I am probably just going to make a reptilian-ish race that siphons off magical energy from the air around them. That should be fine, right?

You'll need to give some more detailed description of what their power does, the limits of their power, and their appearance before I can okay that, but it's within the realm of possibility.

Would this character be alright, Obviously she isn't the strongest, but she isn't very practiced with her powers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Name:Riaka (Orphaned)
Race:High elf
.Age: 80
Height:6'3"
Title:Blood mage
Alighnment:Chaotic good.

Backstory: Having a alignment to blood magic is usually shunned, and as such Riaka was abandoned at birth. She was lucky enough to be found by human scouts unable to sense her powers. Once Raika returned a older priest would quickly sense the child's powers, and demand she be executed if no one were to keep her in check but being adopted by another member of the same clergy who had better trust that the magic wasn't evil the user was . through his teaching she was taught a more helpful use of blood magic, and a decent code of ethics. Despite this Raika was often shunned by others, making her believe that the ideas of society, and collective thought were just as bad as being evil. Eventually sick of the ostracism at her own home town, she'd set off trying to make her own name as a decent person, and a hero instead of a monster.

Possessions: nothing but her cloths, and her stave currently.


Special traits: Drain- She naturally drains blood from nearby sources, using it to heal wounds, and restore her own subconciously. This is increased if it was caused by one of her own spells, or she touches the blood.
Spells:

Blood spike style 1:Blood spikes shoots small needles of blood from her hand to attack someone.

Transfusion style 1: Uses some of her own blood(which she usually has a excess of to heal a wound, and you know give a little extra blood.

Fever type 1: Uses blood to make someone stronger, sharper, and quicker. This effect only last a couple minutes, and can be incredibly effective. It may start using some of the targets blood pretty heavily if they let the fever control them. (It just feels really good for anyone who has it.)

OOC is up, feel free to use this thread more if you like for test posting characters.

Though they became very apparent later in life. Raika was pretty obviously shunned, but being adopted by the clergy she believed she had a higher calling still. She made it her goal to use her less then humane powers to protect those around her threw whatever means necessary. She has recently left the clergy to aid people in need, despite her lack of non destructive magic she seems to find ways. Possessions: nothing but her cloths, and her stave currently.

The personality progression of the character doesn't make sense, honestly- "ORPHANED! SHUNNED! SHUNNED AGAIN! Adopted by priests who mysteriously can't pick up on her abilities! Time to go and help people!" Just... not really getting the logic behind that. If she was going to believe in signs of having a purpose, I would picture that she'd look at the powers she was born to wield over the priests who are apparently so inept that for all their mysticism can't pick up on the abilities of a child.

She was adopted by a clergy..... hence she has better morals then the average person.

IT was supposed to be found by a human scout, not adopted...... That's where a lot of poor wording in the original sorry, Rewrote it.

Still to me feels like random things kinda thrown together, and I can't really see the progression making any sense.

I dunno, I wouldn't be the only one playing alongside the character. Other people in the thread, what are your opinions?

Rewrote it some.BTW.

The term chaotic may actually be a big problem here.

A lot of people use it stupidly, and it comes down to some no meaning alignment

A true chaotic character is prone to being spontaneous, not following authority well, and openly murders based on there morality ect....

She has a strong addiction to combat, and open wounds. Meaning healing/combat is almost addictive to her.

Being helpful is not always lols i heal you. Being helpful to her is being a mercenary/slayer(beast).

Hi! I'm incredibly new here, but I'm really interested in this RP. I might just end up lurking and reading as you guys go along since I don't think I'd be able to write anything coherent enough to keep up. Unless of course, you'd be relatively forgiving if I go with simple characteristics. I'm not too familiar with the specifics of other races so I'd probably be human. Similarly, I don't know much about combat styles or weaponry so I'd succumb to my natural tendency toward magic types. If anything at all. Would it be completely unproductive to have a completely useless character just along for the ride? Blank slate. I suppose considering the setting it would be highly unlikely to find a person who is not capable of defending themselves.

I'll keep reading around more.

Better I suppose. I'll allow it, but please try to keep an eye on your spelling- you misspelled the character's name at least once, and some of the sentences are fairly awkwardly worded. Just... keep an eye on it, if it gets too distracting I'll try to help you with it.

I like magic, the more scientific it is (by that I mean how classified and systematic the explanations for how it works are) the better! If you'd like help coming up with a character idea that will fit, I'd be happy to help, and from that small sample your writing seems decent. If you're interested in playing some sort of spellcaster as you say, then you're welcome to join!

(Re-posting as I don't think this was seen before)
Magical Capabilities: Ability to influence small bits of nature, as in make seeds grow. She specializes in botany. She can identify most plants and their affects on living creatures.
She can fly.

Weaponry: She knows how to use a sword and has a bow and arrows.

I promise she's not overpowered. Has a few useful tricks and is really more curious than fearsome.

You posted this yesterday, I saw it then. OOC is up if you want to make the character, I'll give you feedback if I think anything needs to be dialed down.

>.> I did post it yesterday but you never mentioned it so I wasn't sure if you approved or not.
But okay
