"My first gift, mortal, is the gift of the changeling. Should you take this gift, you shall be granted a brand new humanoid body that is to your specification in form; however, I cannot guarantee that I shall craft the body exactly how you wish. This body shall be sustained by a biological core- an organ within you that contains all your life-force. So long as this core is safe, your body shall heal at an extreme rate and shall not age. The body is extremely flexible, and may also be changed somewhat by yourself- you may extend any appendage by 50%, and you may change the toughness of your skin and adjust your muscle density to well past human levels- this body is also far faster and has far better reflexes than any human being alive. You may also change the physical features of this form, including age, gender, and muscle mass.
However, this body is mortal- should the core be destroyed, you will die. The body will also eventually succumb to age; however it will never show any outwards signs of ageing and shall be extremely long lived. You may not flex any appendages that have been extended; they remain rigid.
The second gift is that of the ascendant. You shall be given a human body, which you may decide the physical features of before it is crafted. The human body shall be long lived, though not as long lived as the changeling. The body will age slowly over its whole lifetime; as if a normal human being had its ageing process stretched out over many, many years- however, you shall start in this body at an age that makes you resemble a 17 year old, physically. You shall heal at the rate of a healthy, normal human being. You will have a powerful potential for telekinesis and telepathy, which shall grow passively over half of your lifetime- once you hit your midlife, your powers shall be fully developed. You may master three powerful skills, which shall be revealed to you through your journey. Telekinesis and telepathy are the least taxing of your powers; at most, they shall feel as if you are maintaining a brisk jog.
This body, however, is very mortal and is as susceptible to death as any normal human, and you must always maintain and practice your abilities lest you begin to lose your proficiency in them. Your ageing process shall begin at roughly a seventeen year old, and shall be stretched out across your long life to an elderly being.
The third gift is that of the sussarant. You are granted a spiritual form that most mortals cannot perceive. This form cannot be harmed, and cannot be killed. You cannot die. Though you are not omniscient, you have the ability to learn an infinite amount of information and will never forget anything you have learnt. Your mind will never falter, in any way. Every once a decade, you may send a mortal messenger, and you may send visions to them. The more faithful followers you have, brought by your messenger, the more you are able to realize the full potential of your power.
Beyond these traits, you have no guarantees with this gift; your abilities shall unfold as you gain more followers.
The final gift is the gift of the construct. You are gifted the form of an indestructible arcane construct, powered by an indestructible arcane core- which your soul is fused to, permanently. The construct will appear, feel and sound like a normal human being, of your physical specifications. The construct is physically powerful, and very resistant to damage. When you do become damaged, however, you will leak arcane energies into the surrounding environment. This will be damaging to most biological life. The construct has considerable reserves of magical energies to be used either defensively or offensively. The construct may de-construct itself into arcane energies, and reform where ever it desires. It cannot tire, or know pain.
The construct will literally never die. It will never change its form from its inception. The construct may never sleep, neither may it shut down. Whilst the construct has a large reserve of energy, it may never create spells; rather, it can only create very simple defensive and offensive structures, such as a shield or as a cutting beam."
After his long, wordy explanation of the gifts, the shadow moves towards you for the first time. You begin to realize just how tall he is; perhaps seven foot or even more.
"So, mortal", he says- the voice coming from within himself, rather than from inside you, "which gift shall you take? Oh- and of course; you are more than able to back out and decline the gifts. Though, through this, I cannot guarantee your safety." |

| I breath, "I shall take your third gift, the Sussarant. Do I choose my appearance?" |

"You shall not have an appearance, mortal. I hope you're a good learner."
Your soul is torn into sixty, and resown together in all the wrong order. The experience is very painful, but is over in but a second- when you find yourself looking over what appears to be a small collection of tribal huts, in rather barren and rocky badlands. You can see for quite a distance beyond the huts, however after about two miles your view is obscured by a thick, black fog. |

| If there are huts, then there must be people. If there are people, one of them must be influential, right? Not tribal leader influential, but friendly influential. Who's my lucky messenger? |

@naruto I was at a concert, stop judging me ;-; @Tik The messenger is to be created by you; you dictate the form they will take. A humanoid one would probably be most logical, however it may take the shape of any being you can imagine. |

@Naruto Well I haven't seen YOU in a year. So I should ask where YOU have been. @Tik From the entrance of a small cave near a tribe known as the Identa, a tall albino emerges. He is your messenger. |

| Send this albino a vision, tell him his name is Kovir, and he is the messenger of Barrow. He shall spread my word, and lead humanity in the path that Barrow and his Shadow Master see fit! >:D |

| Kovir understands his God's desires; however, he asks the skies how he could best carry out this plan. |

| I send an image to Kovir. Write them down. Of course, since he is a tribal person and doesn't have a brain advanced enough for literature, the images are pictograms on the cavern walls. I tell him that Barrow decrees the wall to be covered in my teachings, so he can remember the stories he shall tale to his other tribes member. Convince them to listen to me, and that Albinos are my symbol!!! >:D |
