Spoiler: Dalia Simoneit (click to show/hide)

Name: Dalia Simoneit
Description: Dalia is a bit taller than average, with a slender build that befits her youthfulness. She has shoulder-length brown hair worn loosely around her head and bright green eyes set in an oval face. She's is quite attractive, with flawless skin and rosy cheeks despite obviously not wearing any makeup. She usually wears dark dresses which her slender figure fills out nicely. Dalia has some other, more practical clothes if the occasion calls for it, though it rarely seems to do so. All in all she looks like an attractive teenager with nothing abnormal about her... Until you see the machine sticking out of her back. It is quite large and cumbersome, being a cylinder of metal with various ports, fans and wires crovering its surface. The mechanism hums silently to itself as it works, sucking up magic from the surrounding area and processing it. Where the machine meets flesh a jagged border of yellow cystals have formed, pulsing in time with Dalia's heartbeat. Despite its awkward size and weight, Dalia hardly seems to notice or be affected by the machine lurking on her back. Clearly she knows it is there but treats it as if it was another, perfectly normal part of her body. Attempts to remove the machine or crystals from Dalia's back have produced plenty of pain and distress. Given that it seems to cause no harm and the camp facilities can be put to a better use, further tries have been completely aborted.

Backstory: Dalia was one of the many people born with innate magic powers shortly before the rise of the magic girls. Where others gained the ability to manipulate fire or summon shadows, she was stuck with generating misfortune wherever she went. As a baby a magic parasite latched onto her body to consume this terrible energy and eventually anti-magic fields would become widespread. As a result of these two events her malady was not as terrible as it could have been. She had a normal upbringing in the south of France, though she was bullied as a child due to her magic. When she was 17, tragety struck. Returning from vacation in Italy, she and her parents were caught in a car crash as their brakes suddenly stopped working. Both of her parents died. Dalia survived without a scratch. She did not have long to grieve however, for she had to quickly adjust to living life on her own. Somehow she managed to join Team Northsdale from these depressing conditions, though she was never an important or well-known member of the group. Living with the team helped her to cope with her situation and gave her a new outlook on life. She even fell in love with another new member of the group, Kaiser, a user of strange nanotechnologies with an unknown past. As such it was quite surprising when a person matching Dalia's description and claiming to be her appeared at Camp Cinder since it was presumed that she had vanished with the rest of Team Northsdale. A quick interrogation concluded that she was probably who she said she was, though the state of the camp's files meant that they could not completely confirm her identity. According to her, shortly before Team Northsdale disappeared they dropped her off in France for her own safety. The machinery on her back, constructed by Kaiser to replace the parasite feeding on her energies, was acting up and needed time to fix itself. Once France had fallen, she had naturally followed the streams of refugees into Camp Cinder and offered to help however she could.

Stats: (30/30)
HP   - [44]
MANA - [16]
STR  - 8
DEX  - 6
AGIL - 2
INT  - 8
WILL - 6

Abilities: Bearer of Mysterious Machinery
What records remain state that Dalia used to be a powerful generator of magicial misfortune. Accidents were far more common in areas where she lingered, though they never directly affected her. This malady was managed with the use of anti-magic fields and a magicial parasite that implanted itself on her back when she was young. At some point the parasite was replaced with the machinery on her back, constructed by another member of Team Northsdale. Presumably it performs a similar function for it generates an intense yet localized anti-magic field as well as absorbing nearby sources of magic. Besides countering magic, the machine seems to be able to produce or manipulate the biomechanical crystals that surround it. Dalia is able to use this ability to defend herself, or perhaps it simply happens automatically. Either way it is quite effective in combat.

Capable of Absorbing Mana: [Free Passive] Everytime that someone else uses an ability that consumes mana within 40 feet of her, Dalia gains 0.5 mana due to the machine on her back.
Protection of the Crystals: [Level 2 Passive] When Dalia is wounded, crystals quickly form over the wound to protect her. Everytime she is hit she gains a point of Crystal Armour (CA) with the maximum equalling half of her INT [4]. Each point of CA reduces incoming damage by one. CA persists from turn to turn.
Healing Power of Crystals: [Level 2 Passive] At the start of her turn, Dalia automatically recovers HP equal to her CA level as the crystals knit her body back together.
Bane of Metal and Flesh: [Level 1 Active] Crystals form in Dalia's hands, before shattering into tiny pieces which burn through metal and flesh alike. The attack inflicts 1d6 + 2*CA Damage.
Friend of Metal and Flesh: [Level 1 Active] Dalia touches an ally, causing small crystals to form on their body and heal their wounds. This ability heals 1d6 + 2*CA HP. Can also be used to perform minor repairs on some objects.
Protection of Crystal Body: [Level 1 Active] Dalia chooses one ally to protect, with her own body if need be. She automaticially takes the first attack that hits that ally, unless the enemy rolls exceptionally well to hit. In thay case she'd take the second attack instead. And so on if the second attacker rolls exceptionally well.
Biomechanical Manufacture: [Level 1 Active] A large crystal forms in Dalia's hands, which shortly shatters to reveal some object. Can be used to produce clothing, metal parts, adhesive, or any other minor item of limited usefulness. Producing large or complex items would require many crafting rolls.

Inventory: Crystal Kitchen Knife: 1d6 + DEX. Shatters from extreme force or sonic attacks. While it may appear like a perfectly ordinary kitchen knife, it is actually a single piece of metallic crystal in the shape of one. As a result it is extremely sharp and never dulls, though any kind of failure causes it to shatter immediately. Useful for chopping up vegetables and your enemies.
Metal Charm: A much-abused piece of metal, whose orginal design is no longer visible. Once oddly protective for its size, it is now no more than scrap.

[PrivateNomad]

...Didn't the universe get blown up in the previous continuity or something? Tentatively reserving a slot, but yeah.

Also, technically this is RotMG5, but uh, we don't talk about 4.

Name: Sorasa Hibiki/SORASA
Description: A half-Japanese boy, aged 16, whose mother was French. His features lean toward his European heritage, with somewhat pale skin and a head of dark brown hair, kept short except for the back, which he keeps in a ponytail. He is of slightly below average height, with a wiry build that's muscular without being bulky. The only thing that appears supernatural about him is his eyes, which are tinted a bright shade of violet; he usually waves this off as some sort of rare, but harmless, genetic condition. He prefers simple, versatile clothes, dressing in a white t-shirt and jeans, usually with a blue jacket if he can find one. Looking at him with the ability to perceive the supernatural would reveal something decidedly more interesting, however; it would appear that he had two souls, and that they shared a powerful magical aura.

Personality-wise, he's fairly easygoing and somewhat lazy, preferring sleep over getting anything productive done much of the time, though he does simultaneously have a certain thirst for novelty in his life. He's loyal to a fault, though, and won't hesitate to help someone in need. He tends to be somewhat naive and toward holding grudges, however, and isn't the best leader of people.
Backstory: Hibiki's life story up until all of this supernatural chaos business was fairly normal. His father was a traveling businessman who met a foreign woman and eventually this resulted in Hibiki, who lived a normal life until all hell broke loose.

The world has a self-defense mechanism, activated only in emergencies that threaten its very existence. It attempts to summon the spirits of heroes, past and future, to protect itself. However, perhaps due to the sudden grave injuries being dealt to it and its population, something went wrong. The spirit that was supposed to be called to protect France, rather than being summoned in its own body and possessing the armaments it was intended to, was shunted into the nearest appropriate container, shedding much of its power in the process. That container was Hibiki.

The boy made it out of the ruination alone thanks to this odd sort of possession, his parents having perished in the chaos, and drug himself to Camp Cinder. The rest of his story, well, it's yet to be told.
Stats: Are you good at this, bad at that? Well-rounded? Allocate 30 points. Average for a human is 3 each, but you guys aren't average farmers.
Health: 32
MP: 10
STR - 6
DEX - 8
AGIL - 6
INT - 5
WILL - 5

Abilities: Clearly there is something supernatural about you; what is it? Enhanced strength or agility? Pyromancy? Be creative. These are similar to spells in a way, and you have spellpoints equal to your INT to spend. One spell point may be put in an ability to be level one, or you could spend two points to have an ability be level 2, or three for level three. Essentially, a point may be used to give an ability a level. If you have 6 INT, you can have 6 lvl-1 abilities, or say 5 lvl-1 abilities and 1 lvl-2 ability. More on this in the stat section. In addition, everyone gets a free passive ability no matter their INT, whether it be a passive AoE effect or a stat boost or a proc'd effect. These abilities can be passive or casted.

Primal Rune: Strength: Draws a glowing arcane symbol on the target or himself. Boosts the target's next roll by WILL/2.
Primal Rune: Fire: Draws a glowing arcane symbol on the target or in midair. Deals 1d6+WILL fire damage, and an additional 1d6 in melee range.
-SORASA: 50% chance to ignite the target, dealing 2 damage per turn for 1dWILL turns.
Sword of Recompense: (Passive, level 1): Hibiki gains Counter stacks per turn, equal to his current DEX. When he reaches 20, he gains an automatic counterattack against the next opponent to hit him with a melee attack. He also starts each combat with one counterattack prepared. Multiple counterattacks can be built up in this manner, given they aren't used up.
-SORASA: Counterattacks are preemptive. DEX is considered 2 points higher for the purposes of gaining counterattacks.
Protection From Arrows (Passive, level 1): Hibiki gains a +3 bonus to dodging ranged attacks.
SORASA (Level 1): The spirit inhabiting Hibiki manifests itself, boosting all of Hibiki's abilities. (Bonus is equal to twice the skill level if there is no specific enhancement mentioned.) This has a GM-mandated cooldown, but currently can be done roughly once a week, and for about ten minutes at a time at most, without beginning to harm Hibiki.
Twinned Soul (Passive): Hibiki rolls twice, instead of once, to defend against all mental or anti-magical effects.

Inventory: His clothing and a backpack containing a change of clothes and a couple day's worth of food and water. A long, whittled stick with a survival knife notched into and tied onto the end for a weapon.

Sheet, or at least the first draft, is done. PMing the other details I wanted to mention to you now.


@USEC: Touhou character who has the power to manipulate boundaries. SHe's just as overpowered as she sounds, to which I quote:

...Among the abilities youkai are known to possess, this is one of the most dangerous, being comparable even to the power of gods... In any case, there is neither any sort of defense against nor weak point in the ability to manipulate boundaries.

Abilities are fair and balanced, though I think a -5 damage reduction to Sword of Recompense is needed if he can counterattack that often, since it's a pretty good ability at 1st level.

[Chevaleresse]

Sword of Recompense nerfed, though he only gets a counterattack every 2-3 turns currently.

[PrivateNomad]

Sword of Recompense nerfed, though he only gets a counterattack every 2-3 turns currently.

You're good then, unless I notice something else.

Spoiler:  Helena Winterwald, the edge of tomorrow (click to show/hide)

Name: Helena Winterwald
Description: Image.. As a lesser heir of the winterwald dynasty, Helena received combat training and individualy geared tuition to bring forth her abilities from a young age. Finaly deemed sub-par, she shared the fate of all who weren't taken into the main branch of the family, and was simply left to fend for herself. Only really having one skill, Helena became a mercenary, and a lifetime of combat has made her a formidable fighter, even able to take out an ICARUS-unit in close combat.
However, the battlefield is hardly good company for a young girl, so her social skills are underdeveloped, and often times she feels inadequate, and at times ashamed for utterly failing to behave like a girl at all. She feels that returning to a normal life would be impossible, and although she desired it, she was afraid of doing so. As a result, the war against the void is somehow welcome to her - it gives her a perfect excuse to never face her weaknesses.
On the frontlines of the war against the void, Helena quickly gained recognition, and soon fame as a soldier known for her keen instinct. Keeping herself, and whatever soldiers are around her at incredibly low numbers of dead and wounded, while yet accomplishing difficult objectives has somewhat made her a star, mostly due to the fact that she outright denies having any magical abilities - they are not obvious in any way. As such, she has been picked up by the propaganda machine, as the face of the war, hoping to inspire as many people as possible to pick up arms against the void, conveying the message that you don't need magic to be a hero. Which once again drags her away from just being a simple soldier, into the social spotlight, and through a very sudden series of promotions, into quite a bit of responsibility as well.
Little do they know that her courage is fake. You don't need courage when you KNOW what is going to happen. However the frequent visions of herself or her comrades dying has left her with more than enough nightmares.
In combat she prefers close-quarters, mostly because it allows her body to keep up with her ability. Even if you see bullets coming, you won't usualy be able to dodge them. She is also an incredibly accurate, but ineffective sniper. She has never taken a shot that missed, but often aims so long, she doesn't take a shot at all - waiting until she sees that she will hit.

Stats: 30/30
HP  - 26
STR - 5
DEX - 8
AGI - 9
INT - 5
WIL - 3

Abilities: Helena is a precog - she sees the future, and the shorter the time, the more accurate she gets. At just a few seconds - like in combat or on stealth-missions, her predictions are absolutely on-spot.

[Free passive]: Glimpse of the void - Whenever a party member dies, including Helena, the turn is reset - it was a vision. Helena can change her action, and gains a bonus equal to 5*Level on her dodge, or, if she acts in a way that helps an ally to avoid death, transfers that bonus to them. Enemies and un-warned allies do not change their actions. Limited to once per combat.
[Level 2 passive]: Knows where you come from - Helena has a permanent +1d4 to her dodge
[Level 2 passive]: ...And where you are going - Helena has a permanent +1d4 to her hit
[Level 1 passive]: An open book - Helena knows the immediate future. She will never fall into traps, suprise attacks, ambushes etc, or be suprised by sudden reveals, and gets a warning by the GM ahead of time.

Inventory:

High-Frequency Combat Knifes: 1d4+DEX, ignores 2 DR
Tactical Sniper Rifle: 2d6+DEX, 10% critchance, 1 turn cooldown

lol you guys are fucked

[Twinwolf]

If it matters I'm planning to go either heals or tanking with my character, when I come up with them.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

praise alistair

[BlitzDungeoneer]

I'm going full buffs debuffs here so eh :p

[Akroma]

technicaly Helenas abilities are slightly more defence focused

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Changed Alistair's skillset to give him more support options at the cost of power. If we have far less supports than damage anyway I'd rather give Alistair more options so if he ends up being the only support to get in we're not wholly dead

[Twinwolf]

So, does anyone have any ideas for a character that I could use? I could try Tori for a third time but she doesn't fit this setting, and I'm not sure I want to use my character from v3.

Hm.

That depends. Do you want personality? Power set? Both?
