Haha@The Fated Fallen, I knew I was rambling, but at least I was on the right track

I think you explained it better, and I didn't consider it as a useful tool to a GM

The two main reasons I've seen it happen is because something unexpected happened, or didn't go the way the player wanted it it, or because the original concept of the character was unstable or incomplete.

My character is an unstable bitch, she broken in a sense and not without baggage. She does what she wants, when she wants and how she wants. She does have a conscience, which is why she went to help out Tirarian. But she's not going to be nice to you, not right off the bat anyway, it isn't in her character.

As a gm though, alignment helps me to anticipate the actions of a character. Which helps for immersion. As I said, I haven't really seen it here, but I have seen it elsewhere, and I'd rather be safe than sorry, especially when this is something that I put so much effort into.

If someone wishes to switch alignment to evil but feels pretty locked in character wise, I have a fairly high level demon specializing in corruption.

I really do hope the entire party isn't needed for this fight. :P! May have some bad news.

Hehe we should be able to handle this one without you .... I hope lol

I cant keep up with this post quality. Ive tried for days to get a pot but never have time or more than a few scentences.

My next post will be my last. I apologies to all.

Damn shame :/

Name:
Chrome

Race:
Human

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

She is 1.67 metres tall and has a slender figure.

Clothing/Armor:
N/A

Weapons:
N/A

Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral

Skills/Abilities:
She has great skill in hand-to-hand combat. Due to her unrestrained state and training, she possesses great speed that is on par with the swiftest wolves.
She also fights much like a beast.
Being raised by the Grey Dragons, she speaks the tongue of dragons. She cannot speak or understand human.
Her strength is highly peaked despite her figure, to the extent of enhanced jumps and powerful, concussive kicks and blows.
Her enhanced accuracy makes it easier to deflect or dodge far-range attacks than close-ranged ones. So she can dodge arrows, but a sword, lance and even a fist might be problem.
She has skill in swimming, and can hold her breath for longer periods than regular humans.
She knows how to improvise her environment, such as uprooting plants or tossing heavy rocks, to be improvised as weapons.
She knows her way around various herbs, allowing her to tend to any scars or wounds with the right stuff. This was how she dealt with all those first-time hunting attempts and the damage done to her, such as cuts, stings and poisons.

Magic:
She possesses a necklace with a single dragon tooth and two dragon scales. They could be passed off as the scales and teeth of something else, like, let's say, a fish and wolf. This necklace does its job as a protective charm.
If the user has the trust of dragons, such as befriending them or in this case, being their beloved child, they will be granted enhanced magic resistance and fire resistance. Of course, she isn't immune so blasting her with spells will still have effect.
The charm also grants enhanced strength to boost her already peak state, allowing her to uproot trees with moderate effort.

Backstory:
Chrome was, since young, raised by the Grey Dragons. She has never met her actual human parents. While they couldn't trust humans that much, they decided to raise this poor, abandoned one as a dragon, believing that the young ones were harmless in nature, and could be raised as a dragon instead of a human.

They were kind of strict, but they still cherished Chrome as their child and one of their own. And by one of their own I mean living life the dragon way.

When she was only 5 human years, the Grey Dragons taught her how to hunt for food in the wild, both flora and fauna alike, so that she could be independent at some point. Five human years was, after all, the age in which Grey Dragons taught their children how to hunt, how to fight, and how to be strong.

She learned how to hunt, starting from the basics with fishes, deer and finally larger prey and prey that even adult dragons could have a little difficulty with. These prey had all kinds of abilities, and some of these prey were creatures that most humans had never even heard of. She even learnt to fight the occasional human intruder who would dare come to the cliffs, in an effort to repel them. This gave rise to a certain tale about the 'Selkie', which some deemed kind of ridiculous. She was a fast learner and a great warrior. Her parents taught her everything they could so that she could defend herself, hunt prey and even fight humans.

One day, she was caring for an egg that her parents had laid in the outer areas of the cave while her parents were in the inner areas. A skilled magician had snuck in, and he had used some sort of 'binding magic' to restrain Chrome and prevent her from calling out for help. The magic was too strong to break out of the binds. This magician knew that he was no match for the Grey Dragons. It seemed that he used magic to sneak past the dragon's senses so that he wouldn't have to tackle them directly. With that, the magician decided to steal Chrome as a... you know... and take the egg she was caring for as a familiar to be trained from young. The magician then split himself into two, before putting Chrome and the egg in seperate cages on seperate pegasus-powered carriages*, travelling in opposite directions but ultimately heading for the same destination.

Halfway through the journey, Chrome finally broke free of the binds and ripped the wooden cage open, as the carriage flew off and she landed in the water. She knew that she had to find the egg - her brother - before it was too late.

With that, she began to swim until she found a port town - Waeldeshore - which had similiar scents to that magician. She believes that the magician lives here somewhere, and that the egg is here too. She now hides in the shadows, occasionally taking crops and such... But now, she must find the egg that her parents told her to care for.

*The pegasi were just the magician using magic on regular horses to grant them wings.

Good luck in all your ventures!

I second@ArenaSnow, she was such a great character. But I do understand. If you ever feel like coming back, either as xusin, or a new character, you're welcome to. We wish you the best of luck and good journey :)

@Crow let me know when it's complete

Okay folks, as today is a holiday in the us of a, I won't really be around much. But if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them. If I can get back to them, I will, if not today, then tomorrow, or I'm sure someone here might be able to help.

To@Crow and @Diabolic remember the setting when creating your character. Waeldeshore doesn't take kindly to magic users. We'really currently in the middle of a battle. Also, I cannot stress enough, when considering you character's amount of power/strength, please follow the rules. A 16 year old may be quick and skilled, but unless their back story suggests they have been training and fighting all of their life, they still won't be as skilled as a seasoned soldier in their 30's. Just be mindful of what Im looking for. Thank you.

Why yes, she did have 14 years of training and fighting. She's functionally an instictive beast that jumps from roof to roof and uses the battle situation to sneak past, but if there are any kinder, less discriminative characters, they could teach her English or whatever language you guys use.

The mysterious magician I mentioned could infer that the tales of the "Selkie", if true, would imply that she is some sort of guardian to the dragons, because she lives near them and such.

@IcePezz If my character is too broken do tell.

There's one hole in the logic I notice, @Crow. Perhaps not even a hole, I just have some difficulty figuring it.

A two year old learning how to hunt... so this


(for lack of a better example)

Who in normal human terms would have difficulties walking normally, learned to hunt?

I find the age frame a little too young to imagine them learning how to hunt and the like, especially a really little kid like that catching fish.

That's my only bone. Take it as you will. I like the concept, but I find it difficult to wrap my mind around some of the details.

Will the magician be represented in the roleplay? Or simply an NPC target that isn't used?

You're right. I required a gauge... Thank you for the approximate gauge. A two year old human is rather different from a two year old wolf/beast who could easily fend for itself.

Four or five would make more sense I guess, humans of that age are actually a good size to start.

I was considering the magician to be an NPC. But if asked to, I will make him/her into a character. I fear he may be too broken.

If I do make him into a playable character, his side of the story will involve attempting to hatch the Grey Dragon for his own reasons.

@IcePezz My CS is finished, I actually revised a lot of it shaping the rest of his character based on the backstory I created over the course of a couple hours. I think it is very interesting and while slightly powerful there are definite inhibitions. I hope you enjoy it, I did lol.

@Crow Broken in what way?

My Hider [+]

Name: Cyprian Lievremont

Race: Half Elf

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: Cyprian has mana streaks throughout his porcelain skin, they change color and intensity based on his overall usage of magic, it's purposes or frequency. He has short, messy, brown hair. though not visible mostly under his hood. He is tall, but built well for his size. Being a half elf, it is hard to notice because he was never born with signature elf ears, his nose or his chin are the only vague indicators.



Clothing/Armor: Thin underarmor, white or off-white tabards with a black or brown, sleeved mantle. His alignment will affect his gear as much as it affects his skin. His mantle is made of leather hide, it can protect against minor cuts and scrapes. The runes that decorate his armor will also protect him from minor magical damage, it will not however protect against magical weaponry anymore than it will defend against cuts.
Other: His magic mantle has a mind of its own, he can speak to and attempt to persuade Cyprian, but doesn't force him to do anything. His name is Seath.

Weapons: He typically uses a standard military sword, but can shape his clothing into weaponry and armor for short periods at a time, while he is recovering some of his magic the sword comes in handy.




Alignment: Neutral

Skills/Abilities: Being a magical tailor, he can craft, sew, and size clothing almost at will with the proper materials being close to him.

Magic: The runes that cover his gear give him the power to cast spells and use his abilities, he isn't completely powerless without them, but he cannot use spells in rapid succession, it could be potentially fatal or he may pass out. The most frequent form of magic that he uses is some kind of magical whip, or thread that he can use to grab enemies, throw things, or use to swipe at people. The thread like streams of mana protrude from various points on his body, from mana scars that decorate his skin, to the seams of his clothing. He can morph his clothing into a shield, sword, or armor. The armor ability only works for a couple second as to absorb a certain blow, and it is not impenetrable, he is unsure just how protective the armor is but so far has been able to block basic magics, and certain types of blades.

Backstory: Cyprian remembers almost nothing from his early life, his earliest memory in fact is a recent one, he woke up in a cabin. Perhaps his former home, perhaps not. Suppose he was completely plastered, or perhaps he was in a coma. Having remembered almost nothing except for his profession, tailoring, he continued to do so with his new freedom. He spend a couple years tailoring in a small town south of the Isle until it was being raided one night, the town's guards were few or had already been killed. He took up arms to protect a family in trouble, their house burning and they had been boarded up inside. Cyprian attacked the bandits, taking down one and then he was ambushed from all directions. One bandit swung an ax near his shoulder, he closed his eyes to accept his fate but after some seconds he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and the bandit had ran away scared, he turned around and noticed a man kneeled before him. The man suddenly slid apart in all direction as if a razor sharp net had been pulled over him. Cyprian fell to his knees suddenly as waves of magical threads and energy was absorbed into his body, filling him with vigor. His skin formed scars and veins all over, glowing with intensely. His tabard formed a mantle on his shoulders, hooded; it covered his face as well. Inside his armor, he heard a voice.

"I wake, and in mine I shall leave ruin" Cyprian fought the voice in his head, telling him to commit monstrous crimes, to finally feed his previously comatose magic. Threads of life unravel with touch, and a power to weave magical cloth and armor.

I am assuming this is the completed version?

@Crow Broken in what way?

Overpowered, I suppose. Maybe I'll have to analyse details and alter traits such as race and all that.

The planned magics so far are
Stealth magic - prevents detection via sense and sight, until he strikes you.
Bind - well...
Wing grant - Grants wings and flight
Duplication magic - replicates himself into copies. I'll probably nerf this to split his power levels across the clones, as opposed to retaining his full power.

And then there's the offensive stuff like elemental blasts but I haven't gotten into that.

Why yes, she did have 14 years of training and fighting. She's functionally an instictive beast that jumps from roof to roof and uses the battle situation to sneak past, but if there are any kinder, less discriminative characters, they could teach her English or whatever language you guys use.

When you mean English, don't you mean 'Magic fantasy language everybody speaks that just happens to be the same as English even though there is no such place as England' English?

Yes, yes I do.
That kind of English.
