Name: Natsuki Kawaguchi
In game name: Athena
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Race: Salamander
Weapon of Choice: Longsword and Shield
Item Effect: Invisible Weapon - Weapon is cloaked with invisibility effect when held.
Magic Spells:Flame Weapon - A temporary self-cast buff that adds fire elemental damage to the user's weapon, creating a flaming visual effect on the weapon's blade. Words of Power: "Ek hemta brenna aldrnari seiðr, hata allr órr andskoti" ("I summon the burning fire enchantment, to destroy all our enemies")
Berserk - A temporary self-cast buff that greatly increases the user's weapon damage and speed while also greatly increasing all damage taken. Healing potions have no effect while Berserk is active. While Berserk is active, a red flame aura visual effect appears around the user. Words of Power: "Ek heimta kraptr berserkr drengr" ("I summon the strength of the berserk warrior")
Nova - A powerful spell that knocks back and inflicts heavy fire damage within a moderate radius around the user. Extremely high mana cost and spell chanting time. Words of Power: "Ek bjóða brenna móðr uphiminn eða fold undir vega hvatvetna at bella standa inn minn syn. Hníga hverr helgrind eða frjáls hiti brenna jafnan" ("I call upon the burning wrath of the heavens above and the world below to smite everything that dares to stand in my sight. Open every gate of hell and let free the flame that burns for all eternity.")
Personality: In the real world, Natsuki's quiet and reserved appearance makes it difficult to determine whether she has an actual personality. She rarely speaks unless directly spoken to, and even then, she tends to answer with a short sentence at most. In the world of ALfheim Online, Natsuki is much more bold and fearless, although she still has a tendency to choose her words carefully. Natsuki takes the game quite seriously, at times becoming so immersed with the game that she finds it difficult to distinguish between the virtual world of ALO and the real world. Amusingly, her serious attitude towards the game sometimes causes other players to suspect that she is an NPC.

I'm a recent SAO fan and I have some interest in this RP. As a long-time ex-MMORPG player, I've also been put off by the lack of magic in SAO and its RPs so I've been looking for one based on ALFheim. But since I'm a strictly one-RP-at-a-time RPer and I'm currently interested in another RP, I have 2 quick questions for our GM so I can decide which to join:
1. Because magic spells were introduced to ALO and it's unlikely that every spell in the game was named in the anime or the light novels (and other sources), what's your stance on player spell selection: A - Strictly stick to canon spells, B - Allow player-made spells. Same question applies to non-magic skills.
2. Because it's unusual for players of different races to work together due to the race vs race PvP, what would our character's motivation to work together be? (since people are most likely going to be picking varying races for their characters). There doesn't have to be a concrete answer to this question, we could just RP it out and improvise of course.
Thank you.
Some interest here, but I'd have to wait until a storyline or plot has been made until I can make my decision. I've played and completed the VtM - Bloodlines game so I'm not a complete newbie, but I haven't read any of the books, played any of the other games, or anything else.
Is it just me or is there no Ghost Mode toggle option in the user settings? Kind of makes me wonder how a quarter of the online list managed to find the option in the first place.
