A very good example of how to intertwine a character with one of the 13 heads. Overall I like it.

...sneaking out the bushes with a character...




His home island needs a name, but overall I like the character. Would also like to know if he's found any of the 7 required hearts, as going 1900 years without even getting ONE is a bit odd. Maybe have him already have Lust, since, uh...this is a good christian website, and I ain't allowed to depict that one very well.

Also, would like a basic description of how he uses someone else's blood, and if there are any specifics about that. Like, can he steal blood through armor? Overall I like it though. Pending edits, he's good to go.
Running out of shitty commentary to put after these.

Name: Kagami

Gender: Male

Age: 23 (Real), 12 (Apparent)

Race: Human

Element: Water

Dream: Kagami dreams to be the first man to publish a complete map of Tyragrande. However, since he believes a map should include more than just a geographical guide for travelers, it would be more accurate to say that what he is working on is more akin to an expansive tour guide, including landmarks, native customs, figures of interest and famous legends of each place. As a result, it is written in book format and will most likely take at least a decade to finish in the best case scenario. As a secondary goal, he hopes to undo the curse that has been placed on him, which has transformed his body into that of an infant.

Home: Kagami comes from Egrea, an island known for being at a considerably lower altitude than the rest. There exists a widespread rumor that Egrea was once much higher up in the sky, but fell to its current position sometime during an ancient war. As a result, skyfarers prefer to avoid visiting it, and even their own inhabitants fear that the island may one day fall down to the Earthly Realm. Despite its favorable weather conditions and lack of extremely powerful or 'rare' monsters, about seventy percent of the current generation has already left the place behind and set out to explore the world or in search of another home, one with a more promising future.

Gimmicks: Kagami has never been someone suited for physical combat, even more now that his body is that of a child. That said, even though he wouldn't stand a chance to emerge victorious in an actual fist/arms fight, his small figure combined with professional experience as an escapee make him a nimble adversary to face. His most noteworthy trait is the knowledge he has accumulated during his twenty three years of life, some from his parent's library, some from his time as an adventurer. He is well versed in deciphering codes, can write in a good dozen languages and speak fluently in at least half of them, and has received teachings in the arcane arts as well. In combat, he unleashes a variety of spells through the use of magical tomes called grimoires [He is pretty much defenseless without them]. The element he is most attuned to is water, and his skill set sacrifices offensive power for a good number of support spells, defenses and healing. However, if a big enough mass of water is present nearby, his offensive potential gains a significant boost [although still tame in comparison to more offensive-oriented elements, like fire or darkness].

Personality: Kagami possesses a personality that is too mature for a child, mostly because he is an adult-who-has-been-turned-into-a-kid. He may be gentle and somewhat innocent, but his serious demeanor often makes him stand out immediately. He's the kind of person who thinks about something a lot instead of just letting emotions take the reigns of the situation. As a result, sometimes he can be hesitant or shy, especially in social encounters. Some jokes and idioms seemingly fly over his head. On the other hand, when he is familiar with a certain task, he can focus on it in a way only a few can, his actions well-executed and accurate, like those of a machine. Naturally, Kagami is also very curious and shows interest whenever he comes in contact with something new or rare. That said, he tries not to peek where he is not welcome, so he doesn't really insist when he doesn't get the answers he seeks. Personally, Kagami enjoys devoting most of his free time to his dream, meaning you can regularly spot him reading, writing or drawing. Although there are benefits from being confused with a kid, he doesn't like when people seemingly ignore his opinions because he looks like one. He also insists he is not a 'Harvin with undeveloped ears', but a lot of people seem to start thinking of him as one once they realize 'he's too smart to be a human kid'.

Background: Kagami's parents were indeed strange, for despite living in Egrea, they had no desire to leave the island. With the promise that one day the island would crash into the Earthly Realm, most of those who stayed in Egrea were people who simply lacked the means to leave. This was not the case with Kagami's parents, who had even spent a good amount of time and effort pouring all their knowledge into the island's library, which they owned. Some of the books were even written by them. After all, the two of them had been, at some point in the past, skyfarers. And so, Kagami grew surrounded by stories of adventures, all of which involved air travel and wondrous creatures. It was only natural for him to develop the desire to see these things for himself and live the life of a skyfarer. He urged his parents to help him build a ship and accompany him in his travels, but they only agreed to the former, arguing that Egrea was the place where they had fallen in love, and so they were not worried about its promised downfall. Seeing that, as things were, this meant that he might not see them again, Kagami promised to someday return with the fruits of his labor, to share stories with them the same way they had with him.

The years that followed saw Kagami traveling around Tyragrande alongside a group of friends, becoming the pilot of his own skyship. His life was not just that of an adventurer, but also that of a treasure hunter [Although rather than steal, he'd merely write what he found about them], and this often got him into trouble with local authorities, from which he had to escape from a good dozen times in the past. His luck began to run out when, one day during his expeditions to a certain island, he came across a temple and ended up -accidentally- waking a strong primal beast. The island was swallowed in its rage and entire villages were destroyed. More importantly, a mysterious curse caused Kagami's body to revert into that of a little child. His crew, eager to abandon the island, didn't recognize him and so he was left for dead. Believing the primal beast to be the source of his misfortune, Kagami set to undo his wrong-doings. Having investigated the creature's myth and origin, he developed a plan to calm it down. Sadly, he didn't have enough strength to pull it off and was promptly defeated. A certain female hero appeared at that time, when Kagami was about to lose consciousness, a mysterious figure whose strength defied reason: Someone who those familiar enough would call 'an Eternal'.

When Kagami woke up, he had been nursed back to health, but his position was no better. He had been captured by the Zweite army and accused of being the cause of the whole incident [which was actually true]. Moreover, even though the Primal Beast had returned to its slumber, his body had not returned to normal! You'd think Zweite would be kind enough not to throw a kid into prison, but what do you know? To them, he looked like a Harvin with undeveloped ears-!

And so, under the guise of a human kid -a harvin to some-, he waits for an opportunity to escape to arise.

Inventory:
- A good number of grimoires.
- A compilation of old Tyragrande maps and notes, mostly outdated.

I never played anything related to the franchise, but given that I'm a filthy weeb, jrpg sky-exploration with magic and primordial beasts is riiiiiiiiight up my alley.

Quick question though: Do you have to have an element, or could people be elementless, too?

Elements are not optional, mostly since so long as you were born in any area with ether saturating the air (Basically anywhere in the entire world) you've been exposed to it, and have consequently developed an elemental affinity. You don't necessarily HAVE to have any fancy schmancy elemental attacks or anything, but that's generally how it goes for Skyfarers. The only things that could potentially be element-less would be non-playable Primal Beasts, or something like a robot.

I really like the detail you went into with the island that separates it from all the others I've seen so far. Islands falling is a rare thing in Granblue, but I can definitely see it if the island itself is at a significantly lower altitude. I also like that he is basically a mage, something that hasn't really been picked as a role by anybody in the crew. I also like that an eternal showed up in your backstory, without it being the most major event. Someone with helmsman experience is definitely useful, even if he can't really see above the wheel.

Overall, a really nice character. Go ahead and pop him over to the Character tab.

Planning to start around Tuesday, since we still have three other people make character sheets. I dunno how long the intro escape segment is going to be, and I'd rather avoid someone just popping into the background of the escape. As such, after that, it gets a lot easier to intro new characters as just natives of some island, or whatever.

If you, or anybody else for that matter, need help with your character sheet, don't hesitate to ask me for help. I'm dumb, so a lot of setting details might not be super clear in my writing.

Might not be doable, as Hyyde and Burst have taken both the water slots. So, unless Hyyde drops, you kinda can't.

But, you could take the last Dark or Light slot. Really sorry about that, I forgot to update the first page of the OOC.

One last quick question: Are we free to create islands/culture among the give/take 300 islands? I have an idea for a character, but I'd like to create some context for why she is who and how she is, so I was just wondering.
