((U know what I think I'll just create a different character from scratch))

Spoiler: Bob the Satyrbucks Employee and Reluctant Adventurer (click to show/hide)

Name: Bob
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: Bob is medium height, and wears a SatyrBucks uniform (Essentially, the uniform is the same as the star bucks uniform except for the logo is a satyr instead of a mermaid).
Personality: Bob works at the Satyrbucks on campus and as pranks, students force him to go on missions (or whatever its called in this game). Bob is sarcastic and can be described as a Lawful Neutral. In short, weird stuff happens to him enough that he is so done with everything.

Level: 1 (Determines available AP [Action Points], SP [Skill Points], Perks.

HP: 20+[CON*level]
Init: DEX+1d20 at the start of each combat.

Stats:
Constitution: 0(How hard it is to kill you.)
Dexterity: 4(How stealthy and speedy you are.  Governs dodging, IF you have a passive for it, and movement on the battle grid.)
Intelligence: 4(Governs crafting, Affinities to some extent, some types of magic.)
Resistance: 4(How resistant to damage you are.)
Strength: 0(Physical strength.)
Synergy: 0(Ki, whatever.  If it's not, essentially, physics-based, and it's not in a spellbook, this is the stat for it.  Innate abilities use SYN, generally.)

You have 8+[4*lvl] (12 for a level 1 character) SP.  Once SP are spent, they can only be moved once per 5 levels or with GM approval.
SP are capped at level+3.

Perks:
Bob is so wimpy that monsters don't notice him at all unless he attacks them.

Affinities: Breakfast, Diplomacy (Because even the worst of monsters like their morning coffee)

Actions: (Your attacks and abilities.)
Basic Attack: Spill hot coffee on the opponents to deal 2d4+Intelligence
Basic Defence: run away really really quickly
Basic Heal: Eat a breakfast item to gain 2d4+Dexterity

A standard damage formula is 2d4+STAT non-scaling (that is to say, you have to add each subsequent d4 yourself) or (1+ALVL)d4+STAT scaling.
Healing works similarly.

Inventory: (Your items.  You may have three when starting out, plus an additional, free, basic melee or ranged weapon should your character require one and not have one.  It uses 2d4+STAT for damage.)
1. A Nokia Cell Phone (Unfortunately, Bob forgot to pay the phone bill so its essentially just an indestructible brick)
2. A cardboard box filled with assorted breakfast foods (Bagels, Doughnuts, etc)
3. A dell PC with, Linux, infinite Wi-Fi, and a 5 Terra-byte Hard-drive (Possibly My Dream Computer)
Free Weapon: Ranged: A box of Coffee (For accidentally spilling on monsters)

[TheBiggerFish]

No.

Just, no.

Spoiler: Isla Dubh (click to show/hide)

Name: Isla Dubh
Age: 17, in all respects
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Race: Wizard-Created Chess Piece Girl (Black Bishop)
Appearance: Isla stands at 5'9'' and is rather slim... though the 2mm segments of black porcelain armor that line her body somewhat obscure her build. The armor lines her torso and back, and rings around her arms and legs, albeit leaving her palms and the soles of her feet uncovered and going up the sides of her neck to the lower part of her jaw. Aside from that, she's white-skinned, with straight brown hair that dangles to between her shoulderblades and green eyes. She wears a set of form-fitting (fitting her armor that is) black clothes, usually.

Personality: Being part of an insane and incredibly sadistic wizard's living version of chess for almost all of Isla's life has left an indelible mark on her. While she is typically quiet and very formal, Isla clings onto patterns and rules, as they were the backbone of her life back in the bad old days. When she walks on things that resemble chessboards, she'll walk diagonally, and certain egregious breaches of combat etiquette or the rules will make her greatly anxious or drive her into a rage.

Isla was created by a mad wizard, Talloras the Cruel, in his tower and she grew normally there... except that she functioned for the sadistic wizard's entertainment, where she and her brethren fought each other in living chess games. She was there for the first fourteen years of her life, than Talloras was messily killed by a robber invading his tower. In the aftermath, Isla was rescued and spent the next three years of her life being caretaken by certain staff at Voidlight Academy, for she wouldn't be able to adjust normally to life, and has been an asset for the Academy since -- she can fight, after all.
Level: 1

HP: 22
Init: 1d20 at the start of each combat.

Stats:
Constitution: 2
Dexterity: 0
Intelligence: 1
Resistance: 3
Strength: 3
Synergy: 3

Perks: Black Piece Armor: Isla has black carapace plate armor naturally grown upon her body, and this naturally increases her toughness. Isla gains +1 RES per level.

Kingside (gained with Flaw): Having been a kingside bishop, Isla has for most of her life worked beside a leader she trusted, and is typically highly devoted to such leaders. Before a battle, Isla designates a character as a "King" and when she is adjacent to this King she takes half of the damage of attacks aimed at the King herself instead.

FLAW: Rules of Movement: Patterns from a life of being naught more than a chess piece have stuck patterns and rules into Isla's head, and certain ones are so deeply ingrained that breaking them causes Isla severe distress. If Isla moves in a manner that is not a diagonal line, she loses half of her RES.

Affinities: Unarmed melee, magic beams, patterns.

Actions: AP: 6
Basic Attack: Armored Punch: Isla strikes someone with her armored fist, dealing 2d4+STR damage.
Basic Defense: Armor Stance: Isla moves into a defensive stance that emphasizes the coverage of her natural armor, doubling her RES.

Check (Melee, Active)(Level 2): Isla brings her armored foot heavily down upon the target, dealing 2d4+STR of the opponent has more than half health, or 4d4+STR damage if the opponent has less than half health.
Upgrade to Level 2: Damage upgraded from 1d4 and 3d4 to 2d4 and 4d4.

Elemental Beam (Ranged, Active)(Level 2): Isla fires a magical beam at an opponent, dealing 2d4+SYN damage. She can choose to use Ice, which halves an opponent's movement speed this turn, or Water, which reduces their RES by Isla's SYN.
Upgrade to Level 2: Water option added.

Inventory:
Old Buckler: A very old buckler, a gift from the defensive teacher from his days fighting the void creatures. +2 RES.
King's Token: A gift from the Black King, back in her chess days. +2 RES to the "King" specified by her perk, if she is next to him.
Gauntlet Plates: The plates of natural armor on Isla's hands. Cannot be removed or disarmed, count as unarmed, melee, 2d4+STR.

Isla is finally done.

All right, I'm unbusied, what do I need to look at?

[TheBiggerFish]

Isla looks good.  I'm going to rule that Isla can move in any primary or secondary compass direction for her Flaw.

[Powder Miner]

she ain't a queen tho
she a bishop :V

[TheBiggerFish]

Eh, if you want to restrict her to diagonals only you're welcome to.

[Powder Miner]

LET'S DO IT
tue synergy with the flaw was too unique not to

Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: sentient parrot(non-anthropomorphic)
Appearance: large dark blue macaw(see my avatar)
Personality: easily startled and slightly antisocial, he was a bit of an outcast from his flock due to his much greater intelligence, and ended up hanging around cities, learning more about humans. However, he was noticed and captured by people who wished to turn him into a living weapon, training him in demolitions and first aid, and discovering his magical aptitude. Screeching did not like what they were doing to him though, and begin to plan an escape. He found Voidlight Academy when looking for a safe place to go, hopefully at a place where he would fit in.

Still accepting characters, yeah.

Yours needs work, though.

[Darth Jefe]

When will the voting poll be over?

[TheBiggerFish]

Good question, but I think it's kinda moot now.  We've got 2 applications in progress.

[Darth Jefe]

Good question, but I think it's kinda moot now.  We've got 2 applications in progress.

True.
Also Dapparrot, you get a free basic melee or Ranged weapon, that doesn't go toward the 3 starting items.

[DAPARROT]

Still accepting characters, yeah.

Yours needs work, though.

What needs to be fixed?
