Tamesis : Born of the Night Shadows

There has been a little confusion as to what kind of powers will be approved by Tamesis, therefore, I have decided to clarify exactly what is going on in the mind of lovely Tamesis. I don't want to put too many boundaries on powers, mind you, but I'll do my best to give you a foundation of what is easily acceptable.

ORIGINS OF POWERS:

Every divine power in all of Zhadrah is given by Tamesis. That's it. All of them come from her. Now, due to plot situations, there will be options for other kinds of abilities, based on black market technology and similar plot devices, however, even if they do not come directly from Tamesis, she will throw in the added bonus of a very big cost to the ability. She's the goddess of the shadows; you can't really hide anything from her. However you also don't have to worry about her being a goody goody all in your personal business as she loves to set people up like dominoes and let them knock themselves over on top of each other.

Tamesis does not run a family business, so she, as of currently, does not offer familial traits or bloodline trait abilities. She may bless items, rituals or other passable curses but typically they will not differ to bloodlines or relations but rather to other kinds of qualities in accordance to agreement. (Any item blessings cannot be passed around to someone who already has a gift. The item blessing will be tied to the character for which it was created. Curses will be dealt with on an individual basis.)

LIMITATIONS OF POWERS :

One Person : One Power

If you make one character for Zhadrah, you have one scope your powers are in, kind of like an element or affinity. You can only have this one affinity. Example: If you are granted the gift of Shadow Duplicate where you can make a replica of yourself using your shadow, you won't be able to add on any gift outside of using your shadow to make manipulations. So you can't fly or grow yourself fifty feet or breath fire; just shadows.  However, you will be able to add branches to your ability, like going from only being able to create vague, temporary replicas to ones that are longer lasting and more realistic.

The strength of each power will be still mortal. You do not rival the Gods with any gift, no matter what it might be, because the Gods are trying to keep another Empire catastrophe from happening. Hence the dividing of powers among individuals. 

Tamesis, however, limits the power in another way as well, as a big fan of struggle and sacrifice. Tamesis does not give powers without taking something that will give the person an Achilles Heel because of what kind of goddess she tends to be. To entertain herself, she gives gifts but takes gifts as well and sometimes those "taking" things are requests in the form of a favor and sometimes they are years off your life or any other thing you value be they memories, joys or motivating sorrows.

Tamesis will be accepting fighting based abilities if they are realistic in expectations because she doesn't accept anyone as a rival. However, Tamesis will be happily offering what seems like a too good to be true deal only for someone to find a price tag they may not have been expecting as a result. Because she indulges in the sufferings of human kind as they struggle to survive their ordeals; she will grant dangerous gifts but the gifts will be dangerous to the gifted. Please keep this in mind when requesting these kinds of abilities.


I believe this is the only stipulations that I have. If someone brings something to my attention I will correct this. Thank you very much.
