Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

@hoppiholla391

Sounds like a plan, though working with metal with tools is quite a bit different than just bending it to your will! Good to post the character and jump in.

@hoppiholla391

The vagueness isn't a bad problem, but there are two concerns, both a bit related to one another. Her age and her rank. Age comes into play because she is the youngest Weaver by a couple years, which wouldn't be the worst of problems except it seems that her metal abilities showed up later when working as a blacksmith.

Since we already have 3 Weavers who are supposed to be in play, I am a little hesitant to take on a vague 4th. If you would be OK just dropping to Adept or Mage that would solve the age problem pretty easily.

Otherwise, it reads alright other than that, so if you would make a decision regarding that I think it would be all set!

@Vesuvius00

Congrats on the dog hunt, and happy to hear you got them back.

Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

Sucks to hear that. Hopefully you'll track em down....or they'll just wander back to you

@Vesuvius00

Absolutely! Sorry, really not sure how to properly do things on this site, so go right ahead and put the characters in that fancy tab and post.

Or don't put them there. I imagine you won't need to reference the sheets too often....but if it helps, put them there.

Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

If it were not for the airship sitting in a field just outside the Academy, one would think it was just a busy day at the Academy, some kind of celebration or large meeting. Obviously, the presence of the airship meant that this was a much more serious ordeal, with many of the students at the Academy out gawking at the ship sometimes, before sometimes being chastised by a Master or Weaver to continue about their business. Usually they were being told to leave by a selection of Weavers who had been specifically assigned to watch the airship itself, as the Masters of the Academy knew better than to simply trust the students, especially when it was made abundantly clear that any attempt to improperly board or 'retrieve' technology from them would be met with a single penalty: death.

While anyone else would hesitate making such declarations against an Academy, Raven Hayes had no such room for hesitation, and not because of the Airship Dead Iron bristling with crossbows, cannons, and a team of mechanized warriors and typical airship crew. It was more because the gravity of the situation that he had come here to collect mages for left no room to worry about their technology being stolen. He had no such time for distractions, so a firm objective needed to bet set.

Leaning over the railing, Commander Hayes took what seemed like the thousandth gaze over the Academy on the bright and sunny day. While his metal armor, gauntlets, and even steel mask were likely unnecessary in dealing with the mages, he kept them handy all the same. Besides, just because people were afraid of mages and them didn't mean some idiot wouldn't think a crossbow could solve all their problems.

"Commander, everything is prepared. We go as soon as everything is accounted for." Raven Hayes turned to the mechanical troop. A man who had dedicated himself to the Prime Minister, with the armor encasing him granting him more strength and utility than most knights could only dream of.

"Very well. See to it that only our guests get on the ship, and then we shall be on our way, as planned." Raven replied, going back to looking over the arriving mages. Specifically selected by the Prime Minister after a lengthy discussion with the Masters of this Academy. Some were taken easily, others got more than a few eyebrow raises. It even eventually got to one of the other Masters would be coming along as well.

"See to it that they come to the deck as was instructed. I want to see each one of them and go over the plan in more detail once they are on board." Raven instructed, pulling his mask free for the moment. With a sword at his side, crossbow mounted to his arm, and standing tall at 6'4", Raven was imposing not only because of his height, but also his steely nature. He had seen more than his share of battles, and had not been chosen for this mission simply because he had gotten to this rank.

Orders or no, if the mages are late I shall leave them behind. I do not have time to wait, and frankly the rest of the land does not either. We will make due with what we have as always.

For now, Raven waited for the mages to arrive so they could get going properly, and he could get away from this Academy. While some of the individuals were interesting, he would be more than happy to be back in the sky. Being away from the Academy would be a bonus. Looking down at the ramp, then up to the sky, he hoped that these particular mages would not sleep in long.

@Vesuvius00

Alright, just wanted to be sure!

@Mictlan93

To be a gun? No. They could become much bigger and pretty fast, but we won't have any human guns walking around.

@NeoAC

Blizzard eh? An interesting choice, and wears little even though the cold isn't much of a problem for her. Seems pretty good all the same! Though I think thats a little bit unfair to others as they got examined before you, so you might have built off of that!

@WriterRaven

Building an entire kingdom and lifestyle for your individual character huh? Always wearing sunglasses seems a bit silly, but I can let that go as far as appearance goes. Blood shadow transfusions is an interesting touch...we'll see how it plays out.

@Corsair

It all seems to be in proper order here. Light weaponry, and more of a family caretaker on the group. Wonder how that will do with this incredibly dysfunctional group at this point.

Anyways! I do plan on getting this up and running kinda soon (as in tomorrow) so if you would do your character sheet polishing, or whatever you think you need to do to get the OK to start posting, I will say if you all got the stuff to go, or if there is something wrong that wouldn't let ya in.

As it stands....

Illuminates: Master, Weaver, Adept

Pyromancer: Weaver, 2 Adepts

Nightshade: Weaver, Adept

Hydromancer: 3 Adepts

Earthshaper: Mage

So if anyone plans on making anything, or making some changes, or taking on a new element for themselves, feel more than free. Otherwise, see you tomorrow!

Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

@Vesuvius00

Plenty of time for new additions yet! I do hope you don't plan on having a sword as big as yourself, cause I can't let it get too silly here! But, the skill, the age, and most things all seem to fit in nicely! I am confused as to why everyone keeps grabbing potions and the like though, as those are Nightshade Alchemist realms, but its a minor thing!

@Mictlan93

The least experienced and most ruffian of a mage it seems like. Just be aware that you won't be shooting at people with those stone arrowheads and the like. Just cause you have power over the element does not make you a gun! However, it seems to line up pretty well, though quite the history of being a crook. Interesting to see how he'll get along with the others on this adventure of sorts.

@The Cook

It is a bit more specific, which is a good start. I like to recommend ya work on sheets till you know what they are totally, but I imagine thats asking a bit much for a simple RP! Just be careful of course. Can only take in so many of an element, so hopefully I won't see too many of those or I'll have to pick and choose.

Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

@Blaze96

An alright sheet. Nothing too flashy or special, but then sometimes a Master is not all flashy and special when they start out. I don't see anything really wrong with the sheet, with a simple backstory and some information about Alexander himself. Oldest part of the crew so far too, but as of right now as the only Master, and alright written, looks like a good contender.

@mindpalace

Tobias so far has the start of a character....but I need to know more about him than his parents. I know that he is harsh, but why is he harsh? His parents would fight? And where did his mom even go? Most mages tend to make the Academy their home because its safe for an Elemental to live there without worrying about angry mob forming cause they think you cursed them. Like I said, a good start, but I need to know what he is if I am to allow a Weaver level in like that.

@The Cook

This character needs a little bit of work. While the eyes can be a thing, I don't understand why they are different colors like that? It just seems like an odd trait. Also, being a firesmith means that you shouldn't be dealing with potions, antidotes, or herbs. Not really in your line of work. Also, an Academy is not so much a place to apply, but more of a place for Elementals to go so people are not hunting them throughout the day, or causing trouble in the world for other Elementals.

Finally, the personality needs to be a bit more specific. Anyone can be anything if the situation calls for it, so what is he? Is he a cruel and unforgiving judge, watching for what people do? Or is he a quiet nice guy who isn't going to jump at you just because you made some mistakes? Because if he is swearing a painful bloody death on his own flesh and blood, I lean a lot more to the unforgiving judge.

@MrOmega

Seems like we have a sleepy Weaver here, newly minted. However, I don't think it sounds like he is really close to Weaver power level if he isn't even willing to listen to his instructors in learning more or expanding his power base. Having talents for the niche powers is good, but not Weaver good. Weavers have made their elements work in the majority of its facets, and having skill in just a part isn't going to make you a Weaver.

Otherwise, the family presence is good, and the story seems like an everyman one.

@Luna

An Elemental who decided to be a bit more human huh? A very nice touch. Though, I think it could use a little grammar cleanup, I am intrigued by the idea. Though, if I may, I would ask that she be a bit older when it comes to her status. Adept is pretty high, and she has spent some time not at the Academy, so either some age raising, or some rank lowering, or something with the Academy.

Also....I think you might want to lower your arrow count. A couple hundred arrows is probably enough to make an armor of arrows, which is a bit overkill. So, just be sure to keep the grammar up to par, age a little bit to be more in line with the rank, and I think this might be alright!

@Meridian

I like this sheet. She's a little bit young, but then she is extremely brash, downright abusive, and full of spit and fire. Also, since you stated that while she advanced quickly, her abilities have all but stopped changing, I think I might even let the power slide because you don't plan (at least from the sheet) to be creeping with power. As it stands now, I think I'd be happy to see how this turns out.

@Lambi

A silly merchant Pyromancer. Quite the shift from the Firestorm before you, almost a polar opposite...And with that said, I think you could fit in here nicely. Almost a typical life growing up. Mage and not mage parents, learning to control flames and make them dance, and using that to further just make flames do something more specific. So far, I like it.

If anyone has any questions for me, character wise, RP wise, or anything like that. Nows the time to ask them, so that way you know what you are getting into!

And for those at home keeping track, we have 3 people trying to be Pyromancers(2 Adepts, 1 Weaver) , 2 Illuminates (Master and Adept), 1 Hydomancer (Weaver), and 1 Nightshade (Weaver) Lots of Elements left, and a good amount of competition for some of these if you want in.
