Time Bandits

Game Master Monkeygod

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20st; Slot chest; Weight 5 lbs.

This well-made leather vest bears numerous shiny metal buttons, which stud ten bulging pockets. Each pocket is similar to a miniature bag of holding, able to contain up to 5 cubic foot of material weighing as much as 50 pounds. In addition any living creature of suitable size placed within a pocket has enough air for 1 minute, after which it starts suffocating. Anything stored in the vests's pockets is effectively weightless and doesn't affect the wearer's carrying capacity so long as the vest is worn appropriately.
While worn, the vest responds to its wearer's desire. Retrieving a specific item is a move action.
Once per day, as a standard action, the wearer can speak the vest’s command word and order it to bring forth all the standard tools required to make checks for any one Craft or Profession skill. These tools are considered masterwork tools and appear in the countless pockets of the vest or, if too heavy, on the floor, on a nearby shelf, on a workbench, or in a toolbox or cupboard that appears nearby. Once summoned, they remain for 24 hours or until another creature touches them, whichever comes first. These tools do not have to be stored in the extradimensional pockets, of course. They are summoned from an unknown plane.
The vest also protects the wearer from many work-related accidents. Once per day the wearer may reroll a failed skill check or saving throw. In addition, once per day as an immediate action, the vest automatically casts Remove Blindness/Deafness, Remove Curse, Remove Disease or Remove Paralysis should such a condition be imposed on the wearer.

Destruction
The vest is destroyed if someone untrained in any Craft skill vanadalizes a major piece of art or engineering worth at least 5.000 gp while wearing it. In this case the vest implodes and does 20d6 damage to the wearer.

TEN MINUTE BACKGROUND

1-Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character.
-Gabriel is native to Molthune. Being a bastard son, he had few chances other than joining a militant cult.
-Once in the cult, he opened his eyes to what his country’s goals really were, and withdrew from the military.
-During his wandering through Nirmathas, Varisia and other countries, he met a middle aged woman, Nioku, who he thought was the personification of might and power. He decided to follow her and learn from her, and in the end they both became very close.
-Gabriel has always felt a strong link with the sun. He has always enjoyed being under its light, and has felt uncomfortable underground. After Nioku’s death, Gabriel suffered an apotheosis and transformed into a half-shaped angel, growing wings and acquiring some new powers related to his ancestry.
-Gabriel started researching, and he finally came to some conclusions. When he finally discovered some bits of truth about Hyraeatan, he was addressed by some inhabitants of the city and offered a visit and later a citizenship and membership into the Lightbringers.
-Gabriel had a hard time accepting that balance was a requirement, and that he would have to work together with the Dark Parities. That didn’t last much, though, as all of a sudden Hyandil soon order all the Lawbringers to withdraw the city. Hyandil’s powerful personality and influence got Gabriel and many others enthralled, making them follow their leader without question and actually empathise with her.
-Gabriel was a profound devout of Iomedae in her Sun aspect, and later widened his mind to revere a more general concept of the Sun adopting other Gods like Sarenrae, Amaterasu, Pelor, Lathander or Apollo. Under Hyandil’s influence and the Lawbringers Exodus, though, he experimented profound changes. He believed everything he had fought for was a lie, and that the Sun had abandoned him, so he adopted a new aspect of the Sun - its absence. Gabriel, Sol Invictus became known as Gabriel, the Black Hole.
-After the defeat of the Lawbringers, Gabriel was taken prisoner. He, together with other specimens, was the object of deep studies, with most of Hyraeatan scholars and scientists fascinated by the changes experimented. Gabriel had undergone mental, physical and emotional changes, and it was clear that these changes were not finished, once Hyandil’s influence was no longer affecting him. Believing there was a chance of recovering him, he was offered a second chance.

2-List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
-Character Goal: Gabriel wants to know what’s of his past and his future. He doesn’t know who his father was, he doesn’t know why he has experienced so much changes along his life and how many more is he going to undergo. He doesn’t know why does he feel linked to the Sun, for better or for worse, and what does all of these mean. He longs for a place to belong, and that place seems to be Hyraeatan, but through his act he’s not getting any closer to it, and that unsettles him.
-I’d like Gabriel to do something important. More than just ascending in the hierarchy, I mean starring a deed that immortalises him, so his name is remembered, be it for leading an army to an important victory, infiltrating and rescuing an important character or bringing the opportunity for an important breakthrough due to the study of his strange changing condition.

3-List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet.
-Gabriel was never much attached to his mother and her relatives, and has always thought of old Nioku as his only family. However, one night in Hyraeatan, when he was being held prisoner after Hyandil’s defeat,, he was thinking about the past with nostalgy when a vision assaulted his mind. He saw a scene which he recognised as Nioku’s funeral. The old lady’s funeral pyre was burning, but he caught a glimpse of something which could only be her soul ascending to Heaven, a figure resembling her but with powerful wings and a fiery sword in her hand, flying from his burning corpse and getting lost beyond the clouds. He never talked to anyone about that sudden insight, thinking it had only been a side effect of his own mind surrendering to fatigue and captivity.
-Gabriel doesn’t suspect that Nioku was indeed his father impersonated. The being was actually a powerful Solar, and he wanted to direct his descendant’s path to Hyraeatan, where he knew that Gabriel would play an important role in the future of the city, but had his own reasons to stay anonymous. He faked his Nioku persona’s death and sowed the seed in young Gabriel to investigate further. Whether he has anything to do with the most recent events in Gabriel’s life, it remains to be seen.

4-Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile.
-Nioku, a warrior woman near retirement who took Gabriel under tutelage when he left Molthune. Nioku died in battle, and her dying words were for Gabriel, telling him to “search for Hyraeatan”.
-Hyandil, the leader of the Lightbringers. The Blossoming Queen held much influence over Gabriel, making him follow her into exile and later into a fratricidal war. Gabriel has no idea if the Queen is still alive, much less of where she could be, but he wouldn’t mind having a word or two with her.
-Zachiel, a low ranked officer in the Eternal Dawning’s army, responsible for capturing Gabriel and, later on, sparing him. Gabriel’s feelings towards Zachiel are mixed, for he knows he owes him his life but is also aware that was not a hundred percent altruistic act. Still, there’s a spark of respect there, as Gabriel senses that Zachiel is also in the lower base of the pyramid and struggles to find his place while fulfilling orders, just like he was not so long ago.

5-Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has.
-Due to his “shiny” nature, Gabriel was useless when it came to subterfuge. Actively and directly lying was beyond his capabilities, and stealthy moves were something he thought he’d never be good at. After his exile and imprisonment, though, Gabriel feels a deep attraction for the dark, and some of these restrains have completely dissappeared or turned into just the opposite feelings.
-Gabriel remembers how he spent quite some time figuring out about Nioku’s last words, and how at the beginning he thought Hyraeatan was a person he had to talk to.
-Back in Molthune, life was hard. As a child, he drilled constantly, for it was mandatory, and was constantly subject to a brainwashing discipline. It amuses him how life has changed, but not as much for himself - he was still under constant drilling here in Hyraeatan and was also a victim of brainwash in more than one sense.
-Gabriel has never been with a girl. During his teens in Molthune he had no time between drilling and attending religious matters, and his life hasn’t improved afterwards. He felt something for Nioku for a while, but quickly realised she had been more a cool aunt than anything else. Sometimes he thinks what could it be like, though he knows that, given his situation, it’s not something that’s likely to happen.

Appearance
Gabriel doesn’t look too outlandish, but his eyes reflect the fire of his soul, specially when he’s fighting the good fight.They used to shine in fiery orange tones, but now these have turned into a deep dark blue, even black. His fiery red hair was usually tied in a ponytail, but it’s now pitch black and usually left loose. Only those who know, though, might use these features to put together what’s otherwise evident by the pair of angelic - though black - wings sprouting from Gabriel’s back. Other than that, he looks like a human in steroids - strong and agile, smart and cool, you know, almost an angel.

Personality
Same as the Sun, Gabriel was warm and cosy, but could quickly turn into a relentless destructive force. Luckily, he reserved the latter for his true enemies, those who threatened the wellbeing of his peers. Nowadays, Gabriel looks more like a cold, tempered warrior who knows he’s been into too much. Jaded and scarred, his past laughter is now only a small and ironic half smile, and what was solar wrath in battle is now the emptiness of the void taking down enemies relentlessly.

Background: Nikolsi was born a kyton slave, and was trained from birth to serve as a soldier. He stands tall and proud; he was an excellent soldier. While fighting for the kytons, he was selected by a kyton experimenter, a wizard named Andrelon. What followed next was years of torment as Andrelon experimented and tinkered with genetics, magic, and the idea of the soul, attempting to turn a judow into something closer to a judrai but without the weaknesses. Nikolsi was not the only being that Andrelon was trying to "improve"; individuals from many other races came into the wizard's tower, and frequently left just quickly - though with a distinct lack of life on their way out. Most cannot survive long; Nikolsi is not sure if his personal stubbornness or his heritage is to thank for his hardy nature, but he has survived more - and longer - than anyone else. Nikolsi is not sure what exactly happened to end things. All that he knows is that the wizard's tower seemed to stutter for several seconds, and then every door and lock opened. He didn't have time to look around too much; once the doors opened, the building started to shake in a "get as far away as possible" kind of way. As he was leaving he saw one of the more recent - and still living - captures duck out another door - he had heard a guard mutter about the elven nobility, and the woman leaving the cell had to be here. He gave her a nod as they went their seperate ways, but did not try to pursue her. Once outside, he quickly disappeared into the countryside, making his way through the barren landscape until he could find a portal to a more populous plane; the City of Seven Seraphs. To Nikolsi' great surprise, the wars he had fought in were distant memories and time had moved on; the world was much changed, and it was difficult for a lone, semi-mad soldier to fit in. Nikolsi decided that the stutter of time in the tower must have thrown it forward in time, and accepting that there was nothing in his past to recover he set about making a future where he would never have his choices stolen from him again.

Goals: Nikolsi has a singular goal; to never be taken as a slave again, and his method of achieving that is to be entirely self sufficient and not relay on anyone for anything - and to be able to force the issue if someone thinks he should bow down to them. His motivation for working with officials is purely a matter of expediency; he gets to exercise his skills without having needless time consuming interactions with bounty hunters or government operatives trying to track him down. As a player, I want Nikolsi to find a valuable partnership/relationship that would give him a reason to stay around a group.

Secrets: Nikolsi keeps the true extent of his abilities and his resources hidden. No one knows that he has access to extradimensional storage areas, or what he puts there. When he wants to be hidden, no one sees him - just the way he likes it. Nikolsi does not know that elven woman who escaped the tower at the same time as he did is trying to gather protectors and warriors in a bid to take an elven kingdom, and she has put out bounty hunters to bring her information on his whereabouts - unlike most, she actually has a general idea of what was done to him, and what he can do.

Acquaintances: Nikolsi assumes Andrelon was destroyed with his tower, as do most who knew he existed. In fact, Andrelon escaped and set himself up with a patron, another lord of Hell. Andrelon knows that Nikolsi escaped; he had a blood-tied status spell on his arm for each of his "successes", and while it does not tell him where Nikolsi is, he knows that he is still living and is determined to bring him back to the chains of his tower. Desmond is a member of the Descendants of Thunder, and though he does not always agree with Nikolsi' actions, he understands the deep motivation behind it. Desmond was one of the first beings Nikolsi ran into in the City of Seven Seraphs, and recognizing his militant bearing had offered him a job among the low level members of the Descendants of Thunder. Nikolsi no longer works exclusively with the Descendants, but they were the first willing to take him in and trust him with work. Vestele is the name of the elven noblewoman, though Nikolsi does not know it. They can hardly be said to have bond, having seen each other for only moments when fleeing Andrelon's tower; that shared experience did create a lasting impression, however, and either would recognize the other again.

Quirks: Nikolsi always moves silently, even when there is no reason to sneak or be stealthy. This habit ends up causing most of those who interact with him to comment that he needs bells around his ankles. He is also stubborn; when told he cannot do something, especially something he feasibly could, he will almost always set out to complete that goal. The rare exceptions are where it would put himself into too much danger or be needlessly stupd; he is stubborn, not suicidal. Finally, Nikolsi likes to collect things that he likes. His collection is esotaric, and includes items ranging from silverware with a particular design he favored to a golden statue made by a master jeweler of a horse running through sand. Depending on the owner, his efforts to obtain an item he likes generally follows these lines: Offer to purchase it at a reasonable price, offer to purchase it at an outrageous price, offer to do some task or chore for it, threaten to do bodily harm, and finally steal it. He's never failed to steal it, but woudn't entirely object to the idea of arranging for someone to have an "accident" and then purchase his desired item from an estate sale.

Transcendent Akashic Catalyst
Aura strong transmutation CL 20
Slot none Price - Weight-
-------------------------------------------------
Description
-------------------------------------------------
A Transcendent Akashic Catalyst is a very long strip of an unknown material about half an inch wide. When a veilweaver wraps it about themselves, they find it is long enough to wind around all of their limbs and their torso without any problems. Once it is being worn, glowing mandalas form all along it. Unlike most catalysts, it isn't not worn on a single chakra. It provides the benefits of a least, lesser, and greater akashic catalyst to three of the wearers chakras. Each chakra is assigned when essence is assigned, and can be changed when a veilweaver alters their essence commitments.

It also enhances a veilweavers ability to bind chakras, allowing them to bind chakras as if they were 4 levels higher in whatever veilweaving classes they possess. The wearer also gets the benefits of the Twin Veil feat, although they must choose one chakra to gain this benefit when they shape their veils for the day.

A Transcendent Akashic Catalyst can be work with other akashic catalysts, however no chakra may receive the benefit of more than one catalyst at a time.

Thygrox is the result of an unusual combination for a veryx. Thyranous was an inquisitive semxi, always curious about what else there was. Even so, growing up in the Warrenweave kept him safe, with plenty of opportunities to learn about almost anything he desired. For the most part, his childhood was a happy one, especially considering that he was rather outgoing, for a semxi anyway. When he reached adulthood, and decided to take him and his veilweaving talents out to find adventure, he wasn't sure exactly where to go or what to do. After all, Hyraeatan is a big place, with portals to virtually everywhere. Eventually he fell in with some members of the Chrysalis Covenant, and journeyed the planes with them. It didn't take long for him to decide to join the Covenant, the whole concept of becoming something else was an ability every semxi was born with. Thyranous hadn't found anyone he felt like bonding to yet, but he alse knew he was young. It wasn't long before he met a being that would change things for him.

Rangrox came from an unremarkable Prime world. Well, mostly unremarkable. The sheer amount of warfare on Rangox's homeworld was enough to sate even a demons bloodthirst. His world had existed in a constant state of warfare for almost 2,000 years. Getting in or out of the plane was a bit difficult, as apparently whatever divinities held sway there wanted as little interference as possible. Rangrox was a determined fellow though. By the time he had reached adulthood, he had shed more blood than he cared to think about most nights. He had heard the stories of people who left, the ones who traveled to other places that were not in a constant state of war. While he had never experienced peace, he certainly wanted it. It took him a few years, but he finally managed to find one of the mysterious portals to another place. He wasn't sure where it would lead him, but he knew staying was just going to end up with him dead. No one died of old age on his world, once you couldn't carry on the war, or aid the war in some useful way, nothing was left for you. Traveling through the portal was a difficult thing for him, but he did it anyway, walking away from everything he knew for the hope of a better tomorrow.

Fortunately for the both of them, Thyranous and his friends were the first people from the city to find Rangrox. The semxi didn't know why, but he took an instant liking to the newly arrived traveler. Rangrox wasn't sure what to make of a talking spider, but he kept up a brave face while he slowly got used to the semxi. It didn't take long for the two to become friends, although Rangrox found the Covenants desire for change a little odd. He eventually fell in with the Sanguine Sovereignty, although that didn't dimish the friendship between the two. Indeed, after a year of knowing each other, the semxi began to feel out his companions thoughts on the bond. Thyranous had a feeling that the bond would be good for him, and for Rangrox. It took a while, but after six months, they had come to an agreement on the subject. While neither lived in the Warrenweave, they both felt it approriate to become a semoxa surrounded by others who had undergone the process. While the process didn't take any extra time, nor did anything untoward happen during it, the semoxa that resulted was different from normal. The best Thygrox, as the being stated its new name to be, could figure out is that it had something to do with Rangrox's plane of origin.

Regardless, Thygrox took up life as a semoxa as normally as he could. It was a little difficult at first to get the two's Parities to come to terms with it, but eventually things got sorted out. The Sanguine Sovereinty took it mostly in stride, the Chrysalis Covenant was less happy but eventually they respected the right for semoxa to belong to two Parities. Thygrox split's his time between the two as best he can, although lately due to his more recent goals he has been investing a little extra time with the Sanguine Sovereignty.

Write five things about your character’s concept and background, five things that you think are the most essential parts of your character.
1. Thygrox' semoxa bond is a bit odd, while both Thyranous and Rangrox are somewhat aware of things, the gestalt conciousness that makes them a semoxa is a unique conciousness, resulting in the three of them having some lively (mental) discussions at times.
2. Thygrox is an explorer at heart. While he currently is making his way as a mercenary, and a bit of a brutal one at that, what excites him the most is the opportunity to explore someplace he hasn't been yet.
3. Since becoming a semoxa, Thygrox has tried to take care of unfinished business from his previous lives. However most of that is from people he calls friends, he always pays his debts.
4. Thygrox is willing to do quite a bit for a being he calls friend. While he has many aquaintances, he can count the number of people he calls friend on one hand with fingers left over. Doesn't mean he is against making them, he just needs to make sure they are worth it.
5. While warfare isn't an unknown to Thygrox, he doesn't default to killing an enemy as the first option. He has enough blood on his hands already. This doesn't make him a pacifist, or particularly nice to enemies. It just means he won't outright kill someone just for crossing his path.

List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
1. Thygrox has the goal of becoming something more. Transformation by way of the Covenant, or becoming a vampire thru the Sovereignty, or both.
2. I would really like to see Thygrox find a reason to settle down, put down roots in a part of the city, build something that he can call his instead of being the eternal wanderer.

List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet.
1. Thygrox' biggest secret is that he knows why and how the process to become a semoxa worked on him the way it did. It mostly has to do with Thyranous experimenting with various chemicals that can induce a change. He doesn't want veryx society at large to know he experimented on the bond like that, as he feels they might be more than a little upset about it.
2. What he doesn't know is that the plane Rangrox comes from doesn't allow people to escape all that easily. The powers that be usually get around to doing something to either bring their recalatrant charge back, or kill them.

Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile.
1. Jioshin is one of Thygrox's oldest friends. A xodai, they both met when they were new to the Covenant and became friendly rivals. Over time that blossomed into a friendship that still holds today. He doesn't adventure as much any more, but he does run a shop in the Pact district, catering to explorers of the planes.
2. Sioban Glineva is a more recent friend. A dhampir, they are both members of the Sovereignty. While Thyrgox isn't sure of her intentions, he does know they get along well, and she has useful information for him fairly often. She works as an information broker for the Sovereignty.
3. Soosup is a ceptu who has known Thyranous for a while. The first being to introduce him to the Covenant, he is less than happy about Thygrox's ties to the Sovereignty. While he hasn't tried to get him kicked out of the Covenant, he does what he can to make the semoxa's life difficult.

Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
1. The memory of the rush he gets from seeing something or someplace new for the first time is always with him. Finding ways to recreate it is part of what gets him out of bed in the morning.
2. While he can be charmingly social when meeting someone new, it also means he tends to act very differently to what he is thinking. Occasionally this shows through in his body language.
3. As much as he can, he dresses in bright colors with eye catching patterns, usually in shades of blue, with gold and black trim, in honor of how he looked as a semxi.
