How can you say no to the shaggy that is the St. Bernard?

Charisma: High


Now it's time to apply the Weird template, and choose a background!.

"The Weird" is a curse, born from unknown spells back in the ancient times when dragons still roamed the lands, that can affect fetuses from time to time.

The weird manifests in multiple mutations in the host's body and look. Some of those aren't noticeable or easy to see, others can completely transform the creature in a horrid mess of limbs and eyes. Mutations might also have helpful or hinder the mutant. Not many survive after being born as a weirdling, many are killed immediately, others do not survive enough. Some kingdoms creates hunts and purification pyres for them. But it's possible that, thanks to the love of their parents or thanks to the benevolence of good people, they can even manage to survive long enough to become adults. Yet, their lives will never be easy.

BACKGROUNDS:

Bookworm: You have spent most of your life hidden in a secret library or monastery, being fed and protected by kind people that weren't afraid of your look. They also gave you complete access to the tomes they possessed, and thanks to inhability of having a normal life, you spent most of your time studying. This background grants you the ability of having a good amount of knowledge about the world, albeit theorical.

Urchin: Raised by a outlaw or another type of shady figure that saw profit in your mutation, you learnt how to survive in the streets, hiding in almost plain sight. This background allows you to know how to read a person movement and to locate the best places where you can hide.

Initiate: Saved (or perhaps even bought) by a wizard, interested in studying the effect of this magical curse (or even use you as a guinea pig). During your time spent with this person, you learnt a trick or two by just looking at him/her. This background will allow you to cast a couple of spells (unfortunately, due to your subrace, you will be limited to only earth magic)

Brawler: Sold as a slave in the underground fighting pit, you have learnt what it means to hurt someone where it hurts most. THis background will allow you to know how to find a weak spot on an enemy after studying it.

http://strawpoll.me/5528348 VOTE HERE FOR YOUR BACKGROUND!

Level of mutations: The weird presents itself in 3 forms of mutation. Choosing the type of mutation will affect the look of your character, the reactions of others toward her, and will grant her powers through mutations.

-Low (Character won't look completely hideous, but can only have up to 2 mutations)
-Medium (Character's look will start to get deformed, but you can choose up to 4)
-High (Character will have a horrible, monstrous look, but you can choose up to 6 mutations)

http://strawpoll.me/5528343 VOTE HERE FOR YOUR LEVEL OF MUTATION!

Mutations will be listed later, after the level of Weird has been chosen

VOTES END IN 48 HOURS!

If you have questions or other comments, please feel free to do so!

High mutations only mutations.

Low mutations for cutest dog

we have such high charisma and intellect, seems a waste if people run in terror from us and/or won't talk to us because we're too scary

also with our low stamina we really don't want everyone in the kingdom attacking us on sight

>>670565
What, you don't want to be the dark subductress luring people in from the shadows only to poison their minds and temp their hearts with forbidden knowlage?

>>670570
We're a dog-person, we'll never be that.

>>670555
God damn it the St. Bernard one looks so adorable. We were so close!

>Collie won
>bookworm winning
>low mutations winning
Boring choices every time

Initiate + High Mutations is best combination, both for utility and because "wears unusual and extremely concealing clothing" describes like a third of even non-mutated wizards.

Personally I wanted a Medium mutation Urchin, but bookworm and low mutation were both my second choice in each polls. I think it could be neat to roll with a character who has a large breadth of knowledge about the world, but is very sheltered and lacks experience.

>>670583
Seconded.

Collie-haters gonna hate.

Well shit.

Due to a last minute vote change, Both Low and Medium are tied.

And to avoid tiebreakers, and waste another 24 hour with debates, someone suggested me a middle ground.

You are a Low-Mid Mutated Wierdling. Getting 3 mutations.

For background, Initiate (earth magic) wins with 22 votes!

VOTE ENDS IN 96 HOURS!

LIST OF MUTATIONS

Quills Your back is covered in long thin spikes, making it difficult for you to sleep on your back or even hide them. They can be removed and used as weapon or tools. and will grow back quickly.

Antenna You have two small antennas on your head, which allows you to feel the flow of magic better, but making your body more receptive to magic as well (which means, might give you stronger spells, but it will also mean that spells will have more effect on you.

Empowered healing factor Your body can enter a state of coma to accelerate the healing of wounds. It won’t be able to save you from a deadly wound, but can fix broken arms and deep cuts. While you are in the state of coma you are unable to sense anything near you. Your body also need more food to sustain yourself.

Sound imitation You are able to alter your voice to make it sound completely different. You are also able to mimic other’s people voice perfectly. Your mutations might not be visible immediately, but if anyone checks the interior of your mouth, he/she will easily notice the mutation on your tongue and throat

Claws Your fingers end in dagger-like claws, strong enough to rip flesh from the bone, but making it difficult to manipolate objects.

Extra eyes You have an extra set of eyes, that can move separatedly to your main set of eyes. If the eyes are not focusing on the same field of view, your entire field of view doubles. This might cause strains on your brain if you use it too much

Longer limbs You are born with longer limbs (arm or legs). Granting you more range with them, but making it difficult to hide them.

Horns You grow horns on your head, strong enough to deflect blows and can be used as weapon.

Bone-plated spine Your spine grows a variety of large and small bone plates that works as natural armor on your back. It also allow you to not sustain too much damage on your spine from blows or falls.

Poison glands You have poison glands growing on your neck, making you able to inject poison with your bites. It also makes you resistant to poison

Nightvision Your eyes are able to see in complete darkness. Your eyes are easy to notice if not hidden, your eyesight is slightly worse than a normal person in normal light.

Enlarged muscled arm One of your arms is larger and more muscular, making you rather asymmetric. The arm is incredibly more stronger than the rest of your body, but it makes it difficult to balance yourself.

Double Brain You don’t have to sleep to rest your brain. Instead you can switch to your secondary brain and do things. You do not keep the memories whenever you switch brain. You only remember who you are, but not what you were doing or where you are. Your body still need to rest, when necessary. The back of your head is slightly bigger than normal, giving it a bulbous look.

Multiple arms You have a pair of smaller arms, weaker than your normal arms. They allow you to manipulate multiple things at once.

Arm/tentacle One of your arm is replaced by a long tentacle, making it more difficult to manipulate minute things, but granting you a longer reach and a really strong grip on things.

Clarovoyance You have a third eye on your head, that is always closed but opens from time to time, granting you a vision from the future. You have no control on when it activates.

Extra digits Your hands have more than the usual amount of fingers. Your sense of touch and your ability to manipulate objects. They are really, really difficult to hide.

Multiple joint Your limbs have multiple joints, allowing you to twist and turn them into weird combinations and poses.

Split jaw Your jaw is able to open up to a 120 degrees.

Tongue-whip You have a tongue similar to a ranida. Strong and able to stretch to double your height. Having such tongue makes it so you talk in a funny way (unless you are talking to ranidae, they will think to have finally met someone that can speak correctly).

Mindblast You possess a small deformity in your skull, usually resulting in a weird single horn on your forehead. You can focus your mind on the tip of the horn and release a strong blast of energy in a short cone. Doing this leaves you exhausted for a while. The tip of the horn is also really sensitive.

Large ears Your ears are larger and more sensitive than normal. You are able to pick up any sound, loud sounds will hurt you

Multiple mouths You possess multiple mouths, usually located on your stomach or on your shoulders and hands. You can speak through these mouths and use them to bite others. If you talk without thinking too much, all the mouths will speak together, giving a weird noticeable echo to your talk.

Leg it! Your legs become more animal-like, but enhables you to jump or sprint quite well

WILD MUTATION! One of your mutation is empowered. (the mutation will be decided later if this wins)


If you want more informations or clarification about specific mutations/combos, ask away.

Antenna's would be nice for boosting our magic skill

and sound manipulation could be really fun with our high charisma

I'm thinking:

Tongue-whip
Antenna
Extra Eyes

Little bit of noncombat utility, and some lewd utility. Might be handy for an initiate.

Multiple arms means you can hold more crossbows...

alos Clarovoyance is a really lame power, why vote for a power we have no control over?
(other than because it was in rubyquest)

Votan Antenna, Split Jaw and Sound Mimicry.

...If we got multiple arms, multiple mouths and double brain, could we use them together to be effectively two mages at once?

>Enlarged muscled arm
This is why you switch off which hand you use, people!

WILD MUTATION FOR MORE POWEEEERRR!!!
Aside from that...I like armored spine one and antenna

>>671390
No. The two brains aren't active together. You always have one of the two brain active, which allows you to know who you are and what you can do, but has no memory of what you have done since the last time you activated it. Similar to having two personalities or short memory loss.

>>671396
Awww, ok. In that case I vote for:
- Leg It: Can be hidden under mage robes, and being able to move fast is useful both for mages and for people who might have to flee mobs.
- Bone-plated spine: Good against sneak attacks and for compensating for the occasional mistake resulting from enhanced jumping ability.
- WILD MUTATION: SUPER JUMPING or ARMORED EXOSKELETON yes please.
(We should avoid the tongue one since that one might interfere with casting.)

Oh man, that is a lot of choices.
So we have high charisma, int, and reflexes; and low stamina. Hmm.

Wild mutation because gambling
Empowered healing because the drawback doesn't seem too bad for a really useful ability
Voice Mimicry because we are going charisma/not physical based.

Man, quills would have been cool for a bookworm. We could have wrote with them!

Oh well. Quills / clairvoyance / mind blast. Pokey with mind powers.

Extra Eyes, Multiple Arms, Extra Digits.
Multi-book learning!

>>671404
agree

Large Ears
Sound Imitation
Multiple Mouths

We can't use water magic, so why not replace it with some sound tricks?

Triple Wild Mutation.
Someday we're gonna find a weird potion, gain a base mutation and just go completely bonkers.

If we get antennae and extra eyes, do they combine to form eye stalks?

>>671568
plsno

TGchan: indecisive fucks.

me included
>>671477

Mind blast. Wild mutation. Kill demons with mind bullets. (Maybe reduced exhaustion?)

Don't vote for antenna, if they end up wild mutated it'll be so stupid. They aren't even that useful in the first place, and they're fairly conspicuous.

>>671582
It's called Weirdling Saga, not Feminine Ideal Of Beauty Saga.

>>671582
Gnuk already told me that if we enhance antennas they'll become super fluffy mothe antennas

>most adorable mutation, no one will find us scary!

also having doubly boosted magic will be fun, heck if we can find a healer their magic will be super boosted against us as well!

>>671590
I'd prefer if it didn't get renamed to Getting Murdered For Being A Freak Saga.

>>671380

Voted for Long Legs, Long Arms, and Leg It! Become noodle-dooooOOOoooog

With Sound Imitation, we already can be that, just without annoying interjecting.

TIME IS UP!

MUTATIONS CHOSEN:

Antenna You have two small antennas on your head, which allows you to feel the flow of magic better, but making your body more receptive to magic as well (which means, might give you stronger spells, but it will also mean that spells will have more effect on you.

Sound imitation You are able to alter your voice to make it sound completely different. You are also able to mimic other’s people voice perfectly. Your mutations might not be visible immediately, but if anyone checks the interior of your mouth, he/she will easily notice the mutation on your tongue and throat

WILD MUTATION! One of your mutation is empowered.

Now to choose which of the two other mutation to empower:

Here are the possibilities:

Antenna (Empowered receiver): Your ability to feel the flow of magic and your receptivness is greatly amplified. Making your spell even stronger but draining, and making other people's spell even more effective.

Antenna (Radar)[: You become able to create a pulse that lets you scan areas around you, making you aware of any magical source near you.

Sound imitation (ventriloquism): You are able to project your voice in other spots in space. You are also able to speak without moving your mouth.

Sound imitation (sound effects): You are able to create sounds that can vary from shattering glass to crumbling rocks to animals perfectly. You need to be able to move your mouth to do so.

Which one of those antenna upgrade is the fluffy antenna?

>>672634

Antenna (Empowered receiver):Fluffy moth antennas

Antenna (Radar): Longer moth antennas

Sound imitation (ventriloquism): Weird internal mouth comformation.

Sound imitation (sound effects): Small holes near the necks

Its so hard to choose but if I must Id go with Radar only if we're going to be dealing with a lot of magic artifacts/traps/users but ventriloquism seems most useful in all other situations so that's my choice.

Strenght: Medium
Reflexes: high
Stamina: Low
Intelligence: High
Senses: Medium
Charisma: High

BACKGROUND: initiate (Earth)
As an initiate you are able to cast 4 spells

- Seal of protection You are able draw a magical rune on yourself that will protect you against a specific type of energy or a single attack made against you. You can only have a single Seal at a time (thanks to the mutation, your Seal can take up to two phyisical attacks made against you). It takes 2 minutes to draw the rune and enchant it.

- Trap You are able to draw a small magic circle on any surface made of stone, soil, mud, earth. Whenever you want to activate it, the circle will burst in a small explosion. It takes 5 seconds to draw and enchant the circle. the activation is vocal and can only be activated when the voice is within 20 meters.

- Burden You are able to curse a single target by pointing at it. The target will feel overcumbered and tired, as if it was wearing tons of materials on itself.

- Skipping stone You are able to hurl a small rock within 3 meters of you with the speed and strenght of a crossbow bolt. (thanks to your mutation you can either pick multiple rocks or empower the strenght and speed of the spell)

Cori

Masha Tearstealer

Amberly

Masha Earthcaller

Masha termasta

>>672895

I like this one.

Also out of curiosity, what does the mutation actually look like on the tongue and inside the throat?

Masha Radio~

Marie Lovelace

Fluffy bumblesnoots.
Or, Marie Earthcaller.

Trisha McDougin

Lulamoon!

>>672890
Earthcaller is a nice name.

>Marie Earthcaller.
Earthcaller sounds like it would be a nickname... Question would be:
1. Was her master just into names like that?
2. Was she given the nickname to honor her abilities? Or
3. Was she given the nickname to make fun of her earlier on in her studies?
Either way, I like the name.

I will also vote Masha Earthcaller

Earthcaller as our mage name (like a stage name but for mages).
Masha Termasta as our birth name

As a side note, those antennas look small enough to fit inside a wizard hat. Is that something we can do?

Charla Barkley
