WT APP UPDATE - Darien Zibethinus

• Darien is from a dimension where a number of sentient species coexist in large cities, towns and villages. Magic is a normal medium and plenty of beings utilize it. It’s a place where nature still trumps ingenuity, and mana-technology is rapidly advancing to combat the wilds and extreme seasons. Most of the planet is divided into territories by terrain or clans, with several chunks of unexplored areas called black zones.

• Black zones are highly dangerous, unexplored lands. Due to the various monsters living there, it's not uncommon for the terrain in black zones to shift into entirely new forms. Black zones are usually (but not always) surrounded by red zones, explored areas that are considered highly dangerous and not fit for any form of settlement due to the harsh lands and numerous monsters that infest it. Orange zones are marked in various shades to indicate danger levels and are traversed with caution. Yellow zones are considered habitable and easy to traverse if properly equipped and knowledgeable. Yellow zones will usually encompasses White zones, large settlements safe from most wild hazards, but may also speckle parts of the orange zones.

• Many parts of the world are still unknown, prime for explorers and adventurers seeking fame.
  

• Magic is relatively normal, though varied depending on the source. Even species without innate magic can tap into it through the use of plants, stones, ores and foods. It's very common for weapons to be made with magical enhancements.
  

• When season's shift in Darien's world, the transition period is very short. Seasons can change in a matter of hours and days. These transitions can be smooth or very harsh and dangerous. Some locations will experience certain seasons for longer and more strongly than others.

• Due to the chaotic magic of the world, its not uncommon for a blizzard to hit Summer at random, or for the Winter to become a massive flood.

• Gaia has very few major wars because it's environment and weather is so extreme. Most inhabitants are too busy trying to survive and fight through the planet's changes than fight with each other. Almost all instances of war are due to border changes after the planet shifts.
  

•  As a spirit he can disappear, become intangible and float around by a few feet off a surface
•  He's especially good at erasing/hiding his presence in jungles, forests, and trees.
  
•  Less susceptible to permanent physical damage since he's not really made of flesh
•  Rather than blood, he bleeds free floating gold energy.
• He can manipulate energy into attacks. (See LVL UP skills)
  

• Increase the growth rate of plants exponentially
  
• Uses a type of briar he calls 'Petals' as weapon. Able to form claws, barriers/shelters, be used as a whip, etc.
  
• His senses became especially heightened in forests, jungles, and areas with a dense populace of foliage.

General:

•  Has excellent dexterity and nimbleness. Strength is good while tangible, but nothing incredible.He will generally compensate by using his plants.
  
•  Skilled in stick fighting and using his fishing rod in combat.
•  Heals most 'flesh' wounds within a few hours, especially in sunlight. Ace fisherman

•  Can’t actually conjure magic or perform any kind of spell casting.
•  Can't touch anything in the physical plane while intangible.
•  Can be given flesh wounds if not intangible.
•  As a spirit he can be warded against, even trapped or banished, though it takes someone with legitimate skill to do so.
•  Is highly susceptible to psychic attacks and certain types of magic. Damage is manifested as wounds.
•  Weapons with magical properties can hurt him even while he's intangible. He still won't bleed out but you could cut off a limb or cause scarring. Wounds from these attacks take far longer to heal.
•  Can be attacked by other spirits, regardless of his intangibility.
•  If severely weakened (and not dead or dying) he will change into a more power conserving form.
  

Plants:

•  The more plants he has out in combat, the more his attention and energy is divided. At most, he can perform decently/well with three plants out. Any more and his skill takes enough of a dive to be problematic. It's less of a problem on home-turf, where the beast-plants can naturally grow and defend themselves. That said, he also has less control of the plants in those settings.
• Just because he's good with plants, doesn't mean he can automatically tame wild Plant-Beasts. He can pull them under his 'thrall', but it can be shaken off.
• Magical or very intense fire. His plants are naturally more durable (and not dried out), but with the right power they can still be burned away.
