The Powers

Abilities

Racial
Elemental Resistance: You treat Bright attacks as one power level lower. (Light becomes Weak, Moderate becomes Light, etc. Weak is completely negated.)
Drawback: Tieflings are largely mistrusted by NPCs. You start with -10 reputation in every zone and can only cap at 90 reputation as opposed to 100.

Class
Perk: Party Sufficient! Passive ability. The first ability that you use on anyone -except- yourself in combat to either heal damage or to mitigate an attack is treated as one power level higher.

Heal (Strong): This spell heals the target of physical wounds.  Each time a specific target is healed in the same thread, the tier of each subsequent casting decreases for that target by one.

Cure (Moderate): This spell cures or reduces the potency of poison, disease, or other substances negatively affecting the target.

Starlight (Light): This spell creates a soft, silvery light that hovers above your head to see by.

Starshield (Moderate): This spell surrounds the target with shimmering motes of light that provide Moderate defense against Magic effects, and Light defense against Physical attacks.

The Stuff

---

Equipped Items

1. Midnight Robes: A set of heavy dark blue and silver robes. Provides Moderate protection from Dark effects and Weak protection from physical attacks.
2. Staff of Light: How to keep a support build alive when soloing. This softly glowing golden staff deals Strong Bright damage...unless you're a tiefling. Then it only deals Moderate Bright damage. Thanks, devs. If something gets too close, you can bonk them for Weak physical damage.
3. Feral Gloves: These black gloves are tipped with silvery "claws" and allow tiefling characters to deal Moderate physical damage with their hands. To use, you have to drop/unequip any held weapons first.

Backpack

1. Potion of Light Healing x3 - Heals up to one Light wound when consumed.
2. Demonbrew - Left over from the last Boozefest. Normally makes the player's screen fuzzy and impossible to make the character walk in a straight line. Now? Pretty sure it will get you drunk off your ass. You're almost afraid to try it.
3. Celestial Kitty Stone - This crystal transforms into a translucent blue vanity pet with a glowing constellation as a 'skeleton.' Shit, it's a REAL pet now. Um...don't use this in a dungeon, okay? Turns back into a stone upon 'death' and can't be used until the next day. But it remembers. Kitty always remembers.

Banked Items:

Star Crystal x99: These are worth more to someone with the jewelry profession, or someone who wants the item they're used for (x10 crystals for a crown that's just a vanity item), but he kind of fell in love with the art and how white twinkles of light move across the dark surface, so he just collects them.

The Person

---

Reputation:
Fame: 2
Guild: None

Character Appearance: Mal is roughly 6 feet tall without the horns, closer to 7 feet if you count the very tallest ones. His skin is pale grey with dark blue scales scattered across his cheeks and shoulders like freckles, and a blue bone plate covers part of the bridge of his nose, growing into a wide ridge over his forehead and extending into a sort of crown of horns. His hair is long and wavy, spilling down his back and around his horns in a loose tangle. Wide violet eyes, sharp-looking fangs, leathery vestigial wings, and a long, prehensile tail complete his demonic appearance.

When not wearing his robes, he dons a pair of dark grey hose and brown boots, with a blue and silver tunic that belts at the waist. He sometimes forgoes the tunic, though, because he paid a lot of gold for the black, blue, and gold butterfly 'tattoo' on his character's back and dammit, he wants to show it off, and it's not like he looks any less like a tiefling with it on, thanks to the appearance options he chose. ...kinda regretting that now.

Personality: StarDemon didn't really roleplay Mal that much; he just liked running around as a tiefling healbot, so what personality the character had before was basically his: laid back, friendly, a little flirty. He didn't really have to pay attention to the NPC attitude about his race because he could still do pretty much what he wanted and had amassed a good amount of rep.

Now that he's stuck AS Mal, he really, really wishes he hadn't lost all that accumulated goodwill when his character got shot back down to level 1. The constant suspicion from NPCs grates on his goodwill, and choking down frustration because if you act mad, they'll think they're right, even though anyone would get annoyed with this shit after a certain point. And flirting...is that weird now? That he's actually here and so are other players? And they can actually touch and stuff? Is it weird? It kind of feels weird.
