Background

The ayr travelled to the realms from a distant universe, a realm governed by an ancient Immortal named Lodur, the one most likely to be their creator. They arrivied in Serin upon an unusually advanced ship that crash landed inside the jagar desert. These beings are comprised of two distinct races that have combined themselves into a higher lifeform. A luminescent wisp has merged with a machine-like exoskeleton to create something that is much more than just a machine. The ayr's exoskeleton is small in stature, being similar in size to a gnome, but built to be strong and very durable. Exclusively lawful good alignment, the mission of the ayr is simply to protect life, and it is a purpose they each undertake with quiet and dutiful solemnity.

Unlike the other races of Serin with endless potential to procreate, the destruction of the mothership has rendered the factory of the ayr incapable of any future creation. Thus, there is only a limited number of them. Once that is expended, the ayr may never walk the lands again, ceasing to exist entirely. The ayr are very much an endangered species.

For your ayr, it is advised to ensure that your ayr's description has visible gears and rounded edges and plating that portray a sense of being hand-crafted. Rather than just looking like a soulless mass-produced robot, try to invoke a sense of wonder, such as a pressurized armor that may be suited for diving to the depths of the deepest oceans.

Note well that any loss of any ayr is permanent - they get one life, no resurrections, and each lost ayr will reduce the remaining number of ayr that may be played. So for example, if there are 100 ayr available to play, that means that when a player creates one, there are now only 99 to play. Then that player has only one "life" as well. This is a harsh reality that you must make sure you understand before you begin. There will be other players who relish your destruction and indeed wish to hasten the extinction of the ayr.

Roleplaying with other races

The ayr are fearless and without ego. They view their robotic form as an instrument that must be optimized to execute their mission. They are logical and polite, and their morality is based on an awareness that they were created for their purpose. The ayr are always thoughtful of their purpose for the protection of life, and empathy is a skill always grasped very strongly by their kind. Ayr epitomize lawful good.

Available classes for the ayr are: warrior, healer, paladin, psionicist

  • Ayr have several solid defensive abilities that greatly increase their survivability. Combine them together.
