Astrological Signs
A character’s Astrological Sign determines what time of the year the character was born and provides an optional guide to common Ideals, Personality Traits, and Relationship Types that those born under that sign share. This is meant to help be a guide for players on how their characters may act especially for new players or for those who are uncertain about how they may interact with or treat others. Since it is only a guide, the player may only choose some of the listed traits or none at all. However, the Verse Master may make this mandatory for story purpose or may have a method for players either choosing or rolling for traits for their characters. This is only meant to provide more options for play styles and for character creation.
Additionally, the Verse Master may optionally provide a chance for the Character to gain a Bloodline of the affinity associated with the chosen Sign. Characters born under each sign also gain a Mana Color in which all spells they cast gain the color of regardless of the affinity. For example, those born under the Sign of Water have all spells cast be blue and the magic aura of all of their spells are also blue, even if the spells are fire or earth affinities.

Mana Color: Blue
Ideals: Individuals born under the Sign of Water value the Deep & profound above all else. They are always trying to find the deeper, hidden meaning behind things whether that is found in works of art, ancient texts, or even the actions of others. Because of this, they are extremely Creative and are constantly making works of art in some fashion, either through visual arts, written arts, or musical arts. It is how the express their emotions in meaningful ways. However, they are also very Indecisive in where they are going or what they want in life as the meaning of life seems to always be shifting for them. They often keep to themselves and, because they are fascinated with the past and ancient ways, they tend to hold Conservative beliefs as they respect and even admire the traditions of old. In fact, they can be so conservative that they often practice ancient religions that few to none believe anymore and enjoy learning to read and speak dead languages, but only for personal reasons or as a hobby.
Personality Traits: Those born of the Sign of Water are very Flexible individuals who tend to simply go with the flow. Because of this, they are not very concerned about the future or where they are going, giving them a Relaxed demeanor as if little bothers or effects them. Since they go where destiny seems to guide them (or their party), they are Patient and are able to appreciate every moment they are in especially since they find meaning in everything around them. However, these traits can have a negative influence of making them Slow to React as they are too relaxed or indecisive about situations even if they shouldn’t be. This can also be good though as they always have time to consider the scenario they are in and make thought out decisions. And once a decision is made, they are always Persistent in achieving their goal and leave no task or hobby incomplete and always follow through. When it comes to others they are often described as Giving especially when it comes to assisting those in need or giving gifts to those close to them, and the gifts tend to be exotic and unique and probably created by them personally such as a knitted shirt, a drawing, or their favorite food cooked by them.
Relationships: When it comes to the relationships of those under the Sign of Water, they are considered very Nurturing to those around them, but also to those they do not know. They are also very Fluid, both in their friendships and romantic relationships, but also when it comes to conflict. They are extremely Sympathetic and try to see the point of views of others and to understand how they are feeling, and also why they are feeling this way. This makes them amazing Listeners that others find easy to vent to and to approach, but it also makes them always want to find a Middle Ground in conflict and resolve issues by coming together instead of clashing, especially since their indecisive nature makes it very difficult for them to take a side. As they want others to come together, they are very Communal, care about everyone, wants everybody to get along, and they can be quite persistent on this.

Personality Traits: Those born under the Sign of Air are free-spirited individuals who many find to be Uncontrollable and at times a little too Carefree. Because of their adventurous spirits, they are extremely Outgoing, never shying away from new things and from new people, and therefore are always open for exploring never before seen lands. However, this free spirit also makes them vulnerable to being Gullible and easily swayed by the notion of what’s new or never seen before, meaning they may fall for scams more easily or take on contracts that are suspicious if it means they can go somewhere new. They can also tend to be seen as Ditsy as they are always fantasizing about the next adventure they will go on, but when they get to talking, others find them to be Boisterous about their past experiences.
Relationships: For those born under the Sign of Air, relationships are meant to be Open, which although often is a good thing, can equally be a bad thing. Because they are Talkers, they tend to share more than they should about themselves and even about their plans, whether they were asked or not. Because of their equally boisterous and talkative natures, they are also very big Gossipers and like to tell everyone everything, even if it is not theirs to tell. They do not necessarily plan on gossiping, but because of their Whimsical attitudes, they end up accidentally sharing information without putting thought behind it. When it comes to romantic personal relationships, they come and go just like the wind and are rarely held down by one person or place, especially with their desire for freedom and adventuring coupled with their whimsical ways. However, because of their extroverted desires, those who are not close to them will often describe them as Pranksters who are always telling tall-tales and always trying to get those around them to like them.

Mana Color: Purple
Ideals: Individuals born under the Sign of Psychic value Logic above all else. They believe that emotions are trivial, and beliefs, decisions, and actions should only be performed or believed once thought out and considered using logic. Intelligence is extremely important to them, and learning for the sake of knowledge is a necessity to better themselves and the world, and they believe that knowledge is true power. They also despise sporadic and spontaneous behavior as they desire Order in their lives, just as they believe exists in the universe. Everything has its place and all of their plans are thought out in extreme detail. They are Introverts but only because they have a hard time relating to others, and often live alone or only with immediate family or a spouse. They prefer studying and reading books, but will go out adventuring if it means they can learn new things that cannot be found in books.

This makes them very Precise in every action they do, every word they say, and every item they possess, as nothing they own is without utility or value. However, they are also very Candid, as they believe the truth should never be with held, even if it is harmful, as the goal should always be to learn, grow, and better yourself. This means they will always correct someone who misspeaks, is misinformed, or ignorant on a matter. This gives others the impression that they are Arrogant, and although many may be, as they view their intellect superior (whether it actually is or not), most are not and simply value logic, truth, and knowledge above social norms and ignorance.
Relationships: Many of those born under the Sign of Psychic are Shy when it comes to meeting new people and making friends. They almost never initiate conversation, unless it is on a topic they know or to correct someone who is wrong and prefer to keep to themselves, but once they get to talking about something they are knowledgeable about, they cannot be stopped. They keep a Small Circle of friends around them, for although they are often secluded and alone, they do not necessarily want to be alone, and in fact prefer to be with others when leaving their home. Many are Strict in their ways, making anyone who does not fit their ideals unwelcoming to them and often give the impression of being a Know It All, and truthfully they tend to be in their relationships.

Sign of Null
Birth Season: Late Autumn approaching Winter
Mana Color: Black
Ideals: Individuals born under the Sign of Null value Obscurity above all else. They do not want their names to be known or even their faces if they can help it. If they can, they prefer to work from home and tend to keep to themselves. However, they also desire to achieve a Mythical status. They want their actions to be known, while remaining entirely anonymous. They believe causes and ideals have more meaning than those behind them. This makes their beliefs and opinions more Progressive than most, reaching a point of radical and extreme that even other liberal minds find too progressive. Some lean towards anarchy, while others simply believe in change for the better, but both tend to do so from the shadows. They are Introverts, preferring to be alone, not only at home, but also in public. They want to work alone, be alone, and remain alone, and often find relationships pointless or even hindrances, but will work with others if it is mutually beneficial.
Personality Traits: Those born under the Sign of Null are typically Quiet and keep to themselves. They find conversations taxing, especially when talkative people ramble on, and prefer to get to the point with no flavor text or useless filler words. This also makes them very Secretive, as they keep to themselves and never reveal their true intentions or plans to others. What they do remains behind closed doors, but this also makes them very reliable people to keep top secret information from leaking or for others to tell their personal problems to, as they know it will not spread. Because of this others often view them as Mysterious, which can be off putting to some, while making others curious. The air around them has a sense of mystery and those who try to pry always fail. Since they are often quiet, they tend to be Brooding, which can be good and bad for themselves and those around them. They often dwell on the past and hurt themselves by imaging false scenarios. This often makes them Anxious, especially around new people or when in new places, or at least when outside of their comfort zone. Others often describe them as Weird, as they hold atypical beliefs, wear clothing styles that is odd for the culture they belong in, have strange quirks, and radically progressive ideals.
Relationships: The most common theme between all those born under the Sign of Null is that of being Antisocial in their relationships. Their circle of friends and associates is extremely small, to the point of sometimes only including a spouse or a best friend. Most are just antisocial because they are content being alone, not because they do not want friends (they just do not need them). Being Picky about who and what is in their life does not help this either, but also protects them from having manipulative or abusive people in their lives. They can be Timid, especially when around new people or when outside of their places of comfort, which also makes them Submissive. In social groups, they keep to themselves or follow along in the shadows behind those they know. The brighter others shine in a room, the more they retreat to the back. Their submissiveness is out of social necessity, however, and not because they cannot stand up for themselves. This is especially true when they are in their comfort zone.

Sign of Qi

They are Rebels through and through, and deny any system that would attempt to control them or tell them what to do. At the core, many believe in Anarchy, and would do almost anything to achieve it. In many societies, they are labeled rebels or even terrorists and pirates.
Personality Traits: Those born under the Sign of Null are entirely Chaotic, both in their work and at home. They rarely keep schedules, as they prefer doing things on their time. Because they are Erratic, they may or may not accomplish what they set out to do, and instead play everything by ear. This makes them entirely Careless in their actions and with how they deal with others. Many of their plans and intentions are Dubious, making others unwilling to go along with their ideas or listen to them. They are Irresponsible and disorderly, therefore others do not rely or depend on them. Their Non-conformative attitudes make them difficult to get along with and even more difficult to control.
Relationships: Others often view those born under the Sign of Null as Tricksters, as they are constantly causing problems or stirring the pot just because they can, while at the same time pulling pranks and tricks on others. This makes it difficult for others to trust them and although it is amusing at first, they often become Grating to others. Much of their humor and style is Self Deprecating, which only adds to other’s grating view of them. Their own actions are also self deprecating, as their tricks and behaviors often backfire on them and they end up burning bridges and shooting themselves in the foot, sometimes even intentionally. However, much of their social interactions are a facade, as they are very Manipulative. Many of these individuals have a greater plan or vision that others are unaware of, and their trickster persona is used as a deflection from their chaotic actions. People often underestimate them and view them as too chaotic, too irresponsible to actually be able to have a goal or plan. This Deceptive persona is too convincing and most people fall for it, especially those already prone to being gullible or too trusting. Those born under the Sign of Null are often dangerous and make perfect insurgents, capable of playing a theatrical role until their true intentions and plans become revealed.

Sign of Cold
Birth Season: Mid Winter
Mana Color: White
Ideals: Individuals born under the Sign of Cold value Independence above all else. They believe not only in their own personal independence, but also the independence of society and those around them. Even when it comes to others, they believe they should be completely self sufficient, and not need depend on anyone else to achieve their goals or be who they are. They will not change who they are for others either and remain true to themselves. This means they also value Prudence, are very cautious of others and their intentions, as well as in what they plan on doing with their lives. They must remain true to themselves at all times. However, they are also Inconspicuous and desire to be unnoticed and unseen, including their actions. They desire to be on their own or with only those they choose and to avoid attention at all costs. In social settings, they often are not present or if present, do as little as they can to draw attention to themselves. They are extreme Introverts, to the point of being as alone and unnoticed as possible.
Personality Traits: Those born under the Sign of Cold are often Cold-Hearted and care little for others or their feelings. This makes them very Rude and often unpleasant to many as they do not enjoy the company of others, especially in their private homes. Most are extremely Reserved in their actions and in social settings, which although is bad for those who care for them, can also be good to avoid getting into trouble or being in places they should not. This is because they are very Cautious, and therefore are careful about who is in their lives and where they go. Their Methodical thinking and planning helps them ensure that their plans go exactly as they intend, but they do not do well under pressure and make crack if things do not go their way. They are quite Fractious, which makes them easily irritable around others, but also difficult to control and therefore unwilling to submit to anyone who would try to take away their independence.
Relationships: Many born of the Sign of Cold are very Apathetic when it comes to the feelings, needs, and desires of other people. Some are so apathetic and dislike others so much that they become misanthropes. They are Loners first and foremost, but will work with others and even take positions of power, although begrudgingly, but they only do so if they truly believe in the cause and they believe it will bring more independence to the world. Most are very Distant, both with their emotions and physically as they prefer to not have to see others. Becoming close to such a person is very difficult and requires a lot of trust on their end. Finding out what they are feeling or thinking is even harder. The more “social” of those born under the Sign of Cold tend covertly work against systems they despise.

They are Unabashed about who they are and will not shy away from their unique styles and beliefs. Their Individuality is central and vital to them, as is the individuality of others and they do not understand those who prefer to be “normal”. This makes them very Idealistic, to an extreme sense, believing in fantastical tales and unbelievable scenarios.
Personality Traits: Those born under the Sign of Ethereal are very Eccentric in their personality and opinions. Many people view them Strange, especially when it comes to their clothing styles, opinions, and beliefs. Most wear clothing that is mismatched and will dye their hair colors that may not be socially acceptable or wear makeup that is bright and odd to others. They also like to make and wear jewelry or trinkets that are abnormal, perhaps made from nontraditional materials or with abstract designs. Society sees them as the Misfits who are reckless for no apparent reason. This is because they are Quirky and unapologetically so. However, many can also seem Aloof about those around them, or even about social norms and are not implicitly trying to be rebellious, but are simply being themselves. They can also be Naive and not understand why others may view them as odd or do not like them.
Relationships: Many of those born under the Sign of Ethereal are Lonely, but not by choice. Their natural social habits and styles often fall outside of what society considers normal, or even appropriate, which has the downfall of them being unable to easily find like-minded individuals. This makes them the Outcasts of many places they live, therefore many of their interactions are Awkward. Because of this, most of their relationships are Ephemeral, but they also view social norms and trends as ephemeral, and therefore do not try to fit in or even attempt to keep up with what is “in” and what isn’t. However, those who are their friends and those who they do care for experience Intense relationships since they tend to be clingy and do not want to let those relationships go. This also makes them want to please their friends, because they have so few, sometimes even to fault, making them easily walked over by those they care for.
