Weiss - Request for being more resistant to Void Poisoning
#1
Applicable BYOND key - duelist17

Character Name - Weiss

Request Type - Void poisoning resistance

Request Details - I want my character to almost never reach stage 1. Note the "almost", the void is still unpredictable. How or Why? Now I'll go into some of the details, the lore will cover everything else. It won't be like the character will have innate resistance in his blood or something, he is a normal human, but what he will have is a technique that will reduce the possibility of getting void poisoning to miniscule chances. The technique being a double layered void veil. While one void veil is an alternative version of it and the second one is a normal one. The alternative one has all the protective qualities of the void veil, but not the void energy absorbing quality, to make it even safer than a normal one, while sacrificing some offensive capabilities. This is based on the game skill void veil that absorbs 3 void energy and also gives protection. In theory, it should be possible to separate these two qualities to create a veil that absorbs a lot more void energy without protection, or in my case - Sacrifices the void energy absorption quality to make the protective quality better, since less contact with void energy already reduces the risks.

I will mention his past in the lore section, but I want him to almost never get void poisoning. Only way he would get stage one, is if he would bathe in void pollution, if his void veils are active(Which they almost always will be). Also, I won't be using black bolt at all, Just a side note, The character never uses it. 

Reason why you are making this request (If Applicable) - Roleplaying a VA is nigh impossible right now if you don't want to let your character die in a months time. unless you A. Don't use Void gate teleportation at all (Then why the hell are you playing VA) or B. Just don't use anything from your main class while you are affected by stage 1, or even after getting cured for it. So basically, delete your main class for an ingame week(or more, most probably more). I don't care about using black bolt, or else i would have mentioned it here as well, to not use it. and since there is no void poisoning mechanic in the game yet, I actually want to be able to play Void Assassin fully and be able to roleplay them without my character dying. And without giving a dumb reason like "Huh, I guess I'm just Lucky". 

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - His Parents: The Mother was a shunned Mercalan because she used her healing abilities outside of Mercalan beliefs once, The Father was a Mage that used different kinds of magic, but in the past has delved into void magic, but almost never used it ever since. They were both Imperialists but were residing in Lispool. The newborn, which is Weiss, was born with a defect. Basically, his body didn't form well enough for him to be living long in this world, some of his heart arteries were not connected and Mercalan Magic that the mother knew was not able to help, only prevented the inevitable. She was also denied help from other Mercalans because of her status and was told by doctors that it was impossible to treat by normal means. As a last resort, by the sheer desire of wanting their child to live, they used void magic, specifically the father did. They were boosting the newborns natural regenerative abilities via void magic (Like a black elixir would in a way), basically mimicking the process on how a heart would naturally form inside of a womb, so that his arteries in the heart would form correctly for his survival. This was when the father thought of an idea to protect the child as much as he could. He managed to create a void veil that was different than a normal one, or should I say, safer. He basically created a version of the veil that did not absorb any energy from the void itself and only had it's protective qualities(Gameplay mechanic based - Gives the protection, does not give 3 void energy). He was using it on the newborn while they were also using the magic to increase his regenerative abilities. Thankfully, by the stroke of good luck, it worked, sooner or later.

   After that, they moved from Lispool to Karaten, since the mother was shunned there and the father wanted to further study magic, more specifically, improve the version of the void veil he managed to create. Not to mention they wanted to keep what they did a secret for as long as possible. A few years passed, the kid was just like normal. He was 8 years old already. The father was showing him his studies and notes a lot, although they were still private because he wasn't sure about them just yet. The kid didn't understand much of it though. While he was still 8, the political powers in Karaten discovered what his parents did, shortly after, The Church did as well and to say it softly, they were furious. The parents were sentenced to walk deep inside of Merchana forest, and they were never seen again. This created hatred for Karaten and the Church in the child. No Orphanage wanted him and No one was willing to help a voidborn(That's what they were calling him at the time). He managed to survive on his own in the house his parents bought. As time passed, people forgot about him, He almost never showed himself in public where people would recognize him, always wore something to hide his identity. Not to mention the political powers wanted to keep things under wraps as much as possible, so not many people would know, they most likely assume that Weiss is dead by now.

   He dedicated himself to learning all there is to know about his parents, so he read absolutely everything that his father had in his study. That's when he discovered the alternative version of the voidveil, and for some reason, he was able to create it fairly easily. Most likely because he had experienced it as a newborn. But that wasn't all he discovered, He discovered notes that had the idea of combining multiple void veils to increase their potency. But the notes specifically said that the father could not manage to do it. It took Weiss a few years, but he did it. He learned how to create a alternate void veil and stack the normal one above it, basically having two layers of void veils surrounding his body instead of one. While the second layer, the normal one, Absorbed the void energy needed, the first layer was only for absolute protection. So, not he had two sources that would protect him instead of one, and after he managed to perfect this technique, and years of testing out its limitations, He concluded that this was a great discovery by his father, but he would never, ever share it to the mages. No one could find out either, the void veil is invisible, no one would ever know he was using more than one layer. 

   He was determined to keep the label of "Voidborn" and show people what he was really capable of, so he started the way of the Void Assassin, Learned everything he could. While at first using two void veils at once was taxing, as time passed by and he practiced them more and more, His usage of the Veils were becoming like second nature, He didn't even need to think about it anymore. With this, and his reckless determination of using the void freely as a voidborn, he was using their techniques as if they were nothing. His will was unwavering and showing absolutely no fear of void poisoning, He had absolute faith in the technique his father had thought. In his eyes, Getting stage 1 void poisoning with this was just as likely as Iahsus suddenly exploding. Although possible, He wouldn't bet on those chances.

   As time went by, he even discovered spellthievery via a black market, coincidentally. He wasn't that proficient when it came to magic other than void, but this was seemingly perfect for him, as he despised everything connected to the mages because of Karaten, And using their own weapons against them seemed too good to pass up. After he became 20 years old, people already have forgotten about him, and his mature face was very different from his childlike self. He became unrecognizable to the people, changed his name and even dyed his hair grey. He learned a lot over the years about void magic and even spellthievery, while keeping himself hidden from everyone else. He decided to pursue adventuring to test himself more and more, while exploring and learning about the whole world as well. His hatred - still existing within him, but being controlled to not seem suspicious, for now. The story of the "Voidborn" has only just begun.
