It's all good Rin, my fingers are going to start aching from all the crap I'm typing right now. You could always say the Mi-Go are from a different dimension too. I'm glad I have someone who actually knows all this stuff here though haha.

In this RP, all of those cosmic horrors are considered captial B Bad news by the Fellowship and attempting to summon them is a breach of the laws which often results in the Magus hunting down the sorcerer, beheading first, and asking questions later. So obviously the relationship between much of the Fellowship and the Eldritch Knight is somewhat strained to say the least.
Everything looks in order Emphatic is in, glad to have you on the team.
That's a fair point and seems to keep everything in order.

Maybe flesh out his character a little bit more in terms of motivation and you should be good to go.
I was always under the impression those Lovecraftian gods existed in a different plane anyway so that would be fine.
For the most part I like it but there are a few issues mostly to do with powers.

His pilots skill isn't egregious but he shouldn't be able to fly a rocket, I'm no expert but being an Astronaut is a highly intensive process that very few pilots ever get to experience and the training itself is extremely difficult. Your character sheet makes no indications he is special in that way so I'd limit his skill to flying anything up to a fighter jet.

Also the whole mystic bloodline thing just seems ill-fitting with his powers, and as such it would be better if all that was thrown out. You could literally just say, "The Awakening did it." He seems more like a Metahuman than any kind of Supernatural. And like I said aliens don't exist yet.

Save for the high decibel generation, I would tone down his powers across the board. All of his powers as is would require obscene amounts of energy to power and I can't really believe a man who is getting on in years could really handle the strain. Perhaps his powers could evolve to these levels but to start with his speed, wind generation, exhaust, and all that should be proportional to his body not to an actual Jet. And also Wonder Woman's durability is incredibly high, higher than any fast moving fighter jet. Could he have higher durability than any normal human? Yes. But fighter jet's aren't immune to crashing at high speed, that should be a weakness really.
Falkon, well the Laws of Magic the Fellowship's "rulebook" was written by the first Elder Council. The Accords which are basically magic Geneva Conventions were co-written by Oberon. I have a basic understanding of the Fae, and I know that neither of the Courts are wholly good or evil but have morality that can't really be understood by mortals. I'm trying to draw this RP's version of the Fae from various sources so if I have any questions I'll ask. So far what I have in mind is that the Fae used to be united under Oberon but after his mysterious absence the Fae split into the Winter and Summer courts with Titania and Mab left as Queens of the Seelie and Unseelie respectively. If I have any questions I'll definitely ask.

LeeRoy, As I said before Aliens do not yet exist in this RP. Any discovery of the Extraterrestrial would be a monumental event and that hasn't happened as of yet.
She could show up in the middle of the training mission if you wish.

And I just finished the main entry for the White Fellowship of Sorcerers. Which took almost an hour. And is only one entry. Man.
Ok Charlotte is in. I'll edit her into the roster later when I'm done typing up walls of fluff :P
You really don't have to do anything about it besides omit it, since full-blown Sorcerers can live up to be 500 or 600 years old or more. Being 200 and still be young is not outside the realm of possibility. For all practical roleplay reasons nothing really changes for her. For the second, it's not a question of knowledge but really what the White Fellowship thinks of using Black Magic (which killing someone with magic usually is) they usually respond by beheading, even if said practitioner never knew about the Law. They're kinda old-fashioned like that. That said you are right that that would be solved if the robbers were killed at her house, since then it was in self-defense.

By easier to heal I meant it'd be easier for her to bounce back from say a knife wound as a full-grown adult than as a child not faster. If you really want to go with that I'll let you do it but keep in mind that many villains won't pull punches just because Charlotte looks like a child. And it should bring up all kinds of in-universe issues with other characters but if that's how you want to do it then it's fine.

Like I said it's not really an issue that makes the sheet problematic just an IC thing. And if the apprentices really are bad then she can probably go to the Fellowship for help but as she is not a member than there'll be some tension.

Just fix those two issues and keep in mind what I said and you should be fine.
For the most part I like it but I have a few issues.

The idea that Charlotte stopped the aging process completely is problematic. Things like Immortality are still pretty much outside the realm of possibility for most mortal magic-users, but that said they do tend to have longer life-spans than normal humans. So she could be in her twenties for a long time but she can't stop the effects of aging entirely. Stopping the aging process entirely would require a continuous source of massive energy that you can't really get without resorting to Black Magic in most cases and even then it's a wash. For all practical purposes nothing changes but it's a continuity thing.

And when she killed her father's killers out of revenge with her magic that's going to be a problem for her because of the White Fellowship of Sorcerers and their Laws of Magic. One of them explicitly forbids killing mortal humans with magic when not defending themselves or another from imminent danger so that piece needs to be tweaked. If the law wasn't their then there would just be Sorcerers running around killing whoever they wanted willy-nilly. This one can't really be on you because I have yet to write that into the Codex but it's there.

Regressing herself to a child is dubious logic at best. Easier to heal? Maybe but there are all kinds of drawbacks. The body is much weaker and easier to injure in the first place and any kind of protracted highly athletic activity, such as every mission up until now, would take a huge toll on someone with the body of a child. Her adult body would have more natural energy and athleticism and heal easier naturally and besides that garner more respect from people she meets. It all seems like an excuse to play a loli, and I'd rather you take out the whole thing but I want to hear your thoughts on this.

And on a completely unrelated note, I have to shake my head at Charlotte's logic for being surprised her apprentices turned out to be Warlocks. It's like teaching somebody to cook meth and make bombs and not expect them to turn out to be criminals. It's not a character sheet killing flaw but in-universe it kinda makes her look dumb.
