Character Sheet Skeleton

Bishop

Male
19
Appearance
173 cm
Mesomorph body, athletic build and a very fast runner. Dark grey eyes and dark grey hair with

this

hair style without the shaved stripe on the side, minus the face, and also longer haircut on the sides. Shaven.

Basic Appearance

with black saggy(not ass-out saggy) military styled jeans and black military running boots.

Abilities

-Shroud of Darkness-Why you can't see his face when he is hooded. Can cast it to blend with nearby large shadows(bigger than his body size), works with smaller shadows in darker places and even smaller ones depending on the distance of the person you're trying to hide from.
-Time Surge-Increasing the brain's activity, he is able to see things slowly and more clearly, ideal for analyzing situations when you only have a few seconds left, those seconds even turning to minutes. Combined with Limit Breaker and Movement Prediction it can even allow for the user to cut sniper bullets in half with a mana-infused butter knife.
-Limit breaker-By forcefully bringing out the muscle potential one has, it increases it's reaction time, speed and strength in order from highest to lowest. Downside-It causes muscle aching and if used multiple times a day it can lead to momentarily body paralyzation.
-Movement Prediction-It predicts the trajectory of an attack or anything moving for that matter. It gives the user ability to see when that object or moving creature will be a few seconds after and the path it will take. However it doesn't predict if the object will change direction mid-movement, that would be future prediction.
-Mana Infusal- It can infuse with mana an object of the user's choosing giving it special properties and increased statistics(butter knife cutting sniper bullets).
***Phantom***-The user is able to instantly teleport up to 12 inches in any direction, cast time and cool-down are 0. The user loses its inertia. if the user tries to teleport to a solid object, the ability doesn't activate.

Backstory

Hailing from Societas Academia, Bishop graduated as a Knight Mage. Reason he left? After learning all he could from the Academy, he simply had no reason to stay. When the opportunity presented itself, he packed up and left. The opportunity being a fellow scholar returning to the academy with an ancient tome. Luckily for Bishop, he was the first to hear of his finding. Quickly knocking the Scholar subconscious, he got the tome and left. Surprising enough, the tome showed only one ability, some kind of teleportation technique. Needless to say, Bishop got studying. Leaving the Societas Academia, he sought refuge in one of the subgroups of the Pagan Magi. A peaceful lot they were, not many questions, not many tasks. Using the cover he got from them, he studied the tome every single day. 5 months later, he was finally able to perform the ability. The special thing about it, was that it didn't need any measures to be taken or circles to be drawn to perform it and the mana cost to activate it was relatively low. That's what it gave it's value.
Again leaving the Pagan Magi, he ventured fourth into the unknown in search of..sating his addiction.

Personality

Adrenaline is his poison. A rather carefree and reckless nature, he often disregards others' safety, even his own at times, for different reasons. His value on life, as he sees it, is rather low. He doesn't take life for granted, actually it's the opposite, he cherishes every moment of it. But the same thing can't be said for others' life.
Always looked at forming social ties as a bother but he ended creating some anyway, that being during the time he was at the academy. After he left it, alone ever since.
Passionate about super power manga and ninja/assassin ones he adapted his real life style to his preferences. His ego raising with every successful stealth kill/kill in general(stealth for bonus) and sometimes even posing in cool positions after performing a kill.

Others

-Shadow Ring-Increases the user's speed by double every time he is out of sight from the target which must be at least 100 feet in range. The bonus ends when the target gets out of range. Choosing another target has a 5 min CD(cool-down) but this CD resets if the last target was killed. Also masks his presence including his mana waves and whatnot else for 24 hours after performing a successful kill.It does not stack but the bonus resets after every successful kill.
-Infinite Tsuku-hoodie- You pulled his hood down? Too bad, another one is already up under it(goes on forever, the last one disappearing after going down).

@Bishop

The problem that my co-gm and I am having is that there are already a bunch of dark characters in this RP as it is and we need more of a variety.

[Bishop]

@Prodigal Son the only dark thing I had was the hood and the ring...

[Prodigal Son]

@Bishop I'll let my co-GM explain.

[Cottonmouth]

@Prodigal Son the only dark thing I had was the hood and the ring...

@Bishop

While that might be the only immediate thing appearance wise. In the personality and the backstory it leans towards a more shadowy theme as well. And that's just something that a couple of people (including myself) have already done. It's gonna stack up too much.

[Bishop]

@Cottonmouth I don't know how backstories can stack up, how you behave in a situation is totally up to the writer. While he tries to stay within the boundaries of personality that he himself set, it all depends. On a side note, we may be dark themed, but we all change drastically in our personalities and whatnot. Ain't Felix good? That makes it like...1 good, 1 strict caring person(Japanese cook girl), the immortal fellow who enjoys a good battle, the one who uses the curses and is full of regrets, the one who adapts personality and my CS who enjoys being a ninja.

[Prodigal Son]

@Bishop Here's the thingThere was this part of the original post which contained the rules. One of them was that, your character has to be fleshed out. I am not sure if this character you have posted is a character you already made for another RP, but it sort of seems that way. And while you can drag and drop characters for different RPs, you have (at least for this one) to flesh out your character more than what you have done. Your backstory kind of is just, "I am so cool that I don't need to stick around no more. And then I will become Naruto by taking your tome away." All of these things that I have pointed out to you, are giant red flags that need to be addressed. I am not trying to disparage I am just trying to tell you what you need to improve on before we will let you into the RP.

[dndragons]

Character done I think. The history is a bit eh bit after being ill and brain locked but I think it came out alright. Had to try and determine a reason she would leave academia for Felix and I think I did that enough.

@dndragons

I'll read your post in an hour or so. A little busy at the moment. I skimmed over it like a minute ago, seems pretty good, but I need to finish reading it.

@Prodigal Son

I actually just read it after my friends canceled a queue in League of Legends causing us to wait like 5 minutes.

Your character is good, you're in.

[dndragons]

@Prodigal Son
Awesome, thanks. I might write a post or something later tonight or tomorrow then unless Felix does something.

[Prodigal Son]

@Skelace I need to know where Deston is, what city he is in.

[Skelace]

@Prodigal Son Son of a gun! I must have erased that line while I was reworking the post. He's in Chicago... I swear I wrote that down. My bad.

[Prodigal Son]

@Skelace@dndragons@ghost queen

I really don't feel like I should have to state this because it seems obvious. But if you have not read the previous posts in character, I highly recommend you do. There is some lore exposition and other little tidbits that make it almost essential to read all the posts.

Way ahead of you~ And I got a post done tonight. Being productive feel weird.

[ShiningSector]

I think I just pulled an all nighter...

I apologize for the delay; work tends to cover most of the afternoon and the evening for me nowadays.

Here is my CS - Please inform me if I need to make any changes.

Travis McGrath

Name: Travis McGrath

Age: 30

Sex: Male

Appearance:

“Shh, I’m focusing...And try looking intimidating.”

Abilities:

Like many of the Societas Academia, Travis has a very good understanding how magic functions and how certain spells are performed. Being an Untalent however, much of what he has learned is unfortunately outside of his realm of implementation and only gets by with the bare basics of each aspect. But to him, this is perfectly fine; the spells Travis can produce by himself are considered useful survival tools in order to help him get by.

His real prowess is through the deciphered tomes and runes recovered throughout his journeys, capable of extending his abilities beyond his current potential. Though if anything, they too are yet another means of allowing him dissect and better understand their magical functionalities and eventually reproduce their effects in more manageable and efficient methods.

Funnily enough, given his recent and occasionally perilous encounters, Travis has been seen to be a rather surprisingly athletic runner.

“Knowledge is power...”

Backstory:

Being an Untalent amongst a rather social community of more capable Talents can definitely be rough. Condemned to a lesser status because of one’s natural inability to coordinate with magic fluidly was the fate many Untalents within the Societas Academia faced almost daily. Travis however didn’t seem to be bothered by this too much. In fact, he was perhaps too busy studying and discussing theories to really care at all.

While as an Untalent and indeed had higher expectations set against him by his self-deserving peers, he enthusiastically conceptualized these endeavors as welcomed challenges in order solve rather petty societal crises to stress about. Though Travis was no ace mage and was more likely a magician as far as skills go, his main strength was his constructed knowledge base with a fierce understanding of the architecture of mana and magic implementation.

After years of hard study and grueling practice, Travis eventually achieved the rank of Aspect trainee and began the next phase of his training. Without any particular proficiency found in any particular set of spells, he would then opt-in into the Aspect of Scholar. As one would expect from his intuitive personality, Travis had felt right at home with his new position and became eager to set out for new discoveries.

What he didn’t know was how cruel and horrifying the world could be outside the Societas Academia. The concept of death was something many students were well versed in, some more than others, but to experience and its many forms was something rather undesirable. Thus for Travis, now a Scholar, would soon come to know and witness this concept on more than one occasion as he pursues his quest for knowledge.

“So I spoke to an ebony dressed lady from the Cult of the Enlightened. We actually had a pleasant conversation until I asked about soul weaving. She laughed. Her fur coat cried. Suffice to say, I left in a hurry.”

Personality:

Despite his humble demeanor, surprisingly as an Untalent, Travis is certainly not afraid to speak his mind and express his views when necessary, sometimes comical or sarcastic if it benefits the mood. Being an easily fascinated and curious sort, he takes his role as a Scholar by heart (if not seriously) and seeks knowledge whenever he can find it; until it gets him into trouble. Nonetheless, he does show great pride and devotion to his line of work, atypical as it may be.

Travis can sometimes be described as a pacifist or “pass-the-fist” as he himself describes it. He sees no need for violence and certainly rejects the notion of killing but acknowledges the need for self-defense if he cannot negotiate his way out of a troubling confrontation. Of course said confrontations are usually created by something he may have said or done without any harmful or insulting intent.

“When the going gets tough...See to it you’re not where the tough goes.”

[Bishop]

@Prodigal Son Ok, did some changes(personality wise and last sentences of bio) to my last CS post in the OOC. If you need me to remove any abilities or items just say so.

@ShiningSector

I pulled an all nighter as well. Feel like I'm gon' pass out but I should get out this one reply while I work on a IC post.
You're accepted, feel free to post your sheet in the characters section and start your first post. But I should warn you beforehand (this goes out to everyone as well) since @Prodigal Son is recruiting characters and writing them in 1 by 1 into the group with Felix, it might take a lil' bit before he gets to you due to the build up of players wanting to join at once. Hopefully it goes fast.

-PS, I got a kick out of that Soul Weaving quote at the end of the backstory section.
-PSS, I couldn't help but notice the Destiny avatar. I don't suppose you play on the ps4?
