@Haha - Only thing I'd be looking for here is, how would she actually fight against someone who wielded say, a magical sword? Also, the format is a bit tiny for me to read... and her attributes are nearly impossible to read with those tiny squares. ;P
@Burger - Your character is approved. ^.^
@n0cturnal1 - So is yours.
@Yankee & @Lemons - Approved!

Go ahead and throw the sheets in the character section. In the next day or two, I'm going to work on NPCs you'll find in the guild. ^.^
@ERode - We have 4 characters so far and lots of people have offered interest. I'd probably say the limit being 8 players, outside me? So plenty of room for now.
@Taka - Welcome! As @Lemons said, Excalibur is one of those that is taken so to speak, though I quite understand the love for the blade. :D Can do what @n0cturnal1 did and grab one of the other items that King Arthur wielded (Clarent is also off the table I'm afraid). But there is Pridwen and Rhongomyniad. Also @Burger made a decent point - if it's Excalibur from say Final Fantasy or Sword Art Online, I'm fine with that, but it would be known in character and out of character as not being thee Excalibur (so the one from Fate wouldn't do, sadly).

@TruthHurts@n0cturnal1 - No, that's not the case, so Caliburn couldn't be used either, though I understand the thought!
Added the Hero Handbook, which hopefully gives more information and insight into the setting and the guild - some of it is left unmentioned or vague to allow everyone to add their own lore, groups, etc. Always feel free to ask questions! ^.^
@TruthHurts - Exactly like @Yankee explained, since awakening will even make you above human in even your weakest area. So start at 0, must put in at least one stat into each at minimum. I was thinking of D&D's point buy system. ^.^

@n0cturnal1 - Yeah, looked fine to me (haven't read it all yet)! Very interesting idea taking Arthur's dagger and cloak~
@Yankee - I would say a year, so kind of like year 2 after the awakening (start of year 2).

As for stats, everyone is starting at a base of zero - think of zero being your average human limits while 5 beings akin to like to like Aquaman-level strength (very clearly superhuman, but never quite to the heights of Wonder Woman).

Also been busy for a few days, but I plan on taking some more time today & tomorrow to add these answers to the original post plus some more information about the world. ^.^ (P.S. - Add a small part to the CS about people's Alias/Hero Name, if they want one.)
@Yankee - Timeline is newly joining because we're going to go through assessments at the start, but they could be awakened for a couple months if you want, but not much more than that.

@Burger - I think the answer would be yes to all of those. I originally intended it with the idea that you could have 1-4 different legendary weapons, but some people are also including pieces of armor. I'm also perfectly fine with doing the "aspects" of the same weapon, but only a maximum of 4, of course. I hope that answers that!

@Lemons - Bodily effects are permanent, though if you wanted a "transformation" while using the weapon, I'm fine with that~ And yes, "hammerspace", as in they can summon them from thin air - was the idea.

@TruthHurts - In cases like that, yes, that's fine... though note that the weapons that are normally unnamed and less known - thus are less powerful. Nothing against that of course and it doesn't at all mean your character won't have their spotlight moments. ^^
@Azure Bubbles
It does - it's at the end ^.^ :
[u][b][h3]Background[/h3][/b][/u]
[b]Personality[/b]: (How does your character view their Awakening? Optimistic hero, reluctant fighter, or something else?)
[b]History[/b]: (A brief look at their life before Awakening. What led them to this point?)
[b]Motivation[/b]: (Why did they choose to become a hero rather than a villain?)


@TruthHurts Yes, the weapons/items need to be named because they need to come from some sort of legend, myth, or cultural reference:
"...strength isn’t just in the wielder—it’s in the tale. The more well-known the weapon, the greater its power."
