@Prisk Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Coincidentally, a part of Black Ops III is voluntary limb replacement.

@Prisk

Oooh cool.

I like that a lot!

So then the picture in my mind still works, it just leaves the elements more open then I had thought!

So would these congregated spirit characters be an amalgamation of the different elements, or just high concentrations of one?

And looping back to my first question, what would a reasonable number of these more distinct spirits be to have?

Thank you so much for helping me understand btw =v=

@Otaku95
Very cool. If augmentations is a common thing, then it's not hard to imagine that weapons technology would be similar as well!

@deadpixel101
Well, a distinct spirit that interacts without would probably have traces of all elements, but perhaps one or two or more dominant and would show in its chosen form and coloration when emerging from your character's body.

It's totally up to you how many of these you'd like to describe in the story. But, if you want a number, then perhaps 1-4. Ultimately, it depends on a person's spirit density, and consider our characters' young age, their density will be relatively low.

Made updates to Combat and Catalyst sections. You can now see what items you need for which added effects when using magic in combat. Color coded for easy reading.

Yes. My character is a cross between Reinhart from overwatch and Lt. Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist.

@EurmalEye@71452K Either of you potential medics want to share a little history? Seeing as my character is the type to just take a stupid amount of damage, might be best if Ajax was friendly/familiar with at least one of you.

@Mr Rage o7 I've been working on my character, in the shadows, and ironically enough he is an extremely tall guy in the warfare division, hailing from a long line of military men as well. Maybe their families could have close relations?

@RizzaSure! I'm PM you to discuss.

Awesome @Prisk, my favorite game ever!

Sure, though my character will be a Scientist while @EurmalEye will have a Medic (it is written that the Research Division will be comprising of two types of students, Scientists and Medics when it comes to field work).

Though if I am correct, your character sounds like a W. d. student? My character will have spent quite sometime as a W. d. when he first came in (but quickly found out it was not his kind of place), perhaps they went through orientation together? They do share the same Ideology when it comes to why they joined oakridge, which is even more likely why they joined the same division if they knew each other at first. Coincidently, my character's fighting style seems to benefit from someone who fights like yours (after the switch) - I mean which Researcher doesn't like sacrisfices meat shields good allies, right? *Starts casting, accidently Looks at seminaked ally* Euaargh! My eyes! *Spell interupted*

It would be nice for him to see how much your character has changed over the years (also, vice versa) and maybe reinforce/doubt my character's belief tha switching sides was a better life choice.

My character's name will be Montero, character profile should be up by tonight once I get to a laptop. @Mr Rage

Yes. My character is a cross between Reinhart from overwatch and Lt. Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist.

Cool. Is there a realistic picture alternative do you think? I'm sure there are plenty of aryan-looking strong men to choose from!

This is my preview, very simple, draft of my character I intend to play. The details are not set in stone (pressence, Ideology and strife) and are expected to grow and change but these are the starting lines. Here's Montero.

Now that I've got power I can get back to working on a sheet; I hope to have her up tomorrow, Monday morning at the latest!

So how about a long range support character?

I was planning on running a dude with some shooters if that counts?

I was thinking more along the lines of a sniper type

That definitely wasn't my plan then, my guy's gonna be a way more get-in-there type of combat style.

I was thinking of a sneaky recon type and I love the sniper archetype so i'm down to make that.

Same, I was gonna pull a character I made for a previous incarnation of this game. Although to be clear my idea for him to be like an overwatch sniper, recon isn't really his thing lol
