Meanwhile this group is missing the FF constant so I'll slot that role.

@71452K Ok. That sounds good to me. We can PM about more details if you like, or we can just make it up on the fly, either works for me!

@Prisk Yeah, I'll find something else if you prefer.

I am good with PMing a few specific details. We can make the rest, more minor quirks, up on the go as long as it fits the theme of our characters.

Not one to miss out on things, Pardosa seems to have a talent in getting themselves invited. They talk in paced and smooth words, with a cool disenchantment between people. Always striving for neutrality he often work as a mediator in their social circles. While he is actually quite opinionated he tends to keep this to himself, and listen on the thoughts of others. He is actually quite quick to anger, but of course also talented at keeping calm. Only those who get close to him can really read his facial emotions correctly, as he tends to display a polite smile of indifference at all times. While he seems easy to get along with, some people can find him unsettling. Of course the amount of people who fall for his charming guise are not few. When it comes to fashion they dress in the chromatic scale. Whites, grays, blacks. Nothing too loud.


I D E O L O G Y
Pardosa is a convoluted person. They are of at least two minds on many different subjects, and while they seem always in motion with direct purpose, indecision plagues them. They are of the self serving sort, while also being willing to do anything for their idea of the greater good. They think, sometimes too much, before every action. Emotions are calculated, and at times seem an annoyance. A firm believer that to make an omelette you need to crack a few eggs. True victory is never achieved without sacrifice. They like to think that they are a big picture planner, with a ruthless side, but in all honesty they can't help but do the small things ahead of them. Their actions can conflict their "sensibilities" meaning those thoughts are more so ideals, instead of their realities.


S T R I F E
Pardosa combines three main elements in combat: Ice, primarily. Water, then wind. They enjoy the creativity that comes with limits, and hope to push the boundaries on their selected elements rather then try and grasp at too many straws. That being said of course, it's a waste to not apply other elements when one can. It's just good business. Entering combat in all white, Pardosa enforces prime conditions. Creating a steady gale of snow they use their stealth to create a moving spot of snow-blindness. They create weapons and ammunition of ice, and use guerrilla tactics to jump in and out of combat. Can travel at extreme speeds by creating roads of ice, ice skates and propelling/balancing themselves with wind. Works better alone, but again, it's good business to use your assets, even if those are allies.

Debating on making a hybrid character like this (as I scrapped a Intelligence/Research character) or a pure Research Guardian who focuses on 'aberrant' Magic but there seems to be a large amount of Research Guardians already :/ Also, face claims are hard...

Just a note for everyone: I most likely sleep when most of you are active, as I'm in Europe. Just thought I'd put this out there so it doesn't seem like I'm ignoring all the talks.

@71452K@deadpixel101
I will comment on your sheets once I've put my own up. I realize that it will just be easier for me to reference my own sheet in certain instances. It's mostly the ideology section that need a bit of expansion, but I'll get back to comments in a bit.

@Fabricant451
The FF constant? It's probably something super obvious, but I'm too stupid to see what it is, haha!

My guy is the squishy, so if we have like 8 tanks or healers he's fine with that.

Oh, hi. I didn't refresh the page before posting myself. Don't be too discouraged if a lot of people are in the same division. They are just broad fields of study with many, specific orientations that I can't go through in detail.

Oh, right, haha. That's exactly right. The Cids are often pilots or mechanics, yes? I don't remember what what it was in 8, though. I'm not sure if 15 counts, as it's his daughter that does all the fixing. Or, well, most of it. He does have the weapon quests.

@Prisk In 8 Cid was a principal but he helped turn the school into a mobile thing so it counts. But yeah, my character's gonna be in the Navigation division so they can be all mechanical and piloty.

I always thought the FF constant was kaiju summons and OMGSEIZURE limit breaks that slap physics in the face.

I'm putting my sheet up for sake of reference. It's not complete, as no sheet can be before we go through the 'kinship' section!

@Mr Rage
Great character concept overall! Reinhardt is one of my favorite characters in Overwatch, and it's always good to have a big guy on the team. I hope your search for a realistic picture alternative is going well! Here are some other comments. On the name, do about 4 spaces between the first and last name. Expand a little upon how people would perceive Ajax (presence). What you have written in the 'ideology' section is background information. Try to go into values, morals, ideas about the world and life, thoughts on human interaction, and such. You don't need to describe Ajax's combat techniques beforehand if you don't want to, and you also don't need to impose negative consequences if they are based on assistance from spirits. Guardians can use magic freely to create abilities and attacks on the fly when they fight. Sure, they can stick to signature moves that they've created, but don't feel that you have to limit yourself!

@71452K
I get a Count of Monte Cristo meets Nikola Tesla-feel from your character, which is very cool. Any realistic picture alternative to go with that sheet? Instead of 'Research Division, Spirit Sciences', put just 'Research'. There is a bit that you can expand upon the ideology section, just delving deeper into what Montero feels about certain ideas and values, moral issues, and things you already mentioned. Amusing reference to the card game in the setting!

@deadpixel101
Could you include Pardosa's full name? Great picture! Your text was a little confusing to read due to the mixed pronoun usage. I appreciate that some people like to partake in identity politics, but I have to make it clear that it won't be a prominent theme in the context of this story. Pardosa can still have these mindsets, though! The points made in the presence and ideology sections are very clear and good, so they deserve to be expanded upon where possible. From your 'strife' section, I assume the weapon of choice is conjuring some kind of elemental weapons? Correct me if I'm wrong.

@WanderingSpirit
Looks great so far! I'm not sure if you wanted some comments yet. Is his surname Cahn or Polaris? Or is Polaris a nickname?

@Rizza
Very ambitious sheet! You can put just 'Warfare' instead of 'Warfare Division'. The ideology section is great, but make sure that you and your character know what some of these virtues mean. For example, "Treat people as they should be treated" can be interpreted in many different ways, some of which are not very nice. Of course, I'm not going to be some kind of morality police here. In the context of all the other virtues, this one is bound to be a good one as well. You can change "Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga" to just 'martial arts'. I have no idea what those two (I assume) fighting styles are or what they look like, and in the context of the lore, they wouldn't exist by those names. You could create new names for those styles, if you want!

That's the most realistic image of this character that I have,
it's very very awkward when I put photos. I tried but there's something really bugging about it, kept thinking "Wtf". But this is as good as a photo, yes? :).

I'll expand the ideology section, sure, his specialisation should be apparent enough that not listing would not change much. Heheheh, I mean, you made the effort to come up with a card game so why not include it? Got to be realistic, which student won't indulge in a little Recreational TCG if it's no harm?

I shall make your recommended changes tonight. @Prisk

Hey there~

Made a few adjustments. Boy did I not notice how much I messed up with the the pronouns. I made more of them "he" so that it's an easier read lol. I didn't really mean for it to come up much, just something that felt right for the character.

And I'm still debating what exactly his tools are. I do enjoy the idea of him crafting weapons like ice daggers on the fly, but he also feels the type to me to come prepared. Maybe bring a tactical knife and sidearm?

Perhaps just the gun, because I doubt he can make that out of ice. Otherwise you are correct, he crafts them on the go.

I should add that to the strife section as well yes? I will also try and expand my presence and ideology sections.

Excellent. I suppose I can make an exception on the picture. It looks like a painted portrait for an actual person, anyway, so it's okay. It almost fits the character. It's a bit of a Dorian Gray-feel!

Yes. You can go with a knife/sword + sidearm, and then play with the idea of 'coating' the melee weapon with elements! That would make much more sense in the context of the lore.

@Mr Rage Sorry I didn't get back to you. If you would like to set up some sort of backstory together let me know! I am open to the idea.
