Arcanic Disturbance

Hello everyone! I do not have a clear format and way I want to present my idea so I am gonna wing this description. Of course I have actual details but I am a selfish bastard muahahahahahahahahahahahaha....not the smartest though its ok I have made peace with this.

So imagine - Future setting, picture a cross between a world where we have tech and cross planetary travel and aliens nut at the same time the world is almost basic in its territories. 3 continents, in the story the main country we play in will have 6 countries, all with different histories and types of peoples and very different cultural taste. Magic is alive and well in the world, magic being existent before even the current civilization was born, and is the source of many major conflicts. There are towns and villages instead of cities, this being an AU to our world so expect some realism while a lot of the opposite.

We would have characters that all start off in one village or around, for whatever reasons, and we would all be magic imbued people. Some could be soldiers, others merchants, maybe even civilians. There will be a greater threat that will require strong characters.

Now this is important. I know a big problem is people getting bored, so I would want to be a very active GM with an active Co Gm to create world events. I understand everyone wants to be a badass but I do want a sense of realism. Like if you have a merchant with magical abilities of any kind obviously you wouldn't have the discipline that a soldier would have so if shit went down you probably would not be the first to jump to action. I want real kinda decision making.

BUT if you did not wanna follow the main story line and do your own thing with someone you can. I want an open world thing and I think it will work because I am sure enough people will be involved with the direct story line. Everyone will be affected by the story but you will be able to choose where you are when it happens.

If your interested let me know.

Bio:
Kyle was left on the doorsteps of the orphanage, that he would some day learn to call home in the city of Bludhaven, when he was a baby. He did not know his exact age, so the keepers of the orphanage decided his birthday would be the day they discovered him on their front doorstep. Kyle has not been able to find any information regarding his biological family, but he has not given up hope that one day he would be able to reconnect with his seemingly non existent mother and father. Even against the wishes of the Bludhaven Orphanage Keepers, who wished he would give up his distant dream. They believed Kyle was a part of their family, and that he did not need anyone who would abandon him. For the most part Kyle did believe and act like the orphans and Keepers were his family, and for nineteen years almost everything he did was for his orphan family, besides the occasional trip for bio fam info. The orphanage was given resources so that the children could be taught all school materials up to the end of middle school, so being the optimistic child he is Kyle took and passed several state tests that allowed him to receive a scholarship that could fund him through High School. If he did excellent in HS he would receive the opportunity for college.

His plan was rather simple in all realities. Kyle figured since he was smart, dedicated, and eternally hopeful he would go to a proper highschool, then go to college, then somehow use what he learned to make money for his family. He wanted to be news reporter, believing that being a reporter was a fun way to be able to brighten peoples lives with good news and that the job would make a lot of money. In High School Kyle was often picked on by others for a multitude of things. He had tattered and patched up clothing, he rarely had enough school utensils and other such items, he was always doing odd jobs for money, and he had a weird knack of never being outright upset or angry. He always a sarcastic line to deliver with his good intentions, and he was as stated before an eternal optimist which annoyed the crap out of other students.

Kyle was never given an outright proper reason to always be so optimistic and hopeful, so there isn't some huge backstory event that changed his personality forever which caused his powers birth. Kyle simply believed that good things will happen if the universe received positive energy, simply put. That being said he was no fool, he knew people did bad things and good things did happen to bad people and vie versa, but he never gave up hope that in the end good will triumph over evil.

A year after HS ended, and as he was walking home from a night time college class, Kyle witnessed a group of muggers assault a young women he was suddenly emerged in a past memory. He remembered reading of the heroes of old, specifically of a hero called Nightwing. How he was a shining symbol in this city before his death, and how the rest of his family were heroes elsewhere. So many heroes, so many connections, so many people who took on the cowl to fight crime like what Kyle was witnessing. Feeling hopeful and inspired, Kyle dashed over to the muggers in hopes to combat the three men and save the damsel in distress, with the goal to save her but also to feel what it felt like to do actual good and not just plan to do good later.

Immediately Kyle was stabbed in stomach. As he gripped the hilt of the knife that was impaled in his stomach, he realized that it should have been obvious this would happen. He was untrained, zero combat experience and skills, and he had nothing but his good looks and charm to assist him. Still though Kyle clung to the hope he could do something. His mind started to go blank and a lot of feeling left his body but he fought the incoming signals of the end. Kyle swung his right fist at a surprised mugger, catching his chin and sending the mugger backwards and on his ass. The other two muggers laughed at their companion, the turned their sights on Kyle. The original victim, the young women, seemingly disappeared in the surprise scuffle. As the two remaining muggers and a pissed off third mugger began walking towards Kyle, he was caught by the thought" Why did I do this? " But he fought the feelings and urges that came with the thought and his ideals shone brightly but figuratively, his passion and hope swelling inside. Kyle believed so strongly that he could get out of this situation even as he panted and struggled to stay conscious. Kyle gave a mighty shout, all his hope suddenly attracting the attention of a shiny light in the sky.

"Kyle Aarosin, you have shown within yourself the potential for great hope
Stay true with your ideals and use the power of Blue."

Suddenly a light blue ring found itself sliding on to Kyles finger on his right hand, and with a blast of blue energy the muggers were thrown back from Kyle. The bloody knife layed on the ground, with the knife wound rapidly healing. But Kyle was very much caught unaware of the power bestowed upon him, and lost control of all his new found power. Kyle was sent flying, at first just through the air but then suddenly through windows.

A long story short, Kyle took about twenty minutes to get a grip on his powers and as his abilities just appeared his ring was slightly overcharged. He used temporary abilities like energy constructs from the overcharge of energy, and caused quite the bit of damage unintentionally. Right about the time he was getting his powers in check two rather famed super heroes showed up to stop what they thought was a meta human attack, only to find a young man with new found abilities. Many questions arose, but as penance for causing so much damage Kyle was to go to Oliver Queen Memorial School, to better train his powers. He would still be allowed to do odd jobs for money to send to the orphanage, and any scholarship deal he had would be transferred over to the school he would now attend. Kyle had a secret reason though for wanting to attend the school though. Yes he knew this would be a better opportunity to help his family, but the ring had given him information that he himself had not known. His last name. Now he a name to go with faceless people. He had a lead and he knew going to this school would be the key to finding his parents.

Demon scoffed, bur waved his hand. He was going to go along with whatever needed to be done anyways more than likely. Too much had happened recently and so much was happening that Demon was not able to get a very good read of room. The people here were mostly strangers, people he has never heard of or met. Except Therma.

"I can speak for myself. Refrain from speaking for me."

Honestly Demon was tired. Mentally at least. He tugged at his collar, ready and eager to start storing energy again.

Explanation for 2.0

Hi OK so do not freak out for having such a different CS but I think I realized my problem. I do not usually make mistakes like this and it was because I was trying to be edgy and also not edgy at the same time. I took real life experiences this time form my own life, and I stopped trying to give Kieran a wicked edge.

My CS 2.0

Name: Kieran Damond

Image or Description:

My Appearance

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Orientation: Straight

Mage or Familiar: Mage

Magic Type: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Familiar, omit this entirely)

Ability: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Mage, omit this entirely)

Known Spells: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Familiar, omit this entirely)

Partner: (Leave this blank until your partner is announced)

Personality: Kieran is normally quite the cheerful fellow. He is not one to dwell on past mistakes, and prefers to smile through any situation than to act out of pure emotion in anger. To say he would act out of anger is uncharacteristic would be an understatement, but that is not to say he is not emotional. Kieran has and will made decisions based on how he felt, but he has always tried to be fair and to do it with a smile.

Biography: For as long as he could remember Kieran knew he was a little....different than other kids in his hometown of Colbar. Colbar is A small, coastal village known for its seafood industry and stark white cliffs. The hillside is rocky and not very good for agriculture. Is mainly a port city, and people here speak with a strange, northeastern accent. The town is closely packed, with some coastal villas and cottages having enough breathing room. Heavy rains and thunderstorms dominate the weather, and the city is famous for its lighthouses. Kieran though never liked living there with his family. He had a mother, Mary Damond current age 39, a father, Verdock Damond age 41, and an older brother, Conrad age 19. They were an average family, with his father working most of the day and his mother a stay at home mother. His older brother had recently finished school, but had no desire to continue his education. He wanted to move out as soon as he had more money saved, so he decided to find a job as soon as he finished High school. Kieran excelled in his academic, but hated living in Colbar. Up until the middle of middle school Kieran he did whatever he was told, went school, never caused too much trouble, was decently popular, did his homework, ate the food that was put on the table. But when he started high school something flipped in his brains.

He took a look around and realized that everything around him just seemed.....mundane. The Constant bad weather, the smell of fish, and more. Colbar was small, so pretty much everyone knew everyone, and Kieran hated it. That is too say he never acted out in anger because of it, but it was known that Kieran would smile through a polite conversation neatly discussing how he dislike living where he lived. When he was 13, Kieran started to think of any way he could to get out of Colbar as soon as possible. He knew he needed the basic essentials, and he knew that what he wanted was going to be a challenge. He was rather young. When he started looking into St. Fortunas he realized that this would be perfect. He had a small magical talent that he had practiced with, and started learning what he could on his own. While his family did love him, they did not love his magic abilities. His mother had been a mage a long time ago, and both his parents believed that magic was a very dangerous thing to use. At first they did not approve of what Kieran did in his spare time with magic, practicing and researching what little he could on his own, but when he was able to pull off qualifying for a scholarship when he was 15 they felt like they had no choice but to let him go.

Kieran would always appreciate his roots and his family, even if he disliked Colbar and knew his family did not completely approve of his decision. He was not sold entirely on what he wanted to accomplish in the end, he had only known about the world involving the sea and even in his research he had not settled on a single career, so as far as anyone knew he wanted to eventually become a magic teacher. Maybe one day he could even teach at St. Fortunas.

Kieran Damond Review

Alright, let's get into this, shall we? First off, this is not a bad CS, not bad by any means. You're just a few points shy of getting in, and we have just a couple issues that need correction or clarification.

First off, welcome to the Dead Moms Club! We have so many dead moms in this RP, good lord what is up with Prydainian maternity care? Were the characters of this class born through chainsaw C-sections? Is darwinism directly being applied through the maternity ward? Do only the strong survive? This doesn't need to be changed, I'm just poking fun at how many mothers have "died in childbirth" or otherwise met their grisly end in this RP. We might almost have more dead moms than live moms at this point. Feels like I'm GMing a Disney movie.

Also, I hope that having "Male" in your mage/familiar designation is a typo, unless you insist on having "male magic". Which might cross us off the list of PG-13 RPs.

Now onto the real issues. First off, your character's mom dies and the dad skips out on them soon after, leaving your character in the care of his brother. As feel-good as this is, this raises questions. How old was your character's brother when this happened? Was he already an adult, and therefore legally able to raise his infant brother? If not, then they both should have been put in the care of their closest living relative, or in foster care. Alternatively, you could tell us how old your character was when their father left. Did he stay with the boys until the older one was an adult, before mysteriously bailing? This needs clarification and can be built on to give your character a little more depth.

Also, this is just another small thing, but if your characters live in Colbar, isn't a job as a dockworker, fish packer, or farm hand more appropriate for the character's brother? The textile industry is heavily concentrated in Erridún, another city. I like that you're incorporating the cities into your CS, but Colbar is a port city with a heavy focus on trade, fishing, and agriculture. They also have an exquisite trolley system, so finding work as a trolley driver/mechanic/cleaner is also feasible.

Next up, this is the most common correction we ask for, so don't feel bad about it, but it is still important. Why does your character want to go to St. Fortuna's? He's working hard enough to get a scholarship, but why? How does this relate to his dream of being a world famous author? I'm not saying the two are mutually exclusive, but I want to see the connection. Is it an escape from poverty to the lap of luxury? Does he want to utilize not only the amazing history of the school, but the best education in writing and history available? Does he want to make connections with the wealthy and powerful and earn some favor from new friends? Why does he go to St. Fortuna's, and not simply join his brother as a worker in Colbar as soon as he is able?

Lastly, this was more of a formatting issue than a character issue, but could you keep your quiz questions with the answers? That way we can better understand the answers without us all having to keep 2-3 tabs open on understanding and interpreting what you've written.

Those are all the problems we have, I think they are easily fixable with a little clarification and the use of the copy/paste function. This is a well built character, you have a strong concept and they're fleshed out. A little on the darker side, but not too edgy to cross our lines. You just need a little bit of a push to scoot over the finish line, but I think with these corrections implemented, you'll get there. Once your made the edits, we'll happily review your character again.

This is Invader Len, signing off.

My Hider

Hi hi! First off I would like to say I love your energy! So...........motivated! Cheerful!

Second I would like to apologize. If you look at my previous posts in my profile it would be apparent I'm a stickler for details but I will Andy I wrote this CS early AM quite inebriated. So for that I apologize.

Third I am at work so I fixed what I could but I won't be able to add the questions to the answers for at least 7-8 hours. I was hoping that we could move along the vetting process now and I can just add the questions when I get home. But if not it's kewl dawg I'm all about that GM respect low key ya dog it? (I just about gave myself a heart attacks writing like that)

Fourth I changed it so the mom was hospitalized cause she a sick bitch instead of a dead bitch. I stay by this, I am a slight edge lord, and usually my CS are dark af but I realize it would be better not to have that in this rp lol)
