@Superboy I'm sure we might maybe make possible exceptions for specifically invited people? I mean...<.<

@Vec oh well then yes you can feel bad. =P *checks* Lies, you totally have a pic. Maybe not a face pic, but there's a pic there. Whereas I...um. Actually, I do own the top and bottom I based Elian's outfit on? Simply because it's a pretty fun outfit (though I can't wear it again until I lose weight *sigh*). And because I was just sick to death of trying to find a picture. and also because I figured Emma varies between enjoying completely impractical game outfits and things that are modest and sensible. Besides, most dancers are going to be revealing and scarves and stuff, so this way she stands out -- but not on the battlefield. <3

@Ozerath I love your tone as a writer here. *sits on* I may be grinning like an idiot right now. I think personality and backstory are solid. Benchmarks are...iffy, in my opinion. Not that they're not great skills, but a lot of the mental ones seem more physical to me, and some of them seem more like "oh he can do this" and not "he's trained so he's better at this". But I'm not exactly clear on benchmarks entirely to start with, so I'm going to shoot that over to @Gowi.

Elian and Thael are in the same fraternity, and I daresay they'd know each other. I feel like their hollering battlestyles would be either great or at least fun together, and I request that they end up in the same group, in terms of which characters are grouped where. Elian also sees Pariah as a game more than anything else, and I think the dynamic between them would be a /lot/ of fun. To this end, I suggest that Elian was in BroForce, though only an occasional/tertiary member -- healers never lack for willing partymates, after all, and she's on the independent side, not to mention her love of exploration. This would allow the drama in question to have blown right by her, so she knows something happened but doesn't really know what. I suggest that she and Thael have stayed in touch and still party up when the opportunity presents itself. What say you, Oz?

To the first point, yeah I admit I wasn't 100% clear on benchmarks. I tried to stick to the experience-yields-capability model, but there were some things I felt were super important to a tank that I couldn't really fit in that way. I also wasn't sure if abilities were to be listed in benchmarks, or if they were derived from benchmarks (eg knowledge of a school of magic granting access to multiple spells in that school). I will probably retool, but I'll wait for Gowi's input before I get too far into it.

To the second point, I like it. Healers and tanks are natural companions. It helps to flesh out our backstories, and I do like to go into RP's with some character relationships established. They'd also be a great if somewhat exasperating duo in battle, and god help any RP intensive people they might end up with.

@Vec It may or may not be part of a drawing of John Cena poorly photoshopped onto a picture that comes up when you google "paladin".

@Ozerath oh, Emama's cool with rp, she just might not stay ic in a fight. Or Elian has that hollering style too, up to others how they interpret it. So glad you're god with this. Should be great fun! I do like establishing relationships if it makes sense for chars to know each other. <3. Yee~

Possibly a few days after when I have all current applications in and reviewed. The OOC revisions might have to take a backseat so I can get said reviews over with though.

@Superboy I propose that Graves and Elian have partnered up for a few dungeons or suchlike. Tank plus healer is a very dangerous combination, if they have the endurance to whittle down larger foes. Probably not friends, but perhaps a working relationship and mutual respect? I know he doesn't team up much, but as you said, can't do everything alone, and having to deal with one person is probably better than a whole team in most cases, right? She's known to be reliable, though loud, but very up front about most things. ...Emma definitely thinks he's a jerk, but if he puts up with her hollered insults, I think it'd work okay. ^.^

@Xiro Zean I can't think of good reason for Ochre and Elian to know each other...but I'd like to see what kind of a dynamic they have. Unless he makes very light armor -- cloth or leather -- she doesn't have any of his equipment.

@PrimalOrigins I'd love to have Elian at least know Vulcan. I have no idea if he'd take custom jobs, but perhaps he made the ribs for her fans? If he looked for a healer to party with (outside of Crow) that might be another aspect to the relationship. And I think watching forgework might be of interest to her when she's in town.

@TheMinorFall I imagine if Elian hangs out near Vulcan, she's encountered Crow once or twice. No idea if you'd like them to know each other beyond that. Up to you I suppose. Judging by his personality they wouldn't be friends yet if at all. I know I personally prefer partying with two healers instead of just one, because if the one goes down then everyone's screwed, but I also suck at games, and tend to have cautious elements to my playstyle. =P

@BubbleGumKing I'm pretty sure that Elian knows Silvestre from her research efforts. Quirky probably appeals to her, as does his fondness for rp/acting and gaming. Open to working it out further!

@shylarah Sounds pretty good to me. While Graves talks a lot about keeping people distant, he wouldn't actively push away a frequent partner. Healers are hard to come by and Elian's one of the better ones- though he'd never tell her that. I think the two of them would have a wonderful time yelling at each other. Plenty of room for tongue and cheek banter that they may or may not mean.

@Superboy *grinning* Excellent~ Looking forward to it.

Elian: Being a good healer does NOTHING if the party DOESN'T STAY IN @#$%ING RANGE! ...and no, I'm not chasing you. YOU CAN @#$%ING WELL GET YOUR @## KILLED!

@Gowi She's a bounty hunter, and if she will take advantage of party members and use guile on them -- in other words, mislead them and trick them deliberately -- if the person is not a total jerk then Elian probably won't like her much. There's enough drama irl without inviting it in her downtime hobby. ^.^;; Sorry~

I mean she’s not really a bounty hunter like Graves is— she’s a collector of items. A procurer of wanted items for the #notblackmarket. She isn’t interested too much in killing people for the coin. ;)

You want me to critique you? Madness!


Only if you have time. I just don't want to make a sub-par character that slips under the radar. I also think your classless benchmark system is super-interesting, yet least understood, since I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
