@Lucius Cypher Yup, its pretty common for mages to have one or two schools of magic that they draw on

Knighthood (Closed)

Shemhazian Demon- True Demons level city blocks, so it was probably a Cambrion or some other half breed

Transmutation- This is another term for alchemy in this world, but it doesn't deal with Telekinesis, Shapeshifting yes.

Its a type of Force Magic or in individuals with a Superior will its a literal manifestation of their Will in the world. Keeping in mind that Force magic is a separate school of magic so to speak.

bind mana- Magic on its own is simply referred to as Magic, Mana might be a guild specific term but from what I can tell the character is using Wild magic so he'll be drawing on the ambient magic of Galendar for all of his power as opposed to having it given to him by a God or an object.

Aboleth’s Lung- get your D&D reference out of here lol they are called Abberants, but seriously name change is all with this one.

Malakaus currently rents an apartment near the mage’s guild that also houses Annabeth. A fairly humble home, has your usual necessities as well as a personal desktop for Malakaus’s own use.- This is fine though the Tower of Stars has its own Barracks for those who wish to live on sight. Keeping in mind the Tower should be a separate entity from the Mage guild.

Beyond that, and those are pretty knit picky In my opinion, the character looks good.

Sounds good to me.

Almost all of the races can cross breed. Go look at Crow in the character section. He's half Elder Sidhe half Shaitan Djinn

@Lucius CypherI like the idea a lot. And there is no reason you can't have an Orc clan like that. Angel's landing is perfect for that since it's a full sprawling metropolis so it has plenty of slums and high traffic areas. Just so long as the character itself is a Knight the background should be fine. After all the Tower is a mercenary organization so the take people like that

@Lucius Cypher All good to me, though I'd consult the Codex race section my Orcs are not warhammer orks lol

@Lucius Cypher Good God where did YOU come from. Long time no see mate

Knighthood (Sci-fi/Fantasy)

5902 atf.

Once we shone in the dark, we were the grey light. The Swords of Kings, Conquerors and Gods alike. For coin, blood and land we trod with Steel boot and glimmering sword upon the throats of our enemies. The enemies of those who held our contracts and those who stood foolishly in the way. In the end we were made better for it; stronger, more enduring and more adaptable than ever before.

The ones who came before us scorched empires and raised armies the likes of which this world have long since forgotten. Now we stand as a testament to their legacy of blood and fire. It is our job to rise above what we once needed to do, we are better and our ways must reflect that change. Though we still answer the call of Coin we must know when to use the bite of our steel and when it is best to simply rely on words alone.

Our hour grows late now, the wolves bay at our door and old enemies seek revenge for the sins of our past. So I issue this call.

To those who still wield sword and gun, magic and guile. Answer the call. The Tower of Stars has need of you once more.

Setting

Knighthood takes place in the city of Angel’s Landing. Millennium of war and peace have ground the city of Angel’s Landing to dust repeatedly only to have the city be rebuilt upon the old cities bones. Now it is home to towers that rise from slum streets, to the pinnacle of opulence in the homes of the rich and powerful. Below them the poor scrape by in the muck beneath the towering heights of the city.

The setting is Fantasy turned sci-fi. Galendar started out as a fantasy setting that has seen progress towards a higher tech future. This can be seen in the way that the line between technology and magic is not always clear. It can also be seen in the appearance of races that are traditionally seen in fantasy settings making use of 60th century top of the line tech in conjunction with their 5000 year old magic.

Characters

As a result of the setting, characters should be a mesh of fantasy character concepts with a sci-fi spin, or a Sci-fi concept with a fantasy slant. (Ex: Knight who uses nanobot strengthened armor, a shield of kinetic force and a sword capable of changing form to a variety of other weapons. Or you could have a ship mechanic with a penchant for magical items used for repair on her high tech vehicles.) Please feel free to come at this from either angle but you should try to balance your character between having a sense of fantasy and an edge of the cyber. Treasure planet, Shadowrun, and The Asgard from Marvel's new Thor movies are good places to draw inspiration.

Characters will be new recruits or veteran members of the Tower of Stars. Characters should possess some sort of tech, magic or combat expertise. The Tower of Stars takes a variety of individuals everything from ex soldiers, to hackers, to mages. The guild is not a military organization but one of its primary functions is combat as a result of this the character should at the very least have a means of defending themselves.

The Tower of Stars provides a variety of services for its contractors, some of the jobs are less than savory and it is rumored occasionally have included assassination. All of the jobs taken are approved by The New Mistress of Stars Calrisa Silversun. Calrisa like her missing husband allows many of the members of the Tower of Stars to take their own jobs usually with cursory approval.

Characters should have a strong backstory and ideas for their own jobs as well as a means for fitting into the overall plot line of The Tower of Stars battle for stability and survival in Galendar. As well as the hunt for Christian Highfell, should he still live.

For those who are veterans of previous iterations of Knighthood. This particular run is both a timeline reset and a change in the base lore of the setting. For all of the new people feel free to disregard this as there is no continuation between the previous iterations of Knighthood

I am looking to take two or three more people. The OOC can be found here.
