@Sunbather

Melanie Martinez looks good so far. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask.

@Anders

Haha, it's funny, when I wrote that her hair is vintage I was think she'd listen to her, but it'd be super outdated and uncool by then.

[SilverPaw]

Well, here's mine...Hopefully it's ok. There are probably still missing things (like, her current IRL situation).

Elaine

Elaine Sullivan

Picture

---

AGE: 21

APPEARANCE:
Elaine stands at 5’4 and is so a bit on the short side. She has a pale skin tone, which unfortunately burns rather easily. She is slim and obviously puts in regular workout to stay fit, strong and healthy. Her hair is naturally black and thick, and Elaine has it cut short, so it falls just below her ears, which gives her a slightly boyish look. She will often fasten her bangs to the sides with plain black hair-clips. Her eyes are a very curious combination of light brown and dull green, and up-close, small almost golden flecks seem to be mixed within. Elaine prefers to dress for comfort and whenever she bothers with make-up, it’s usually very light. She likes T-shirt and jeans, but also has several dresses, a collection of fine, soft and elegant shirts and a couple of jackets to go with them to pull off a semi-formal look if needed. All of her bras are a comfy sports model, but sometimes she still shucks it off at home, puts on a tank-top and hoodie, and usually wears a pair of sweatpants, leggings or shorts alongside.

PERSONALITY
+ Ardent
+ Curious
+ Loyal
+ Fun-loving
+ Determined
- Socially awkward
- Blunt
- Vindictive
- Stubborn
- Impulsive

Elaine is an introvert with the occasional outbursts of extraversion. It takes a long time for her to get familiar with someone, but as she does so, she will gradually begin showing them the more outgoing part of her personality. Online she dares more due to the anonymous nature of the environment. She prefers not to lead, but if the situation calls for it, she will step up to it and put her all into it, and this has seemed to work out alright so far. She isn’t afraid to call people out if they do or say something she perceives as wrong and doesn’t shy away from being confrontational if that’s what it takes. Elaine tends to be blunt and the hardest thing for her is connecting with new people, which has made her circle of friends a relatively small one. She does like social situations, but once she reaches her limit, she gets rather moody and usually moves to a quiet corner or goes home before souring it for everyone. She appreciates her alone time and doesn’t take too well to having it interrupted.

BACKGROUND:
Elaine was born as the only child of her parents, the tree of them a normal middle-class family, well off enough to be able to afford most things which are considered essential for a good life. As far as she remembers, she’s always had a harder time making friends or chatting to strangers compared to others. She did well enough academically. The fact that she is such a good close-range DPS in Haven today is due to a string of certain random events. Her mother was once on a friendly outing with some of her other classmates’ mothers, and one of them suggested enrolling the children in a 3-year long program, which would supposedly impart them some basic knowledge about staying safe as a citizen. Most agreed, Elaine’s included. And so, the elementary-schoolers learned about digital safety, various relevant organizations and how and when to contact them, and even physical self-defense. After the program’s end, some of the kids continued with some media-related classes, but Elaine was one of those who enjoyed the more active part, and so convinced her parents to be enrolled into one of the several martial-arts classes available. Though honestly, back then Elaine did it because she enjoyed anything sports-related and thought it was cool to learn how to fight, even if she would likely never use it. She occasionally went to a competition, but was no prize fighter just yet.

The thing that got her into gaming herself was a friend recommending a stream to her, and from there on, she developed enough of an interest to try out several games. What really inspired her, in more ways than one, was when she heard Haven online being announced. Maybe it was unnatural, existentially questionable or the opposite of how it should have been, but it was gaming, Haven online in particular, which re-energized her in real life too. The virtual reality truly felt limitless, and even combat was somehow much more fun (partly because there was no pain sensation, partly because one could do some truly ridiculous things, especially with higher stats, and partly because getting loot was a really nice bonus). Elaine was suddenly motivated to take her martial arts classes more seriously and initially went with the pure fighter route online. When she eventually wanted to spice things up, she added the spells to go along with it and in the following years, this got here to where she is now. Before making her own guild, she was the kind of a player who sought out mostly opportunistic one-time groups when the situation called for it. But she managed to befriend a fellow martial artist, who cajoled her into making a guild, and together with some other enthusiasts, they built it up and nowadays enjoy the minor fame that comes from being part of a recognizable guild.

TALENTS AND SKILLS:

• Dedication
• Kickboxing
• Time management
• Owns driver's license

ABILITIES

Sorcerous fighter
One of the warrior-mage combinations, this ability makes it possible to tie spells to one’s own body*. Magic damage and precision gain a very significant boost from strength instead of being tied only to intelligence. However, the mana pool is still locked to wisdom. A higher familiarity with a spell also tends to adapt it to the user’s combat style (e.g. instead of the original long-range one direction lightning strike with a chance to stun, the spell follows the intended path of an attack – such as a kick or punch – and has a chance to cause a debuff like “Crippled” depending on the hit area). *Users of this ability cast spells with their (avatar’s) body instead of with a mage weapon.

Incantation Shortcuts
Since long chants can be rather inconvenient if not outright impossible to manage during a close-quarter melee fight, In-Short reduces cast time by converting the original chant to a shorter string of keywords. The longer the original spell, the longer will its shortened form be. Regardless of stats, each spell will take practice to master in its new (shortened) form. Due to the nature of this ability, it still makes the most sense to search for high-powered spells but with short chants.

Vampiric Drain
This is an ability which can (be chosen to) trigger when inflicting burst damage on an enemy (a high crit which is foreseen to finish off an opponent will activate it automatically, if available). The activation of this ability will split the damage so that it’s dealt to both the enemy’s health and mana (instead of just their health) and will transfer the amount taken to the user of this ability. Vampiric Drain is restricted in use to a maximum of three times per enemy during a single period of combat.

Cursed Fangs
An ability which triggers when the user bites an enemy, leaving them with a curse. The curse applies a poison and bleeding type effects, slowly damaging the enemy for a while. A Special version of Vampiric Drain can be used once per combat on anyone marked by the curse. This Special version functions as a long-range curse-type spell and drains health and mana in DOT style (i.e. transfers them from the enemy to the user in increments). The Cursed Fangs effect can be lifted by the right kind of ability, which can also remove the DOT Drain (if active) from the person and the Special will be considered used for this round of combat. Cursed Fangs is restricted in use for a maximum of six times per combat phase (regardless of the number of opponents) and can be used only twice on the same target (per combat).

INVENTORY:

• Immortal's armor set: A high-tier armor set with good offensive and defensive bonuses. Something she had to grind a lot to obtain. [equipped]
• Athena’s headdress: A silver-coloured metal helmet providing a slight boost to int and wis. [equipped]
• Ring of Haste: Substantially increases movement speed outside of combat. [equipped]
• Large potion of Health x2: Can be used in combat, immediately restores some health. Has a 30 second cool-down.
• Potion of Mana x3: Can be used in combat, immediately restores some mana. Has a 30 second cool-down.
• Health poultice x6: Cannot be used in combat. Restores some health over time. Has no cool-down, but only one item of this type can be used at the same time.
• Apple x8: A shiny treat! Better not let it rot in your bag.
• Unnamed junk: Random items that always accumulate and take up your precious space no matter how often you sell them. Useless, but can be sold for a meager profit.

NOTABLE FEATURES:

• Hates being teased about her alias. For heaven’s sake, she came up with it when she was fourteen.
• Leader of the guild MMA-O. As the name implies, most members are martial artists, brawlers, street fighters and all manner of (close-quarter) combatants. There are some pure magic, ranged and blade users, but those that have joined, have generally done so out of a honest appreciation for combat. The guild is fairly well ranked, mainly due to having several good PvP-ers as members, leader included.

@SilverPaw

Thank you for the pretty formatting, accepted.

[SilverPaw]

Saw the pretty in the CS from @Lord of Evil. Stole the pretty and made it my own.

[NightmareInd]

@SilverPaw

Saw your character is the leader of a martial artists-based guild. Guess SpeedyMonkey could maybe join in the future if he takes an interest in PVP.

[SilverPaw]

@NightmareInd If you like, I'd be fine with it.

My sheet is complete

[Anders]

@AngelofOctober

Proofread through the sheet, square out some of those typos and he's fine. As for being a streamer, he's probably not going to be excessively popular due to a plot-point that arises rather early on. But he can do it as a hobby and have some members in his guild, friends, twitch affiliate, etc.

[@EveryoneElse]

Working on the OOC at the moment, still looking for a Co-GM to split the workload. Also, once I have acquired six or seven squeaky clean and refined character sheets posted on the Original Post- I will be PMing a few of you. Last point, if you all would like me to make a discord in the future I will do so. There's a lot of you coagulating in here so I figured I'd ask.

@Anders

I didn't say he was that popular, but enough of a following for him to support himself. Since it seems only natural drawing from the real world. I will do so.

[NightmareInd]

@Anders

In my opinion, I'm not for or against Discord. If it is going to be made, I'll join it, but I'm not gonna mourn if it isn't.

[AngelofOctober]

@Anders

Should be fixed now.

[Pupperr]

I might be interested in this! I love this idea a lot.. just seeing if I can commit :)

Jack Nomen

IRL Picture

---

AGE
21

APPEARANCE
In Real life Jack is a taller Individual with tan skin. Sporting short brown hair and eyes to match. He is a little slender then he should be due to dedicating most his life to Haven now. He takes the gaming personality to heart. Usually wearing clothes that sponsor some kind of gaming company, Game, and logo on him. You would never find him without a pair of Headphones on his head or around his neck. Usually a hat or hoodie with the combo. Although he does so with a degree of fashion.

PERSONALITY
Jack's personality is better determined by his hobbies. He enjoys playing games that offer and competition with ranks. He also enjoys the kind of games where it is up to the player to determine their strategy. Meaning he is a extremely competitive and imaginative. Out of his hobby he is a quiet individual, always aware of his situation. So much so he wears headphones to distract him from hearing every thing around him. When he is challenged or needs to interact with people he usually is very friendly and dismissive. Only his true friends get to see his true friendly Joyful Nature. Trying to end conversations when he can. He also secretly holds anxiety within him most of the time, using products of Nicotine to keep him from falling off the edge.

---

BACKGROUND
Jack was born into a richer family in New York, USA. Maybe not rich, but definitely better than well off. Even with all the money, his parents could not fix his condition. When he was born he came with the gift Is Cerebral Palsy. Unable to walk. He grew up with helicopter parents due to his condition. Making him somewhat of an introvert as a child. Although as he grew up he eventually came out of his shell. He was never good at anything. Whether it was physical or mental. All besides gaming, finding his talent at the age of 14. Being the top 25 of any game he had played that kept a scoreboard. Usually games those games offered a PVP game type. This lasted for years until he found Haven Online. A birthday gift from his sister for his 20th birthday. The game offered him something he could never achieve before. Being the best. So he tries to be the best PVP'er of this game. Hopefully one day reaching number 1 on the PVP ranks ,but now with the induction of NERO he has dedicated his whole time in the game hopefully being the top in eliminating the most members of the ones who threaten his most treasured game.

TALENTS AND SKILLS
Besides playing games, Jack is has a strange knack for catching things and juggling. He as has learned to cook quite well, due to his parents never being around to cook for him. Haven has improved his Reaction time multitasking, and data analisis drastically. He also has a knack for faking his true personality infront of others. This skill had even landed him his current postion within his Guild.

ABILITIES

Jump
Using his Jump Pack, Vector can jump in any direction at high speeds. Easily closing in or creating a gap from his targeted location. He can also leap up to cover dangerous gaps or climb higher locations. Although if used too many time in a short period, the user will start to suffer from "Jump Fatigue" Dropping their DEX by two levels.

Scorched Earth
Usable with the Jump Pack, the user can push out heat around him. The heat from the Jets create an small circle of Damage before lifting the user to the air. The Damaging circle last for 10s.

Dual Wield
Vector's preferred style is either with Dual Handguns or Dual Swords. Making him not only skilled at the art, but ambidextrous with most things in game.

Dirty Fighter
While some prefer to fight with style and even an art, Vector throws all of that away. Fighting aggressive, quick and dirty. Anything and everything is on the Table. Regardless of what it might look to others. Although others wouldn't necessarily call it sloppy. It is a style within itself, just one that is not as Honorable.

Static Traps
When attacking the target, Vector can set a trap down. Whether it set mid combat or before. They usually have the effects of Slowing, Paralyzing, or poising the victim that steps on these pressure activated traps. Usually there is a second delay before activating the circle trap, if the poor target does not remove himself fast enough a large static burst with open up from under them. Applying one of the effects at random.

INVENTORY

Reaver Armor
A Armor set that is sleek with medium armor and a terrifying face mask. The Armor provides decent protection, but for the Armor class it provides extreme speed, weighing almost nothing. On top of that it buffs to the player's speed, melee, and ranged weapons. While not as specialized as other Armors, it gives very nice buffs overall.

Jump Pack
The Jump Pack allows the user to use the 'Jump' and 'Scorched Earth' Abilities. A obvious choice for Vector due to his play style. It has two small cylindrical cones on the center of the back and two smaller ones on the hips of the wearers Armor.

Dual 'HOTSHOT' Handguns
Vector's choice of Range Weapons. The two handguns fire a short range red projectile. Usually used in Full auto due to each round having low base damage. While a short ranged, they are extremely accurate as long as they can be used at range. These are usually Vector's Primary weapons. After long periods of being hit with this weapon the target has a chance to start taking Burn Damage.

Dual 'Frostbit' Machetes
While not the Primary weapon, sometimes Melee is a viable option opposed to Range. These blades do a decent amount of damage, but are very quick. Albeit Vector has to be in arms distance to inflict the terrifying flurry of melee attacks from these weapons. With each hit they have a chance to inflict a Slowing effect on the target. It is rare to see Vector use one of these weapons and even rarer to actual Dual wield them.

3x Stim-Injector
A potion that is usually in a small vial. When taken the user will gain 50% movement speed and a 25% increase in overall stamina. Although after 2 minutes the user will lose 25% movement speed and 50% overall stamina due to the fatigue for 5 minutes.

5x Large Health and Stamina Potions

NOTABLE FEATURES

• Diplomat of the Guild: PVP PLOX?: A PVP oriented guild that tries it's best to only fight others willing to fight back. They also operate in helping players who report areas of other Players who abuse their skill or Level to bully or attack those who do not wish to fight. The guild is known to only take player in the Top 100 Rank on the PVP Leader Boards.
• Rank 56 on PVP Leaderboard
• When not preparing for a Fight he usually dresses in a Fancy Black suit with a Red Tie.. He is always seen wearing it when out of his Diplo Missions.

[Pupperr]

For stats, is there a maximum number you start with as a pool that you have to allocate accordingly? For example, you have 15 points and have to use them wisely. Or is there no set limit for character creation?

[Anders]

@Thecrash20

Awesome character, accepted right out of the gate.

[Anders]

@Pupperr

No because the type of progression won’t be experience based, it’s more so for me to gauge how long your character has been playing and what they accel at. Those stats won’t do anything for you when some polish hitman breaks into your room while you’re gaming and caps you.

Base those stats on what your in-game characters thematic is good at, don’t max everything out and have it make sense.

[AngelofOctober]

@Anders

Am I accepted then?

[Pupperr]

Awesome, thank you!

[Anders]

@AngelofOctober

Refer to page 4, make sure you read everything you said.

[Thecrash20]

@SilverPaw I was wondering you wanted to have some kind of relationship with my PC. Since he is the Diplo of his PVP Guild he is probably has spoken to you if your Guild is PVP orientated. The guilds could be allies, enemies, or both our PC can be friends. Whatever is fine with you and the GM.

This invite of course goes to any others who want to be known by my Char or the Guild, PVP Plox?
