Vrelenor

??? - ???

It's tempting, Vrelenor's been wanting to see how much damage a basic understanding of ice magic can do since he wokeup, and even just making frost gather on his staff felt cool, manipulating mana is different to anything back on earth, and he's very glad he chose a magic skill because there's not much chance he'd have figured out how to do any naturally, makes him wonder how the locals must do it, unless they get given free skills to, but that would imply he and his fellow Isekai protagonists didn't get any cool advantages, which is absurd.
Vrelenor shakes his head, loot destruction for opening chests wrong is a classic trick after all.

"I'd rather not do that unless we don't have any other option, if I can hit hard enough to smash the chest, then I'd probably also ruin anything inside it, an it might well be those indentations that we need to worry about anyway."

It doesn't seem that dark to Vrelenor, perks of elven senses.

"Yeah, this is screaming trap, probably something nasty in those indentations just waiting for us to get closer, either that or something triggered by the opening the chest. My new eyes seem to be seeing pretty well in this light and I don't see anything, but the triggers could easily be inside the chest itself, or even some magical sensor. Our best bet is probably to have whoever's toughest walk carefully inside while the rest of us watch their back, if that doesn't trigger anything we can take a closer look at the chest. Before we try anything though, what are we working with if something does ambush us? My skill is Ice Magic, sounds like it could get interesting eventually, but for now it's basically just shooting sharp icicles and jets of frost which could slow something down."

He'd though isekai was a pretty mainstream word by now, guess not, then again, that was a plane, guy could be Swedish or something, that's probably not his original accent, random japanese loanwords probably aren't in english second language classes. Huh, wonder if there's some translation magic going on actually, they probably don't speak English here.

"I was trying to be helpful, our situations fits that definition perfectly, we even have a suspiciously gamelike lnterface, which is almost as common as the base idea these days, sure it's fiction, but so are elves, and magic." He points to his ears and staff with those last two points, then continues "Oh and if you're not familiar with the genre, then 'Dungeons' are a common feature ripped right from rpgs alongside the status interface, basically big structures full of hostile monsters and sometimes valuable loot, their existences don't always make a lot of sense narratively, but give the main characters an excuse to fight things, I bring this up because if we're in one, then something is probably going to attack us eventually."

"Oh and I want to check a suspicion, so let me know if you understand this." He then proceeds to say "I don't speak much Spanish" in poorly accented Spanish.

And that's the last of them awake, that makes four, a good sized party, it seems planes are just big flying trucks, he looks aroudn and thinks before saying anything.
It's interesting to see what everyone started with, he's got his wizard robes (complete with unnecessary belts and stylish cape) and an odd looking wooden stick which is presumably what passes for a basic Staff, one person has a rather impressive suit of face hiding full plate for level 1 (sure, this could just be one of those odd settings where appearances are meaningless and it's all about arbitrary numbers and item levels, but there's no inventory on his interface or stats for his gear), another with some slightly lighter plate and then there's the guy who looks like a peasant.
Gear to suit our expected builds perhaps, he's got Mag as his best stat and a spellcasting skill, maybe the armoured guys (actually faceless' voice was pretty high pitched, so no jumping to conclusions, could be anyone under there) took high defensive stats, or maybe even defence comes from armour and they got scammed out of their starting stats for something you can buy? What stats could lead to being a peasant with a knife though, 2s across the board, maybe he's going for some sort of sneaky stabby build and those clothes count as urban camouflage. Armoured guys can be the meatshields if this is a dungeon.

Oh he should probably say something.
He shakes the water off his head and gives a confident smile to the group, they don't seem to be taking their get out of death free card nearly as well as he is, but that's no reason not to stay positive, he'll answer the late sleeper first, "Pretty sure that plane crash Isekai-ed us, remember assigning those stats while you napped? Sure beats dieing horribly, doesn't it. We're either in a surprisingly pleasant fantasy cave or a dungeon, if those are part of this world. I'm Vrelenor and I decided to become a mage." He freezes a bit of the moisture in the air at the tip of his staff to punctuate the statement.

Vrelenor

??? - ???

Vrelenor had been dreaming about using his awesome ice magic to slay monsters and impress the locals (who were of course all attractive, clean and in awe, no dirt covered peasants in his fantasy world), when he was rudely awoken, cold water soaking into his hair, which is certainly longer than it used to be.

The first thing he did, before responding to the shouty half-elf, was try to check his status, the window popped up, there's his new name (so much more unique than the old one, he'd known two other guys with the same name in college), his stats, assigned as chosen, no inventory is a bit disappointing, he really doesn't want to have actually carry things, too much like hard work, and at last, his race. Elf is definitely an upgrade, sure he doesn't have the details, but almost every generic fantasy setting he's read, watched or played had elves as just better than humans, thank you Tolkien, that explains the hair too.

He stands up and looks around as he talks to the shouty man "Ugh, was the water really necessary, there's no towels in this cave."
He takes in the cave, the glowing fungus providing surprisingly good lighting. While he'd have preferred a proper welcoming comittee of locals, with an actual explanation and maybe a cute priestess of whichever deity required heroes so awesome they had to fetch them from another universe, this place is actually pretty cool, though he hopes it's not a dungeon.

He considers trying to dry his hair with ice magic, but that'd probably just make him cold.

Here we go!

Vrelenor

Name: Vrelenor (not his real name, but this is his idea of what an elven mage should be called and his old name was boring)
Age: 21 mental and whatever the equivalent is physically for elves in this world.
Gender: Male.
Race: Elf
Appearance: Tall with dark hair and pointy elf ears, he'll dress the part of wizard ASAP. I have no artistic talent, but got one of those free AI's to whip something up, not sure what's going on with the cape but it has an appropriate amount of functionless belts and gets the idea across well enough. (I actually went back and tried to regenerate, I ran out of free uses, so just ignore the fingers)

Personality: Cheerful, friendly, convinced he's going to be the cool hero here, pretty bold, thinks he's funny. Definitely overconfident since he's yet to have that confidence crushed out of him by reality.
History: Not much of interest really, he was a reasonably smart college graduate, he'd grown up middle class, wasn't really paying the whole "crippling student loan debt" thing any attention and was sure he'd be getting some great tech job any day now. He was on the plane to make a connection at JFK, returning from a fun vacation where he'd got to go to one of those big conventions, taking advantage of his parents generosity and a schedule free of both classes and working.
Level:1
Stats: (and why he picked them)
STR: 1 (pft, like he's going to hit things)
DEX: 2 (can't miss those cool spells he's totally getting)
MAG: 3 (time to be a wizard)
DEF: 1 (just don't be hit, can't be that hard)
RES: 1 (just don't be hit, can't be that hard, besides there's probably healing magic anyway)
AGI: 2 (run away faster, cast spells faster)
LCK: 2 (You can never be too lucky, besides he's the protagonist now, so maybe this is how plot armour works, pity he needs to spend the rest of his points in MAG)
Skills: None of these looked very cheaty, but maybe it's just a matter of figuring it out with his superior modern education (that is to say a basic college education in the entirely irrelevant field of web development) once he gets to try it out.
Skill Name: [Ice Magic]
Skill Description: Allows the manipulation of ice magic to cast ice spells.
(Simple logic here, he needs something that sounds capable of fighting because there's no way he's been transported to another world to not fight for his life, lightning is cool but one note, video games have taught him that fire immunity is everywhere, while fire magic is usually just as good with the bonus of making ice walls and stuff, plus he can probably learn more magic later, hopefully)
Other:

Reborn in a Fantasy World, This Time I Shall...! (Interest Check)

Very interested, been reading quite a few isekai/litrpg type stories lately.

Going to make my guy a mage because magic is cool.

The Symphony - A Fated Quest

Anything going on here?

The Symphony - A Fated Quest

Was hardly going to just keep walking Iveus thinks to himself at the soldier's cry, a massacre like this is not something you just ignore, and this road wasn't meant to be particularly dangerous. It all makes sense when the soldier mentions the twisted song, the Maestro's minions are active already, he'd known it was only a matter of time of course, he wouldn't have The Tome if it wasn't.

"Don't you worry about Koi, I'll handle it." He doubts the poor fellow actually heard, but no harm in offering a little hope. Iveus right hand goes to the large belt pouch with the Tome within, pulling it out even as he starts walking down the road to Koi and a brisk walk.

Koi won't fall like these soldiers did, because he'll be there.
