Read the OP and focus on quality over firstness.

I do appreciate the feedback!

Yes, there will be ways to upgrade your stats.

Heroic Form is weaker than it looks (for obvious enough reasons) and Barrier Jacket is stronger than it looks (for subtle reasons, but I will still give it the '+3 for all three hits' you suggested). I'll also implement the 'guaranteed 5' thing you suggested for the Control and Power crest traits. Makes them more significant.

Essences will be important.

Happy to hear!  I'm debating whether or not I want to change my build.  I do really like having a guaranteed successful spell roll, but I ALSO like having physical as a fallback in an unknown game.  And I already have a fairly solid view of Luna's Vestige playing as a rougeish spellblade, if possible.  Plus I don't want to copy anyone else too much.  I might shift it around, but I think I'll probably leave it as is.

A few notes.

I'll be deciding the 'quality' signups based on the level of neatness of the submission, the individuality of the character, the density of the details, genre-compliance, and a sense of 'emotion', which is to say the description should convey a sense of meaning. I'm aware this is all very abstract, but together it should be a good enough guide. You may include other appearance details in your Uniform section, but personality details and character identity can wait for the game to start.

I'll close signups on Tuesday, probably mid-day.

Added hair and eyes to faceless hairless mannequin, for what they are worth.

Title: Ignorance's W̸͕̾̓i̷͔̅t̶̖̘͈̏͗̆c̸̟͖͗̀̐̑h̵̥͓͎͔̄̚
Uniform: Runed blue bandages wrapped tightly around the head, except for the top of the head and the left eye, which bears a monocle. Medium length straight cyan hair floats behind, as if underwater. Long, fine blue robe with gold runed trim, books with glowing white eyes on the covers strapped to the sides which faintly flutter. White socks and black leather shoes. Roughly average build, a bit thin.

Title: Dawnlight Thorn
Uniform: Wood clawed elbow gauntlets and heeled knee boots, leafy frilly skirt and bodice, rose petal shoulderpads and open-faced helmet. The helmet features upward-curving rose petal horns above the eyes and a mane of flowering vines off the back, both of which grow continuously while in battle or other strenuous activity.

Oh, if I was an artist, I would like to paint those. Alas, I am not.

Highly interested, wish I'd seen this sooner, luckilly it's still in signups but not by much. I'll be staying up to make sure I complete this application in time.

...Awesome!  I was starting to worry after Lenglon posted, I knew she'd make a good char and make it all the harder to get in.  I've been really excited about this game.  And Lenglon, thanks for posting that.  It's notable that we're all pretty balanced builds, maaaaybe except Clerk who has -1 in two magic stats, and is probably the tankiest char.  I kinda wish I HAD switched to a crest build for that sweet +1/+1 in magic, but oh well.  It was a close thing.

Since I'm in now I can post this without feeling like I'm cheating.  I talked with an artist friend of mine about Luna's Vestige while making the sheet, and she sketched up concept art.  The physical design's as much hers as mine really.

Well, since the game's expected turnover rate seems rather slow (why would GM insist on investing in characters otherwise?), i'll pull out from waitlist. If i'm going to be miserable, i'd rather be so from game's beginning instead of middle. :P
