> If you play Team Fortress 2, I'd like to think of Darthalia as like a Medic there. As a newbie starting out, being heals-on-wheels is all you're good for. But with battle experience and knowledge acquisition and usage, you become just as dangerous as the next guy and will catch enemies by surprise because they underestimate your fighting ability (while still essentially being heals-on-wheels XD) I love that :D, while saying "She is a potion dispenser" I was thinking about the engineers little healing thing, But yeah, first just throwing potions at people then sneaking up and shooting them with an arrow in the face, perfect :D, while still throwing potions at people XD

Haha, Engineer and Medic are two of my favorite classes there (just underneath Pyro, as you can tell from my avatar XD). It's fun whenever I'm medic and healing someone, Spy comes up behind me for a backstab but fails, and he continues trying to do low damage stabs to kill me, meanwhile I just casually crack his head open with a couple Bonesaw whacks before returning to my patient. Never underestimate The Medics =)

Mastrix's "I am better than all of you" attitude and the fact that for some reason she keeps referring to everyone as mortals is rather cute. Cute as in I'm going to enjoy giving her a reality check. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

I love everyone's posts :] I need to read and post today, sorry if I'm a little slow!

Nah, you're fine. Considering I post on the exact opposite time as everyone else (you all seem to post only when I'm asleep) you're probably still doing better than me.

Here's my CS, tell me if anything's wrong with it **Appearance:** (I couldn’t find a picture) Steven has blond, spiky hair and blue eyes. No other distinguishing features. **Name:** Stevenesky Ritrock **Race:** Human **Age:** 15 **Alignment:** Luminous knights **Personality:** Steven comes off as somewhat indecisive but in truth, he doesn't like to do anything before he has all the information. Steven doesn't like to be wrong and tries to avoid that most of the time, but can be quite indecisive at times. Also, he usually thinks to himself and, as a result, can seem to be fairly unobservant. Additionally, Steven’s opinion is easily swayed by others and he often keeps to himself, which has led to some situations in the past. **Bio:** Steven was born a non-mage to 2 mage parents who decided to hide their magic from Steven. Life for Steven was a little lonely as his parents were mages. Even if he wasn’t aware of it and no one brought it up, he felt the effects. One day, he met the son and daughter of a local noble. Not knowing his standing, he befriended them anyway. The daughter (Esmerelda) was sickly and Steven was an indoors kind of kid so he only played with her the few times she went outside. The son (Drakul) was rather pretentious and had plans to be the greatest Luminous knight ever. After a few years, Esmerelda’s condition got better and Steven followed Drakul because of his (false and baseless) authority. It was a fairly happy time. Then, his parents died from an illness. Having nowhere to go, Steven was adopted into the household of Drakul and Esmerelda’s parents and lived some more. Over the years, Drakul trained to become a Luminous knight, and following the suite, so did Steven. There were official instructors for his dual small weapon training, but it was clear that he was looked down upon, being the son of 2 mages and a commoner in a noble family, so he spent a lot of time outside. One day, he found a hunter with really good accuracy, so Steven asked to learn from him. He was pretty good at it and kept going with it, in addition to taking lessons with dual daggers. A few months later, Drakul and Steven went to become Luminous knights, along with some of Drakul’s noble friends. After the basic training in which he mastered his bow skills as well as his dual wielding skills, and he found someone to teach him martial arts, so he could kick people while using his bow. Drakul and friends also got through. At the time of initiation, Steven knew it would hurt a lot, but he was worried about Drakul and co, Nobles who really hadn’t felt pain before. The initiation hurt a lot, but Steven found that it wasn’t as much as he expected. But after he tried to find Drakul, he found that the initiation had changed him and made him quieter. He almost didn’t talk at all. Neither did any of his noble friends. Steven noticed that he was more responsible, and less pretentious, which was good, but odd. Shrugging that aside as an overall positive thing, Steven focused on being a good Luminous knight because that was what he had joined for and he wanted to prove that he was worthy to be in a noble family. **Initial spells/techniques:** _Arrow of light_: Steven coats an arrow with Luminosity making it stronger and giving it anti-magic properties. That said, it’s a low level spell and the damage increase is small. Additionally, he can change the shape of his arrows, giving him some versatility. _Sun’s blessing_: Steven can coat his body with golden light, enhancing his speed, strength and stamina. The aura burns his enemies. Still weak as Steven is just a n00b. Negates low level magic because it's luminosity. Additionally, Steven can imbue Sun's blessing on an object or an ally to give its buffs to said object or ally. He can also control it to an extent, for example, only activating it on his arm or something, in case he needs to be conservative. _Rain of light_ Steven shoots an arrow upwards infused with Luminous power which splits into a hail of arrows made from the power of Luminosity. Has the magic cancellation properties and disappears after a time. **Skills:** _Bow mastery_ Steven is really good at using the bow. _Really close combat_ Steven is also really good at dual wielding small weapons, such as short swords or daggers, and martial arts. _Fast thinking_ Steven thinks so much that his reflexes are affected by it. In tight spots, things seem to slow down for Steven giving him time to think of his next actions. This doesn’t increase his speed, but it allows him to react much faster than the average man. _Instinct mode_ Contrary to his personality, Steven has good instincts, which he usually never uses. But when he’s in a tough situation, there are times when his body automatically tries to deal with the situation, unconsciously guided by his needs while he is able to think consciously throughout. During instinct mode, he is usually panicking or needs to shut off the world around him in an intense situation and he loses touch with reality, instead being absorbed in his own thoughts. **Combat strategy:** Steven usually takes a supporting role, shooting arrows into the ranks of the enemies. However, should they break through the ranks, he switches to his close combat mode which combines his body enhancing spells with fast thinking and instinct mode to destroy his enemies. His preferred method of fighting is still ranged attacks, however, and he is less inclined to be in close quarters. **Unique equipment:** Standard issue armour, bow and daggers.

Umm... Regarding one of your spells. I don't think you can use Luminosity to heal yourself. Laue said it was strictly an Anti-Magic tool. It has no properties other than negating Mana.

alright, let me fix that

I would also like, as an idea, later on in the story, that the dwarf that i met in my opening IC is also a mage who later helps me out with a lot of stuff. Information Broker... etc

Hello! So i was watching this from the interest check up till now, but have been really sick, and unable to bother with my computer much. Is there any chance i can jump in late? Maybe there's a special role that needs filled?

create a CS. Always spots open :)

oh and i need to talk to you SaekoGami. PM when you, thanks

Dys's post is out, I hope it's okay that I did that with the bandit... I figured that's what she would have done.

@Lord Santa: The body enhancements you describe are Ki-Tan (which is mentioned in my initial post), an advanced technique generally not available to... ahem... n00b level characters. Breaking the limits of your character's body isn't really that awesome when they haven't even reach their limit yet. While they may use this or even more powerful functionality later on, it is not a technique taught to grunts. @Aphelion: Read your IC. If I didn't know any better, I would think you knew what's going to happen next. Creepy.

Alright, there you go. Also realised that sun's blessing and enhancement could fall under the same hat so I fused them and came up with another skill.

Could someone save me please :)

@Lord Santa: As Rultaos said, Luminosity retains the same basic properties no matter it's shape. While Ki-Tan can be used to surpass the natural limits of the body even with Luminosity, it cannot alter your vision. Luminosity does only one thing - negate any other kind of magic. How it is delivered is up to the user. Of course, there are various improved variations of Luminosity, yet it does not change it's basic functionality into anything else. Granted, due to various reasons Luminosity's limitations could be altered later on, but it would be during some significant plot events.

Alright, there. Would a rain of light arrows do?
