Name: Kodor
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Tall and strong, with long hair and a wild look in his eyes, like an untamed beast. Kodor is dressed in a modest selection of hides.

Personality: Kodor is a noble savage with a fiery temper and a penchant for extreme violence. In battle, he is liable to be possessed by an extreme bloodlust, entering a berserker state.
Despite this, he has a primitive sense of community. To him, the protection of his tribe is more important than anything else. The tribe protects each other and helps each other, and in the outlands, this is essential for living another day.
Kodor, given his life, also believes that might makes right.

Abilities: Kodor is immensely strong and durable, raised in the harshest climates and fighting dangerous monsters. Moreover, he's fit to bouts of berserker rage. When he enters such a state, he grows frighteningly violent, able to ignore pain, fear, and fatigue until he bleeds out or the enemy is destroyed. Even allies are recommended to stand back until he calms down.
Skills: Kodor is actually cunning, and skilled in melee combat. He prefers large, heavy weapons such as battleaxes, but he's no stranger to his fists or improvised weapons.

Brief Backstory: Kodor hails from the farthest reaches of society, wherein dangerous beasts and cryptids still walk and any civilization remotely close dare not tread, lest they lose their life. There, Kodor and his clan grew as savages, living off the land and eating the monsters that sought to destroy them.
Very little is understood about Kodor's tribe or how they lived. What is known is that when the wizard explorers found him, he was roasting and eating the corpse of a dragon.

After a short battle and some very difficult negotiations, it was decided that such a find as a lost tribe, let alone one with Kodor's assets, was best put to use if he was assimilated into society. From there, he could provide tons of info about his homeland, and perhaps even serve as a guide.
As he was already acquainted with the idea of magic and clearly had experience fighting mythical beasts, it was decided the best place for him to receive an education was Ishikawa, which was no stranger to dealing with magic and odd things.

Am I the only one who feel sorry for the Wizards?
Firstly that's an incredible way to meet someone.
Secondly... poor dragon :( I'm sure Kodor was nice and let the wizards keep the valuable bits and pieces he couldn't eat. xD

@Damiann47: I do have to point out that 5'5 is actually fairly tall for a Japanese girl, but nothing looks bad.

@sassy1085: When they're done I'll look them over.

@Rakurai: I'd like to know how effective his ability to enchant is, but other then that he looks fine.

@IncredibleBee: No.

@ProjectOdin: When he's done I'll take a serious look at him.

@IncredibleBee: No.

Ouch xD I'm guessing you and IncredibleBee have some sort of history xD
I was thinking the character might be a difficult fit for the roleplay (can't see him as a student, nor does he have any magic potential). But I'm going to admit I didn't expect a two word response to an entire character sheet xD

Anyway, onwards to what matters (to me)~
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "Effective", but I'll elaborate and hopefully that's cover it;

Reliability: His enchantments will generally be reliable, else he wouldn't be able to make a business out of it. Might be a malfunction here and there for laughs though.

Duration: This varies from enchantment to enchantment, some would be disposable one-use only. While others might last a 2~3 days if it does something petty. Like a cursed doll that randomly warps itself near the target every few hours.

Strength: I intend for his enchantments to largely be prank-oriented. But for more power oriented items... I mentioned a magic-amplifier in my post so I'll elaborate on that. Essentially if someone where to cast a fireball and a teacher would grade it as 50/100, the amplifier would increase the spell to 51~54/100. So nothing noticeably major, but enough to push someone a bit further. The item would also be a one off usage thing too, and obviously it'd be risky as I imagine the faculty wouldn't appreciate cheating like that.

@Rakurai: Honestly it's more that the bio is so unfitting tonally and doesn't make sense in-universe that's the issue. There's nothing that would make it acceptable and I'm kind of baffled it was applied in the first place.

... Anyway you basically worked out what I meant by effectiveness. That all seems fine, accepted.

  • Name: Yukimura Sora
  • Age: 17
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Doppelganger--which is either a race or a very extended family with a peculiar ability, people aren't entirely sure. The only thing that differentiates them from normal humans is the ability to change their appearance, which has its own limitations without greater magical ability to, say, actually make themselves lastingly stronger and fitter.
  • Appearance: Generally this. As a whole, Sora tends to prefer being small and out of the way, which is why her general height hovers around 4'7 to 4'9.
  • Personality: Despite, or perhaps because, she can look like anything, Sora is shy. Frustratingly shy, with difficulty holding a conversation until you've spent weeks talking to her... and don't surprise the girl too much. If she's drawing or reading, this is very easy to do, since she's liable to get absorbed in what she's doing and blissfully ignore the outside world. Strangers tend not to realise that she's actually having difficulty speaking to them, though, because she's not the most expressive person ever.
  • Abilities: Obviously, Sora has the ability to alter her appearance, which she's rather reluctant to do in public because she only recently learned a spell that sizes her clothes to fit. She's also rather wary of messing with the structure of the eye, so she wears glasses rather than trying to fix that herself.
    Given that to not mess up with often-changing sizes she has to have a good idea of judging sizes and distances, it is perhaps unsurprising that Sora has an avid interest in magic involving physical dimensions and teleportation. Consequently, she knows the aforementioned clothes-adjustment and two teleportation spells: one is strictly line-of-sight and only about the size of the room... the other she has no idea where she'll end up and often uses entirely on reflex when startled. She's ended up on the roof before.
  • Skills: With her main hobby aside from reading being 'drawing', Sora's got remarkably good art, though her ability to put together plots is terrible--fortunately, when she decides to draw manga of some description, the plot is generally not important. Given that she can actually model how she wants characters to look, it's easy for her to get appropriate references.
  • Brief Backstory: As a child, Sora had a few awkward... accidents resulting from her ability and lack of clothing adjustments, which probably contributed to her difficulty in getting on with people. Fortunately, she got over her caution about changing at all before attending Ishikawa, making the note on her application about not relying on photographs to find her in classes actually relevant.

I'm now debating if I should make another to act as a romantic foil/childhood friend or something.
Maybe just make her another student or something idk.

Any who, please do tell if I need to change something ^^

@ClocktowerEchos: You can keep his alchemy skills, but if he's also a prodigy potionmaker I'd say tone them down to just being very competent for his age as opposed to exceptionally skilled.

@Slendy: Alright.

Also, second character(who was mentioned in the OP) up in the characters tab.

The bio totally makes sense in-universe. There's still lots of untamed and unexplored lands in the world, from northern tundras, deep forests, barren deserts, and the secret underground second layer of Earth hidden below Antarctica. And in this scenario it's got, like, minotaurs and stuff.

And a school contains professors. Professors actually usually engage in scientific studies, and a person who's grown up apart from any known civilization is a huge find. They're especially helpful if they know about the area being explored and its flora and fauna. So knowledge about Kodor's homeland is useful to biologists, archaeologists, alchemists, monster studies, etc.
Reintegrating Kodor into society by itself is a psychologist's dream study, a task that could earn a Nobel prize.

I mean, a 22 year old person is probably more likely to be studied at a university rather than a high school.
