Hello Fire!
Thanks for the reply! It sounds like most of the issues are a relatively easy fix! However, I wanted to explain a few things and see if that clarifies the issues beyond the skills. When I first spoke to Zarkaylia about the need for specific lore, she said that I could write it later. I feel like that's a part of the confusion regarding the weird allocation of interest towards her little Elunai. I should have clarified for review or added a bit more to it, apologies for that!
To give a quick rundown of their knowledge, the Elunai have forsaken mechanical research as per religious descision from the matriarchal council of the settlement. Mechanical progress is synonymous with attempting to become god's, considering it utilizes the work from fuel not able to be processed by the body, which is considered holy. Because of this, focus on the natural properties of the world are favored, resulting in a heavier focus and subsequent Fuller understanding of the natural portions of the biological, which is mainly alchemical for both industrious purposes and medical. When I say alchemical I mean it in the true ancient terminology as the medieval forerunner to chemistry. As in, alembics, mortar and pestle, nitre, salt of amun, oils, etc. The original usages that went beyond the scope of transmutation- especially considering only the true wackjobs actually tried to transmute anything. Since alchemy in this regard is not true chemistry it is naturally going to be flawed, which I do know and look forwards to RPing out. Their knowledge into this isn't particularly impressive, as most of what I've described was fairly common knowledge for even an apprentice alchemist. Their elunai did advance beyond that but hi sis knowledge that Niolasse will have to learn on her own.
Now, as for her hearing, I didn't mention any more of it just because I meant for it to be a staple for the future additions beyond that. It can be assumed that this sensitivity has persisted even up to the point of her arrival. As for the understanding on basic physics, I didn't mean she has an understanding of euclidean geometry as much as I had meant to state that she knows things go down and light gets brighter when shiny things are involved. I really added that to give insight into her personality and chosen foci for education and philosophy.
Either way I could have added in more information to her backstory regarding this.
As for the skills, I'll touch then up as soon as I can. Im hoping my explanation can give a bit of insight as to why I kept so rigidly to the actual skill structure for organizations sake. Either way expect a change!
Thanks!
