[OOC] The Order of Hunters: Tales of Fort Raven's peek

[drallinix]

instead of changing his bio could I just switch him to a different kingdom seeing as that was mainly just for backdrop and he can fit in about anywhere if so tell me where you think he would fit best.

[BKburke]

Name: Real name: Jack Maverous. Name known by: Jason Mythious
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Nationality: Cauduim Empire
Appearance:

Jack

He stands at 6 feet and has a slight build under his robes. Under his mask he has big blue eyes and short, brown, spikey hair.
Bio:
Jack Maverous was born in the Caudium Empire into the family Maverous which famous for its magic abilities. Having his family lineage, his family had began to teach him about magic. He however did not really find it interesting and instead showed interest in enchanting. He spent his time learning about how to enchant items rather then powerful spells. He found himself believing that a knight with the right enchantments could accomplish any task. During the time he lived with his family, he found himself being very social and making friends. He showed them his abilities and his parents were pleased to entertain his friends when they had the free time. That however was what caused him to realize the truth. The more he though about it the more he began to think his friends weren't really friends at all. It came to his attention that his friends just wanted to act as his friends because it meant they could get closer to his parents. It was that day that he decided he wouldn't live with his parents for very long. He spent all of his free time studying and experimenting more with enchantments. Before he left off, he took his parents most prized enchanted robes and staff. After he had achieved what he believed to be his goal he left the empire and his family behind hoping to make his own legacy.

On the road:
Jack decided that he would travel the world and adventure to make a living. He figured that someone would need his enchantments and would appreciate him for him. He traveled across the nations showing off the various enchantments he could do. He enchanted the armor of knights, nobles, hunters, and a variety of others to make his coin. He used the opportunities of this to study and expand his knowledge of magic and enchantments and for a time he was happy. However, no matter where he went he always had the same problem. Everyone no matter who it was always wanted to hear about his parents and what they could do. This made him feel his work was for nothing that despite all that he could do on his own that he could never live up to his parents legacy. That was when he made the decision to hide his identity. He changed his name to Jason Mythious and crafted an enchanted mask that would hide his face from everyone so long as he wore it. He then heard of The Order and what it did. This lead him to find and serve The Order.

Serving The Order:
Jack (under the name of Jason) sought The Order hoping to finally make his own legacy. He spent three years with the order. Over the course of the years he did reveal his true identity to whom he had to but only when it was absolutely required and in private. Though he didn't exactly show to be social he did prove to be friendly and respectful to those who showed it back. He also became friends with The Orders blacksmith to the point where he revealed his identity to him though he did ask to keep it secret. He often was seen with the blacksmith showing his enchantments and even helping with weapons and armor enchanting while they are being made to affect the appearance. Jack overall does not know how others view him as part of the order but he does not really care so long as the superiors approve.

Fighting Style: Jack isn't very skilled when it comes to fighting with hands or a blade but his knowledge in magic and the range his magic gives him is used to its full advantage. He often does temporary enchantments on his allies weapons and will often use his magic to create obstacles to tire his opponents out when they target him.

Equipment: Jack carries his enchanted robes, mask, and staff with him at all times. He carries several spell books and books on enchantments. These books are not with him all the time but he carries them with him on long term missions.

Skills/Abilities: Jack may not have the strength that most fighters have but he does have great stamina. His light robes also allow him to be much more mobile and faster than others. He his also a skilled mage. He also can do other types of enchantments such as magic resistance, physical boosts, durability, and sharpness for weapons as well as several miscellaneous enchantments. Though he cannot use spells in terms of saying the words, he does use his staff and cloves to channel his magic and cast spells that way. Though he isn't entirely skilled with a sword he is skilled with using the staff in a fight. His skill enchantments is at journeyman and is a novice at fire.

Other Information: His robes are enchanted to give him high resistance to magic attacks in terms of the element itself. For example: he could get hit with a fireball and it would feel hot but his clothes wouldn't catch fire though the impact itself would still hurt. His staff is also enchanted to be much more durable than it looks. It durable can be compared to sturdy iron.

drallinix: really going with your fighting style Hieledran would be the best, but that does require a bit of bio changing to fit, but if you just want to change the nation feel free to choose any you want.

BKburke: Only thing I see is the amount of magic you control. In the magic section I stated 3 points in magic to start. So I would say Journeyman in Enchantment, then Novice in one other element and not being able to dabble in multiple elements at the time. Other than that I would say he looks good.

[BKburke]

I had have that knowledge in those elements because it is needed to make an enchantment with that element. Otherwise he could only enchant with one kind of element. I'm not saying he can generally use them, just that he has the knowledge to use those elements to enchant equipment.

[drallinix]

could I have him from tachikawa but of hieledran descent?

[Arthanus]

BKburke: Well enchanting with actual elements is really only useful on weapons and such so focusing on one side element would be alright. and even then looking back onto it Enchanting isn't much of an offensive magic type. So are you making him as a support character who kinda just comes along for the ride or is he going to be able to help in combat.

drallinix: Ya that would be fine, if you can come up with a good reason of being able to get out of Hieledran. Remember Isolationists with crazy religious zealots getting away isn't easy.

[BKburke]

While he is more of a support character, he can still help using offensive magic. He would know how to be offensive with one type of magic while enchanting people's weapons with others. After all, some monsters are weaker to certain elements. Also, enchanting armor with certain elements gives it resistance to that element. So if we fight a fire monster then he could temporarily enchant someone's armor with fire to give them a slight resistance at least. It's just that I like making support characters because they are often neglected. Sorry if I'm confusing things.

[TheBigJon]

I'd very much like to join if that's alright!

[drallinix]

Ok I edited and made lengthened his bio a good bit to explain how his family got to Tachikawa and how they achieved their social status.

[Arthanus]

I can see where your coming from with it BK and support roles are always nice, But for now I'm going to say you'll still need to stick to three magic skill points. Can't just make the exception because your a support class and then have someone else come in complaining that they don't get as many. For now I would say pick one Element to have dabbled in and as long as you put effort into learning about the others with in IC posts I don't see why you couldn't get the knowledge of other elements quickly enough.

Jon: go ahead and make a CS.

And again with the side note. We need some range guys :) Magic, Bows, Flintlock Rifle I just need some ranged guys :)

[BKburke]

I'll dabble with fire but what about the non elemental enchantments? Those aren't technically elements but are sort of a basis of enchantments. For example: the mask that is enchanted to make his face look like it does in the picture, or enchantments make blades able to do more before getting dull. Just want to make sure where those would fit.

[drallinix]

uum Arthanos I edited him should he be ok now?

Edit: I also just realized if he is accepted Adrian is over ten years younger than anyone else.

[Arthanus]

BK: The others would fall into the generics of Enchanting so just having the Journeyman mastery of Enchanting would easily let you do that. I would say anything that doesn't specifically involve an element (like granting resistance to flames, cold, poison, ect or engulfing a weapon in flames, ice, ect) will fall into basic Enchantments :)

Drallinix: Alright the change to the start looks good (there is one mistake there with a random a= at the start of a sentence, but no biggie) I'll accept him and I will say thanks for putting up with my nitpicking and such.

[BKburke]

Ok Thanks.

So for his robes being enchanted to have high magic resistance overall, is it cool if I change it to where he took the enchanted robes from his parents before he left?

allright ill fix that im typing in the dark and not to worry about the nitpicking its a vital part of character development and integration.

[Arthanus]

Drall I just noticed what you said about the age thing and I think you might want to bump that up a bit going with the death of your wife being recent and you being a new recruit. that would of made you 17 when you got married (to a 15 year old) and then 15 when you overpowered a Vampire. Even with the extra strength of the wolf I think that's a bit far fetched maybe make your character 17 or 18 at that time and go for 21 or 22 years of age right now. gives you a little longer for your body to develop and grow before facing the vampire. (yay more nitpicking!)

[BKburke]

So is it cool if I make the robe situation edit in my bio?

[Arthanus]

Ya BK thats fine. go with that.

Also updated some of the stuff on the first page of OOC. Gave a picture of our little run down fort, and the insignia of the Order itself :)

[drallinix]

Nah man he is supposed to have been that young and he didn't overpower the vampire it easily overpowered him it was only through his masters death that distracted it enough for him to kill it. The first one he stabbed in the eyes with his blades which pretty much finished it the second one he actually turned into a full blown werewolf to kill. Even if it wasn't intentional. Plus him being this young could add an interesting aspect because I can only imagine what a bunch of veteran warriors would think of a young assassin.
