Actually on second thought. I think might keep this character in reserve, I don’t know if I can handle 3 characters at once.
"A Boy and his Sword, looking for the Truth"
Name: Steinar Odinson
Appearance:
Origin: New World
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Character Level: 7
Alignment: 0 (Neutral)
Racial Class: N/A
Job Class:
Strengths and Weaknesses: Steiner has an excellent memory and knowledge of ruins and history of the land, however, he has no talent in fighting and has to relay on his sentient sword and Hexblade ability. When separated from the blade, he is basically useless in battle.
Equipment/Abilities:
Durandal:
A sentient magic sword with various abilities. It has the ability to ignite it’s blade and any person who comes in contact with gets hit with a flame curse which would continue burning the target until the curse is purified. It also has the ability to bestow sword skills when wielded and telepathy to communicate with it’s user. It may have more abilities, but they are unknown to both the weapon and the current user.
The Book of Many Things: An unfinished encyclopedia, seems to never run out of pages.
Eternal Language Comprehension: His Innate talent to understand and read any language in the world.
How a normal human would view this character: A regular albeit, bookish adventurer, with a powerful magic sword and a great knowledge of the world.
Bio/Lore:
Ever since he was young Steinar was great interested in the past, it was in his blood. His father had been a legendary adventurer and scholar who uncovered many secrets lost to time, recording it into the Book of Many Things using his talent, Eternal Language Comprehension. It was his dream to create a book containing all knowledge and had a passion for gaining knowledge, something he shared with his son, who had inherited his talent. His father had promised that he’d take him on an adventure, a promise he would never keep.
He had thought his father was invincible, but reality proven him incorrect. A powerful monster had slain his father, his comrades could only recover his life’s work the Book of Many Things, after this event he vowed to become and adventurer and finish it, but when he did, he found out that life was unfair. While he inherited his father’s talent he didn’t inherit any of his fighting prowess, he could use magic, nor did he have any talent with the blade. His peers would quickly outclass him, his dreams seem further and further away. He would shift from party to party, always ending up falling behind.
Though 2 months ago he found himself in a predicament, he was being chased by a group of skeletons, abandoned by his party and used as a decoy to for them to get away. He ran and ran with all his strength, but the undead would still be at his heels no matter what he tried, only succeed in getting himself deeper and deeper into the catacombs they had tried to raid. He ended up being trapped in a wide circular room, luckily the door that lead into the room where heavy enough to by him some time. He looked around the room hoping that there would be another way out, instead he found himself finding an altar, with the blade that would be known as Durandal resting upon, an inscription had been carved into the rectangular altar, they parts of the inscriptions had been damaged leaving holes in the writing as such he could only make out the sentence, “Make an oath to the blade, spill your blood and gain power.” With nothing to lose, he did as it said.
The consciousness within the blade known that would be as Durandal, didn’t know who made it and for what purpose, it knew that it had something to fulfill, but couldn’t recall it. It knew it was in the catacombs for a long time, but didn’t know how long or put it there. It just knew that Steinar was it’s new wielder, who gave it the name Durandal.
Steinar using the blade managed to fight his way out, the flame curse being especially effective against the undead, he made his way back to civilization, reporting the event. The party that abandoned him was black listed from the guild, though he had left out one detail, he didn’t tell him about Durandal. For, so long he faced a wall that stopped him from achieving his dream and with Durandal he could overcome it.

The Player
Name: Eddie Jacobson
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Bio:
Eddie was about to graduate from Nursing school. All his credits were lined up, his graduation date was set. He even had a nursing job lined up to start shortly. College, and nursing school in general was a bit easy for Eddie. In his spare time he played lots of online games. His favorite: Yggdrasil. He played from the very beginning when Yggdrasil was in beta. He was extended the opportunity via email to participate in being a quality tester for Yggdrasil, searching for bugs or issues with the game in exchange for some cool exclusive aesthetic items.
Eddie thought it was a bit odd when he received the email requesting him to do game testing so near to the servers shutting down. He normally would have ignored the request as he had been a bit preoccupied with regular life stuff. But the email was a bit cryptic in a weird way, so he had to. Why not experience just a little more nostalgia before his big boy life begins? Maybe he would receive some exclusive information or, better yet... maybe a beta key to the next Yggdrasil. Maybe a Yggdrasil 2.0 was in the mix and Eddie would be among the first super nerds to hear about it!

NPC Character/Avatar:
Vos is an dwarven traveling magical item merchant/NPC.
Name: Vostumlir Dargim
Appearance:
Origin: YGGDRASIL
Race: Dwarf
Gender: Male
Character Level: 85
Alignment: (Optional)
+350
Racial Class:
N/A
Job Class:
Merchant & Magic User? (Eddie can only guess as to Vostumlir's job class, but he must be good at something for being lvl 85... right?)
Strengths:
+ Has a nice home and plenty of $$
+ "Honestly he's not a very useful merchant, the stuff he usually sells is weird ingredients nobody seems to use, but I did like to sell all of my junk to him after dungeon runs because he has a big stock of gold."
+ Eddie really doesn't know what else Vos is good at. He'll figure it out though...
Weaknesses:
- All the typical dwarven issues: short, typically not super charismatic, not the fastest, etc.
Equipment/Abilities:
"Well, he has a house and a lot of gold. Guess that's his equipment."
"He's got a bunch of different weapons and staffs and... just junk in his basement. He's like a dwarf hoarder or something."
"He's got a high barter skill for sure."
"Whenever my PC's would interact with him he seemed to be pretty cynical and sarcastic. Is that an ability?"
"I gotta figure out what this weird little merchant dude is good at..."
How a normal human would view this character:
Vos is quite short and sturdy. But he's got a big personality, somehow he seems larger when you talk to him. Is it how he stands with his arms crossed like that? Or is it how he's looking at me like I'm the asshole here?
Bio/Lore:
Vos is a traveling merchant on Yggdrasil of which many PC's have never interacted with. It can be difficult to pin down which town he will be staged outside of on which day of the week. Sometimes Vos sells spell books. Most PC's seek him out for his high number of lock picks he sells or to sell large amounts of miscellaneous/junk items, due to his unusually high daily gold pool. There is a rumor that Vos sells high lvl magical items to certain PC's. But they're unconfirmed and nothing solid comes up on a Yggdrasil Wiki search.

I should have the IC intro post ready later tonight. And probably a couple NPC sheets.
And since we have so few people at the moment, I'm making the connections thing purely optional. I would love it, if you guys tried to outline the personal connections anyway. <3
Edit; For those of you whose character sheets have been approved, post them to the Characters tab.

@Quaint Quasar Since its my job as the official lore Nazi, I’m just going to have to point out (If Daisies have done it yet.) that in the game Yggdrasil, players are only allowed one character, not several. They would have to delete their old characters to make a new one.
Also, the correct term for magic user is Magic Caster.

Name:John Clarke
Age:23
Gender:male
Bio:
Growing up, John didn't have many friends. With his older siblings being more popular, most kids wanted to hang out with them. This caused him to be somewhat timid and introvert. His lack of friends caused him to be on the computer more so than he'd like to admit. This led to him reading about YGGDRASIL. After buying the equipment to play, his journey into YGGDRASIL finally started. In the game things were different. John had many friends while playing the game though he never sought to make a guild. At the end, he spent his last minutes of YGGDRASIL on a hilltop where he met his first friends.

Name:Masrith
Appearance:
Description and/or Image
Origin: YGGDRASIL
Race: Heteromorphic-Dragonoid
Gender: Male
Character Level: 100
Alignment:50
Racial Class:
Scale bound
Dragon disciple
Job Class:
Wizard
High Wizard
War Wizard
Summoner
Necromancer
Strengths and Weaknesses: As a pure mage, He posses extremely high magical damage output but when compared to other classes, he has low vitality and agility. His spells allow him great control over the field at a distance though at close combat he is a sitting duck. He tries to compensate his short comings by summoning but there are spells that can restrict summoning abilities. While his high tier spells can do considerable damage, they have a hefty mana consumption which makes him hesitant to use them.
Equipment/Abilities:
Equipment:
Mask of The Silent One: A plain mask with no features, it is practically useless as it only serves as a decorative item.
Magi's Aggressor: A staff that boosts magical attacks up to 30% as casters mana depletes.
Summoners Blessing: 3 times a day, the first three summoning spells that Masrith casts are cast without mana consumption so long as they are 3rd tier or lower.
Magi's Haste: Robes that shorten spell cast time by 10%.
Saviors Ring: A high class ring that allows one to cast a 6th tier heal spell 5 times a day.
Abilities:
Undead Army: A 7th tier spell that summons a large horde of undead.
Summon Angel 4th tier: Summons either a Principality Observation or Principality Peace
Dragon lightning: A 5th tier spell that shoots out a lightning bolt in the form of a dragon, that then seeks out its target.
Crystal Lance: A 4th tier spell used by Evileye against Entoma, launching an elongated cold object sent flying in her direction.
How a normal human would view this character: In human form, he would simply be viewed as a human dressed as a wizard though in true form he would be viewed as a monster. Though anyone that can see magic power however could easily discern he is no mere man.

First IC post up.
In other news, I de-leveled Ulfric a bit. I started feeling kinda guilty about jumping straight to the New World cap, and I was having trouble justifying it in my head.
In terms of story, this probably won't matter, but, in the spirit of cooperation, I feel compelled to be straight up about these things.

@Quaint Quasar Okay, the implications are really well explored in the source material, but here's the short version. Mind, this is what I've been going by. If the duly appointed lore nazi disagrees, then I cede the ruling to him.
In terms of Levels:
1-5ish : Average citizen to town guard.
10-20ish : Adventuring teams at various ranks within their guilds
Mid-30's : Elite adventuring teams regarded as living heroes.
60s : Some Dragons
80's : Monsters said to be apocalyptic threats
100's Players at the level cap
In terms of gear:
1-5 - Simple tools and weapons. Leather or light metal armor
10-20's - Varies from team to team. Some have a number of highly situational magic items or gear that enhances basic attributes like defense or class-related buffs
30's - Custom, high-class gear that represents a significant portion of the effective wealth of a nation.
High-30's Legendary arms and armor that form the most treasures possessions of a nation.
+ Stuff probably beyond the New World entirely outside of Player influence

Do tell if there are problems. I'll fix stuff tomorrow after I wake up cuz I'm about to pass out and maybe rewrite the history, but that's the basic gist of everything. Might write up a new-world NPC.
Name:
Rachel Wynne
Age:
34
Gender:
Female
Bio:
Rachel has been a loner most of her life. Not really out of any desire to be mind you, she just never really 'got' people. One of those awkward people who never could really seem to get her life straightened out to a reasonable degree. So she spent a lot of her free time watching old horror movies, being into mythology and video games. While she wasn't a huge player, they were great for casual fun times - at least until she stumbled upon Yggdrasil. After stumbling upon the MMO, she was immediately hooked. A good stress reliever, and she was finally able to at least appear slightly confident and not a completely awkward mess. In fact, she was rather good at the whole MMO and Yggdrasil thing.
When it was announced the game would shut down, she was particularly upset. Most of her other friends had left, and feeling more than a little depressed she decided to stick around until the very last moment.
Connection to <insert name here>:
Detail how your character is connected to at least one other character that you don't control, who participates in this RP. Were they friends in real life? Rivals? Were they teleworkers for the same soul-crushing corporate employer? Did one cheat on the other's brother/sister/cousin? How/Why do they know each other?
Work this out amongst yourselves.
Name:
Ivaathr'krorh
Appearance:
Iva's avatar is...something to behold, really. Standing at five foot seven, It appears to be some abhorrent mix of eel, seaweed, and most notably, fingers. Yep. Fingers. Lots of them. The humanoid fleshy parts would be quite attractive, if it wasn't for everything else. Her body constantly covered in a slimy, slippery film making it difficult to get a good grip on her. Not to mention the black eel parts which resemble some form of ceremonial dress. Her body temperature is naturally cool and cold. She lacks hands, though and instead has had them replaced by a mouth with a prehensile tongue which are just as dextrous as hands.
Origin:
YGGDRASIL
Race:
Heteromorphic - Brain Eater
Gender:
Female????
Character Level:
Yggdrasil:
100
Alignment:
-300 (Neutral Evil)
Racial Class:
Job Class:
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Iva's abilities are completely ranged based, and she is primarily a Magic Caster. She utilizes a variety of spells that directly affect a persons mind and more metal based abilities that she uses with little effort. Such as powerful telekinesis, Psionic blasts, and such abilities. She normally lets her extra 'hands' do the fighting and only move should she need too. These abilities are supplemented by her impressive healing abilities which means she can go for quite a bit longer than people give her credit for. Her favorite ability however, is the ability to dominate a lesser beings mind and have it fight for her. One shouldn't underestimate her physical abilities however. She's quite the slippery little fish. Literally, and if she gets any of her mouths on you...well, game over man. You now have a baby cephalapod in your head.
That said, while the mind has been strengthened the physical body has suffered. While she is wily and knows how to best leverage her weaker body to retain grip on someone, the amount of physical force her body can exert isn't impressive. She's quite frail, physically speaking, and would loose to most in a contest of raw strength. Couple that with low defense to physical attacks, she suffers in close quarters usually.
Equipment:
Crown of the Yellow King:
Protects against mental effects, nullifying them completely. It enhances the wearers focus, allowing their minds to stay clear and sharp at all times and have a preternatural understanding of most magical abilities they see. Divine Class.
Earrings of Hotepa:
A pair of divine-class earrings. Allows the user to have a limited shape shifting ability, allowing them to change their appearance within limits. Those with particularly advanced scrying or those with the ability to see through illusions will see through this quite easily. Using the item causes one's abilities to more appropriately reflect the illusion as well, should one so happen to look.
Abilities:
Gluttonous Feasting:
A ability that heals a person directly proportionate to the amount of flesh they eat. Takes the life of others and converts it into life for herself. Any physical damage dealt to a creature by any of her mouths will be drained of life and instead transferred to her to heal, or temporarily strengthen her own physical abilities. Can use this ability to purge toxins from the body.
Eldritch Hands:
She can manifest upwards of ten different psychically controlled arms and hands. These hands can exert as much force as a human in top physical condition, and as they are ethereal can not be defended against by most people. They are just as dexterous and can easily be controlled. Feels no pain and can effortlessly replace them and use them to defend/attack. They are usually invisible to the naked eye.
Mind Blade:
A simple spells that turns psychic energy into an ethereal blade able to be used to attack with. While it is named 'blade' if one is skilled enough, they could shape this into any physical weapon they desire. Invisible to the naked eye.
Psionic Shriek:
A wide, AoE Attack that directly affects a persons mind. Anyone within a large radius will find their minds assaulted by an intense pain that causes severe brain hemorrhaging without sufficient protection. Can focus on a single target to make it more effective. Causes migraines even in those who defend against it.
Mind Jammer:
An ability that hampers ones ability to think and numbs the mind, effectively making them slow to react, have trouble thinking of solutions to possible problems, and generally just makes them lose some of their mental faculties. Strength can vary from simple sluggishness, to making one completely 'blank' entirely, forgetting what they were just doing and erasing parts of their memories. Especially useful on Magic Casters.
Psionic Barrier:
A magical ability that places a powerful barrier around the target that repels any incoming attack be it physical or magical in nature.
Overwrite:
A particularly devious ability that at its core, simply brainwashes the target sending them into a fugue state following a single command of the caster, or entirely overwriting their free will to make it more agreeable to the caster. Can only used on single targets, one at a time and either physical contact or direct eye contact for a few seconds is required. The more its successfully used on a person, the longer it lasts unless the person has been thoroughly cleansed of its effects.
How a normal human would view this character:
Completely utterly terrified, most likely, should they know what she truly looks like. Horrific beings such as herself have little in the way of allies and love. At best, she'd likely be shunned, at worst, hunted. The earrings will likely help much, but its not a perfect illusion and sometimes things get weird. Her body temperature will stay the same, and she'll always have a clammy and mildly sticky feeling on her skin.
Yooo, here's the CS. Did someone say Lovecraft?
Do tell if there are problems. I'll fix stuff tomorrow after I wake up cuz I'm about to pass out and maybe rewrite the history, but that's the basic gist of everything. Might write up a new-world NPC.

Name:
Rachel Wynne
Age:
34
Gender:
Female
Bio:
Rachel has been a loner most of her life. Not really out of any desire to be mind you, she just never really 'got' people. One of those awkward people who never could really seem to get her life straightened out to a reasonable degree. So she spent a lot of her free time watching old horror movies, being into mythology and video games. While she wasn't a huge player, they were great for casual fun times - at least until she stumbled upon Yggdrasil. After stumbling upon the MMO, she was immediately hooked. A good stress reliever, and she was finally able to at least appear slightly confident and not a completely awkward mess. In fact, she was rather good at the whole MMO and Yggdrasil thing.
When it was announced the game would shut down, she was particularly upset. Most of her other friends had left, and feeling more than a little depressed she decided to stick around until the very last moment.

Detail how your character is connected to at least one other character that you don't control, who participates in this RP. Were they friends in real life? Rivals?

"Squid(?) lady that's a little too handsy & Lazy.
Name:
Ivaathr'krorh
Appearance:
Iva's avatar is...something to behold, really. Standing at five foot seven, It appears to be some abhorrent mix of eel, seaweed, and most notably, fingers. Yep. Fingers. Lots of them. The humanoid fleshy parts would be quite attractive, if it wasn't for everything else. Her body constantly covered in a slimy, slippery film making it difficult to get a good grip on her. Not to mention the black eel parts which resemble some form of ceremonial dress. Her body temperature is naturally cool and cold. She lacks hands, though and instead has had them replaced by a mouth with a prehensile tongue which are just as dextrous as hands.
Origin:
YGGDRASIL
Race:

Character Level:

Alignment:

Racial Class:
- Brain Eater
Dominator
Gluttonous Monster
Job Class:
- Eldritch Scion
Mind Melter
Psionic Savant
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Iva's abilities are completely ranged based, and she is primarily a Magic Caster. She utilizes a variety of spells that directly affect a persons mind and more metal based abilities that she uses with little effort. Such as powerful telekinesis, Psionic blasts, and such abilities. She normally lets her extra 'hands' do the fighting and only move should she need too. These abilities are supplemented by her impressive healing abilities which means she can go for quite a bit longer than people give her credit for. Her favorite ability however, is the ability to dominate a lesser beings mind and have it fight for her. One shouldn't underestimate her physical abilities however. She's quite the slippery little fish. Literally, and if she gets any of her mouths on you...well, game over man. You now have a baby cephalapod in your head.
That said, while the mind has been strengthened the physical body has suffered. While she is wily and knows how to best leverage her weaker body to retain grip on someone, the amount of physical force her body can exert isn't impressive. She's quite frail, physically speaking, and would loose to most in a contest of raw strength. Couple that with low defense to physical attacks, she suffers in close quarters usually.
Equipment:
Crown of the Yellow King:
Protects against mental effects, nullifying them completely. It enhances the wearers focus, allowing their minds to stay clear and sharp at all times and have a preternatural understanding of most magical abilities they see. Divine Class.
Earrings of Hotepa:
A pair of divine-class earrings. Allows the user to have a limited shape shifting ability, allowing them to change their appearance within limits. Those with particularly advanced scrying or those with the ability to see through illusions will see through this quite easily. Using the item causes one's abilities to more appropriately reflect the illusion as well, should one so happen to look.
Abilities:
Gluttonous Feasting:
A ability that heals a person directly proportionate to the amount of flesh they eat. Takes the life of others and converts it into life for herself. Any physical damage dealt to a creature by any of her mouths will be drained of life and instead transferred to her to heal, or temporarily strengthen her own physical abilities. Can use this ability to purge toxins from the body.
Eldritch Hands:
She can manifest upwards of ten different psychically controlled arms and hands. These hands can exert as much force as a human in top physical condition, and as they are ethereal can not be defended against by most people. They are just as dexterous and can easily be controlled.

Note, for my beginning post I just wanted to get all the exposition out of the way. I’ll probably never make anything that long again.
@Rune_Alchemist As for your CS I don’t have the final say on who gets accepted, but I say it’s solid except for the Strength and Weaknesses. The keyword being the latter, Weaknesses. She doesn’t have any listed down. Otherwise it’s a good CS.

Dear god. I wondered when somebody would take the plunge. Yggdrasil allowed for total freedom and I find that infinitely desireable. Weird stuff was within your grasp. Like Shalltear. I don't think this is spoilers, but I'll hide it anyway. Just some rambling about Overlord.
My big beef with Ainz is what he did to Albedo. As a gamer, if I valued these friends like Ainz waxed nostalgic for, I would not have messed with her settings. That being said, if I was gonna, I'd have altered Shalltear Bloodfallen as a matter of taste. I feel like a character concept like The Bloody Valkyrie could be a legitimately awesome character concept. Consider the Erinyes, fallen angels-turned demon. In D&D, Demons are Chaotically aligned by nature, that is to say, their madness is the method.
Elizabeth Bathory was a countess said to have bathed in the blood of virgins in order to stay young. Vampiric Elegance is often mocked, like with Twilight, but forbidden fruit is, of course the sweetest. So Peroroncino made Shalltear a loli with a complex about her flat chest.
Fuck me, just take something classy and even worthy of legend in the context of the New World, and bring your Magical Realm into it. Just put that bad taste in my mouth. So yeah, I'd have made Shalltear a grown woman, well proportioned, but not overdone. Also remove the stupid Wing on wing aesthetic just give her feathered wings. She could have been a beautiful, terrifying harbinger of her lord's bloodiest whims.
But no. Ainz makes Albedo like him and then spurns her advances. Bad taste and a lack of integrity to boot. No wonder he can't commit to being the overlord.

@Quaint Quasar Okay, the implications are really well explored in the source material, but here's the short version. Mind, this is what I've been going by. If the duly appointed lore nazi disagrees, then I cede the ruling to him.
In terms of Levels:
1-5ish : Average citizen to town guard.
10-20ish : Adventuring teams at various ranks within their guilds
Mid-30's : Elite adventuring teams regarded as living heroes.
60s : Some Dragons
80's : Monsters said to be apocalyptic threats
100's Players at the level cap
In terms of gear:
1-5 - Simple tools and weapons. Leather or light metal armor
10-20's - Varies from team to team. Some have a number of highly situational magic items or gear that enhances basic attributes like defense or class-related buffs
30's - Custom, high-class gear that represents a significant portion of the effective wealth of a nation.
High-30's Legendary arms and armor that form the most treasures possessions of a nation.
+ Stuff probably beyond the New World entirely outside of Player influence
Yeah that’s accurate. Though it should be added that legendary heroes were at level fifty. I didn’t see this, sorry.

Name:John Clarke
Age:23
Gender:male
Bio:
Growing up, John didn't have many friends. With his older siblings being more popular, most kids wanted to hang out with them. This caused him to be somewhat timid and introvert. His lack of friends caused him to be on the computer more so than he'd like to admit. This led to him reading about YGGDRASIL. After buying the equipment to play, his journey into YGGDRASIL finally started. In the game things were different. John had many friends while playing the game though he never sought to make a guild. At the end, he spent his last minutes of YGGDRASIL on a hilltop where he met his first friends.

The Avatar
A quiet an observant individual who wont back away from helping someone in needName:Masrith
Appearance:Description and/or Image
Origin: YGGDRASIL
Race: Heteromorphic-Dragonoid
Gender: Male
Character Level: 100
Alignment:50
Racial Class:
Dragonion doesn't have any racial classes listed so not sure what to put here.
Job Class:
Wizard
High Wizard
War Wizard
Summoner
World Disaster
Strengths and Weaknesses: As a pure mage, He posses extremely high magical damage output but when compared to other classes, he has low vitality and agility. His spells allow him great control over the field at a distance though at close combat he is a sitting duck. He tries to compensate his short comings by summoning but there are spells that can restrict summoning abilities. While his high tier spells can do considerable damage, they have a hefty mana consumption which makes him hesitant to use them.
Equipment/Abilities:
Equipment:
Mask of The Silent One: A plain mask with no features, it is practically useless as it only serves as a decorative item.
Magi's Aggressor: A staff that boosts magical attacks up to 30% as casters mana depletes.
Summoners Blessing: 3 times a day, the first three summoning spells that Masrith casts are cast without mana consumption so long as they are 3rd tier or lower.
Magi's Haste: Robes that shorten spell cast time by 10%.
Saviors Ring: A high class ring that allows one to cast a 6th tier heal spell 5 times a day.
Abilities:
Grand Catastrophe: By far his most powerful spell. It is a trump card and uses as a last resort. This spells destructive capacity can wipe out primal elementals though it consumes 60% total mana and would leave Masrith at a considerable disadvantage should he engage in a fight after using this spell.
Summon Angel 4th tier: Summons either a Principality Observation or Principality Peace
Dragon lightning: A 5th tier spell that shoots out a lightning bolt in the form of a dragon, that then seeks out its target.
Crystal Lance: A 4th tier spell used by Evileye against Entoma, launching an elongated cold object sent flying in her direction.
How a normal human would view this character: In human form, he would simply be viewed as a human dressed as a wizard though in true form he would be viewed as a monster. Though anyone that can see magic power however could easily discern he is no mere man.
Aside from a few formatting issues, this looks fine.
You might try moving the closing brackets, so the different sections are formatted correctly:
[b]Race:[/b]
[b]Strengths and Weaknesses:[/b]
[b]How a normal human would view this character:[/b]The bold formatting isn't just cosmetic, it's intentionally distinctive, so I can more easily skim through different parts of the CS. I have to reference these things periodically, so it helps when I'm trying to find a specific piece of info about your character.
As for the racial class for Dragonoid/dragonkin, I'm not sure if there is one in canon. But! You can just make one up. We are pretty far removed canon Overlord material at this point, so you have a lot of creative freedom to make what you want.
It's also worth noting that you aren't required to take levels in your racial class either. Maybe the race just had higher base stats and that's all you needed for some build? Maybe your character just liked the look of it, so the race was chosen for purely cosmetic reasons?
Make some minor changes, and the sheet is approved.
Rules change:
From now on, world-type job classes will be prohibited for future Yggdrasil characters.
One is fine. Two is on the borderline, but I'm having a really hard time imagining any more than that would still be playing during the server shutdown. There's a few of other reasons for me doing this as well, but I don't feel like explaining in depth. #WordsAreHard
