After Era Mythos [Corpo-Heroes Powered by Fame]

Could be cool. I've always wanted to play a super idol or something

Return of a Failed Generation

No rush, just wanted to check in with everyone we haven't heard from in a bit. If anyone needs anything clarified or wants to discuss plot-stuff, please let me know or drop a PM!

@Zeroth

I can't really get a good character going after mulling over some ideas during this weekend, so I'll withdraw. I appreciate checking in though! Hope it goes well for everyone!

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

It would be pretty funny if there was a whole ass chain set up. I generally intend on creating a character whose major regret stems from never confessing their feelings for another character (whether NPC or PC) because they only wanted to do so after the war ended.

So naturally, when the war ends (via death into time travel), its time to go hard.

@ERode

If someone makes an exceptionally dense character, we can forego a chain and instead just go full harem on them!

Joking aside I wouldn't mind being a part of something like that. It could be an interesting arc if my character has to get over a one-sided affection for their support target, knowing in advance that it wouldn't work out or something like that. Or perhaps learning that they had someone else the entire time?

Actually that makes me wonder, is there any way of the PCs knowing there are other returners? I don't know if they'd all have motivations to share it with everyone but it's kind of a needle in a haystack situation if they don't know and don't have a incentive to tell each other

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

I suppose it's time to buckle down and start workshopping a character.

Anyone want a mainly-helpful-maybe-just-a-little-obsessive friend for their PCs, just let me know! I'm still thinking the supporter type could be fun (obviously they're still going to have some other things going on though)

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

So if there was a practiced mage who was sent back, due to the knowledge-based nature of magic as described, they would basically still have their failed timeline magic ability completely intact? As compared to an Aura which would likely need at least some training since it's more of a muscle than pure technique?

I'm not necessarily calling it out as an imbalance and maybe you answered that question already but I just wanna be sure. I think having a magic system would be fine, though I might have a slight preference to just a wider array of Aura options over Aura and Magic coexisting.

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

I can throw some interest in for this. Would be fun to make a character who uses their second chance to support/protect another PC who maybe had something terrible happen to them in the failed timeline (or maybe they just didn't meet or understand until it was too late?). A little Kuroko-esque perhaps

Landing in New World

I've got some interest.

What kind of tech level did you have in mind? Modern day or a little ahead? Or something else entirely?

A New Day; Cozy Fantasy Village Life

I'm here too, I just had a busy last few days.

From the IC:

Generally sopeking, whether it is a spell learned from a tome or a spell from a staff/wand, a spell can only do ONE thing. There are no "manipulation" or "amorphous" spells that can be used for both offensive, defensive and utilitarian purposes. If you have a spell that creates a small area of darkness, then it will just create a small area of darkness - it cannot turn things invisible or effect the surroundings. Likewise, if you use a spell that creates a firebolt, you cannot turn it inot mutliple projectieles or use it as a torch. Well, I guess you could hurl it down a hallway and follow the light with your eyes, but it'd go out as soon as it hit a solid object.

Other than this, she herself is fine in terms of everything else.

All right, I get that. I was kind of just working off of classic DND style cantrips which group a bunch of minor effects into a single spell. So basically, I'd have to break them up and make them more strictly defined/less versatile in what they can do? Would it still be feasible for her to have a bunch of novice-type spells in that vein?

Varisse WIP

Name: Varisse Z'Rox
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Elf

Appearance:

I'll have a sketch up soon.

Height: 165cm/5'5"ish
Eye Color: Gray
Hair Color: Black

Description:
Tall for an elf, though still fairly short amongst humans, Variss often gives an impression of quiet indignation at all times, perhaps due her default expression usually being a minor scowl.

Not having given up on her role as a wizard, she still wears her apprentice robes despite no longer being a part of any magic-user organization. Despite their constant use, she keeps them in shape through constant magic repair.

Her appearance is usually well-kept, though as a day drags on her clothes and hair may end up in disarray depending on how things are going for her.

Personality:
Varisse has an inferiority complex due to being (in her own eyes) a failed mage, and it often causes her to come off as distant at best and abrasive at worst. Though she feels like she has a higher calling than what she ended up doing as a wanderer, she can't bring herself to turn a blind eye to someone in need, even if she complains the entire time.

Her unique magic inclinations have led to her being rather creative in finding solutions to problems, though this also means that she often tries many things that fail before she succeeds.

Quirks:
List one or more peculiar traits or habits of your character.
-Chronically plays with her hair when distracted, flustered, or lost in thought. This is the main cause of her hair becoming messed up over the course of a day.
-Sleeps with a plushie that is impeccably clean and well-maintained that she has had from birth. Would never admit it.

Brief History:
Varisse showed early inclinations towards magic usage from an early age, so she was tutored in magic tradition and slated to be an apprentice mage at a prominent wizard's tower. In essence, she was clearly slated to be a future figure in the world of magic...

But she couldn't cast anything good. She studied meticulously, tried any school of magic she could discover, and she could never cast anything other than minor trifles. While the mages of the tower found it interesting that she could have such a breadth of casting ability, they ultimately only found it as a passing curiosity and not as a sign of a future archmage as she had desired.

Seeing that she had no future as a caster who could only cast the most basic spells, she left the wizard's tower and wandered the nearby areas, using her wide but shallow magical abilities to take odd jobs for townsfolk. Over some time she gained a bit of a reputation as a handywoman who could help out with almost any mundane task... much to her chagrin.

--- My House ---

Until the RP actually starts and you guys get a feel for what the village looks and feels like, please leave this section alone.

Location: Where in, or outsde, the village is your home located.
Type: Is it just a residence? SOme kind of shop? A facility of some kind?
Floors: Is it a single or multi-storey building?

Description:
Here you can describe the out and inside of yoour building, along with any special or notewrothy aspects of it. If you're feeling articularly creative, you could even include a floor-plan for others to look at, if you're into the artsy drawing biz.

Not really sure on the magic, I wanted to kinda capture the prestidigitation type effects but I'm open to tweaking them all still. If there's anything off-base let me know.

Cozy Fantasy Village-Life RP

I think I'll go with the "cantrip master" type idea and start putting together a sheet, hopefully I'll at least have a WIP in a day or so
