I used to be really into them but really when you look at them they're just generic "fighting manga" characters most of the time. They have an element, but all they do is literally hit stuff with it or do a big DBZ blast. If the character themselves isn't interesting their powersets don't really make up for it. I honestly think it's much more interesting if a character has an oddly specific or weak-seeming power, maybe with different conditions for its use, that they have to figure out strategically. Things like Jojo or Hunter x Hunter.

Or a weak power that gets stronger with actual development of the character. I pretty much just made another Elfman, but he'll have to put effort into hunting down the monsters and learning how to best use their abilities to get stronger.

Oh yes, definitely. That's why I made Ceri.

Smoke magic can be very strong in the right hands I think, especially since she can control it freely. Like the density of it, for example. She can't make it hard as a brick, but she can still condense small amounts of it it to the point where it becomes something you can touch, just a tiny bit. Not to mention the other possible things she could do with it, such as giving it different properties, (Making a flammable smoke for example to support a fire mage).

That said, If done right, I think a God/Devil slayer can be very interesting if you have an interesting element/ability for it. I would have loved for my second character to have been a Devil Slayer, but a standard set 'Magma Magic' works as well. It would awesome for it, considering what it is. I gave her the title 'Demon of Cinder' for a reason xD

But well, you'll see once/if I ever get to use her xD

But well, this is fairy tail. Slapping someone with a fistful of fire is standard. I just don't think everyone should be running around, or even considering Slayer types, when we already potentially have three. They are supposed to be rare, after all.

Maybe later down the road, but...at the start? Ehh....

I considered my character's magic to be a Slayer magic as well, I'm not sure at the moment though.

Those are many of the thoughts I tried to put into my only slater oc. They really just sort of drop Wendy's buffing magic and I was always sad about that and by the fact we never again see other dragon slayers with super unique ability. Hence why I made a sea dragon slayer who has de-buffing spells.

I also made her a second generation with no contact with dragons so she'd have to struggle to learn how to fight and use her offensive magic. Especially as I picture aquatic dragons being far different in style to traditional/flying dragons. It one of the reasons she struggles with her offensive spells, she's trying to think and fight like the very traditional image of a dragon when her magic should be more like a sea serpent.

@KiltmanBagzThat's definitely an interesting way to go about it. I once made a Slayer character, an Ice Dragon Slayer, who had to deal with controlling his own powers. If his emotions got to strong, he'd go berserk and give into the dragonic influence in his body. Never got the chance to go deeper in to that, unfortunately, but it was a fun idea to explore.

Both chars are approved and I gotta say I see Kyuuten and Ky making good rivals~
@Raijinslayer
@Sho Minazuki

@Vongola_HasayoI can see that, can't wait to get started. Will get started on the opinion think as soon as I can, once I actually read through it. Question, though: We're only allowed to have one character at the moment, right?

Right, I'd say for the first two major arcs. I just don't want things to get crowded too fast.

Well obviously her and Ceri need to train together and have a bunch of 'bonding' moments so I can ship them even more xp

@Vongola_HasayoUnderstandable. Probably for the best, anyway, cause I'd probably bring Revan back and start neglecting Ky and Xae as a result. So, we got an ETA for this to start yet, or are we still waiting for Goelm's Hand to get a few more members?

Since golem has been filled to the original max I think we can get started. I'll get working on an intro post as soon as I can~

I can't wait ^^ I have to go to a meeting soon... hopefully I can join after that ^.^

Ah, well I'm going to bed now. Hope I don't miss too much if it starts xD

EDIT:
Going to try to, anyways. Knowing my cat she'll start rolling on my face in a few hours. Every damn time I let her sleep in my room, but she's just so cuddly I can't help it xD

Night, @Rune_Alchemist!

Added my sheet and spells.

Now, to go draw him.

I've updated my CS with newly approved spells and with an updated relationship chart with all of the characters in the tab so far!

Looking forward to getting into the world; thanks a bunch Mr. GM, Sir!

I still need to do my relationship chart thingie... xDD I may do it now ^.^

Would someone be so kind as to take a look at my spells, make sure they're not out of line.

In fact I'm going to go around and see if I may have overdone it, or underdone it.

Not that I'm a GM or anything, but Burial doesn't really seem like a spell, and Chains of Purgatory seems like an auto-hit skill as-written, so I would consider revising those.

It will be interesting to find out how Illedrith's reflections interact with this magic...

That would be interesting. Would it get reflected? Or would the mirrors shatter? I feel like weaker versions might get reflected, while a more concentrated form like Soul Breaker would break the mirrors.

I'll probably do the relationships thing because everyone seems to be doing it.

As with all magic, if the spell is strong enough, the mirror will be unable to reflect the spell, and will either shatter after absorbing the spell or simply break apart. Given that your magic feeds off other magic, the threshold would be lower for you I imagine.

The real question is, how do reflected attacks work? Can you drain yourself of magic with your reflected attacks? If so, where does the magic go? To Illedrith? Back to yourself? Questions.
