Here's hoping. I also had another character design but never really finished it. Maybe I'll show it you here if it helps keep things going here

The sheet's grammar has to be fixed. I don't mind Djinns using weapons, but I can't accept one who "easily" uses a scythe with metal-cutting power; the very concept of weaponry is alien to the Djinn, so they would always have some difficulty in wielding them through magic. Also, if the character uses ice magic, you have to be more descriptive and detailed about it. The history section doesn't have to be long, but there must be something to it that describes the character. Finally, I'm pretty sure you can find a bigger picture than that.

There was no mention in your post that it was WIP. Interesting that you drew parallels to Golden Sun, since I haven't played that series.

@Eodwyn Aether
A good rule of thumb for roleplaying here is that you first read the site's rules if you haven't done so already in addition to any rules Game Masters may have set for their own roleplays, most often set in their thread's opening posts. Another good tip is that you can use the Personal Messaging feature to message posts and character sheets to yourself so you can save them for later use; there's been times when I've made long posts but the site was malfunctioning, resulting in the work lost. Nowadays that shouldn't really happen anymore, but I still keep backups of my own posts just in case.

The site's divided to three subforums: Free is where everything goes in terms of posting quality and quantity including oneliners, reaction-posts and the like, and grammar is not an issue. Casual, where this RP is in, has adequate standards: there's no major problems with grammar, and posts are usually a couple of paragraphs if not more. Advanced is where more ambitious people write their stories, but don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's elitist or anything; it's collaborative short story or novel writing, but it can accept people who are willing to put more work to their writing. There's also other sections, but you can discover them for yourself.

As for making a character sheet and writing in general: you can check out what characters have already been accepted in the Characters-tab. If you write something of similar quality and length it's most likely going to be accepted if I don't find any major faults with it.

Edit: If you're going to post a character sheet, post it here first. After it's accepted it can be posted in the character tab.

Looks rather interesting. Question before I get started on a CS though!

How inferior are half-breeds to the main races? I know in the main post you stated 'considerably' but I would like a slightly better explanation if possible.

Hey, thanks for sharing interest. Basically, any major feature of the three races (such as flying for griffins, magic for djinns and strength for humans) is diminished with half-breeds to the point they could hardly be used in combat. For example, a griffin-human crossbreed would have atrophied wings that would only let them glide for short distances, even less if they've built up any muscle, and their only weather-manipulation ability would be to walk on clouds. Djinn-humans would still have the basic telekinesis magic, but their specialized magic would be only for mundane use: a fire-magic specialist could only put on a campfire or cook, a healing-magic user could disinfect wounds but not actually close them, etc. And while they would have arms, they would be stubby ones like a T-Rex would have.

There's also the fact that in the setting, half-breeds would be considered vile abominations, and are shunned by society.

Name: Eodwyn "Dawn Rider" Aether

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Gear: One leaf blade,one enchanted dagger, 1 bow and of course a quiver of arrows. 1 rope dart and a small tinkering kit.

Skills: Eodwyn has a ability to make people talk whether its the easy way...or the hard way. Although not as skilled a blacksmith as his Grandfather, Eodwyn only has enough skill to repair or modify weapons rather than craft them. Also is a good tracker and is okay at stealth.

Physical Description: http://imgur.com/a/2THZd

Personality: Reserved, mostly quiet but very protective of what few friends he has. Will never abandon those in need unless something else is of a higher priority.

History: If you were to say the name "Aether" before the reign of Kaaos, many would come flocking to hear the stories of the great warrior and smith who crafted the mightiest of weapons. Once, Long ago when the wars of the humans and griffins and Djinn's were just beginning there came one man who bestowed upon the King of humans 5 swords, known as the dawnriders. This man was known as Aldnar Aether. Upon seeing the creations of Aldnar and witnessing first hand at the sheer power it had, The king bestowed upon him the title "Godhand" and made him a Lord over a small castle in the northwest. It is there that Eodwyn's Father, and grandfather, resided. It is there that the reign of Kaaos began. If you ask the people of the first battle between men and the legions of Kaaos, Most people will tell you the tale of the battle at Salkire Keep. It was there that the small army of Aldnar Godhand fought Kaaos himself for three full days. They say that Aldnar and his son Ragnor Nearly mortally wounded Kaaos had it not been for the treachery of Eodwyn's older brother. Eodwyn was 10 when he witnessed the torture and eventual death of his whole family, his older brother excluded.

For 4 years Eodwyn was tortured mentally and physically before finally at the age of 14 managed to escape and after two days of aimless wandering, found a small resistance group hiding out in the forest nearby. It is there he was nursed back to health and was taught how to fight with a sword and bow, how to track even the smallest of things, and how to bend the dark of night to his will. He even made a little friend along the way, an Ice wolf named Oragnar. At the age of 17 Eodwyn decided to hone his skills elsewhere and became a wanderer. For nine years Eodwyn honed his skills, for nine years Eodwyn fought many skirmishes , for nine years Eodwyn searched for clues for his long lost brother, hoping to end the life of the person who caused his misery. And it is here that we continue his story.

Other: Eodwyn gained the nickname "Dawn Rider" As he would only fight before the break of dawn...most of the time. Has multiple scarring all over his body due to the torture he received. His dagger is made from a shard of one of the 5 dawn riders. Loves his wolf....

Hmm, a ranger-ish character with blacksmithing skills...I'm fine with that that, but with the condition that he only has enough professional skill to reliably repair and modify weapons, not forge them. Also, I'll only allow the dagger to be enchanted. His history is very good though, I'll commend you for that. Once those changes are made I'll accept it.

(Kaya) Khadila Usksha


Age: 15

Gender: Female

Race: Djinn

Gear:
  • Cloak - A rich, midnight-blue cloak made only for those who are recognized as those favored by the community; also worn by relatives of these important figures. (Un)Fortunately, she's the latter.

    An example of a daughter and father donning the aristocrats' cloaks.
  • Skiing...shoes? - A pair of high-heeled shoes with much of its parts cut off to resemble a sandal. The midsole and the toe (which can be pulled up to reveal cloven cleats) of the shoe is covered in smooth wood, while the heel of the footwear is dotted with steep cleats. A fairly recent invention used to traverse desert terrains.
  • Scroll Bag - A leather bag carrying three scrolls, each of which open up to 20 yards long. Two of them detail djinn physiology, and the remaining one lightly brushes over human and griffin physiology.


Skills: Khadila specializes first and foremost in surgery, as is custom of her lineage to practice. Following that from a far distance would be general medical practice on a broader scale, including the usage of certain substances instead of magic to cure certain illnesses, as well as performing a variety of other medical procedures.

Physical Description:

5'5 | 115 lb. | Rust Irises | Sandstone-Yellow Hair


Personality:
Khadila is rather straightforward and frank on many issues, as is customary for her clan to behave when dealing with those outside the family. Though stubborn in her core beliefs, which include Djinn superiority, the despotism of any and all other "uncivilized, inferior cultures", and other prejudices, she treasures her life enough to let even these go for some policy to keep the peace. That is, unless she finds an injustice too strong to bear without intervention. Above all things, including her culture-related beliefs, she favors life. War itself is a disgusting thing to her, and though she is forced to be stain in its marks, she believes that if anything, it would be better if war and death wasn't a wanton, arbitrary thing, but rather a more natural occurrence by the work of the stars above and the rules that dictate the living world.


History:

Khadila was born in raised in aristocracy, though most would say the "lower" aristocracy, if it meant actually doing work as opposed to managing those who did. Her family came from a long and broad line of researchers of medicine, the core branch of which studied surgeries. Khadila is part of that main branch, but is the only heiress of the lineage; her mother was found to be barren after giving birth to Khadila. The only problem was that, by then, Kaaos had shifted the hierarchy of the Uskshas to the branch that researched some obscure thing called "splicing". It was a hush-hush affair between that family and the rest of the clan, so few knew what they were getting into when they accepted the changes.

Khadila's parents instructed her to flee and join the resistance, one night, after they returned home all bloody and burnt, and it sure as hell wasn't their blood. The only thing that Khadila knew as she fled through the sand-swept alleys was that she was going to have to prepare her skills for something much larger than an affair within her clan...


Other:
  • For her ease of commuting, she dabbles with some minor telekinesis to fling herself over short distances, if she's in a rush.
