Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Essence DistilleryThis is a large but portable set of alchemical equipment designed by the Life Eternal grafting company to replicate certain unusual characteristics. When hooked up to a subject, the device transfers a single latent, non-magical ability that they possess into a bottle, where it takes the form of a liquid. The subject loses access to that ability, but anyone who drinks from the bottle is able to use it.

It cannot be used to replicate skills. If a single item has more than one ability attached to it, the equipment can still only replicate one such ability. The ability does not work retroactively: no ability that helps to regenerate or dull pain will work on injuries acquired before the serum was ingested.

The device takes about ten minutes to properly set up, and, due to the difficulty involved, cannot be used on an unwilling subject unless they are restrained or unconscious.


It's probably worth pointing out that this is designed with Tanya's Cell Reclamation tattoo in mind, which is why I put in the second paragraphs of corollaries. I'm intending to use it as an OOC justification for how she regrows limbs for the volunteers who donate to her company. (I've had her doing that in the background before, but never in an actual topic.) The retroactive use bit is very important in relation to Cell Reclamation - I want it to help her harmlessly harvest grafts, but absolutely do not want it to be an easy fix for injuries.

I included in the description that this was designed by Life Eternal - that's Tanya's company. I'd prefer to leave that in as the default (obviously people could change that as a custom alteration), but if you're uncomfortable including personal canon in shop items, it's not a big deal.

Please define what 'latent, non-magical ability' is in this context. I know what I think of it (for instance, the latent haste effect of Raging Berserker, or the like.)

Basically, any non-magical buff that is always-on.

I would be fine with this, but I would only be fine with it if it had a caveat that the owner cannot have any pre-loaded bottles at the start of a topic. Elsewise, this could be used to give people draconic might with zero cost, or haste, or bull's strength, or gods alone know what else.

The subject loses access to that ability, but anyone who drinks from the bottle is able to use it. They must drink the potion in its entirety to gain the benefits. It expires twelve hours after being made, causing the ability to revert back to the original owner. It cannot be prepared before a topic begins.

Changes marked in red. I added the recommended caveat, as well as an expiry date to the potions and a rule to prevent sharing.
