That contradicts what I read in the OP, "Working round the clock this corporation has remastered hundreds of thousands of classic games from the arcade era all the way till the early twenty first century for use in their new program." Remastering is usually better graphics, with a new feature here and there, and maybe some more content. Remastering games doesn't radically change what they are. Now, if you had said reMAKING or reIMAGINING then that would be totally different. Remastering implied that they're still mostly the same game we remembered.

Remastering is a term that comes from the audio industry. A Master would be the original copy of a song on the highest quality medium currently available. If there was something wrong with the original master or a long period of time had passed and a better medium was now available the song would be [i]remaster[/i] to improve the quality of the original master.

That's all that remastering means, improving the quality of something. In audio that would mean taking the same thing and making a near exact copy which sounds better but when applied to games it doesn't have to mean the same thing. Especially considering the difference between an SNES or even a 3DS and Virtual Reality environment.

Besides that fact that's not a contradiction, that's a difference of interpretation as technically speaking what I wrote could mean either one to be true. However as the person that [i]wrote[/i] it I am telling you this is what it means. Though I suppose the point is more or less moot if you're choosing another character.

Name: Lana
Gender: Female
Age: Looks ~16-18, actual age unknown, probably in the 1000's
Series: Hyrule Warriors
Appearance:

Equipment: Her Book of Sorcery, a Deku Staff, and a Summoning Gate. (If it's a problem I'll only use the Book; it's her default weapon when unlocking her in the game.) Also, 3 bottles (refillable) with healing potions (Though she probably can't get them refilled).
Abilities: Combat magic, however, Lana has been shown NOT to be affected by constant use of her Book. Here's a good video showing you what she's capable of: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghUEgj9aJPQ]Book of Sorcery[/url]
Also, she's been shown to heal minor wounds: [url=https://youtu.be/TY6YYE2NL34?t=20m54s]Healing[/url]
She's also capable of duplicating herself, though repeated use of this will likely cause loss of sanity, and eventual death.

Also, she has Focus Spirit. If she gathers enough fallen magic jars, she can use Focus Spirit to increase her speed, attack and defense for a short time, before following up with a large explosion at the end of it.
Weaknesses and Limitations: Still very susceptible to damage. In no way is she invulnerable. Also, her attacks are generally weak, only good for immolating the masses. Tougher enemies will give Lana trouble, and she usually beats them by targeting their weak-points.
Personality: Happy, Go-lucky, she always hopes for the best outcome, despite how impossible it might seem.
Backstory: Will add later, when I have enough time to actually write it properly.

I think you're sort of missing the point. I don't need you to give me examples of series that make use of spellcasters free from the impunities of wielding magic. I am completely aware that some game systems make use of magic in that fashion. The point is that [i]we can't[/i] make use of magic in that way unless [i]everyone[/i] is capable of using magic without consequence. Since various games have side effects to using magic and others a toll it takes on the body of the spellcaster while still others have an MP system that in this world would be translated into diminishing returns all of those things can't be ignored simple because a handful of games [i]don't[/i] use them. 

Case and point you used the term [i]"immolating the masses"[/i] in conjunction with the term "weak". In a game like Hyrule Warriors where you are taking on armies single handed, destroying two dozen gorons, stalchildren or bokoblins with ever blow that is perfectly normal. In an RP adapted from such source material however it is far from okay. Think of it in this sense, pick a character, someone with decent power levels and imagine how Lana would wipe the floor with them because there power levels vary so distinctly.

It's sort of like if you had a fight between Eragon and Harry Potter. Harry would be dead in seconds because of the difference between the functionality of magic in the Potterverse versus that in the Inheritance Cycle. I don't really care who anyone plays, that is a personal choice but depending on their source game there power levels must be adjusted to fit that of general group. There is no in game explanation for that it is simply GM balancing to make sure someone doesn't go on a killing spree.

I would appreciate it if you went through her combat capabilities rather than simply linking in videos as you will invariably have to make alterations to her abilities and rewriting text is much easier than editing videos. Another version of Focus Spirit will have to be implemented because I doubt very much you will be finding discarded magic pots in the Aperture Science testing chambers or in Rapture. Likewise Lana's duplication in the game was a result of Ganondorf taking control of Cia and forcing the light from her heart which manifested itself as Lana. That isn't an ability she herself actually possesses but something that was forced on her.

O: this sounds amazing. mind one more? also, thoughts on a pokemon trainer? have a party of 4-6 >.>

The more the merrier, as for Pokemon Trainer that would entirely depend on what Pokemon your character has and the kind of abilities they possess. I'm going to say no legendaries but otherwise make me up a sheet and we'll see what we can do.
