I meant that if the emperor was married, my second character would be related to his wife. And it doesn't even have to be a close relation, it could be her uncle or something like that. Though it entirely depends whether the emperor is married or not(or if @Letter Bee allows it), if not, then I'll make him one of the few nobles who was on the emperor's side rather than oppose him(because of his own agenda of course).

Of course, but that's something letter bee will have to finalize.

And there are no restrictions on faceclaims? Like, we're not limited to real photographs, anime, etc.

The magic's a bit confusing - at least from my PoV - which is probably why not a lot of people chose it. Might make a druid though. No clue what I'll do to make her, I'll just throw spells at the wall and see which ones get through the CS check.

EDIT: Neeevermind, I noticed on the CS that it says how many spells are allowed. Will work on that.

If you look at the magic section, there's High, Change, World, Necromancy, Timespace, and Mind magic. So those are the types. Your spells can be from any school, though as far as I can tell the more schools you know spells from, the weaker you are in those individual schools(?) You have 6 snowflake points, and you can either use those for individual spells or individual exceptional skills. In the rules section you'll see the progression rules per story arc for learning more magic/skills, and that's about my understanding of the system. If you're going for a Druid-type, my money is that Change and World magic will do you good. Change alters things, heals wounds, makes tree branches into swinging fists, etc. World magic is just avatar-style bending, but with gravity.

Hope that helps!
1x Thank Thank

Brilliant, thank you @Tominas. I'll probably work on the fluff tonight and then get down to the stats tomorrow morning.

It's more a case of the more things you try to do with a spell the weaker it is (I think) so something like a fireball is fairly strong cause all your doing is throwing a large bit of fire while raising flaming zombies is a bit less potent but slightly more applicable to situations. It's a thing of utility vs power I think. Letter Bee will have to clarify as it's his system

Alright... In that case, could you tell me if I'm off the mark with these? I'm more than willing to change if needs be.

-Project Constructs(High): The user conjures simple tools and objects no larger than a breadbox, remaining in existence so long as she focuses on them. Traditionally, Clarimonde utilized this spell for field surgery, summoning sterile clamps and scalpels. Occasionally she drinks out of a conjured teacup for kicks.
-Lesser Judgement(High): Crude but effective, this spell hurls white bolts of energy, doing damage which cannot be healed by magic. Hits as a crossbow bolt.
-Ward(High): Simply a ward against other magic, this spell protects its target for a few hours before wearing off. Has no effect against physical weapons. Analogous to chain-mail, the ward does not completely negate other spells, just lessens their effect on the beneficiary.

I wonder, are WIPs of character sheets okay to post?

I'm doing quite well with the backstory but I think the spells might need some pondering over. I hope you don't mind me making up some locations within the city - if this is a sandbox I think we might need more geographical information to toy with and I wouldn't mind helping out with that instead of making new factions.

I'm also considering making a slave character too, if anyone would be inclined to take her in.

It'd be interesting to see a slave under a abolition minded master who still technically owns them, but only bought them so that they can remove their shackles as a slave.

I think my second character might actually to take a slave in since he owned quite a few slaves in the past, though you'd have to wait for a bit for me to work on him as currently I'm barely touching up on the final details on my first character.

...Am I the only one who would be absolutely tickled by a slave auction at the beginning of the RP?

Well... I certainly would not mind it and it would make sense after all. It could the auctioning of the nobles that revolted and their families followed by regular slaves after that.

You miiiight like my character. Possibly. She won't be that extreme, but I'd be horribly bored if she just went about kicking her slave and constantly abused them for no apparent reason. (On that note, if anyone IS interested in owning my slave, could we...not do that so much please? Pointless abuse just ends up being cringy and edgy.) I'd put the ideal as something a bit like colonialism to the natives; still 'slaves' under every sense of the word but nicely dressed, somewhat literate, capable of working around the house and doing a myriad of chores for their masters. Venedig just seems too fancy to have the stereotypical gaunt, rag-wearing punching bags you tend to see in typical fantasy. What kind of self-respecting aristocrat would want to be seen with a smelly, bony thing running after them carrying their bags?

I'm definitely down for a slave auction by the way, that seems like the perfect way to start off the RP.

Then you're gonna like my second character owning her, but the type of chores she'll be doing(and trained to do) might be quite different from the norm and she might wear other clothes than you might expect, though other than that, he'll be quite nice to her if she obeys his orders.
