OK, I just read all of the CS's and I am finding 1 very common issue. Many characters seem to be gifted with magic, or already been trained as a knight. I probably should of mentioned it, but I wasn't planning for that, I was looking for something like this: You just joined a school, and you have just gained the ability to use magic, but you are still clueless, or you now have the strength to fight with a weapon, but you can wield a sword about as well as a horse. This was where the progression was to come in. It isn't all about drama or just fighting. It doesn't matter who is the best with a sword, or who can already cast spells like a badass. This RP is supposed to be a bunch of pairs of people thrown into something they may or may not be able to handle. So those of you who dont have a partner, pair up, and design your characters in unison, create a history for them, give them the ability to blossom into something badass, not already be it. (Oh, Drake, your the biggest offender by far.)

I would prefer if you have already made a character, but not found a partner for them, to find someone, and then you both can format your characters to make a bond for the two that will work for the RP, allowing room for them to grow (or shrink) in whatever way that you desire.

Okay, is my character okay? I only ask because I wanted her mom to be a mage so she would have at least a little training. And does this mean that the history for my and Falconi's character needs to be changed?

[Stern Algorithm]

So here's my character, partner and sister to Derpestein's Graian Darkeyes. I hope it doesn't suffer from the character problems Varionus mentioned:

---

Name: Maya Darkeyes
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Golden brown eyes, long, sea-green hair, tall. (Minus the schoolgirl outfit of course.)

Personality: Confident, responsible, dependable, cheerful, outgoing, Maya at first glance looks like a delicate palace rose, but her words and actions speak otherwise. She is surprisingly inelegant and unrefined, though she at least manages to not be rude for the most part. She always leaps before she looks and thinks that any problem can be solved with a bit of elbow grease, any conflict can be resolved with a bit of roughhousing. She doesn't dislike 'girly' things; she simply prefers 'boy' stuff, and has an intense obsession for metalworking and loves to admire armor and weapons. She is quite academically challenged.

Disabilities: None, unless you consider simple-mindedness a disability.

Equipment:

She brought this suit of armor from home with her when she realized she would be becoming a knight, unaware that armor wasn't a mandatory aspect of being a knight. (Minus the battleaxe and shield, Sadame needs NO SHIELD!) I entirely expect people to confuse her for a man in this armor.

History: The firstborn to the Darkeyes House, Maya was groomed to be a noblewoman from birth, but she would always be the one bringing frogs to show the other nobles' daughters, or leading the other nobles' sons out to climb trees or scuffle in the mud. She and her brother rarely saw eye to eye, while he excelled in academics, she suffered, where she was physically stronger, he was weaker. Where she tried to please those around her and make friends, he was snarky, sarcastic and standoffish. She felt it was her duty as the older sibling to teach him respect, but this only made him resent her older-sibling authority even more. In the end, Maya is more worried for Graian's future as a nobleman, since he would ultimately be the one inheriting the Darkeyes name, and a noble who alienated himself was just asking for trouble.

Paired with: Graian Darkeyes
Emotional bond description: Sibling Rivalry

Artifact: The Mortal Coil: A chain-sickle
Artifact description/pic:

The Mortal Coil is a chain of indefinite length stored within the shadows of Maya's armor. One end is a small sickle, the other is a weight. It's ability is defensive, it can be projected from the cracks of Maya's armor as multiple chains that intertwine in a spiderweb fashion, creating a defensive and immovable screen. The screen is 15 feet to either side, and 15 feet high, with Maya at the origin of the semicircle. While the screen is active, it and Maya cannot move. For offense, Maya can swing the chain around and use the sickle. It would make for an effective, close-to-medium range weapon, but for the time being, Maya does not have the finesse to use it to its full potential, and uses it much the same way a biker might use a chain.

Other: Though Maya grew up in luxury, she doesn't differentiate between high-quality and low-quality, she can enjoy peasant's food just as merrily as a five-course meal, wear denim just as comfortably as a silk dress, and sleep just as soundly on a straw cot as a goose-down pillow.

You have a natural born ability in your knight CS apparently.

[Stern Algorithm]

OK, check the pairing list here and PLEASE let me know if I left your character off or if any details about the pairings is incorrect. I hope this helps everyone get paired.

Also, Drake Baku, I think your mage also has too many starting abilities and/or magic specializations. You can probably leave the spells off entirely, maybe if you want you can say that he'll have an affinity for a certain type of magic once he begins learning, something like that. No offense.

-Appreciation @ Stern.-

[VarionusNW]

oh, background, we can fix out some of the minor kinks by PM, if your fine with that.

Lowkey, remove the gun and find a partner, then your good.

Drake I was referring to your mage, and it's long list of spells. Remove the spells, please. Oh, I just read your Knight, the weapon on that is really powerful. Also, the artifacts wont have any information about them because they don't really "Exist" until the ritual is completed, and then you have the ability to summon something that didn't exist before. I guess the Knight would subconsciously know how to operate the weapon.

I am probably going to edit the CS later, make 2 seperate CS to specify more stuff.

[Drake Baku]

I have had a lot of trouble with making the latin work, so if you dont mind I wont remove all the texts
BUT I can place a few under a: For future development Headline
So he wont have them yet, there just listed for the future

I will then put all but lightning, satigga (as its a basic spell) and crystal spells under that header
can also change the elements of sattiga to just Light and Lightning

would that help?

And about the artifact, each of the 3 styles have a pretty big downside, so that levels out the powers a lot
but with her, she wont know how to use it subconsciously
likely the only one that wont know how it works at all then XD (I can see people call her names like, Idiot cant use her artifact or something XD)
