Lotus, The Realm of Dreams Sign-ups/Interest Check

Heya! Enirboreh, my nemesis and rival, told me about this and it sounded really cool! If you've still got room for players, I'd love to join in.

Here's a character I threw together. I used Google Docs because I love formatting, and TV Tropes is inconvenient to use for stuff like this at the best of times:

@Cwest 5538: John Smith is good! The only problems I have are that his stats are at 270 rather than 250, so something somewhere needs to be cut. Next, by his equipment stuff, he seems to have been in Lotus for a little while at least, which should be impossible since the RP just started with the other Guardians being summoned by the last Guardian of the previous generation. Just tweak his equipment to mirror the others.

Once those things are edited, I think John will be accepted!

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

So after some talking with Toukas I got permission to go through with this. And so, without further ado...

Name: Eliah Asterios

Age: 39

Gender: Male

Appearance:

• Rather tall
• Brown hair, straight, medium length going down to his neck, and a bit of a short beard.
• Glasses, for short-sightedness, though he usually keeps them in his pocket
• He wears a white shirt with a tie, and black pants with a brown belt
• His shoes are formal, white.
• He wears a silver watch on his left arm

Personality: He shows himself as a simple, if rather reserved, person. He tries to be a good person, at least, though he often keeps to himself- in truth he's not one to talk about himself. Or, in general.

Motivation: Just live a good life, free from the burden of his past life.

Likes:

• Writing and Reading
• Cats
• Espresso
• The smell of paper
• Lobster
• Warm showers

Dislikes:

• Fast food
• Loud music
• Cockroaches
• Lemon soda
• Wet clothes
• Cold places

Bio/Backstory: Nothing much is known about him. Mostly, because he doesn't talk about any of it. It seems he arrived here upon dying, like most others, and that he likes writing quite a lot.

Powers:

• Body –

Eliah is really just a normal person, physically at least. He doesn't rely on his body to attack, he never was one for brash physical action. He does, however, seem to have a rather high mental resilience.

• Strength- F
• Endurance – F
• Agility – F
• Mind – C

• Magic –

Someone with a passion for writing, it is only natural he would be able to affect the world around him like that. Both healing and destruction are very limited in nature, as he can exert their powers through speech (be it poems or phrases) and only up to a certain extent- after all, destruction is not an element he wishes to have, and healing has been reduced in rank due to his past. His destruction would manifest as simply 'magical force directed to his opponent', with no elemental component to it. Likewise his healing would be 'magical force to relieve pain and close light wounds'. Alteration and illusion, exerted through speech (at a lower level) or writing (at a higher level, with more descriptions corresponding to greater power), are where he truly shines, as these are a writer's bread and butter, to perceive the world in a different way and shroud it in wonder and mistery; though, since more complex applications of them require he write them out in detail, he would need to prepare them in advance. Once written they can be activated once- by reciting a phrase Eliah associates with them- before losing their magical property, although the illusions will not cease until dispelled, either by him or by others.

• Destruction – E
• Restoration – E
• Alteration – B
• Illusion – S

• Survival –

He has not needed practise these skills during his life, and as such, he has only indirect knowledge of them.

• Cooking – F
• Enchanting – F
• Crafting/Smithing – F

• Summoning –

Again, as a writer, he has brought to life many characters from his fantasy, as well as created a world around them. He can, thus, summon artifacts up to a certain complexity level and small creatures either by writing their attributes down or by vocal command. However, the durability of both will be directly proportional to the complexity of the summoning method- while something written out in detail will probably take even a few hits to shatter, something created by a short phrase will break easily, and something made through vocal instructions will last a hit at best. The way the written summonings are activated is, again, by reciting a phrase associated with them.

• Entity Summoning – C
• Artifact Summoning – C

Gear/equipment: A notebook and a pen

@Darkness Awaits: Eliah is accepted! Give me some time to figure out where to place them before posting anything. (It'll probably be in a new group, just a head's up)

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

Agh, knew I'd mess something up xD Fixed the numbers issue and the inventory thing up.

@Cwest 5538: With those edits made, John Smith is accepted!

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

• Name: Simon Cantor
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Cantor stands at 5'8 and has a relatively thin frame. His skin is pale, the forearms and lower legs marked with plenty of tiny scabs. He's almost always squinting his blue eyes, force of habit even with his need for glasses removed since entering Lotus. The brown hair on his head is always incredibly messy, almost like a bird's nest. Despite the fact that he isn't trying to keep anything in place, several bobby pins are stuck in Simon's hair.
• Personality: Cantor has always felt inadequate. Always aiming to be better than others despite not being naturally talented at anything he considers worth praising, he's no stranger to putting in effort. Hard work is the one thing he respects above all others... yet despite that he's very jealous of those "naturally talented" people he's always tried to beat. He has a large thirst for knowledge, but is even more concerned about being thought of as smart... which is to say he's the sort of person who casually uses stupidly long words when a shorter one would suffice. Anytime he does "surpass" someone, he makes up a justification on how he didn't deserve it. In short, Simon Cantor is a jealous person who won't allow himself to believe in his own talents. In spite of this, he tends to act polite and kindly to others, even those he hates, and will bend over backwards to accommodate them, all while internally frothing at the mouth.
• Motivation: He hates the fact that everyone brought into Lotus, including himself, has been made better without any effort on their own parts. Simon just wants to surpass others on his own merits.
• Likes: Diligence, the dictionary, anatomy, studying, birds, scissors, running, independence, praise.
• Dislikes: People better than him, failure, talent, complacency, peacocks, siblings, being judged, getting ganged up on, being teased.
• Bio/Backstory: To say Simon had high expectations placed on him from birth would be an understatement. His three older siblings were all geniuses, the types of people who effortlessly became top of their class and learned things in an instant. Meanwhile there was Simon. It wasn't that he was dumb, but that he had such a high pedestal to reach. A high pedestal everyone pushed on him. Everyone compared him to his siblings. Nothing he got was new, his possessions being almost entirely made up of hand me downs. This set him up with a rather unhealthy view of himself as someone not allowed to be better than others. No matter how much he tried, no matter who he reached for, he refused to believe he had any traits another might call positive. And this was basically his life up till now. Just an endless attempt to feel like the best at something, anything.
• Powers:
  • Body - Simon never valued physical strength much. The goals he reached for were academic in nature. The only aspect of physical aptitude he reached for was the stamina to keep pushing himself without a break.
    • Strength- F
    • Endurance - D
    • Agility - F
    • Mind - B
  • Magic - Wanting to be anyone that wasn't him has been translated into an aptitude in illusion magic. His specialty is in changing appearances and making people perceive him as more trustworthy and competent. His alteration magic's main applications are creating very small pocket dimensions in shadows, normally only good for storing items, and creating "faultlines" on objects and creatures that become fragile areas.. His destruction magic is focused on sharp winds.
    • Destruction - D
    • Restoration - F
    • Alteration - D
    • Illusion - B
  • Survival - Though he couldn't care less about what he eats, Simon placed great importance on the fact that he never owned anything new. Now that he can craft things to his heart's content, that's one issue resolved. He really likes making scissors. His constant need for improvement made him better at enchanting than actually making something, though.
    • Cooking - F
    • Enchanting - A
    • Crafting/Smithing - C
  • Summoning - Always thinking about being better than others, he isn't a fan of relying on others... but it isn't others that he summons to help him. He can raise his shadow up from the ground to act for him and call out his reflections from nearby reflective surfaces. They are stronger than he is, but don't work too well in total darkness where shadows and reflections tend to not be a thing.
    • Entity Summoning - C
    • Artifact Summoning - F
• Gear/equipment: Clothes (slightly the wrong size for him), a journal containing all his complicated feelings, custom made pen, pair of scissors.

@pillowmantis: Simon Cantor is accepted!

For those who have been recently accepted, I'll get you guys into the RP by tomorrow with a GM post.

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

• Name: Choeun [Just Choeun]
• Age: 27
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Choeun has short, stark white hair and pale grey eyes contrasted against a peachy skin. She generally wears fancy if very outdated clothing and is rarely seen without a hat.◊
• Personality: Choeun is approachable if very paranoid. She considers herself a priestess of a sort, though devoted to ‘the natural chi’ of the world rather than any particular deity. Even before dying. She tries to be charitable and 'holy', but she's also cynical enough for petty crime and is definitely not above material things, willing to fight for small things. On the other hand, this means she'll be the first to forgive (albeit not forget) issues.
• Motivation: Choeun has no concrete, unchanging motivation, beyond the most basic of avoiding her dislikes. She intends to live out each day and life itself to the fullest and that could mean doing whatever seems fulfilling to her. Life is her sandbox and she can do anything.
• Likes and Dislikes:
  • Likes: Finer things; Beds (at all); enclosed, hidden spaces; games; watching others converse; teaching; charity; walking the Earth; large hams.
  • Dislikes: Being trapped; hunger pains; being sick.
• Bio/Backstory: Choeun lived a simple life. From the outside. She had long since graduated school with a masters... and spent most of her days counting pennies and figuring out which bills she could duck and dodge while working a job somewhat mismatched to her schooling. She still had to pay the bill for it though. At least until she just walked off the job. And off from her apartment. And her old pattern and general and took a midnight train going anywhere, spending her last bit of savings on a sword to take on her 'journey'. She actually ended up poorer for this in income, taking odd jobs in each new place and earning under the table what with her identity red flagged, but she rather enjoyed traveling the lands, slipping backpacking across borders, and spending like a queen with no bills. Choeun was also at her most charitable at this time, often taking teaching jobs and finding lodgings with temples and the occasional cult. Some of them rubbed off on her. She didn't die from violence; though she did like to swing a sword, even in a gunfight. Rather, her habit of skipping out on certain bills, like medicine, caught up to her. At least she last remembered doubling over from illness and feeling very wrong before coming to elsewhere.
• Powers:
  • Body – Choeun's physical strength is certainly above her sickly, hard driven self of before. Her swordstrikes cleave through stone these days. Maybe those are lucky angles.
    • Strength- C
    • Endurance – C
    • Agility – C
    • Mind – D
  • Magic – Choeun scarcely has any destructive magic to speak of. She specializes in restoring and altering things, using reality to her best advantage and finding the potentials in every little thing. Her favored skill is psychometry^note the ability to discover facts about an event or person by touching inanimate objects associated with them, knowledge through touch and experiences at the cost of but exploring the everyday world. Her ability to 'transfuse' good health to others is not far behind. She has a related ability to (so far temporarily) meld minds to boost the minds (and mental abilities) of all participants. And just to extend her reach, she's refined her ability to reach things from afar with a mystic 'hand'.
    • Destruction – F
    • Restoration – B
    • Alteration – A
    • Illusion – F
  • Survival – Technically, Choeun knows what she needs to survive, but her life-ending/altering illness bodes ill for her ability to watch after her health. At least by normal means. Every once in a while, one can find her in private chanting Thunder...Thunder—Thunder—Thunder Cats HO!!!... only to then say Dragon Strike. Or the next invocation du jour.
    • Cooking – F
    • Enchanting – D
    • Crafting/Smithing – E
  • Summoning – Choeun is no great minion master. She really can only summon her own sword and her hat (so far) back to her. She really needs an affinity with the thing, or to be tantalized by an experience involved with the item to have any hope of summoning it.
    • Entity Summoning – F
    • Artifact Summoning – D
• Gear/Equipment: Of course she has the clothes on her back (and on her head), and her trusty longsword. Its special after all, given how many hands and stories the sword has passed through. Plus, Mirai Trunks made them look awesome. Yes, even more than Kenshin did. Less glued to her person but still hers, she has a pack with a harmonica and a lantern.

This seemed interesting. I made a sign up above. Please let me know what needs tweaks.

Look with century eyes... With our backs to the arch And the wreck of our kind We will stare straight ahead For the rest of our lives

@Century Eye: Accepted! I'll have her join the RP in my next GM post.

And on that record, we're getting close to closing the sign-ups after one, or two more, sign ups, since there's so many people already and my hands are getting quite full.

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

• Name: Daniel "Beaker" Bronson
• Age: 22
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Beaker stands at 5'10, being a tad thin but toned, with olive skin and slightly poofy brown hair. He usually wears a pair of slightly tinted glasses, as well as a T-shirt with a logo of sorts on it and jeans, occasionally changing it up- however, Beaker doesn't go far without his trusty lab coat, slightly browned and torn around the bottom and at the ends of the sleeves due to wear and tear, the coat has deep pockets that are good for storing a whole lot of stuff.
• Personality: Beaker's driving force is his curiosity. While he usually has the best intentions, he is nosy, experimental, and crafty as all hell, taking a more calculated and mental approach to most everything. He's still a good person, but he's more of a thinker than a lover.
• Motivation: The world of Lotus brings Beaker not only a fresh start of sorts, but a place to experiment with a new land, a new place. Deep down, he also wants to meet some new people and make friends and what not, but he says he cares mre about the science of it all...
• Likes and Dislikes:
  • Likes:
    • Science
    • Experimentation
    • His "Lucky Lab Coat"
    • Dark Chocolate
    • Friends
    • Discovery
  • Dislikes:
    • Asian Fusion Food
    • People who are insufferable for no reason
    • Unnecessary darkness
    • Morons
    • Self-aggrandizement
• Bio/Backstory: Born Daniel Bronson, Beaker was born to a family who was wealthy due to ill-gotten gains and less-than-legal connections, which they kept secret from their son. This made young Beaker very curious, as he pestered his parents and went snooping around, only to become curious of so much more. It quickly became his most defining personality traits, for better and for worse. He was popular with the right crowd, not too popular, but not too unpopular either; It was quickly apparent his intelligence was above average at least, and that he excelled in all of his classes, especially science. He graduated valedictorian without batting an eye, and went to college for two years, before one night falling asleep and waking up in Lotus...
• Powers:
  • E = 10, D = 20, C = 30, B = 40, A = 50, S = 100

  • Body – Beaker isn't too shabby here, but it's nowhere near where he excels.
    • Strength- E. He's not too strong, but he got a slight boost when entering.
    • Endurance – D. Beaker, surprisingly, can take a hit or two before going down.
    • Agility – F. He's not as agile by himself, but his other abilities make up for that swimmingly.
    • Mind – A. This dude is on Galaxy Brain 24/7/365, and has a thought for everything.
    • 80 Points, total 80/250

  • Magic – "Magic is just science without a clear explanation." This is where Beaker really shines, being decent at almost everything.
    • Destruction – C. Beaker can directly manipulate energy of all types, including kinetic energy, allowing him to control movement to an extent. While it's not 100% useful everywhere and it's not as directly powerful as an elemental power, it's amazing in the right hands.
    • Restoration – D. Beaker can heal internal damage and minor wounds, as well as restore stamina.
    • Alteration – B. Beaker's second greatest strength, he can easily warp reality around him to create a perfect arena for his experiments.
    • Illusion – F. The only magic Beaker has no hold over, he makes up for it by making the illusions a reality with Alteration.
    • 90 points, total 170/250

  • Survival – Beaker is not too shabby, but he can improve, for sure.
    • Cooking – E. He can make food, but it's not gonna have any bonuses. Doesn't mean it's not delicious, though!
    • Enchanting – F. Gonna pull an Engie on this one and just say "Nope."
    • Crafting/Smithing – D. He can make the thing, but he can't make it as good as some people.
    • 30 points, total 200/250

  • Summoning – MONSTAH CARDO! Actually, Beaker is surprisingly decent at summoning, if not only because there are some leftover points.
    • Entity Summoning – D. Beaker can summon less-than-real beasts to help him. His favorite summons are Sky Leopards.
    • Artifact Summoning – C. Beaker can summon weapons as well as actual scientific beakers, full of different chemicals and chemical mixtures. These actually help cover up some more glaring weaknesses in both himself and others, as they can do things like cause hallucinations and heal himself and others.
    • 50 points, total 250/250

• Gear/equipment:
  • Trusty Lab Coat: Beaker won't go anywhere without his trusty lab coat, which now in Lotus has Hammerspace (Thanks to his Alteration, that is)! The pockets have infinite storage, just as long as it can fit in the pocket's entry hole.
  • He also brought his phone, his wallet (With credit card and ID) and a spare change of clothes in a small bag.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"

@Def Revenge 24601: Daniel looks good! My only nitpick is the fact that his coat has Hammerspace, which should be an alteration ability rather than his equipment having the ability, but since he has B-rank Alteration I don't think it matters all that much.

He's Accepted! I'll have him show up in my next GM post!

• Name: Markus Andrei ( call me Andrei)
• Age: 21
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: light skinned, curly hair, fairly built but a bit thin, 6 ‘0. Usually wear black pants and black jacket. Dark brown eyes
• Personality: Very outgoing and mischievous. Loves to prank his roommates, and although they may find Andrei annoying, he is still liked by his roommates. He can be quiet at times, but that is when you need to worry, he may be planning something, either it’s some prank of his or him trying to get you to do things for him.

Not done yet.....

“ There is never true good and evil. There is only lameness and baddassery.”- me....... derp.

And here's how I'm burning my second character slot.

• Name: Klaus Kaiser
• Age: 25
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: This douchebag.
• Personality: Not everyone who becomes a Guardian can be a good person, and Klaus is a triumphant example that proves this fact true. He can pretend to be nice decently convincingly, but he’s really a nihilistic misanthrope with dreams of becoming a dictator. Life, human or otherwise, means nothing to him.
• Motivation: Conquer Lotus. Failing the first goal, cause enough damage that the other Guardians can’t fix it, dooming the world for no reason other than spite.
• Likes and Dislikes:
  • Likes: War, politics, domination.
  • Dislikes: Most people, compassion, the weak.
• Bio/Backstory: Klaus was born in Hambsburg, Germany. He showed a great deal of interest in a variety of subjects from an early age, particularly politics and psychology. He read about the powerful leaders of history and secretly longed to one day join their ranks as a feared ruler. Yet, his life as an intellectual bookworm could not be further from his dreams of obtaining power. He succeed greatly in all his academic studies, but part of him regretted that he confined himself to the life of an ordinary man. This all changed when, all of a sudden, Klaus was brought into Lotus. Perhaps here, things would go differently.

• Powers:
  • Body – Klaus has an indomitable mind and body. Not is he incredibly perceptive and a lightning fast learner, but he is immune to all mental magic. He can also take a hit with the best of them.
    • Strength- F
    • Endurance – A
    • Agility – F
    • Mind – S
  • Magic – Klaus has an aptitude for magic, but thanks to his personality he can really only do one thing with it. Still, he does it incredibly well. Creating meteors, natural disasters, gigantic explosions, clouds of grey goo that devour matter flat out – if it can destroy, Klaus can probably pull it off.
    • Destruction – S
    • Restoration – F
    • Alteration – F
    • Illusion – F
  • Survival – N/A
    • Cooking – F
    • Enchanting –F
    • Crafting/Smithing – F
  • Summoning – N/A
    • Entity Summoning – F
    • Artifact Summoning – F
• Gear/equipment: Nothing.

@Hilarity Ensues: Klaus Kaiser is accepted!

"Believe in the me that believes in you!"

• Name: Cerise Dufresne
• Age: 19
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: 5"5'.◊ Soft features, and kind eyes—not a detectable hint of hatred in her. When not in her coat pictured here she is usually dressed in a modest but pretty lavender dress. Moves slowly and somewhat delicately—not a natural athlete by any means—but is firm-standing nonetheless when she needs to be.
• Personality: Kindhearted and sensitive by nature, Cerise was often known in her community to have the patience of millions and a soft-spokenness to melt even the hardest of hearts. Though seemingly seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses, Cerise has a deep awareness as to the cruel minutia of the world—merely sickened of it to the point of avoidance and choosing optimism out of preference more than anything. Cerise is incredibly quiet to the point of submissiveness usually, however there is notably a determined ‘mother-mode’ she tends to slip into when under pressure or when her principles are being threatened. It is in this state that her inner sternness and cynicism come to the forefront, and her naturally soft voice becomes hard and cutting to whomever is unfortunate enough to be the target of her frustration (‘rage’ is usually too strong a word to describe this—and thankfully so). It is easy to assume Cerise to be a delicate flower of a girl—something she'd be all too happy to play the role of if she had the choice—but the pressures and repressed frustration inevitably builds up and up over time, and she can all too often find herself in an irrational, overly controlling state in order to make up for her usual meekness. What is invariable, however—even in her lowest points—is her empathy which outweighs all her selfish indignation and pent-up spite, and if she realises the extent as to which she's hurt someone with her words she will move heaven and earth if it means she can apologise to them. Cerise in short is an inward sweetheart trying to live up to her own self-inflicted and high moral standards—though never managing to reach the point where she feels fully satisfied with herself.
• Motivation: As she's always wanted to try and do; keep the peace. Along with finding herself. Though the latter is a bit of a broader goal. Cerise simply wants to keep everyone she can happy—since she's so attuned to others, she'd rather be living a peaceable life in this new land. Even if it means a bit of tough love would be required—as much as she hates to admit it...
• Likes and Dislikes:
  • Likes: Quiet evenings, rainy days, that delicious feeling one gets when one wakes up early in the morning and realises they're allowed to go back to sleep again. Loves to read and scribble when she gets the chance—and despite her usually quiet nature she never minds the presence of friends even if she doesn't speak up to them. Is a sweet-tooth and a nature lover; often off in her own head because of her adoration for deep thinking. Romanticist.
  • Dislikes: Racism, any type of bigotry, narcissism—really anything that goes against her whole ‘live and let live’ mindset. She simply cannot understand why people would choose to act callously even if she might get the reasons how they got to that point—and is usually distasteful at best and vehement at worst when it comes to expressing her hatred of their mindsets. Anxious at being the centre of attention, also afraid of being lost in large crowds. Claustrophobic. Hates parsnips with a burning passion.
• Bio/Backstory: Born and raised in Paris little Cerise was, and her life was one of wide-eyed curiosity in the tight-knit community of her particular district. Cerise was loved amongst the few people whom she actually managed to gather the courage to get to know, though she had a rather unhealthy tendency to shy away from any source of embarrassment or pressure whenever they arose. Realising that she was living in a rather selfish cycle of making herself feel good while shirking the necessary-yet-unpleasant things in her life, Cerise began to feel intensely depressed—perceiving herself as being incredibly privileged and neglecting her responsibilities simply because they were a hassle to her; yet feeling unable to break out of these behavioural patterns and falling further into sadness as a result. It was with this unspoken crisis that she woke up one morning in a place most definitely not Paris, and while the trait gifted to her is most definitely the unpleasant thing she had been searching for to deal with she can't help but feel it to be a little too unpleasant...
• Powers:
  • Body – While Cerise hasn't gained much of a boost to her physicality (if at all), her mind has always been an incredibly layered thing even outside Lotus. The amount of emotional repression she practices on a subconscious, everyday basis is an unhealthily potent and dangerous amount—and so any invaders will first have to sift through the overwhelming tenacity and willpower flowing through her system and protecting her mind from change. Her focus on her own individuality is one of her primary principles, even—so something attempting a change to that will be met with all her fury and mental refusal.
    • Strength – F
    • Endurance – F
    • Agility – F
    • Mind – A
  • Magic – By far the most drastic changes to Cerise have been in the form of two major supernatural powers. The first is a form of self-directed hæmokinesis—with which she can manipulate her own blood according to her will (which is only really useful on its own if she's been injured to the point of bleeding into the first place) and form it into weapons and constructs and such, and the second major ability is what can only be described by the title of ‘epidermal ribboning’—which manifests as the ability to form slits all across her skin and unweave it into razor-thin strips. These so-called ‘ribbons’ can be used both in an out of combat; as they can be manoeuvred at lightning fast speeds in order to tear anything in their path asunder while also being able to be used as simple manipulating tools for distant objects just as easily (though the latter application requires the use of most of her skin ribbons if said object is particularly heavy). Cerise's hæmokinesis is at its most useful while using her other ability, as it is usually the case that her muscular system is exposed while utilizing her ribbons and thus under usual circumstances she could easily be affected by blood loss. While her mental control over said blood keeps her from perishing in this rather gruesome process, the consequences of being effectively flayed according to your own will still haunts Cerise in the form of excruciating cold, numbness, and unimaginable pain during the initial process of peeling her skin away from her body.^note  Keep in mind that no matter what supernatural forces are keeping her alive that the skin is intimately connected to a tremendous amount of nerve endings. Removing the flesh in even a controlled way won't disconnect them as much as tear them apart. Thankfully, the process can be completely reversed with a mere thought —though the reforming of her skin is rarely enough for the inevitably sickened and traumatized Cerise.
    • Destruction – A
    • Restoration – A
    • Alteration – A
    • Illusion – F
  • Survival – While no Bear Grylls by any means and has never spent a day in the wild if she could help it, Cerise is at the very least a very well-trained cook—in fact having been in the process of a job application to a local highly esteemed restaurant before she found herself in the realm of Lotus. While not having any innate boons and buffs within her cooking, Cerise is of a high enough level thanks to Lotus's boosts that she may very well be able to learn such skills—and anything helpful to her allies and friends is something she'll overturn heaven and earth for.
    • Cooking – A
    • Enchanting – F
    • Crafting/Smithing – F
  • Summoning – Cerise has gained no summoning abilities according to her arrival in Lotus.
    • Entity Summoning – F
    • Artifact Summoning – F
  • Gear/equipment: Merely the clothes on her back (which are unfortunately sleepwear).
