Alchemy is fantastic fun if you know what you're doing xD

Making the sheet now. Always tricky, these things. Stay tuned!

I'm actually a fan of alchemy myself xD so i was quite amused when i saw someone else thinking along similar lines. Looking forward to seeing what you work up, Hamster!

I bet you are.

Right, now before I release this, I'm going to state the following: if we have 6 pages of people arguing about character sheets I will verbally abuse you all, then go outside and step on a hedgehog in front of its children. Open to feed back, and criticism, but please keep it helpful :) Consider this the alpha.

Character Sheet

Basics

Full Name:

Age:

Gender:

Race:

Appearance

Physical Description:

Clothing:

Armour:

Other: (Anything you feel is not covered by the above)

Background

Faction: (Volunteer/Sailor. This will be relevant as the RP progresses)

What do the others on the expedition know of your character after six months of being cooped up on a boat?

Moral Alignment

Selflessness: (On a scale of 1 to 10, how prepared would your character be to launch themselves into a dragon’s jaws if it meant saving a stranger? 1 = FUCK THAT, 10 = FUCK YEAH)

Snobbery: (On a scale of 1 to 10, how much does your character dislike people below their station? 1 = Filthy peasants! DON’T TOUCH ME! 10 = I love everyone, no matter how bad they smell.)

Racist Tendencies: (Does your character harbour any negative judgements against other races, regardless of what lies below the surface? List them here. Fucking Elves and their pointy eared arrogance, you know what we should do? Just sail them off to an island and blow it up.)

Piety: (On a scale of 1 to 10, does your character worship a God and follow their earthly tenements? 1 = Lol no, 10 = I live under a pedestal, and hurt myself if I have impure thoughts... and sometimes kill children for disrespecting the powers that be but shhhh.)

Justice: (On a scale of 1 to 10, If someone wrongs them, would your character take things into their own hands? Or would they seek help from the established authority? 1 = BITCH THEY DED, 10 = The system is all that keeps us from descending into a mindless anarchy.)

Sexist Tendencies: (On a scale of 1 to 10, does your character look down on the opposite sex? 1 = They’re idiots and they need protecting to the point of imprisonment, 10 = We are all equal.

Combat

Main Skills: (What your character relies on to fight with i.e swordsmanship, elemental magic, archery)

Secondary Skills: (If your sword snaps, or you exhaust your magical reserves, what’s your back up plan?)

Primary Weapon: (The weapon your hands are first to grasp in a crisis)

Secondary Weapon: (If your long sword is stuck in someone elses’ chest, what do you draw next? Maybe there’s a longbow strewn across your back?)

Hidden/Stored Weapons: (Every good rogue keeps a blade in their boot; every good warrior keeps a knuckle duster in his/her shin guard.)

Passive/Suppport

Main Skills: (When your characters aren’t setting someone on fire, what else can they do? Are they versed in the healing arts? Keen linguists? Trappers? Knowledgeable survivalists? Trackers?)

Secondary Skills: (What’s your character’s lesser developed, but nonetheless handy skills?)

Items of Note: (Anything your character carries to help them out with the above. Healing herbs? Dictionaries? Trap making supplies? A fishing rod!?)

Anti-Godmod 3000

Achlies’ Heel: (What is your character afraid of? What do they have trouble coping with? Do they carry a psychological or physical impairment that might impede them in a crisis?)

I'm assuming we wait to build our characters until the final version of the character sheet?
The character sheet is well done, by the way. I have no qualms with it.

I FUCKING TOLD- oh, oh okay, thanks :)

Um, well I don't think it'll change much. I need to come back and look at it tomorrow, because I often find that after writing something, it becomes hard to judge it right away. I need to semi-forget I wrote it, look it at it with fresh eyes, and then realise there's no 'i' in Full Name or something stupid.

Let's see what the others say.

After my initial skim I would say that everything seems sub par and horri-

It looks good to me xD we seem to have a lot of people lacking qualms and tentatively peeking through the door!

There isn't an i in Full Name?
:O

Indifferent to the sheet. I usually put most of the info required in mine anyway. A bit itchy about the numbers or a 'personality' field in general as characters should change over time, but what the hell i'll just update the sheet when that happens :P

You want us to type up our character description, or is it ok to find pictures off the internet to use?

The racism, piety, snobbery and sexism thingS are there because our guys/gals are adults, having lived for a couple of decades or more. They would hold beliefs that they'd of picked up during that time, and would have them at the start of the RP. Your sheets are never set in stone, they're a starting off point. Blah blah blah blah. :)

Good question. How do you all feel about pictures used in description instead of text? I find it's usually chalk and cheese with people, so now's the good time to get a consensus.

I generally use both if the option is available. Pictures for a general appearance and description to add on; stuff like height, scars, tattoos, etc.

I agree with Zombehs.

Thirded. Also proto-filled the proto-sheet, didn't find anything wrong with it. :P

For once I have nothing more to say than 'I agree with the plebs-- I mean, other chums' xD I am fond of pictures but don't want my preference to sway things too terribly much.

PhoenixWhite said [I] don't want my preference to sway things too terribly much.

Welcome to the club of being terribly passive. Eventually, when you're really good at this, people will start getting angry with you for not offering your opinion despite it likely to not matter in the end anyways~

While I was quiet for a few days, I'm still alive and well for the most part. Things seem to be progressing smoothly so I'll see what I can do with that sheet~

Then by the power of RP democracy, I declare the appearance related topics picture friendly.

I almost forgot this was just the -interest check- for a moment there with all the updating and progress we've been making with this snarky comments and offhand helpful moments XD

We're getting there.

"Style of Play" section is up, basically covering post lengths, writing quality, profanity, scenarios and sexual stuff.

I guess the rules will be next, then I need to add another character to the Notable NPCs list.

The Lore section will probably be a lively animal, expanding as the RP progresses and new things are touched upon. So for now it'll stay as it is unless I think of more things to add, which will probably happen.

-finishes reading thread at last-

This is quite the RP you guys have D: room for more? ;-;
