Whoa, character sheets already!! You guys are amazing. Ok, I'm gonna go through these, and I'm sorry if the first few sheets are guinea pigs for the CS questions. I already see that I'm gonna have to change some things (but hopefully they're not huge things). No fault of yours, of course, but I hope I don't give you a headache. [@Darkraven] So far so good! As you go along, some notes: Sofre is a wonderful addition and I wouldn't change it, but just making sure you only plan to play Pedre in the RP. If you're willing to give me control over Sofre, she can be a part of the plot. Or we can come to some arrangement where you can switch between them, or have her join in later. I just have trouble keeping track of two characters. ^^' [@Vesuvius00] Great character! I should've asked for more info about magic from the getgo, though, and I apologize for leaving it so open-ended. I'm going to add the following specifics under Magic: [b]Focus:[/b] (What type of magic does your tribe focus on? No magic system is all-encompassing, and each should have its own single, narrow use. Any spell that falls outside the focus of the magic will require severe effort and an enormous sacrifice, if it is possible at all. Healing, weather-magic, protection, communication, summoning, etc.) [b]Balance:[/b] (For every advantage there is an equal and opposite sacrifice: throughout the world, magic is ruled by balance. In your magic system, what is sacrificed for the sake of spells? Personal health/exhaustion, sacrificial animals, valuable offerings, contracts/promises, meditation, time, etc.) [b]Process:[/b] (How is a spell cast, and how long does it take? Rituals, sigils, chanting, dancing, writing, spoken word, etc.) In your particular case, if I may make a suggestion, there may be a practical reason each tribe may only have one shaman at a time. What if the shaman draws life energy from everyone in the tribe in order to heal one person? Everyone in the tribe must trust and freely offer their energy to the shaman. They may all dance or chant or participate in the ritual in order to give their energy to the shaman. This also means that while the shaman is alone, or among people who don't trust her, she is extremely weak or powerless. The focus should be solely on healing, with a possible minor application to protection and barriers. I'd have to advise against any spells that don't fall into one of those two categories. [@Incanus] Great character! Your formatting seems to be off, though -- you have line breaks in the middle of sentences, which makes it hard to read. Uncle Tam seems to be a big part of Matin's life. Just making sure you only plan to play Matin in this story (as I don't do well keeping track of more than one character per player). With your permission he might become a part of the plot, or we can make an arrangement for him to appear later. Regarding the Drea: It's absolutely cool for the tribe to believe there are gods of the forest, but the reality might be entirely different. Just an FYI things might not always be what they appear. Your description of the tribe's magic sounds great! I've changed the CS a bit where it concerns magic, but it doesn't affect your CS because Mat doesn't have magic, himself. So you're good. With those minor points in mind, Matin Dripwood is [b]approved[/b]. Please copy his CS to the Characters tab.
