To begin with, all characters will start out as Supplicants. Your race is a free package granted to you through the grace of being born. The relevant abilities and drawbacks represented by the race's description are averages. Obviously, a player could very concievably create an above or below average character if they desired it. There are other sentient races in Citadel, and the PCs will no doubt encounter them. However, for the time being these six are sufficient.

Classes

The Pilgrim[/b][/u]
-Pilgrims are the pious non-members of the Order. Those who are devout to the Willow, but do not wish to join the ranks of the Order are Pilgrims. Many go on great journeys across Citadel in search of knowledge or even just to see the great holy sites that the Willow visited. Some even go so far as to minister to the layman about piety and living a good life. In essence, they are the most common of religious believers.
-Becuase of the mundaneness of the class, PCs are not allowed to be Pilgrims.

*
The Supplicant[/u]
BODY: +0
MIND: +0
SOUL: +0
Attributes: -no bonus-
Skills: -no bonus-
-Supplicants are the souls who hear the call to the Order and have entered the Trial. These are the most common of all the Order, as all the Order's members are Supplicants at their most basic. Also, the Supplicants who have passed the Trial, but not taken a title, wander the world seeking their calling.
-All PCs start out as Supplicants and have unlimited advancement after ward into any listed class afterwords. Supplicants have no bonuses to stats or attributes, as they have no experience in the world and have no real idea of what their calling in the Order is.

*
The Warrior[/u]
BODY: +1
MIND: -1
SOUL: +1
Attributes: +1 Attack Combat Mastery
Skills: +1 Any Combat Skill (Any Specializtion)
+1 Military Sciences (Any Specialization)
+1 Medical Sciences (Emergency Response)
-Warriors are the backbone of the Order. They do the missionary work of the Willow and the Grandmasters, aiding the weak, protecting life, and aquiring knowledge wherever possible. Dutifully bound to defend the other members of the Order, the Warriors outnumber any other Class by two to one. Restricted by the Code of Aranas, they cannot kill another without pressing cause. The Code lists these as the imminent death of a member of the Order, the imminent death of a defensless person, or the perscesution of anyone without just purpose.
-Warriors start with heightened BODY and SOUL stats because of their need for higher health and resiliency. Also they have a greater need for piety and honor. They have a lower MIND stat because of their unyielding devotion to the Code of Aranas without exeption. Warriors recieve a bonus rank of the Attribute, Attack Combat Mastery, as they are the most combat inclined and willing to fight of the Order. They also recieve a bonus rank of the skills Medical Sciences (Emergency Response), Military Sciences (Teamwork), and any Combat Skill (any specialization). These are most clearly important to the Warriors for their practicality and usefulness in combat situations.

*
The Scholar[/u]
BODY: -1
MIND: +1
SOUL: +1
Attributes: +1 Dynamic Powers (any Minor)
Skills: +1 Occult (Any Specialization)
+1 Physical Sciences (Any Specialization)
+1 Social Sciences (Theology)
-Scholars exist only to learn and apply this learning. They understand more about the world around them than the most learned of mages and wisest of priests. Most Wizards and Priests alike across Citadel study as Scholars of the Order. They follow the Dimarian Oath, whose fundamental teaching is "to watch and conserve what one can; record all else." Though many follow this tenant, there have been many in history who have brought more aggressive tendancies to the Order. The Order's sages and wizards have been almost exclusively responsible for advancement of magic theory and theological thought. Without Scholars, it is almost assured that history as it is known now would be forgotten and lost to mortals.
-Scholars recieve higher MIND and SOUL stats to reflect their training in the dynamic arts of the world. However, they suffer from lack of combat prowess, and as such, their BODY Stat suffers. Physical Sciences and Occult skills show how Scholars deal in Mana and Ether. Their training in Social Science (Theology) reflects their advancements made by the Order in understanding Pantheon and Divinity. Scholars recieve a free Dynamic Power rank for their constant study of magic and theology.

*
The Itinerant[/u]
BODY: +1
MIND: +1
SOUL: -1
Attributes: +1 Heightened Awareness
Skills: +1 Performing Arts (Any Specializtion)
+1 Acrobatics (Any Specialization)
+1 Stealth (Concealment)
-Itinerants are the eyes and ears of the Order, recording those secrets and plans that none may know. Many Itinerants fight with shadows, acknowledging that a world of darkness can be lit only so much. Skirting the more sinister parts of mortal nature, the Itinerants are exposed the secrets and atrocities of the world. Most likely to diverge from their path, former Itinerants are the most common of the Forsaken.
-With more influence put upon their quick wit and dexterity, they train to increase their BODY and MIND Stats. However, the constant exposure to temptations and nefarious nature of the world grates against their SOUL. They have a Performing Arts skill to reflect their ability to become someone or something else. Acrobatics allow them to escape from most situations, and Stealth to allow them to get into those situations. Itinerants recieve Heightened Awareness to allow them to be conscious of thier surroundings and observe things as they are happening and percieve more about the world around them.

*
The Knight[/u]
Stat: +1 to all class bonus Stats.
Attributes: +1 Organizational Ties
Skills: +1 Management and Administration (Executive)
+1 Any Skill (your choice)
+1 Etiquette (any class)
-Knights lead the Warriors in combat and have the duty of leading the entirety of the Order by example; only the most superb may become Knights.
-Info pending

*
The Grandmaster[/u]
Stat: +2 to all class bonus Stats.
Attributes: +2 Organizational Ties
Skills: +2 Management and Administration (Executive)
+1 Any skill not already aquired
+2 Any skill already aquired
+1 Social Sciences (Theology)
-Grandmasters are the ultimate leaders of the Order. A group of twelve members meet every year on the summer solstice to discuss the relevant events of the upcoming year and the previous year. The members of the Grandmasters are called from all the ranks of the Order without exception. The voice of a Pilgrim is the same as that of a Knight in the Council of the Grandmasters.

Half-Mortal[/u]
A half-mortal has ancestors who are some combination of human and another mortal species. Most common are half-elves and half-mowershians. To take a half-mortal race, pay the listed Half-Mortal Cost in CP. Once you have done this, your race becomes half-"race". There are some rules to consider however.

Your racial Attributes are capped and cannot be increased during character creation. You may improve them later with Advancement Points awarded by the GM. Also, you may increase or decrease Defects as necessary as normal. Note that increasing a Defect nets BP, while decreasing it costs CP.

You cannot take the human racial package. The package describes humans, on average, as fast learners with no preset genetic abilities. On the contrary, the other mortals have manifest powers and disting Attributes that make them different from the humans. To be half-mortal and human would be a contradiction of genetics, not to mention interests.

In terms of roleplaying, your character may have some interesting complexes, being a descendant of two very seperate worlds. This particular race should have a very interesting backstory.

[eunhathes]

Citadel Empire
This is the nation that conquered the known world. Through brute force and guile, the Empire managed to consolidate their power and began to spread their borders out. Over time, the citizens of the Empire came to realize that their way of conquest was not ideal. It was this reason alone that Citadel stopped expanding, and yields the current "sliced" style borders of the world currently.
The Imperials are accepting and tolerable, held in high regard by the majority of the world. They tend to have a very ecclectic view of the world, society, and theology. The Imperial Army is the most formidable fighting force known to exist outside of the Order.
Though accepting and benevolent in behavior, Citadel is the only nation still in existence from the Age of Dreamers, the First age of Citadel. Thus, it is totally possible they have not been comletely forthright with the world.

Mowershe
Not too much is understood about the citizens or the terrain of Mowershe. Located along the Tropic of Esialis, in the southern hemisphere. The residents of this nation fought diligently and viciously when Citadel invaded them. Their army held the Imperials at bay for almost 200 years.
Again, Mowershian culture is mostly a mystery to the rest of Citadel. It is rumored that Mowershians are giant creatures, of moderate intelligence, who go about their homeland marauding each other in a kind of jungle guerilla warfare.
Mowershe has been a quiet place since the Empire ceased their wars against the other nations. They do not have any outside contact with Citadel, and their northern provinces are held by Citadel as territories and colonies.

Arcoz
Arcoz is a small nation on the northern coast of the Wasteslands, who owe their entire society to the idea that they are descended from the dragons of the desert. When Citadel ceased their war with the world, Arcozians began to reclaim their lost territory with extreme haste and order. In a matter of the few years since the end of the Last World War, the Arcozians have reestablished themselves as a force to be reasoned with, and the Knights of Citadel have acted accordingly.
Arcoz itself is a serene area of arrid desert dotted with multitudes of oases. A large river, the Siruset, dominates the vast majority of their society. The largest of cities in the Wasteslands line up and down the river.

Eosayre
Long ago, two races dominated the northern continent of Eosayre. By the end of the Age of Dreams, one of the races had been eradicated from the landmass, leaving the Eosians who dominate the continent with their rigid divisionary society. Males are almost exclusively warriors, while the females of the species are commonly mages and priestesses. Some exceptions have been encountered before in history, however because of the inablity to adapt to the other school of thought and behavior, their lives are most often cut tragicly short. The Eosians do not tolerate any who display the capability to be both warrior and mage simultaneously, often going to great lengths to capture and execute these individuals.
Eosayre is reknown for its vast tracts of uninhabitable tundra, punctuated by its grand forests full of centuries old trees towering over the land like gods and kings. The northern land is also home to another group of dragons, far more civil than their Wasteslands counterparts. These dragons have been known to organize into grand empires, and for the first two World Wars, sided against the Citadel Empire, though by the Last World War, they had fallen into ruin and ennui.

More nations to come.

Only Humans may take Badass.

As humans have progressed throughout history, they have performed feats of extraordinary daring and gall, provided a measure by which all other races are judged, and their ambition has propelled their exploits to near legendary status. To reflect this, the Attribute, Badass, allows a Human character to perform feats beyond the regular measure of Mortalkind.

Each point of Badass provides an additional ability besides being a mere pool of points to expend. Each point adds to your maximum allowed points. Whenever you spend a point, you temporarily lose it until you can replenish them. Obviously, they would work similar to Health and Energy Points.

Whenever you would roll a natural 2, you gain 1 Badass point.

Level 12: "Take it in the Face"
The next time an attack would reduce you to zero Health or less, ignore it and spend 10% of the damage in Badass Points.

Level 13: Power Flux
You have the Power Flux Attribute and have a number of Flux Points equal to your Level of Badass. You may not use Badass Points while you are using Power Flux.

Level 14: Spend 3 Badass Points per turn
You may now spend up to 3 Badass Points per turn.

Level 15: Recover 1 point per day
Whenever you begin another day, you recover 1 Badass Point. This requires at least 6 hours of sleep to activate.

Level 16: Badass Recuperation, Level 2
-still in the works-

Level 17: Derived Value Replenish, 50%
You may spend 1 Badass Point to recover 50% of your Maximum Health and Energy Points.

Vox
Cost: 2pts per Level
Stat: None
Required PMVs: Target
Optional PMVs: None
Progression: Linear, +1 Target per Level
Reduction: *
Restriction: *

From Pantheon and Divinity, the Mortals were imparted a slight degree of their ability to command Reality. This is called the Vox. Vox enables someone to firmly plant an idea or message in the mind of their target. The Vox is custom tailored when uttered to it's specific target(s). The target may make a SOUL roll to resist but only if their SOUL Stat is better than that of the speaker. Vox can be used in some creative means, and has four modes of function.

Request: This mode is more a question, and adds a +2 bonus to the targets SOUL Roll, if it is contested.

Order: The words come out not as a request, but as a mandate. This is harder to ignore, with a -2 penalty to their SOUL Roll.

Ferocity: This use is a step above the Order. It is neither demanded nor requested. It will happen. And with a -4 penalty on SOUL Rolls, to boot.

Gentle: This is used to subtely alter the mood of others. Gentle simply refocuses the attitudes of the Target. It is so subtle, it has no bonus or penalties.
