That is, I could work on my skills if I had time. I enjoy GMing. But there is increasing pressure from my parents to do something else other than go on the internet. I will still be on and might pop in for a sec or two, but I will not be able to establish a complete GM role because of the limited time I have. Also, in school I'm having problems with concentration and electronic self-restraint. You guys may have the same schedule as I do, but my parents really want me to work hard on academics and other, more 'worldly' hobbies.

This where I post my character bio? And I read a little back too see what was going down. Demons? That's an honest qoincidence. (I spell that right?)

COincidence. Yes, you post your character sheet here. I've edited the demon thing out, because Halloween is nigh and I don't want to invoke some evil spirit by writing about a worldwide demonic invasion.

Name: Leara Si'Loren

Race: High Elven

Race Description: the high elves are bred to be considered royalty among their own kind(even if they don't actually have royal blood). Higher senses, more agile reflexes, and over all better physical looks. Most of her race tend to favor more artistic or political professions.

Age: 112 ( human looks of an early 20 year old)
Gender:female.

Appearance:
Leara's most distinguishing characteristics are firstly her elvish beauty and then her green eyes which glow with an unnatural light. ( eyes are a side effect of making deals with demons)

Clothing/Armor: A mix of plate and chain mail custom designed for ease of movement. While unable to strictly be considered good protection the armor protects areas she tends to forget about in fights. Her gauntlets are tipped and sharpened to allow for use as a weapon in desperation or if the opportunity calls for it.

Weapons: A serrated short sword kept at her right hip. Often when used is enchanted with demonic taints to assist with demons. An old spell book is chained to her left hip. The pages appear tattered yet don't fall out or tear even when attempted to shake them loose. Sever tabs can be seen sticking out as if for quick referencing.

Skills/Abilities: well practiced hand to hand, excellent one handed sword, moderate two handed skill, and basic combat tactics. Several magical spells and summons she gains through her professional demon hunting.

Magic: Leara's book holds various casting spells and demonic 'contracts' as well as schematics for summoning circles and weapon taints.
Only two demons may ever be present at one time due to her own limitations. One 'major' demon (succubus, fel knight, ex. ) and one 'minor' ( non combat/passive assist).
While Leara has the ability to cast sever basic element spells these tend to draw more energy from her than her specialty spells which tend to be more evil in nature.
Her more readily casted/memorized spells are.
Death coil: A black bolt that causes an extreme sense of dread and weakness within its victim.
Fel flame: an unnatural green fireball that burns even in water. Impact spreads the flames like oil. While the flames are extremely hot only living organically are effected.
Soul snare: a channeled spell that calls for constant concentration. Causes the victim to loose some coordination and concentration while leaching a slight bit of life force. For demons the effect is nearly paralyzing after they have been weakened a fair amount.

Inventory: 15g and several wanted fliers. A small satchel of various ingredients and candles used for summoning rings. A small book holding instructions for repairing her armor and sword for blacksmiths who don't already know.

Backstory: Leara's family was slaughtered by a group of stray demons. A passing spell sword took her in and trained her the basics of swordplay and magic. They continued carrying out various contracts and bounties for nearly twenty years before the mans age caught up too him and he was forced to retire. Upon announcing his retirement she took up study in demonic magics until several years later when he passed on. Her studies then took her on the road as she began hunting demons in various places. After over fifty years of hunting demons she has come to Estermere after hearing whispers of an increase of activity in the area.

I am more than happy to edit upon gm request ( of course) sorry for the crap bio.

Uh, before posting in the IC you are supposed to have your character sheet approved by an admin (that is, IncredibleBee, Professor_Wyvern, and me, if I can help it.) However, your background is sufficient and I see no apparent errors in your CS so go ahead/

Bing
I'm not going to try and sway you either way, but personally I'd like you to keep going. I think you're doing fine as a gm, and you were considerate enough to warn us that you wouldn't be able to post as much.
If you are leaving, fortis fortuna adiuvat.
If you are staying, thanks

Wyvern
Um... where's my my missive? Where's Mortimer?

Necrotic
You've left a bit of a hole in your post. It doesn't look complete. What has grabbed her attention so much that she didn't notice the woman?

I'm in the same boat as everyone else on the matter.
But please, I'd like you to stay too. Why? This is your child. >> Watch it grow up to be awesome.
Apart from horrible analogies, I think you really have some good ideas, and it'd be wonderful to see you around, working on your GM skills at the same time as keeping our spirits up. I don't know about you, but I'm glad this isn't a very stagnant, or sterile, OOC. Where nobody talks out of character ever except for leaving to do something. And even when they do, it sounds like a business contract.

...I'm in no position of power, but something bugs me about Leara's CS. Something I cannot place. I think Wyvern can run through it and (do what he does best:) pick out potential holes that, when filled, make your character much more whole.
I for one want more detail about her bio! 112 is a long time to be livin'!
Though I'm...just a little hypocritical myself, in saying that...err. Mine isn't too great either, and my character is well over 90.
...what a shame. Anyway! Yeah! Wyvern, where's Mortimer!
Don't tell me you killed him off too in some freak accident!
Feig, back me up on this, you don't want Mortimer dead think of the charges on Liesel. << AGAIN. TO THE CLERGY WITH YOU.

...also, Rowan needs to tell me where my lover is or I'll send Corinne on a horrible evil monster rampage through the town with flowers for weapons.

EDIT: Also, does anyone think the number of elves is becoming...>> Too high? I guess we can get it off as them being travellers, but...
...and Estermere IS a human town, I mean, most of the inhabitants, actual inhabitants, are actual human beings, and...
...where is our goblin, out of sheer curiosity.

On a different note, do you finally want to reach Elric's house Bee?

If things get better, I might want to make a dwarven character.

Sorry for the delay in my post.I've been horribly sick with bronchitis and sleeping a lot. But I had some downtime at work and was able to finish things up thankfully. :)

Also, Jules may not be a native of the town, but if everyone wants, I can change it and make her human. Let me know.

Bronchitis?!? Hope you are feeling better, if not get well soon!

Oh goodness, no, you mustn't apologise for the post. It wasn't even a delayed one, really!
I just hope you're feeling better very soon. <3 Bronchitis sounds horrible! :c
Lots of sleep and good movies will do you good. Don't stress yourself out about here. <3
As for Julia being fully human...I think it isn't a problem for now, the races, since we've balanced them out well enough. Elric and James are human, after all, and Julia and Trafalgar are half. We have a lovely little gnome as well, and an adorably pale little demon girl. Not to mention, the little vampire who's a big help to Remmy, and let's not forget our beastly pair who haven't even met yet, but should since one is the hunter and one is the hunted, our beloved half-orc and newest addition, the rather polite gnoll I'm going to call Ark because his full name is a crazy mouthful.
And then there are Corinne and Leara as elves, so that mustn't be a problem...hm. Stroking of beard.
...and speaking of beards, we might have a dwarf as a welcomed new addition, eh Bing?
Looking forward to it. Make him badass!

That is to say, active members...I don't really know where half the cast scurried off to. :c
And I hope I haven't forgotten to account for anyone.

Mortimer isn't dead yet. Though he arriving or at the Church to tell of the horrid heresy and blasphemy he saw.

Got a bit of stuff to catch up on OOC I see? (And of course IC.)
Tempted for Mimsy to carry unconscious past James/Tirarian as you head over to his place.

Name: Delvis Magnum

Race: Human

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Medium length hair that is combed down to his neck, blue sparkling eyes that reflects anyone that looks into his eyes very clearly with a hawk- like nose and a sharp face with slim features. Lean body and pale skin, Delvin stand at about 6ft tall. Unusual for his height, he's actually quite gentle to his surroundings even in combat, being careful not to hit into anything and being generally light on his feet.

Clothing/Armor: Preferring lighter armour for mobility, he wears a leather jerkin that's dark blue in colour and a tunic inside for comfort. Apart from that shoulder pads and fingerless gloves and shoulder pads with leather boots. He also wears a a white hood in cities and during his journey. Strung around his back is his rucksack which is simple
and nothing special. Around his waist there are several pouches most prominently one near to his left where there's an extra large one to house Felder the Skull.

Weapons: Preferring to end the fight as quickly as possible, Delvis duel wield with an unusually long gladius and a dagger. He keeps his gladius which he calls "Guardian" to the right part of his waist and the dagger " dubbed Screech" close to his left near to Feld the Skull.

Skills/Abilities:
Skilled Fighter: Trained by mentors and experience in several mercenary jobs results in Delvin being an experienced fighter and capable of accessing his surroundings with almost a scary alertness.

Aspiring Blacksmith: Delvin is able to forge a well crafted dagger to a greatly-functional sword. Throughout his journeys he has already impressed several townsfolk with his craftsmanship and ability to repair weapons in a relatively short time.

Though not his own ability, Feld the skull enables him to watch into the more magical side of plane, able to detect magical energies as well as managing to harness it as his own however with no magical training, he's unable to do more that just light a fire with his finger and enchantments.

Magic: Enchantments!: By focusing on his surroundings and depending on the materials and elements nearby, he can quickly enchant both his dagger and gladius with nearby elements like fire,ice,water and so on. They only last a relatively short before needing to be cast again and when can only be cast when there's sufficient resources nearby.

Inventory: Gladius "Guardian"
Dagger "Screech"
Pouches containing rations on 5 days
Water for 3 days
Feld the Skull
Several iron ores
His hammer and chisel
3 gold coins


Backstory:
Delvin has always been the silent boy even when he was a toddler. His mother was even worried that he was mute and tried to get him to talk to other boys but Delvin didn't seem to care. All he ever cared about was adventuring out exploring caves and learning more about the world outside of the tiny town near Fullforge Keep. He would often venture there to see the dwarfs mining and forging weapons and armours. He eventually built the nerve to speak with one of the dwarfs, asking him if he could learn how to forge a weapon. When the dwarf asked him why he wanted to learn the art of forging, it made Delvin think for 3 days before coming back and answering the dwarf
" Because you can be the creator of something, something to be proud of what your creation can strive to do and accomplished through your own arms.". The dwarf impressed with his answer, teached him the ways of the forge . When he was 17, he was on his way to his lessons before a noise from a cave stopped him in his tracks. It sounded like human voices and being curious, he entered the cave. The cave looked ancient and worn, with no one stepped in for a possible thousand years until he noticed 2 sets of footprints leading deeper into the cave. He follwed them into the dead end of the cave and there he found his future companion Feld the Skull.

Delvin wasn't scared of most thing, even a skull but what did scared him was when the skull started talking and when the voice belonged to Feld, the dwarf who taught him how to forge. He was taken aback and asked what happened. Feld explained that a necromancer wanted a dwarf as an experiment for his research and ,long story short, managed to lure Feld into this cave and killed him. The spell backed into the necromancer however and his body disintegrated with Feld's soul entering into the necromancer's skull. Delvin then was absolute and was determined to find a way to get Feld back his dwarfen body and so set off to a journey where he met several people that managed to gain his trust, fought together with him and trained him to the fighter he is together. 7 years has passed since that incident however and he's still nowhere close to returning Feld to his body but a small part of him wished Feld to stay together with him, even Feld wished to stay with Delvin forever as well.

I concur, except I can quote specific OPnesses. Dread bolt, for example, causing a feeling of dread and weakness. Where is this limited? How long would it take to wear off? The influence of emotions on player characters is similiar to mind control, which can be used to puppet.
Similiarly, the whole 'summon two of any kind of demon thing'. First of all, two's company, three's a small army. Okay, I'm paraphrasing slightly, but you get the point. In Skyrim, you need a conjuring skill of 90 to summon two demons. 90 out of 100.
Also, any kind of demon? Not familiars or atronachs, bona fide demons. Difficult to control, way too powerful and bloody invincible. Yeah, I summon ghosts, but they're vulnerable to anti-ghost attacks like silver or non-ice magic. My ghosts are weak, pitiful manifestations, shadows of full ghostly glory, but you say you can summon two full-fledged demons - why would you ever need an ally?

Mortimer! Where the hell are you? MORTIMER!

It wouldn't be a fantasy roleplay without half the players wanting to play elves

Thank you, Feig! Specifications, that's what we want!
But we also welcome you to the RP, and hope you have a nice stay! :)
And in other news LOOK IT'S A HUMAN MALE HAPPINESS
...
Something tells me all the human men are gonna be bangin' the elves and there will be half-elves everywhere oh my god
and if a half elf bangs an elf and if a human bangs a half-elf will they be three-quarter elves or three-quarter humans?
OH MY GOD MY CREATE-A-RACE SENSES ARE TINGLING.
Nice to have Delvin on board though! :3 But you might need to go through that CS again too...I get that he's a great fighter, and blacksmith, and all, but maybe the elemential thing is a little...err.
...a tiny bit OP? I know it matches with Feld the Skull, and really I'm okay with Feld, I think he'll be a great comic relief unit if you play him that way, but maybe not "just any element ever" power.
Specifications, that's what we want, my boy!

Feig I did good right?

Now that I think of it. Are they any bad characters in this rp? Has anyone made a character with evil intentions? Cuz if not, I feel I might try and make an assassin who dresses like a jester.

One of us made a gnoll raider, and another has ties to the criminal underworld. James murdered a dude.
