Exarches & Overview

Exarches are cohorts or apprentices to a character, and are loyal to a character's every whim. They are capable of using PP and providing PP to their masters. Exarches can wield artifacts, and are also capable of aiding a character during battle.

In essence, an Exarch is a personal bodyguard, but they are not limited to just protecting your character; they can also interact with other characters and even with the mortals themselves.

The Exarch
The mechanics of the Exarch is to provide PP and use your character's PP, as a secondary character in a way. An exarch can role-play alongside your character, and it can readily use PP effects upon your world when you are not present, but the exarch is. A character can use a maximum of 2PP provided by the exarch per week-- 1PP per post. The exarch cannot use its 2PP it provides to the character for itself.

An Exarch’s benefits, effects, and capabilities are only limited by your imagination, but it is best to run unprecedented and highly powerful effects by an admin before actually posting them. Furthermore, if a PP, generated and used by an exarch, is not used in a way consistant with how that exarch would function, then the admins may declare the action invalid. ( Example : When the exarch is travelling to Lacruse, it cannot readily nourish the Helphite race that exists on the planet)

An exarch can either become a combat-focused exarch or a PP-providing exarch. In other words, an exarch can only either attack using Attack and Aid actions specifically, or it can use keyword actions in general. An exarch that is focused on a keyword can focus on a maximum of three different keywords. For example, an exarch can provide Guide, Nourish, and Create actions. Keywords associated for exarches are:
 * If an exarch focuses on Attack actions specifically, it can use 3PP per week. It cannot use its attack actions to attack characters directly.
 * If an exarch focuses on three different keyword actions, it can use 4PP per week.
 * Aid (1PP)*
 * Ascend (2PP)
 * Attack (1-2 PP)*
 * Create (1-3 PP)
 * Defend (2PP)*
 * Guide (1-2 PP)
 * Mold (1-3 PP)
 * Nourish (1PP)
 * Shape (2-4 PP)
 * Spawn (1-3 PP)
 * = These actions are default for Combat Exarches

An exarch using the Ascend action can only create heroes. An exarch using the Create action to make a Plane can only create demi-planes.

Exarches carrying artifacts gain benefits just like characters.
