I'm always very careful not to make my characters too powerful which is why her perfect memory only pertains to visual sensory information and she has more combat weaknesses than strengths. I hate putting things in and having to trim it down because it's too much so I'd rather start with less so I can add to it later until I reach an acceptable limit with the GM.

@Midori

Well, in some ways, she'll be more valuable than others... but we'll see how things unfold. ^.-

My Cs dump

I was going to modify the cs for my character edwin in there since the rp i made him for never really kicked off. I saw a striking opportunity and I feel i could make a great sub character.

@notdeadyet

Oh neat, so a blacksmith!~

Legend by Fire

Too late to app?

@notdeadyet

Eh, kind of... haha, sorry. Having 6 people contend for one slot is already enough at this point. I can possibly put something in reserve though if you'd like and make a CS that's acceptable.

@lydyn After reading through the accepted characters I thought of something for Lady Saha. Should I list her powers of deduction as a skill to emphasize her analytical mind? She is after all the closest thing to a proper scientist and her learning addiciton coupled with her vast knowledge base as well as her background in alchemy imply that her critical thinking would be much greater than average but I didn't think that was really a skill since it has more to do with natural intelligence.

@Midori

Hm, good question. You can if you want! Cerylia would be naturally inclined for that, but... at the same time, she's not specifically trained. I guess that's the difference. Is Saha specifically experienced or training in deduction? If so, add it!~

Important notice!~

The rest of the individuals submitting their CS for the final and tenth character (@urukhai, @Earnest Evans, @Knight of Doom, @Pirouette, @Zero Hex, & @Jerkchicken) will have a special process for being accepted. Everyone who's been accepted (names attached below) will have to vote for who they think should be approved. You will get a first and second choice once I've presented all the CSs in one post.

Second Notice!~

I feel like I need to make this clear, just in case anyone is confused, because of all the questions, arguments, and discussions I've had over the past two days. This is a heroic tale. That means that there should be one reason or another that if your character sees something evil or someone getting hurt, that they should in simple terms go to the rescue, even if it's begrudgingly. There is a reason that I feel the need to have such individuals according to the plot and villain you'll be facing. If you feel like you're character is not this type of person, then please feel free to back out!

Accepted Players; @TheWizardLizard, @Irisity, @Pyromania99, @Inertia, @Mivuli, @Midori, @Raijinslayer, & @Spawnling

Legend by Fire

@urukhai, @Earnest Evans, @Knight of Doom, @Pirouette, and maybe one more (that I'm keeping private because we're in PMs and who knows where it'll go) are up for the last slot as it stands.

If I'm missing anyone or if anyone feels like backing out... or anything else relating to this, please let me know. Right now I'm waiting on @Knight of Doom & @Pirouette for completed character sheets.

@lydyn

I am now about to sit down and catch up with my character making but you have a pretty full house. Please advise if you feel like it is too full for me or it is not.

@Pirouette

Welp, the tenth slot has a lot of people... but if you feel like you could make a CS on the level of Saha or the desert bandit/gypsy (still getting names down), then please do so. ^.^

Legend by Fire

@lydynDone with my CS editing, Should be up to snuff now.

@Raijinslayer

Accepted! Feel free to post in the character's tab.

@lydyn

I am very much pleased to announce everything is now done and awates your review

@urukhai

Goodness... so many people still contending for the tenth slot. I have to remind myself what I asked you to change, haha. I'll be a moment. :p

Legend by Fire

Any word about the kingdom I posted, dear Highlord GM?

EDIT: Looking at it again, it's a tad... sparse. I'll pad it out some tomorrow.

G'night, yall.

@TheWizardLizard

Night! I'll wait for the edits then. ^.^

I've been reading through the loads of posts I've been missing, and I've noticed something. A lot of characters who were pretty jerky (in the sense that they had motivations that motivations that weren't wholly altruistic) were rejected for being jerky and could cause issues in the party. I mean, I can understand not wanting party conflict, but the clear differences between characters is one of the big things that keeps a party's interesting nature alive.

<Snipped quote by lydyn>

What does this mean? Is character death something we're going to not experience?

I'm sure I'm reading this wrong, but it seems like we're going to mainly be playing an RP where all the characters are friends all the time and never go into any danger that would actually endanger our characters.

@Earnest Evans

*Scratches head* I'm not sure where you assumed we'd all be friends and all jolly and stuff. I picked characters that were types to fit into heroic traits and this adventure specifically. There are more than a few characters that are bitter, distant, apathetic, or depressive - setting for a few issues between them personally. However, yes... they need to work together. I needed to strive away from characters that would just tear the group together. They'll have enough trouble coming from outside forces that they need to work together.

And yes, it seems you didn't take the time to read everything I've written in the OOC. I said no characters would die unless you came to me about it. That's just how this role-play is set up... but that doesn't mean they won't be in actual danger. Just because you, as a player, understands there's no death does not mean a character cannot be pushed to feel threatened by death. You shouldn't let OOC knowledge affect IC actions. I hope that answers your questions. ^.^

@Raijinslayer - A few things that need to be tweaked, though I do like the character a lot. The first thing that came to mind is that he is an expert or master in several areas (magic, fighting, and endurance) but really only has one flaw of being unable to deal with long-ranged individuals. I'd like to see something else, if you don't mind to even that out.

Second is a couple of his spells. The time one wouldn't exist... I understand it's not very powerful, but there's really no such thing as time magic when it comes to Weave Magic. Even in small doses, it's far too powerful. Second is the wall of earth... it'd need to be around 4 feet wide and 4 feet tall - anything bigger is normally beyond Weave Magic.

His ability to not suffer cuts is a bit too much as well, sadly. Maybe his skin can be as tough as an orge's? Or a bit more so? They have tough hides too and cuts and arrows don't sink in nearly as much - but it doesn't make them immune. Also his quick analyze power - as long as we can agree that even if he knows a weakness, he may not be able to physically himself take advantage of said weakness, then it's fine.

The last bit is something in his back story. Jergal would've likely waited until just after he spared the Griffin's life, as it truly shows determination and resolve of his heart against such terrible emotions as anger and revenge. So he might have gotten a few wounds to lick, haha... but he could've survived, especially since Griffins are gentle and it would only want him to go away and likely wasn't attacking to kill.
