[Arthanus]

[Arthanus]

Soooooo how is everyones weekend going?

[Arthanus]

Lol seriously no one can come up with a better plan than someone dancing in the middle of 7 orcs trying to attack from the sides and using our healer as bait against archers?

[BKburke]

If I may speak freely. It's a little difficult to come up with a cool hard core plan when the skills of our members arent really diverse. We have one or two archers, a healer, and the rest are basically swordsman. O could reinvent my character to help male the skill set of the party more diverse if needed.

[Arthanus]

That's why I went Gladiatorish Siegfried can pretty much delv out into whatever is needed for us but yeah we are very sword heavy when it comes to fighting

[yuckeroni]

sorry for being late, i totally forgot again. but hey, i drew a diagram to go with what marlis was saying too :,)

the pic turned out a little large than what i was expecting. oh well.

[Arthanus]

Gotta Say props for drawings in the sand

[BKburke]

Like i said. I can reinvent my chatacter if needed. I'll make a new cs. Then after we kill the orcs. The new character (if accepted) can show and say "jack. You have been reassigned to deal with a rogue reaper" jack will leave and the new character can take his place.

[Arthanus]

That might help, but i mean only if you want to. I don't want to be the one to tell you to basically trash a character so we can have a more rounded team.

[BKburke]

It's fine. Just a quick question. How would you define arcane magic? Some people have different view from it. I was gonna use dnd as a basis but I wanted to make sure.

[yuckeroni]

my friend was actually interested in making a character! he was saying that he wanted to make a battlemage to hopefully try and balance out things

[Arthanus]

That could really help maybe a full Mage for a non support role would be cool. But more magic in general would be good

Name: Nox Faeyette

Gender: Female

Age: 29

Nationality: Talos

Appearance: Nox is the epitome of simplicity. Sporting fair skin and a height of 5'9", a life of solitude within the confines of her master's abode leave her fresh and unblemished. A blue sigil is located on her back, directly over her heart; indicating magical aptitude.

Bio:
Pursuing a higher social status, Faeyette's father immediately sold her to a wealthy female patron in Talos. As she grew, unaware of her lineage, Nox developed the social skills necessary of those living amongst aristocracy. The servant grew a close bond with her superior, committed in servitude any way possible. Late at night, Nox was often found within the study, analyzing powerful grimoires in hopes that one day, she'd be able to defend the woman who gave her an identity.

Even still, the whispers of adventure peaked her curiosity. A world existed that Nox had yet to encounter; the thought fascinated her. One fateful night, her mentor presented a parting gift- a tiara crafted from solid black zirconium. At first, she was reluctant to leave, to the point of denying her wishes, but in the end, they came to the mutual understanding that her place was not with butlers and maids.

Armed with the blessing of her master, the adventurer traversed the various towns of Alestoth, making a living on various search and destroy missions via local pubs. On her own she slew beast after beast; honing her craft and forging a new identity. One occasion lead her travels to the countryside, where she defeated a Griffin terrorizing the village. It was then she drew the interest of the Black Order.

Intent on meeting her master once again, Nox wandered through the misty woodlands in search of a path to the main road where she, hopefully, could find a carriage to hitchhike. Her gentle stride was halted by the subtle crunch of a leaf in the distance. She remained still, taking a breath of the stagnant air, allowing herself to be taken in by the lovely seclusion of nature. Without warning, a dagger hurtles towards the back of her head, glinting in the shade as it sent ripples slicing through the air. "I am a lioness, I will not cringe for them." her soft mumbling vanished with a graceful turn, ice and steel rebounded in a flurry of glistering shards. A shadowy figure twirled intricately through the treetops, yet the maven remained stationary. "A reaper?" she confirmed; the mask was distinctive of that faction. After a simple gesture, the forestry is sent crashing in a dazzling procession of icy spikes encased brambly in roses. The assailant, unbalanced and plummeting to the earth, energetically ricochets off a fallen trunk to gain momentum as he flew in for another attack. Unable to cast another spell within the low time frame, a panicked Nox retreats leftward a single step, sacrificing a hair to the dirk that could have taken her life. Assessing her brazen locks for damage, the battle mage exhales to find the enemy advancing. "saphiro mobius" she whispered. The rogue cast parted the fog in a violent explosion of frozen vines and petals. Seafoam erupted at the forest floor: a byproduct of the spell. Still, lack of proper aim only bought Nox several seconds of breathing room. The combatant, now disarmed, landed a swift blow to the solar plexus. The mage recoiled to the floor soaking her knees in the frothy earth. The silhouette of Nox's limbs imprinted like artwork in the mire as she desperately avoided the reaver's relentless assault. Her patience grew thin. Flailing her left arm, another blast of icy tendrils snares the Reaper's ankles in a frigid grasp. Pillars and spikes of ice arise instantaneously from the sod. She found her opponent trapped within the confines of her bitter clutch. "You are worthy" he says. Perhaps her reunion would have to wait.

As a new recruit of the Order, Nox excels at the many reconnaissance missions she is assigned and is humbled by their acknowledgement of her skills. In the future, she hopes to gain enough recognition to be considered an equal to her superior.

@ithinkalot the character looks alright for the most part. But something seems off. I can't exactly put my finger on it right now but I'll give it a more in depth look when I get home tonight. Also both the picture and link are broken. If you can fix the picture stuff I'll give it a full look tonight

@Arthanus

the picture and link are fine for me :/

[Ithinkalot]

@Arthanus After reviewing the picture and link several times, I'm not entirely sure of what is wrong with the bb code :O I can't really see the problem. I think the reason my character feels so thematically different is because I intentionally avoided a tragic backstory (I thought it might give a little bit more diversity), though I can see how the lack of dramatism might come off as stale. The simplicity in her backstory leaves me very open to character development as the plot advances, nonetheless, thank you for your time. Further insight would be greatly appreciated.

[Arthanus]

The picture might just be my phone, but the link to the sigal requires a log in to another site. As for the character I think I got it and it should be solved with a few questions. 1 I'm a bit confused because with a mage the selling to another family could go two ways. Either he sold her to elevate himself for greed, or sold her to a powerful family that could better develop her talents. 2 there is never really a mention of when you started to learn magic. And my final little bit is why you were forced to leave with a parting gift. Aside from that I don't really have any issues with the character.
