[OOC] I Died & Reincarnated Into- What Is Up With This World!?

[The One]

@Scarifar Ok then, and have you seen Avatar Last Air Bender? I'd say it is more over powering your enemies.

@The One

Character concept is more of a sentence that fully describes your character. I would move the entire paragraph and put it into the Background section.

Also a little more description on your gift please. And if I may, are you set in stone about fire manipulation? There's already 2 other users who are "fire-based" characters. I'm not sure if that bothers you.

[The One]

@Leaves Ok then, How about something like Darkness Manipulation then?

@The One

Again, we'd like a full explanation with lots of details, please.

[The One]

@Scarifar Ok that's fine. I'll edit in a few mins.

[NaraK]

So I tried getting experimental with how this character functions. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hephaestus

Appearance

Character Concept: A magic-wielding heap of metal who has an intense case of music appreciation.

Name: Hephaestus

Gender: Male

Background: Heavy metal and a tinge of engineering defined Hephaestus’ old life. Cool-headed, yet desiring to be hot-headed, Hephaestus lived alone, preferring to keep himself occupied with “professor things” and “metal things.” Contrasting to what his preferences sounded like on paper, his life was fairly normal and made him likable to those who worked around him. Alas, his life had a certain tone of boredom to it, for he never showed his true hobbies to those around him that much…

He carried out his life successfully… up to the point where a blue truck slammed into his car. As soon as he died, Hephaestus decided to go full metal when he was granted a new life. His first harmony of deliciously heavy strings told the tale of his boring death in the most exciting manner, and he quickly adapted to his initial death and accepted rebirth with open arms.

Level: 1

Class: Metal Mage – Although he is armed with a heavy mace that deals great amounts of damage, his true strength lies in his ability to manipulate various kinds of metals. As he grows stronger, the metals he is able to control and its strength in general grow in noticeable numbers. Hephaestus tanks damage while relying on his magic to inflict bursts of damage on his opponent regardless of his distance from them.

Due to his heavy armor and just as heavy attacks, Hephaestus is at his weakest when the opponent maintains a “burst range” between oneself and the armored magician- the minimum distance required to act immediately against his attacks. This allows people to outplay his fighting ability if they choose their options right, regardless of whatever Attribute they have. He still excels at point-blank range combat and far-ranged skirmishes, though his large form makes him susceptible to receiving damage from attacks that most people could dodge carefully from. This is made up with his natural ability to mitigate damage by improving the metals he can control and predicting where to shield himself from certain attacks.

Unlike most warriors and magicians, Hephaestus is unable to equip any other armor and weapon without suffering the loss of his Gift’s passive effects on his default equipment. Thus, he is stuck with the combat equipment he has been given since rebirth.

Hephaestus cannot learn any other form of magic aside from enhanced levels of metal manipulation. Hephaestus learns how to control new metals upon every ten levels, steadily improving his power to manipulate the material at each power up. While monsters around his level (and above, in some cases) tend to have trouble fighting him, he struggles in retreating when necessary and is forced to fight extremely passively during his early levels against fast-hitting fighters and high-damage mages.

Race: Wraith

Attribute: Force

Gift: Metal Manipulation – Hephaestus can manipulate metals both around him and from metal generated by himself. The metal he can create out of thin air reflects on the metals he can currently control. His armor’s durability and weapon strength increase as he levels up, allowing him to overpower more foes up-close and pressure more from afar with his spells. Hephaestus cannot manipulate metallic weapons carried by opponents, but can manipulate weapons thrown by them.

The Metals He Can Control So Far...:
-Copper, Bronze, Iron (Level 1)
-Steel (Level 10)
-Mithril (Level 20)
-And so on...

Equipment: -Metal-Infused Armor. The armor can have its materials magically switched with any metal that can be controlled within his power. (This is the only equipment he can wear that benefits from his Gift)

-Infused Morning Star. The mace can have its materials magically switched with any metal that can be controlled within his power. (This is the only equipment he can use that benefits from his Gift)

-Pouch for “The Less Important Things” (ie. money)

I edited my Cs, how's that? @Leaves

[Leaves]

@NarayanK

Accepted.

@The One

I do have a few comments. I've been in many role-plays to know that dark manipulation can be over-powering; shadows are easy to come by. Dark manipulation with the use of shadows is still broad. Would you be willing to turn the gift into three spells?

[Eklispe]

I'ma point to Scar's point on this one. Saying Darkness Manipulation gives no idea of how strong it is. Like can you create a shadow atomic bomb that kills everything thing or cover people in darkness rendering them unable to move and slowly suffocating them? Extreme examples but well within the power description.

[Eklispe]

AWwww why'd you tell him the effects were temporary XD

[KabenSaal]

Was waiting for my other dude, but he hasn't shown, so I posted.

[Eklispe]

Prefer to wait for @Damiann47 before posting again.

[KabenSaal]

PVP so soon? Not a surprise, I suppose.

[Scarifar]

Nah, I'm suspecting a bit of PvE first.

[KabenSaal]

@Scarifar

@KabenSaal

That's.... character interaction? Yeah that's it.

[KabenSaal]

And it will lead to pvp.

[Scarifar]

Don't worry, Damien's not the type to hit girls. At least, not hard. And unless you hit first.

[Damiann47]

@Scarifar

Oh, that's your character's name. Understandably I was a bit confused at first.

Anyway to my group I'll get a post out in a few hours.

[Seravee]

Y'all move quickly! I'll have a post up in an hour or so.
