Age: 25

Species: 2nd or 3rd gen Avian Chimera's

Gender: Male / Female

Occupation: Students of magic. Teacher's of martial arts.

Personality:

• Openness: 7
• Neuroticism: -7
• Agreeableness: -2
• Extroversion: -4
• Conscientiousness: 9

Biography:

The two have barely ever been seen apart. Their history is one shrouded with a bit of uncertainty, not that they avoid the topic, they just have very little to say on the matter. They are both borderline obsessive with self improvement and joined the school at a very young age. Within a few years they surpassed most of their educators in the ways of martial combat yet in matters of magic they clearly lagged. While they posses the skill to teach they still struggle with the social graces required.

Attributes: (45)

• Strength: 5
• Constitution: 4
• Agility: 12
• Dexterity: 10
• Intelligence: 6
• Charisma: 3
• Aesthetics/Appearance: 5

Magic Type Preference: Foundation enforcement (anti magic)
Innate Magic Talent: Telepathic bond of twins.

They have two names and two bodies but they are so physically and mentally identical, with such a long history and powerful telepathic bond that they are basically one in the same. They can often lose any sense of self identity.
What one knows so does the other. What one sees, feels, hears or smells, so does the other. They are different only in the way your left hand is deferent from your right. Like two limbs of the same body.

Interests: Sword fighting and being the best at it.
Skills: Sword fighting and martial combat. Acrobatics.

Azerus

---

It was finally here. The day Azerus had long since been waiting for with both equal parts excited anticipation and anxious fear. His whole life was about to change and irregardless of the hardships ahead, it still had to be for the better than the ones passed.

Even though these were more his type of people Azerus still did his best to appear normal and blend in, more so out of habit then anything else. While he could change his form to many things he could never truly appear or pass as a pure human. There was always some form of heavy evidence to identify his true heritage.
As he walked with the group, silently amongst the shadows in the back, a heavy coat and an innocently placed backpack concealing his features and shoulder spikes, he curiously eyed every monstrous feature he could find amongst the other students.

He kept his head low during the trip but paused and looked up to momentarily admire the words scrawled into the gate.

'For the sake of progress.'

"Who's progress and to what ends?" He said softly to himself. Azerus was not beyond admiring the beauty of the impressive flower array that lay on the other side as he waited impatiently for the ceremony to begin.

Avall

---

Age: 17
Race: Half Orc
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Talent: Nature
History:
Born to a travelling troupe Avall saw much of the land before he was even old enough to remember.
His conception was not that of the stereotypical violent union between some savage orc and a helpless human but instead one comprising of two loving, compassionate and caring cast out half-breed parents.
Seeking a better life for their child they left him here where his story begins. All he knows is of the town he grew up in but he often dreams of the adventures that lie beyond the mountain walls.

Dragon Ball Z: Blood Lines

@Sebastian

Hider

Nah everyone seems pretty passionate about it.
I got excited and started it any way though.
It will easily transfer over to other fantasy settings. Some games you purchase, build and record your equipment, this is made for spells, magic and abilities instead.
If you got some time come check it out and help test it by making some moves and leaving feedback here. it's still very early stages.

Also since we're free-ballin power levels in this game gotta be careful of enemy progression in the arcs. That is if you want to hold onto any semblence of consistency. Can't go from universal hero to home town conflict. So if we beat an advanced robot army or defend against an alien space invasion then local laws and police suddenly mean nothing.

A treasure hunt would be good as it sets multiple little challenges across various locations but let's not make it dragon balls.
Country v country conflict. A neighbouring King / ruler suddenly wants all his ancient family heirlooms back and he is threatening to invade if they are not returned to him. Problem is, it's unknown where they all are.

Some are lost, others owned or hidden. In safe places, forgotten places, protected places, dangerous places.
A secret organisation wants war and for the artefacts to stay hidden.
Greedy people want to steal and sell them for their own gain.
Others just want to keep what belongs to them and won't give it up easily.

And of course there are two militaries accidentally or deliberately getting in the way all the time.

BUILDING A MOVE

---

Power Points

What are power points?
Earning power points?

Spending Points

Ways of spending
There are three stages of spending power points when learning any new move.
'Options','The build' and 'Extra's'.

Options:
This determines the shape and type of your technique. You will be presented with multiple options and required to pick one.
Sometimes this might just serve as aesthetics while other times it will be accompanied by various benefits/flaws and costs.

The build:
This is the heart of 'move creation.' Here you shape and define your move by choosing what attributes to spend your power points on. The more you spend in one place the stronger you make one aspect or attribute of a move and the more expensive it becomes to improve that detail. The strength of a certain aspect of a move is represented by *'s. At the start these are measured between 1 and 5.

Extra's:
This is where you add finishing touches. You can pick as many or as few as you like as long as they don't contradict one another. 'Negative' Extras actually reduce the total cost of your move.

Improvement Costs

During The build phase.
Most attributes of a move or technique will use the following score and cost system.
_{(first point cost 2, second 3, third 4, fourth 5, and so forth.)}
Score Example
* -2pp
* * -5pp
* * * -9pp
* * * * -14pp

Final form

Now you know how to select from the available options and apply any given modifiers.
You can sink extra points into your new moves making them unique with their own strengths and weaknesses.
And you also understand that you can pick some things from the extras to add that final touch.
All this will give you a new move with a final pp cost.
If it is within your budget the move is nearly ready for review, you just need to use the scores as a guideline to build the moves description.

Hi @Azereiah!
Just wanted to say I'm floating around.
Weren't we in a similar game together before?

Anyway I'm thinking of going for a more bulky and strong, less pretty monster character. Just trying to find a suitable image.
