could you give more detail to his abilities?

Better?

[Ploegy]

yes, thank you. accepted

funnily enough i was working on a possible character who wears a mask to cover their eyes as well lol

[Ploegy]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

name; nieven
age; 120
gender; male
sexuality; pansexual
crush; open
race; elf
role; yafria party member

hair; silvery white
eyes; pale blue-gray
height; 5'2
weight; 105 lbs

weapons; nieven struggles to use weapons thanks to being forced to wear a mask over his eyes, but he
still carries a bow and dagger with him. despite having limited sight, he relies heavily on his sense
of hearing to use his bow properly and has decent aim despite his circumstances. while not the
most skilled bowsmen, he still can hit crucial shots when needed. as for his dagger, he uses it for
close range combat in order to protect himself, though he is quite adept in hand-to-hand combat
and doesn't really need a dagger.
abilities; cursed sight - an unwanted magical ability that nieven was cursed with as a child. this curse
is very potent and forces him to keep his eyes covered to avoid activating it on accident. it allows
him to momentarily freeze his target before forcing them to either face illusionary versions of
their own fears or darkest memories. as a side effect, he too is forced to see said illusion occur.
in order to trigger his curse, he first must make direct eye contact with his target and maintain
his vision on them to keep them under it. the longer he holds his curse, the more strain it puts
on him both physically and emotionally, thus he hardly uses it for extended periods of time to
avoid harming himself. his effects do last a minute after he does break his sight from his target
and he is limited to only having two under his curse at a time. on monsters, the effects are
slightly different. instead of forcing out bad memories or fears, he is able to take control over
them and use them to fight for him. this is possible given his curses connection to the guardians
themselves. the same conditions still stand when it comes to monsters as it does others- he must
keep his sight on them after casting said curse and he can only control two at one given time.
this curse also has the effect of making him unable to learn any form of magic.
enhanced hearing - due to his elven heritage, his hearing is above average, although not
on superhuman levels. he can hear more than the average human can and hear thing from further
distances. his hearing does continue to improve the less and less he uses his sight though.
hand-to-hand combat - despite seeming like the type that would struggle in combat overall,
nieven is highly athletic and excels in hand-to-hand combat, even with the disadvantage of his
mask. his close quarter combat is on a whole other level and shows he put much time into it. this
is thanks to his sister training him and allowing him to train against her. if things do get too rough
he does opt to take his mask off to fight, despite the risk of his curse triggering.

personality; nieven is a strange individual who often is aloof from the world around him. he's softspoken
and tends to keep to himself. his introverted tendencies stem from the effects his curse has had upon him.
emotionally, he struggles to convey himself, but his resolve is strong. it is difficult for him to keep his
feelings in check, yet he doesn't want others to see him in pain. those that know the true nature of his
curse understand the psychological pain that is cast upon him, but even when they try to help him, he will
push them away. he acts as if he doesn't need to talk to others about his feelings and keeps them bottled
up. he is able to keep his feelings bottled up for only so long before he just let's them all out and is a huge
wreck. usually he becomes a sobbing mess, but there are times where his anger becomes the strongest
emotion and he will take it out on the closest person. he hates that he is like this, yet he cannot change it
unless he refuses to use his curse. as much as he would love to do that, he also has his own aspirations. he
wants to free himself from it. he desires to stop the guardians to save himself even if it he must take on the
pain of others. nieven has a surprisingly noble heart though his ideals don't always come across that way.
when he does decide to interact with others, he can be rather harsh. he has a hard time allowing people to
get close to him and is afraid that he'll simply end up hurting them. he tends to try and scare people off in
order to "defend" himself, but it doesn't always work. underneath the cold facade he puts forth, he is a
lonely boy whom actually likes the companionship of others. he hates to admit it though. to those that do
manage to break through this fake front, he offers a softness that seems unfitting for him to give. he may
not be the most social towards them still, but he will still do most things with them and sometimes he will
open up to them about the struggles he is going through. he sees his allies and formerly his sister as his
emotional anchors. under his emotional mess, he is a rather intelligent young man.

other; -was cursed by a follower of the tothana guardian when he was a child. this curse caused him
and his twin sister to be seen as threats to their village and they were outcasted
-his curse is tied directly to the guardians and is supposed to be lifted once the tothana guardian is taken down
-his sister, axilya, had cursed speech and died in the first fight against the gesnain guardian
-his elf ears are usually hidden under the sides of his mask
-took shelter in yafria until the guardian attacks began

I'd be cool with him being in my party, they could relate about the masks they wear, and if you're ok with it, my character could make a special blindfold so that he can still see without activating his cursed sight. If you're ok with that I mean

[Ploegy]

i'm fine with including him in the yafria party. sadly he probably wouldn't take a new mask given if he's able to easily see and make eye contact, he can activate his curse

Name: ||Ian ||Gender: male|| Age:|| 19 Sexuality: ||pansexual
Crush: none atm||Role:gesnain party member ||
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A demi-human that was born and raised in the region of gesnain. Ian had lived some of his life
with his mother and father as the only child. Both his parents were talented mages, but has for
his self, he didn't show any sign of any magical abilities. Ian deiced to attend a magic academy
famous for training the world's powerful mages,wizards, and witches. perhaps attending would
help draw out his magical abilities, which it did

The house he was placed in was the Owl house, which had mages with potential. Although the
headmaster and council members saw Ian's potential, those born was great magical abilities begin
to grow slightly jealous and schemed against him. Thanks to unfortunate events, Ian was banned
from the academy. Once he reached home, his parents heard what happened and disowned him,
thus he would leave to try to clear his name

during his adventure, he would meet a former member of the academy's council, a powerful wizard
and a rag-tag group of mages with strange outfits. Ian joined their ranks and is now tasked to follow
one of the heroes until further notice.

Ian is a snarky guy with a cunning personality. His biggest joy in life if deceiving others, just how
people had once did to him. It doesn't take alot for him to get annoyed and for the sake of his
mission, he has to hide his feelings. Ian, by his allies, is known to be a great lair and mischievous.
Most definitely a guy you can't trust.. of course, no one knows he can't be trusted thanks to his good
guy act
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Abilities: -Thanks to his family, Ian developed the ability to use magic. His best magic allows
him to change his appearance and trace magic. However, his magic tracing ability only works once.
Ian had chosen to trace the magic of a mage that could use a mythical type of fire magic.

-He's been trained to do hand-to-hand combat. Doesn't really like to rely on his magic to much.
Ian has also been trained in sealth

-Thanks to his speices of demi-human, Ian is able to blend into most of his surroundings and just
like most demi-humans, his hearing, smell, and sight is greater than that of a normal human

accepted!

so i'm thinking we could possibly begin though we don't have all the heroes and some parties don't have members, but we can definitely find a way to make it work. also i was thinking of this being a couple days after the heroes have been summoned so some of them could be together while others have already gone off.

[InfectedHau]

I'd be up for that!

[Feral Fangs]

Yeah, I'm good with that
