>Name: Ferra

>Position in the City: Royal Treasurer

>Fluff:

Born to a blacksmith of no particular prominence, he seemed like he would grow up to be a normal blacksmith himself and live on to take his father's trade as anybody else in the city would, people got suspicious when he was able to correctly point out magic users without having seen them before. Once he claimed that he could see the magic shimmering around them, the suspicious were confirmed, he was a magic user himself, though of what kind nobody knew.

After days of experimenting, by sheer accident he found he was able to infuse his father's in-progress sword with the fire of a maiden's flame, which quickly cemented his art something useful instead of being near pointless. Since then he's quickly risen to a position as the Royal Treasurer due to his smithing skill which he had honed and his related magic.

>Inventory: Smithing Tools, Flaming Sword (First success), 100 Copper Coins, Tunic.

>Property: High End Domus [Forge], 10 Slaves (Housekeepers), 10 iron bars.

>Spells:

Infuse Power - You may infuse an object with the power of another blessed. This will cost the other blessed the same as casting their spell normally, and will be much narrower than what they can normally do but anyone can use the resulting magic item, or the magic will always be on. Most objects can only receive a single magic type, but if you yourself make the item you can work the object with your own power to allow two different magics to work in conjunction.

>Bonus:

Eye for power - You have been able to see the magic around others even before you awakened to your own power, and as such you are used to reading these auras you see. When interacting with another magic user you can attempt to see what kind of magic they may have, and even aid them in creating new spells as you read their aura in their attempts.

1&2: Train Blacksmithing

3: Search and catalog potential magic users who are willing to have me infuse items with their power.

Name: Tiberius Bretonius Regulus

Position in the City: Captain of the Guard

Fluff: Tiberius Bretonius Regulus was born in a small town to a family of hard-working smiths who taught him three things: how to smith, how to fight and to always follow the straight and narrow. From a young age he was conscripted to fight in one of the many wars during Roma Subterra's hectic founding, and while on such campaigns he learned the hard way of the horrors of the world. Tiberius then resolved himself to rooting out and destroying the evils of the world and putting criminals to justice, and after his years of military service were through he returned to his roots in Roma Subterra and rose through the ranks of the Cohortes Urbanae or City Guard, upholding the law and ensuring that evildoers were caught and punished. Soon he distinguished himself by the capture of several high-profile criminals and rose to the position of Captain of the Guard. Now, in this great city, as long as Tiberius and the Cohortes Urbanae roams the streets, the LAW will be FOLLOWED and criminals will pay the PRICE!

+Bonus: Scum senses - you have good luck, or a 6th sense, for when something in a theory is wrong. This has aided you in your blacksmithing training and your rise to being captain of the guard. When investigating or smithing you may reroll a dice and take the better, and this bonus recharges after finishing a case or a blacksmithing project.

1-2. A guardsman's work is never done. I'll take another member of the Cohortes Urbanae and hit the streets, looking for any signs of trouble or any news of wrongdoing. Just the presence of the Cohortes Urbanae alone should be enough to dissuade most criminal activity from occurring, and if trouble does arise we'll be on the scene to fight it.

2. In my downtime I'll practice my swordplay, being prepared for anything is what keeps guardsmen alive to patrol another day, after all.

>Position in the City:

>Fluff:

Antoninus and his Custodes are known throughout the city for their bravery. They spend weeks on end out of home in order to ensure the security of the tunnels upon which Roma thrives. Their duties include keeping the tunnels safe from any potentially dangerous beast and unsavory men, maintaining tunnel structures steady, and finding new points upon which other tunnels can be dug out safely.

+Property: Custodes Cavernae Barracks

+Cohorts: 10 Veterans. They have been with you from almost the start, and work well with you. Feel free to name them and give them specific specialties.

+Bonus: Tunnel Fighter - You are used to fighting and exploring the tunnels and caves that link the towns and cities around the storm lands. You may reroll combat dice, either yours or the enemies, and either you or they take the second result as you make use of the natural terrain and your knowledge to turn a defeat into a victory.

1. Seek out new contracts within the city to deal with tunnel issues.

2. Post out a recruitment notice for the Custodes Cavernae.

3. Antoninus realizes that soon more and more lives will be at stake during battle. He studies and trains his command.

Antoninus also reaches out to Tiberius Bretonius Regulus >>50281 to have a joint training between the Guard and the Custodes soon.

Name: Livius

Position in the City: Artist

Fluff: Art brings into the world what is of the mind.

For Livius, this takes on a secondary meaning.

The gods, whether in genuine blessing or in malicious prank, have given Livius the power to grant life to his creations. His sculptures, his paintings, even at times his writings come to life. Not easily mind you, for there is great cost and effort involved. The higher quality the sculpture, the more well written the character, or the more precise the painting the better the result. Cursed by that which was marred and deformed for it is an ill becoming lot. Life does not come from nothing either. To turn stone into flesh, one must have a source of flesh nearby, such as a cow or a horse.

His talent is new to him, still being mastered along with his skills. To him is given a great quest to bring some of the cities greatest myths to life. The finest warriors, the most viscous monsters, and of course, the prettiest women.

+Skills:

+10 Painting

+5 Knowledge; Myths

+Renown: 10

+Inventory: Sculpting Tools, 100 Copper coins, Tunic.

+Property: Domus, 3 Stone blocks

+Spells: Mark of Life - You may finish a sculpture with a magic mark that consumes meat, bone, and the statue to bring the statue to life. The statue will take it's personality and mentality from it's creation, and may die on creation if the statue is bad. The mark will be visible as discoloration of the skin of an unnatural color. You can give the creature orders similar to a tamed and trained animal, or willing person.

+Bonus: Pygmalion - You are blessed by the gods to be able to bring statues to life. With this power many are willing to become your patron. You will, sometimes, also fall into a streak of creative fervor, forgoing sleep and eating for working time. You may double successes on sculpting for a turn for half successes on everything the next turn.

1. What better way to practice than by doing something simple. Sculpt a humble servant, crude but effective, to do my bidding.

2. Practice my painting as well. See how well I can, for example, paint a loaf of bread.

3. Look around for job opportunities.

>>50204

1. You begin to work on focusing your magic, sitting and meditating while focusing on a flame. It is hard with all the goings on as many are wishing to meet you and get your blessing. It seems that there are rumors of people disappearing and many wish for the flame of Prometheus to protect them from the dark. +1.2 Focus (Magic)

2&3. You begin to sing and play the Lyre to help ease the minds of everyone, and practice a bit. While it does not put many of the worried people to ease it does show that you want to help. Sadly you only have rumors and not actual facts. +8.5 Singing, +1 Renown.

>>50274

1&2. Your training is going quite well, talking with some of the blacksmiths who usually aid you with your work as a blessed. +7.0 Blacksmithing.

3. You look over the list of magic users with your own notes on how willing they are to work with you on enchanting objects. The maiden of light Zena has been working with you regularly and needs little prompt, it helps that she is 12. With her many of the richer areas and public works have the Everlast Torchers to light the area. The maiden of fire you have rarely worked with. You have never worked with Livius the life sculptor and arn't sure if your magic and his are compatible. Then there is Venicius the earth shaper who is getting on in the years but is still willing to trade a favor for a favor.

You are working on making another rod to funnel light magic into when you meet Zena again. Everything is going well until one of your friends enters your domus and gives you some bad news. "Your father is missing."

+Health: Broken Hand.

>>50281

3. You practice your swordplay with the other guardsmen. You have the other guards use normal weapons, daggers, and improvised weapons. They still get the odd hit on you every now and again but you are getting better. +6.2

1&2. The day starts like any other day, patrolling the streets for any sort of criminal activity. You head into the poorer areas, where crime is more rampant. Rumor has it that people have been disappearing in this area. You can see it is true in their eyes, the people are afraid. An unusual fear, the fear of the unknown. Some of your guards talk to them, and they say that they are being taken to the underworld, that the god below is angry. You hear a scream nearby and move your troops as fast as they can run. The scream came from a rarely used side street. You see blood, but no body. A crack to the underworld is nearby, and drops of blood can be seen leading up to it, but no drag marks.

>>50349

1. You seek out some contracts and find a few possibilities. A few merchants that want some body guards. There are also rumors of attacks by animals in the upper tunnels being more frequent as well as some rumors of some traders not returning. You can probably capitalize on either of those by talking to the guard or the merchants families.

2. You set some people to spread that you are recruiting and get a good group of people looking to join you for regular pay in food. You think about 100 can be useful if trained.

3. You practice giving commands in battle with your old companions. They take great delight in trying to shake your concentration with insults, punches, and thrown objects. +8.0 Command.

>>50356

1. You begin sculpting the form of a man. It will take a bit longer but you have the base down, and just need to make the details. All in all good practice, but it is the fine details that make your sculptures come to life. +6.5 Sculpting.

2. You take your paints and start working on painting some food. Not your best, you are better at painting sculptures after all. +2.3 Painting.

3. The military is always looking to have some beasts for protection and war, and the enchanter Ferra has been working with other blessed and may have an opportunity. Otherwise most do not seem to desire to get a new statue or creature made currently, or at least you have not heard of any.

3. You head to Venicius's home. An old, frail looking man with a long beard. Odd for the city but the man, the oldest living blessed in the city, has long ignored his appearance and focused on his craft. Seeing your hand he says he will do it when you heal, but you will help him create a new spell. You know he has long been annoyed that he may only shape the stone, and it seems he wishes for more.

A girl of only 12, with odd blond hair that is rare in the city, and in the dress of a maiden herself. Zena, someone you helped raise as she is an orphan and a blessed that can create light. She rushes to you and holds you tight, shaking and crying. "Big sis, please help." (Talking is free)

Zena wanted to come here, said you could stop them."

1. You keep working on it, however you find that making individual fruits and vegetables will never be profitable as you can not work fast enough. You do believe that if you make the seed of a fruit, or a rare fruit with seeds, you could sell them to be cultivated to a wealthy land owner.

2. You try the apple and find that, while delicious, you don't know what an apple tastes like. What you created is sweet with a sour aftertaste with the skin also being sweet, although with a different taste to the flesh.

3. You easily find one of your neighbors who has some experience as a medicae and get your hand bandaged. +Bandaged hand -Bitten hand.

Name: Igna

Position in the City: Maiden Magic User

Fluff: Gift of Prometheus reborn. Beautiful wielder of fire. When the father of Man brought his gift of fire he did so carrying it within a brand of iron. So it is that Igna must have iron to call forth fire. These hands only know magic, music and iron. No weapon has advanced past her veil of fire. The importance of fire in the development of mankind, the importance of magic, and the importance people place on beauty have allowed for her to benefit from veneration of the people and allowances in society not often granted to women.

>>50903

1-3. You make your way to the temple of the sun and rapidly move to where the incident took place. Guided by the normal priests you find that the door to the room was barricaded to the best of the priests' abilities but there were no attempts to breach it from the other side. Entering the room you find only a single corpse, and not one of a guard. The man's body is covered in stab wounds, but there does not seem to be any blood from his body, certainly some splashed around the room though. The blood leads to a hole leading to the caves below the city. One of your guards examines the body and pulls out a broken stone totem in the place of a heart. He says it cracked along a fault and broke, might have been stabbed by the guards.

>>51001

1. You work the stone and use a bit of left over plant matter to create a seed. The fruit that should come of it will be similar to the one you created before. The plant will be a vine that grows quickly and wraps around anything near it.

2. You still don't know what the hell a chicken is so stop trying to meta you bastard. Either way you start working off the base of a goose, but not as temperamental. The creature will be large, about the size of a deer, and the egg is the size of your head. You have it so that the creature can create eggs that are not able to give life and can't fly so it doesn't run away. You also make sure it can eat grain.

3. Your senses telling you that the egg and seed should be as it should you find a farmer from a nearby lowland village selling his goods in the city. After some convincing that the giant goose will probably not kill him he is willing to take your blessed creations but asks that you create a few more just in case of failure, and for breeding the big bird. He also requests that he get most of the profit since he is the one farming and raising them.

Take the broken totem. It is probably a magical or spiritual medium animating this strange body.

1/2/3 A malevolent blessed one, a Curse, is likely the source of this and as a friend, a spiritual guide, and civil servant of my people I cannot allow them to continue bleeding this city. With my guards in tow I will descend and burn away the evil that is trying to drag this city to hell. It was lucky the guards were able to break the stone heart of one and reveal the truth. Now I will destroy his army by burning out these cold hearts of stone with only a fraction of the effort it would have taken me otherwise. Just in case I will send word to the city council to send reinforcements.

Name: Livius

Position in the City: Artist

Fluff: Art brings into the world what is of the mind.

For Livius, this takes on a secondary meaning.

The gods, whether in genuine blessing or in malicious prank, have given Livius the power to grant life to his creations. His sculptures, his paintings, even at times his writings come to life. Not easily mind you, for there is great cost and effort involved. The higher quality the sculpture, the more well written the character, or the more precise the painting the better the result. Cursed by that which was marred and deformed for it is an ill becoming lot. Life does not come from nothing either. To turn stone into flesh, one must have a source of flesh nearby, such as a cow or a horse.

His talent is new to him, still being mastered along with his skills. To him is given a great quest to bring some of the cities greatest myths to life. The finest warriors, the most viscous monsters, and of course, the prettiest women.

+Skills:

+21 Painting

+13.1 Knowledge; Myths

+Renown: 10

+Inventory: Sculpting Tools, 100 Copper coins, Tunic.

+1 Servant Sculpture

+Property: Domus, 2 Stone blocks

+Spells: Mark of Life - You may finish a sculpture with a magic mark that consumes meat, bone, and the statue to bring the statue to life. The statue will take it's personality and mentality from it's creation, and may die on creation if the statue is bad. The mark will be visible as discoloration of the skin of an unnatural color. You can give the creature orders similar to a tamed and trained animal, or willing person.

+Bonus: Pygmalion - You are blessed by the gods to be able to bring statues to life. With this power many are willing to become your patron. You will, sometimes, also fall into a streak of creative fervor, forgoing sleep and eating for working time. You may double successes on sculpting for a turn for half successes on everything the next turn.

1. Grow the fruit seed. See what it becomes!

2. Agree to the Farmers deal, on the caveat I can get as much free Goose Meat and Eggs as I want. If this works out, I'll never go hungry again!

3. I don't have enough material for a 'Great Earth Serpent'. But maybe I can make a 'Tiny Earth Serpent'. The size of a normal serpent. One that could bore into the mountain and. . .uh. Hmm, well the people who 'mine' say there are interesting things in there like Cassiterite. So maybe it can find newer and more interesting things in the earth

>>51026

1-4. You send the message, and either your messenger was a blessed one or the captain of the guard was already on his way here personally. After informing him of the creature and their stone hearts he decides to follow you down into the dark, century in tow. You arn't really given the option to refuse. You descend down, flame held high to give light. You find some scrapes and blood, good markers of where the bodies have gone. The further you go the more signs you see of the dead having been dragged down here. The supposed numbers continue to grow and many stains are old, at least a few months according to the captain. Finally you enter a larger cave and find 20 creatures. Moving corpses with signs of their death, eyes glazed over yet they have no trouble seeing, and some with arms or legs broken, yet the move on caring little about the damage to their bodies. When they see you the screech an inhuman screech and charge. Your men take position but the normal guards are afraid and unprepared. (Fight!) -4% on Iron Rod.

>>51033

2. He gives a counter offer and doesn't seem to give in that you will have as much goose meat and eggs within reason, and even throws in the fruit for free. You will have to make a male goose creature and another seed or four first.

1. You give the farmer the seed and the egg, asking him to plant the seed. You don't know how long it will take but you believe it will be a little while. (4 turns, keep track)

3. You start working on the design of the earth serpent. It will take a while as you can not add more magic to it without trying to learn another spell. You start your work with design. You finally decide to go with a design that has crushing teeth and an internal pouch for the crushed up rocks. It will have to come out and eject the pouch every now and again. Not much like the myth but it is the best you can do right now.

1-3. Your flame pours forward, but the dead do not stop initially. Even lit a flame the creatures continue to pour forward, singular in their goal of killing you and your guards. Thankfully many begin to drop dead, some once you hit them in the chest, but many die after a bit of time of being on fire. Unfortunately some of those on fire make it to the soldiers and a few are taken down, but the enemy was nearly destroyed by the fire and the rest are cleaned up by the soldiers. A few soldiers lie dead, unlucky in having the burning corpses bite their throats, others have burns and cuts. (98 allies left, 10 wounded)

The chamber lies filled with the burned corpses of the enemy, and a few of your own. On the other side is the entrance into the deeper caves.

>>51050

1&2. You make the egg and the seeds, giving them to the farmer again. It will take another [5 turns] for it to show results but you turn your mind to other tasks.

3. You finish the sculpture of the snake, giving it a fierce pose as it crushes rock with it's mouth. It's body twines around a pillar of rock as it constricts it. It's head is armored and made for digging. All that is left is minor details, details you know will shape it's personality and then it can be brought to life.
