Personality: Nathaniel is Polite and welcoming, Something that is reflected in his habit of sharing his camp with anyone who happens to be passing with asking nothing in return. He enjoys the company of others and is highly accepting of others opinions and actions. He dislikes those who are violent for violence's sake and use force to oppress others, He thinks that everyone should have a chance at doing what they please. He loves talking to others and learning new things from them and about them. Often offering to share some of his own experiences in return for new information.

However this constant thirst for knowledge and open personality is balanced by a ice cold deliberation and a heart of iron. When roused to anger Nathaniel is capable of going to great lengths to destroy his foe, even going as so far as at one point working his way through a guild's ranks just to kick out one of the mid-ranking players parties and disbanding it. He Hates those who would see what he calls as "The Transfer" as a chance to take advantage of others and cause problems.

History: Nathaniel was a standard collage kid, doing sciences and computer technology at his Sixth Form, he never enjoyed the company of those around him, to focused on sports and bein the 'cool kid' for his liking, he focused on learning new things and mastering anything he could get his hands on, He loved NTO for how much it had to offer, Waking up in it was a bit disconserting but he was one of the first on his feet and set about re-aranging his own self to the new world, mastering his skills again learning how to use them in combat without having to go through the hotbar, He very rapidly became one of those at the forefront of the game, pushing all he could, Though when it came to the island he seemed to fade out, he refused to try and raid it, Preferring to ask the Dev's for more content outside of it and aggressively pursuing that, pushing everything but the island. Though when asked he simply shrugged and said it didn't matter to him either way.

Faction: Liberation Group.

Personality: Tyrael's a nice enough guy once you get to know him. He can be a little difficult to get really close to, but he's a good and loyal friend. He'd give his life for his friends, and assumes the same of them. He likes to crack jokes, and he doesn't have much of a filter when it comes to darker subject matters. Since coming to the world of NTO, Tyrael's been a lot more temperamental. It's managed to calm down a bit compared to when he first arrived here, but he's still quicker to anger than most.

Occasionally susceptible to fits of existentialism and depression, Tyrael's quick to bounce back if he gets a goal in mind. An enemy to fight, abilities to train, something with tangible effort and rewards. He's been focusing on keeping himself buy since the change the world underwent six months ago. An idle mind is his worst enemy right now, because he sometimes finds himself thinking back to his college, his girlfriend and his other friends.

History: Jacob was a pretty regular kid before the massive change six months ago. He was a freshman in college, had a girlfriend, hung out with people, and played on the weekends and after classes when he was free. He enjoyed his life, but he also enjoyed taking a break and watching his character grow. One day, though, instead of waking up in bed with his apartment with his girlfriend like he always did, he woke up in NTO.

And boy, was he angry. It took him the better part of a day for his rage to calm, and when it did, he collapsed. A few other players managed to get him back on his feet, and he couldn't help but cry. He'd had so much in his old life that he missed so much, just from being away for a few hours. He wished and he prayed that it would all come back. He searched and followed rumors about anything that might have to do with a way home.

It was about a week or two before he actually tried combat. He was hooked almost instantly. As Jacob, he wasn't the biggest guy, but he was pretty fit for a nineteen year-old college student. As Lord Tyrael, though, the difference was night and day. He could skirt around enemies like they were snails and cut them in half with a bolt of thunder or any of his numerous special magics. A few days ago, he decided to start all over again, and jumped into his work with a new-found fervor for it. Fighting, mining for ore, smithing, all of it was exhilarating. The feeling of the movements reverberating through his powerful body was like ecstasy. In due time, he'd accepted that the situation was what it was, but when he restarted, he vowed that it would be the only time. This was the real deal. From here on out, he was dedicating his existence here to reaching The Isle of Departure. Whether it lead to a way home or only greater challenges in a darker land, Lord Tyrael had to know.

Speaking of pre-history, is anyone interested in having some history as Hjalmar's drinking/low-level questing buddy?

Nationality

Race
Kitsune
Like many legends and myths, the Kitsune is a unique and rather rarely seen race within the word of NTO. Normally living within cold environments and temple like area's, the Kitsune are a strange bunch. They enjoy interacting with others and are generally very playful and prideful creatures, they also seem to be very protective of what is theirs and anyone special to them. They also tend to either travel alone or in small groups of up to six at one time, either for safety or simply companionship. Player's gain the ability to change into a true Kitsune, or fox as some call them. In this state the player is unable to attack or defend and is mainly used for travelling quickly, when in this state the player gains +100 to agility but - 100 to all other stats (apart from Vitality). The player is able to remain in this state for as long as need be and may change back at any time. Alongside this full transformation, a half transformation can be done. Allowing the user to have the ears and tail of a fox on their bodies, the color of which is decided by the player's hair color, this can also be turned off at the whim of the user. When playing as the Kitsune race, like other animals, the player gains enhanced senses, allowing them to see further and in the dark, as well as pick up on things other races may not notice. When playing as the Kitsune race, player's gain +10 Agility and +5 to Resistance. In every sub-class regarding entertainment/movement, Kitsune gain 50 points of mastery.

Level
80

Class
Base - Elemental Avenger
Specialization/Current - Blazing Avenger (Tier Three)
This class combines the best of both attack types—physical and magical, especially after incorporating powerful arcane art of the player's choice, this provides much better utility in combat, providing ranged combat, but with the added function of causing splash magic damage alongside with swordplay and hand to hand combat in a perfect unison.

Appearance
Standing at a tall 6'4'', Gin is known as a tall man for his age. Because he appears to physically be someone within his early twenties the fact that he is within his late twenties surprises many who find out. Thus for his age and also despite it, Gin is unusually thin and tall with very sharp features, giving him a somewhat skeletal appearance. Added to this fine silver hair that seems to resemble and even feel like fine silk, which many people either hate or are strangely drawn to. Nor is this helped by the narrowed eyes that remain in such a state constantly, giving no idea as to their color to any outsider, save for an odd flicker of crimson hidden underneath silver lashes. When compared to others in terms of general appearance, most say Gin appears to look similar to a fox or kitsune; due to the ever present smile he holds upon his expression; putting many around him from approaching him. Moving onwards Gin isn't overly toned for his age many would say just the right amount, but he's no wimp when comparing physical fitness either. Described by many as ‘tall but lanky’, he seems to fit this description very well. Arms toned from years upon years of working with a blade and martial arts, legs of the same type although adding more height than the rest of his body. The same toned structure also applies to his torso, although not bearing a full on six pack like many others around these days, he isn't anything to scoff at either. Yet all of this mostly remains hidden beneath various clothing materials. In terms of clothing, Gin remains to be a fairly ordinary individual, however, he has shown a slight dislike of tight and restrictive clothing, which he seems to avoid like the plague. It’s rare to see any kind of accessories on this male’s person. From this it seems that the elder doesn't have a style as such, preferring things to be quite plain and simple as much as possible. In terms of comparison to his real self, both Shin and Gin are almost exactly the same, save for a few minor details which are mainly effected by Shin's former day to day life.

Personality
Sly, mocking and secretive are a few words that many speak of when regarding this young man. As his real self, he seems to be slightly more withdrawn to those around him, this not being the case to all but a handful of people. Although he isn't a hermit and doesn't hide away, he won't go out of his way to talk to random strangers he meets, unless of course they prove to be interesting to him. Both within his real life and the life he has come to know, Gin is never the type of person to show his emotions. Yes, he displays emotion, but only the ones he wishes others to see, which is never very much. When with a crowd of people, he can be seen talking quite happily and never appears to lose the cheerful, mocking and sarcastic tone that carries through with each word spoken, despite making everyone else in the room uncomfortable he doesn't seem to care. It is this way of speaking that makes it almost impossible to discern his thoughts, nor does he allow his body language to give anything away either. It seems Gin also never care for other's opinions, either dismissing them or ignoring them entirely to simply carry on with what it was he was doing previously.

Life is a game, and games should be fun! To Gin everything is a new chance, a new opportunity to do something fun or unexpected in life. You only get one life so why not make the most of it? Gin possesses a fun-loving and sometimes childish personality, making others sometimes dispute his age and sanity as well, but if life's not fun to him, then it's not a life worth living. Like everything else about this young man, normal is not something this man is often described as, which is shown by his eccentric way of viewing the world and how things work, seeing many things and opportunities that would have otherwise never been found. Despite that Gin seems to have that rare gift of finding trouble wherever he goes, and that includes getting others into trouble be it good or bad. Gin is also a natural wanderer by nature, and thus must be allowed to come and go as he pleases. He'll almost always come back if it's somewhere important, if not, well good luck finding him anytime soon.

When alone this young man appears to enjoy reading or simply lounging around doing nothing. When with nothing else to do, Gin could be found doing one of four things, reading, sleeping, wandering or just generally causing mischief if he's in a playful mood. Whatever he does and wherever he goes, this young man remains calm no matter the situation and within his forced time so far in NTO, he has never lost his temper and doesn't plan to either, this makes things easy for him to rile others. With faked polite manner and overly cheerful way of talking, it's easy to annoy others while he remains perfectly calm, this seems to help when Gin wishes to tease others and has also come in very handy during battle as well. Most things this man does or has done recently has been done on impulse, on his feelings at the time, not that he doesn't think things through. He does, greatly, having been known to sit for most of the day just thinking or trying to work something important out. If nothing else, he seems to be very determined and when a goal is set, very few may even attempt to change his mind on the matter. Overall there is very little difference between Gin and Shin, save for a few minor details and that's how Gin plans to keep things; he hopes so anyhow.

History
Alone... so alone. Shin doesn't speak about his life prior to the age of seventeen, too many bad memories. A few are good, but many are ones he wishes to keep locked away forever, so he never speaks of his 'childhood', if you could call it that. Despite this, Shin's first experience with NTO was not what many would expect, not a hardcore gamer, not from lack of sheer boredom, although he had been getting pretty close. And even the add fact that he was a fully grown adult and had been for quite a while. But from a silly bet made with a friend, both he and this so called friend at the time entered the game, that was a year ago. Now after that one day inside the game, which to be quite frank Shin found quite boring, despite playing something not suited to his own play style and something he thought would have been at least slightly challenging. Not at all. The Japanese born male after that simply continued on with his life as per normal, although not selling the copy of the game, or anything to do with it, it left untouched for many many months. Until six months ago.

From sheer boredom and also a break in work allowed Shin to give this game a last try, little did he know it wouldn't be his last for quite a while. Making an entirely new character based now off his own self, he saw that with updates newer classes had been added. One a 'Elemental Avenger', interested that was what he chose. At the end of that day, Shin's perspective had changed slightly, and he had decided to play a second day. But what happened when he woke up the next morning, well.... it wasn't exactly normal, but he'd heard of weirder stories. Unlike many he didn't freak out, knowing it was most likely better to gain some levels before trying to work things out, and that was exactly what he did. Six months later he has still remained as a Solo Player, only knowing a few people and rarely speaking to anyone unless he had to recently. At the moment, as usual, it's unclear if Gin really wants to return home or remain in NTO. Only time will tell with that one.

Low-level questing buddiieeessss!!!

This can be a thing, though Hjalmar's level is in the mid 20s.

just a heads up im working on a few "Random events" atm, they can happen to anyone at any time.... so be ready ;) x

If anyone wants to have say previously met Gin feel free to PM me.

Also as a note to all if anyone wants to help me work out each tier skill individually PM me, as.... well I'm having a really hard time keeping things balanced and not OP and just generally skills overall. Sub-tiers aren't a problem as they are unique to each player, but tiers are soo. Little help? Plus I've never done something like this before.

my characters mastery gonna have to reach 800.
welp hes gonna get strong near the end of the roleplay :)

i like seeing everyones different character styles, like im gonna be less fighty and more bartering XD

Who wants to join Debauchery Tea Party? Note; You can't have a strong affiliation to Either of The major factions!

Wait, what's this about sub-tiers and perks now? So many overlapping systems to keep track of!

Wait, what's this about sub-tiers and perks now? So many overlapping systems to keep track of!

Basicly You have a class, Each class has 'sub teirs' IE sub classes, So 'mage' has multipul types of mages, and within each of those you have the teirs from 1 throuth to 6. and each teir gives you perks.

Alrighty, alrighty! Shiho-sama has come to clear (some) of your doubts!

Firstly, I think we'll stop calling the 'sub-tiers' that, and start calling them 'Specializations', to avoid confusion. A Specialization is a new evolution of your class, as in you started as a knight, reaching tier 3 gives you the option to become Option 1 and Option 2, both of those options specialize in different ways of fighting, one may be pure offense, while the other might be defense or one may focus on sabotaging enemies and the other on buffing allies. That's the basic of 'sub-tiers', now called Specializations!

And Perk points are the points with which you can obtain new abilities. You get one every 100 points of mastery as well as unlocking a tier. You can also get more perk points in events and from defeating different special monsters.

Also, some of you ain't reading the CS well enough! I said, tops for Class Mastery is 200, but since that's kinda stingy from me, I'll make the tops 300, but please, don't get further than that!

I hope that solved some of your doubts, if you still have some, please leave a comment here or PM me. Thankies!

you can use some of the character sheets already uploaded as a guide.

So is how I'm understanding it correct?

With each 100 points of mastery your class increases a tier, giving you access to better stats and new abilities, but you can only get one of these new abilities immediately because you only get one perk point. Since the max mastery is 600, you only get 6 perk points that way. To actually be able to use all of the abilities in a tier with multiple, you would have to participate in special events or hunts to get additional perk points to spend.

Right, so... I know they level separately but for comparison, roughly what Mastery level would a character have at levels 10, 25, 50 and 80? That would give us a good baseline to work with.

The mastery is leveled by doing tasks aswell so it can be different but as previously asked... "no mastery over 300"
