@LordofthePies Well, you can look at the already accepted character in the other tab. But if you want a comparison with a specialist similar to your own, then look that the @FourthKing did. That one is acceptable too. It doesn't follow every guideline, but it has the most crucial parts. And probably the most important thing, is that they have a unique sort of feel. Their character has a lot of history and personality. Even if they didn't include a history and personality bit, from the quotes alone I was able to tell what their character was all about. The sheet just speaks for itself.

But I don't get that from your sheet. For a 4 year running diver, I'm expecting more than that. I barely know anything. Doesn't feel like he is a character yet. You know what I mean?

Btw @RyuShura, if you feel as though there are changes that can be made to my character feel free to PM me about them and I'll gladly try to adjust the sheet to fit the RP.

@FourthKing Yeah, I checked just now. You're good. Toss him over whenever you want.

And rats. You know what, I forgot to put down a fifth specialty: 'Mechanic'. This one is something of a cross between a technician and a crasher. They build bots. I only remembered because I am writing one up and went to check some info and it isn't there. I swear I put it in during one of my last edits... ah, My bad.

Posted a character as an example for people. Nothing too special, but it should get the idea of what I want to see in a sheet.

I made minor adjustments to my sheet, mostly tweaking Kane's second artifact to an imagery that I feel better fits the setting. Another question for you @RyuShura, are there Relics that change the user implementing its commands? I was thinking of a Relic that would temporarily boost the users speed or stength immensely for a duration of time, obviously with a cool down. I wouldn't want my character to have it at the start but I like the concept.

@FourthKing Noted. And yeah, those certainly exist. Some even allow the user to blink short distances, or some similar means of rapid travel, even.

@Avice Psshh. 'Mostly Done'. What can I say? It's good. Very good. From the looks of things, you're still working on the extra appearance stuff. After you're done, feel free to add it to the list.

@Excal Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. Ah. I think there is still one person from the OOC who has yet posted a character. If you want, you can submit a character idea. Nothing like a full sheet. Just an idea. Maybe, if it comes down to it. I'll pick the best ideas out of them.

@RyuShura Mmm, right now I'm trying fully take in and understand all the details of your wonderfully dark world. I really like it so far! I actually had a similar idea, though it was more near-apocalypse steampunk hextech/too much magic factories causing planet instability kinda thing.

So far I've got a few char ideas.

1) A STALKER (the movie and game series) esque character who worships the Abyssal zones/ancient tech and has a fanatical/adrenaline like compulsion/addiction to go out, demanding reverance and respect from his companions for the old tech. Class Artificer.

2) A 'Doll' ex-sanctioned diver who had a terrible mental/physical confrontation in the abyss with some unknown monster, who after recovery changed from a cheery action girl to an emotionless ghost whose only desire is to, for some reason, return to her previous spot of trauma. She was able to afford jacks and took off so much flesh that she became a 'Doll' (what you mentioned), and was so obsessed that they cut her off from her license for puttting others in danger, so now she tries illegal means. Probably Technician.

3) Similar to the idea above, except more combat grizzled. A magistrate officer or witch hunter who was obsessed with catching the one criminal who always outsmarted her, leading to a recent illegal abandoning of her post to persue said criminal beyond the walls.

4) A soft spoken, kind Alchemist whose actually deeply voyeristic/curiosiry obsessed, nonmalicious but has a deep desire ro know "secrets" by any means. One day he sought to access the Blackdatabase and whatever he found gave him a deep religious vision, which has now propelled him to cross the Abyss to the strange Spire with the flowing ocean above.

I can come up with whatever is needed though.

@Excal Damn. You're good at this. Nah, that's enough I need to see. You're in. Uh, pick whatever you think is most interesting and would add a nice dynamic twist to the already established cast.

And your world idea sounds interesting too! Mine just came from a stem of wanted something more 'Grand' and 'Metaphysical', something daunting and complex by which to challenge myself. I think it has a nice medley of ugly and beautiful.

@RyuShura Just to clarify so I dont misunderstand:

Crasher/Launchers are weapon techs, melee/ranged

Artificers/Collectors are like mages/special ability users

Ciphers are support mages/utility tech, able to detect and understand stuff and alter relic/links

Techs are like trap rogues/all purpose environment folk and can augment equipment.

Is that about right for the class picture?

@Excal You got the basic ideas, I'd just like to add in a few extra details.

Crasher/Launchers specialize in high-powered technology. But not 'Advanced'. This usually ends up with big weapons, lower end power armor, etc. So yeah, they're weapon specialists. But they are often tanks too.

Artificers/Collectors - yeah pretty much.

Ciphers - Yeah, this is a good way of putting it. Technically, anyone having enough knowledge of Hieracon can use :links, so it makes sense these people can too. But because of their mutation, they have to carry less to avoid detection. Did I put that in there? I'll check later.

Techs - I see them in as more technical and practical, in terms of machinery at least, than Artificers/Collectors. Because they usually have some form of modded body replacement, they are not as restricted to cool downs. Obviously, they don't have the vast amount of options that :links provide, as a result.

I added in a new class recently the 'Mechanic' - Basically a cross between a techy and a crasher/launcher, who handles robots. Pretty simple.

@RyuShura Ah perfect.

Having looked over the team dynamic so far, we appear to need a priest/heart/idealist char, and to make sure this works, another question:

Are ciphers the only bizarre "Witches" or are there other abilities/mutations?

And how free is the ability potential of the links? Do we assume standard magic abilities or do we assume a cut off at, say, time distortion or mind reading or life syphoning and that kind of stuff.

Witches are a rather new phenomena. Their mutation, or whatever it is, has somehow also eluded the system. But the difference, is that whatever changed about them grants these people powerful, wild abilities. As I eluded a few times, a witch/warlock is what caused the collapse of District 26. It is hard to tell whether it was one alone, or many, that caused so much havoc. But that should be enough of a tell. These folks are a real threat to the current society. 'Magic' as it were, is seen as the reason the world was nearly destroyed in the first place.

Yeah, nothing that crazy. If the ancestors could control time, they wouldn't be gone. Maybe artifacts might have some pretty crazy effects, but these are just relics. Not to say they are weak, by any stretch of the imagination.
