Also, nobody ever thought of getting a cooking skill?! (Other than Dwarmin), what shall we eat? D:

Man, why didn't I think of that? Guess the ol' mage was just wolfing down whatever while he worked anyway.

Now to figure out what my school should be...

[Caellath]

My character is done. Now we have a severely antisocial, possibly psychotic and deranged knight fully covered in armor and who may or may not be fully overtaken by madness at any moment.

But he is a good cook.

*happy faces*

Assuming you still need more people..

Name: Ochita
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: Ochita is 26 years old, and has unkept brown hair, with dark brown eyes. He has a moderate build, showing that while he did do physical work, time has rounded him out slightly.   
Biography: Ochita was a general trader before the whole collapse started, which left him with a couple of skills here and there. After the Incident, he settled down somewhat, having a semi permanent store. When the collapse actually started, he ran to the closest shelter, discovering that with magic returning, he was able to somewhat control it, using it to heal minor wounds.

Slight changes to my sheet. And yay, another cook.

So now I have either seven or eight players. I'm thinking, sure why not?

Spoiler: Landren Caelumcursor(Caellath) (click to show/hide)

Name: Landren Caelumcursor
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: Tall and lean, with a fair face and olive eyes. His long hair is brown with a few lighter-colored strands running through its length. He is clad in pristinely brushed and tended silver armor with white lining and parts and his underclothing is mostly white and dark blue. His full, face-hiding slitted helmet has curved horns as those of a goat.
Biography: Landren was an apprentice of both chivalry, magic and smithing (although with methods regarded as strange), intent on creating both armor and weapons he could use. He was very focused on his objectives and had already achieved a reasonable level of ability - becoming more renowned for his cooking than actual fighting prowess - when the disaster struck and he had to escape from the confines of the castle he lived and move to the Vault with a comitive of fellow knights and people from the place. None but him made it to the Vault, some dying and others straying from the group while immerse in either madness or pain. Before passing away, the Lord of the castle granted him the title of a full-fledged knight and gave him the right to take a protegee or squire under his wing, a negligible honor for someone who quickly found himself alone. During his crucible, he abandoned his crafting skills almost entirely in favor of developing the magic side of construction directly, creating strange and never seen effects and making him stray further from humanity. Since then, it may be difficult to assess the effects of the events he has been through on his psyche. Recently he found a roaming group heading to the same Vault he was and joined them, keeping his purposes a mystery.

Spoiler: Tricton (Bdthemag) (click to show/hide)

Name: Tricton
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: A tall thin looking man, wearing a set of fancy looking leather armor and a rapier at his side.
Biography: A former conman, Tricton worked in various large cities across the country. He'd con and swindle, making his living from town to town. After hearing of the creation of the vaults, Tricton didn't want to get caught out in the open when the next disaster hit so he used all of his savings to get into one.

Spoiler: Albri Welben, Noble Necromancer (micelus) (click to show/hide)

Name: Albri of House Welben
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: 5'5 in height and considered 'light' by his family. He has short black hair and an olive complexion. His eyes are brown. The emblem of his family ( a raven with two skulls for pauldrons and a bone in its legs) is tatooed on his neck.

Biography: The House of Welben is an old house, but not extremely rich and certainly not prestigious. For generations the house was in charge of all the graveyards in the kingdom of Volenand, organising all burials, funerals, rites, embalming, burnings, and what ever it is the dead need. It would be no surprise that the house had long tampered with necromancy, and even less surprise that the house raised up the dead as servants. Even so, power ever eluded them as they could not simply discover how to keep the corpses functional after a few years.

Albri himself was the 8th son of Count Fedrek Welben. As the 8th son, he never stood much chance for an important position or being heir. Luckily for Albri, he had no interest for that. It was expected of him to simply become a necromancer. For most of his childhood, he did spend his time studying the body, and how it worked and how to keep it moving unnaturally. Course, this then made him wonder how such things lived in life, which led to studying biology. To finish off his education, he also studied history and alchemy...although he forgot a few certain details here and there.

And so at the age of 14, he was considered of age, which for the Welben bloodline meant being a necromancer, which included a initation rite. The rite itself is rather...hush hush but suffice to say, Ablri was given recognition as a necromancer. As the 8th son, he was not given much responsiblity, beyond keeping the commoner graves and making sure that no unlicensed raising was happening. Then 6 years later, he received a letter. A letter to the capitol, requesting his admittance to the Royal University! Of course that was never to be. The Incident happened...and you all know what happened next.

Spoiler: Jurith Creyn(Tiruin) (click to show/hide)

Health: 25/30
Gender: Male
Physical description: Jurith stands at the height of 5'8". With a gaunt appearance and a hardened countenance, it is hard to believe that this is but a man of twenty two with a lean and average stature. His eyes are a deep shade of brown and his black hair is shortly cropped. He has a small, rough beard of the same colour.

He has a rough scar on his right cheek, crossing the eye.

Biography: A son of a knight and nursemaid, Jurith was born and raised in the higher echelons of society; his family was a powerless one, but one that held great prestige in the eyes of his neighbors and fellowmen. In his youth, he tended to the fields of his father, while learning his skills from his mother. In puberty, he was known to be a reckless explorer and a revered fighter, having participated as an auxiliary soldier in the skirmishes of his land. In his coming of age, he was selected to join in with his father in his sojourns across the land.

Chivalry, as taught by his father, was what he was apt to follow. Forwarding the common goals, he discovered that despite the popular belief, working as a squire and watching a knight in combat and in peace was very different to the honor-bound society that he grew up in. There were no rules in battle, and yet most enemies he faced fought as if bound by such, one law that he learned with great impunity.

In a recent skirmish, he spared a bandit who pleaded for his life under parley and when his back was turned, the man struck back at him with whatever weapon was in reach - a metal shard, at the time. His reflexes saved him, earning only a gash to the face, but he was successful in subduing the oath-breaker. It was only after this battle that he and his father attempted to join in on the crusade on their kingdom's vault, against the behest of whatever lord managed to gain control over the land.

He was sent in part of the vanguard force, while his father stayed behind to aid the rest.

Spoiler: Sil, Demonic Helper (IronyOwl) (click to show/hide)

Name: Sil
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Female
Physical description: Female red-skinned humanoid with a slightly feral appearance, almost like an oversized goblin or imp disguised as a human. Around 5' tall, but often hunches or crouches down to less. Has pointed ears roughly a foot long, spiraling horns about the same, black hair, pointy teeth and claws, arms a bit longer than normal, legs that turn digitigrade at the bottom, obviously clawed feet, a fairly long tail with a small barb on it, small leathery wings, a foot and a half long mostly prehensile tongue, and eyes that appear largely silvery, but shimmering with a constantly changing assortment of other random colors. Her face and general body structure is essentially human otherwise, save that her mouth can split wider than normal.
Biography: Sil was originally summoned to be a grand wizard's familiar, back when she was an imp. He doted on his new pet, which greatly aided her increases in power and size. When the catastrophe struck, her master's tower was sundered and he was pulled into some manner of rift, forcing her to flee.

She's secretly very sad about her master, and hopes she can someday find him again, though she knows the odds of finding him alive and in a recognizable state aren't good. Otherwise, however, she views the apocalypse as a superb opportunity, and doesn't intend to miss her chance to capitalize on it.

Spoiler: Olson Johan (Frajic) (click to show/hide)

Name: Olson Johan
Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: Tall, frail and cooky old man. Has a beard glued on, and dressed in a ridiculous red, pointed hat and a roughed-up bath robe.
Biography: Was kicked out of the Mage's Guild at age 67 for abusing alchemical compounds. His sorry state of a brain couldn't handle the fact he was no longer recognized as an official mage, and he did everything he could to reclaim his title. In his mind, that meant looking as much as a mage as possible. Since the Guild had been his home, he had to do with what he could get his hands on.

Spoiler: Achadias (Dwarmin) (click to show/hide)

Health: 30/30 base
Gender: Male
Physical description: A gaunt seeming man, 5 ft tall, but muscular and tanned. Bald, with dark green eyes. Has a burned mark on his shoulder that reads 'BETRAYOR'
Biography: Achadias only survived the chaos by joining other survivors in wild roving bandit gangs-those gifted with little magic had few choices, but to scavenge what they need to survive. Once he found his own talents in Abjuration (Defense) magic beginning to form, though, he was cast out as a freak, blamed for destroying the world.

Luckily, he found a group headed to a Vault...giving he had no where else to go, it certainly seemed a good idea at the time. The mark on his shoulder ironically meant he held no more loyalty to his former friends and allies, though it remains to be seen if he'll fit in with the rest of this high minded group.

Question: What is 'primal' conjuration?


Edit your sheets, and we might be able to start tomorrow!

[micelus]

Meh, too lazy to retype. I'll save the ant-centaur elemental mage with a dark past for later.

[Caellath]

You should try and check what Caelumcursor stands for. :3

Also, do we get any opportunities for enhancing our general skills?

[IronyOwl]

Just a question, what kind of Perform is it? Musical, dancing, other? o_O

What are you implying?

Circus/cute pet tricks, mainly. Balancing things, balancing on things, jumping through/over/under things, catching things in her mouth, that sort of thing.

Yes, by the way Skyrunner phrased things and taking in account it was a lone wizard she may be implying things.

catching things in her mouth

Unlocking a magic school costs 2 points. :3

[Dwarmin]

So, I have to spend 2 on base arcane and an additional 2 to unlock the school?

[Caellath]

So, I have to spend 2 on base arcane and an additional 2 to unlock the school?

Actually no. You just have to spend 2 to unlock the school itself, you can take one point from the Arcane general skill and relocate it to your specific.

Edit: @Skyrunner

Like I said above, you might want to move some points to the more general skills (Combat instead of Dodge, or Magical compared to Arcane Magic). Also, you can't have three selected 'schools' of magic, only one. The others are always randomly selected.

micelus also has two Arcane Schools. Corpses 2 and Regeneration 2. His skill points used also pile up all the way to 32.

@micelus: Unlocking a school of magic costs 2 points, and you can only define one.
