@Lucius Cypher Thanks, I think Noisy Assassin will probably be an Artificer... yea, that's kinda a Bard.

@Unlucky0013, @RoflsMazoy

Are both of your CS's finished and ready for review?

@Lucius Cypher

Honestly, just looking at the image makes me want to hug the guy. He's like a teddy bear with a heart of gold.

[Lucius Cypher]

You forget Windel, that he's still a teddy bear. And them fuckers are scary.

[Scarifar]

Don't mess with dem teddy bears.

Interested in joining this and I'll open up with a question regarding the Mage class avatar skill.

Monodextrous Casting: Enables you to wield a melee weapon in one hand.

Would this allow you to wield ANY melee weapon or just a staff in one hand?

[Lucius Cypher]

Technically you can use a staff in one hand, as a casting catalyst. As a striking weapon you use a staff with two hands.

So yeah we're going to need an errata, but Monodextrous Casting allows you to use a one-handed weapon in your off hand. No pistols.

[Ashifili]

Alright, let me just run my Avatar idea through here before I get started with tapping away.

Midnight Soloist

First ability grants an extra mechanical arm thing per level. At level 2 (her starting level), she'd have two of these arms. Due to this ability, she can not equip any sort of weapon or shield.

Second ability is for any of those arms (or all of those arms) to turn into piledrivers, capable of doing either true damage, knockback, or armor-breaking. Still deciding on which one. Each singular attack is fast and powerful, but has a long cooldown time.

The underlying idea is that each new ability will grant the arms another method of attack (such as cannons to rocket punches to swords to whatever), though every attack is going to have a long cooldown. As she gets more and more arms, that cooldown is effectively lowered, as she has more arms to attack with, and thus, can alternate between them at shorter intervals.

I want to say that she'd be classified as a Rogue, due to eventually having both melee and ranged attacks, in the form of different arm-modes, but Rogue classes doesn't have a 'mixed' archetype...

@Unlucky0013

Aw snap. We have our first Ebony Stryker. Accepted. Please place her in the Character Tab.

@RoflsMazoy

He seems good to go. Just know that skills that are not passive usually have a cool down factor involved, though I think you're already aware of this. Anyway, I'll let Cypher pass judgement on whether you're allowed as a Sweeper or not. Other than that, accepted on my end.

[Unlucky0013]

@TheWindelwoot woot ^-^ thank you

*writes down 'her' pronoun for future reference*

[McFazzer]

Give me your judgement! Made some changes from the past in avatar abilities. Motivational Music now buffs specific stats, but no control over which stats, it has a drastically less cooldown Stuck with the Rangers though. Maybe I'm a bit sentimental :3

Alex Coleman

Appearance (Real Life):
Height: 165 cm
Weight: 65 kg
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Name: Alex Coleman
Age: 15

History: Alex was a quiet kid. He didn't fuss and he didn't complain regardless of what happened even that one time he was hit by a bus. When he finally turned 13 Alex was able to enter Deep Ground and was quite surprised. He chose the Assassin class because he figured the Avatar made for him would reflect how he was, hidden and unnoticed, but instead it gave him abilities to do with what he desired the most instead. Alex wanted to be seen and to be noticed to be a part of the world, to be the centre of attention, so he got the ability "Soundtrack of Life" making his Avatar emit music whenever he performed a significant event.

This led to him being somewhat notorious as the Noisy Assassin. When Alex made it to Level 2 and he got a new ability he hoped it would be something more useful. It was, barely. His "Fireworks" ability changed the cosmetics of all explosions he causes into fireworks with a random colour, it is also notable for having the first decent effect: a 5% increase in an explosions splash damage, slight flash-bang and the rarest burn chance. Level 3 came and with it Motivational Music all but confirmed to Alex that he should be an Artificer.

Personality: Considerate, polite and withdrawn. The withdrawn gets replaced with cheerful and welcoming while playing Deep Ground

Appearance (Avatar):
Avatar Class: Rogue - Artificer
Avatar Title: Unrelenting Jukebox
Avatar Level (Initial): 3
Avatar Guild: The Fanged Rangers

Avatar Abilities:
Perks:
Vicious Strikes: Melee damage increased by 20%

Skills:
Soundtrack of Life: Fitting music plays when Jukebox performs a significant event
Fireworks: Give explosions a firework cosmetic, a random colour, and a 5% increase in splash damage, a 50% weakened flash-bang effect and a 1% chance to set on fire.
Motivational Music: Can only be activated when Soundtrack of Life is playing. All allies in audible range of the music get a 25% increase in base abilities based on song. For example Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” will increase movement and attack speed while Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly With Me” increases evasion. Lasts as long as the song. No control over the song. 1 minute charge with a 10 minute cooldown.

@Ashifili

Sounds more like she's an unconventional warrior. Most rogues are more sneaky types like Assasins, physical range like Rangers, or gimmicky like Architects.

Also how many arms would she get per level? Does that mean at level 9 she'll have up to 9 mechanical arms? Or she'll get an arm every time she unlocks an Avatar Ability, which would total up to five at level 9?

For her second ability no true-strike. You can either make it knock-back and make it more akin to a hydraulic push or armor piercing (Negates up to 20% of armor-based DR).

Also as far as combat goes, here's a general rule of thumb: One post = One Round = One Minute.

Don't get too crazy with what you do in one post. Unless you do have such things as speed boosts or extra limbs to work with, don't expect to be able to pull off a long chain of combos in one post. You have, at most one minute to do something. I trust that you'll all be reasonable with it, as in you'd best not be able to clear 50 yards within a minute, or string together 10 attacks in the span of thirty seconds unless you have an ability that would grant you so many. Take into consideration some other factors too: obstacles and the field of battle. Not everywhere is going to be a nice flat city scape. Sometimes you'll literally be fighting an uphill battle, which means anyone at top has a pretty good chance to hitting anyone below them. Attacks of Opportunity all around. Also if you got a lot of heavy equipment, like big ass armor or a bunch of giant weapons, don't think that it won't slow you down or make you a least a bit cumbersome. Ya gunna fat roll.

I better get moving!

Appearance (Real Life)

Height: 5' 2"

Weight: 120 lbs

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Name: Michelle Kine

Age: 13

History: Michelle was born and raised by her mother and father, both of whom were successful in academics and DGO, her father being an electric Mage and her mother being a Berserker. As a result, Michelle was often compared to her two parents, and was expected to be just as successful as they were. Michelle tried not to let it bother her, though, and only wanted to enjoy herself. Her parents also approved of her trying to be herself, as they didn't like the comparisons either, and wanted Michelle to make her own mark in life. As time passed, Michelle grew, and was finally old enough to dive into Deep Ground. From there, she set forth trying to make her own name within the community, using her own strength and willpower. However, it didn't hurt that she took a few traits and qualities of her parents'. She is their child, after all.

Personality: Michelle is quite a happy and outgoing person. She gets along well with others, and often acts in an innocent and cheerful manner. Of course, Michelle isn't really as innocent and pure as her initial first impression would give. She is capable of swearing like a sailor, and takes great pleasure in doing so (in private when only friends are allowed to hear). She is also loyal to friends, and does her best to make sure she never lets down her friends.

@RoflsMazoy

Looks good to me, though like I said it's going to be assumed you're just a street-level Sweeper. As in you're one of those "Sweepers in name" kinda of guys, since your CS doesn't really go into much detail what he does for the Sweepers. Ima tell you straight out: They're bugger.
