[quote=ArchangelUriel] It'll be explained, and I was leaving it to final judgment, which if denied would be an easy shift. Don't worry, it's far from complete. In artistic terms it is simply a gesture of the final. [/quote] Aright. Just come and tell us when you have a final product. [quote=Sundered Echo]This is where it gets weird. Rtron and Fallen have already approved this race (Awakened Harmony) but I'm not sure if Lucius has looked over it... The full description needs some tidying and putting somewhere accessible, I'll talk to Fallen about that tomorrow... UserName: Sundered Echo Character name: Ponders. Mordent. The Twenty-seventh. Age: 36 Mageblood type: Natura Favoured Magic Class: Geomancy Previous Magic training: None Race: Awakened Harmony Appearance: [img=http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131128182710/steamtradingcards/images/e/ed/Endless_Space_-_Harmony.jpg] Ponders’ form is pale blue by nature, comprised of a number of separately moving stones. The central glow is pale blue. When arranged in humanoid form, he stands at an imposing 8’1. Given the variable nature of his shape, however, his height at any moment can vary greatly. Short Bio: Like all Awakened, Ponders rose from the lakes beneath the harmony at the last Awakening. At the time he was given the name ‘Mordent,’ which he retained for a number of years. He also bears the title ‘The Twenty-Seventh’ as he was the twenty-seventh Awakened to rise from the waters. Like all Awakened, he immediately set out to explore the world and gain knowledge. Ponders particular journey took him first to the Dwarven City of Ironstead. There he learned the dwarven language, as well as the common language, and first began to comprehend the world he now lived in. The Dwarves found him and his brothers fascinating, and for four years Ponders spent his time exchanging information with several Dwarven Geomancers as well as a Necromancer of the Motem-Necromancy learning. He was treated almost as an experiment, a being to be studied, however, he did not mind as the mages around him merely observed, and they also told him of the dwarven ways, their culture and history. Young Awakened, however, are voracious learners, and rarely stay in one place for long as they hunger for knowledge. He departed Ironstead at age four, travelling south. He wandered the wilderness for 12 years, observing the many plants and animals of Eania and northern Djarkel, remembering all but never delving very deeply into the study of any one being. During this time, the Accelerated learning of a newly formed Awakened wore off, leaving him more in control. Many a month he would find a vantage point to watch an animal's den or hunting ground and stand as still as as a statue, simply watching. This time of observation ended when he was found by a curious Eanian villager. It was much to the villagers surprise when the glowing statue struck up a conversation with him, but his curiosity won out over his sudden fear, something Ponders greatly approved of. The pair travelled back to the village, where Ponders once again took up an observing role. He remained here for 6 years, and it is here he received his name. One day one of the villagers asked him what he was actually doing while he stood watching and he replied ‘thinking.’ The villagers response was ‘what are you pondering?’ Though the villager did not know it, Ponders took a liking to the idea that he was forever pondering an idea, and so adopted it as his name. After a time, Ponders had learned much of what there was to know about that particular village and asked if he could travel to the Eanian capital city. Instead of simply walking there, the villager who had first discovered him devised a plan. He would take Ponders, who would pose as an ancient statue, to the archeology guild in the capital and sell him. From there, not only would the village have a large source of gold, but Ponders would get to observe all that went on there unhindered. The plan mostly worked. Ponders was sold to the guild. However, the guild had seen the harmony and the Awakened before. Two months into his observations, one of the Archeologists discovered Ponders true nature. When he was questioned, Ponders simply asked to be allowed to observe the goings on. This was allowed for a time, as long as he contributed occasionally to the Guilds knowledge of the Harmony. When he eventually asked how the Guild was storing what he told them, he was introduced properly to the idea of books - objects the fleshy creatures used for storing information. It took Ponders a number of years to read the majority of the Guild Library, a feat that quite astounded the faculty. They knew of the Awakened’s hunger for knowledge, but to witness it in action was quite something else. Eventually, Ponders discovered the books detailing the sum total of Eanian knowledge on his own kind. He learned many things from these that had before been simply instinctual, but one discovery would stand out, bringing forth a new hunger for knowledge, a very specific kind of knowledge. When Ponders discovered from the books that he was capable of Geomancy, he decided to travel to the best place the guild could point him for learning it. The Twilight College. However, his journey has not been particularly direct. He was distracted first at the forest in southern Eania, never having seen such a concentration of trees before. He observed it for six months before eventually moving on. He was once again delayed when he encountered the Twilight lands, and stopped to observe this strange phenomena and try to fathom why it was like it was. Three months he roamed the area before finally making it to the Twilight College, only a day before it was accepting new members. Good Attributes: -Knowledgable: 36 years may not seem like much, but when you need almost no rest and have no other interruptions to learning, it is a long time in which to accumulate knowledge. Ponders’ travels have taken him to many strange places, and he has learned all manner of things. From time to time, one of the facts he knows can come in useful, though only if he remembers in time. -Patient: Even for a rock, Ponders is patient. He is content to act like a statue for extended periods of time, during which he will watch and think. He has also been known to read entire libraries of books with no concern as to the time it takes. -Body of Stone: Ponders has all the advantages of being an Awakened Harmony outlined in the race description. Bad Attributes: -Curious: Ponders is a curious being. Far too Curious for his own good in fact. He will gladly risk damage and destruction for more knowledge, such is his thirst. As well, he has a particular hatred for secrets. As far as Ponders is concerned, no-one has the right to withhold information from him for any reason. -Mind of Stone: Ponders may be a sentient thinking creature, but he is still made of stone. Ponders’ thought process and reaction times are slow compared to most beings. This can make dealing with him frustrating, as well as providing a potentially significant disadvantage in combat. -Body of Stone: Ponders has all the disadvantages outlined in the Awakened Harmony race description.

Good Attributes: Hard worker Bad Attributes: she is scared by snakes Secret Word: Rebirth[/quote] Like the other one, work on the Biography. At least two good paragraphs, don't forget it needs at least five-to-seven sentences. Use periods accordingly. [quote=WitchChild] Well that just sucks : c Though I can think of various different things that can get around it. Any magic that involves launching objects at him such as Geomancer throwing a rock at him or electromancer using metal flechettes via magnetism, any non magical projectile attack that he could see. hell, if multiple enemies throw magic bolts at him, he is not likely to deflect them all. As I said, the sword only deflects if the projectile makes contact with him. And if a magical barrier is particularily powerful and not conjured by some half-assed mage, the sword will cause haklo excruciating physical and mental pain. [/quote] Normally I let Rtron and Fallen handle these matters, but I've seen how these things go. For the moment, I would suggest that you shelf this character. We will not be accepting him as is right now, but we may later on. Alternatively, I would suggest removing own ship of the sword entirely at the beginning. Not to say that it can't exist or that you can't have it, just not at the beginning. This of course the final word requires help from Rtron and Fallen as well, but I'm sure they'll tell me before they make a final decision themselves. [quote=Frettzo] I need you gais to check my CS for any flaw before I post it, I'll send you the link to the thing right now :P [/quote] Getting all the weirdos, eh? Looks okay to me though. Just wondering, how does fire affect it? Also, would we call it "Her" or just "It"? [quote=EliteCommander] It is still rather hard to keep up with this OOC. Some things never change, I suppose. [/quote] And like before, you didn't miss much. Mostly just us GM's working with people's CS. But you should know that the RP should be starting on Wednesday. Also you've been approved and can post your CS [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/5261/posts/ooc?page=1#post-99161]here.[/url]
