So many bosses. Scary. Geneva gonna have to up her tanking game if she gotta have to charge those kinds of people.

@Elle Santiago

Bosses? Is there a list, somewhere?

Dawn of The Heroes

@Blizz

Nuu! Hes too cute to be food! T^T

Dawn of The Heroes

@Blizz

Oh, I meant in terms of a starting location.

And Luci isn't food! D;

@Blizz

Kinda the disclaimer that comes with being a living human being:
'Caution, user subject to spontaneous absence or disappearance due to life...or, y'know...death'

If you're taking suggestions on settings and such, I could probably toss something your way.
>_>

Probably wouldn't be anything special and would range from 'elven tree village' to 'dwarf town built in a tunnel carved through a mountain' kind or thing.

As long as you can turn us in the right direction, I'm sure the growing group can build on the world enough to fill the gaps when you're not around. I've been hinting to it a lot, but with what you just said, I have to come out and directly ask if you have plans about how the rp would be starting.

Location...reason...

If its freeform, it would be good to state this. In the stead of a GM or CoGM, an idea of at least a starting point and its surrounding area would be considerably helpful. I understand that this is just an IntCh, but '<100%' could mean "absent for weeks" (And I understand school work and wouldn't blame you for needing time to further your future). Since you spent almost a year designing this world, I think it would be fair if the players at least knew where they were, should you even open an OOC...though that could just as easily be covered in the OOC.

Sorry, but a GM coming out and saying they probably won't be around is a good way to put people on edge...idk, at least for me.
There aren't many 'thought out' hard-fantasy threads in circulation, and I want this one to flourish.

@Alias
It isn't Divine or Darkness, so I'd assume so.

Dawn of The Heroes

@Blizz

Its a jackal!
Jackal!
Jackal?
Jackal!!
...
Jackal.

Getting paladin vibes. Like a bird-person whose a paladin.

@Elle Santiago
Well, it wouldn't be all the time, its not like Luci'd cheat by just burying Geneva. :D
*crosses fingers* >;D

But really, I'm sure teaching ice magic like 'cold resist' would be useful and shouldn't take too long if she already grasps the basics.

Again, not sure how everyone meets or what the plot is, but I'm sure we'll get there.

Dawn of The Heroes

@Hawlin Geneva and Luciel could chill with each other if they're friendly and Luciel can teach my newbie magic tank warrior the ways of Ice Magic.

@Elle Santiago

Lul puns :P

And nawh, I intend for Luci to be a sweetheart...but kinda spooky. Worst Geneva would have to deal with would be spontaneous snowball fights.

Dawn of The Heroes

Well...I hope they're not overpowered. >_<;

Luciel Lumiere

Name
Luciel K. Lumiere

Age
21

Race
Cervitaur
(Deer centaur)

Appearance

Luci stands at 5'10, not counting antlers. A spiderweave veiled mantle is clasped to their silver bracers and thrown over their back. Other than this, they're clad in light steel armor treated black and worn fairly sparsely to accentuate what his kind consider a lithe figure.

Personality
Playful and spry by nature, Luciel behaves more like a fawn of his kind, though groomed with etiquette and poise as to better exist among humanity. 'Common' not being Luciel's first language, he can be fairly literal and to the point at times but means well and strives to be polite above all else even when it may not be appropriate. This noted, such composure bleeds over into other emotions making it difficult to read his subtleties. While he isn't the most intimidating, misplaced jovial mannerisms can make an altercation fairly unnerving for an opponent. Apologies and backpedaling explanations aside, Luciel values efficiency in combat and isn't above attacking an unarmed or downed opponent.

Magic

Starting magic
~-Cryomancy-~
The clerics of Luciel's Moon Clan are proficiently versed in ice magic, passing down the knowledge to serve as small life skills or even debilitating attacks depending on the devotion of the caster.
Of the arsenal, arguably the most valuable has proven to be a form of 'resist cold'. Rather than sporting a barrier against ice magic, the spell instead allows the caster to better tolerate cold climates by preventing the damage of exposure. While this has its limits, chilly air shouldn't pose much threat during its maintained duration...however, Luciel's slender legs are less than practical in deep snow, which poses its own problems.

Deterrent magic is the next step up, providing one of the few spells which 'resist cold' applies to. Superchilling moisture in the air condenses the particles to create a snap-freezing fog which has a nasty habit of adhering to surfaces and causing temporary blindness or frostbite on exposed flesh. Armored targets can still find themselves bogged down by accumulating ice which, given enough time, has the potential to become immobilizing. Sustaining the spell can freeze calm pools of water.
A more controlled version can conjure small torrents of snow which obscure vision in the way a blizzard does, albeit for only a few seconds. This method, sustained, can also freeze water, though leaving it rough enough to cross with relative ease. Milder craft can allow a caster to pack a snowball out of thin air, given a moment to condense.

Assault spells are the bread and butter of conventional combat, ranging from brandishing a shield of ice to shattering said shield and hurling shards in a direction to carving through the air with concentrated frost.
The shield isn't the most durable and can probably soak a hit or two depending on the weight and force of the strike, but truly shines against projectiles as it can be expanded enough to provide decent cover as long as contact is maintained by the caster. Shards broken off by force cannot be launched as a counterattack and quickly evaporate as the shield is made from magic rather than moisture in the air.
'Hoarfrost' is the most standard attack spell Luciel has mastered, augmenting swipes of his sword to paint tiny spikes of ice onto/into a target. Similar to the snap-freeze fog, the ice can accumulate and weigh a target down if it isn't addressed, and a direct wound-causing strike forces slowly melting needles into a wound. Arguably a secondary deterrent, the pain can be considerable, and the follow-up injury of the needles tend to leave messy gashes and additional internal injury.

Starting weapon
Outside of natural weapons such as a well placed kick, Luciel totes a rapier styled to be mostly ornamental though still durable and keen enough to seriously injure. Silver-y accents and a rose-vine design along its unusually broad blade make it almost pass as a shortsword of sorts. Regardless, the weapon's primary purpose is to serve as a catalyst of sorts similar to a wand for the sake of spellcasting which functions in tandem with the silver claw'd tips of his left-hands adornment.

Belief
A beast of the Fay, Luciel's clan worshiped the moon as the weight that turns the world and brings seasons. In their legends, 'La Luna' was a spirit that painted existence as it's known, and after finishing her prophetic masterpiece of the stars, ascended to join her brother. 'Mir Sol' and 'La Luna' supposedly rule the heavens and etch the stories of all mortals into the infinite sea of stars.

Greatest Strength
Excellent runner and jumper, considerably moreso than most athletic bipedals, allowing him to be fairly nimble.

Other
- Speaks vith zeh slightest ouf accents vhich I intend on inflictink upon readers.

Well, my magic, if any, will be Storm/Wind. It fits him more.

EDIT: Aw, damn. I was planning to use a pre-existing character, but I recently got a better quality image and was going to upload it... then I found an image I've really wanted to use for a character. I build around the image I use, often, so it's hard to decide between them

@CollectorOfMyst

I know the feels. The hardest part of character creation is usually deciding on a pic. xD
