That's fine, I primarily had the changing appearance aspect as a reflection of her magic being (very) loosely based on reincarnation in Hinduism as opposed to say a phoenix's reincarnation. Possible hijinks were also on my mind, though I can see how drastically differing appearances could extend beyond just that into OOC annoyance. I've updated it so while it still changes, it has strong tendencies towards her old attributes so hopefully that will allow for the best of both worlds!

In regards to updating images, I prefer to keep things as upkeep-free as possible. Perhaps a good way would be just to update the one icon image above the CS in the characters tab as opposed to the three inside? It'd also be nice to have the finished image waiting before a reincarnation so I can base the new appearance on the image instead of the other way around, then get a new one for the next incarnation

Having to update the image may be tedious to keep up with on both sides, so if nothing else, you could just have a recognizable permanent mark on her face (or something equivalent) that is consistent no matter which form she takes. So people (and the players) familiar with Manny can be like, "Oh, that's just Manny" Whereas other people unfamiliar with her can be confused or tricked because they don't know her mark or key feature that people familiar with her do. That way, you can just describe her new form IC, but we will know its her automatically cause of this distinguishable "mark" or something to that avail.

Deja gave this exact suggestion as well actually. That made me consider that it could make sense for Manny's aeonheart to manifest itself more visually for her than others, since hers acts similarly to a symbiote rather than a traditional organ, given that it controls her magic automatically. Even her "consciously willing" to reincarnate is just sending Vitesse into it, activating the "interfered with" clause.

I did like the idea of wildly varying appearances, so if you don't think it'll be bothersome for people then I've went ahead and updated Manny's character sheet again.

Out of curiosity, are aeonhearts literal organs located in the same place for every mystic, or does its location vary from mystic to mystic? Since there are some people with two I imagine there's some degree of variance to it. Additionally, are there Earth animals as well as fantasy animals, or are all animals unique in this world? I've been assuming they would all be unique (and look forward to making plenty of new creatures for her incarnations), but specified her mark as a butterfly to represent the transformative rebirth aspect of the magic.

Okay. Just saw your changes. I think almost all mystics have their aeonhearts in the same place, side by side where hearts typically are in the chest. These are still humans at their core, after all, but the location of Manny's second aeonheart can be a biological anomaly unique to her. I mean, Raffaella's aeonhearts are conjoined, so it could just be an extremely rare thing that sometimes these kinds of medical anomalies/mutations occur with a Mystic's second aeonhearts - Rafaella and Manny being the only current recognizable examples of that.

And yes, there are both "Earth" animals and "Fantasy" animals unique to Lekë. When you have some unique animal transformation ideas, run them by me first so we can be sure they're a good fit for this world.

Hello All,

Today is the day to go over the character sheets that need some relatively minor changes before we can approve them. Aside from @Alfhedil, whom we've already discussed with in private, please look at the required adjustments for your character and make the necessary changes to your character sheet. Please resend your revised character sheet to @Aeolian in PM or repost it in the OOC thread by EOD Sunday Jul 2, EST.

@Alfhedil Go ahead and move your character sheet over to the character tab. Once your character art is done, you can add it retroactively; that's when we'll make the character blurb for Corrina too. Aesthetically, it doesn't work without the character art. lol Thanks!

1. The reputation section should be 1 to 2 well-written paragraphs, so please expand on this.

2. Expand the goals section to a few more sentences. Gives us more insight into what Tae wants to accomplish, whether that be during his time at Harold's Academy or after graduation, and why?

3. Expand the "Mystic Code" section to at least a paragraph. Give us more details about what his light manipulation can do.

This looks perfect! It should be posted as an official roleplay here.
It's the only one that looks good on the forums so far.
I wish this could be posted at Umbra Roleplaying as well.
When will this be finished?

Thanks, I'll try to have something written up in a couple of days. I do have a few questions that I didn't pick up from my reading of the OOC and just want to confirm.

- Is being a Mystic a genetic thing/are you more likely to be a Mystic is a family member was one? Would you be likely to have a similar ability as them?
- While it is implied, is the academy a floating sky island? How much of the world consists of those?

My idea with the character is that he didn't sign up for about a year after his gift manifested. During that time he went on a spree of incredibly petty theft and all around being a public nuisance. During which time he did try getting recruited by a Daemon, but he rejected them.

- would be possible? I imagine there are some parts of the world where the Academy reach doesn't go as far and the Daemon academy tends to find more recruits?

- Would petty theft constitute someone being regarded as a Daemon. Because I would like to avoid that?

Sorry it's a lot of questions lol. Just wanting to make sure some of my core ideas are okay before I write up my concept.

Thanks
