The forgotten are a race of astral beings that can transcend the physical realm at will. They have a huge fascination with humans, and other human looking races like elves and dwarves, particularly elves. The purpose of this race of astral beings is all but forgotten, and knowledge of their existence is known to very few. Only the eldest of the forgotten know their true origins and reason for existing. The rest mull around humanity, helping where they can, and continuously being but a shadow to those they are most fascinated with: Man.

R.C.C. Skills
R.C.C. Related Skills
Communications: None
Secondary Skills
Standard Equipment
Do not need vehicles, but can pilot them if the skill for it is selected.
Money: None. Do not need it. Have no use for it whatsoever.
Cybernetics: NONE! Cannot have any, and do not need any.
In the astral or physical planes, whether materialized or not, physical
weapons of all kinds do no damage to them, this also includes magical weapons.
Magic spells and psychic powers all work the same. Magics and psionics
that effect the physical body like bio manipulation or metamorphosis (spells
and powers that don't do damage) have no effect on them. The same goes
for magics and psionics that can be used to entrap and entangle them. They
do not work. The same rule holds true for Nightbane Talents. Energy weapons
do 1/4 damage.
On the physical plane, the forgotten are in an astral form and thus
experience all the benefits of being as such. By spending 10 PPE, the character
can materialize on the physical plane for 1 hour per level of experience.
The opposite occurs when this power is used in the astral plane. Instead
of becoming visible, the character becomes invisible and intangible. The
character also remains in his astral form when entering an astral kingdom,
working exactly as if the character had entered a physical plane.
Appearance: When materialized, either on the physical plane
or when the character enters the astral plane, all Forgotten look like
normal humans of average human height and build. They can appear male or
female. They always have a calm and cool look on their faces, as if observing
life instead of participating in it. All Forgotten appear to be wearing
a long black trench coat, black shoes and pants, and a black shirt, some
collared, some not. These clothes never change. They always appear this
way whenever they materialize or when in the astral plane.
The character can travel to any place he/she has been to before by
mere thought. It takes 2 melee actions to do and instantly takes the character
to the intended destination, no matter where it is on a specific plane.
This power can be used in both astral and materialized forms, but only
in whatever plane the character is in at that time. If the character is
in the physical plane at the time, he/she can only use this power to access
places on the physical plane. Same holds true when in the astral plane
(doesn't matter which part of the plane: inner, outer, or void). Cannot
travel directly into an astral domain or kingdom, but can travel to the
entryway to it.
Dimensional travel is possible, but it costs 20 PPE plus 3 melee actions
to do if not in the astral plane, then it costs only 10 PPE and 2 melee
actions. Dimensional travel is limited only to worlds the character has
been to before. To go to a random world, the character has to use a rift
or portal like everyone else.
Can automatically travel to their astral kingdom:
All of The Forgotten can instantly travel to the astral kingdom they
call home. It still takes 2 melees to get there, but costs no PPE. Their
astral kingdom, rightly called the Forgotten
Plane, appears as a peaceful tropical realm of unparalleled beauty.
There are several buildings that are filled with libraries and museums
that house powerful artifacts. No one other than the forgotten have ever
been to access this kingdom, which is good because some of the worlds most
powerful artifacts are held here as well as vast stores of knowledge. This
is a dream world for any powerful mage. More
on the Forgotten Realm here.
Note: dreamdance minor cannot be used, because the character
cannot leave his body due to his astral nature. Selecting it is still necessary
due to the prerequisite of dreamdance superior.
