@PaulHaynek - I got the character's appearances up. I'm planning a joint writing sample featuring the two of them but I'm holding off because if Gangraena simply cannot be I'll have to do some major rewrites to both Leomund and the character replacing her and that's if I don't scrap both of them and write up someone else. Also I made the changes to Gangraena, removing the resistance to dark magic as well as her healing effect from curses.

Anyhow here's the updated sheets, complete with everything except the writing sample.

@PaulHaynek - There are a couple things I'll argue in her defense.

Firstly as far as toughness goes she's fairly strong but her flesh is no tougher than most light elves. She's far easier to put together but depending on the damage sustained that can be made quite a bit harder. I've put a high resistance to dark spells and the ability to shirk certain types of curses but all other forms of magic work just as intended on her. By herself she's a powerhouse physically but her range and especially her speed are both lacking. Her attacks tend to be big single hit strikes while she makes little effort in dodging, usually opting to sustain blows in favor of a more aggressive attack.

Secondly while she is definitely more powerful than Leomund who quite frankly sucks when he's left alone they do make a potent team. This said she is not a student at the academy so plots that exclude outsiders will typically leave her uninvolved. She is by large a secondary character so her involvement will be largely circumstantial, especially for the tournament arc where her role will be quite passive indeed. When she is involved as a team they are quite powerful but Leomund will always be the weak link in the duo. Taking him out makes Gangraena much easier to fight as it deprives her of his support magic.

If needed I can remove the resistance to dark spells to give her a bit more magic vulnerability since she lacks the ability to cast spells herself. If you have any other suggestions regarding changes I'll definitely be watching out for input.
@PaulHaynek - I've decided to change the second character to downplay the reanimation concept so now it's more organic in nature. The only thing missing from the sheets currently are the appearances. I'll be adding those after a short break but I felt like sharing what I've got written thus far since all of the sufficiently important details are already covered. Hopefully these two are acceptable. The appearances shouldn't take long to write.

@PaulHaynek Alright. I suppose redefining this character's state as "Questionably alive" in that they aren't wholly dead but also behave rather different from most living beings would be more appropriate?
@PaulHaynek - Excellent news that. I may be able to suffice for one but for the other there simply is little substituting anything else in for it.

As far as your mention regarding death and spirits the method of reanimation is barred only to extremely powerful beings such as gods correct? Is there a concrete understanding to which entities exist in this realm that fit something close to that description or is that flexible? I'm happy to discuss possible alterations to the background I'm designing for her if you have changes that would help make her better suit your setting. I'll have something more concrete to present when I finish her background. I'm just doing my student's background first before I get to her CS.
Excellent. I shall get my CS's written up.

@PaulHaynek - By the way, in regards to appearance is an image strictly requires or will text suffice?
@PaulHaynek - That both sounds good. I'll see to getting both sheets written up when the CS is introduced and we can figure out how this accompanying character to the student character fits into this world.
This rp has caught my interest. I've got an idea for what I want to do for a character but I do have a couple questions first, just some matters to ascertain that apply to my concept.

#1: How many characters are we allowed to control? The concept I'm angling for calls for two, a student and his companion.

#2: How is necromancy seen in this kingdom? Is it super secret and forbidden? Accepted as a legitimate practice? Does it even exist?
@LordOfTheNight This could be quite interesting. I have at least two character concepts in the ole' closet that I could drag out for this particular rp, ones that haven't quite gotten the chance to make it past the introductions and still have plenty of potential for development left in them.

Just a question, what power level should we shoot to meet? My ideas range from more street level carnage to something of a city shaker. If you want I can describe them both and let you decide which one holds closest to your general preference.
Sorry for the wait on the stats, had a lot to do the last couple days. Hopefully this is all in line with the directions listed.
