EDIT: sorry, for double post.

[mesor]

But your more then 18 hours late and still have not put in your character sheet.
Plus it does say 5 slots and including Ironyowl you were the 6th person in.

Not true. He posted it at 6 pm and i'm here at 6 am. There are 12 hours in between that.

[mesor]

My bad looked at the other quote.
Either way your the 6th player and he said 5 players though.

[Child of Armok]

Name: Molin
Race: Dark Elf
Description:
Physical: Small sized but strong and agile. He has Mid-long wild black hair. His eyes are white. He's 20 years old.
Mental: He's a very closed person with few social skills. He often talks to animals, because elves and humans don't seem to like him. He has never been the best in something and wants to rise to the top, and is willing to give anything to do that.
Background: As a kid he set fire to his parents house with magic by accident, killing his parents in progress. After that our wizard took him to teach him how to control and develop his magic.
Prefferd missions: Try to be the best and gain more skilled in magic.
Disabled missons: Anything with talking to elves/humans.

No, i'm 5th player. Ironyowl (Sorry) is 6th if i'm not mistaken.

[mesor]

Man did you read the first post?
Ironyowl had a guaranteed spot for the fist 24 hours for winning the GM's last game.
He got in at about 21 hours 30 minutes so the 5th spot was his.

Also so your all aware you can not start with any magic or an affinity for any magic.

Sorry, no starting with magic.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Indeed. IronyOwl got the firs-
Well, I took the first slot, but IronyOwl got the last slot because he had about 42 hours reserve (Initial 24 + 18 given).

[Child of Armok]

Oh!
Yeah,....
Didn't thought of that.
Oke.

[mesor]

Haha sorry don't worry I'm sure I'll be dead pretty quick with the way most of my rolls have been going lately.

[Child of Armok]

But i do have the first Waitlist spot...... Right?

[Nirur Torir]

Yes.

[RAM]

I'll get this ready for the wait-list...
Name: Firackark
Race: Kobold
Description, physical/mental/background: Deep green skin with neck frills and somewhat gangly for a kobold and bears many scars. Tends to wear belted and short-sleeved robes coloured to match the tone of the surroundings./Tends to become obsessed with one subjects and make abrupt judgements about most other matters. Possesses a profound dislike for the termination of life and cold environs. Is fond of fine tools and privacy./Raised as somewhat of an academic, comparatively, in a typically high-density population. Prone to forming attachments and frequently shocked due to the frequency of mortality it developed a strong dislike for the natural processes and sought to learn more about them. A number of murders prompted spontaneous searches of abodes, leading to the discovery of its dissection facilities and a presumption of guilt. Narrowly escaping the city while being pelted with stones, it gradually grew too cold to think clearly, and remembers little of its flight, regaining its senses in the dark elven dungeons having apparently charged into a remote partol's camp and collapsed next to their fire.
Preferred mission type(s), if any: Research, surgery, exploration, logistics.
Disabled mission type(s), if any: Assassination, fights to the death.

Spoiler: On spells, research, and Sharing (click to show/hide)

   I'm blatantly stealing ideas from 10ebbor10's research structure. Researching a spell gives xp towards its overall school of magic. School and subset xp works differently than spell levels. [1.00] in a spell is akin to the first laboratory success in a controlled environment. Even a basic spell here uses a complex chant synched with elaborate gestures, and probably some sort of ritual. You might be able to conjure stones for construction just fine, if inefficiently, but using a [1.00] fireball in a fight is a bad idea. [2.00] is when a spell becomes practical, and is the "base" spell. [5.00] is the cap. Depending on the research focus, it could be reflexively cast while gagged and bound, be far more powerful, highly efficient, etc.
   You could have several variants of each spell. Every offshoot starts from [2.00]. Obviously an Instant Thought Fireball is easier to research if you have already researched Blasting Fireball, Efficient Fireball, Instant Thought Flame Arrow, and Sticky Flame Arrow, with Elementalism at [3.00], but it won't give as much xp to Elementalism as an entirely new spell.
   Note that while a spell cannot be cast below [1.00], a [1.98] spell is nearly as good as a [2.00] spell.

Having a school at a higher level is required for higher tier spells, and gives minor research, power, and efficiency bonuses to lower tier spells. You may research a spell to [1.00] for a spell one tier higher than the known school level, and levels [4.00] and [5.00] require the school to be one level higher than the spell tier.

Researching pure school knowledge is possible (And is advised for Metamagic, unless you know what counterspells you're trying specifically to learn).

Sharing is possible. Teaching just how to cast a spell is usually free. You may learn to cast a spell up to {3} this way. It's hard to research a spell if you're just given an activation phrase, and such knowledge will be {put in these brackets}. {Spells} may be researched at 1.5x the rate of other spells. Teaching the principles behind a spell can be done at a rate of 3x for one person, or 2x with multiple students. {Spells} learned may be cast at one tier lower than researched, but may fail. This allows players to teach tier 1 spells at {3} for any magically-capable potential subordinates, if Lady Zirae allows it. Sharing is fun! (For non-dark-elves. Sharing freely with dark elves is not conductive to a long lifespan.)

Game will probably start tonight.

Double post!

Those lucky few chosen by Lady Zirae spent two years training and studying. Only five survived. They learned how to channel the liquified energy known as mana, and the basics of spell creation through tireless experimentation. They were to be her elite agents, and would be granted a certain autonomy to expand her domain. They would spend time aiding her research while in Medea's Stiletto. In return, they would be granted the right to freely practice magic, a high command rank, a stipend from her treasury, some of the fruits of her research, a room in her manor, and, most importantly, each would have one of five pillows to the right of her throne. Near the end of their training, each was taught a spell to conjure stone.

Their training over, they were finally allowed to aid her as each best saw fit.

Spoiler: Empire Stats (click to show/hide)

Mana: 5 +2/turn

Spoiler: Province Stats (click to show/hide)

Exiled Wastes
Intel: Low
Morale: Fair
Influence: Unknown (40% of Medea's Stiletto)
Population: 3000 known, 4% annual growth
Military strength:
40 rangers (Irregulars/archery/stealth/infiltration)
Lower-class levy
Prosperity: 12 known
Mana: 5 known

New spell gained: Conjure Stone[2.0]. Converts mana into perfect 1m³ cubes of stone. Created cube slowly expands into full size into a ritual circle directly in front of the caster. 10m³ per mana. Currently, Lady Zirae's manor is the only stone building in the city.

Remember, turns are three months each. Splitting major actions (scouting, research) is possible but inefficient. Most spells take a negligible amount of time to cast. Prosperity is a general measure of economic strength, and isn't really something that you can just spend or stockpile, but it is taken into account for such things as trying to build something or training troops.

Remain with my master and spend 3 months researching and practicing the basics of mind magic, Request my masters assistance with this training. ( Focus on spells to take over the minds of animals. )
