So like has anyone else noticed, there's a bunch of pairs?
The two orphans, the two drow (I don't know if this counts since my character is only half-drow, but I digress), the two necromancers....and so on and so forth. Or am I just crazy?
And I was trying to make them more general sounding, to me elemental fire magic = pyromancy, and elemental ice magic = cryomancy. Though i don't mind using the real names for them. This character was built to be a scythe wielding magic user (cause I saw a picture of a scythe and was like AWESOME!!!) But the player who uses the character is going for jack-of-all-trades.
I agree with the points @TheWizardLizard states. Skye is definitely not inner circle material, Anastasia is too quiet and most of the group probably would hold her handicaps against her (unintentionally), I do disagree about Johnny, only because he could at least temporarily 'weasel' his way in, I don't think he'll remain there permanently though. Nate would be my pick for the "fighter" role, but he I haven't seen him on here in a while, which is why I didn't mention him. Hey @Simple Unicycle where'd you go? No one else is a good pick really. I think the next best fighter would probably be pushed into the role unwillingly to be honest. Or Nick would get it BECAUSE he's somewhat insane and friendly, people could end up listening to him because they have no one else. It wouldn't even be out of the realm of believability, Hitler led a country and I think most would agree he was insane.
Honestly, I agree Johnny is the kind of asshole who could smooze their way to the inner circle.
I COULDN'T FIND THE POST. I'M FEELING REALLY STUPID RIGHT NOW.
However, if we're actually voting for a leader I cast my vote for Denny's character to lead. Or at the very the least be on the inner circle. (Uh Skye might follow him like a lost puppy...sorry, but that's honestly what I see my character doing when the world ends. Find a palatable leader, with charisma, poof their word is law...he's a bit of a follower I think.)
Anywho, I think that there should be at least one fighter who is in the inner circle, and Lara should definitely be involved with the inner circle. She being the closest to a health expert we have.
I'm still working on her, so there's that. But a little teaser has never been remiss before :p
Also, I need to know if my character is to over powered either by equipment or skill.

Personality: Emily is a somewhat shy, and socially awkward girl. However she's cheerful, and friendly if given a chance to get to know you. She's fairly laid back, except in high stress situations, at which point she can ramble a bit, stumble, have difficulty meeting anyone's eye's. She also has low self esteem issues. Not horrendous, but they're present. While stuck in the game world, she comes out of her shell a little more, isn't as shy. However, she will have bouts of depression and anger due to her situation. For the most part though, she's kept her head high and her upper lip stiff, this situation has given her a chance to prove herself, to herself.
History: Emily has been playing RPGs for several years now, however she wasn't ever really interested in playing a MMORPG, but her brother was off at college, she was bored, and so she decided to check out an MMORPG. Googling up MMORPGs, brought a list up, clicking on one of the links brought her to a home screen talking about a massive patch that was going to be added to the game, offering more skills, and a whole new land to explore. Excited about finding it, she clicked register, which populated both the register screen and the log in screens. The username and password were filled out, saved to the computer's memory. 'What luck' she though...erroneously. She played for several days prior to the patch going live, unsure if she wanted to make her own account. She decided that she'd check it out after the patch and if it was any good, then she'd make her own account. Excited she finished for the day, not returning until the day the patch came out. She went to play, pulling up the site, and loading it up, but then she got the shock of her life. She was stuck in the game. Thus started her adventures in figuring out what the hell happened, and how to get home. In the meantime, She'll work on collecting some of these skills, because that's what got her into this mess, and she might as well do it.
Pets?: Lady Lenore, type: "Witch's Familiar" Sub-type: Black Cat. (The cat in the Avatar picture.) Lady Lenore increases magical power by 50% within any magical subset skill so long as skill level is greater than C-ranked. (If Character reaches EX rank in specific magic branch it is increased to 75%) raises magic defense, and while out can absorb three low level magic attacks per day. (So basically a simple magic attack. And it's per day, not per battle.) Can harvest magic component cat's hair from the familiar. Has no attack capabilities.
*Edit* if everything else is fine I'll write out personality and history. The only things I think I'm missing still. (Cause those are the hard parts.)
