Max'ji
[Mahj-ee]
Saturation: 3
These Awakened are those that most closely resemble the ancestors (the First Ones). They begin life looking as the First Ones appeared, with the exception that each is born with some form of witch’s mark upon their body. It can range from incredibly obvious to something so innocuous that it could possibly be overlooked. It is when they begin to gain Saturation that their differences begin to manifest to the onlooker. With each regen the body begins to degrade and a slew of manifestations may occur. From premature aging, to the silvering of part or all of the hair, to skin cracking open, melting, or charring, glowing spots beneath the flesh, or even sigils or veins appearing on the skin. Sometimes they worsen with Saturation, sometimes multiple combinations occur. This is why many powerful wizards were once depicted as aged or haggard.

​
Aether Aptitude: choose an aether dominion, all gramaryes in that dominion cost 1xp less to purchase. This can cancel a realm inefficiency.
​
Bonus Cast: start play with 3 extra gramaryes
​
Free Hand: you do not require a foci to cast gramaryes through
Feeble: you are a particularly delicate individual. Begin with 3 less health in whatever Trade you choose.
​
Maladroit: whether you were someone who spent their focus on your studies more than socializing, a person who lived alone and didn't get out much, one who developed from a unique foreign cultural background, or another reason all together, you don't fit well into the local culture. Added to that, many people are nervous about the rumor that some Max'ji do areal damage when they gain their final saturation, when the gathered aether they wield is let loose and explodes out of them. Others feel uneasy around you and this makes social interactions ...difficult. Down a shining star in all social challenges.
​
Putrescent: something afoul occurs when you regen. When recoalescing you return with decomposition, which worsens with saturation. For some it forms from the damage which caused the regen, for others it begins as it would for a body beginning to spoil, and in some cases it forms in patches or localized areas.​
