I suppose it is difficult for a necromancer to function in an environment like this. However, there are a few applications that don't necessitate the use of whole corpses.

Remember that everything is composed of the various Maians, where there are also requisite materials for certain spells to be cast. It's entirely possible to infuse Sakra and Karma into things like blood or bone dust, themselves integrated into rocks to symbolize a "body". It's one of those symbolic style magic things. As a matter of fact, as Necromancy doesn't directly deal with spirits, it's actually the practice of utilizing things that are attuned to carrying spirits, but have had the spirits vacate them. It isn't that you're slapping a spirit into a skeleton or a corpse, but you're injecting new energies into the vacant room left behind.

It's also entirely possible that a Magestrava skilled enough in Necromancy would be quite a capable healer and physician. Necromancy is a profession of life, death, and undeath, after all. They're the world's best at recycling decayed and dead material.

Though I do agree that it'd be interesting to summon coffins from the ground :P. I can see a very interesting twist on that if you know the history of a certain field that happened to host various battles, or some kind of massacre. Anyway, just giving some food for thought!

Thanks for being so cool lol. I wish I had a better grasp of necromancy in this roleplay. My only knowledge of necromancy comes from the part of it dealing with spirits and divination, not as much corpses and what not.

You're welcome. I just enjoy explaining things! This RP also happens to use a system of magic that I've found to be intuitive and very easy to understand, if only because I'm familiar with the materials that have inspired it.

Could you perchance tell me what inspired this wonderous roleplay??

No singular thing inspired this roleplay, nor did any one thing inspire the system of magic.

However, Type-Moon's Nasuverse does have quite a bit to do with Spellcraft and Magic, particularly Magecraft. I have a pretty long history with the universe as I've read the light novels, played the visual novels, watched the various anime and animated movies, and have been in a few roleplays involving it.

There is also a bit of Eastern mysticism involved, as well as classical alchemic sensibilities (Classical Elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Aether; etc).

The plot and setting appear to be entirely of HangedMan's imagination, though.

Wonderful. I hope my character could join yours in the roleplay. I'll check these out and then work on my CS. It will either be up by tonight or late tomorrow. School is a pain sometimes haha.

Take your time! Though not too much time. Not like I can talk, though, I was a whole seven days late on my character sheet, lol.

Foreshadowing! Perhaps a hook for your character to join into the RP, too, if the case takes your fancy. No details yet, though. I want to keep the actual contents to myself until I write up the post proper.More on topic with current events: Hanged, would you prefer Aoife stay inside the Hall of Healers? I intended for her to just leave him at the door so she could do some spell stretches outside.

Yeah, Aoife inside the Hall would be nice. Makes everyone meeting more likely :D

As for Mana-poisoning - yeah, let's just say that Miataea has a bad habit of experimenting, although the reason's behind which are vastly different when compared to Adam's xD

Very well, then. I'll get chopping on my post after Danny's next set of actions.

Yeah, my post'll be up tonight. I don't seem to have that much HW. Mah lawd, that's a bit of OOC chatter. I'll have to read it during my free, and catch up on the IC. Also gotta finish the book for school, "The Sun Also Rises"... which is complete and utter shite

-continues to roll around-

Boyfriend got me Portal 2 for my birthday. So, that doesn't help with my not posting... I'll try to find the inspiration to jump back in, I think I'm just getting caught up in all the... technical stuff as one such as myself does... all the time. I'm lucky to understand the savage worlds system... much less anything else.

Uta no prince-sama :O Heyyyy so I'm missing school today because I'm dying of a variety of illnesses. But I can at least get up a CS earlier <3

Meanwhile, I have a lunch date that I'm leaving for in an hour. I don't know how long I'll be out, today!

Ooooh date :P

Name: Sebastian Dragomir (Bastion)

Gender: Male

Age: Fifteen

Appearance:

Personality: Some would describe Sebastian as childish. He is constantly going out and seeking adventure, and usually abandons anything that bores him. Despite that, he can be very serious at times when needed. He's very absent-minded and finds himself drifting from one thought to another when he should probably be more focused on the tasks at hand. Due to his background in necromancy, he finds humans very fascinating but doesn't like to talk to people. He is somewhat naive when it comes to social norms and rules, often overstepping his bounds and not realizing he could be making others uncomfortable. He tends not to talk very much to most people and can appear somewhat cold on the outside but easily opens up after some socializing.

Abilities: Sebastian excels in alchemy, necromancy, and playing the violin. Often times, pouring over the countless books on the subjects in his uncle's library. He mostly likes to enchant certain items and objects to protect himself in the case of one of his spells failing. Even with his protective amulets and rings, Sebastian has pushed himself too far in trying to create a powerful item and ended up messing up some of his organs. His spleen no longer really works and he is prone to illness and often times finds himself coughing up blood.

Studying: Sebastian obviously studies necromancy and alchemy. Aside from that, he enjoys music and dabbles in Insorcery only because his uncle wants him to study more than just three classes. He's not very good but it keeps his uncle happy.

Interests: Humans, fantasy books, necromancy, alchemy, swords, small animals, and sweets.

Dislikes: Humans, judgement, dragons, vegetables, the smell of a corpse, and automancy.

Biography: Sebastian didn't know much of his parents. His only memories of them was the warm comfort and beautiful household he lived in. According to his uncle, they were getting into some pretty bad stuff. Breaking a multitude of laws and possibly committing murder.

For around seven years, Sebastian lived with his parents until a rogue group of magestrava broke into their household and killed both of his parents. Sebastian, by some sort of luck, managed to escape through the back door of their house. Before leaving though, he looked back and saw his mother's death. An automancer putting her to rest. He turned and looked at Sebastian, shouting something Sebastian couldn't remember. All of the men started after him, not wanting any witnesses. But as Sebastian ran for his life, he heard screams behind him. In the darkness, a large dark mass erupted from what was left of Sebastian's home. One by one, it tore through the magestrava, stomping them into the ground and swatting them aside. Large and strong arms grabbed Sebastian from behind. He let out a cry but was quickly hushed. It was his uncle, he had gotten wind of the attack but arrived much too late. Sebastian cowered in fear asking his uncle what that monster was. It turned out to be one of his uncle's monsters.

From then on, Sebastian began living with his uncle and studying necromancy under his wing. It turns out, necromancy ran in his blood. His grandparents were both very skilled necromancers. His parents both decided not to practice, but his uncle did. Sebastian caught on quick and was reanimating corpses in no time. By the time he was fourteen, he had already been attending the Academy for a while now. He had been planning on creating a sword of immense power for a long time. The night that he finally decided to do it, he gathered all of the items required, and sneaked into a graveyard. The moon was full and Sebastian could feel the power running through his veins. He was ready. He placed the sword on a makeshift pedestal and called upon all of the power he could muster. He could feel his body shutting down as he pushed himself too far, but he didn't stop. He kept going until the sword flew from the pedestal and landed in the grass. He instantly began coughing up blood. He had failed and damaged himself far more than he thought he ever could have. After that, he decided he would become as powerful as he possibly could. Enough to finally finish the sword and become the most powerful necromancer in the world.

Equipment: He has a bag of potions which he uses for combat due to the fact that his necromancy isn't very offensive. He also keeps his father's sword in his bedroom, waiting for the day he can finally enchant it.

Extra Information: The enchantment he was trying to place on his sword was very powerful. It was supposed to be infused with the powers of the dead. Increasing Sebastian's power just by wielding it. The other effect was that, if stabbed into the ground, the sword would create a field around it. If anyone were to be slayed in the field, it would bring their corpse back to life and place it under Sebastian's command.

I'm sorry this isn't my best CS. I haven't roleplayed in a while and I need to brush up on my skills.

Sometimes I peer into the free roleplay section to scare myself. I always regret it. *Shudders*

HANGED IS ON! I'M SORRY ABOUT HOW BAD MY CS IS BUT I STILL NEED TO GET BACK INTO THE GROOVE OF ROLEPLAYING!

Hey guys. I'm sorry, but I am going to withdraw from the RP. Luckily my character doesn't have any ties as of yet. With my ridiculous schedule I won't be giving the RP the attention I feel it deserves and I don't want to be the reason anything gets held up.

Hanged, do you mind if I message you once I have more free time to see if I can re-integrate the RP? This is really something I would like to be a part of. That being said, I understand if it's asking too much.

Thanks everyone and sorry again!

- Alex

Noooo D: ! Excidius!...

Well, you have to do what you feel is best. Still, it's really unfortnate to see you go like this. I was looking forward to our characters' interactions! Hmhm... Perhaps permission to use your character as an NPC?

Oh no! I found your character very interesting. But I know how life is haha. I'm sorry to see you go and I hope you can join again soon :)

(P.S. I messaged you Komamisa :P)

(P.P.S I hope this RP isn't dying. I just joined and Hanged has been on multiple times but he hasn't said anything to me.)

Aw, sorry to see you go, Excy, but you're welcome to return anytime, I'll have a spot waiting for you :)

Oh man sorry about that :O I just haven't been able to go on much, and my internet shut's down at random times, anyway, before I accept your character, I need to know exactly where he stands in caliber as a necromancer. He's a bit young to be proficient in the art. Remember, Necromancy is discouraged for novices, because there are a lot of things that could go wrong.
