I miiight make a Fairy secondary character. But I’m not sure

World of Light

Pokémon: Hatenna, Elgyem, Galarian Ponyta, Alcremie
Location:
Level 2 Exp 7/20
Word Count: 193

The battle raged on, and for the most part Bede followed Geralt. Assisting wherever he could. It was a chaotic scene. Trucks were crashing into each other, Roxas freed that man that was questioning him and Geralt back at the pet store. And through it all, Bede took cover behind the magic shields Pit had put up. He had to imagine this would have been easier if the angel boy could fly properly… He kept quiet, for now.

Eventually, their copter arrived, and it was on their way to the next destination. Throughout the trip, Bede petted and kept his Pokémon entertained.

When they arrived at their destination, Bede took a seat, and it was time to ask question. Of course neither of them knew the answer to the question the group actually wanted to know, so they went around the table asking whatever it was they wanted to know. “My turn. What I want to know is, do you have any Pokémon here? Or… failing that since apparently some people don’t even know what Pokémon are… Do you have any sort of interesting creatures roaming about? Ones that can be tamed preferably.”

What were you thinking for the elemental affinity? I would suggest Air, because then they could eventually fly around as they're teleporting that would also pair well with telekinesis.

@CaptainManbeard

Sooo Psychic/Flying then. xD

I am going with the race of elves that can shapeshift. Apart from that, they mostly use their universal magic/cosmic magic. Telekinesis, projecting illusions to mess with people, telepathic communication, potential teleportation at some point.

In Pokémon terms, Taeral is a Psychic type. xD

I’m behind on the Marvel TV shows. I’ve only finished Wandavision. I’ve seen all the movies.

I’ll have to think about that one. 🤔

Okay, cool! Though, you'd still be attuned to one of the four elements, so feel free to toy around with that. And for the appearance altering part, you could always have that as a racial trait, similar to a Changeling or a Skrull.

Shit, I totally forgot about that option before. Racial abilities not tied to magic. So, as long as it's not too overpowered, everyone can feel free to add racial traits to their characters, such as wings, darkvision, heightened senses, form-shifting (such as lycanthropes), etc.

@CaptainManbeard

I can’t imagine why an elf would have that as a racial trait though.

Telekinesis would be covered by Universal Magic, and you could flavor some of the elements to cast illusions, such as using water vapor/moisture in the air to reshape the flow of light through the atmosphere around you, kind of like casting a rainbow. Or you could use air itself to reshape the light. Or you could have that covered by Universal Magic as well by using mild telepathy similar to the original idea for Cerebromancy.

@CaptainManbeard

Yeah, I’m probably going to use the Universal magic route.

Qrowdell Academy (magical school RP)

Hmm, so if I wanted to keep the casting illusions and telekinesis, what plane would I go with?

Qrowdell Academy (magical school RP)

I think the choice between these affinities and the D&D schools would largely hinge on one of two viewpoints in deciding how magic is built fundamentally.

1) the utility and general effect of a person's magic is intrinsic, and they learn to express that form through various elements or "lenses." (D&D system) Someone born into Evocation would be able to utilize that through blasts of fire, lightning, ice, force, sound and so on, but night need training to branch out to Conjuration before they can summon anything.

2) the flavor of one's magic is intrinsic, and how they refine it to specific uses is learned (your original system and mine). Someone born of pyromancy can shoot blasts of fire and summon fire elementals, but might need training to branch out and perform those same blasts or summons for lightning, ice, force, sound and so on.

Personally, for a non-stats non-dice rp, I prefer the 2nd method.

@Light

I like the second one too

I just want cool powers.
