Fantasy Save the world interest check- The Fight for Valeroma

alright guys! we need a guide and another CO, and then I'll close signups. When that happens, and all characters have been approved, I will open the IC.

Sure!

I had a question about races though- if Elves are inherently magical, and humans are inherently non-magical, where do half elves sit? If there is a such thing as half elves. I'm toying with the idea of a sort of semi-magical pit fighter. Less shooting fireballs and more like elementally enhanced punches, short range telekinetic/elemental fists, and the like.

I was also playing with the idea of a sort of arcane archer- lightning bolt arrows anyone?

@vietmyke

I haven't finished with either of their backgrounds, honestly.

I can say for almost certain a half elf/human would not be likely to happen. And if it did, the parents and the kid would be outcasts. And to elves, family and culture is everything, so to be outcast would be to basically die to who they are.
Humans are...very fearful. They don't trust the other races...at all; with the possible exception to the dragons since they have proven to be protectors. But with elves, dwarves, and especially shifters, they keep themselves separate. They are led by fear of the unknown. Yes, there are a lot of good humans who see the good in everyone. What modern day people would call "humanitarian." People who go out and fight for what's right, equality, all that good stuff. (I am one of those, by the way.) They may even be the majority, but they are still fearful of the unknown and their first instinct is to shoot first, ask questions later. If a human were to have a kid with another race, they would be socially outcast, and possibly kicked out and disowned by their family.

Now, if it were to happen, then yes, magic could be present. But to a very limited extent. I'm talking less than half the normal magical ability a full elf would have. And they would have a hard time controlling it for a long time. The elemental punches would not be enough to knock a person across the room, but it would give them an edge up. Does that make sense?

Thank you. I will make some adjustments and send it to you via PM if that's alright.

@Mistress Dizzy

That works with me.

Fantasy Save the world interest check- The Fight for Valeroma

I'm interested in this :)

@Fetzen

Awesome! Would you like me to reserve a CO for you? You could go ahead and get the CS filled out if you’d like

Kass the Dragon

Name: Kassandra
Age (18+ please): 153, considered a young adult for a dragon
Gender: Female
Race: Water Dragon
Appearance: Kassandra is chubby with dark skin and seafoam white hair. She has strange, forked ears that mark her as inhuman, but they don’t look elven and she’s too tall to be a dwarf. Despite having a sweet smile, she has a carnivore’s teeth. She usually dresses a bit outside of fashion as she can’t quite keep up with trends over the many years. Her dragon form is a pastel blue and white.
Personality: Kassandra is gentle and caring, and looks like she couldn’t hurt a fly. In truth, she could do so easily, but only if the fly was hurting others. While she has few friends, she tends to take good care of the people under her watch. Beware her if you ever get her angry.
Strengths: swimming, cooking, staff combat, water magic, singing
Weaknesses: Hot days, bad food, weapons with anti-dragon properties, deserts, dehydration
Brief Bio: Kassandra has served as the local fishing village’s guardian for over 75 years. She helps with large catches, rescues people in storms, tosses brigands out of town, and sometimes teaches the children when their parents are off on sea voyages. She has not left the town in some time, because she is comfortable there. Unfortunately, life isn’t all comfort. Being chosen will test everything she knows, and is.
Other:

I'm not sure I like this or not, but it's what I've got so far. Please feel free to take it to pieces if necessary.

@Mistress Dizzy

Based on your description, Kass would be considered a dragon shifter. Dragons only have the one form of dragon.
You can feel free to flesh her out if you would like(:

Decisions, decisions. Lol

I'm leaning a bit more towards the elf, tbh. I haven't played on in a while and a pyromancer sounds like fun. I'll build more on her when work calms down again

@Moonshadow

That’s valid. I’m excited to see what they end up being!

Fantasy Save the world interest check- The Fight for Valeroma

We just need 3 COs and the Guide and I’ll get the official IC up

Fantasy Save the world interest check- The Fight for Valeroma

@Bitterblue111 Yes, please reserve a spot. And thanks for changing the dragon thing. Now I know what kind of character to play.

@Mistress Dizzy

No problem, I’ll add ya

@Bitterblue111

Ok, so two character ideas from me:

Elf mage/fighter - fire themed spells, bow, and long sword for melee.
Having trouble coming up with spell consequences aside from legit burning her up. Which, could be an interesting trait; she'd had burn scars along her arms already, maybe charcoal'd flesh? Her clothes would have to be magically imbued to keep from searing off anytime she uses magic, thay sort of thing. Due to the painful ramifications of her magic, she took up physical combat skill sets so she wouldn't be 100% reliant on spells.

Dwarf fighter/barbarian - big "af" axe or warhammer (for a Dwarf), mildly armored, hit them hard so they can't hit back kind of vibes. if any magic ability is there it comes in the form of his/her primal rages (ie path of the beast 5e) consequences: tapping into this ability leaves lingering "beast marks" in the form of fangs/sharp teeth, extra hair/fur on body, or claws -- not sure if that borders too closely to how the shifters work though

Let me know you thoughts and/or if one of them fits better for the setting :)

@Moonshadow

I like both ideas, honestly.
With your elf idea, that would work as a consequence.
Shifters are able to completely change their form. Vivian is an elf/dragon shifter, one of the rarer ones. She was born from another dragon shifter and elf, so that’s where she got her shifting ability.
Dwarves are one of the magic races, but it’s very very rare. And it’s normally not very powerful magic either.
