If my character takes a core in Cold and a core in earth, are the resulting, 2/6 in dark and light enough to have minor bits of that in powers, or should one keep to things with more than that?


Yes, the point of those extra masteries is so that you'll be able to take some minor abilities in elements other than your main ones.

Um so one question could I take Light and Metal or do I have to take Earth and Cold to get metal because I have a theme for my guy if he is Light and Metal.

Or for that matter Heat and Light maybe as an alternate if that doesn't work?

Maybe Aether and Metal.

Hmmmm...

I want my character to be like a warrior among the gods I want him to have the elements that would be warrior like can someone help me with this?

Well I was already shooting for a martial build to a cold/earth character with heavy metal focus, so maybe for variance's sake you should try the heat and light one? So we don't end up with clashing stuff.

Name: Ethan Alcott, 'Emperor Alaric Tellayran'(In costume)

Sex: Male

Age: 23

Appearance: Ethan is a tall man standing at approximately 6'3 in height. His body is rather thin and prior to his arrival on the crucible he could not have been described as fit. Since the arrival however he has found that all of his muscles while not massive have become far more defined and noticeable. His face is slightly too narrow to be described as conventionally handsome though there are elements that make his visage striking regardless. His eyes are large and a metallic shade of silver grey that seem to almost shine. His hair also shares the silver grey coloration at this time. Ethan wears it rather long, and it falls down to the level of his shoulders. His skin is an extremely pale shade of white, a color occasionally found in those who spend almost no time outside and who already have pale skin to begin with.

Ethan is clad in quite striking attire. Atop his head sits a crown made from six silver shards of metal that jut upwards from narrow band of metal that wraps around his head. An ornate crimson and silver cloak hangs down from his shoulders and it is adorned with a sewn pattern of a pair of taloned hands in black. The fingers of the hands reach up to his shoulders. Over his upper body he wears a shirt lined with what appears to be chainmail, though the mail is largely hidden or superficial. This shirt and the pants are of the same crimson and silver coloration as the cloak he wears and are similarly ornate. At his waist is the sheath for a sword though the sword itself is missing. (A note, he was dressed this way because he was on his way to a convention prior to being summoned)

Personality:
Ethan is highly intelligent, a person who is very devoted to things that he sets out to do, and a person who never really quits. He has perhaps an unhealthy obsession with video games, and finds it fascinating and quite simply awesome that he seems to have been sucked into a scenario straight out of one. He has had a lack of friends and this along with bad experiences when he has tried to make friends has led to him being less than trusting of many of the people who he meets. He is also more than mildly escapist, spending a great deal of time on things such as costumes that allowed him to pretend to be individuals of power from various settings or that he had invented. He is also a horrible judge of character and can be taken advantage of at times despite his reluctance to trust strangers.

Biography:
Ethan was one of those people who never quite seemed to click when it came to interacting with others. He would always make the effort and attempt to make friends and socialize, but was never really successful despite the attempts. Some of his efforts even failed in painful ways. When he was in elementary school he attempted to make friends with one of the other children in his grade by telling the boy many of his secrets as a show of trust, the other boy promptly divulged all the interesting ones to other students and the sting of that violation of trust as well as others that happened later were part of what drove him to retreat into his own worlds.

He had always loved books and games that allowed him to delve deep into worlds where people like him, people who had always had bad luck with others, or who were picked on, were the ones who would turn out to be the subject of a prophecy, or would turn out to have magic, or grow up to be a great hero, and sometimes even a villain. It would be the books and games that got him through adolescence, and he would eventually try his hand at creating his own stories, and for the first time found something even better than the books and the games. This was a way that he could truly create his own worlds where it would be his turn to be special and important, his turn to be successful.

Many of the characters that he created were designed to be versions of himself in other worlds, where he possessed powers and ruled. He was not particularly successful following college and while he managed to find a job it was depressing how much it had cut into his time to pursue the things that made his life worth living. He had been planning to take a break, attend a convention in costume as one of his own creations for quite a while, and the day had come, but rather than taking his brief break there he was instead summoned to a realm where he was to fight to become a god, a world where suddenly one of his creations had come to life to stand by his side. Let us just say Ethan is rather thrilled.

Skills:
Costume Design- Ethan is quite skilled at creating and designing costumes and has had a lot of practice doing so. His current attire is a testament to that and was the work of over a year.
Good Actor- Ethan knows how to play roles and has done so frequently.
Martial Arts- Specifically use of the rapier or other long thrusting swords.
Video Game Expert- Self explanatory
Skilled Story Teller- Ethan is good at making up and telling stories, something that served him well in his efforts to create worlds.

Elemental Cores: 1 Cold, 1 Earth

Abilities: -

Familiars:

Elaine Tellayran: 1 Cold, 1 Earth

Possessions: The costume he is wearing, it's not actually combat attire.

Name: Elaine Tellayran

Sex: Female

Age: 0

Race: Seemingly human

Appearance: Elaine is a tall and slender woman who matches her maker in height at 6'3. Her skin is as pale as porcelain, and her hair is long and silver in coloration. It hangs down to the middle of her back. Her eyes are also pure silver pools with no discernible pupils or whites. Her lips are fetching and her face is an example of near perfection. Similarly her body has an abundance of attractive curves that draw the eyes and she does appear to be somewhat idealized.

Her clothing seems to have some relation to that of her maker, the colors red and silver being extremely prevalent in her attire. Atop her head of silver hair sits a similar crown as well, though notably hers is substantially smaller. An ornate dress that seems to have that same hybrid of flash and protective elements woven into it covers most of her body and is fairly modest. Notably her attire is unlike her maker's actually protective.

Personality:
Elaine is a manifestation of a number of elements of her creator's psyche. For one there is the fact that she was in large part born from a desire on the part of her maker for a companion which has led to her devotion towards him. She is intelligent, quick to react to situations and relentless. These traits in combination do not make a full personality and that is to be expected as she only just came in to existence.

Biography:NA

Skills:
Cooking- Elaine knows how to cook, how useful that will be when she does not need to eat is uncertain.
Martial Arts- Elaine is more of a generalist than her maker, she possesses skill with many styles of swordplay in particular.
Strategic Knowledge- With the same memories of reading books on old wars and battles and the same experience playing a lot of strategy games she has some skill at planning and executing a battle.

Elemental Cores: 1 Cold, 1 Earth

Abilities:

Blight-Steel (Metal, Cold, Earth, Dark) Blight-Steel is an amalgamation of Metal and Dark that rips at the mana-vessals of those touched by it, as well as striking the body itself. Further due to it's dark aligned nature it is somewhat resistant to dark based attacks. All metal utilized by Elaine has this property.

Armor of Blades (Metal, Cold, Earth, *Life*) *sometimes) Elaine can channel her mana to form metal armor around her body, it can also be used to transform her flesh into metal, though doing this is more draining than just forming the armor. Regardless the metal armor makes her substantially more resistant to physical attacks and her ability to conjure forth metal can be used offensively as well, growing blades from the armor being a common method.

Frigid Grasp (Cold, Dark, Life) Elaine can drain heat and mana from a victim that she is able to grasp. If this effect is maintained she will eventually consume them entirely, draining their mana and heat to the point where their body crumbles into frozen dust and strengthening herself. This obviously takes time, though it can be hastened if she has already transformed her hands into their Blight-Steel form.

Earthen Arena (Earth) (Passive) Mana is naturally infused into the earth around her at a slow but constant rate. The longer she remains in one place the greater the effects will be. The earth is almost always firm beneath her feet, and almost always unstable and rumbling beneath her opponents. Should she remain in one place long enough she will begin to gain conscious control over this effect and can with great effort open small fissures or call up spires of earth.

Metal Mind (Metal, Earth, Cold, aether ) By focusing Elaine can enter a state where her mind is cold and emotionless and entirely focused on an objective. It is difficult to interact with her mind in this state though at the same time her own ability to think and process is greatly reduced.

@Flora: Your character is accepted.

@Raptorman: Everything else about the character is fine, but Metal Mind should involve the Aether element, since it's a mind-altering ability. Its elements should be changed to Metal and Aether.

@Blackmist16: A full-body transformation ability like Dragon Form is too advanced for beginner characters, so I'm afraid you'll have to remove the ability entirely for now. Also, Warrior of Light may boost your character's strength and reflexes, but it can't be as powerful as the character sheet claims it is; he's only a beginner character after all.

How many more people do you expect before starting an OOC?


I'm going to start the game right now.

The player characters will be divided into two groups. @Magnato, @ravenDivinity, @Laue, and @whist are going to start in one group, along with @BCTheEntity, though BC's character will leave the group as soon as possible. @gammaflux, @Flora, @Raptorman, and @Blackmist16 will be in the second group. This means that gammaflux and Flora will have to wait for a bit, until Raptorman and Blackmist16 have their characters accepted, before they can post.

I'm going to make the first IC post now. Well, "IC", as the GM and narrator, not a character in the game. Oh well.

Uh, I haven't needed any chatrooms for RPs I've hosted before. And unless some special circumstances come up, I don't see how we're going to need a chatroom anytime soon. So yeah, I don't really know.

Cool, regardless looking forward to getting started. :) I did also have a question though, will we have some choice over what abilities we get over time? I know a lot of stuff will be gained through consumption, so I was curious if we just got some of what we consumed or if we could use the energy consumed to evolve along our existing lines as well?

You normally only gain what you consume, but you'll be given a list of what abilities you can pick. If you want to evolve and gain original abilities of your own, there'll need to be some plot events.



I've made the first post. The characters in that group may now do whatever they want. But remember, actions have consequences...

(It's probably a good idea to get acquainted with each other first.)

Those plot events will happen from time to time though?
