Aspect - Force

-


Force is the first of the Five Aspects. It is, among many other things, the aggressive domain of fiery individuals who prefer action, rather than talk.

The Elemental power of the Force Aspect is Fire.

Choleric individuals, prone to taking initiative are those most likely to choose Force as their primary domain, but this doesn't imply it is the domain of bull-headed egoists. On the contrary righteous zealots, passionate, inspired, driven individuals may all fit excellently in the domain of Force.

In general, however, Force is the domain of daring deeds, where actions speak louder than words. The bold, the brave, the daring, the dashing and heroic are all part of Force.

This is also the domain of competition, where the swift, decisive and willful prevails over those who may be more ponderous or even considerate.

As such, however, it is the domain of battles, not wars. It is the Aspect of victory here and now, no long-term goals involved.

This is why Force underneath its promising glow of courageous deeds, glory and excellence, also often conceals the brash, impatient, unruly, undisciplined, and short-fuse.

It is also dangerous for all the heroic characters attracted to it, because without discipline, hardiness, and tenacity they will not achieve much in the end, and their valor will prove false and fickle.

In the domain of leadership, the path of kings, Force must be tempered with Insight, whilst the path of warriors demands that Force be tempered with Fortitude.

The following abilities are developed with the Aspect of Force:

  • Athletics
  • Combat (Prowess)
  • Courage
  • Intimidation
  • Might

The following traits can be developed under the Aspect of Force:

  • Aggressive
  • Brave
  • Fiery
  • Forthright
  • Willful

The following flaws can develop as part of the development of Force:

  • Bloodthirsty
  • Brazen
  • Bully
  • Impatient
  • Short-fuse
The central virtue that develops with the Aspect of Force is Valor, the ability to show courage against all odds, and to act without doubt or hesitation for the things you hold dear.

The Dawn II

Akaon tried to channel the fire that burned within him, giving shape to the innummerable hopes and dreams contained within his being. He created perfection effortlessly, each creation better to the one before, and yet, it was all futile. For all his power, everything was to him as a passing plaything was to a child – an inconsequential triviality, whilst Akaon yearned for the profound, the unknown, that over which he had no mastery. So in his solitude, Akaon begun to despair, for what was to some the ultimate liberty, the ability to do all they willed, also became their prison. What meaning was there in existence if all was preordained in a certain manner, if all that came to pass was already perfect, or happened exactly as they willed it? And then the eternity that encompassed him acquired substance, and from nothing, something came to pass. A second impossibility occurred, one that had come to balance the first. A being unfolded from the darkness, a wondr

The Concept of Empyrean

So what is "Empyrean"? Empyrean derives from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek ἔμπυρος empyrus "in or on the fire", which when ascribed to a person describes someone who is "of fire" or "contains fire". Empyrean has been used in ancient and medieval times to describe the higher realms of heaven where everything is divine fire. In our context, an Empyrean (sometimes also referred to as an "Incarnate") is an Aethon who has incarnated as a human. Therefore in that context we are actually talking about empyrean humans, but that is needless semantics. So what is an Aethon, then? The word Aethon is also ancient greek in origin. It translates as "fiery" or "burning" and has the same root as Aether which is, in other words, the quintessence of heaven. An Aethon could be a being of the flame of heaven, or someone who burns with that flame. In our context, an Aethon is very

Arandor - An Age of Defiance

Mankind fell. It toppled from its high-perched seat, where it once gazed upon the universe with boundless ambition. Now tyrant-gods reign in gigantic citadels, whilst free men and women have turned into subjugated worshipers, or survive as marauding mutants, daring the new perils of the warped wilderness and the red desolation. This is the Age of the Fall. Six Tyrants now rule over thousands of Chosen, and millions of human slaves, worshipers and sacrificial victims. Together they are known as the Hexad, and are agreed upon as the official and only religion of Arandor. The Hexad have designated themselves as gods, bestowing gifts upon their chosen, rescuing their faithful from their tremendous ire, and punishing all other gods, seen as false. For a thousand years they’ve reigned, destroying all knowledge of the past, and completely rewriting the world’s history to suit them. They are fickle, whimsical gods. They are cruel, sadistic beings. But who can d
