  • "Psychic" character - Depends on what you mean by psychic. Just remember that every power should have a visual medium.
  • Energy blasts - Sure, seems simple enough.
  • Plasma/fire/lightning elemental - Fire and lightning are fine. Plasma, is a bit iffy. Would be risky even for you character.
  • Maybe telepathy? - I doubt you can have traditional telepathy since you'd need some sort of medium or conduit to transmit your thoughts.
  • Energy constructs as telekinesis? - Like a hand or something? But yeah, that idea sounds alright.
  • Potentially a technology theme, make him a magitech specialist - A mage that specializes in artifacts. Technology and magic don't mix well, but I suppose you could try.
  • Fuzzy on origin, maybe magic cult of some kind on earth? - Like? Cults are kind of illegal in both the magical and human world though.
  • Cult clashes with science/tech theme that "psychic" powers imply - Not sure what to say about this one.
  • Maybe magitech research facility? - Like I said, magic tends to impair technology so they don't function well together.
  • Either way, magical background - Again, not sure what to say about this one.


Just remember to keep your character simple; you can get to the complex stuff during the RP. Everyone's a teenager and basically a novice when it comes to magic.
The RP's up.

@Dead Cruiser Want to discuss here or through PMs?

@Ayemdar No pressure. This is a casual RP, so you can take your time and pace yourself.


Four Winds

Illuminated by what appeared to be a miniature sun, the headmaster sat in front of his desk and staring at him were the stack of registries of the newest addition to the Four Winds roster. With a lit cigarette in his mouth, Jasper scanned through each file.

"More unpolished gems, huh?"

He thought to himself as he leaned back on his chair, moderately inclined and slowly blowing out several clouds of smoke. Each puff eventually congregated around the sun-like sphere at the center of his office, providing some shade and dimming the room in the process.

Interrupting his little review, was noise coming from the outside. Slowly standing up, he walked towards the windows and slightly parted the curtains from each other, only to gaze upon the group of students that were heading towards their most hallowed halls.

"Definitely an interesting bunch. Noisy though" he said as more puffs of smoke came out from his mouth.

Individuals from all walks of life had gathered, and if it wasn't for the language barrier that existed between most of them, they would have probably started conversing with one another. Fresh faced and mostly naive, the new students of Four Winds gathered in front of the institute's front gates. Surrounded by a lush and expansive garden and loch, they were finally at the doorstep of somewhere they would be accepted wholeheartedly for who they were and not feared for what they were capable of. This was truly going to be their second home.

However, despite their presence, no one was actually catering to their arrival. For a supposedly renowned institution, this was definitely unprofessional.

OOC: Use this opportunity to interact or maybe you could do something about the lack of personnel, up to you. I just want to see how your character reacts to certain scenarios. Don't worry, I just wanna see what I'll be dealing with before the trial by fire opening ceremony starts.

A one-tailed kitsune is basically a fox igyo.
@Masaki Haruna Uhm, nope. Not at the moment.
@JanuaryNo problem, man. Go ahead.

@UberBlutwurst That's alright dude. Feel free to join if you change your mind.

@KOgaming Oh, okay then. Just wondering, does anything change in her appearance?

@Masaki Haruna That's more like it. Fits well with her kitsune theme. Cool.

@Sodium Alrightie then, nothing wrong with that.
Hey there guys. Let's see what we have here.

@Ayemdar Everything is good to go. Anna is now accepted.

@Scio Would the hatsudo class include summoning familiars?
That would be correct.

@Scio I was thinking of a musician character that either summons and controls a companion through music or he himself changes but only for the duration of the song.

Thoughts?
I see no problem with that; we just have to discuss the details of that concept.

@RumikoOharaEverything seems fine up until the abilities. You don't need to state that she's an "extreme" Igyo-type. I don't mind all the physical enhancements she has, but I don't like the whole quantification thing and specifics regarding her abilities. Everyone's supposed to start out as beginners and are relatively weak. Hearing sounds either too faint or outside of normal human ranges and being almost impossible to sneak up on or surprise seem too much. Enhanced hearing would suffice. Same thing goes for her vision; just mention that she has cat-like vision or enhanced vision. As for those tail quirks, I don't mind their habit of entwining. As for her so-called counter balance, you could just say she's acrobatic or agile which would already encompass better finnese and overall movement. Lastly, the whole "35 mph for about 100 yards", "combat speed where she moves twice as fast as the fastest human", and the bit regarding her resting and charging period. That's too much; at best, she's an above average athlete when it comes to those physical feats. And quantifying with time doesn't translate well in text-based RPs. Those things are for me to decide and usually woulbe post-based instead of "time". Remember, she's just 15 years old. Keep things simple, man. Everyone will get stronger, no need to rush. Sorry for being strict, even I don't like doing it.

@Mercurial Simplicity is beauty and Enver is one of the best exampes of that. If you think of it, almost all types of abilities have been used and are technically unoriginal. You make a character unique based on how they act. I'm expecting good things from this man. Accepted!

@Masaki Haruna Still don't know what her martial art is about aside from having a fox motif. Also, could you remove that tidbit about my comment about kitsune magic. That's really not needed. Thanks, man. Anyway, accepted.

@Sodium I don't see anything wrong with Arthur. I just have one question, aside form summoning a sword, is there anything special or notable about it?

@KOgaming I like her; just remove that part about lifting whole cars. She'll get to that point, but not at the start. Also, you mentioned that she has ursine physiology, so I thought that she was an Igyo-type, but you mentioned in her skills something about being able to shut off her powers, which points to a Henkei-type. What is really is her ability? And what specifically is altered in her form?

@Jay Kalton Can't wait man.

Also, I'll be leaving for a trip in a while. My internet access will be limited if not completely absent. Probably for a day or two.
@Ayemdar For uniformity, at least in CS content, could you include her nickname in the name section. Then the likes and dislikes, in the personality section. Thank you; sorry for my tendencies when it comes to text arrangement.

Other than that, everything seems fine. Just a minor alteration for her ability. Maybe we could do without the ice-aspect of her ability. She'll be able to learn that throughout the RP though, so don't worry. I just want all the abilities to function as a base and anything you want to stem from it, will come after. Let's say with Anna's water magic, she could proceed to manipulate other forms of water such as ice, or take another approach by adding some healing properties to her water or maybe some sort of poison-like magic if she wants to.

After those edits, she's accepted.

As for skills, it can be anything you want. Anything would do. You can choose something that would be related to your ability, like swimming. Or something totally unrelated like baking or bird calls. Just something to add to your peculiarity.

@Riffus Maximus Akasha's good to go. Just put the Skill section before the Abilities. Sorry, it just my issue with text arrangements.

@RoflsMazoy Same thing with Riffus, Skills before Abilities. My apologies again. Otherwise, cool character. I truly enjoy characters who tend to stray away from combat-oriented abilities.

After those edits, feel free to post in the character tab.
