Character Name - Kaizer Vengray (Scarred Warrior)
Request Type - Vampire Age + Special Power + A big of a historical thing
Request Details -  
There are three things I have in mind for this character
The first is that Kaizer is a very old vampire and knows how to survive as one. I would like him to be about 600 years old, but I'd love some feedback on what would work well for the timeline I have in mind.
The second is that Kaizer has been perpetrating a tradition where he pretends to be different people at different times through history by using dark magic to slightly alter his facial features (more on that subject in the lore section). I'd like to apply for his particular brand of ancient dark magic to be a legit thing that can allow him to alter exclusively his general facial features. This would be minor and not extend to other people or other parts of his body, only allowing him to hide his identity, provided he also changes the rest of his appearance through disguise and other means. The power requires him to be freshly empowered by having drank the blood of a person and takes about 15 minutes to perform, uninterrupted in the dark.
The third is that a historical event occured 550 years ago after a war between chaturanga and sigrogana, known as the Mignight Murders, where 31 war veterans were killed in a brutal manner during their sleep, over the course of 40 years.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) -
So the entire point of Kaizer as a character is to be a somewhat more traditional but nonetheless grand villain. He would be what any vampire would hope to be - manipulative, secretive, safe, and well-fed. The ultimate goal of the character would be to get eventually found out by heroes after a long time of mingling with others. He is charismatic, friendly, wise, and easily gains people's trust, then eventually drinks of their blood in the most safe scenarios possible, hopefully all of his own design. So how would he get caught? Well, I have a plan for that. It is related to a mixture of his hubris, complacency and profound exhaustion with existence.

In the end I hope for him to be an interesting and fun villain that eventually gets vanquished in a fun event where many can participate.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

Once a chataran fighting as a knight-mercenary for Chaturanga for decades, he lost his family in a war against the Empire, long before their lands on Sigrogana were taken. The man, no longer very young, sought any mean to take revenge on those who raided his home village where his family resided. A very patient man from the start, he went for the long con. His search led him to Karaten, where he dedicated much of his time to learning about dark magic in order to exact his revenge with subterfuge and brutality. Indeed, the mortal Kaizer was thirsty for vengeance and this hatred festered inside of him for years while he planned it out.
A certain man in Karaten aided him in his quest for this particular style of magic - one to infiltrate the empire and inflict cruelty upon his family's killers. The man offered such a service in exchange for a simple thing: measures of his blood. Non-dangerous, clean. After learning of the identities of them through his already very thorough use of connections and intel gathering methods, he finally exacted his plan of revenge. On a fateful night in the Cellsvich of 550 years ago, a single man was carefully executed in an excessively bloody display, inside of their own home, at midnight. By then, the war was long over... But not for Kaizer. There were still many, many more on the list. And each of them needed to be a flawless murder, which took time to prepare...
Already old, the weary Vengray saw before him his careful, calculated, perfect and insane master plan had a flaw: time. Indeed, with the pace he was going, he would never be able to inflict sufficient cruelty upon those who deserved it. He once again sought help from the dark mage from Karaten, who spoke of a way... A deal, perhaps. A contract with the vampire, and a few liters that had to exchange hands in order for Kaizer to obtain all the time in the world he needed to exact his flawless vengeance.
And one could say the rest is history... Kaizer obtained vampirism at the cost of inordinate bloodshed, and for it, was rewarded with enough time to go through his list, his heart peaceful, chasing each of them down even as they grew to old age, until he made a display of them all. 

When his goal was complete, Vengray had certainly grown cold to the suffering of man, great apathy washing over him. He simply decided to keep living as a vampire with a wavering conviction: to drink from those who deserve it.

Over the years, this conviction dwindled into deeper apathy, and after a couple centuries, narcissism. He grew bored of humans and their antics and sought other pleasures, changing his identity not just to be hidden but also to approach others in different ways. He grew to enjoy learning about others and their unique perspectives, and desired to see more facets of people and more unique people. After his mentor, who organized the pact to turn him, tragically died by the hands of the Sun's Ichor, he swore to live older than him out of a mixture of dread and pride. He made every effort to hide from them during those days, and has been extremely careful since. In all his years, Kaizer was also a very prolific vampire creator, believing it to be a very "pleasant thing" to see another vampire emerge. Anything to dull the pain and boredom of immortality...

But nothing could dull the pain of grief... After all, revenge did not take away his grief for the loss of his family. Immortality did not take away his grief, his scars, and his remorse. Over the years he grew more and more regretful of his actions towards the 32 men of the Empire... What was the point of it all, when war does nothing but rage, people do nothing but die in droves, and history only keeps repeating? What is the point of all this cruelty... Ah, how it eats away...

And ah, how he eats away...
At others... At himself...

Chimera's are in a weird spot where if you make an accident or two while consuming remains/evolving to get traits; you may end up having a slip up and consume something that you didn't intend for your character.

Would it be possible for Chimeras to get a fruit or LE option to remove specific evolution traits a player does not want?

It may detract from the theme of the race a bit, but it's possible to accidently consume the wrong remains and end up with passives you didn't intend for your character to begin with.

So.....Guns mutated into weapons were working properly for a day, single shot guns worked fine, multishot looked like it was working fine but now multishot found the good old bug brand steroids.

When using Basic attack or sub attack with a mutated gun with multiple rounds you will perform multiple full damage basic attacks ( the same kind of attacks as listed in https://neus-projects.net/forums/showthr...p?tid=8078 )

below is an axe mutated into autopistol, the damage is the same with either widespin/repel/basic attack with the premise that basic attack is doing it four times....

This is a strange bug where my home had been almost wiped out save for some random furniture.
I can move around normally as if on floor with no walls where they should be.
I can't enter the other floors or I'll be sent to the dev room.
This occurred at 4:00 P.M EST on the 22nd of June. 

I've heard it has happened before and I hope this provides some insight.
Down below is more info and the turn of events that happened exactly.

Key: SomeEvilBastard.slot3

Logged onto my character character
Checked my house ticket status for any current houses
Found my current house (Oniga)
Went and moved out (did not enter the house)
Found and moved into a new house (Alstalsia)
(Spend some time building at an alt's house)
Entered my house and figure out it had been voided
Took note of the many missing furniture pieces and three missing floors (fun-o-gram, housekeeper, custom battlefield and two extra floors remained)
Tried to enter a new floor to check if it had retained anything
Immediately got sent to dev room instead and stuck for a moment
Got saved by someone on the event staff
Waited for reboot to come around to check the house again
Find the house is still voided after reboot with the same things missing

"I don't know how you got here, but get out!"

Bet?, I say.

When you use the Reset Altar in the Testing Server, it will not work.

It's intended, but I believe that while in Testing Server mode, you should be able to use that to try out other races. It's kind of very time-consuming to be making alts, getting all the stamps, LE book, yadda yadda.

Can I have an amen for easier race-swapping access in the Testing Server for testing purposes?

Time for one of my more serious threads.

to start ill outright admit this idea is kinda screwed by crafting taxes (which are and always will be unnecessary) 

For one I think cooking should be #1 done from scratch again #2 have tiers of quality like alchemists do (also i dont think this needs to be said but making more of what your crafting when your higher level should be a thing)

Let's start with an example.

Flour + Sugar + Egg = Cake layer. 

Two Cake Layers = Double Decker Cake

4x fruit = Jam of that fruit type

Egg + Sugar = custard

Custard + Jam = (Jam Type) Frosting 

Frosting + double cake = Frosted Cake (or wedding cake) 

Alot of work for the end product but in addition to regen in the high 20's for hp and 40's for fp. (Lets face it food regen is GOOD but not really enticing on it's own) but gives a big in battle buff much like sushi or pizza do. For an example Eating some frosted cake gives you +inititive +cel

also add sweet tooth as a trait i know ive said this before. also additional traits for sushi and pizza traits.

There's the balanced way of being a Healer in SL2, this single baby here allows a "Healer" character to sit down and invest their sole 7M to heal someone for about 75 HP (at its very maximum, and you're at 60 Scaled WIL/FAI), with no fancy AoEs, huge costs, cooldown, high scaling or anything. There's a problem with it, which is Elves.

Elves can make its WIL/2 + FAI scaling become WIL/2 + FAI + SAN, which increases the power of this fairly exponentially when compared to anyone else using this. I've wrongly put the blame on Healer's Legacy in general, but the buds there were right with their claims, and I'll concede to their opinion and instead vocalize better the reason why I wanted to tackle Healer's Legacy, and no longer wish to, instead proposing this:

Quote:Healer's Legacy shouldn't affect the power of combat staves.

Quote:Staff of Mend's heal should be adjusted to 30 + Scaled WIL/2 + Scaled FAI.

I believe it would be much more advantageous for a Black Knight if Castling were you move you beside an Ally instead of swapping places with them, the current Black Wind effect actively nerfs the skill as well, so I believe this might be a fine addition towards it.

The reason being that often enough, I would want to use Castling as a movement option to hop to an Ally within my range, to sacrifice them and/or use Protect as well. Swapping positions with them often does little in that respect, and only puts me in a position where am forced into a situation where I am required to use the Black Wind.
