What season are we in, too? Month? (She's a forager and a gardener, so I need to know what kinds of herbs and vegetables she's eating this time of year ;))


Along these same lines, do you know about what time of day the first IC post will be set? Being that my character is accustomed to a somewhat nocturnal schedule, I just want to begin investing thought into what state of mind he'll be in. @Oddsbod

Sorry for the radio silence, I've basically been working CS critiques all day, and haven't had much time to check in here. Should be a bit more active tomorrow, and get a bunch more of these WIP critiques back to you guys.

@Oddsbod What kinds of magical creatures would be hunted/valued in Invernier?


I imagine most magical creatures are very, very rare, and very very dangerous, and finding a prospective buyer would be pretty tricky. In terms of sheer efficiency, it would probably be much safer to either be a crypt raider, if you're willing to go up against ancient magic and terrible dangers, or to just hunt beavers, elk, maybe some big wild animals, and occasionally offer services as a monster hunter if the chance comes up.

What season are we in, too? Month? (She's a forager and a gardener, so I need to know what kinds of herbs and vegetables she's eating this time of year ;))


I'm thinking maybe early autumn, late summer.

Hm. I imagine it would be early/mid day, then you have basically the rest of the day to run through some of the early conflicts, then y the next day the real plot will kick in.

Also, and this is my bad, I completely forgot to include it in the OP, but I'll be adding it in now: If you're using reference art for your character, please make sure to have the artist's name below and a link to their online account, either on artstation, tumblr, deviantart, or wherever (like what I have for the banner on the 0 post of the OOC). If you can't find the artist's name and page, please don't use that image.

@wxps350 Selfish opportunist, seems cool. I like his set up too, actually bouncing carelessly between the two factions, should make for some fun relationships with any other Army/Legion characters. Comparing caring for living parents to keeping old graves tended is a nice look into his mindset as well, that was a cool touch.

Some things I'm not super clear on with the history. Why was he not allowed to actually see his parents? Who was raising him, if his parents were so sick? Did they raise her when he was young, then fall sick? If he couldn't keep a cent of the money he earned, how did he afford basic living?

On the later living, why was there a soldier garrison just hanging out at the edge of town? You mentioned Forbhin and his mentor didn't join the Army of Heroes until the war broke out, but any trained party of soldiers would probably be working under the Army.

You mentioned they eventually switched sides to the Legion, but after a battle where the Legion crushed Army forces, Forbhin ends up stealing an Army insignia and pretending to be in the Army, and labels his master as a Legion soldier. I'm not sure why there're Army of Heroes soldiers cleaning up the leftover of a big fight if they were the ones who were massacred. I'd also like to see a bit more on why they jumped ship to the Legion.

You'll also need the short personality description to go with the bullet points.

Otherwise, I like where this character is going, seems like a lot of fun to write, and bounce off of other characters with.


I didn't think I'd have to explain most of those details out, but:

-He wasn't allowed to see his parents because the disease was relatively easy to spread, especially towards children

-He was raised by his Uncle, but he was always drunk at the tavern

-His parents became sick when he was about 6 years old

-He made some money, but beyond basic living expenses for him and his drunkard Uncle, he didn't make any fruit from his labors

-The Garrison wasn't immediately outside of town, it was a few miles away. And if they would have been in the Army of Heroes beforehand, I can edit that in

-I made it a little unclear the moment he abandoned his master. He and his master joined the People's Legion when they defected, and in the battle, the Army of Heroes were massacring the forces on the People's Legion side, which is why Forbhin snagged an insignia and betrayed his master.

I'll edit some of these in to make it a bit more clear.

Just wondering, not that my character has them, but can a Carnelian have mage-eyes, and if so, how would they manifest?

Also sorry for the random "like", wxps350, apparently I misclicked the button.

I think they could right? Most of their skin is covered in the chitin layer, but maybe the softer parts aren't?
Like I imagined them having eyes and such, not very sure about hair though.

@Oddsbod Informed me that carnelians don't have visible eyes, as they're also covered in chitin. Presuming their vision is fine, it kind of gives them a cool "helmet" appeal, at least in my opinion. Also, no hair.

Ah alright. I thought I had remembered something like that, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I figured I must have made it up, glad that's not the case XD

If they did have mage eyes they could kind of get away with it :P

Either that or they just glow through the chitin, potently evil and mysterious.

That would make them even creepier, but also kind of awesome at the same time.
Instead of mermaids in the sea, we have terrifying spider creatures. Invernier is an awesome world hahaha

Okay so I am pretty sure I've finally finished responding to everyone, in terms of character sheets and character development concerns, but if I missed you, or if, in the future, I go awhile without responding, please don't hesitate to shoot me a reminder PM.

Haha sorry, I've had that PM open on my laptop for days but just haven't had time to get around to it. I don't think I'd have time to really get around to it while dealing with sheets from other players, but I'll definitely let you know if slots open up.
