[Tacitus]

This is not a character, but a list of the Shards of Trias's Self, The Shards which a select few characters carry.

SHARDS

Trust(Kane): Allows holder to copy the power of another shard for a short time

Bonds(Jans): The glue that holds the others together, power dependant on number of other shards near it, gives holder a toned down version of the powers of any Shard near it. When all Shards are brought together, this acts as the core of the Gem, any other time it allows one Shard to have an area effect, such as the Guardian combined with the Bonds allows all allies within 20 feet of the Shard of Bonds to have the fighting abilities of a Guardian.

Knowledge(Trias): Aids in Ascent, Guards against Descent, holds knowledge

Faith(Aphra): Increases Clerical Abilities by 100%

Guardian(Devenar): Gives the same fighting abilities as a Guardian

Life(Vesquire): same as Ryu's Aura (no death effect spells), can Truely Ressurect anyone (even self) once per day (aura always activated, even when outside influence of other shards) Any weapon wielded by the bearer of this Shard gains an extreme Holy aura

The Light(Ryu): Gives Trias's Light ability to holder

Darkness(Naran`or): A field of Darkness surrounds the holder, only allies can see through it, powers up evil energies for allies


three or more shards must be brought together for any power to work (there is one exception)

When all Shards are brought together, all the powers are activated. But as a special perk, most of the Shards*** gain an area effect, which affects all allies within one mile. Trias must hold this reassembled Gem in order for it to have any effect. Touching it automatically sends Trias into his Ascent form.

***Guardian and The Light do NOT apply to everyone at this time

upon the destruction of Trias, all the Shards will remain active, but will never be able to be brought together, seeing as the Shard of Knowledge is destroyed.
New Shard:

Gem of the Soul's Endless Love(May Sheckeb): Inside this Gem lies the actual soul of Trias Nusradai, The Betrayer, The Redeemed One, Enlightened Kinslayer, The Guardian. It hold the shape of a redish pink cross hung upon a chain of a stragne metal that ripples and shifts as if someone was talking through it. This Gem not only holds Trias's soul but conveys upon May several abilities and traits of her lover. Her fighting abilities are increased slightly, as are her Clerical abilities and overall resistances (poison, disease, elemental, magic). Beyond this it holds all the memories and knowledge that was held within Trias and his Shard. If this Gem is damaged, all shards burst and May's soul is destroyed along with Trias's.


Upon his death, Trias granted superior power to all the Shards, most will now work within the vicinity of one other shard.


Ashes of the Soul (Castus): This small vial holds the last earthly remains of Trias Nusradai. Though Castus does not yet know what it does, it grants him an understanding of those around him as well as the tranquility he lacks. When touching any Shard it increases the power of that Shard (upgrades below) If he ashes are spilled, all Shards will stop working, indefinately.

Bonds: Grants powers of all Shards, present or not to user
Trust: Copies all Shard abilties, present or not
Faith: Grants access to all Divine spells (druid, paladin, ranger) and clerical powers boosted by 200% instead of 100%
Light: Pretection of the Guardian, grants an armor, speed, and the ability The Light to wielder
Darkness: Impenetrable darkness, calls forth darkness demons (or something like that...) Transforms user into full fledged demon
Life: Mass True ressurection: unlimited
Guardian: Can fight using any style, blows are infused with holy energies
Endless Love: Forms a physical body for Trias (same as at time of death) to defend his family for as long as the Gem and Vial are touching
