Request Details -  Hello there, it's your boy! I'm after clearance for roleplaying a current combination of powers for my character that's summarized into a single blessing named 'Gift of Belorage'. In shallow details, the embodiment of a Wyvern's racial powers to a different race, Lupine, in addition to Monk and Firebird being taken into a different direction, while still revolving around their archetype.



Roleplay-wise:
- This grants a notable resistance to all forms of poison and the ability to purge it from oneself.
- The ability to speak and comprehend draconian language.
- The ability to transform polearms by imbuing them with the blessing for as long as it is being wielded by the blessed in question. The result is the temporary creation of a 'draconic spear', which reverts to normal if not held or powered for longer than fifteen minutes by the blessed.
- The ability to materialize a chitin-like black armor through magic through the same method. The process, unlike the spear, takes a while to go through.


Mechanically:
- I would see the whole blessing as 'Monk', the class. The 'Ki' part is any additional power that can be drawn from the blessing. And since things there are already fashioned as 'dragons', it makes all the more 'dragoon'-ish for me, which is great!
- Firebird's magical feathers do not exist in this case, they're just lingering, frost-like energy wisps that swirl around whenever a nimble maneuver is done.


Limitations:
- The blessing only lasts as long as the Wyvern is alive.
- Cannot be passed down through generations, stolen or undone by anything without the same height of power as a Wyvern or higher.
- The power itself behaves similarly to Ki, where concentration, stamina and Focus is required to maintain it. So things that 'nullify' or provoke 'interference' might disrupt the power, as well as exhausting the user.

- The Wyvern patron, 'Belorage', does not care about the wielder of their gift, it shares no sentimental ties therefore they will not feel compelled to help Tayuya at all, nor think of them as nothing but an asset to be used.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - My character's backstory is mostly the reason for this request, given how I built them mechanically and conceptually. It's also a way to check if the such could be applicable as a 'baseline' for 'Wyvern Hunters' or 'Dragoons'. A concept that involves making a blood pact with a Wyvern to get a small fragment of their power embedded onto one's soul, in so to give humanoid races a small chance to fight against their kind.

I have put it on plural because it would probably take multiple Wyvern Hunters to take a single one down, I expect. Sadly, Lore is a little unclear on the capabilities of those beasts. Thus why the application is so bold too. But trust me, I mean no harm.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

Roleplay-wise, I don't think I could provide much about it, the character was made before applications were a thing and I never really came to discuss about it overall with any GMs, which is my fault and I'm terribly sorry about it, but I tried to stay as clean and true to the lore as possible. It was said once that Wyverns exist and there are even riders of them, so it wouldn't be farfetched to have someone sell their soul to one for power, right? Thus there's where my character came from.

Wyverns are not solely monsters. They can transform into humans and thus allows communication to be made, and so can (probably) share values and ideals with people. This way it makes it easier for them to be persuaded into striking deals or making pacts if such arises. And given their immense power compared to a normal player, something like a 'gift' would not be more than a pocket change to grant another person, in exchange of a new lackey.

Wyverns are also magical entities with mastery of magic which players have no access to, so it's believable that a lifetime blessing/pact would not be hard to be made as long as the trust of one is earned. I also picture that naturally, a single Wyvern would only want a single knight in its stead, in so to not make this so dumb as for having Wyverns giving out free hand-outs of power for anyone who they like or not.

I'm always open for discussion about it, so if there are any concerns or questions for clarification, please hit me up ASAP in Discord. I'm pretty sure you all already know it so yeah.
