About Vine (Template)

One of st753m's main templates.  They tend to be ancient immortal wanderers, religious figures who happen to be atheist, or dragons.  Always very tall.  

Clusters

Vines have three personality states which they can inhabit.  While other character clusters form based on initial childhood environment and become unchangeable for an individual instance, any Vine can turn into any state from any other, much like water can change between solid, liquid, and gas based on temperature and pressure.  The states and their requirements:

  • Nomo Vines are Vines which can Not escape their situation, and do Not feel safe within it. 
  • Raen Vines are Vines which can Not escape their situation, and Do feel safe within it.
  • Ara Vines are Vines which Can escape their situation (and therefore feel safe)

All Vine either start out as Nomo or Raen, as children are inherently unable to leave their initial circumstances for a number of years.  It is possible but not common for Vines to be twins of each other separated at birth with one starting as Nomo and the other as Raen.  

  • Typical Nomo Start: 
    • The Vine is born to a single mother prostitute.  They are raised in a poor environment.
    • Somewhere between the ages of 10 and 15 they are falsely accused of a crime.
  • Typical Raen Start:
    • The Vine is born to a single mother prostitute.  They are kidnapped by a wealthy and powerful noble who needs an heir and refuses to get one the normal way.

Origin

The first Vine instance was the Murune one.  

Name Attractors

Vines have names whose meanings translate to truth, honest, or other related concepts.  

Vine is a word from my fake language.  Vi means truthful/honest, and Ne is a generic masculine name ending syllable.  The original Murune Vine changes the exact pronunciation slightly over time (as not all places he lives have the same sounds, and his culture did not have issues with anglicizing that modern earth does) but it is always two syllables long.

Other names which fit this pattern: 
Male: Amin, Adil, Liem
Female: Verity, Alethea, Sidika, Sati

Attractors

The primary theme of their magics are Survival.  This can take several forms.  The platonic ideal would be the abilities of SCP-682 (Hard-to-Destroy Reptile).  Healing, durability, or barrier-based powers are also likely.
