I posted the template to show that I'm working on it, you have so much creative stuff going on that it's actually really hard for me to make this character lol. Is there any advice you can give me, other than the obvious (don't god-mode)


It really depends on what kind of Ideas you need, once you get a bit more that race and age filled out I'll gladly help, but I need some specifics on what you need help with. If you need an example of a filled CS here's a good one. and there there is this one just showing what each section is asking of you.

Iron skin and psychic abilities being gone will bring it down sufficiently for my liking . I'm not too concerned about the strength as mages and ranged fighters should still have a chance and with your body being a larger target that most due to your wings, i'll allow it for now. I can agree that an angel "in their prime" should have some right of superiority over the common earthbound folk.


Well I edited the strength too, just as a sign of good will :p
Am I accepted?

And people, what do you think of my character? It has been a little while since I last RP'ed :)

Well, I'm a Lycan which has a sub-race of Human, so I need to know what kind of names are fitting in this universe as well as clothing and such, the other two characters above are Angel and Dwarf which naturally have crazy names and clothing and stuff like that. I just want to fit in properly ya know.

Alright, so, correct me if I'm wrong on any of these:

-Wings, powerful enough to carry at least themselves (wing-strength probably varies among individuals; Archangels assumed to have very strong wings relative to the rest)

-Can fly relatively fast overland when unencumbered, encumbrance is based on wing-strength (regular periods of rest needed, of course; they couldn't fly across Tailteann in a day, or any such preposterous thing)

-Have their own magical traditions, rather like the Elves or Fae, and could have access to Cryptic magic that has been lost on the surface ever since they ascended to their islands (I would give them preference towards the "light" element and healing magic, but that's just me)

-Are somewhat physically stronger than humans, perhaps more on par with the physical races, like the Bangaa or Ronso (Archangels, by their nature, are stronger still, as they are the "cream of the crop")

-Are the longest-lived of the physical races, trumped only by Spirits; in addition, they have a strong immunity against most poisons, diseases and afflictions that originate on the surface (excepting artificial ailments meant specifically to harm them, and ailments unique to them, such as the Gray Wings Curse)

EDIT: The only problem I have with Gabe's backstory isn't the character itself, really, but the portrayal of angel culture and government as exclusively arrogant and such. In my head, I'm thinking that is more the mind-set specifically of the angels who dwell in the Crystal City, not ALL of them (perhaps they are a specific enthicity, the "white wings", who are known for seeing themselves as divine and all that; other types of angels, perhaps with different-colored wings, could be more moderate)

Aye, feel free to drop your CS in the OOC.

Clothing would be clothing ranging in the medieval-victorian eras depending on your occupation and social standing. Armor, steel or leather. Robes/rags would be common among the lower classes. Middle class would be just about anything really. a good pair of pants, a solid shirt, vests what have you. Suits and ties among higher classes. Just as long as you don't think it would be too far out of place it should work.

As for names For the most part just think names that have gone out of style or more European sounding names. An extravagant or strong sounding last name will work wonders. If you have read or watched game of thrones, those would also be good reference for names. Though we don't really need any Joffrey Baratheons, you have to admit that name does have some power behind it.

Wings correct, they can safely descend from the floating isles that would be out of reach of the airships of Fiddare. So they must be strong enough for flight. Magics would be correct, and you even have the idea of cryptic magic down already. (I can recall if i've explained that here or not) And yep again to the Physical strength aspect, they should be strong enough to hold their own and be able to garner some parise, they should trump all without any contest. And yes, longest lived of the physical races, Though a powerful demon could potentially live longer. Spirits and Fae are more or less immortal, all depending on if they manage to keep the will to live in the case of a spirit. Or keep themselves occupied and away from boredom in the case of a Fae.

Edit: If that bothers you, you could always be from a different of the floating isles that 'litter' the skies. As you said, a specific subgroup of angels that his/her angel is from wouldn't be nearly too far fetched for it not to exist.

Well sounds about right. And I can edit the CS to say Crystal City only have white-winged Angels. Then we can have other kinds of Angel-races. Good idea ;)

Oh, and: Archangel is not actually a race, only a title like "Elite".

I just wrote "Cryptic" because... well I think I read it as been "old magic". I should probably check that source more carefully.

I only made the Angels arrogant, because that was what the race was suppose to be in the description. My character is actually a bit less cold and more relatable than the rest. Otherwise interacting with Gabe would be hell for the rest of you, and I prefer to have a more or less likable character (unless they are a villain). So I didn't invent the whole "Angels are asshole", the rules of the RP did :p

Edit: Well okay, the description doesn't say Angels are suppose to be asshole :D but it does say their race is usually cold and doesn't show emotions.

BTW I'm all for having different kinds of Angels. The whole "Arrogant"-thing can just be for the snobby white-wings of Crystal City.

I was wondering if i could get some feedback on my character so far. I do have another question now that I think about it, can Lycans transform at will or only during full moon. I read that their power in greatly increased during full moons or night time but does that only apply to their werewolf form or is there strength and/or senses increased even while human. I also assumed the transformation was that of the humanoid nature, not the actual wolf kind. Sorry if I'm being buggy about all this, just rather knock this stuff out now instead of after I've already invested a lot of time into its creation.

:) Okay, glad to have that worked out. It'll probably take me a little while to work on my sheets, but sometime in the next few days they should be up.

What I meant, Unknown, was that the Archangels, being the very best warriors, would be comprised of angels that were all stronger-than-average, in both arm and wing. Obviously, the Archangels of the Crystal City would probably all be of the white-winged, "divine" variety, while others from other islands could be of different ethnicities.

Anyway, considering my angel's background, there could be some very interesting interaction between her and Gabe... Hmm. We'll see.

Sorry for my brief disappearance. But their transformations could occur at all times of the day. Just gaining significant power at night. During the day depending on their mastery of their transformations the TIME they could remain transformed would be the limiting factors. Even when in plain human form though they would have heightened senses and reflexes. They would give off a more wild aura and the like. I'll look over your CS in just a minute. But i'm trying still to finish my own and add some much needed informations to the OOC.

EDIT: To Garrison, Your CS looks fine so far, I approve of the transformation appearance too. Names good, and I like that you went and even though to have him "branded".

hah. I hit the character limit for a post in the OOC, I knew I should have reserved a second post. Sorry to dissappoint all who have made a post in the OOC but i'm likely to remake it seeing as I need a bit more space.

Name: Valmortis Kal'bar
Nickname/Alias:
Race: Demon
Gender: Male

Age: 1500
Age Appearance: 27
Birthplace: Acid lakes.

Elemental Affinity: Fire

Alignment/Affiliation: Neutral

Rank/Occupation: He doesn't really do a lot since most people don't immediately trust him with things.

=========================================

Weapons/Items: (This is more a heading, nothing goes here.)
Generic Items: Not much, really. He travels quite light.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: The glaives of strife.

Description: The blades of the glaives cause wounds that are not easily healed. With the magic that Valmortis possesses they can be summoned.
Appearance: You'll see them with the character image.
=========================================

Appearance:
Personality: He has a calm demeanor and is surprisingly slow to anger. He calculates his moves in combat with a level head and is quite tactical about things. However, he treats people respectfully and expects it in return.

History: Valmortis was born and hidden from the world. He was trained in secret to lead an army of demons marching ten thousand leagues across the world to sow destruction. But when he finally left the caves he had been training in he felt that the world wasn't really worth tearing up and felt that it was already on a downward spiral. Betraying and slaying his master he scattered the army of demons and began to wander while hoping to find something interesting to do. Though due to his status as a demon this has proven to be more of a challenge than he expected.

=========================================

Strengths: Wise. Advanced training. Capable of flight. Rapid healing. Tactical. Level headed. Versed in magic.
Weaknesses: Limited social interaction. Easily bored. Hard to motivate. Lacks strong positive emotions (Pity, mercy, etc)

=========================================

(Put your character's name here)’s Magic/Techniques:
Name of Magic/Technique: Summon the Glaives.
Rank: Cryptic
Range: Personal
Type: Magic
User(s): Himself. No one else knows this magic since it was specially crafted for the weapons he wields.
Element Affinity (If Applicable): None

Description: Valmortis opens two rifts and removes the warglaives from them. They are fully repaired by traveling through the rifts.

Weakness: Null magic fields or spells can close the rifts.

====================

Name of Magic/Technique: Dark lightning.
Rank: Cryptic
Range: Thirty yards.
Type: Magic
User(s): Demons primarily use it, though other races can learn it from demons.
Element Affinity (If Applicable): Lightning

Description: Sends a bolt of green and black lightning towards a target.

Weakness: Cannot be cast while moving. Anti magic zones cancel it out. Can be dodged by the very swift.
Note: Can also be used as an area type spell, this had a longer focus time and requires more stamina. Has a thirty yard area range.
