@Dead Cruiser Okay, I'll be blunt, since you seem to be failing to read between the lines here: your character is so far away from the intended tone of the roleplay that it's blatantly unrecoverable. The anime/manga tag there is meant to suggest that beastfolk are almost entirely human, not cannibalistic Voldemort knockoffs.

The accepted characters so far are a robot catgirl, ghost puncher, and a fluffy bird wizard. Loner poison monk with a cursed sword is missing the intended tone by a mile.

Yeah, that's fine; there was no fixed time in mind. Just wanted to give some warning. xD

@FlappyTheSpybot@HereComesTheSnow@Krayzikk@PaulHaynek We'll be moving along to a new arc in a day or two, so if there's anything you want to wrap up quickly...?

Dawn Beyond Tomorrow: A Magitech distant postapocalyptic action-adventure RP

Hider

• Name: Omega-Type Magitek Battle Automaton Prototype #7 'Tanja'. Or Tanja, for short. It's not a very catchy name.
• Age: Pre-Cataclysm (She presumes)
• Gender: Female
• Appearance

  Only 4'6.
  
• Personality: An odd combination of naive but flirtatious, it's quite clear that Tanja has minimal experience with the wider world--and absolutely none with the current state of it--but isn't really much of a child, even with the whale. Around pretty girls in particular. Overwhelmingly curious and reckless, she's probably too quick to trust people. Most people. She really doesn't like Rothschild.
  Although she doesn't show it too much, Tanja much prefers being indoors. The sky is just too big.
• Brief Backstory: As her full name would suggest, Tanja is a prototype for a line of magitech robots--suggesting that at least some magic was present before the cataclysm, although as a robot who never left the lab she was created in, she can't really confirm it for anyone else beyond pointing out that one day the researchers stopped showing up and the exits were blocked with solid stone. Before that, they were testing her ability to manipulate magic and running various combat tests--and from her name, general accent, and the name of her plushie, it was probably somewhere in Germany.
  She was down there a very long time.
  Fortunately, it was a self-contained lab with its own power system, although inevitably all sources but magic directly dried up and more and more switched to a power-saving state. Occasionally, things somehow got in and Tanja was forced to deal with them, but they never left a clear way out--just forced use of high-power weaponry in what was slowly becoming some sort of magical dead zone.
  Inevitably, though, one person did manage to find his way down there. Unfortunately, Tanja had no idea that Rothschild was not some sort of monster and reacted violently despite her own lack of power. That ended... poorly for her, although all core damage was eventually fixed. The Sage, for his part, was unable to gather much of interest from Tanja or the now-wrecked lab and, for once, decided to not keep the newly discovered artefact. After naming and cataloguing it (and ignoring the complaint that she already had a name), Tanja was traded in Hensia for something--ostensibly--picked up near the new tunnel, and found herself gradually passed up to Alhein because nobody else could work out what to do with a combat robot.
  Despite looking fully operational to a casual observer, she'd estimate that only a quarter to a third of the damage is actually repaired and it's going to be a long time to do as she's never learned a way to accelerate her own repair process--and the tools she knows could help were rather destroyed.
• Skills: Tanja's primary claim to being helpful is that she can use pre-cataclysm technology pretty well. She can't break through security or tell you how it works but she can turn it on and, perhaps crucially, read the instructions. Beyond that, she's small, extremely flexible, and weighs even less than she looks, and she's a surprisingly good shot with a gun. Albeit she insists that it should be better.
• Abilities: Initially designed as a robot to harness magic directly for combat purposes, Tanja can, in fact, work on using it normally and without worrying about all the initial "learn how to feel and manipulate" it stages that plague most beginners. She just has no clue because she was also created with a large number of components that would automatically perform the necessary steps for her--magic items only useful to her, in other words. A few, such as the flight components, only manifest externally when in use. Unfortunately, they range in various states from atomised to simply offline, so her ability to act as a one-person laser weapons platform is curtailed to almost nothing, along with her aim. It's still enough to fire in extremis but that means doing most of the work manually.
  That she considers this temporary shows the real miracle in her creation, beyond combining these features in an artificial lifeform. Unless all the essential components in her body are destroyed (and she refuses to say how many there are, or if the information is distributed through all of it, for obvious reasons), then over time she can simply draw in magic and use it to power herself and repair anything necessary. Other power sources can also be used for this, up to and including eating.
• Equipment: Technically, one could say that the artefact known as Angel of Destruction: Leo is in Tanja's possession, in the same way that you could say anyone else is in their own possession. But, as a rather willful artefact with no known access codes to force her co-operation and an unsurprising level of encryption, she's not really controlled.
  Beyond borrowing guns as needed, she owns a plush whale, imaginatively named Herr Wal. Although not one of her built-in components, he seems to have been built to test including external objects in the repairs. Given that it has been thousands of years without any fading or damage, the test seems to have been successful even if nothing else was completed.
• Faction: Alhein (under observation)

Yup, I'm interested.

If you want to tie the tattoos to his choice of magic, you could make them a catalyst--basically, he'd have the equivalent of a magical staff tattooed onto his person. Possibly one that's only good for making a specific type of magic rasier/less intensive to cast, but it would be an idea.

Okay, so the thing about gravity magic is... you're simultaneously nerfing it too much and making too much of a problem to implement? There's not a good reason for it to be so out of line with other magic to the point it's ridiculously exhausting for small AoEs, beyond "this is an obscure branch of magic so almost nobody has any skill with it" rather than something intrinsic to it. And being categorically unable to exclude targets from it means it's just a friendly fire incident that becomes unusable, because you're also restricting the people who you want to take advantage of it. Being able to exercise more control so it can do something (and operating on a scale of slightly more than spread arms so it's not trivial to get out of) would actually be better. An easier way to limit a powerful gravity effect is just to have it take longer to cast the spell so it's not one post -> nobody in this area can move, it's more several posts -> the enemy can't move (or is at least severely slowed).

As for direct magic, if you mean... a person sized tornado? That sort of thing is fine without big buildup. Anything that would take apart buildings is not (and probably would be rather exhausting from what you seem to be aiming for).

Uh, when I said violent and power hungry I was talking about his teacher.

It's a bit too late in the day for me or Anno to respond about any power-related things, though.
