You'll be fine as long as you keep the issues we talked about in mind. Aside from that, cs is good

@Tominas

... I still want stuff like a tournament.

@Pirouette

...help me here. What exactly are you referring to? Like the ranking system or the debate of an actual tournament or what?

@Letter Bee Awesome, will do as soon as I get off work today. I'm just stoked to get this rp started!

@Letter Bee
Alright, hopefully that should cover it. If not, hit me up and I'll be happy to change it. As is, I took out the medic targeting and revised her father to sympathizing with the Separatists.

Revised backstory

Clarimonde Sauerstein was born to her mother and father in Steinholme, high atop the Grimrock mountains. The position in nobility had its privileges, but her parents always made sure to remind her that first and foremost, Sauersteins were strong. She attended every execution in Steinholme, was taught tactics, the basics of High magic for self-defense, and how to tell when loyalty to orders was more important than personal initiative. In particular, she took to medical studies with vigor, fascinated by the paradox of how hard it was to kill and how easy it was to die.
That is not to say that her childhood was joyless; far from it. She and her brother were inseparable, and her father showed a side of himself that few had seen in the presence of his family. He told them stories, his grim countenance relaxing into an expressive face full of wonder as he related tales of heroes and villains, legends and love. Her mother taught her court manners, but also how to sneak out the back when politics grew too dull. At nights, she would take her children to watch the skies together, pointing out constellations and shooting stars as they savored sweets stolen from the kitchen. Commonborn, Wilde told them of how to read weather and the beauty of simple joys. It was a good time in Clarimonde’s life, but it was not to last.
Eventually, the war came. Her father a major commander in the emperor’s army, he and his loyal forces stood with Du Reich des Goldenen Grahles staunchly… at first. As it progressed, he was summoned to meet with Emperor Maximilian XV for war counsel time and time again, emerging from his chambers less convicted every time. It came as a shock to the nation when his forces raised a new flag overnight, joining with the Rebellion as Rayner found himself swayed. Clarimonde herself was surprised, but her father remained silent on the matter. He always just stood there, jaw locked, and said that he couldn’t support his liege anymore, that he refused to see reason.
As time went on, the war went poorly. Clarimonde, seeing her twin brother enlist himself at the bottom rung of the military, as was custom for their family, saw fit to do the same. Though her father would not allow her to fight in the infantry, she enlisted as a field medic, an arguably more dangerous job. Medics were not allowed to carry weapons, in exchange for clemency from enemy forces. All the same, magic wasn’t innately offensive. Though she never killed, her wards and constructs saved more than a few from magic.
More time passed, Clarimonde bringing more soldiers back from the brink than she could remember, losing countless more. Her parents would not have wished it, but this experience more than any other taught her what it was to be a Sauerstein.
While she was away, the Reich reached Steinholme. Her mother led what defenses there were, but it was not enough. Wilde fell in defense of their home. Amwolf perished on the front lines, his body desecrated and his bones stolen. Her father was captured along with the rest of the leaders of the Rebellion.
The war was lost.
The Iron Decree came.
Clarimonde was to be auctioned off to the highest bidder as a slave. This was not to be allowed. To herself, bound and prevented from using her magic, the newfound heir to House Sauerstein composed herself. She would not show her captors any anguish. She would give those of her blood who fell a proper burial. She would find and save her father from his prison beneath Castle Goldenreche, and do what she could to spite the Empire any way she found.
She may be a slave for now, but Clarimonde Sauerstein is not a woman to be trifled with.

@Tyki
What parts specifically? Just so I know what the issues are. I know trench warfare wasn't the idea, but I was trying to think of how magic would realistically affect warfare and heavy artillery came to mind :T

@Tominas, Good CS, but these parts:

<Snipped quote>

The Emperor himself isn't evil, per se, more like manipulated; even the Iron Decree came only when his eldest son and heir was murdered with shivs by noble prisoners who said son wanted to assure clemency to. Dubious circumstances, right?

<Snipped quote>

Didn't happen.

@Letter Bee

Duly noted. I will say on the first part, I wasn't going for "The Emperor is evil" so much as "Something something vague military shit to be elaborated on later." That being said, I could easily convert that to "Her father didn't think that the shivs in the night was the whole story" money. As for the second, I'll just pull that. Got a little too much WWII in there :P So no problems with having her dad be a former higher-up? I don't want anyone to know HER, just that her family name used to mean something.

@Araby264
That's the plan as of now. From what we've discussed, we're moving the thing to the States and dropping you guys in a big city. From there, it'll be very similar but not quite the same. Teams of 2-4 will be grouped around a Mentor Hero, with competition and rivalry actively encouraged both in and outside of those groups. Everyone will live "on-base" so to speak, to make interactions between teams easier at the end of the day. That's where we are right now, in terms of development.

And feel free to use Dante, we're not gonna make anyone re-make a character at this point :T

EDIT: Just to add something, I've been a tad gloomy in my own writing as of late, and enjoyed the opportunity for something optimistic and fun, thus this RP. As such, we're gonna try to keep the same spirit of Boku no Hero in this shtick. Character development, growing as people, overcoming challenges, etc. Hopefully it'll be a good time, and if not, we'll have fun getting there :T

Feel free to hit me up. I'm pretty much always watching, and I think after seeing what everyone else is doing I have a rough idea of the power level we're going for here

@Rex
If you wanna go ahead and post that money in the OC here, that'll be fine. The quicker the GMs see it, the faster it gets reviewed. Just post it in the new cash when it's available for ease of reference.
@samreaper
Yeah bruv, that's k.

Alright, I think I'm done except for formatting and making the CS look pretty. Criticism welcome, and if I fucked up any lore feel free to slap me silly and call me Nancy.

Clarimonde Sauerstein the Last

Name: Clarimonde Sauerstein
Age: 24
Physical Description: Clarimonde is a stout woman, firm of base and a tad busty. She's as strong as she looks, and often was forced to carry wounded soldiers across the battlefield during the Rebellion. That being said, she has a worn sort of beauty about her, like an eroded statue. The war left the beginnings of a few lines across her face, but she's still young.

Physical appearance

Clarimonde's Final Portrait

Important items: Since the Iron Decree, the possessions of the Sauerstein family were completely confiscated, their estate given to the Emperor’s replacement of their family. She managed to hide away a small, bronze locket with a magically made portrait of her family before they were broken apart, and is actively looking for a few other items tied to her past. Non-enchanted.
-Her father Rayner’s rapier, well-made and well-used. Nonmagical, unnamed, but has a small inscription at the base: “Stärke des Blutes, Stärke des Steins.” Location unknown, belongs to the Emperor as a trophy of sorts.
-Her mother Wilde’s favorite broach, a palm-sized piece of shaped black onyx with silver filigree. Used to control the magical defenses of Steinholme, currently held by whatever noble the Emperor deemed to place in her ancestral home.
-Her brother Amwolf’s bones, to be buried in Steinholme. Location unknown, likely scattered.

Short Bio:
Clarimonde Sauerstein was born to her mother and father in Steinholme, high atop the Grimrock mountains. The position in nobility had its privileges, but her parents always made sure to remind her that first and foremost, Sauersteins were strong. She attended every execution in Steinholme, was taught tactics, swordplay, and how to tell when loyalty to orders was more important than personal initiative. In particular, she took to medical studies with vigor, fascinated by the paradox of how hard it was to kill and how easy it was to die.
That is not to say that her childhood was joyless; far from it. She and her brother were inseparable, and her father showed a side of himself that few had seen in the presence of his family. He told them stories, his grim countenance relaxing into an expressive face full of wonder as he related tales of heroes and villains, legends and love. Her mother taught her court manners, but also how to sneak out the back when politics grew too dull. At nights, she would take her children to watch the skies together, pointing out constellations and shooting stars as they savored sweets stolen from the kitchen. Commonborn, Wilde told them of how to read weather and the beauty of simple joys. It was a good time in Clarimonde’s life, but it was not to last.
Eventually, the war came. Her father a major commander in the emperor’s army, he and his loyal forces stood with Du Reich des Goldenen Grahles staunchly… at first. After a time, he was summoned to meet with Emperor Maximilian XV for war counsel. Emerging from his chambers, servants claimed that the noble looked as a ghost, deeply shaken. It came as a shock to the nation when his forces fled from their posts in the night, joining with the Rebellion. Clarimonde herself was surprised, but her father remained silent on the matter. He always just stood there, jaw locked, and said that he couldn’t support his liege anymore. The Empire had too many secrets.
Naturally, as time went on, the war went poorly. Clarimonde, seeing her twin brother enlist himself at the bottom rung of the military, as was custom for their family, saw fit to do the same. Though her father would not allow her to fight in the infantry, she enlisted as a field medic, an arguably more dangerous job. Medics were not allowed to carry weapons, in exchange for clemency from enemy forces… supposedly. After a time, she learned to remove the asclepius from her uniforms, as the spellsnipers would actively fire for those who tended to the wounded. She and the other medics secretly learned High magic to defend themselves, as knowledge of magic did not count as a carried weapon.
As the war progressed, she brought more soldiers back from the brink than she could remember, losing countless more. Though her parents would not have wished it, this experience, more than any other, taught her what it was to be a Sauerstein.
While she was away, the Reich reached Steinholme. Her mother led what defenses there were, but it was not enough.Wilde fell in defense of their home. Amwolf perished on the front lines, his body desecrated and his bones stolen. Her father was captured along with the rest of the leaders of the Rebellion.

The Iron Decree came.
Clarimonde was to be auctioned off to the highest bidder as a slave. This was not to be allowed. To herself, bound and prevented from using her magic, the newfound heir to House Sauerstein composed herself. She would not show her captors any anguish. She would give those of her blood who fell a proper burial. She would find and save her father from his prison beneath Castle Goldenreche, and do what she could to spite the Empire any way she found.
She may be a slave for now, but Clarimonde Sauerstein is not a woman to be trifled with.

Starting Faction: N/A, slave. Loyalty belongs to her family, and the legacy of House Sauerstein
Spell List:
-Minor Constructs(High): The user conjures simple tools and objects no larger than a breadbox, remaining in existence so long as she focuses on them. Traditionally, Clarimonde utilized this spell for field surgery, summoning sterile clamps and scalpels. Occasionally she drinks out of a conjured teacup for kicks.
-Lesser Judgement(High): Crude but effective, this spell hurls white bolts of energy, doing damage which cannot be healed by magic. Hits as a crossbow bolt would.
-Lesser Ward(High): Simply a ward against other magic, this spell protects its target for a few hours before wearing off. Has no effect against physical weapons. Analogous to chain-mail, the ward does not completely negate other spells, just lessens their effect on the beneficiary.

Exceptional Skill List:
-Exceptional Will: Clarimonde has seen more than her fair share of death and pain. Holding a man’s intestines in while lightning crackled an inch from her head changed her. Nerves of steel. Functionally, this is the same as mental Toughness, resisting mind-altering affects. Not immunity, but a very strong will against effects of the same level. Fluff-wise, her face is a stone wall.
-Exceptional Medicine(x2): Studying under the finest tutors the Sauerstein coffers could afford, Clarimonde then spent several years performing meatball surgery in muddy trenches with minimal supplies. She can’t bring back the dead, but if the brain is alive she’ll damn well keep you that way.
