character design and development

[eldarin]

Hi all,

Probably covenant upbringing over sheltered upbringing. Anna is mostly counting on servants and such to raise Bravery when she isn't teaching/watching him personally. Which still means quite a lot of mother/son interaction, but it also means quite a lot of Covenfolk/Bravery interaction.

Assuming silveroak gives an okay, I can take over Bravery's character with Heir and Covenant Upbringing added. I have no idea how we're balancing virtues and flaws with the Fertility Magic involved. Hopefully I can leave most of his 'education' decisions to you, I can figure out any free seasons he has and keep the character sheet updated.

I asked on Recruitment: Players Looking for Games whether there is a Maga or Magus interested to take an apprentice and silveroak responded that Praesidium Orae has some Maga offspring that might need a player. I wouldn't mind waiting another 5 years to take over a completely blank sheet character or take Bravery if raccoonmask is only planning to take him because nobody else is (not sure from briefly following the discussion what is the case).

If the troupe is interested in having me as a player, how should we best proceed?
I am new to PbP and relatively new to ArM5 (I started or am about to start playing in Bad Apples), I played a bit of ArM4 back in the days. After that we played WoD and nobody took the task to lead another Ars Saga.

If I see that correctly the Ex Miscelanea tradition will be Praxologist, involving

Virtues: Inventive Genius, Comprehend Magic
Flaw: Chaotic Magic

not Fertility Magic in particular, is that about right? My long term goals would then probably involve following my mater and her parens in integrating some ancient magic into hermetic magic myself (I thought about Canaan Necromancy). WDYT?

I am completely blank on Fertility Magic, so I have no idea how that interacts with character creation. What is the most important thing I should read about?

Best
