Bio

I'm a generally chill gomboblin that can be kinda particular. I grew up with plenty of electronics and video games, mostly with games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and StarCraft. Lots of Nintendo. Dark Cloud is pretty sick. That's a lot of variety, and I do like to play a lot of different games. I like to blend magic and technology in my writing, bringing fantasy into space and sci-fi.

Magic in space is something that I find isn't done very much. Airships and spaceships could make for some cool centerpieces. Skies of Arcadia did a fantastic job of this. Perhaps that's not in space, exactly, but it's pretty close. Some of those ships may as well be space ships.

Think of her as more as an AI? Vortex is comprised of energy, and requires a crystal matrix or Serenity to exist. To a limited extent, Vortex can power machinery hooked up to a crystal matrix, but auxillary power supplies are required for intense operation, like Serenity's mecha. Moreover, Vortex cannot use magitech to make magitech, including circuitry. That must all be made by Serenity. The magitech components can be manipulated and broken down, but not reconstructed by Vortex without special machinery. Enough material was brough with for reconstruction with limited material fabrication.
Sorted out how?

And Vortex isn't really a spirit, either. Calling it Otherness was a little misleading, sorry. It was just the thing that fit best.
A young lady with short white hair and heterochromatic eyes strode through the streets. One was gold, the other purple. She was dressed in cropped and cut red robes, more suitable to warm weather than a full robe. She carried a small harp, propped against her shoulder, and she strummed it idly. She played a gentle, upbeat tune, reflecting her mood. The magess minstrel watches the people she passes, and her surroundings as they change, keeping mostly to herself.

She was passing by outside when someone kicked open the doors to a guildhall. Naturally, it drew her attention. She plucks out a set of strings to imply mystery or strangeness, and her melody came to a pause. She decided to follow this person inside, and investigate what was happening. It caught her attention, after all. It had to make her wonder what kind of music she would find within. To begin... This somewhat saloon or tavern feel earns it Gunpowder Tea.
It's not really Otherness, though. She can't communicate with Spirits or anything, only Vortex, and there's a reason for that.

I guess I could just drop Otherness, really. Vortex is the only real instance of it, anyway.
So I do. Dunno how that happened. I'll switch it later, using the forums from my phone is annoying.

So, with that cleared up...?
I'll do that soon. I'm at work right now.
Isn't creation magic a kind of holder magic? It comes from the caster, not an item.
Well, that would be pretty lame, in my opinion.
Energy Make? Mmm... well, it's a creation magic, unique in that it forms energy (perhaps raw magic? I dunno), instead of something more... substantial. Things formed with it will lose form without concentration, though maybe it's less susceptible to Time Magic?
Speaking of selecting schools of magic... I'd like to take a moment to point out that one of Serenity's schools isnt a proper school, but somewhere in between two of them. Closer to Energy than Otherness, though.

I figured, since it wasn't learned normally, that particular magic of hers could be... strange.
