I dont want to be overpowered (cause thats no fun to play) but I also really like aetherbounds and spore eaters and I really like the idea of being like 'I could eat a whole lake if wanted to, but i die instantly without water'

I'm not entirely familiar with the magic system, that's why I was asking another GM their opinion

My issue is

You'll either never die, or you'll die too fast

There are just so many issues with being a spore eater.

Ah. Okay. So that means the non-Spore Eater version?

NAME: Jemison "Jemms" Slim Oddsworth

GENDER: Male

AGE (12-18): 14

SKILLS: Drawing, tying shoelaces, holding breath (3 minutes at most), hiding

BACKGROUND: Youngest child, loved by family, but when his name was drawn his older brother was too scared to volunteer in his place.

WORST FEAR: Killing things (he can't even kill insects), confrontation

FAVORITE COLOR: Yellow

OTHER: Does not want to be in the games. More so than the others. Hardly suicidal though.

Spoiler

Hydraspine

Slightly smaller than Greenspine. Three heads, named Frenzy, Logic and Braindead. Each head has a different spore, although they are much weaker individually than the one spore of the Greenspine and Redspine.

Frenzy: Crimson (shoots crimson spikes out of mouth)

Logic: Sunlight (shoots sunlight aether out of mouth, not particularly harmful)

Braindead: Zephyr (burps zephyr clouds, mostly useless)

Not as smart as the Greenspine, not as emotional as the Redspine. Much more chaotic. Does not have Larkin DNA (can't steal Investiture). Because its heads are smaller, it has to chew its food before it swallows. The heads fight over food; Frenzy and Braindead frantically try to gorge as much as they can while Logic suggests they try splitting it evenly. If you haven't guessed already, they are very bad at agreeing on things.

Let me know if the Hydraspine having three different spores is too overpowered (although I don't see an immediate practical use for sunlight and zephyr and they are all very limited anyways). Also if I can only have one then I choose the Hydraspine (or maybe the Hydraspine will only appear after Jemms dies?)

Character looks good! Proposition: the twist in book 1 is applied to here

and when a contestant dies, the hydra spine gains a head. That might be one spore tho.

Book 1? As in, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? There are a few twists in that one. Might I ask for clarification?

Maybe when it kills a contestant it grows another smaller head without a spore.

In book one, the wolf dog mutt things that hunt her down are implied to at least metaphorically to be mutt versions of the dead contestants.

How does one shoot spores out of their mouth, notoriously wet places?

AGE (12-18): 17

SKILLS: Alice is a steadfast, resolute young women; when she's faced with a problem, she finds a way to fix it, rather than wallow in despair. Alice worked in construction with her dad for years, and has gained quite a bit of muscle because of that.

BACKGROUND: Alice's younger sister was reaped, and Alice wouldn't take such nonsense. They volunteered.

WORST FEAR: breaking down and being unable to help.

FAVORITE COLOR: green.

OTHER: gimme some spores.

This is a good point, yes. Spore-eater?

 

Hey! Spores are ssshhhhh. Other than that, it looks good. I would ask someone with more seniority.

So they're very thirsty. With three Sporeness things, they'll probably die. If it's just normal spores.... the spikes would rip your eyes out.

The Hydraspine is a spore eater. It is genetically engineered to require flesh instead of water to fuel the spores, which is why it has an insatiable hunger. If it doesn't get enough food, it will start eating itself.

How would y’all feel about the Hydra guarding the only water source?
