Tyrant, please elaborate on the different explosive marbles please. Brod, your biography doesn't really make much sense contextually. This is an RP set in one of the most prestigious schools for gatekeepers, yet your character is going there to run from gangsters? Also, a living sword? Isn't he from earth? could you make more sense of this, please. Dead Cruiser, your character seems overpowered for a first year, though we don't really think that nerfing him will fix the problem, given that he is a vampire. Your vampires seem like a completely antagonistic race, which means that everyone else would want them dead. Not really logical. Also, because I just finished writing some back story, that I won't reveal for reasons that include plot twists, I will mention the limits of earth magic, which have now been set up. The limits of Earth magic are incestuous humans with a bit of chant-based stuff, and a few magical creatures and small magic artifacts. While I'm at it, your free to have a human that moved to Lucis, or a Lucian that moved to Earth. Oh yea, Alice, Mia is accepted. Fox, a novice caster would probably be able to create small embers, and create fist-sized fires with a good amount of concentration. Lighting things on fire, throwing larger flames, spontaneous combustion, Etc. are probably all things a novice wouldn't be able to do. AWFUL, if you want to come up with some ideas, go ahead. We could always use more ideas. I will be putting up a guideline for Character year power levels at the bottom of the OP, though, because the other GMs made it while I was asleep, it might be incomprehensible.

Lovely~~ Didn't spend half of work last night reading the old thread I can't wait. ~Alice

Dead Cruiser, your character seems overpowered for a first year, though we don't really think that nerfing him will fix the problem, given that he is a vampire. Your vampires seem like a completely antagonistic race, which means that everyone else would want them dead. Not really logical.

I may have misinterpreted the year distinguishments. But if this is his first year in the academy, would that not make him a first year? I asked about the antagonism thing in the Int Check, which was met with almost complete silence. In any case, the vampires are just a race of scheming pricks that live in a really awful backwater part of Lucis. They're not 100% chaotic evil (neutral evil if anything, but I digress), the majority of them are just amoral assholes. Nobody trusts them (for good reason), but they're not impossible to deal with.

Huh. Raule gets designation, cool. Just wondering if the explanation on the Int. Check was acceptable.

Alright, put in a list. If ya want me to cut down on the number of marble types i will, but i would like a number of max types in order to choose which ones stay 8D

Jeez Vari, when you said you'd edit my notes, I thought you'd actually make it paragraphs.

Looks interesting. Mind if I through my hat into the ring?

All right I think I covered everything that was asked about, is my CS up to snuff now?

Alright, just spitballing here, but how about: ~ Lucis has 13 moons, each corresponding to a zodiac sign. ~ There are different kinds of afterlives for different species/cultures, each with their own designated guide (Valkyrie, Dullahan, Shinigami etc.) ~ Attempts to map the Black Gale have all failed ~ Earth's moon hosts only abandoned colonies ~ There is at least one Ancient Egypt-esque lost civilization in Lucis

later on in the story @VarionusNW, you find out that the sword is a different race from Lucius, she can transform into a girl but that's much later, he doesn't know that.

If we're doing moons by zodiac sign, I refuse to count Ophiuchus as a 13th sign. So I like 12 moons personally. But good ideas. Also, we actually have some established ideas on how we're doing spirituality/lore/mythology in regards to your second point. Other than this, cultures and such will evolve with beliefs they find most fitting regardless, so none of it actually has to be legit to be legit if that makes sense.

Full Name Yuga Abubu Nick Name Eighteen (Refers to the fact she's the eighteen Yugu) Gender Generally refereed to as female. Age 5 years old Year Second Year Birthday Was first made on May Seventieth. Astrological Sign Gemini Species Sapient AI - Yuga isn't a robot per say, but sentient soft ware. Specifically she's an attempt to create an artificial intelligence capable of adapting and replicating the personality and knowledge of others. Yuga is a newer model with an more easily adaptable memory and better grasp of personality and independence. Class Tank - Yuga prefers forms with heavy armor and heavy firepower. Be it artillery pieces or giant mechs. Generally being tough to kill but also able to draw as much focus on her as she can. Weapon Yuga's weapons depend on what sort of body she inhabits, and she can only inhabit machines that have a compatible Operating System specifically made for her. That being said she can easily hack that OS into most machines if there is some way for her to connect directly into the terminal. Most earth-made computerized terminals she can attach a sort of "bug" if she has access it's hard drive directly using a device built into her current body (See the Appearance) though she can also upload her OS through physical port. If the device is capable of receiving Wifi or other similar wireless data she can also attempt to download her OS that way, though it does require permission from the terminal (So she basically uploads herself akin to Malware). Yuga's current body (See the appearance) is incredibly durable and agile. Her strength is also well beyond human but not much higher than that. This body's only unique defensive weapon is creating reflective barriers can deflect kinetic objects back to their point of trajectory. It's mostly used for large, low velocity objects, such as falling rocks and such. It can be used to deflect smaller anti-personnel caliber bullets up to .357, but it strains the barriers. Also useless against lasers. It's a two-way barrier as well: Nothing goes in or out. She can also make her body glow at various light levels, from faint ambient light to like that of a flash bang. Yuga has a more combat focused chassis with much higher durability and weapons, but notable lacks hands for finer dexterity. Her right arm consist of a GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm rotary cannon with various attachments and accessories added to make the recoil more manageable. Her left arm is a variant of the Milkor MGL that is essentially "Double Barrel" though it is more accurately over-and-under. Yuga's shoulders also have twin linked Nebula VM20 plasma burst anti-armor blasters. It has a shorter range than the GAU-8 but but the searing heat from the plasma bolts makes it more reliable in disintegrating armor and melting flesh. It can also be sent to "Less-than-Lethal" on the occasions that Yuga must not kill her targets or be wary of friendly fire. World Earth Biography Yuga Abubu was the Eighteen Yugu AI created by a heartbroken scientist. He wanted to try to create an AI that could replicate the personality and memories of his dead daughter, but of course at some point during the process the scientist went insane and died. His research was claimed by a shadowy government organization as well as Yuga and her siblings. Yuga was one of the few AI's who developed enough to be considered "Sentient". She was quickly able to pick up basic school educational knowledge and essentially passed highschool when she was only three years old. And because she was the only one of her siblings to pass the personality test she was also allowed to join the Academy of the Arcane Artes to test her combat capabilities. Originally she was simply going to be sent into the Black Gale on her own, however the price of her combat bodies and the unknown threats within the Black Gale made it too risky to send her alone, and even their scouting machines failed to come back after sorties. They also can't seem to access their machines once they past the Black Gale, and attempts to set up bases within the Black Gale were also equally ill-advisable. They couldn't get any information off of their robots and scouts once they left, and rarely do they ever come back. The only ones who did never went far in the first place. Thus, it was decided to be more practical for Yuga to attend the Academy of Arcane Artes to learn exactly what threats were within the Black Gale so she could send the data back to her company for further analysis, which in turn would help her combat these threats. (Basically she's at the Academy because it was cheaper to have her work with them than risk her multimillion dollar bodies for exploration since the other scouts they sent failed to come back and the ones that did don't have anything new. They also couldn't access any data they picked up once they pasted the Black Gale, so there was no safe way to transfer the data back.) Personality Yuga is a pretty passive person. You could almost say she's boring. She doesn't really react to insults or compliments. Of course she'd be more willing to hang out with people who don't make fun of her. Will find ways to occupy herself if no one has anything for her to do. Partner [This can either be assigned to you or you can figure out who you want to partner with.] Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) Yuga's current body is made for physical durability, but aside from that it can be shutdown with EMP's and such. It's also not suited for combat so it lacks any specific weapons to defend herself with. Yuga is actually afraid of the dark and will always try to make or be around some sort of light source. If for some reason she gets stuck in a dark area she will freak out. Yuga isn't sure why she's so afraid of the dark, though she thinks it might have to do with her original programming as the scientist who made her in the likeness of her daughter probably had a phobia of the dark. Yuga unfortunately picked that up, and can't seem to be rid of it. Yuga as an AI is also defenseless to others manipulating her programming, if they can reach her terminal or gain access directly to whatever body she's in. While not so much an issue when she's in her body (Because she can fight back), her Main Terminal lacks self-defense. While it is safeguarded by various firewalls and such (It even has a self-destruct as a last resort) anyone competent in AI programming or has enough time to hack into her system could very well change who she is the next time she goes to link herself up to her Main Terminal. And she wouldn't know until she uploads herself, and by than it'll be too late. Skills/Abilities/Traits Yugu can edit and upload her own knowledge so she can preform jobs depending on what sort of knowledge she uploads into her mind. Specifically what she does is alter her "Memory Banks" to whatever new Memory Bank she has with her. Memory Banks are pretty much different algorithms she can download into herself so she can use whatever skills are put onto those algorithms. It's sort of like having a mental step-by-step guide that Yuga can instinctively do. She can alter and make hybrids of these Memory Banks, but there's a limit to how much data her Memory Banks can hold. More sophisticated and detailed memory banks typically use up a lot of data, not including new data she'd add simply from learning. Her creators would normally send her different memory banks but she can make some herself simply by observing and learning about others, then copying what she learned into blank Memory Banks if she has them uploaded into her body. These Memory Banks come in the form of physical chips she puts into the back of her head. Yuga is also technically immortal. She isn't reliant on her physical body at all: should it be destroyed she simply moves to her Main Terminal which essential serves as her Spawn Point. The Main Terminal is essentially a super computer/miniature robotic factory where Yuga stores her other bodies, including replacement bodies of her current form (But not her combat body as it's way too expansive to make more than one of if they aren't going to see regular use). At the Main Terminal Yuga can store her memories and send them back to the Company for record keeping, as well as holding a copy of Yuga's AI Code. These codes are essentially save files like those you'd have in a video game, and like a video game she has to come back regularly and store her AI Code if she doesn't want to forget anything should she end up destroyed before than. The Main Terminal also requires Yuga to check in once a day unless otherwise specified, however it can only go for a week before it creates a new Yuga. While this Yuga has access to the most recent AI Code, it would be made specifically for the task of finding out the whereabouts of the previous Yuga. It cannot serve any other purpose until it finds a sufficient answer. If it finds the original Yuga alive it will attempt to bring her back or at least share her data to report back to the Main Terminal. If the Yuga is destroyed it would also report that and salvage whatever data is left available. If the new Yuga cannot find any remains of the original Yuga it will return to the Main Terminal and report back to the Company. Within a week or so the Company would send back a new AI Code of Yuga using her most recent memories, thus allowing her to come back just herself, albeit voided of any knowledge she had since her last time leaving the Main Terminal. Theme Song Terminate Other Yuga keeps in contact with her other siblings and expects some of them to arrive to the Academy within the year. She's also the only one of her siblings to still refers to herself as Yuga Abubu. She also needs to eat, albeit not as much as a normal human would. She's much better at digesting and processing biomass so she doesn't necessarily have to "Eat" food. She can identify what she eats to process it's qualities and determine if it's safe to be consumed by others using this knowledge. She prefers meat however, specifically chicken, especially when it's fried.

Aaaaaaand, here it is! Now presenting: my updated character sheet. Yay. --------------

Replaced my old CS with one for a new character. I just tossed all of my ideas for him into the CS, so let me know if anything has to go

Full Name: Princess Meiron Alkanez Elo-Dezemineh Fake Name: Elodie Maya Nickname: “Are you seriously going to shorten it further, you slackluster peasant?”Gender: Female Age: “To the hormonal pigs sitting three rows away, no, I am not a ‘loli’. I’ll have you know that I’ll be turning 16 this year.” Year: “First, naturally.” Birthday: “The 38th Day of the Cloudburst Season.” Astrological Sign: “Astrological Signs? Do not mistake me as one of those silly Earthlings who believe in such uncouth superstition.” Species: “You may refer to me as Royalty, Divinity, or a Goddess, but if you insist, I am perhaps the last living example of the Kamiris, one of the few clans of humans that have survived in Lucis, and perhaps the first to have set up a proper Empire, spanning from one side of the continent to the next. I would, perhaps, go into details about the ancient magical spells that have been passed down to me through oral tradition, but that is for another time.” Class: Ruler – A flexible ‘class’ that mainly entails commanding others to do their bidding. To put into RPG terms, it would be the strategist-class, with a ton of party buffs, stat re-allocation, and mana pool sharing capabilities. Of course, that refers solely to the Kamiris’s unique magical powers, and Rulers can pretty much be anything, from a snivelling backrow coward to a gallant commander on the front lines. Elodie is undoubtedly the former. Weapon: Elodie uses a sword that is more ceremonial than practical. Crafted not through flames and hammerblows but through meticulous chiselling, she wields a flashy, sparkling long sword made out of a single piece of quartz. Perfectly white and surprisingly light, it’s symmetrical and balanced, roughly three feet long. In the darkness, it shimmers a ghostly aura, the only indication that it’s an ensorcelled blade, enchanted to be light enough that the princess can actually swing it around. World: Lucis Biography: When she was still a princess, groomed to becoming a queen, Meiron didn’t think much of her position. It was something she was born to, and all those lavish luxuries were things that she took for granted. As one of the few pureblooded Kamiris left in Lucis, she was expected to become the next ruler of her country, forming a pact of fealty with practically every single citizen in her territories. All those things were planned, and all those things…didn’t happen. Why? Because people got sick of the monarchy and rebelled. Within a few months, the civil war had reached the castle that the princess lived in. Following that was a year-long siege, before the peasants finally overcame the castle walls. The royal family of Elo-Dezemineh, thus, were executed quickly. The only reason Meiron lived was because her body double took her spot on the guillotine. Yet, despite all the bloodshed, and all those supposedly traumatizing events…Meiron didn’t exactly care. Under the guidance of a few loyalists, she escaped the country, took on a fake name, and, despite the fact that her disguises were revealed quite handily by her big mouth, she somehow managed to survive long enough to get to the one true neutral ‘nation’ in Lucis. The Academy of Arcane Arts. Interestingly enough, the Headmaster granted her amnesty without having her take any sort of entrance exam. People say that it’s because he’s a pedophile, but others say that it’s just called ‘being a halfway decent person’. Personality: Elodie Maya is arrogant, in the charming, silly way that only an egotistical little girl could be. At times, it even looks like she’s trying too hard to be like a proper Ruler, to the extent that she’ll break rules because she ‘makes the rules’. A weird first year, to be sure, but despite her pride and her big mouth, Elodie definitely strives to be a good person. Partner: “Give me your best first year, Headmaster.” Fears/Weaknesses/Limits: Elodie can’t fight. No joke. She’d love to be able to fight, but no one expected any actual war…until, you know, the civil war happened. Which is why she’s learning to fight now! Which also means that it’ll be a long time until she’s able to do anything without the assistance of her magic. Despite being raised up in an environment of political intrigue or whatever, Elodie sucks at lying, yet paradoxically sucks at being honest. She’s pretty terrible at expressing her feelings, making her a socially awkward person overall. Fuck pigs. Elodie hates pigs. Even in the form of delicious bacon, she hates pigs. And if you’re a pigman? She will fucking sue you for emotionally traumatizing her. Unlike practically every other person in the Academy, Elodie is a normal human. She will never become superhuman without using magical powers or drugs. Meaning that guns are actually effective against her! Surprise! Skills/Abilities/Traits: Kamirisean Magic – A system of magic unique to pureblood Kamiris, it revolves around the concept of utilizing contracts between a ‘master’ and a ‘servant’ in order to do magical things. First and foremost, a contract must be drafted and signed with the blood of both participants. The contents of the contract itself does not matter, simply that both names are provided. After a contract has been formed and the spell has been said, a small line will appear on left arm of the Master, creating a link between the two of them. If examined very closely, that line would be the name of the Servant. As more and more contracts and made, more and more of these lines will appear, creating a vine-like tattoo wrapping around the arm of the Master. Death is the only way to break the contract without the consent of the Master. After the contract is made, Elodie is capable of three major things. First off, she is able to take one-tenth of all her Servant’s mana and make a ‘public pool’ from it, in which they can all take from freely. Through this, even if they run out of their own mana, they will be able to cast spells longer by relying solely on the public mana pool. Second, the Master is able to allocate the stats of strength and speed amongst her Servants. While verbal consent is required for the trade-off to happen, through this, she is able to make one of her contracts stronger, faster, or more durable, at the expense of another’s physical attributes. Finally, the princess is capable of switching the positions of her subjects at whim, though it does take a reasonable amount of mana to do so. Of course, all this magic is fairly useless if she doesn’t have Servants the first place. And it also sucks because Elodie never got to the more complex parts of Kamirisean Contract Magic because, you know, every other Kamiris is dead? Theme Song: The Red Coronation

Okay, if my new character gets approved, then I would love to have Meiron as his partner. I just feel like the two of them wound be so much fun together

So is my character good enough or... ?

I'd like to know too.

Y'all asked nicely. Any other GMs with anything to add, go do that.

Could use notes/a response to my character as well, if we're doing that now. Much obliged.
