Interested.

Time as in time travel, or temporal manipulation too?

Both. This is way too easy to abuse. A pseudo telekinesis using gravity is fine though.

The equation for speed is S=DXT(Speed=distanceXtime) so that flipped would be Time=speed Divided by distance. So in laymans(Non scientific) terms that would mean that time control would be posible to decrease time but it would take a large amount of speed to slow time down even a little bit.

Me is interested :P Though my posting pace might not be too quick, is that alright?

[Gargoyle]

All good, as long as you post. Expect an OoC within 3-4 hours.

[Forsythe]

That avatar... damn it Frettzo xD

[lydyn]

I might be interested ... a couple questions; are there other races besides humans (doubt it, but might as well ask)? And second, can there be knowledge based magic? Just curious. ^.^

[Gargoyle]

No, just humans and sprites, sorry D:.
As for magic, describe to me what you have in mind and I'll tell you what I think.

[lydyn]

No, no need to be sorry. ^.^ Mostly ... I have this idea of using supernatural combat which is;

"Users possess immense combat skills, both offensive and defensive, which may be innate, honed or both.

This encompasses speed, strength, precision, reflexes, technique, analysis, control, adaptation and all aspects of practical fighting. Depending on the users, they may be specialized on specific types of weaponry (melee, ranged, natural, etc.), and invariably wield them with surreal efficiency. Most observers are simply incapable to understand what's happening, only a user being able to gauge the skill of another."

Now given, she probably wouldn't be on this level yet, but much more noticeably better at martial combat. Weakness would be the lack of using ranged or targeted based magic. The question I asked was because I'm wondering if my character needs to know techniques first or whether her magic might grant her supernatural knowledge into combat.

[Zombehs]

Actually, wait scrap that.

Not basically, but similar to Gandalfr runes from Zero no Tsukaima, minus the whole familiar part, if anyone is familiar with that.

*cringe*
v = x/t, not x·t, and only in straightforward unaccelerated motion. What deals with time dilation caused by gravity is general relativity, what you used is dynamics...

Nerd rant aside, i think my char's done and ready to go >:D

[Laue]

Now for the OOC to be posted wait we have to.

[Gargoyle]

I'm putting a delay on the OoC since I've been a bit busy. Post your characters here, then I'll transfer them to OoC when it's up~

[lydyn]

Just waiting on your thoughts on my comments. :p

Oh, sorry, I forgot >_<.
The problem I have with this, is that it goes against the idea I have for an almost purely magical combat RP.

[lydyn]

Ah... well... that's okay... lol. Been having trouble fitting this character into any RP, so no worries. If I think of something else that might fit here, I'll post, otherwise good luck!

[Forsythe]

OK, here goes

Gifted name: Maho the Summoner (Maho Takase)
Sprite name: Greed the Avaricious
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Clothing is a subject of frequent change seeing she can just create different pieces


Affinity: Conjuring
Spells:
Red line - current progress. Maho can only use the spells above.
For the spells that require Greed's help, Maho will first have to learn the summoning family, then conjuring until finally being able to unlock creating.
Whims of the moment are spells that create disposable things and are the easiest to learn, Servants of man are things that last some time and then are discarded and repalced. Worldly desires are family of spells that summon things that are meant to last, and their summoning takes longer than the others.

Background:
Born as the only child in a filthy rich family, father spoiled Maho rotten. Living a life of luxury, she has grown in a place when all she had to do to get something was ask for it. Her life of a princess ended at her 17th birthday, when she to her displeasure found she had a conjuring affinity. To make matters worse, her at the time untrained and uncontrolled magic made her create a birthday cake, in front of everyone's eyes.

Scared soulless of magic, Maho's world shattered in the same way as her parents' love for their own child. In the span of a single day, she was being taken by unknown men to a boat that would take her to Ractem, with her parents not even seeing her off and giving her nothing but the clothes on her back. Feeling grief, betrayal and anger, she sworn she'd return and reclaim her heirloom once day.

Since then, Maho has been training her affinity on her own, quickly finding out she didn't need father's money anymore. She could - with enough training, trial and error - make everything she could want. This however atracted attention. After a spectacularly failed attempt at summoning a bridge from Ractem back to Farnae she was hopelessly unprepared for, Maho ended up unconscious for several days. During that time, her soul cried out for more power.

Drawn by her calling was one sprite in particular, one that demanded to have it all, and seen Maho as a way to get it eventually. This was a year ago, and Greed was her eternal companion since. Despite having the power to take over her body, Greed only does so when it feels like it, actually preferring Maho's company. After all, Maho is something it wanted.

Personality:
Maho is a typical spoiled brat who never had to do honest work. She is pretty much incapable of thinking along those lines - her solution to everything lies in her conjuring, even if it's something so simple as getting food - unless it's good enough to be eaten as is and doesn't require much work like picking an apple off of a tree.

Greed is everything the sprite's name suggests. When it decides it wants something, it will not stop at anything to get it, often annoying Maho, who despite being quite avaricious, can not match the sprite and gives up rather easily, oftentimes whining about her good old younger years.

Ever since they joined, Maho's own greed has been growing, fed by the sprite. In the year she had with the sprite she chose to train herself to be able to one day satisfy their hunger for all things, but it is slow going, to the frustration of both of them.

Skills: None, except maybe counting money and recognizing the value of things. Without her magic, she would likely starve or get eaten by wildlife. She survived so far by hiding and running, or scaring the fauna off, usually with fire. However, coming from a rich family, her brain is her best weapon. Once can not be rich if they can't think of a way to climb to the top of the pile and then keep others to climbing there themselves.

Likes and Dislikes:
+ Sweets. Maho is obsessed with always having a munchie of some kind to keep her mouth busy.
+ Gold. The shiny yellow metal sways her every time.
+ People. Alone for so long on Ractem, she loves to keep people around if she stumbles upon them.
- Work. Don't mention that in front of her, especially is you think she is to do some.
- Normals. Ever since her 17th birthday, she's been harboring hate for the people that sent her away like she was some monster, especially her own family.

Description of Magic
Maho's magic can take many shapes. Literally. She is however incapable to summon anything from a distance. She is also limited by the mass of the summoned thing - there is only so much humanly possible. With greed however she has the boost to eventually do more, but drawing the sprite's power is a process so alien it is difficult for her to do so, no matter how large the summoned object is.

Just like size, precision is also rather taxing, but unlike the first case, this gets simpler the more she casts her spells. Greed also can not help her in this area. At present time, she's precise enough to summon something that looks like it was made by a very young apprentice smith, bent and uneven, but somewhat functional.

I'm very interested in this rp and I already have a character in mind. Could you reserve the Elemental Air Magic for me? I'll post my CS in awhile.
