Regretfully I have to drop this one. Family life has gotten busy and crazy. Best of luck to everyone and my apologies.

That leaves me partner-less! Was there anyone else who needed one?

Quick question:

Would it be possible to make one's magical speciality the ability to stop magic? My character's first and foremost a warrior, which would render him very vulnerable to magical attacks unless he had some sort of counter. I was thinking that enlarged vas wein in the brain/head region would allow one to counter/negate the mental attacks of others? (e.g. the ability to stop an enemy spellcaster from rendering you unconscious but not allowing them to control your mind).

This wouldn't stop any physical attacks - a magical blow to the head would still knock him out, and he couldn't counter a great ball of fire hurled at him (other than by running very, very fast) but it would at least stop him from being a plaything of any hostile mages.

Questions about orcs:

Connection seems important to them. I have it in my head that communal meals would be important. Sort of like... no matter what you're up to, you'd better be with someone for dinner. Friends, family, stop in a tavern... Eating alone would be... worrisome.

Also, I'd imagine with the whole warrior culture... Maybe those who are spiritual greet the morning with a short blessing. More or less 'Thank you for another sunrise. Blessings to those who have died and are missing it.' And then in the evening. "Thank you for another sunset. Blessings to those who have died and are missing it."

*shrug* Are those both ok? I love little cultural details like that. May I toss them in? I don't wanna overstep my bounds in your universe.

Yeah, I'm partnerless as well.

And looking at your ideas, both work great for me; mine's a young human or half-human-half-elf swordsman who uses evocation magic like a second weapon alongside his sword. It's time for me to get for today, so I'll pm you tomorrow, Chezka.

Yes Krimp that sounds good. The ability to combat mental control could be useful and seems well balanced. It could even be something he trained not knowing he was doing magic. He could simply believe he is training his mind. That part is entirely up to you of course.

Communal meals seem like something that would work well across the board with orcs. Although it wouldn't be a cast-iron rule, just a superstition. Blessings could be entirely up to the individual orc, perhaps a religion of the place you were raised, but it wouldn't be race-wide.

Sorry it's taking me a while to cook up my sheet, but I'm having trouble keeping my muse still for this one :/ It is coming together though, just very slowly.

I have trouble finding a fitting picture for what I want to do, I am seriously considering, for the first time, to actually use a written description >_>

Exactly what I was thinking Dext, sounds good. If I have a chance I'll start writing up my CS today (once I've got the character firmly set the words don't take long to come). Once Dizzy and I have sorted out everything, the remainder shouldn't take long to add.

What is it you want to do, Sky? I may be able to help you find a pic.

Dext, what type of government does Aega have? I'm planning on having my character come from a noble family, possibly one that has some amount of political influence, if that's alright.

It's funny how we've got this whole, huge island full of dwarves and yet not a single person wants to play as one. Those poor little guys just can't catch a break. :'(

I love dwarves... If I could come up with a second character, it'd totally be a dwarf woman.

No one EVER depicts dwarf women!

I just can't portray dwarves ever since Dwarf Fortress. Never forget. If i did play a dwarve, he'd be a bumbling idiot who somehow always does the right thing stupidly.

But that kind of character is one of the funnest to play! You just convinced me - if there's a point at which a second character is needed, I'm going for an imbecilic dwarf.
