Sorta yes sorta no. It's more akin to a title. Literally it means "Those who lose themselves in battle", but formally it refers to Berserker Barbarians. Something being named Katalmach is weird, akin to calling yourself "Blackbeard" or "Goblin Slayer" as your actual name, at least among orcs. Natch, as Katalmach is the name of a rather infamous pirate nowadays, lots of orcs would name themselves Katalmach in an attempt to ape it's reputation, which has mixed results. Most of the time orcs or anyone familiar with the name hears it, expect eyerolls since it usually means someone is trying to seem tougher by using someone else name. Anyone who doesn't know the name by reputation but does know orcish may just think whoever named that orc is weird.

Some people need to make a hard choice when deciding which two karaoke streams they want to listen to. I have no such weakness: I have two ears for a reason.

The hard part about trying to play some politically savvy mastermind is the assumption that the world operates off real world politics and not your DM’s politics.

Don't put too much stock in prophesies. At best they're full of shit, but more often than not they're one of those self-fullilling kinds. Plan for what happens afterwards instead.

A character isn't deep or compelling just because you let them get hurt a lot, are always depressed, or do morally questionable things.

Bio
If you're here either you're wondering what I'm doing cause I need to post in your RP (In which case, calm yo tits, I'll get around to it), or you want to know who I am. So let's begin.
I'm a college age asian kid who has more heart than he has senses. I'm still working out this whole "adulthood" thing, so until then I just do what I feel I must. As far as personality and traits go, I'm not one for boasting. So if there's anything redeeming about myself you'd have to figure it out in person or by word-of-mouth. Generally however I'm rather perverted, in the best and worst ways. nothing is too much until I've crossed the line, and that just means I've started.
As far as Roleplays I like, I have a thing for fantasy, though I'm also good for some types of sci-fi, supernatural, Modern, and slice-of-life. If it's open and sandbox, I'll probably join it. Never really been a romantic, I often chose to sexualize any notion of romantic encounters I come across. I generally write at Casual quality, though I have no issues with Free-Level Rp/Players and I can hold my own in Advance.

At the moment I would prefer just one character per player, as the RP is intended to be focused around a small group.
Generally speaking, there are three things that allows a student to take lessons in the Esoteric Schools of magic. The first and most obvious is simply being a well-known and long term student of the college. The students who don't really bother to stand out in any positive way at the school will often be denied access to the Esoteric schools simply because the college doesn't know them well enough to trust them with such magics.
Secondly, it requires sponsorship from an organization outside of the college. There's a lot of backdoor politics about the Esoteric schools of magic, so basically anyone who wants to learn them must be held responsible by either a reputable organization or even a government. Aka if the Fantasy CIA of the Elven Kingdom sends a letter to the college and says "this person is going to be one of our agents and we want them to learn Necromancy".
And the last is simply testing and passing to show you do have the ability to control the various magics of the Esoteric school. Usually this is simply a show of magic ability that you would presumably have learned and honed as you were taking primary schools, but it can also rely on how well you respond to magic of the esoteric school as well. So if you want to be a necromancer, you'll be tested to see how well your body and mind handles having your life energy directly manipulated, since that's a thing that Necromancers will do. Or if you're going to be a telepath, how well your mind handles being invaded or constantly hearing everyone's thoughts, emotions, and so forth, often over the course of a few days or even weeks.
Magic itself is already dangerous for people who only have an academic knowledge of it, and even well practiced mages must be careful not to over do it. The Esoteric school is even more dangerous not just because of the power they wield, but also because using them generally is more threatening to the user than the primary schools. There's a very real possibility that even if you have enough control over magic not to suffer from blood sickness, the spells themselves could end up doing yourself in if you aren't adequately prepared to handle them. But again, that's what the school is for, and why most students would never really touch the Esoteric schools beyond whatever they may research on their own time. Naturally, you as players could be the exception if you're willing to take on the trials to learn. But don't expect this to be a thing you can do right off the bat.

An excellent idea. Sticky probs doesn't expect you to be paying him, but he will usually get money his own way, such as selling off loot or just splitting the reward with you or something. Perhaps it's something you could discuss with him as you two look for some work to do. I can assure you, there's plenty of work to be done.
I got an idea how to stop his sentinel ability, but man I gotta wait and see how this all pans out first.
Aw shit, bad guy with a feat! That's going to make things extremely annoying, but I got plans. When it's my turn at least.
Thanks to Blue's quick thinking, that damned warrior wasn't able to do much! While he ended up casting a cantrip, at least it wasn't a stronger spell. "You can't escape me!" Orchid swiped at the man, this time her blade finally biting into his body and doing some damage. As he goes to engage the others, Orchid moves down and tries to stop him by lunging with her glaive. Once more she was confident her blow struck, however she also knew it was a relatively weak blow. Still damage was damage. "Azzen, Najila, get outta here! Me and Blue will take care of this dastard!" Orchid readied herself once more to intercept and attack the man if he tries to make another move for it. Hopefully the others will be able to deal with the wizard and whatever is up ahead.
Ugh, maybe that's what I should've done with my attacks. Botching my action surge is just.... Bleh.
Orchid bemoaned her relative sluggishness as the others managed to get ahead of her, even her enemies. By the time she was able to catch up to the others she took some sort sonic spell at near point-blank, however she wasn't going to falter so easily. Angus and Aron seemed to be after the wizard, but this masked Man was armed with quite an impressive set of armor and a glaive, not to mention dangerously close to the group. "Scatter! Don't let him try that again!" Orchid repositioned herself, mindful of keeping this dastard within reach of her glaive. With her Alter Armament she was able to keep her weapon's reach without dropping her shield, making her at least as tough as he was. "PALKAS!" Orchid roared as she lashed out at the armored figure, however her blow failed to land. Not one to give up, she called forth her inner reserves and lashed out a second time, though she knew the blow was not solid as it deflects off his armor. "Fuck!" With her offensive efforts effectively ended there, Orchid went into a defensive stance to ready herself if this man tried to make a run for it.
Well, I don’t got it physically, I poached it off a friend of mines and was looking through it. Sharing is caring!
In any case, do you need any help for your post? If you don’t have anything else you wanna do this night, I can skip to morning.
