastery for Blunts. Is solely Brunt damage.
* **Crusher** - Mastery for hammers. Focus is Brunt damage, with some added Maim.
* **Pulverizer** - Mastery for great-hammers. Enormous focus on Comminute, with a good amount of Laceration and Maim.
* **Scourge** - Single mastery for whip-type weapons. Almost all Laceration, but can have Maim in some cases.
* **Shank** - Single mastery for all daggers and small-swords. Focus is on Rend and Puncture.
* **Staves** - Single mastery for all staff-type weapons, including glaives, polearms, and spears. Has a balanced focus on all physical damage types save Comminute.

## Misc Notes

Watcher Dawn found the Watcher Faction after the Shift, in attempt to organize a better effort to reinstate Paracosm. The base that was created was based off the Alpha Release base she witnessed in the Islands. It is unknown where the Alpha release building came from, it is speculated that it may be a prior universe (Omniverse), or it could be a temporally displaced Watcher Faction Base Watcher Dawn created.

Concept related to Adaptation, Stagnation, Regression, Evolution.

Concept related to existence reasonings: Volo, Sentio, Cogito (desire, feeling, thought)

Scene where a boat mutiny occurs. Each member of the crew injects a small amount of a lethal poison into the captain as a sign of shared responsibility and animosity.

3 player game of poker. Dealer has AA.

Syndicate Tsunami has AJ.

S. Tsunami complains that the game is too complicated for a girl like her, and they should play blackjack instead.

It is unknown what 3rd player has. Syndicate Tsunami feigns not understanding the game.

The third player wants to fold, but another party says "*Not yet."*. Dealer raises. S. Tsunami raises too, going all in. Dealer goes all in too. Cards are revealed to be QT5K2. S. Tsunami wins via Broadway Straight, TJQKA.

Third player has 2 pair, but dead man's hand (A of Clubs, 8 of Clubs, A of Spades, 8 of Clubs). He ends up dying, obviously

**The Sky is Falling:** After Uniting Sendurjiae, character speaks to Visgraingra. He will send you to Tylande Kiragyath. She sends character to go to Ghjaarfra’s Chasm to retrieve the Black Pendulum artifact. Character will fight a Revered Spindle Raven to receive The Pendulum’s Bob and then return back to Tylande with the [bob], and she says “*[Sigh] Guess everything must break eventually. [Looks carefully at the bob] Hey, wait a minute. It looks like something bit the bob off the pendulum. No regular animal can do this to the Black Pendulum. Something is awry…*” She will then have the character travel to Vala-Vorpal Peak, where after much searching and fighting you will come across The Scrivener of Eaethiyeer who will say “*Ahh… so it is you who killed my pet and took its treasure? | <Yes> Hmph. I enjoy your honesty, but it will not save you. I am sorry. <No> Hmph. So you lie, mortal? Let us see if you can DIE as well.| Under the Sky Goddess’ command, I must slay thee, for you tread upon a dangerous path to my master. You must now realize that it is Eaethiyeer’s hunger which took the rest of the Pendulum, no? I mustn't let you go back to the Kolovikiok and inform them of her return to the feast. I… MUSTN’T. I… cannot…*” Then the fight with the Scrivener happens

During the cool fight (tm) Syndicate Dawn is able to use this power along with Watcher Syndicate’s connection to all of CS. This is why the neat weapon montage happens the way it does. The logic hole of why each weapon is temporarily used for one or two attacks is fixed (she “pays for the spells” by “exiling them”- the temporary manifestation of something is sustained by the previous existence of it) A new present issue arises- implying that those weapons/etc are erased from CS. A potential work around is just have them be erased from Watcher Syndicate’s memory (same generalized sludge mana pool as CS) though that doesn’t resolve nicely

### Marthe Makroccm - Simple Confectioner

Former member of the Iron Hammer; Ice Blessing was granted to her by the Tsarina after she displayed enormous amounts of loyalty to her cause一originally viewing the Iron Hammer as people who negotiated and spread Zemlyasaya’s technological advancements around Phantasia. Her original role within Iron Hammer was helping international negotiations in embassies in each city around Appar Operis, negotiating import and export laws, along with alliances. She’s good with her words.

However, upon learning of the Herald’s actions underneath the Tsarina’s orders一installing posts to spy on other nations and control to a certain degree over the governments of other cities一she approached the Tsarina in an attempt to relieve her position in the Iron Hammer since she no longer believed in the cause. Out of respect, the Tsarina offered a higher position to Marthe, possibly as one of her own Heralds rather than a measly advisor to the grunts within the Iron Hammer ranks.

Marthe, however, still turns this down, repeating that she doesn’t agree with the actions that the Tsarina has abused with her power. Respecting this individual’s perseverance in terms of her stance, the Tsarina offers: “If you relinquish your Blessing, you may continue to call Zemlyasaya your home. You are always welcome back.”

Marthe, while powerful enough on her own without her Blessing hesitated. As a person who found persuasion naturally, she offered something else. “Rather than relinquishing my Blessing, may I relinquish my Zemlyasayan citizenship? I wish to start a small traveling business of sorts, perhaps in what the people of Fondcois call ice cream? You won’t have to see my face again or be wary of my glove being thrown your way in instigation. I don’t wish to ever see you as an enemy, my dear Tsarina.”

Then good old Marthe found herself leaving her home city at the age of twenty, traveling Phantasia for a good two years before winding up on the streets of Damtondst, becoming good friends with the merchants that littered the trade and passage routes of the many cities, selling her ice cream and befriending those who threw a smile her way.
