[@SilverPaw] The only names 'locked' are the names Bilica, Fontaine, and Hoar; you could create another name and say they're one of the old families who founded New Hope, or one of the pioneer families who came shortly after. The village operates on a communal vote, but the old names have some weight to them, so it's not a critical factor but can certainly be a fun one. As for the rest of the concept ideas, whilst New Hope is a small village it is still in a modern world; internet, cell use, etc, are all valid so having the small town kid trying to make it big online is certainly an amusing and valid idea, and a vet/animal hospital inclined person would also be sensible for a town with a reliance on farming and fishing. The fantasy halves of the ideas will more or less be universally valid. For those aspects of the characters fill out the character sheet appropriately and let me know what your desire for the character is in the OOC or a DM or whatever. a 'Warlock' tends to imply a patron or source of power, so if those kinds of vibes are what you're looking for just make that clear otherwise I'll be moving along with the basic idea that simply being in Yo'Bikur will eventually grant people powers innately. Something like 'Alchemy' will generally be a learned skill anyone could pick up, which could certainly be pursued in-character. lastly, Thanks :)
