Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

@Sho Minazuki: I think he looks alright now, though as always I prefer to save final judgement for completed bios.

@Lord of Evil: ... Going to be honest, um... I included stuff about hundi culture and you kind of just made your own thing and called him a hundi. ^^; It's not like I demand anyone making a member of one of my original races for this act in a specific way, but like, they should actually be a part of that culture.

@Skwint: At the moment, including one of the other players who expressed interest before I posted the thread, there are two slots remaining. And yes, enchanted items are avaliable.

@KoL: Accepted.
  • Name: Sophie Velmet
  • Age: 18
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Human
  • Rank: Five of Swords
  • Appearance: Sophie has pale skin, purple eyes, and pale purple hair. She is exceptionally short.
  • Personality: Sophie is a highly competitive girl who is determined to be one of the best adventurers in the guild. Her aggressive personality makes this fact quite evident, and she is extremely driven to take any jobs she possibly can. She has a habit of viewing other adventurers(outside of anyone in her party, at least) as direct competition for her pursuit of the title of title of Top Sword in the Guild. She is quite prideful, bordering on arrogant, but she isn't without a more playful side as well. Sophie is fond of games(but is also extremely competitive in them, determined to win no matter what) and does seem to view exploration and adventure as something fun. But at the same time, she takes fighting very seriously, her competitive and aggressive nature pushing her forward in incredibly dangerous situations. While Sophie is quite prideful, she still values hard work and dedication, believing it is the exact path towards the goal she desires. She can be somewhat dismissive and sarcastic towards, others, especially if they are being stupid, but in spite of her aggressive and goal-driven attitude she does care about helping innocent people and protecting her allies. Sophie hates being treated as younger then she actually is, which is troublesome when she's so short and youthful. She also has a jealous streak, especially when it comes to anyone who is more mature looking then she is.
  • Brief Backstory: Sophie was born into the Velmet family, a minor noble family living in Venne. When she was little, she became fascinated with the stories of adventurers, and already aspired to be like them even before a major event changed her life. When she was only eight years old, she was suddenly taken by raiding band of goblins while visiting a relative's estate far outside of the city. But before they could take her back to their hole, the goblins were slain by a team of adventurers. This sealed it, not only did Sophie wish to become an adventurer, she wanted to become one of the best. Now that she's older, she's embarrassed about the childish approach she once had... but she's become incredibly competitive, using her wealth to purchase high-quality gear and gain training that would allow her to function as a fighter fit to join the guild. Sophie has no intention of giving up on her dream of becoming one of the top Swords in the guild.
  • Equipment: Sophie wields an expensive, well-balanced double-headed greataxe. Forged of dwarven alloy, it is quite light in spite of its size, but very sharp. However, it is almost entirely mundane beyond these features. Sophie wears set of relatively light armor, mostly focused on protecting her torso and hands while allowing for swift movement. Finally, she carries with her a set of one-use enchant items. By breaking them, she can apply a very brief, relatively weak enhancement charm to herself. They resemble cylindrical rods, easily broken with her bare hands. The enhancements they apply include Windsprinter, which greatly enhances Sophie's speed, Greater Impact, which allows Sophie to strike much harder then she otherwise would be able to, and Enhance Armor, which lets her enhance her armor for a single blow. These charms are no-where near as strong as a spell applied by a mage, but they can be used on the fly, very quickly. Of course, she has to buy replacements whenever she uses one. Sophie also has a dagger, a relatively mundane, if well-crafted, last resort in case she is unable to use her axe.
  • Skills: Sophie is a remarkably skilled fighter, mostly when it comes to utilizing her axe. Her fighting style utilizes her own small size and the swings of the axe to move herself across the battlefield, allowing her to attack with the full weight of her body. She has some rudimentary first aid skills, not sufficient for a healer of any sort, however, and has a decent knowledge of Estival's flora and fauna. She cannot be called an expert, and magical knowledge largely escapes her, but she is decent enough.
@Sho Minazuki: I'll take a look shortly.

@Lord of Evil: Orcs are specifically noted not to be playable. ^^;
I'll get my character done soon!
@1Charak2: Well, @Raineh Daze is kind of worried about overlap, since you both seem focused on the spiritual angle of necromancy. Also it is a bit strange that she's low-ranked if she knows how to make sapient undead. ^^;

Admittedly I'm not entirely sure how to reconcile this... hmm.

But for now, um...

@ShwiggityShwah: ... This is nitpicky, but it does bother me a little bit seeing a canon character I'm familiar with being used for this. ^^;

@1Charak2: I actually really like this character for the most part, but there's a couple of issues. First, the raising of mindless undead is very illegal and would definitely get the local clergy after you. They're armed with divine fire spells so that's a big problem. By contrast, invoking spirits and stuff like that very much is not, in part because there's an element of consent on behalf of the invoked phantoms. I guess one way to kind of get a loophole with this is to raise dead animals or other non-sapient beasts.

Secondly, sapient undead are almost impossible to raise. Getting even trying as hard as you can is vastly more likely to get you a mindless undead... or an exploded corpse. There's a reason those in search of immortality basically never consider becoming a sapient undead, because yeah, it's great since you regenerate and don't even look dead... but you have to die to achieve it and the chances of success are obscenely slim.

To be clear, this isn't an objection to her servant, it's an objection to her having the ability to raise sapient undead at will. He can still exist.

@Sho Minazuki: Well... Akitsushima(the Japan analogue) is in the same time period as the west, in this case. Of course, that does still mean there are samurai serving lords. That's kind of what samurai did. It's also in the east, like... real Japan, and on an island quuuuiiiiite far from Estival. He'd have had to travel a very great distance and by boat. It's not impossible, since Akitsushima has diplomatic relations with plenty of other countries, but it is something to account for. And, well, there... really hasn't been a nationwide shift in power... ^^;

This is a pre-existing setting after all. There's even another RP I'm running occurring in the same setting.
@TheFake: Accepted.
@ShwiggityShwah: Going to be honest, uh, he looks kind of like a sci-fi character? ^^;

@Sho Minazuki: I really wish you would have asked about the Japan analogue country before writing up this bio. I've actually been working on this setting for a very long time and there's actually fully-fleshed out not-Japan that you could have asked me about. I suppose I could have mentioned it, but I guess maybe I got too ahead of myself.

Um, I guess just ask me some questions about it so your character can be amended to fit.
@Raineh Daze: Accepted.
