Introduction

A sudden ripple shatters the serenity of the Silver Thread, if only for a moment. Still, this moment is enough for a young researcher of the Observatory to catch, and he all but sprints from his instruments in search of a superior. Such a phenomenon has never happened in mortal history, and especially not to this one's eyes, and he cannot help but think something big is coming. Though what it can be, he isn't sure. All he knows is that it is his duty to tell the head of the Observatory, as surely the wisest among them would know what to do.

"Alas, child, even with out expertise in the flow of Essence, this is unpresedented," he is told as the much older man he reports to shakes his head solemnly, "There is really very little we can do...aside from notify the leaders of Glamaria."

Hello all. As you can probably tell from the name, this particular game is to be a reimagining of an old game I ran some time ago, entitled "Strange Manifestations." This takes place in a modern fantasy world of my own creation, with a few quirks and tweaks that I will (hopefully) be able to go over within this signup. However, due to the immense amount of information I've put together over the years, putting everything into a single sheet would be foolish. So, I will do my best to keep the details as concise as I possibly can and, more than likely, I will miss a thing or two that I would want to put in.

Basic Rules

Before we get into the game world itself, we should of course go over the rules of play. In addition to the normal forum rules, I ask that you also do your best to adhere to the following:

• Treat Everyone With Respect - This one should be fairly obvious. Just don't be a jerk to others and play nice. If there is any issue, you can come to me with it and we will sort it out, probably through discussion. We want everyone to have a good time, after all.
• Play Reasonably - Essentially, the basic rules for the kind of free-form roleplaying we're doing here apply. Don't assume automatic hits in fights or interactions with other characters, don't make your characters overpowered (unless, of course, it can work for a good plot point, and then I suggest the state be temporary), and be fair. Everything should work out well enough if we can do this.
• Avoid Outside Conflict - There will always be people that we don't like, and there will always be arguments about small things. Refer to the first rule for the procedure for handling this, and in general just try not to bring any baggage from outside the game, in. If, for some reason, you don't think you can play with another player, then it's your judgment call. I won't be kicking anyone for this reason, but I will kick someone who is causing trouble due to it.
• Getting Kicked - My rules about this are fairly simple, actually. Just don't break any of these rules and be good, and you'll be fine. However, if it does come up, I will be courteous enough (in a general sense) to give a first warning about behavior. If this is ignored, you will be temporarily banned from playing the game (a day or two, to cool off.) If this is also ignored, I will just straight up ban you from the game permanently, and if issue persist I will deal with them appropriately.
• Mature Themes - Blood happens. Love, and it's consequent activities, happens. And I'm fine with that, but some others might not be. Use good judgment and remember that tasteful Fade to Black's are a thing.
• Enjoy the Game - Less a rule than a suggestion. We're all here to have fun, and I hope we can make something...well, fun out of this.

The Game World

With that out of the way, we can go over some of the most basic details of the game. Even being concise, however, there will be a lot of stuff I want to put on here, so I will be putting them in folders, so that it isn't...too cluttered. I thank you now for your patience in this matter. I suggest you don't try to go over everything all at once, but hey, you do you. And again, thank you for your patience.

The following are the countries and cultures of Glamaria (isn't letting me make a folder for whatever reason).

The Character Sheet

With all that out of the way, here is the character sheet, to help facilitate character creation.

• Name: Obvious
• Race: Also obvious
• Gender: Somewhat less obvious, but still obvious.
• Age: Yup
• Physical Description: Can be a picture, or a written description, to detail up to whatever you're comfortable with.
• Personality: Just a few of your characters traits, quirks and the like. I ask for a little more detail on this one, but if you can get the full feel of the character you want in a few words feel free.
• Skills: Non-magical, mostly. Like, martial training, medical training, survival skills, etc.
• Abilities: Special powers or abilities here. Also, if playing a mage, the kind of magic they use with some description would be good as well.
• Equipment: Obvious. On hand stuff should be fine here.
• Other: Anything I haven't thought of that you do, put here.

Now that all that is out of the way (thank you for your patience, I know there's a lot), I will say right here that I will be taking the first six approved sheets for the beginning plot, and others will come in shortly after it ends (shouldn't take long, I promise). Just a focus thing for me and I would be remiss not to mention.

Posting interest. Will work on my sheet in the morning.

I've been looking for an interesting RP setting, and I believe I've found it.

• Name: Theodor Skyge Parshill
• Race: Humans
• Gender: Male
• Age: Thirteen years old.
  • Yet, he does not appear to be Thirteen, but Older Than He Looks, his body only seemingly aged like that of a 10 year old, in terms of height, build, maturity, pretty much the whole show, including squeaky voice.
• Physical Description: Theo' stands at only 135cm or 4ft 5½ inches which even for the age his body seems to be physically be is rather short. He is thin, gaunt, a little unhealthy in that way actually though its not something that people really see with his baggy clothing atop.
  • His young rounded, youthful face has a slightly pointed chin. His face is sprinkled with a number of freckles that seem to only exaggerate how young he seems, making him look even younger to some. His eyes are heterochromic, one a swampy greenish blue, or perhaps darker teal; the other is this unnatural and unsettling pinkish purple. His head is topped with straight brown hair, earthy in tone, it was short but has since outgrown a bit messy way.
  • Clothing wise Theo is almost always dressed in a similar attire, a rather baggy looking hoodie, long often dark jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of very comfortable sneakers. Now when I say he's almost always dressed in this, I mean it. He does clearly change his clothes, evident by the colors of his outfit often changing, yet its always the same. This does bring up the speculative guessing game, how many different sets of jeans, hoodie, shirt and sneakers does he have. (Hint: Not aging or growing much, therefore not outgrowing them really helps in building up a large collection of them.)
  • Image link provided for fun!◊
• Personality: Theo is intelligent, very much so with a mind that is often focused on large, far out things less than what's going on around him; prone to daydreaming or getting lost in thought. Or talking or even arguing with himself alot randomly.
  • He is either dedicated, or stubborn it is hard to tell which, willing to pursue something with an immense willpower to succeed despite previous failures or even physical opposition. Theo despite all of this, is not prideful at least never acts this way. He doesn't lack in self-esteem he is sure of him abilities and skills, but it will almost never translate it to pride or arrogance in his work. Just par for the routine.
  • Theo is idealistic. The right way is always possible, it is worth hanging onto. Things will get better given enough time and effort. He firmly believes that nobody is truly as dark or evil as people portray them, simply sometimes their emotions blind them into taking a darker route or taking actions others feel would be evil, but for a good reason.
  • Theo is a studious bookworm a lot of the time, but also a nature lover. Reading some magical esoterica in a nice grassy field would be a perfect afternoon. Of course left to his own devices he can forget to take care of himself getting involved with his tasks, almost with obsession at times. Having to finish what he starts.
• Skills:
  • Lockpicking: Given a need to occasionally go to places he's otherwise not allowed he's taught himself how to, bypass such issues. He isn't great at it, especially if the tools are only improvised but he can do it to a regular lock given some time.
  • Medical knowledge: Obsessed with his work, despite being young he's scoured through medical textbooks, healing manuals, scriptures and listened to healers lectures looking to learn more about anatomy and how it works, how it functions. How to treat injuries and wounds. Its mostly knowledge over experience, he's great at diagnosing the issue and coming up with a treatment idea. Performing the treatment is less in his area of expertise, he has the knowledge not the experience or expertise.
• Abilities: Theo is a mage so his powers mostly revolve around it.
  • Esoteric Necromancy: Expanding upon the usual laws of necromancy, instead of focusing purely upon death. Theo's specialization, esoteric necromancy instead focuses further upon life-force and how it regenerates inside of creatures, how it flows and can be manipulated or harvested. Theo is not your typical necromancer, his philosophy is an odd one, staying away from the corpsers. Theo very rarely dabbles in the creation of undeath, though he does deal in the manipulation of spirits and the countering of corpsers. Instead he focuses further upon giving back life, reinforcing it. Using both his medical knowledge and understanding of Life Essence, he can perform abet unorthodox version of healing magic and similar manipulation of the body. He can of course perform other kinds of magic but this is far certainly his strongest area of expertise, just remember that the powers used to heal can also kill, and it is still necromancy in the end being performed.
  • Something unusual(???): For reasons unclear or undisclosed; despite his diminished physical age and race which together should give him a comparatively small personal reservoir of essence to perform his magic with, his is much larger than it should be. Not unreasonably so, but to a level slight more than a full-grown and mature adult. This little secret has been precleared with the GM.
• Equipment:
  • Elderwood Stave: This slightly small stave wooden stave is mage from the branches of a very old tree centered on that was once a major battlefield, it is bigger than Theo and was custom carved for his requirements to serves as a focus for assisting his complex and unusual form of magic. It is unenchanted though attuned well to fit Theo's unique requirements of channeling Life Essence. The glassy crystalline orb that the roots grasp at the end seem to change color to match that of the corresponding eye to the hand he's holding it with, or silver if held with both hands.
  • Skeletal Companion: Whenever viable Theo often has a small and oddly proportioned skeleton hanging from and round his shoulders. The skeleton is inanimate though does seem to cling onto his hoodie actively and hang like a cape. A rune is carved onto his skull carefully and faintly, as on a few other bones as well. When called upon, Theo can imbue the skeleton with only the tiniest amount of power to make it become both animate but also grow, well more correctly unshrink the skeleton returning to its true size that about 4ft tall, correctly proportioned; that of a young child. It isn't super strong though the magic enbued does make it surprisingly capable of performing tasks or even surprisingly holding itself somewhat in a fight (it is certainly no expert), ignoring size issues.
  • Old Lockpicks: A old set of lockpicks he got given by one of his mentors. They aren't great but they do the job better than improvising it, even if they're a little rusty. The set is pretty small and often kept in his back pocket.
  • White leather satchel: This nearly pristine white leather satchel is strong and sturdy, very expensively made and given to him as a gift a while back. It is kinda large for Theo but that's fine the extra carry space is appreciated and it actually isn't that heavy The bag contains a waterproof compartment which he stores his books in. Inside the main section of the bag he stores the rest of his equipment such as writing implements, a speculative number of changes of clothes, as well as other common carry items he might want. All of this kept exceptionally light and able to fit in the satchel due to item shrinking spells Theo has cast upon his various belongings.
• Other: TBA

• Personality: Tor is generally very mild-mannered and only has a habit of speaking when spoken to, likely from his servile upbringing. He can be a bit timid and jumpy, especially when he fears he's done something wrong and is naive about a lot of the outside world. He enjoys collecting stray objects and flowers.
• Skills:
  • Natural Strength and Agility: Being a beastkin, Tor's body is naturally stronger and hardier, allowing him to run faster and longer, and generally work himself further before getting tired.

  • Essence Aura: Tor can channel his Essence into an aura that surrounds his body, giving him the ability to augment his body's physical capabilities. Still training this ability.
• Equipment:
  • Traveller's Cloak: A large, crimson cloak Toraq dons when traveling in populated places that he uses to help conceal his identity. (Has another possible function will have to ask the GM about adding).

Is it ok if I post 2 sheets at once? (If I make it to the first 6, I'll just have one of them join the initial plot.)

Posting interest!

@Aqueous Bunnies: I think it'd be better if you focus on one at a time, but I guess it's up to Tom in the end.

@darkdestinysoul: Your sheet looks good. Accepted.

@Baron Green: As above, so below. So far it looks good, should be all set once you've got it fully finished.

@Aqueous Bunnies: You may make two sheets, but just the one character for the initial plot thing.

All others, I look forward to seeing your ideas.

@rooter: While I appreciate the concept, I have some problems with the sheet itself, which seems...woefully incomplete. I realize I said that it didn't necessarily have to be super detailed, but yours is overly sparse.

Next, there are some issues with the character as a PC. I listed the races as a show of what is playable, and while I wouldn't mind your character having a dragon as a companion (the Dragon Guard), just the dragon seems a little overpowered. This is backed up by your "equipment."

I could probably go on, but I don't want to sound like a jerk about it, but in short I can't accept what you've given, as there is simply not enough to work with. You are welcome to revise it, of course.

edited 14th Jan '17 9:20:33 AM by MrJikoui

Okay, sheets finished, I think.

Voila:

• Name: Ašida iž-Rasadi ^{Pronunciation, for those who understand IPA}  /ɑː.∫i.dɑː/ /iʒ/ /rɑːsɑːdi/ The caron is used instead of a sh/zh diphthong for… reasons.
• Race: Yveri
• Gender: Female
• Age: 28
• Physical Description:
  • Ašida has light blue skin, white hair with tinges of light purple at the tips, and eyes grey as a stormcloud. She has sharp, almost elven, features, giving her a far haughtier image than she really is.
  • She wears a Badass Longcoat, a long blue-grey coat with many pockets over practical-but-fine clothing.
• Personality:
  • Ašida is an intelligent and sophisticated woman. She’s generally cheerful but reserved, and she gets along well with most people, though she’ll rarely pass up a moment to make snide remarks. She’s calm and collected, no matter the chaos going on around her.
    She’s also brutally pragmatic. Her father was, essentially, the Yveri equivalent of Otto von Bismarck, and her upbringing reflected it. She was groomed to go into politics, and thus, (obligatorily) has a great distaste for it.
• Skills:
  • Can shoot well.
  • Decent swordswoman.
  • She’s actually a fairly good public speaker.
  • Basic first aid. Comes in handy when something backfires.
  • A self-styled inventor, she can build and maintain magitech devices.
• Abilities:
  • Like all Yveri, she can slow her fall/glide in the air, given enough ambient Essence. A faint wind blows around her, giving a wonderful Dramatic Wind effect with her coat.
• Equipment:
  • Essentially, a magitech Gauss gun. When the trigger is pulled, a system triggers essence capacitors to release a massive electric charge, creating a large current in a series of coils, one after the other, propelling a magnetic slug at high velocities downrange.
  • A messenger bag with random odds and ends. Half-finished projects, tools, batteries, that sort of thing
  • First-aid kit.
  • Finely crafted, ornate officer’s saber, though clearly designed for use in combat.
• Other: Anything I haven't thought of that you do, put here.

@Izshta and Baron Green: Sheets are good. Accepted.

• Name: Theodor "Araton" Horizonwalker
• Race: Dwarf
• Gender: male
• Age: 25
• Physical Description: Araton◊ stands at 143 cms (a little bit higher than 4' 8'' for those not familiar with the metric system). He has an athletic body even for a dwarf, hidden under a scholars robe, due to his insistence to observe whatever interests him from near and far, making him climb mountains whenever it suits him.
• Personality:
  • "Mad", "driven", "creepy", "if he studies something intensely, messing with him is suicide". All those are phrases to describe Araton. Some think he is mad due to his birth near the soulforge, some think it is due to both his parents being collected late, but nobody really knows for sure. Fact is, he has an unusual, if not unsettling demeanor. Since the age of 20, after he left his hometown, he let the spirits of both knowledge and possession drive him on his way, at times stopping for days to inspect a boulder, at times wandering for a month without stopping except to hunt, eat or sleep. During these years he acquired the name Araton.
  • If not researching things, he is nice and helpfull.
• Skills:
  • Pathfinder: Once Araton has set his mind to getting somewhere, he will find a way.
  • Feral Heart: Araton has acquired nearly unnatural instincs and dexterity during his journey and the dnagers he went through.
  • Seamster: Araton can sew leather and cloth into bags, clothes and other usefull stuff like traps or slings.
• Abilities:
  • The Incomplete One: Due to an unusual connection to The Wanting and Ra'Rntal, Araton can "let" (it is not always his choice) the last figments of a spirit enter his own, accessing the skills of beings long passed. As long as this power is active Aratons teeth and eyes shine with a pale light.
  • The Spirits Guidance: Occassionally, Araton is driven towards a place in a way that is reminiscent of somebody possessed. What he finds there is random. It may be an item close to a figment or it may be an Accountant who Araton gives the last figments of a spirit passed.
• Equipment:
  • Ironwood Walking Stick - A thick stick of wood almost as hard as stone at this point, Araton acquired this 1.5m long stick in a ruined houses basement. It serves him well, be it as means of defense, offense or simply digging out things from the ground.
  • Sewing kit: Araton carries around a sewing kit to repair his equipment.
  • Winter Scholars Cloak: A thin cloak with furtrimmings at its edges, this cloak nontheless protects the wearer from the cold as well as multiple layers of clothes. It is brown on the outside and white on the inside.
• Other:
  • Still Known as Theodor in in his hometown.

edited 16th Jan '17 12:24:39 PM by Blackie

@Blackie: Your sheet is approved, looks interesting. That puts us at 4 for now.

Name - Corvus "Cor" Corax

Race - Elven - Goblin Caste

Gender - Male

Age - 19

Physical Description -

Personality - Corvus is generally cheerful and friendly until you wind up pissing him off, in which case look out for his forceful and tactless anger, which is normally a bit physical in nature, though, to be fair, he's broken more of his own fingers punching through walls than he has seriously harmed other people. He's rather brave and enjoys the rush of adrenaline that comes with taking risks, moving to action where the meek might not. Despite some bitterness toward other elves, particularly those who would look down upon him for his Goblin Caste, he's very optimistic, and doesn't dwell on negatives. He is open with his often intense emotions, especially when it comes to joy and rage. He's proud of his own abilities and knows that he can accomplish whatever task he's set for himself, by force and thick-headedness if need be.

Cor has a rather healthy self-image, and isn't above a bit of bragging and embellishment. He enjoys competition, and while he does prefer if he wins, he isn't usually an overly sore loser if he feels he's been fairly beaten.

Given his bitterness at having grown up as a third class citizen, he doesn't like it when others try to order him about, and while he enjoys companionship, he will place himself first if push comes to shove and will go it alone if he feels he's getting taken advantage of.

Skills -

• He's rather skilled with a longbow.
• Fluent and literate in several languages and dialects of Glamarian, including Modern, Dwarvish, Ancient, and a few dead languages.
• Has a way with people and animals
• He's rather brilliant, particularly when it comes to history.
• He's spent a good deal of time in the Badlands, and has developed a tidy repertoire of survival skills. He also has a few friends in the Dragon Guard from his experiences here.
• Passable singer: Baritone

Abilities - Nothing too out of the ordinary beyond a slight and passive healing factor.

Equipment - Longbow & Quiver x1, Traveler's Pack x1, Canteen x1, Sieve x1, Flint x2, 25' of rope, 10' roll of canvas (currently containing a silver medallion of as-yet unknown origin), Compass x1, Tent x1, Trowel x1, Bucket x1, Sleeping Blanket x2, Brush x3

Other - Studying at the university to become an Archaeologist of the Arcane and is a member of a group from the university composed of his fellow classmates and a few professors who periodically work on relatively safe digs.

@Ghost Elm: Sheet looks good. Approved.

• Name: Richard O Bradain
• Race: Bear Beastkin
• Gender: Male
• Age: 20
• Physical Description:
  • Appearance: Richard is 5’11”/180 cm, has fair skin and is rather bulky. He has neck length, slightly wavy auburn hair and a beard, along with thick body hair. He has hazel eyes, and his ears are distinctly rounded. His jaw and nose are slightly elongated and box-shaped. He has a small vertical scar over his left eyebrow.
  • When he shifts, his appearance becomes much more akin to that of a bipedal bear and he gets a more heavyset build. His fur is a slightly darker shade of red-brown from his hair, except for a rounded wedge-shaped patch of blond going down from the base of his neck to his sternum ^note  based on the sun bear .
  • Attire: Richard tends to wear padded clothing with muted colors and a belt. He wears a fur cape in colder places, as well as his signature satchel everywhere he goes.
• Personality:
  • Richard is generally contemplative, soft-spoken and a good listener. However, he isn’t shy, and will quickly defend people he sees are being bullied or in danger. He actually becomes ‘’more’’ quiet when he’s angry, and if provoked enough will resort to action.
  • While generally maintaining a positive attitude, he’s sensitive about certain issues like marginalization. He’s proud of who he is and respects other people’s diversity, as long as they don’t step on each other’s toes. He’s a healthy mix of primal and cerebral, and gets along especially well with those who share his passion for knowledge.
• Skills:
  • Beastkin traits: On top of generally maintaining his body, he naturally has higher fitness and endurance as a beastkin. He also has an enhanced sense of smell.
  • Fighting: Richard is a capable brawler, both unarmed and using his claws. He focuses on striking hard and fast, and relies on magical buffs for defense.
  • Craftsmanship: Richard learned how to make various tools & objects as a teenager, partly to fund his studies. He is particularly familiar with leather, and also works with some other materials like metal and wood. He uses magic to aid and enhance his crafted objects (as explained below).
  • Music: Richard is a singer, having practiced since before he was a teenager. He can also play the flute and drum.
  • Wildlife knowledge: Richard is quite knowledgeable about environments & animals from his studies and experience.
• Abilities:
  • Druidism: Richard can communicate with animals by magically interpreting between his speech and animal sounds. He can use a Compelling Voice to outright control non-sapient creatures, though he prefers to befriend them first. He is able to use minor nature & healing magic on the side.
  • Shapeshifting: As a beastkin, Richard can transform back and forth between his human-like appearance and his more animalistic one.
  • Kinetomancy: Richard is able to convert Essence into raw force, manifesting mainly as telekinesis, energy bolts and barriers.
  • Transmutation & enchantment: Arguably where Richard’s strongest magical talent lies, Richard uses magic in his craftsmanship to transform raw materials. He can also change their properties, and give both temporary and permanent enchantments. This process can also work in reverse; one of his destructive spells allows him to disintegrate most unprotected, non-living objects up to roughly the size of a crate at a time.
    • Abjuration: Richard practices a peculiar method of magically augmenting his allies, in that he bases it on spells that he would use on objects.
    • Musical magic: Richard can enchant his instruments to play themselves, and his voice to sound differently or multiple notes at the same time, effectively turning him to a one-man band. He isn’t able to use other magic directly through song, however.
  • Counterspelling: Studying from books about the Codex Knights, Richard has higher than average defense against hostile magic. He is able to forcefully dissipate the Essence pools of others by ‘piggybacking’ on other spells or attacks, and also dispel weaker magic effects.
• Equipment:
  • Clawed gloves: Richard crafted this pair of fingerless gloves as weapons in his human-like form. The gloves themselves are very tough and protect his hands, while the claws attached to them are enchanted to lengthen and become lighter or heavier as necessary. They meld into his hands when he’s more animalistic.
  • Enchanted satchel: This leather satchel is enchanted to be a Bag of Holding, having the space of a large backpack and being very durable. Some notable items inside include a couple Essence potions, treats for wildlife, a few spell tomes, a music book and a drum.
  • Mage's cloak: While not hailing from Bastion, Richard has a red mage cloak with him from being a student at the Arcane University. He only wears it sometimes, and more often than not keeps it inside his bag.
• Other: TBD

@ Aqueous Bunnies: Looks good to me, but do not wait overlong to finish up. We can start on that.

Those others that are still interested, feel free to post character sheets, and you be added into the game as soon as we can possibly move, and sorry for any inconvenience that may cause.

Lastly, "Discussion" and "Game" pages are up, if you'd like to peruse them. There's not much on them, of course, but still.

Sheet done. Will work on the other character sometime soon.

It was suggested I mention that the signups are not closed. Feel free to make a sheet if you're interested in playing, and you will be introduced into the game itself at the soonest possible moment.

• Name: Doremi "Doot" Fasolla
• Race: Vel'khana
• Gender: Female
• Age: 16 years
• Physical Description: A green, vaguely person-shaped blob of jello. Doremi is more interested in the world around her than in her own body, so her appearance is one that can be called sloppy for a Vel'khana. Since she's used to cramped and confined spaces, she just barely puts in the effort to look humanoid, consistent in only putting all the parts in the right places.
• Personality: An eccentric and endlessly curious soul born and forgotten on an airship. Spending her formative years hidden between the nooks and crannies of the cabins before the crew adopted her has given her a distaste for direct social activity and distinct voyeuristic tendencies. While she is content to only observe the world and read about it from the comfort of her ship, a compelling conversation has sent her on her way to experience the world first hand. With most of her outside experience limited to short trips to the docks and supply runs, she can be easily lost in the momentum of her own excitement. . .
• Skills:
  • Can do a half decent job as a backup for technical members of an airship crew, including repairs, cleaning, and piloting, as well as a few miscellaneous skills picked up from passengers including first aid, boxing, and airship-to-airship badminton.
  • Living between the walls of an aging air vessel has adapted Doremi for subtlety, to avoid attention and in consideration of those around her. Using her enhanced senses allows her to move and disappear like a ghost, assuming she has cover.
  • A fondness for music has led her to memorize every song on Glamarian radio ^note if that's even a thing and the ability to mimic them like a one-person sound system. The variety of passengers she's seen has given her a passing understanding of contemporary languages and the ability to mimic voices, although not necessarily how to use the words she learns.
• Abilities:
  • Extreme high-fidelity sensory perception: assuming she's paying attention, she's able to count the pores on someone's skin, follow the pattern in woodgrain, or track objects faster than the human eye even in the dark, her other senses as sharp comparatively. Admittedly, she uses them to find something to distract herself within the first place.
  • As an Essence-rich Velkhana, her singing is magically imbued with a haunting, bewitching quality that compels those who hear it with the spirit of the song, whether it is melancholy, passion, or action. Doremi, however, is not a mage, and her magic is untrained. It's effect is a mere suggestion, only those who willingly follow it will fall for it. Doremi's stage fright, however, severely limits the versatility of this ability.
• Equipment: A tool chest with basic airship tools that she also uses as a bed, containing handtools as well as an essence/electric powered arc welder.

So what that's three people now who do music?

Ha, yeah it seems that way. Got a veritable band in the works. Your sheet has my approval, and we will get you introduced into the game as soon as possible.

I'm sorry to say, but I don't think I can participate. Between timezones and TV Tropes forums lagging the crap out of my browser, it wouldn't be practical for me to play. Have fun you guys!
