Hey everyone, add a skills section under the combat section to your sheets, for stuff like fixing things, making stuff or lockpicking or something. I knew I forgot something.
Fleur is now a 1337 h4x0r. Rewiring clockworks and such, fun business.
So... something like Special skills: Master of picking locks, Extremely good at assembling and disassembling guns, Has a profound appreciation for the literary arts?
Something like that. Whatever they picked up and can use, basically. I need it for my master plans.
Well a bit late in saying this but I'll have to withdraw. I thought I would have more time on my hands but suddenly classes have drowned me with quite a bit of work so I'm going to be busy for awhile with no clear end in site at the moment. I wish you all though the best of luck and see some awesome characters all ready. Cheers everyone!

Take your time, man. Good luck with your endeavors.
I know, I know, there are 4 CS's up. But! I had a character that seemed perfect for this RP. Go ahead and give her a look-over, or if you're not so inclined, best of luck with your RP going forward!
Personality: Quirky by nature, she's probably best described as capricious, brazen, and outgoing. She loves the study of runes but prefers field testing rather than lab testing for her ideas. Her intense focus is useful in her intellectual pursuits, and she can suddenly turn into an introvert in the middle of putting a project together. Generally speaking, she doesn't follow social norms and attaches no value to them, calling things as she sees them and often acting in unladylike ways. Is she friendly? Most of the time, if one is inclined to academic conversation or exciting stories about the Frontier.
History: Verity was born in the Yaroi Republic, where she attended public school and later received scholarships to pursue the study of runes. In addition to learning advanced rune techniques, she also had a universal education studying cartography, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, anatomy, history, geography, geology, alchemy, basic engineering—you get the point. She had the ability to soak up knowledge and had great promise as a graduate student to become a true expert in her field.
But lab work was boring! The university didn't pursue more diverse branches of runic magic and as news of the frontier came in, she realized their materials were also exceptionally limited. Desiring to truly advance runic magic further and to make a name for herself, Verity decided to adhere to a goal that would financially support both—to find the Wishing Star. While she finds the nature of the stone intriguing, she also doesn't believe it exists. It simply happens to be a namesake for her desire to scour the frontier and test out her runic creations.

Combat section
Weapons:
Elemental Cannon III The elemental cannon misleadingly sounds like some sort of gun, but the truth is that it relies purely on magical runes, not powder and bullets. It is shaped like a hand cannon, featuring a wide black iron muzzle of about six inches and a long strap of leather that harnesses the cannon to its wielder. All along the top of the muzzle, however, are a series of switches, each belonging to a 'filter' inside of the cannon. These circular 'filters' (approximately 2'') are composed of various metal elements (largely copper, with traces of tin, iron, and gold), and each has a different shape. By lining up a series of these filters together, they form an active runic chain that releases elemental energy. Unlike a traditional firearm, these rune patterns take time to coalesce and release magical energy. Over time, these filters wear out from magical use and must be replaced.
Pattern I: Forked Lightning Range: 10ft Delay Time: 10 seconds Use: 5, before replacement is necessary Description: Three tongues of lightning emerge from the cannon's muzzle for approximately 5 seconds. They work much like a tazor does, causing surface burns, internal burns where it passes through a body and into the ground, erratic muscle tension, and sometimes heart attacks to those exposed for the full 5 seconds.
Pattern II: Lightning Bolt Range: 100ft Delay Time: 1 minute Use: 1, before replacement is necessary Description: The cannon fires one bolt of lighting, which gives one heck of a recoil. It causes much more severe forms of damage than Pattern I causes. Usually results in death when used on a target, but can also be used to electrocute soaked people/objects and to blow apart some heavy obstacles with the sheer force of the strike.
Pattern III: Lightning Trap Range: 20ft Delay Time: 5 minutes, unless triggered earlier Use: 1 Description: The cannon automatically clasps two filters together and ejects them. These unstable filters become active once they hit the ground, and upon impact, explode with electric energy. The direct shock caused by this can incapacitate a human-sized creature.
Pattern IV: Water Stream Range: 1-2 inches Delay Time: 10 seconds Use: It produces up to 50 gallons of water before replacement is necessary Description: The cannon glows blue and begins producing a steady trickle of water.
Pattern V: Water Blast Range: 15ft Delay Time: 30 seconds Use: 2, before replacement is necessary Description: The cannon instantaneously transmutes air to water, blasting 10 gallons of water in a straight spout forward.
Pattern VI: Fire Blast Range: 5-10ft Delay Time: Instantaneous Use: 2, before replacement is necessary Description: Fire patterns are where Verity's magic gets most experimental. She's still perfecting the runic pattern to harness its full potential, but at the moment all it does is release a wide burst of fire for 5 seconds that, y'know, lights stuff on fire and burns things.
Armour: Runic Corset. It's under her dress, but has runes inscribed into it. These don't protect against bullets or blades any better than regular leather—rather, it provides elemental resistance. Heat, cold, dust, and wetness are repelled by the runes, keeping its wearer at regular temperatures while also keeping them dry and clean. It also provides protection against magical flame and electricity, effectively reducing the damage of such offensive spells by half.
Clothes: A long, button-up blue coat with black stockings and knee-length blue boots. Under the coat is a pleated black dress and a black, laced petticoat.
Magic: Runic. Verity can make defensive and offensive elemental runes. Her preferred medium is metal.
Skills: -Frontier Knowledge: The Frontier is a wide, unexplored place, but what research journals do exist from the field are things Verity has read and researched. While this amounts to knowing little more than 1% of what's out there, it gives her a basic idea of what to expect in the climate and terrain of the Frontier.
-Basic Engineering: Verity can make basic solutions and extractions (glue, oil, herbal tonics, even some metals) with her knowledge of chemistry (not to mention metallurgy) and understands how coal and rune powered machinery works.
-Cooking: Verity can cook! Seriously, she knows how to prepare and cook wild plants and animals in addition to more domestic baking.
-Cartography: Verity understands how to measure, annotate, represent, and interpret actual land to maps and vice-versa.
-Academics: Verity knows math, history, and the basic anatomy of humans and most normal animals. She's got some philosophy and cultural studies under her belt as well, and knows the basic geography of the world.
Fighting style: Verity isn't necessarily trigger happy, but her morals are few when it comes to restraint. By nature, her magic can't be used as quickly as a hand weapon or with the range of a firearm. Instead, it relies on precise timing and distance, often following up one pattern with another to maximize efficiency depending on the situation. A lack of hand-to-hand combat experience means she relies on others to draw attention away from her so her patterns can form and release.

I see you've put quite a bit of thought into it, and I like it. It's pretty good. I'd like to know where exactly she got the cannon from but that's not entirely important.
Anyway, there is 1 problem but it doesn't have to do with your character at all, just that at my last count there was just about 10 people dropping interest, so I may or may not have to cut down since I didn't want that big of a group in the first place. Hold on a second, would you? I may need to address some more people. Just a sec...
@rush99999@RawrEspada4@Fairess With the above said, I believe I have a way to have a larger group than intended, or at least I can come up with some strategies to handle that particular situation for a while, so for the foreseeable future, you're all welcome aboard. But you should still probably wait for me to put the OOC up, because it'll be a bit easier at that point.
