 === Languages ===
 Primarily fluent in Ly'thir, Lami'al also has extensive familiarity with Ci'kesa due to her study of the faith along side her shamanistic training. Though less comfortable with it, Lami'al has also picked up the commonly used humie dialects as a trade-tongue able to identify and to some degree mirror the cultural flavors of the sub-cultures found within the Matriarchy's borders.
+Unique to Lami'al is a personal runic script following the rules of Lorath calligraphy, but designed to create unique written characters to indicate an idea, a feeling, an event, an intent, or any number of memories or thoughts which are enshrined by her as most important to her personally, which she has developed over the years. This script has been refined heavily since becoming a shaman incorporating influences and new insights from her mentors. Though meaningless to others who may attempt to read it, she uses it to record her most personal observations as well as uses it extensively in her practice of spellcraft.

 ==== Abilities ====
->Abilities are different from Skills - as Skills represent common knowledge throughout the whole profession while abilities represent a character's personal twists on something. For example, many characters have the Vehicles skill, but a handful of individuals have the ability to make the car do some beautiful stunts. Many people may know how to use the Firearms skill, but some people can intuitively reassemble firearms or quick-draw.
 **Theme** - List the source of your character's abilities here. This can include Martial, Gadgets, Artificial Intelligence, Cybernetics, Racial, Mutations, Psionics, Spellcasting, and more.

     * **Shell of Self** - An augmentation that predates her accident, Lami'al possesses a standard LSDF braincase which provides security as well as an increased chance of survival in the event of otherwise potentially mortal wounds.
     * **Eye Catching Peepers** - Having one of her eyes destroyed due to accidental exposure to the semi-magical toxins produced by the narrshra'am, Lami'al opted to have her eyes replaced with artificial alternatives. Incorporating much of the technology found in the [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/peeper_sensor_monocle|Peeper Sensor Monocle]], Lami'al is capable of seeing beyond the limitations of unaugmented lorath affording her a comprehensive suite of sight options as well as providing conveniences such as a heads-up display, as well as providing conveniences such as digital file management and the capacity to interact with both augmented and virtual reality.
-    * **Wireless Uplink** - Not wanting to find herself without a way to contact others again, Lami'al has opted for the installation of a cybernetic [[communication unit]]. Installed beneath one of her shoulder blades the unit allows for wireless communication with friendly Lorath systems, as well as includes an internal [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/pico-jelly]] reservoir allowing her to produce a range boosting antenna by deploying the pico-jelly through a port hidden near the base of her right-hand wing. As a safety measure, this communication unit can be disconnected via an internal hardware switch which denies the unit power as well as access to the rest of her internal network ensuring that for security reasons she can isolate herself from potential wireless intrusion.
+    * **Wireless Uplink** - Not wanting to find herself without a way to contact others again, Lami'al has opted for the installation of a cybernetic [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/communications_units#lorath_hand-held_communications_unit|communication unit]]. Installed in a decentralized manner throughout her body the unit allows for wireless communication with friendly Lorath systems, as well as includes an internal [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/pico-jelly]] reservoir allowing her to produce a range boosting antenna or wired connections by deploying the pico-jelly through a ports hidden near the base of her wings, and the inner portion of her elbows. As a safety measure, this communication unit can be disconnected via an internal hardware switch which denies the unit power as well as access to the rest of her internal network ensuring that for security reasons she can isolate herself from potential wireless intrusion.
     * **Ease of Motion** - Simultaneously the most extensive, and the simplest augments, Lami'al has opted for a [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/lorath_bone_grafts_and_replacements|Lorath Skeletal Enhancement]] package as well as the addition of the addition of limited synthetic muscle. These enhancements provide her body with increased baseline durability while affording Lami'al the enjoyment of reduced fatigue, and brief periods of enhanced strength by supplementing her natural physique with [[lorath_matriarchy/technology/lorath_bacterial_charge_pack|bacterial charge pack]] powered musculature.
-    * **Filtration Fancies** - As a result of the unique challenges posed by her aspected physiology, several [[|medical-implants]] have been installed to help her body process and store the byproducts it produces. To this end the majority of her digestive tract has been replaced and augmented to aid in this function with a supplemental pair installed in her chest. During ordinary operation these implants filter, break down, and improve the efficiency of removal of unwanted compounds via-exhalation, however in the event of interruption of regular breathing, increase of aspectation proportions, or her respirator reaching capacity, the implants are capable of storing excess compounds to a limited degree resulting in the swelling of the tissue of her chest until such a time as excess byproducts can be safely removed.

   * **Apspectation** - As her caste has done for generations Lami'al has followed those that came before her and has bonded with another living organism, gaining a taste of the traits that define the other while also granting something of herself. Bonded as she is with a naarshra'am, Lami'al has some of the features of the species while through effort and focus begin able to manifest greater proportions of the animal to which she is bonded.
@@ Line 127: / Line 128: @@
     * **Creeping Flesh** - A relatively small portion of Lami'al's dermal layer has been interspersed with narrshra'am dermal zooid colonies. While typically behaving no differently from her normal skin, these colonies are capable of migrating around her body, expanding in scope, or reducing as needed while knitting together superficial damage and working to improve natural healing of wounds. In the time since her initial aspecation, these symbiotic zooid colonies have systematically removed and repaired all of the scar tissue, sun damage, and has even prevented minor inconveniences such as blemishes leaving Lami'al with skin that at times looks a little too perfect.
     * **Muddled Mind** - Even though her aspectation is typically kept to a minimal level, the narrshra'am tissues present throughout her body has resulted in the inevitable accumulation of what would typically be considered unusual compounds in her bloodstream. While these compounds are for the most part harmless physiologically, and are naturally vented as she exhales, several compounds have proven capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and have altered her perception in a manner that many lorath, especially among her more traditional shaman peers would consider enviable. However, it also means that she has not passed a sobriety test in the time since her aspectation.
-  * **Theme** - Ability themes are described in bullet points.
+    * **Manifestation of Form** - Through auto-hypnotic techniques, prayer, and rote-learning reinforced techniques refined for generations by the Lmanel Caste, Lami'al is able to alter her physiology to take on a greater degree of traits present in the narrshra'am that she is bonded with. This change typically applied allows for 20%-25% of her physiology to be changed to incorporate animal tissues, however, if needed the process may be augmented drawing more heavily upon her Faith and personal capacity with magic to push the transformation as far as 85%. This change is a taxing one and typically leaves in its wake a savage hunger as the body seeks to replenish what it has expended.
-    * **Ability ** - Describe the character's ability here.
+  * **Forest Friend** - Thanks to her years spent participating in the initial survey, damage assessment, and recovery operations bordering and within areas that were impacted by the moonfall. Lami'al has had the opportunity both working under mentors and learning on her own to familiarize herself with the ways of the wilds. This has granted her a rough, functional insight into the general behaviours, dispositions, and plausible characteristics of life in untamed lands, even those which she is not immediately familiar with. To this end she can rapidly form educated guesses as to how to approach, handle, or avoid most flora and fauna that she encounters.
+    * **Making Friends Where Ever She goes** - Backed up by her experience and honed capacity for insight Lami'al is capable of with some effort discerning the best way to make a positive impression on a receptive organism. This can be useful to diffuse aggression, allow for closer inspection, or even to garner aid in rare cases.
+    * **Everything is Useful!** - Her duties as a ranger for the LSDF as well as her background as a Lmanel has provided Lami'al with a deep and broad pool of knowledge which makes guessing at potential applications of components of a given plant or animal one that is more often than not informed. As such Lami'al is adept at harvesting materials found in the wilderness and applying them in some useful way, be it animal sinew for thread, medicinal herbs, or even figuring out which things are least likely to kill when eaten.
+  * **Career of Conflict** - While Lami'al has never been deployed to an active war zone, she has spent the majority of her professional career under the banner of the LSDF. This has largely comprised survey, patrol, and information gathering activities in the wilderness operating either alone or as a part of a group, however she has some light combat experience having participated in several pest control and suppression operations putting down some of Lor's more dangerous fauna for the good of all. This along with biannual training refreshers has kept her familiar and comfortable with the standard equipment offered to LSDF infantry.
+    * **Huntress Rather** - While capable of operating as a soldier, Lami'al has fired a weapon more times to bag a meal for herself, or those she worked along side, than in self defence. To this end, Lami'al is a decently accomplished mid-range sharpshooter able to pick out targets in dense terrain and land shots even when conditions are less than optimal. Preferring to stalk and take her time with a hunt Lami'al is much more confident when she can choose when and where to make a shot, rather than having to fire in the heat of the moment.
+    * **Pre-Packaged Competence** - Making up somewhat for her lack of raw combat experience, Lami'al has available through her cybernetic augments an LSDF approved combat package that makes up for where she falls short. This combat package allows her to defend herself and others in shorter range engagements. While able to aim at targets she chooses with augmented speed and accuracy, the package does not grant her the experience or tactical capacity that would make her a truly noteworthy combatant.
+  * **Chemicals and Biology! Oh my!** - Spurred by her aspectation, Lami'al has taken an interest in chemistry and biology studying the structure, composition, and interactions between various chemicals, while tying in with a study of cellular function, byproducts, and interaction when exposed to unusual compounds. Her studies, as of this time are relatively narrow in scope, largely concerned with chemicals most often interacting with lorath and helashio physiology, as well as the unique cocktail of substances produced by the narrshra'am to which she is aspected.
+    * **Management and Mixing** - With access to appropriate equipment, Lami'al is capable of fairly confidently isolating and separating most chemical compounds from mixtures while maintaining their composition and stability. To this end she is capable of producing "extracts," "essences," and with time, lab-grade pure samples of almost any molecular chain she can get her hands on. In addition to this she can usually discern which chemicals are suitable for mixing and storing together, allowing her to produce mixtures for experimentation and study.
+    * **Party Pleasures** - As lorath are wont to do, Lami'al has ventured down the path of recreational substance creation, given her natural convenient access to several exotic compounds, Lami'al is capable of synthesizing (mostly) safe compounds with a variety of intoxicatingly exciting results.
 === Spellbook ===
->Characters with skills and abilities in spellcasting can start knowing a few spells. They can be committed to memory, written in a book, or manifested some other thematic way. Describe how they learn and prepare spells, and their source of power.
->This section can also be used for Psionic abilities.
->This section can be omitted from the character biography if your character knows no spells, psionics, or other magic-like abilities.
   * **Spring's Renewal** - A circle interspersed with Lami'al's personal runes, with four major markings at cardinal points is drawn (typically on a piece of paper), at its centre all of the pieces of a broken object are placed along with a seed that was produced in the autumn months. A prayer is given to allow the new beginning afforded every spring to be visited upon the item beginning the ritual. Acting as a catalyst the essence of the seed is consumed by the spell while returning the object to its initial whole state repairing the damage as if it had never occurred.
     * **Fall's Wilting, Spring's Rebirth** - A much more potent version of Spring's Renewal, instead of a seed, an animal in the autumn of its life is chosen. The older the better.  This animal is sacrificed as a part of the ritual, its life used to fuel the restoration, allowing the spell to not only mend broken objects, but also mend wounds, restore lost limbs, and with a potent enough sacrifice, undo a recent violent death.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+  * **The Dreaming Vision** - Slipping into a hallucinogen enhanced trance state, Lami'al broadens her perception of reality around her. More minor applications allow for the perception of shadows, winds, currents, and impressions of a local area, giving an intuitive insight into what might be present. While more involved trances allow for the perception, interaction, and investigation of the denizens as well as the supernatural environment, granting intuitive knowledge of that which exists beyond the mundane. This process, however, comes at the expense of drastically altering one's perception of reality making navigation of the mundane world challenging, and at times making herself something of a tedious experience.
-    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
+    * **Once Upon A Dream** - A variant of the aforementioned process in which Lami'al allows herself to pass into a dreaming slumber instead of remaining somewhat lucid. In this state Lami'al can project her self outward to interact with plants, animals, and spirits native to the natural world, potentially allowing for her to gain the favour of the locals directly. This process is more effective the more familiar she is with a locale, with unfamiliar locales providing only minimal insight, where as something such as a familiar forest would provide an intense network of information allowing her to see and know what the forest knows.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+  * **Leaf of the Seasons** - Selecting a healthy and desirable leaf, Lami'al is capable of preparing it for an infusion of magical energy. This process typically involves painting runes upon the surface of the leaf using specially prepared resin mixtures, soaking the leaf in varying solutions, exposure to the light of sun, moon, or stars, and regular sessions of prayer and focus. The entire process can take anywhere from a week to a month depending on environment, materials available, and at times luck.
-    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
+    * **Leaf of Spring** - The Leaf of Spring is a focus of renewal, growth, and comfort channelling and magnifying effects that encourage these effects. This makes it a useful aid in pursuits of healing, cultivation, and preparation often being used as a focus in the creation of other more specialized materials, implements, totems, and foci.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+    * **Leaf of Summer** - The Leaf of Summer is a focus of duality reflecting both the warming comfort of the sun, as well as its spiteful heat. It is best used to bolster and improve that which already is making it a potent tool for morale in a pinch or to provide a push to achieve that which seems just out of reach. Less commonly it is used to channel the bleaching heat associated with the sun making it a potent tool for weathering, tanning materials, and if needed searing flesh and bone.
-    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
+    * **Leaf of Autumn** - The Leaf of Autumn is a focus of dissolution, it is a useful tool for disenchantment, banishment, warding, and circumvention. While typically used for rites and activities surrounding the removal of the unwanted, it also makes for a potent aid in endeavours of purification and refinement.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+    * **Leaf of Winter** - The Leaf of Winter is a focus of attenuation, as such it excels at making things less than they once were. In its most basic applications it is able to cut as the piercing cold is said to, allowing for precise division of materials. More esoteric applications involve the erosion of gathered power, the breaching of defences, and the mitigation of that which might do harm.
-    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
+  * **Sun's Memory** - An involved process, a resinous tree must be selected, preferably an old tree. This tree is then prepared by carving script, runes, and symbols of the sun into its sap wood. These runes are then painted with floral pigments that have been mixed with the resin of the tree before its branches are strung with woven wreaths. After this has been completed, a leaf is selected, dried, and then wrapped around a bead of resin. This completed token can then at a later time be invoked before being delivered to a target, at which point the heat of every day of sun the tree has experienced will be released in an instant, the older the tree, the more potent the effect.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+  * **The Jealous Moon, The Covetous Earth** - Using the wood of a straight-grown sapling, a stake is carved and engraved with runes spiralling along its length. After wrapping it in plant-fibre twines soaked in a bowl of dew beneath the light of a full moon the stake is prepared for use. When the stake is stabbed into a target, the target experiences the full tidal forces of the planetary body and the attuned moon. This effect is only effective when the moon is in the sky, becoming more potent the closer the phase moon is to being full.
+  * **Beckoning of Distant Companions** - Requiring a specially preserved piece of an animal which has been repeatedly blessed over a period of six Lor-months and which has spent at least a week in contact with the flesh of the caster, the intent and magic infused item can be used((consuming it)) to summon an individual of the species to the caster's side. This summoned animal is friendly toward the caster and will without fail obey any simple commands given to it, limited by the intelligence of the animal in question.
