Heritages

A Heritage is something you choose at character creation. They can represent a bonding with the Imperial Machine that occured sometime in the past, or Alchemist training, or being of one of the Blessed Lineages.

Each Heritage allows access to certain skills, allowing you to train them. You may only choose one Heritage at character creation, though as you progress, you may be able to choose others. Only one Blessed Lineage Heritage can be chosen.

The Heritage are as follows:

Blessed of Earth
Blessed of Earth are people who's ancestors were blessed by the Earth God. Like the other Blessed of the Terrestial Gods, they manifest of variety of different abilities related to their element, Earth. They are exceptionally hardy and strong, able to endure great physical hardships. They have a natural ability to sense stones, and to a certain extent metals, in the earth, and as such are often used in mining operations. They are also capable of moving through stone walls.

Physically, they are typically tall, over six feet, and extremely large people. They often have dark, ruddy skin and brown hair.

Blessed of Fire
These Blessed are characterized by their control and production of flame. They are often seen hurling balls of fire, or scything through enemies, weapons aglow with flames. They can surround themselves with an aura of flames that damage all that come near, and have a natural immunity to fire. They are, however, vulnerable to Water.

Physically, they are often very pale of skin, and have red hair. They are excited, animated people who can rarely sit still.

Blessed of Water
The Blessed of Water are the Blessed most able to sense and manipulate the emotions of others. They can tell what others are feeling, incite humans and animals to rage, or calm them. They have a certain control over water in general, able to flood rivers. They can sense and communicate with spirits.

Physically, they are of pale skin, with very pale, blonde hair. They are typically of average height and weight, but almost always have blue eyes.
