These are my notes and ideas for anyone interested there are spoilers for laws/rules that come later in the story.
Everything you need to understand should be explained during the story but if anything makes no sense or isn't explained please tell me so I can rework it.
Main character:
Alexander
Gender Male
Height 178cm
Origin Switzerland
Age 25
Brought to the lands between by the Elden Ring to save it from the influence of the outer gods
Circles:
Do not affect the tarnished or torrent everyone else is affected
Torrent was the first being to keep memories through cycles
LVL:
level doesn't exist
he gains power by infusing certain parts of his body with runes. there is an upper limitation on how many runes can be imbued into a certain part until its saturated.
the parts for levelling the stats are as follows:
Vigor = Blood
Mind = Brainstem
Endurance = bones
Strength = muscles
Dexterity = joints
Intelligence = Brain
Faith = Heart
Arcane = Eyes
vigor:
vigor works as very fast healing that works as long as he has hp left after hp hits 0 he doesn't die but stops healing and can only try to win in the state he's currently in
damage gotten while still having hp still hurts and the pain stays even if the wound has already closed up it starts to subside about 20 minutes after the damage has been done.
this is how it's handled for everyone in the lands between
mind:
affects how much mana can be stored
endurance:
affects how strong the body is, as in how much of a beating it can take
strength:
make stronk ugabuga
Dexterity:
affects how fast one can think and improves control over body movement
intelligence:
doesn't make more intelligence but improves memory and concentration
faith:
improves resistance to mind-controlling and gives a friendly aura
doesn't have anything to do with gods or religion, more with character.
Arcane:
improves intuition and eyesight
Reviving:
everything that has normal runes in its body gets put back together by the Elden ring after a 24-hour period this doesn't work on remembrances.
Inventory:
There is no inventory per se but there is an item that works on the same principle as the evergaol the item is gotten by Melina
Runes:
remembrances are runes that are bound to exceptionally strong souls and thus require more to be rebound.
Runes are bound to the soul
A soul has a limit to how many runes can be bound.
Great runes cant be bound
when Bound, runes lose the imprint of their last owner
Mending rune of isolation:
is created with the wishes and dreams of the denizens of the lands between
Hides the lands between from the outer gods
Created by the tarnished
Creation method?
The Elden ring:
Is the combination of all runes
Is only acting on an instinctual basis and since cannot communicate
Is the lands between and all souls in it
The outer gods influence it to do their bidding since it has near to no will.
Resets after each cycle to stop an outer-god from getting complete control over it
the Elden ring is far stronger than any outer-god since it's a kind of primeval power.
by imbuing a part of them the outer gods could take control of it which is why the Elden ring resets the cycle every time this would happen it resets.
Outer-gods:
Fire god (giants flame)
Blood god (blood flame)
Greater will (golden order)
Pestilence (the fell curse)
Flame of frenzy
Prince of death (rune of death)
Diety of the night sky
Snake of blasphemy
Torrent:
Has slight intelligence
Is intrigued by the tarnished because of his appearance in a circle that never had him before and thus approaches him.
Elden ring magic:
Cannot affect souls since they are part of the Elden Ring
Is based on mana that is unable to affect runes which also protect the souls but works on all things physical
Runemagick is the art of summoning spirits through a catalyst that contains fragments of the runes and soul of the spirit to be summoned. The catalyst forces the spirits to be loyal.
The tarnished creates his own rune magic which allows him to summon spirits with their bodies and full memory intact. He also learns to combine runes of the same people that he collected in different cycles to give them the memory of a specific cycle.
Upgrading:
Upgrading works by infusing items with runes just like leveling there is just that controlling runes outside of the body is near impossible and that's why no one has ever tried it. the easier method is using very runerich materials to strengthen the runecount in items or spirit ashes that's what gloveworts and smithing stones are.
Second transfer reason:
The Elden Ring is content with the end of all outer god interference and sends the tarnished away to get rid of all traces of interference from outside which includes Torrent. The Elden ring is very thankful and gives the power of the cycle to the tarnished since it doesn't need it anymore.
The tarnished uses the power of the cycle to start a new life in a different world in hope of living a fulfilling life with the allies he made during his time in the lands between
Second world:
Overlord
