[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 8772176, member: 6855223"] “Hold on to 16 as long as you can. Changes coming ‘round real soon make us women and men.” — John Cougar Mellencamp [B]Impetus[/B]: As the group of friends has reached that age where the townfolks will be expecting them to begin contributing to society in some manner, and they are starting to want personal belongings, such as a weapon or piece of armor, they come to the realization of two important facts. They are, in an unseen manner, quite different from most others of the community, which creates a desire for a much different type of life, one more interesting and, possibly, more dangerous. While sitting at a table having lunch in the Boar’s Head, they discuss options. Though no one possesses sufficient equipment to actively hunt game, something small might be acquired using a snare, or beetles, if encountered, might be smashed for their wing coverings. Everyone begins life in the same manner, but the destination should be a choice. Perhaps the Seekers will not be the only known legends to come out of South Road Fair. As these desires will take the group farther and farther from the town proper, trouble is sure to arise in the sparsely inhabited land of The Untamed Wilds that will push the adolescents into the realm of discovery, since they live in a world with limitless possibility, where excellence reaches potential far beyond that of mundane aspirations, and aptitude aspires to deitific proportion. The key element that separates a player character from the mass of existence is the talent to Manipulate Waylines (use magic), commonly called Bending or Weaving. Bending is the term for affecting others, while Weaving is the term for affecting oneself. To the general populace, seeing any demonstration of such talent is greatly feared, for it is the substance of folklore, myth, and legend; but to those who can feel and warp the Waylines, it must be an integral part of life. Giodavi, the self-appointed Mayor of Southroad Fair and owner of the Boar’s Head, approaches the table, pulls over a chair and has a seat. “[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]You youngsters look old enough to start looking after yourselves instead of relying on others.
