Hi, I want to know if anyone ever played an ascended being in a dark sun game (2, 3 or 4 edition). If so what was the character's story, his background, link to other ascended being, how it's party viewed him etc.


 


Just curious :P

I'd be more than happy to tell you about my character. Solusandra is an elan, the first of her kind. In the Green Age, before the Cleansing Wars, she and her people sought ascension, calling it the Great Transition. Theories ran the gamut from pooling everyone's psi-energy to open a portal into the next level of existence to creating an artifact machine to forge artificial bodies (shardmind, haha). The Mind Lords of Saragar used their own theories involving the unique properties of obsidian. Their plan was successful if deeply flawed; they did not account for synaptic deterioration.

The following is cut/pasted from my group emails, from our current game.

He means races/epic destinies like the pyreen, sorcerer-kings, and avangions. Elans and devas qualify as well (both are immortal races), but the latter would be hard to justify for Dark Sun.

Ah ok none of our characters are even close to that level thanks.
