Rhodes Island
Your character works as an Operator at a specialized organization — Rhodes Island. R.I. operates as a pharmaceutical and paramilitary company that provides both care and treatment to those infected by Oripathy, and battles a rival force known as Reunion.
Characters are able to join Rhodes Island directly, regardless of background and battle experience, or can transfer from another Faction [see Advanced World for a list].
Reunion
Reunion is an antagonistic paramilitary social movement of people infected by Oripathy. They wreck havoc upon the land of Terra; burning villages, waging armed insurgencies, and causing destruction wherever they go.
Created characters cannot be from Reunion.
Terra
Oripathy
Originium Arts
A land identical to earth. Due to frequent and devastating natural disasters otherwise known as Catastrophes, much of the population has been forced to adopt a nomadic lifestyle through mobile cities.
Mobile cities are cities built on giant vehicles.
This progressive, terminal infection is caused by direct or prolonged exposure to Originium, a black, semi-transparent crystalline mineral. The mortality rate for this disease is 100%. The threat of contagion remains upon the carrier’s death. Combined with the threat of dangerous, unknown powers, most countries have chosen to expel the Infected. Left stateless, the Infected had no clear path to life. But recently, the Infected have begun to gather around the radical resistance movement known as "Reunion."
Created characters can be non-infected, or have 0% to 15% Cell-Originium Fusion Rate (Oripathy).
The ability to manipulate and transform matter and energy using the power provided by Originium. It is the primary “magic system” in the world.
Arts abilities comes in various forms, such as elemental manipulation (i.e. controlling lava or ice), healing, stealth (i.e. creating fog), and affecting physics.
Created characters can start with or without Arts at a simple level. Characters without Oripathy require a catalyst for Originium Arts (i.e. staff, wand). Characters with Oripathy do not require a catalyst. The abilities become progressively stronger and more complex with levelling.
