:p It's fine! I was thinking of something along the lines of the Sylvari in Guild Wars 2 or the Foreas in Blood (another RP here). Like, full on sentient humanoid plants are a relatively rare thing to come across these days, and I can't get enough of playing as them!

I think I'd be interested in joining this

another question: what are the Magical Schools? other than that part i have the CS done.

another question: what are the Magical Schools? other than that part i have the CS done.

If there's anything in specific you have in mind magic wise, just PM me and I'll go over it with you. In your case you'd want summoning as a magic skill, so PM me and I'll update you on how it works for Mer-folk.

To be clear everyone, Talents are something you don't have right now. They're just something your spirit can learn and work at to slowly get better at until it becomes a genuine skill or ability one day.

I'd also recommend including clothing, armor, and basic supplies in your equipment- it will make the start of the RP easier on you.

Body Character Sheet

Gender: Female.
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Race: Dark Elf ("Drow", if you're being technical)
Appearance:
Personal plate armour (fitted to drow size):



Helmet – worn under hood (no horns):



Equipment: Two-handed greatsword w/ scabbard, map, compass, preservable food (such as kept bread and the odd apple or bit of cheese), whetstone, polishing cloth and rucksack.

Combat Skills: Unable to rely on the grace and speed elvenkin are renown for, she is forced to rely on both brute force (what she can muster, that is) and any magic she could bring to bear, if at all.

Her primary expertise is with two-handed swords, longswords, maces and polearm weaponry. Conversely, she has little experience with any bowed weaponry and no experience with any other forms of weapon.

Unexpected Angles
To a veteran warrior, every possible part of a weapon could be another avenue for attack or defence - the flat of a blade, a mace's pommel, the shaft of a glaive and so on. All one needs is to recognise an opening, time it perfectly and, of course, practice, practice, practice.

Ambidexterity
Constant training and use of her two-handed weapon has given the wielder the ability to wield her cumbersome 'zweihander' with either her right or left hand in the predominant "control" grip of her weapon. This can allow her to counter-attack or defend against blows to either side of her body that a lesser-trained individual with a dominant hand (as well as no other form of defence, such as a shield) might find more difficult to compensate for.

Non-Combat Skills: Lowlight vision (inherent trait), intimidation (goes without saying, considering who she is and likely what she does), recognition of Dark Elf language and sigils, repairing and maintaining her arms and armour.

Mana: Mid-range mana-retaining capacity, though only usually enough for the abilities that are listed below.
Magical Schools: Demonic/Evil (major)
Magical Abilities:

Smite Good
The very antithesis of do-gooders, such as warrior-priests or knights who serve those deities of heroes, the Blackguard draw on the magic of the world not to uphold the ideas of justice, but to strike down these weak-minded and naive fools. With a powerful blast of magic, the Blackguard could bring any character of Good alignment - at least, those unprotected by any higher power or enchantments against evil - screaming to their knees in abject agony.

Neutral or Evil character will remain unaffected.

Corrupt Blade
Just as a Paladin or warrior-cleric can invoke the name of their god to divinely empower their blade before facing the diabolical, so too can a Blackguard prepare their own blades before facing their opposite numbers.

At its simplest form, corrupting a blade would allow the Blackguard to inflict an incremental higher amount of damage against an opponent, reflecting the infusion of vile magics or runes into the weapon about an hour before the battle.

At its most powerful (and provided the necessary rites and work is done at least 48 hours in advance), the defiled blade can banish an enemy's soul to the hells if the weapon can inflict a single fatal wound, such as running it through the heart or by decapitation.

In both cases, however, the corruption will fade away as soon as the battle has concluded; the Blackguard must begin the rites again if he or she wants to corrupt their weapon again.

Techniques:

Unbridled Rage
Whether it is due to a trigger that sets off something within them or a sudden surge of fury imparted from their deity, the Blackguard suddenly feels their limbs cloaked in demonic fire and their soul filled by rage. Infuriated, the Blackguard immediately rushes towards the target of their anger, their strikes now enscorcelled by the power they serve and hitting harder then they could have before.

Any subsequent strikes inflicted by the Blackguard would hit harder then they would have under their own strength until the target falls. Once the opponent lies dead, however, this strength fades away.

I might be interested in joining this. I have an idea...

Alright, I think we have enough for the first wave of characters.

Interested in joining. Will get working on a character sheet soon.

Oh, I was just about to close the RP to new roleplayers until we got to the second wave of characters. However, I think it'd be pretty bad if someone wanted to join and couldn't because they were three minutes late- So you'll be our last member for now.

Aw, yeah. Here comes my skeleton pirate.



I might edit it later if I find stuff I forgot to add.

Edit: Turns out I did forget stuff, kinda. Tweaked Jim's personality.

Sheet's finished, boss.

Here's the CS. Sorry if it's a little crude, I posted most of it from my phone.

In an a few hours, I'll be creating the OOC, where you will move your sheets. After you do that, I'll be sending out any PMs about any edits that need to be made. Before that, there will be some edits to the sheet to improve its organization and give a better idea of each characters powers and abilities. They'll be minor changes, but I will also put up an example sheet to give you something to follow so this will be a lot more simple and easy to understand.

I'll also be sending out some basics on magic to those that use it so they have a good idea of what exactly they're using, and I'll send out information about particular gods to those who use divine abilities.

Body Character

"What the...the hell's with these sleeves? What sort of fashion genius designed this trash?"

Gender: Female

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Race: Homunculus

Equipment:

Light Armor: "I'm not some kind of barbarian, thank you."

Short Sword+Scabbard: "...a-at least I can lift it."

Bag of Mundane Goodies [+]

"I'm not carrying this junk separately in my hands or something. Use your head, clod."

Granola+Fruit: "A healthy snack on the go!"

Torch: "Look, special eyes don't give you night vision, okay? What if there's a cave or something? Dammit."

Well-Insulated Blanket: "No, you're not allowed to share it. This is mine, you pig."

Cloak: "...I don't want to get wet if I don't have to. Stop giggling."

Combat Skills: Nil.

Non-Combat Skills:

Eyesight: Has never and will never need glasses. Short and long-distance vision is exquisite. She has special eyes.

Homunculus: Traits innate to homunculi of her make and model. As a magic-centric design, magical and mental aptitude is immense but physical specs are abysmal. Can consume food and drink, however requires them in far smaller amounts than a natural living being to continue standard functions, to the point that sustenance can largely be ignored; breathing operates similarly. Consumption of food/drink can be used to restore mana, though.

Rhythm: Highly conducive to feeling and picking up "patterns and flows" around her. Basically just a high aptitude for patterns and cohesion; like this, disruptions in established patterns are easier noticed. Would also make her a decent singer, if she could carry a tune. Ah well, there's always percussion instruments.

Mana: An existence built around use of magic; as a homunculus, her mana is appropriately high.

Magical Schools:

Laws of Velocity- Basic: The magic school that is the sole specialization of this body. On face, a wind-style magic school. In fact, to one who is not a practitioner, that is what it will certainly seem as. In truth, it is a magic of "velocity" that often uses a conduit of wind. Operates upon two precepts: slow and fast. The fast aspect is often used for what would be called conventional wind magic; "blades" of wind, propelling oneself with wind, and the like. Something like "starting a fire" is possible, but is inefficient, comparatively nonpotent, and cannot be innately controlled as fire magic allows; thus, it is largely useless save for something like lighting a torch. The slow aspect is often used for such things as "slowing the descent of one's fall" or "altering air pressure". Both aspects can be used outside of the conduit of wind, simply applying "slow" and "fast", but wind is a general go-to for ease of magnifying effects.

Laws of Velocity- Advanced: The "higher level" of the Fast and Slow aspects, revolving around accessing the terminus of their aspects. At the current state, it is horribly inefficient to actualize and so, while powerful, use is largely inadvisable. At this level, the fast aspect may reach a level where it gives way to Spatial Folding, blurring space under the speed of an attack. The slow aspect's current limit is Spatial Slowing, a "slow attack that slows space around it"; Slowing is not the true terminus of the slow aspect, but as it is the peak of current Slow Aspect abilities, it is placed here. For the laws themselves and not merely the aspects, there may even be a higher level still that could be reached, but it is impossible to be certain at this moment.

Techniques: Nada.

Artificial Spirit

Name: Diana

Personality: Abrasive, brash, and a bit of a bully on the whole. Has a propensity to slang in casual conversation. When acting nice, it's generally a sickly sweet chiding mockery that will fade away once she gets bored with it. Is a pure maiden regardless.

Talents:

Human Observation: Not limited to humans, but called this anyway. A talent to read others. In latency it is little more than the general ability to read things like body language, rather than being something obscene such as gauging one's alignments, nature, and ideas at a glance.

Business: Propensity for "capitalism, ho!". Stepping over the corpses of others, making money from nothing, spending money to make money, and so on. Even if not explicitly applied to running a business, business sense is nonetheless valuable.

That's a cute character.
