@Lord of Evil Yep, you’re good to go!
@PigeonOfAstora They both look good! I’m going to go ahead and say both are accepted, and you can decide which of them you want to go with when the IC starts. I don’t wanna try to sway your decision, but there’s a particular NPC that I think could have some interesting interactions with Callum!
Also, I’m stoked to see so much interest! I’ll probably wait until we get a few more characters and then start the IC.

@Lord of Evil I wondered if that might be the case, can't ever trust Demons! And as long as you guys are okay with them having the same name it's fine by me.
Huh, two Mortimers, what are the odds?
@Timemaster Multiple characters are fine! So, a couple things: Do keep in mind that practicing necromancy in the open is kind of a no-go, so he'll need to be careful where he uses some of those spells. Secondly, if you wouldn't mind, could you PM some information about what the staff does? Lastly, with how his backstory turned out, would you say it's likely he was directed to the Academy by one of the surviving Witchfinders?
@Lord of Evil Looks great, just one small quibble with a detail in the short history: summoning Demons is almost always super dangerous, both because the process can be very volatile and because some Demons are world-threatening, so Richard's father probably wouldn't have managed to summon multiple Demons physically, though communing with them would certainly be an option, and then maybe an actual summoning when he disappeared. Secondly, and this is super minor, but not all Demons come from the same plane at least as far as anyone can tell, so its likely that Mortimer's political schemes would've either occurred in the human world or another plane besides his own, which actually lines up pretty well since most Demons travel between planes because their own homeplane was destroyed, so maybe some of Mort's schemes reached world-ending proportions. This could cause some fun issues if he happens to encounter another Demon. But other than that everything looks good! If you're cool with making some slight tweaks to the history you're welcome to add him to the character tab.
@Hammerman I'm more than willing to help you come up with one if you want!

@Scribe of Thoth Looks great! You can add him to the character list whenever you like.
@ShwiggityShwah Sorry to hear that, I understand though. Feel free to come on back at a later date if you get some free time later on, we’ll always be accepting new characters.

@Lord of Evil Yep! Trains, airships, all sorts of fun stuff.
@Scribe of Thoth It would still fall under pact magic in the majority of cases I think, you can make pacts with all sorts of entities, not just Demons and such, sorry if that wasn’t clear! There might be a few instances where thought manipulation/hypnosis could also work though. Just depends on the situation!
Also, a reminder that the list for schools of magic isn’t comprehensive, you guys are more than welcome to come up with your own if the options in the list don’t quite fit.

@Timemaster Yep yep, everything looks good! Feel free to add her to the characters tab. And I dunno, sounds would be a cool take as well, but there’s something unique about smells, it’s just the last thing you’d expect.
Oh, and stuff relating to luck with be something like “probability manipulation” and would probably be it’s own school to itself.

Ok I lied, I do have another question. What exactly would a pact magic spell be? I'm going to have it on my character but I have no idea what to do with it.
Okay, so basically it would depend on the Demon your character had a pact with. Pact magic would probably be closely associated with the patron themself, so if the Demon has a particular theme or domain associated with them, you could base their pact magic around that. For instance, a demon associated with war might have pact magic that creates cursed weapons, or a demon associated with misfortune might manipulate luck. Really there’s a lot of options. If you’ve got any ideas for the Demon I can help brainstorm some ideas.
