Character: rem tokimiya
Type: player plot rem wants to find something to use as the altocrystarium from her world /finally putting in a formal request
Idea:
So Rem here is in desperate search of an artifact that she can use in lieu of the Altocrytarium. So lemme explain what that is as well as her motivations first:
What is the Altocrystarium? Canonically, it's a term that refers to both a place and an artifact held within that same location. The artifact allows the character to submit phantoma (souls) to it in order to both increase the potency and efficiency of the spell, as well as learn/unlock the special and forbidden ones. Different spells require different types of souls submitted to enhance them.
Why does she want to do this? Rem wants to become stronger both to survive and to protect others. Enhancing her magic is her best way, and she wants two spells in particular:
1. Rem wants to be able to use the Reraise spell-- a high-level spell in which she can bring someone back from the dead (in Type-0, canonically a cadet is not KO'd, but dies). Rem currently has a work-around in her Undying Wish ability in which she can cast Resaise... but it only lasts a measly ten seconds. She wants to learn the actual Reraise spell properly. How does she know she can be able to use it? Because the Archsorceress in her world can use it, and she's the only one canonically shown to apply it. Rem knows she's not as strong as the Archsorceress at all, but she goes by the logic of "if it's possible for her to handle it, then I should be able to, too". Why does she want to learn this spell? Aside from the obvious, the spell canonically can be enchanted to items (as done by the Archsorceress in the first mission). Not saying Rem herself can enchant an item with reraise, but just explaining her motivation.
2. Rem also wants to learn the Death spell. Why does she want to learn the death spell? Because she was nerfed of her innate killsight ability. Death is a magic spell in Type-0 that applies Killsight to enemies. What is killsight? If someone marks you with killsight, you get hit once and you're dead.
I know that one can regain an ability with the rewards page! If Rem is allowed to succeed in using an artifact for this purpose, I'll still use the rewards submissions page to unlock that magic. This is just how she'd ICly try to go about unlocking an ability first, though, rather than brute-force attempting to learn Dead and Reraise on her own (and still using the reward page).
So I wanted to see if there was something at all possible Rem could find and use.
Is Rem capable of making the Altocryastrium? Personally, I don't think so. The Altocryastrium was made by the "mother-creator" of their world, who is, in fact, the Archsorceress. So if there was any question of how the Archsorceress was able to bring back people to life and how profound of a spell it is, it's because she's literally a creator deity in the first place.
Is Rem capable of modifying an in-game mysterious artifact to make an Altocrystarium? HERE IS WHERE THE REAL QUESTION IS. Because that would be up to y'all if she's successful. I would like to say yes she can, if only because Rem is desperate enough to continue at attempting. So OOCLY I'd rather have this done sooner than have it be an endless, ongoing thing. Or at least until she decides to go the whole "I'll learn how to raise people from the dead and apply killsight on them on my own"-route.
What would be suitable for an Altocrystarium? Probably, something very ancient and powerful? Her intent is not to use whatever item this is for its original purpose, but to modify it for her own. That is, to make it so that the soul she consumes will be translated to a new, permanent power (i.e. enhancement of a magic or unlocking a spell). Currently, Rem using phantoma only gives her a transient effect: it refills her magic capacity.
Can this be used as some other type of plot? Maybe? Rem will be gathering phantoma as is her duty. She typically hangs out late night around Nogard waiting for any bodies to be dumped by drunk or suspicious corsairs. Most of the time she's under the impression that no corsair cares about whose dead bodies they dump (because they're cutthroat ruffians). But, if y'all wanted to make it into "some on Nogard, are noticing that ppl have gone missing-- missing, missing, as in their bodies cannot be found" or "an important corsair noticed that their rambunctious son's body was never found after he lost a drunken duel", I'm game. Happy to have her be caught by characters who are interested in putting a stop to her serial soul-stealing (from dead people, not living).
She'll also be asking a few people to help her with an adventure to find an appropriate artifact. or steal one, if necessary.
Date: Whenever there's an open slot.
Questions: just the "can she do this plz" and if so what would the artifact be, or is it something i'd just have to continue to look out for in events, etc.
