- Once in a class, is there a chance to gather skills/abilities/specializations from other related classes or racially-preferred classes? Such as a Spec-Ops Soldier getting Black-Ops Operative skills (classes that are most related to each other) , or a Gnomish Medic getting Engineer abilities (Gnomes being predisposed to mechanics)?

- I have an alternate specialization in mind for Engineer, if you are inclined to hear me out.

- Is everyone going to start in the same guild, have been a part of said guild for some time or is there more leeway in how one enters the story?

Alright, well first off, there are still slots open.

To your first question, there will be opportunities down the line to gain extra specializations but those are to be few and far between (each specialization is about a 3 month training course).

If you have a specialization send it to me in a PM and I'll go over it and will get back to you about it quickly.

Your third question. Everyone is part of the same guild and may have worked with them before but are just now being adopted as full members (better pay and benefits than being contractors or help).

Rough idea of when this will start?

look for something Friday (so about a day and half to two). I have a lot of school stuff due tomorrow so dun have the time or mind set to tackle it.

Name: Milori (Me-Lo-Ree) Da'Alvan
Nickname: Millie (Me-Lee) or Kitty (for the very close friends and family)

Age: 140 (Not sure on your elf years, but in human years, 25)

Class:
- Primary: Tinkerer(Custom, DM approved)
"The ability to create field items and modifications from assorted materials at hand, in a timely fashion."
- Secondary: Vehicle


Appearance:
On the short side for an elf, Milori stands only at 5 feet and a half, with the weight of wet cardboard to match. She dresses herself in loose-fitting clothes, mainly unoriginal black coveralls, with a plain white tanktop underneath. She is actually quite pretty should she ever get out of the stained and tool-laden garment, having delicate facial features, pale complexion, almond-shaped green eyes, straight waist-length blonde hair tucked in a chignon, complete with messy locks poking out.

Of course, she seems completely unaware, or at the very least not paying attention to, her looks, often seen with grease or dirt stains on her face, due to the dirty factory gloves she always seems wears. Her ensemble is completed with sturdy workshop steel-toe black boots, negating her natural bouncy step with their weight. Her whole outfit bears small scorch marks, grease stains and the odd splash of multi-colored paint.

Should she don her red-tinted goggles and aviator-like leather cap, it would be hard to determine from a distance she was female at all, until she gave you a hug, then it is quite obvious she is a woman.


Personality:
Milori is, and always will be, a cheerful and energetic person. She likes to meet people, make friends, talking for hours on end and can liven up all but the dreariest places with her bubbly presence. People quickly learn she likes giving hugs, unless you happen to be on fire, and has a seemingly unconscious desire to give everything a cute nickname. Milori will not force others to use it, but will likely refer to others by it unless feeling it is REALLY out of place. She is easy to get along with really, mainly due to her understanding nature and general kindness. Despite all this, she is not naive by any stretch and will not trust others simply because they play along with her antics or appear nice, but sees no reason not to be nice and polite to others.

In contrast, she is serious and focused at work, feeling focused and calm when creating or repairing things. On the downside, she sometimes suffers from "Attention Deficit Oh Shiny!" moments, mainly when seeing something new or particularly impressive, and needs to be dragged, forcefully, away. She will get somewhat irked then and voice it loudly, many times, but will not hold it against the obstacle overly much or for too long. Although it does take some work making her angry, once conditions are met, woe to that person, and everyone's ears in a generous radius. As they say: "Hell hath no fury like Milori's scorn." or something...


History:
Hailing from a rather non-descript elven settlement, Milori was initially raised to learn the magical arts, as she had an affinity for it not unlike other children in the village. Unfortunately, Milori was not interested in vague mystical forces, the prospect of calling on nature and all that. She was always a physically-oriented person, swift, dextrous, nimble-fingered and had a natural liking for all the wondrous things the gnome merchants always brought along, despite all her parent's efforts. She had a font of creativity and a grasp of technical aspects that both perplexed her parents and amazed the gnomes.

After years of this knowledge tug-of-war, her parents finally decided they could not hold their daughter back from what she liked. They were understanding and really only wanted to make her happy, no matter what bizarre choices she may be doing. Her parents accepted that she apprentice with the industrious little people in the nearby community, who were delighted to spread their technical knowledge.

And so began Milori's tutoring in things usually left to the small people, crafting objects both mundane and intricate. She was always good making what she set out to do, sometimes with left field ideas that required creative construction methods. She often knew what to make to meet her needs but no formal idea on how to properly make it, so she would tinker something together that had the same use in the end, often making her teachers cringe at the odd-looking contraption. But the results were undeniable, they worked. She did make an effort to learn as much about the proper, or at least formal, ways to make certain items, but always had her own creativity to draw from.

In time, she traveled to various cities to sell her wares, find work with her skills or seek apprenticeship from some famed local mechanic. Milori met with a lot of people due to this, became a connected individual, because of the quality of her work and her personality, and kept getting better and better referrals. It eventually landed her in Arxie, where she started taking jobs left and right from contacts and "friend-of-a-friend". She naturally poked her head in the local job-finders guild and made good use of it's services, working hard to not tarnish the guild's and her own reputation. It has been some time now that she has not moved on, currently having more than enough work and friends in town to making dropping it all and leaving not a worthwhile endeavor. As of now, she has a lot of offers for her services still pending, Milori will have to sort those out

Notes on character history:

Also after the first IC post you have week to post or inform me oh how you're still interested but are otherwise occupied. If you do not, I will assume you have dropped and we will move on with our lives in an orderly fashion, sound good?

Sounds good boss ^^

No problems here.

IC AHOY! Happy posting!

Posts are looking good guys!

I see that the IC is up, and I was about to write up a post, when I realized that in two days' time, I'm going to be out of town for four days. So, posting now would just be kind of inconvenient. I am still definately interested, and will be posting as soon as I get back (unless, of course, I have internet access where I'm going, and I'm not horribly dead, in which case I'll post then.)
