My next post should be along at some point tonight or tomorrow.
I'm so excited for this RP you guys don't even know! :D
@CaptainManbeard When can we expect a base CS? I mean I have the basics but I would like to flush out my character. :)
@CaptainManbeard
I suppose a compromise is, he's got some knowledge of Goblin locks. Not fantastically quite yet maybe? Say enough to work at it.
But those Goblin locks are going to take a little longer to work through let's say. He still has to carefully step his way through it, Every Goblin lock is a learning experience. But with every Gobby lock he learns something new or gets to hone what he knows and gets better everytime.
I mean 38 is plenty of time to learn true. But it's still lots of time to learn and get better.
As for lots of students fighting during the BAttle of Hogwarts. You know the real implications right? Lots of Firsties fought...without any combat spell knowledge. Alot of them would have died because they didn't know how to cast anything more then MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE an Expelliarmus. 3rd year and up they have more experience with casting Reducto, and other combat spells. The 3rds and up would have had more likely chances to survive. But alot of 1sts and 2nds. Not so sure. So alot of those Firsties and Seconds? May have died during the BoH...
Makes ya think huh?
@CaptainManbeard
As awesome as it sounds to have those skills. I am beginning to think that's a little op boss.
Being able to feel out a mechanical and magilock with wand work and a lock picking kit sure. But I feel like having an in depth knowledge of goblin mechanical locks would be abit overboard for a 38 year old wizard. Maybe someone in then 80s who has had time and has stolen siblin, dearven and gnomish lock text sure.
But I'm trying to make my guy have a little experience not tons of experience. He still has some room to grow.
Personally feel like if he's got knowledge on how to crack a gringos safe he's been working way way way longer then I want to portray, you know?
@CaptainManbeard
From the movies and books there is evidence that alot of Wizarding security is based around magic yeah, but we see Goblin security uses mechanical locks too.
But I would imagine that wards and barriers would be something he needs to work at as well. So his safe cracking would be part mechanical lock picking, magical lock picking and ward/barrier breaking as well.
So a little bit of both of column A, B C and D more or less.
I’m still here, I’m just not sure how Ryan would respond. ^^
@CaptainManbeard
Was thinking my fella is in his mid thirties, and for a while, was a nonnaffliated case. A contractor for whatever family wanted to use his services. A fence and a safe cracker would be perfect for a neutral party. Until maybe a few years ago when the Serpeverde family talked him into helping with silencing a "Rat" and to make sure he didn't get pinched in the Auror investigation he joined up officially
He's likely got maybe 9 to 12 years of experience. Having done this since his late 20s.
It's a specific experience, though, so it's not like he's a super experienced gangster.
