The Fallen

The Fallen are an ancient race whose origin predates that of Panthose itself. In fact the first of The Fallen preceded the gods for they find their origin with Order.

In the beginning Order and Chaos wrestled over the universe. Order wanted to develop the worlds, to improve them. Order had great plans, which he set in motion, but Chaos stood in his way. Everything Order made Chaos changed. Everything Order developed Chaos destroyed. Every dream Order had Chaos thwarted. Existence was a game to Chaos and a challenge for Order. Their conflict was inevitable.

The two great beings wrestled for ages ripping aspects and influences from each other. The two combatants locked in a seemingly eternal struggle till one day the entity known simply as Chaos delivered the killing blow. Order died and the gods burst forth. As they burst they salvaged what they could from Order and stole what they dared from Chaos. It was during one such theft that the Fallen came to be. Just before the final blow when Fate knew what would happen he reached out from orders back through his flowing mane of hair and pulled the burden of death from the mass known as Chaos. Chaos knowing the importance of this aspect clawed at the back of Order grasping desperately but Fate had moved on. Death was with Fate now and Fate burst out and fled. Chaos’s grasped nothing but the dying Order’s silver hair. With a great fury Chaos ripped the hair from Orders head and threw it down. Those hairs fell, ripped from Order, touched by death they fell to life on their own. They were creatures of Order from Order with no guidance.

For ages they fell; their silver hair flowing in the wind, and their sunken eyes searching earnestly for a place to land. There was no place to land, no one to help them, till Fate returned. The god who dared to steal death looked the part. His flesh had rotted away and only bone remained, yet he somehow his sorrow was evident, even without words. He motioned to the fallen and spoke of a Panthose. He told the delicate creatures from Order he had placed his children their and that he would do the same for them. And so The Fallen fell and made their home on Panthose, mingled amongst the children of Fate they joined the ranks of mortality.

Body: 6
Starting Build: 15

Racial Advantages:

Orderly Mind: 10 energy. The Fallen with this skill is capable of withstanding incredible amounts of mental strain. Character with this skill may negate any one mental effect used on or against them, and be immune to the same effect for ten minutes. This can be used against multiple effects separately. Character calls Orderly Mind and spends ten points of energy as a response to being targeted by any mental effect.

Purchasable Racials:

Drain Life: 3 Build 1 energy. The Fallen are infused with death and, with practice, have learned to control the flow of death’s energy. With a touch a Fallen can transfer the death inside them onto others in exchange for their life. A Fallen may touch a target for 10 uninterrupted seconds and call Drain Life 1 body, dealing 1 body damage to the touched target and gaining 1 body themselves. This heals them 1 body as if they actually received 2 points of healing.

Speak with the Dead: 6 Build 4 energy. The Fallen are a people who survived their first brush with death because of this they share a certain bond with those who have moved on beyond this mortal plane. A Fallen with this skill may touch a target that is recently deceased (within an hour of their death), call Speak with the Dead then spend the appropriate amount of energy to ask the target one question. Target must answer question truthfully and to the best of their knowledge. Note this skill does not grant target extra knowledge of any kind. Target’s knowledge stops at the moment of their death. This is a mental effect.

Refute Death: 8 build. The Fallen have seen death and know how to postpone its coming. A Fallen with this skill has 1 minute added to each stage of their death counts.

Racial Determents:
Complex Form: The Fallen come from Order and are very intricately designed. They are therefore rather difficult to mend. All damage taken is considered aggravated damage.

The Fallen must have long silver white hair and black coloring around the eyes.
