Hello friends, I saw the interest check was open so I took a peak since overlord is a favourite of mine and I was thinking I'd like to join the group if that's acceptable. The story hasn't gone too far so catching up won't be an issue.

You're free to join. Just be aware that the NPC's are very much xenophobic which is intentional. I wanted to make them different than Momonga's by them being more open with their hates despite being actual humanoids.

guys we can still keep going with the meeting. I'm getting putting Grey on as the defacto leader out of the way. I doubt Nana will be in much of a position to challenge Grey on the matter, and as the NPC's noted you're, not yet, actual members of the the Imperri so you're currently ineligible for the position. Grey is getting it because he's the oldest, and currently only, member of the Empie.

Well the only other person who can post right now is @Kazemitsu I'm not sure he can do much other than talk back to Claudius who is already kind of been put in his place by lack of a proper leader. While it may show later on Claudius needs a leader above him to function properly. His bravado comes with a need to prove himself to his liege. Without a king he may as well be a soldier without a weapon.

@vancexentan yup! I have to take my daughter to school and work a shoot today but I'll have time in the afternoon to hammer out the rest of the sheet and (assuming it's approved tonight) can post a bit of a catch up and probably advocate for Lord grey

@vancexentan I think I've pretty much got everything down that I can think of. Let me know if you'd like me to expand on anything or if you think it needs more!

@SuperNova9000 Your character's bio needs to be expanded greatly. You say your a member of the Empire but you have no background at all regarding that. Your character has a ton of downtime like Yuki in sword art online being stuck in a hospital which explains the level but you don't have much to your character. Grey is a similar level and he has a ton more skills than you. While I am allow skills to be added later with your current amount, and the lack of job classes you have it seems like your character should be at a lower level. You also should have a subclass into archery if you have things that regard arrows, and bows. Explaining Miko as a class is something I'd like. Miko isn't something you see typically in overlord which is predominately western in aesthetic.

@vancexentan noted, I've made some edits. Tell me what you think?

Also, in regards to what a Miko is; the short answer is that they are Shinto priestesses who (like Jinshu, their male counterparts) maintain shrines, administrate religious ceremonies, and generally are responsible for the pacification of restless spirits.

A Miko is, in modern times, pretty much a part time job you pick up during high school to make some quick cash. You mostly clean shrines and thank people for donations. It's kind of boring (according to my late wife) but is important because the job of a Miko is primarily to pacify restless spirits as opposed to vanquishing evil spirits like a lot of western-inspired games tend to put it.

Throughout history Miko employed archery as a method of self defence and after the introduction of Buddhism and Zen philosophy archery became common practice among Miko as a recreational and meditative activity as well as for defence. Miko were also known for being learned healers and counselors. Basically, most priests and priestesses studied medicine, archery, and oral/written wisdoms in addition to spiritual balance. Shinto Priests/Priestesses were integral parts of their communities and sometimes even took on leadership roles when necessary.

As a job class, I would say that a Miko is a magic user whose greatest strengths are in protection magic and healing magic, and probably subclasses into alchemy and archery.

I would like to note, however, that Nana doesn't have any archery skills and blessed arrow/ blessed arrow barrage are magic skills with similar function to that of a magic missile but take the form of an arrow as a nod to the close relationship between Miko and archery throughout history.

Alright I think its fair to say I've given enough time Marquise I'm going to send those characters on a bus likely to be killed by some obscure magic

Also I'd like to apologize just in case for Grey's attitude he's putting on a show right now.
