Canon Roles

There are certain established individuals within Terra Heroum that are the closest to what we would call "canons". It is just a fact for the in-game world that these people exist and while they could all be NPC'd by the staff, that is boring. Thus, members can create their characters to fill these roles. Most canons will have some kind of requirement, so if you want to make a particular canon pay careful attention to what it says about them. Some of these requirements may be a bit "vague", but use your best judgment on how to fill it if you are interested. However, most canons also have some kind of bonus fitting for their station.

Only one canon character per player. This is to keep one person from taking half the canons on the site. Staff can NPC a canon if necessary for plot purposes and the role is unfilled, but all control will be turned over to the player if it is made afterwards.

With that said, these are the canons:

Representatives

Beastfolk Representative: Taksaka
The Representative of the Beastfolk on the High Council.
Starting Bonus: Two Racial Skills instead of one and starting at Tier 2 in their chosen class.
Requirements: Must be a Beastfolk, at least 30 years old, and have earned the position of Representative through their actions rather than other means.
Notes: Those who want to get away with a Half-Dragon Beastfolk, this is probably the best position to do it.

Elven Representative: Savas Lambros
The Representative of the Elves on the High Council.
Starting Bonus: Two Racial Skills instead of one and starting at Tier 2 in their chosen class.
Requirements: Must be an Elf, at least 30 years old, and either have great deeds of their own along with being related to the previous Representative, or have a great enough list of deeds to overcome the lack of familial ties.

Requirements: Cannot be a Mage for starting class, and cannot use "non-combat" magic. Also all Magic abilities acquired must be related in some way to the abilities of a Dragon.
Notes: The Cult of the Great Dragon is public knowledge due to how wide spread it is and a number of its followers being captured. Since Pact making is illegal, you can't flaunt your identity around. Also while you might want the "Draconic" skill, it isn't required to be in this canon role.

Cultist of the Great Dragon: Open
A cultist in a cult that worships a powerful Dragon.
Starting Bonus: The Pact Initiate skill
Requirements: Cannot be a Mage for starting class, and cannot use "non-combat" magic. Also all Magic abilities acquired must be related in some way to the abilities of a Dragon.
SPECIAL: This is not a "one person" canon role. This will be a perpetually "available" canon role that lists all those who join as cultists, so there can be any number of people in this role. Again, Pact making is illegal, so you can't flaunt your identity around. For Mages who want to be a Cultist, simply list it as your Occupation, but you do not gain the benefits of this Canon role.

Foreign Emissary: Open
The representative of the foreigners arriving in Terra Heroum from a distant land.
Starting Bonus: One Educated skill of your choice and one Artisan skill of your choice.
Requirements: Cannot be from Terra Heroum (PM staff if you need more details for this)
Notes: Diplomatic Immunity is not a thing, but you are essentially the local lord for Gaikokumachi.

Shady Merchant: Open

Starting Bonus: The Efficient Alchemist skill and half off on all Consumable Items.

A rather honest merchant who never lies to his customers, so they tend to pay him more. They mainly travel between the three city-states.

Requirements: None
Notes: This ability stacks additively with the similar ability from the Adventurer Prestige class.
