    Alright, time for skill point distribution, yaaaaay you all made it out alive!



    Joe gets one point in light magic.

    Wyndy gets a point in shapeshifting and emotion manipulation

    Tam gets one point in teleportation.

    Noroi gets one point in metal manipulation.

    Chrysalis gets one point in aeromancy.

    Lucian gets one point in physical buff.

    Now those of you who cannot edit your character sheets, just make a note of your new skill points, I will be keeping track myself so then no one'll think of adding an extra point without my notice.

    Now for the most part, this is how I'll distribute skills based on what your character did during a dangerous situation, but if I skip over a large period of time I may just give you skill points to add as you please, or if I find that you have done an exceptional job with a difficult and dangerous task.

    Updated CS:

    Name: Wyndy London (Pronounced "Windy")
    Age: 16
    Race: Shape Shifter
    Appearance (Human):
    [​IMG]

    Appearance (Greyhound):[​IMG]

    Bio: Wyndy was originally born as a twin, but lost her sister after an accident when they were children. Her family is a well-established group of shape shifters, living in a human community that is none the wiser for the seemingly normal family that lives alongside them. Her father, an Ox Shape Shifter, works in insurance, and her mother, a Cat Shape Shifter, works as a cook. For her bloodine, Shape Shifters only discover their animal counterpart after they hit their thirteenth year.

    Overall, Wyndy did well in school, but after the accident her grades dropped sharply. She is still considered a good student personality wise, but she always seems out of focus and can sometimes be seen muttering to herself. Because of this, none of the other students would approach her, and she remained alone. Yet she never seemed to mind -for her thoughts were always somewhere else.

    Eventually she received a letter from the Athena Academy, and her parents agreed that she should go and try to find new friends, and finally recover from the death of her sister.

    Skills:

    Magic:

    (Active/Aura)Emotion Manipulation -4 | Wyndy can cause others around her to feel certain emotions. Mostly used to keep others from fighting.
    (Active/Self)Invisibility -2 | Wyndy can make herself unseeable to others, but if someone is deliberately looking for her they will see her.

    Magic Skills:
    Potions -2
    Enchanting -3
    Ancient Lore Reading -5

    Supernatural:
    Shape Shifting -6
    ...............Beast Strength: 1
    ...............Beast Bite Force: 2
    ...............Beast Movement Speed: 2
    ...............Beast Magic Resistance: 1

    Combat:
    Paralytic Nerve Strikes -5
    Kickboxing -5

    Normal Skills:
    Cooking -2
    Caligraphy-3
    Knowledge of Ancient Languages -5

    Soul Magic:
    Song of Sorrow -5 | Wyndy howls, and any opponents who hear it are reminded of past wrongs or past suffering. Can potentially overwhelm them with grief, and then paralyze them.

    Just someone on facebook in an art group. They were doing free art and my character got picked. It's actually the human version of my coyote character, but he is the basis of all the other Tams.

    Alrighty everyone, I've finally decided that you'll get three mandatory classes but 2-4 classes are yours for the choosing, your mandatory classes are Magic 101, Sparring, and Beginner Alchemy/Potions. PM me the rest of your schedule ideas, they offer just about every class on magic or magic studies that you can think of. It does not have to be affiliated to the skills your characters currently have.

    Hey everyone, I've got a little surprise for you, a bonus for picking out classes~ Since they're learning new skills, I feel that it's only fair to give them a point in each new skill.

    Tam gets a point in Lore, and Creature Lore.

    Cindy gets a point in Lore.

    Chrysalis gets a point in Lore, Herbalism, Magic circles, and Runes.

    Wyndy gets a point in Herbalism, Runes, and First Aid.

    Name: Erza Cormac
    Age: 18
    Race: Human! (Pyromancy badass)
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Bio: Erza is from a big family called the Cormac clan. She can trace her ancestors back thousands of years and through every generation one person within the family earns the power of a mage. The elemental powers they receive are usually interchanging throughout the years but the one commonality is that they are all male. Until Erza. The Cormac clan for centuries have always been big fighters and carry a long list of battle-torn war heroes and Scottish legends. Now her father is one of the largest weapon specialists in the world and has taught each of his children how to use certain weapons since the age of five. He is also a Earth Mage and can manipulate the earth at will, but his powers have faded over time due to lack of use. Eliza has five brothers who each are proficient in various weapon skills. She and her family live on their traditional homeland of Baloch and were homeschooled in order to learn how to proficiently use weapons.

    When Erza reached the age of six, everyone realized she was the next generation’s mage, by accidently turning into fire in her pops hands and giving him a severe third degree burn. Now she’s 18, is an excellent fighter and can use an axe like a pro. Her social skills are rather lacking for the most part and she can come off as arrogant and egotistical. She loves versing people in battles and especially likes beating boys. Her parents and brothers find her quite a handful but she’s loyal, sweet and ready to learn more, so that she can be the greatest mage the Cormac clan has ever seen.

    Skills:
    Magic:
    Physical Buff: 5
    Pyromancy: 5

    Magical Skills:
    Rune Carving: 5
    Enchanting: 5
    Alchemy: 1

    Combat:
    Boxing: 4
    Axes: 6

    Skills:
    Proficent Driver: 3
    Endurance: 5
    Smithing: 2
    Mechanics: 1<-according to Joe :)

    Soul Magic: Fire-Flesh!
    Unlike other Cormac fire Mages, Erza cannot propel or throw her Fire. It is embedded from a magic in her bones. She can turn her skin, muscles and hair into pure flame. The hottest being a slick blue flame, the lowest a light orange. She CANNOT at the moment change her entire body(apart from her skeletal structure) into flame at will. I will say though that if she is on the brink of death she can go full body but it’s very rare..and I highly doubt she will get that close for at least a long time. At the moment she can change her hands and arms into fire at one time. Or she can change her eyes and hair at one time, or she can change one leg at a time. Her torso is usually never aflame except as stated early unless she is severely injured. When her skills increase she will be able to change more of her body into flame, but for now she mainly concentrates on her weapon skills. I would also like to add that this flame is regular fire. She can raise it to a temperature 1370 degrees C (2500°F), so that she can melt steel or metal, but I would also like to add that she is very repressed by her personality. She doesn’t use her powers at all unless she is beaten pretty badly. She loves physical combat first and foremost, and will only use this fire magic if she feels the enemy deserves it, or if she is forced to. Oh..and she can be put out with water. If she is fired up and you throw water on her it takes about 5-10 minutes for her skin to be dry enough to change back into fire. Plenty time to catch her unawares. (5)

    Name: Edgar Anderson
    Age: 18
    Race: Human..a shy one..
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] <-Sort of what he looks like when he loses control..<.<

    Bio: Edgar was born to Judy and Allen Anderson in Tarnby Denmark. His father is a professor who specializes in Viking antiquities and his mother is a painter who has had her work reviewed at the Copenhagen museum. They are a small quiet family who had lived moderate simple lives until Edgar turned 12 and ripped the family dog Brutus into two pieces. The young boy had a long history that was rooted in the Viking culture and it would seem that he had acquired the ability to go Berserk. He was very upset about this development do to his quiet and shy demeanor. The death of his dog made him afraid of losing control and understanding his emotions so he tries to cut them off entirely.

    He started off this training through intensive training of Muay Thai which he acquired from his time in Thailand where he lived for three years as a student at the age of fifteen. He also has grown up to use a Saber. His father was always a fan of longswords and axes which is why Edgar thought the simple saber is more his style of fighting. Calm and precise is more his thing and he has even won competitions on his skill with a blade. He above everything though hates fighting. He prefers reading, writing and staying quiet. He is polite, studious and believes that fighting is a waste of time. He is emotionally distant from everyone and doesn’t have many friends in school or at home. He does enjoy pizza and girls though. Usually he is cordial and friendly with everyone, but he doesn’t know how to let loose and have fun. He hopes in the future to increase his knowledge of control, and maybe even get rid of his affliction/power.


    Skills:

    Magic:
    Physical Buff: 5
    Self-Healing: 5

    Magical Skills:
    Lore: 10
    Runes: 1

    Combat:
    Muay Thai(4)
    Sword Skills(6)

    Skills:
    Poetic Writer(5)Edgar loves literature and poetry. He is a brilliant writer and hopes to teach professionally in the future. Like his pops.
    Endurance: He heals rather quickly and has a very severe sense of control(5)
    First Aid: 1


    Soul Magic: Berserker
    Edgar is able to empty oneself of all rational restraints in battle and completely immerse himself in combat becoming a dangerous warrior for both friend and foe. The ability allows the user to ignore fatal physical damage as if it never affected them and continue fighting with a frightening level of stamina while also being unpredictable and erratic in combat, making it hard to counter them. The rareness of this power makes-up in one's opponent being super strong as it boosts the user's adrenaline and stamina to the point they are able to wear out their opponent through sheer tenacity and ferocity alone. I am going to say that he rarely will get to this point unless he is on the verge of death and is severely beaten. It usually runs for the course of 5-10 minutes or until he is damaged so incredibly that he loses physical function. He loses all control and doesn’t think properly. He takes on a beast-like way of fighting and his hair and nails become longer and shaggier, his eyes take on a red tinge and his muscles become more prominent. I would also like to say that Erza will be the only person who can calm him down even from this stage. (5)

    Hello. So i'm new here but don't worry im not new to Roleplaying. Im am really interested in your Roleplay since most of my characters that i have made in the past and will be making in the future have Skill or are from another planet (only one) or use magic. And i would like to join.
    This is a new character that ive recently made, and i want to test him out a bit. He uses soul magic. But to me i didnt really understand on what you meant by I only get five points. So im assuming i only get one skill and that skill is 5 points only. Either way i dont have that many skill... yet.

    Name: Merlin
    Age: 16
    Race: Human
    Appearance: Merlin keeps his hair long and messy, down to the point where if covers his ears. He usually wears jeans, a plad shirt, and vans. His face looks like an upside down triangle with a rounded bottom. With a medium sized nose, and brown eyes. He has a very wise look to him as well.
    Bio:
    Merlin was born in a small town near a lake. The town was a trading spot for most of the surrounding cities, so there were people from all different areas coming in and out. Merlins parents were from a long blood line of wizards, and used to be apart of a clan with other wizards. This was before Merlin was born. They had had a child before him, but something was different about this child, the two parents had created something different, something stronger than a magic user. The leaders of the place, had noticed this and had taken drastic measures killing the boy, for the safety of the clan. As another precaution they had killed the father before either of them were able to reproduce another child, but it had been too late, there was another egg growing in Merlins mother. About a week after the fathers death she had ran away, during a six month period she had become a nomad, traveling, holding her baby. During that time she had met another man, he was a regular human, after two months they had gotten married and started to raise Merlin together, in the trading town. Of course, he doesnt know about his real father. A couple of years later Merlins mother and second father had another baby, it was a girl named Ember. All four of them lived in the same house, and same place happily for 16 years. Merlins life was perfect, he was living life not knowing anything about his family's backstory, not knowing hes this all powerful being. But that was all before that fateful day. That day the evil destoryed everything. He was out fishing when it happened. A huge explosion came from his house, starting a fire to spread around the town. Merlin quickly ran to his burning house, entering the house not caring if he got burned, as soon as he entered he saw his mother lying on the floor with a broken peice of wood peirced through her body. She was still breathing but not for long. Merling ran to her landing onto his knees to inspect a way to get her out.
    But all she did was bring him close and touched his head with two of her fingers, implementing all of the information he needed to survive outside, telling him what he was, telling him how powerful he was. After that she fell lifeless. Merlin didn't have time to morn, quickly getting out of there he was greeted with a tall black figure holding his sister Ember. Before he could do anything though the figure dissapeared, taking his sister with him. The only one to have survived the fire was Him leaving him out alone in the world. Two years later he took the time to plan everything, by first learning how to control his powers.

    Skills-

    Soul Magic:

    Soul Absorption: To activate this effect Merlin can choose to absorb the soul of a dead man he has killed. After absorption depening on the person he has Absorbed he will gain that persons powers, and will gain that persons years meaning his life will extend. 5 points.

    If you didnt mean by having only one skill i only have another skill to this one so ill just add it here just in case.

    Soul Magic:

    Soul Switch:
    Merlin is able to switch between spirits to fight his opponents freely. The first time into entering a soul requires no points but to switch in between a fight would cost him. Each time he switches the points it takes to use this increases

    @Firebreath Skill points does not refer to the number of usages a skill can be used. It's more the particular strenght or proficience given to it, for example.

    King Arthur has Swords 4 and fiths against Lancelot who is swords 3. King Arthur has better proficience in swords (This doesn't mean he'll win automatically he just have better chances in that particular aspect)

    Wild Morganna show ups and she has dunno, let's say Barrier 5, thus when she uses her barrier skill the sword has little chance to damage her.

    This 'cause according to the mythic science of Math, 5>4 and 3

    Now this is not only applied to comabt skills, but any characteristic to your character. Let's say, you have Stealth 3, you have the skill to go undetected based on your character's abilities.

    Now the number of skill points to be distributed depends on what the GM told ya to, also you can earn more points as the game progresses (this based on GM's whim).

    Also you have several categories.

    Magical skills, Physical skills, etc.

    Let's say I have 10 points for Magical
    I pick 3 magics for my character.

    Healing Althea light: 3
    Nox dark illsuion: 2
    The End: 5

    See? I used the 10 points and distributed them in 3 skills. Now the number of points you use depends on the GM

    But worry more about making good interesting writing, that's the priority

    PD: Don't be too cliche.
