Stranded: Prisoner's Tale (sci-fi/fantasy Med casual)

@HeroicSociopath The premise of your character isn't exactly usable here. The Alcatraz is about the equivalent to the death penalty, basic drug dealing isn't going to get you sent into deep space like that. Second, while I think necromancy is a cool unique ability (you're reanimating corpses and you go to jail for dealing drugs?) it would a few tweaks. Maybe if it required fresh corpses that would be a tad more balanced? There's also how much mana that would probably take, and as a Tulak that would be even more of an issue. Your bio is also much too short, it just kind of seems like you just threw something onto there just to fill the field.

That's most of the issues rn anyway.

@Heckno12

Okay, fair enough. He's more about animating stuff like wood and paper as opposed to corpses, cause that's kinda grody. Would scaling it down to one human body equivalent work? Or how about only plant matter?

Stranded: Prisoner's Tale (sci-fi/fantasy Med casual)

@HeroicSociopath As of right now your character needs some major remodeling. You can either try to reshape your current one... a lot. OR create a new one from scratch. Or if neither of those options work you may tell us Sayonara. We'd hate to see you go but if all this is too much for you we completely understand.

@Heckno12

That's the plan, but if you don't actually tell me what's wrong with them then I cannot do either.

Stranded: Prisoner's Tale (sci-fi/fantasy Med casual)

@Heckno12 Okay, that's a little vague. What would you like me to change?

@HeroicSociopath

Just a bit of forewarning, a guitar is almost definitely going to get your character killed. Or, how about this? Him playing an instrument while in prison would have probably annoyed the guards at some point. In that case, they would have likely confiscated it and thrown it in with any other contraband. Guns and other weapons are mostly allowed because of the anti-aggression field, that wouldn't keep him from playing a guitar. I guess what I'm saying is you can have a guitar, just not at the start...And that you'll likely be killed off if you're going around playing it in the jungle. (Assuming one of the less stable characters don't break it over your head first)

I'm gonna have to give a hard no to the gun-guitar though.

@Heckno12

Iunno, if we're talking predators I'd think a gun is louder. How's this?

Rex Gardner

Name: Rex Gardner

Race: Tulak

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance:

My Hider

Rex is a tall, slender Tulak. He has grey skin, and a mop of longish black hair, with a pair of thick, conical horns jutting out of his head. His eyes are red with black sclera.

Equipment:
Glow sticks: He got like fifty of them at the music festival.
Harmonica: A harmonica. Rex got it for prison life in particular.
Knife/Whetstone: A penknife and a stone for sharpening it. He mostly used it for whittling.
Paper: Paper he's collected during his time on Alcatraz. Mostly for drawing/writing/origami.
Lighter: He stole it from one of the guards. Just a regular lighter.
Sewing kit: A needle and thread.
Guitar: He doesn't have it right now. It was confiscated by the guards when he tried to bring it in.

Attunement/enhancements: Life Magic

Unique Ability:
Phytokinesis: In addition to the healing powers most life-attuned beings have, Rex's powers have a special effect on plants: If he has direct contact with them, he can shape and control them. This allows him to make them move as he wills, and greatly accelerate their growth. He can also distill extracts from them to make various medicines, from anesthetic to sedatives to psychedelics.
Necromancy: If Rex uses his power on non-living organic matter (Anything that was once alive but isn't anymore) he can repair and animate it. These animated beings are a little less dexterous than an average human, but are capable of running fairly fast. And they don't get tired. They can't feel pain or die, either: The only way to take them down is dismemberment. The strength of whatever he is animating is proportional to that of the base creature. If he uses it on something like dead plant matter it's only as strong as a human of equivalent size. Speaking of size, he can at any time animate the equivalent of three humans, or one object the size of four humans (~600 pounds). The objects obey verbal commands, but they aren't particularly clever. They understand things like "Protect that person" or "Carry this box over there." But more complex orders like "Drive this car one mile away and then seize the base there and steal their computers" would be beyond their capabilities. He can dismiss an animated object at any point he desires. There is no maximum range, but to do anything they have to be given an order.

Personality: Rex is an extremely laid back young man. More or less a hippie. He enjoys drugs and playing his guitar. He's a friendly guy. He has a dim view of authority figures, and a deep love of the ladies. He's got a bit of a mischievous streak, and likes getting a ride out of people, but he's at heart kind and likes to help others. Ironically, Alcatraz was probably far better for him than a normal prison, because there's no way he'd last more than a day in a regular prison. He is in fact a pacifist, and dislikes hurting others. Even if he was forced into a fight, he probably wouldn't be particularly good at it.

Bio: Rex's parents pushed him to be a healer. They said it was his responsibility. That God gave him his gift to be a healer. They pushed him really hard to it. They pushed him so hard that eventually he decided he was tired of it. He quit healer school to sell drugs and go to music festivals. Maybe he should have stayed in school, because he was caught by a narc and arrested. He might have gotten off, but he didn't really have the money to hire a lawyer, so he ended up defending himself. Poorly. So poorly that he ended up getting put on the Alcatraz.

@HeroicSociopath I can 100% deal with the glowsticks, they have some utility. The harmonica? I guess, yeah. It wouldn't be a burden to carry and probably wouldn't be too obnoxious. If you can work on all of the other stuff, we'll gladly take another look at it.

@Heckno12

Okay so what kind of stuff is allowed under equipment? They'll let him have a gun but not a guitar? What if it's a guitar that is also a gun? Would that be acceptable? Or could he build a guitar at some point? Would that be okay?

Stranded: Prisoner's Tale (sci-fi/fantasy Med casual)

@HeroicSociopath

Alright, so I'm just going to be upfront about this, but your character won't really work as he is now. You took a few liberties where the attunement were concerned (Life attuned magic requires physical contact, it's also not going to do much as far as some of the larger creatures go). and your character isn't very fleshed out as things are. I don't mind your character being a pacifist, that's okay, but I'd much rather they had a reason to be thrown on the ship other than mistaken identity. You're going to need an actual bio that's more than two sentences.

Then there's your "equipment." I'm going to have to say no to the bong, guitar, the drugs, and the gameboy clone. On a positive note, the alchemist ability would be plausible and is easily the best part of the sheet as things are. Other than that though, I have to mention that this is a med-casual RP and as such needs a fair bit more detail.

@Heckno12

Okay I got you. To be clear though the glow sticks are okay right? Would a harmonica be okay? That's a thing people in prison have I think.

Equipment:
Glow sticks: He got like fifty of them at the music festival.
Lover: Rex's guitar. No amp is necessary. He can shred like a motherfucking riot.
Tulak Leaves: Leaves from a plant that grows on the Tulak homeworld. When heated, they release chemicals that will get you really high. He also has seeds from them. He bought it while he was in prison.
Bong: A glass bong with anime girls on it.
GameDude: A portable game console. Due to futuristic technology, the batteries last more or less forever.

Attunement/enhancements: Life Magic

Unique Ability:
Beastkin: A combination of Rex's race and his life magic affinity. Animals will not attack him unless he provokes them. He can communicate with and possibly tame them too, though of course most animals aren't super smart. Playing his guitar can calm them down. Music soothes the savage beast.
Alchemy: Rex's life magic affinity allows him to "sense" the nature of plant matter. This allows him to find out what plants have what effects, distill them using various natural processes familiar to the Tulak. He can make anesthetics, sedatives, psychedelics (his favorite), uppers, downers, alcohol...You name it. He mostly just needs some kind of fire.

Personality: Rex is an extremely laid back young man. More or less a hippie. He enjoys drugs and playing his guitar. He's a friendly guy.

Ironically, Alcatraz was probably far better for him than a normal prison, because there's no way he'd last more than a day in a regular prison. He is in fact a pacifist, and dislikes hurting others.

Bio: A raver that got picked up for selling drugs to a narc at a music festival. Through a clerical error, his file was mixed up with that of the infamous serial killer Rex Gardener.
