Trying my hand at my own plan, not that I really expect much traction but I just had an idea I liked. If my google-fu is correct, and who knows there, Kamalani should mean something like Heavenly or Treasured Child.
Basically it came down to the fact I really like the idea of a Cloud path, I can think of a few way to grow it depending on what other Madra types we'd incorporate. Also while I agree with others in the thread that I wouldn't want to push for a hard Crafting focus, knowing a little soulsmithing so as to be able to do proper maintenance of any treasures we find/commission/start with and maybe be able to make a few non-combat utility items is always a handy skill.
As to gender I am ambivalent I don't really care too much but in my head for some reason I see my plan as a girl <shrug>. My head is a weird place I don't recommend delving too deep. Though I'll probably approval vote for Gender Fluid because that could be an interesting perspective.
Finally the talent, the idea that when our character is born our parents say "This child is the Treasure promised to us by our great Ancestor" or something like that appeals to me. We get a shiny treasure out of it as well as a lot of built in pressures and story hooks that we can snag or ignore or rail against as the thread decides. But the idea caught me so gonna give it a shot.
[X] Plan: Kamalani
- [X] B. A boy shot down faster than you fell, wrapping you in his arms as he held you close. Your older brother
Tama Soft-Storm held you gently, his Enhancement making him as gentle as a nursemaid. A puff of cloud coming from his feet as you both landed at the shoreline, neither of your crushed by the impact as the clouds protect you.
You are a member of the Soft-Storm family, a family of Cloud artists - your family and the related families create and maintain the cloud bridges that connect Spire to Spire, and allow your home to be called united.
Your starting path is the Path of Tamed Storms, a pure Cloud path with a focus on Soulsmithing.
- [X] 2. Sister (Female) (She/Her)
- [X] K. Treasured -
You were born under a star that meant you matched a family prophecy from an oracle - and thanks to that, you are set to inherit a valuable family treasure that will be valuable through to your Gold stages.
For the purpose of approval voting I'm also gonna stick my other choices down here
- [X] A. A stone hand reached out from the cliff face, and grabbed a hold of you. It was still rough stone and you could feel the bruises forming, as you looked up to you sister
Merae Spire-Carver, whose Forged hand had caught you - and then began to raise you upwards towards her, back onto the path you were once on.
You are a member of the Spire-Cutter family, a family of Earth artists - your family are the premiere architects of the Salted Spires, and every home, every shop, every window has been made and maintained by a member of your family or their branches.
Your starting path is the Path of Carved Stone, a pure Earth path with a focus on solid techniques and construction.
- [X] 4. Brother/Sister (Genderfluid) (All of the above, depending.)
- [X] G. Sagacious - In matters of spirit, you take to change like a fish to water. You are better at cycling than most of your peers, and reached Copper younger than most. This does not aid in learning techniques.
- [X] H. Full-Bodied -
You have always been blessed with greater physical prowess than those your age - you are taller, stronger, and tougher than all of your peers. You can out wrestle the kids three years your senior.
Also some random musings because I am apperently not done yet...somehow
For a Cloud path, good secondary Madra types would be things like Dream (cloud watching) or Force for adding some soildity/punch to our abilities. But also something like Fire to turn towards makeing a Smoke or Ash based path would also be a possibility.
If the Earth path does win I am so gonna be pushing for adding Fire to make a Lava/Volcano path. Pele was a big important goddess for a reason! LAVA SURFING
Now I should go rest I have ranted a weirdly long time for me...back to the lurking shadows!
