Crimson Flame *Insert something profound here*

Member Seen 0-24 hrs ago

Iā€™m probably going to need to add more information, but hereā€™s a preview.

Name: Noble Taegan ā€œTaeā€ Granlock
Age: 18
Gender: Nonbinary (Uses They/Them pronouns)
House: House of Harold
Pet: Blue Spotted Wink
Uniform: All of them at different times.

Appearance:

Taegan is a tall lanky young person. They stand at 6ā€™3ā€ and towers over many others. They have slender build with slight muscle definition that they maintains for cosmetic reasons. They have a heart shaped face with soft features that could convincingly belong to a man or a woman. They wear makeup to contour their face to emphasize their masculinity or femininity depending on their whims. Their hair is blonde and kept in a short bob normally. Sometimes theyā€™ll wear wigs if they want to experiment with different hairstyles. Their fair skin complexion perfectly complements their clear and striking blue eyes. Notably, Taegan has no body or facial hair, further enhancing their androgynous appearance.

Sometimes Tae presents masculine, some days Tae presents feminine, but most days Tae presents androgynous. Either way Taegan sees themselves as beautiful, and sees no reason why others shouldnā€™t also. Taegan has a passion for fashion and enjoys wearing a wide range of clothing styles. They particularly favor robes, tunics with tights, fancy suits, and pretty gowns. However, one commonality across their wardrobe choices is their preference for expensive garments. Taegan exclusively wears the finest silks and fabrics money can buy, considering anything less to be offensive to their sense of style and self-expression. Sitting atop of their head is a crown of gold leaves, symbolizing their noble status and personal flair.

Personality: Taegan is a character with high status and a sense of entitlement. They are proud of their noble background and never hesitates to showcase their prestige. They exude an air of wealth through their clothing and demeanor, expecting nothing less than the best in everything they encounter. Anything less would just be insulting. Taeral tends to look down on commoners, finding them boring, but understands that it is their duty to guide and rule over them to improve their lives.

Naturally inclined to leadership, Taeral takes charge of situations and knows how to command attention and respect through their persuasive speaking skills. They find joy in being in control and imposing their will on others. They often dismiss alternative ideas, believing that their own are superior. However, they struggle to handle challenges to their ideology and become defensive when faced with opposition. Taeganā€™s concern for others is primarily based on their usefulness and cooperation towards shared goals, and they quickly move on from relationships once they no longer serve a purpose.

Despite their excessive confidence and elevated status, Taegan carries a deep sense of loneliness. While they have a close connection with their goddess, it fails to fulfill their longing for true friendship. Taegan secretly wishes that others would naturally gravitate towards them as a natural ruler, but they often find it difficult to establish genuine connections due to the conflicting demands of leadership and friendship. They yearn for one true friend but struggle to strike a balance between their position of authority and fostering meaningful companionship.

History: Taeganā€™s upbringing a member of the influential Granlock family provided them with privileges and opportunities that many others did not have. From a young age, Taeral was immersed in the teachings of their noble lineage, learning everything from etiquette and manners to the religious beliefs centered around their Goddess. However, it was the study of magic that truly captivated Taeā€™s interest, and they spent a significant amount of time delving into books on the subject.

Outside of their studies, Tae struggled to fit in socially. They rejected traditional gender norms and did not conform to being solely identified as a boy or a girl, which led to others viewing them as strange and weird. The resulting teasing and name-calling deeply affected Taegan, causing them to retreat further into their studies and their connection with the Goddess. The Goddess became a source of solace and companionship, alleviating some of the loneliness they experienced.

Growing up in a noble family instilled in Taegan a sense of superiority, which they used as a defense mechanism to mask their loneliness. They looked down on commoners and rarely associated with individuals outside of their aristocratic circle. Taeganā€™s family encouraged this belief, emphasizing the noble's role in leading and guiding the common people toward righteousness. While Taeral desired to ascend to the priesthood, their motivation was not solely driven by a connection to the goddess but also by the desire for the power and influence that came with the title.

Taeganā€™s gift manifested early, at age 14. The couldnā€™t be happier. This was a sign from the Goddess that the path they were following was the right one, and they were destined for bigger and better things!

Gift: Tae is a light based elementalist. They can conjure blasts of light from their hands, and form protective barriers. Taegan also has the ability to cast minor illusions to confuse and deceive enemies.

If we're sharing, I guess I'll throw up my first draft of my character too- took some inspiration from the layout of other character sheets. I'll probably give it another pass to flesh out the details, but this is generally what I'm going for

Interesting and engaging concept, I like it!

Bit of a new roleplayer and part-time lurker if that's not discouraging, but I've got an character concept for this if it works.

The basic concept of it is a first or second year mystic with a Seraph's Kiss. Their first gift being something relatively simple, an elementalist that is attuned to manipulating earth and stone. While their second gift is an Astra, being able to hear, feel, and communicate with the spirits of the deceased as long as he is in the presence of their corpse.

This ability I was thinking could extend to the lifeless husks that are the Seraphim, and given one's presence defending the school he would be subject to communing with it while he's around the Seraphim Terrace.

Angle I'm thinking of would see him being somewhat reclusive and unstable due to his second gift, with maybe more impact given if his parents were mystic artificers that would have worked around Seraphim statues in the past.

I like some of the ideas put forward, especially as some of my ideas for concepts shared by others! I was thinking of sharing my current draft favourite. I got a feeling I might have to change from my usual Arslan dynasty for this RP.

My current idea is based around the character Anastasia Arslan, whose gift is using Flame of Life for healing.

She possesses the ability to channel her healing magic through what manifests as vibrant flames, reminiscent of sacred fire. The flames represent the essence of life, and as she heals others, the flames envelop and caress the wounds, accelerating the natural healing process. In addition to healing, the fire magic can purify and cleanse. She can utilize controlled bursts of fire to burn away toxins or negative energy surrounding wounds or afflictions. In short, it can accelerate cellular regeneration, increase circulation, removes impurities and alleviate pain.

The power has influences from Chinese medicine and Fire Therapy. Fire is the element of the heart, so in this RP would be tying this to the Aeonheart and the use of vitesse representing Qi.

Lol no worries, Thanh and Nguyen are both pretty common names lol

I like to randomize my characters' nationalities to anything non-European (just for fun variety), which usually puts me in the clear with names, but I guess it had to happen eventually! Vietnamese didn't give me a lot of options on the sites I usually use. I probably will change her name; my characters tend to go through some hard times and I don't want anyone to have to try not to imagine their family members going through the same.


OMG. I love all the ideas put forward so far, but this character art is so good I had to reverse image search for the artist. It matches the aesthetic of this RP so well IMO. It's getting me fired up to keep looking for something better for my own character.

I was inspired and it was a slow Sunday, what can I say? šŸ˜…šŸ˜…

@Emeth lol doesn't bother me much. Nguyen is like 40% of the viet population. It's common enough that I've even seen it used as a first name

Yup, slow day, sudden inspiration. Also perhaps just a bit too much sugar maybe.

I don't have a specific number I'm aiming for. But it's a large group school RP, so it's fine if the number of people is on the higher end. Some people drop off anyways (which is normal), so a larger group helps to mitigate the impact of some of that shedding.
