Muskets & Magic - Dark Fantasy RP

@Atrophy I don't accept characters on a first come first served basis, if you think you have a kick ass character, don't feel like you gotta rush it out

@Oni_ what I meant for magic is - is shooting magic bullets the only magic thing she's good at? or is she a magic bullet shooter, but can also throw a normal fireball, or make a lightning bolt or move a rock wall?

the things

I like Hassan, but there are a few discrepancies. In what ways did Hassan work with Casper before his capture? How does kidnapping a person and tattooing shackles to them enslave them to one's service- is it a symbolic thing, or are there actually cultural rules that dictate if you have that tattoo you're a slave? If Hassan was constantly watched by Casper's men, how did he manage to plead with the government to save him- also, with that much infamy on his back, how did he manage to walk into a government building without being shot on sight? It would make more sense that he was defeated during a raid and captured by the government and made a prisoner. From there, he was perhaps able to persuade the government to conscript him before Casper's men could get to him.

the things

The bit about the elves and the great tree seems disjointed. A lot of his history is also kinda sparse, like you just took a bunch of bullet points and linked them together. Also, how did the discovery of an Oasis lead to him be conscripted into the Ilyan military but was offered a private gig by an Ilyan nobleman? Just a bit of discrepancy.

@Oni_

Magic booletz?

y0ur bo0l3tz are made of m@g!c? I've not much to say about this character, I like it. It gives me a bit of a wild west vibe to it, but nothing wrong with that. How skilled is she with magic? How did she learn it? I find it might be harder for her to be extremely skilled in magic and firearms. Is she very good at specifically shooting fire out of her guns? Is she capable of manipulating it any other way?

Alright, now for some actual character reviews....

@DrunkasaurusRex

the things

given your character's age... He was born some two decades before monsters began appearing en masse. There were monsters in the sense that large and vicious wildlife was still a thing, maybe some raiding from natives or bandits. What few monsters you would've seen were the result of shamanistic magic as opposed to them just appearing, so your character could've conceivably spent his childhood there.

I am also a bit surprised that he liked the Papal Knights while disliking his Priest Mentors, though I guess it could be said that the Papal Knights are cut of a somewhat different cloth than most priests. And with the way Ironhoff military works, he'd likely be put into one branch- infantry or cavalry, upon joining up with the military and stick to it most of his career. Though being an officer would grant him a horse, and therefore training on the horse.

You write this character as being extremely proficient in both melee and ranged combat of both mounted and unmounted varieties- all of this gained during a time of relative peace. He's also armed to the nines and well armored... What I'm getting at he's good at a lot of things, a bit too much so. - the balance of all of this would need some tweaking. Toning down some of his combat skills, something like that.

Also, how many pistols are in a brace?

More things

I honestly like the drawing style artwork for the character, fitting with the theme so props for that. Your character's background work work out just fine- a bit more flesh would be nice. While women in the Dominion military is relatively uncommon, its not unheard of. There might be a bit of a stigma against her, especially as an officer, at least for those outside of her influence of command.

The skills section can be expanded upon a bit, its a bit on the sparse end and not as clear as I would like.

@Oni_ high end, expensive pepper boxes can be enchanted to turn automatically, or use a mechanism to rotate the barrels. Alternatively you can use magic to turn the barrels if you have the aptitude. But cheaper low end pepper boxes will generally be turned by hand - though for the rp, keep in mind that a vast variety of the monsters in the new world appear very resistant to conventional shot and powder weapons. Those are more to fend off animals and other people.

@Atrophy it's been a bit less than a decade since the monsters started showing up. And as far as Bastions of civilization goes. There's the Expeditionary Camp, which is a fortified little base built around the main port of one of the ruined cities, which serves as a landing zone for ships from Yggrdasil, the base is probably only half a dozen blocks wide, with timber walls and barricades shutting them off from the rest of the city. There are also a few outposts dotted throughout the continent, but these are more temporary camps.

@Oni_@Noxx sidearms are typically single shot Flintlock pistols and derringers, though the closest thing on gets to a revolver is a pepperbox, essentially a Flintlock gun with multiple preloaded barrels.

Muskets & Magic - Dark Fantasy RP

@Noxx Regular muskets use ball and powder loaded from the front. Etherguns on the other hand are breach loading weapons - sort of like single shot shotguns, and load from the rear with essentially bullets of crystalized magic sap. I don't know where you got no pistols from, but there are indeed pistols.

Muskets & Magic - Dark Fantasy RP

@DrunkasaurusRex@Sergeant As a quick note, as far as skills go, I'd like a bit more detail on how proficient they are with more specific fields - such as "Poor Marksmanship", or "Excellent Swordsmanship" or "Above average horseback riding"

O. Uh, if you would like the 'second soul' could be an innate part of your character, but requires nature magic in order to bring it to the forefront? Idk, we can spitball ideas in PM, I'm sitting at a red light rn, so now's not the best time for me.
