Mental Description:Protective of their friends and to a lesser extent their Lord.Honor driven and almost Tireless willing to do almost anything to protect their friends. whether that be bruttaly murder any that in their or any other  things that need to be done whether or not she feels good about it is another matter.But beyond that  she s generally polite courteous  and has a penchant for her fellow lady's maybe her Lord as well but that depends upon the Lord.ultimately Rena wants power money and someone lovely and  the more She  she can get the better which certainly  shows she's perhaps willing to screw over others as long as she won't suffer the consequences or they aren't of any great emotional value or goes too far agasint her own values but either way attempting to befriend Her well it may take some or perhaps a lot  of your "energy" though it should be enjoyable or your preety awesome or usefull that work's ussaly either way you'll have to make a token effort.

Bio:She followed her Lord into exile as one of their most Reliable retainers having served them for most of their life now a proud and widened 25 And  with her dazzling array of magical blades to summon any and all opposition  will fall!

Another! Hopefully, this one succeeds, and lasts more than a few weeks.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Serathia Kalrak
Primary Skill: Summoning
Secondary Skills: Bone and Ice
Tertiary Skills: Necromancy, Fire, and Alteration.
Physical Description: Basically just a very shadowy cloak, with hood. You can't see anything more, besides a pair of glowing red eyes. When she uses her arms, they appear to be red, and calloused all over. She has dark red claws, and the marks of handcuffs. He legs are the same, and she has a tail which pokes out the back of her cloak. If you did see her body, you would notice she's naked underneath the cloak, and calloused and red, like the rest of her. She seems to be a Tiefling, of some sort.
Mental Description: Quiet, yet deranged, she does not speak. She can communicate through touch, but this is the only way. When she touches a being, she can talk to them, but that is the extent of her mind powers. This can range from anything, a cat, to a snail, to a giant. She seems to be effected by something, but nobody knows quite what....
Bio: A prisoner for most of her life, she was released, and exiled, due to having spent her sentence of 20 years beatings/inprisonment. She does not tell people this, and tries to remain as unknown as possible. She was arrested for her first mission as an assassin, murdering a lord. This, as it turns out, was a trap all along, and the assassins guild helped turn her in, quite possibly due to her status as a Tiefling.

Also, Baron Polmarop seems good.

There was one before this? Huh. Must have missed it.

[spümpkin]

There were many such games, beginning with Expedition Arcane, and then a few others tried their hand at GMing such a game. All thses games flopped.

PTW

[IronyOwl]

@Ironyowl, I assume there's synergy between Protection and Artifice?

There's probably some synergy between just about anything. Those two in particular have a lot of potential in keeping your items together, generating complex protective effects, or holding volatile parts of complex enchantments together better, off the top of my head.

6 players initially, chosen by random selection.

Aaaugh

Sorry! Maybe you'll get luckier this time. :x

Question, if you want to change someones mind, would that fall under flesh? Maybe flesh+Transmutation or something?

Probably Mind Element

Depends on how literally you mean. Flesh+Transmutation would generally be better at making their brain matter better attuned to something you're getting from a third school, which could technically work if you're a literal villain attuning them to despair or something. Combining those with Illusion might let you get more nuanced in that field, and Necromancy and/or Vitamancy could maybe assist with making good and/or bad changes.

Mind Element would be a good guess for massaging their thoughts around, though it'd probably lack the power and finesse on its own to do really in-depth changes, like if you wanted to grant rats sapience or something.

If you mean just "convincing someone of something," that'd probably be social skills and/or Illusion, though a lot of the above could still help with that. For the more mad scientisty approach, it might need to be a fairly elaborate process using a disproportionate number of schools and resources, rather than a singular skill combo.

(Let me know if I filled anything out improperly.)

Looks good, and yes, Metal is a viable element.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Ah, right. Well, I do enjoy these games, even if they have been left unfini

Ah, perhaps to be more specific I was thinking of brainwashing into slavery, possibly with a personality and/or memory rewrite. It sounds like maybe mind+flesh+Transmutation+illusion? And maybe necromancery/vitamancy. Although possibly also just requiring too much to be a realistic thing for a character...

I don't finish nothin'. I just keep it going long enough that it still feels like a success after it dies.

...oh god I'm a TV writer, this explains everything.

Depends on how exactly you want to go about it. It's a pretty powerful, complex effect, so it'd make sense that it'd require quite a bit of investment, in skillset and/or time and resources devoted to actually pulling it off.

Mind covers, well, the mind, so it's a great starting point for massaging a critter's thoughts and applying other effects to the mind. It's probably not strong or versatile enough to properly brainwash critters into slavery unless you're gradually nudging them there with their permission, though.
Flesh covers meat, which brains technically are. So it's good for altering a creature's brain, but lacks the finesse to do much of that or much with that all on its own.
Transmutation alters something's makeup. On its own that's not much good for anything, but when you start combining it with other schools you can get the ability to treat a critter's thoughts or brain as a substance to be altered, which can have some interesting effects.
Illusion covers perceptions, so it's good for brainwashing a creature in subtler ways or with its unknowing assistance (eg making it feel happy whenever it obeys you to brainwash it in a fairly mundane fashion). It's not great at permanently or deeply affecting anything on its own, though.
Vita/Necromancy covers altering living things, which most of your targets will presumably be. That makes it another good booster for more specific or introductory schools targeting the mind.

So you can mix and match a lot of these depending on how you want to go about it and how much you're willing to invest in the project. Illusion and Mind could make for a good "gradually convince them they want to serve you" combo, by messing with their perceptions and feelings right inside their head. Necromancy, Illusion, and Enchantment could let you forcibly control the weak-willed by enchanting them to dread disobeying you too much to ever follow through with it. Flesh, Mind, Transmutation, and Seduction could potentially let you warp victims into serving you out of unnaturally obsessive, permanent love. Necromancy, Vitamancy, Mind, Transmutation, and an appropriate Knowledge skill might allow you to more forcibly overwrite whatever's in their skulls.

It'd be a significant project, but you've definitely got options.

[Criptfeind]

Ah hah, cool, cool. Makes sense. I'm going to have to think for a little bit about if I want to play such a creepy character. Also I'd be a little bit worried about mechanically treading old ground a bit too much. It seems like mind control, at least from what I'm thinking about going for, might be a too small hop from what Sjig-Nak was...

When do you expect you'll start 'picking' sheets and such?

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Ah yes irony assume my sheets good?
