Return of The Emblem Information & Signup

[Phoenix]

Team Valcyn's got a challenge coming up (Challenge being an optional fight that unlocks one or two things when completed). It'd be a bit rough trying to slip Cless into that, and he'd need his stats worked out (current system version) to participate in the battle. Just want to note that really quick here. It's doable if you'd rather join sooner than later, but otherwise the group will be preparing to head east afterward ... assuming nothing tragic happens.

[Drarky]

I'll wait for the challenge to end if it is possible before joining, I can wait for that.

[Phoenix]

Alright then. If you've got any questions in the meantime, let me know. Since you're waiting til post-challenge, you don't need to worry about most of the current rules in the opening post other than leveling and stats. You can look over the update files in my sig/chat thread to get a better idea of how the update's actually going to look, though.

[Ethyl Wave]

Sure, that sounds nice! Team Sanctuary and joining on the ship it is, then.

[Phoenix]

Alright then, I'll send you some information on that in a pm later today. Anyone else interested in joining Team Sanctuary as one of the ship captain's hires, let me know.

[Thany]

its nice to see we are still getting new recruits even during the update period.

Decided to up level.

[-Cynthia-]

Any backstory? It doesn't have to be a lot, but something to go on will help make recruiting your character easier.

[Malfaria]

I forgot!!!

[Phoenix]

More importantly hybrids between humans and avians are impossible, so you'll have to scrap that part altogether. Being raised by a human/avian pairing is fine since that does happen, but they couldn't both be the parents. Also I highly recommend reading the avian article before signing up any avian characters. I wouldn't be comfortable approving avian characters from rpers new to the setting otherwise, even if everything else in the signup was fine.

And here is a link to said information, have fun reading! :DDDD

[Snike]

OK, so a couple things aside from lore:

You are entitled to a free Skill, with any other skills costing 100 points to acquire. Take note of the level requirements, however. Here is the skill list, for reference:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E-l5NhuFcKqg4ctSwjctwyiLW_o1hPfUz0P1LAEykYA

You might want to indicate what tier your character is (1,2,or 3) by using the appropriate title. As it stands, a Level 3 Tactician is only tier 1, so you would have base stats + 6 points to work with, which is way below your raw stats. Alternately you could indicate the exact level you are, counting up from 1. In that example, a Level 1 Strategist would be a Level 6 Tactician, and a Level 1 Grandmaster would be a Level 11 Tactician.

As it stands, your current simple stats amount to 50, which is an erroneous amount. Depending on whether you want to be a Level 3 Strategist (tier 2 or Level 8) or a Level 1 Grandmaster (tier 3 or Level 11), you are either 8 points over (42) or two points short (52). In addition, your MAG is at 12, which is either 4 points or 2 points over the cap at those respective levels, so those points need to be cut/moved, respectively.

If you opt to take the lower level, you could simply drop your MAG to 8 and take the Robust skill, which grants 4 raw HP while equipped. Your raw line would look like this:

HP: 7 Str: 4 Mag: 8 Skl: 6 Spd: 6 Lck: 7 Def: 4 Res:4

While your simplified might would be 8 for your tome and otherwise unchanged.

Incidentally, your HIT simplified is 7, not 8, as it is a 25% bonus rounding down, not up.

Hope this helps.

[Malfaria]

Will Edit. Thanks!

Which RP Topic is Sanctuary anyway?

Edited October 10, 2016 by Malfaria

[Phoenix]

The chapter titled 'Fight'. Both topics are tagged with their respective teams so just look for 'Team Sanctuary'.

[Nanami Touko]

so like

is he an avian

because the whole, emotions mind read-y thing is birb specific

unless you just mean he's really empathetic.

Edited October 10, 2016 by Narmaya

[Malfaria]

Not Avian, but empathetic. Part of that came from his Avian parent.

[scorri]

So he's adopted kid then? And just good at sensing that a person is sad. Seems legit.

[Malfaria]

I guess so. Let me know if or when my character is accepted.

[Phoenix]

Just a couple more corrections, Mal:

I take it you're meaning to start at Tier 2 Level 3, so you should note that instead of Tier 1 Level 3 (only 26 points+the 12 HP from robust otherwise lol). Assuming it's 2-3 then only the HP needs correcting, so the stats should be ...

Raw Stats: HP: 3(+4) Str: 4 Mag: 8 Skl: 6 Spd: 6 Lck: 7 Def: 4 Res:4
Sim Stats HP: 9(+12) Mt: 4+(Sw)/12+(Tome) Hit: 7 AS: 6 Evade: 13 Def: 4 Res:4

You can make as many changes as you want prior to your character partaking in a stat battle, so don't feel like you're locked into anything just yet.

[Malfaria]

Thanks, editing again.

[Phoenix]

Ray's still listed as a tier 1 but I'm just going to assume that's a typo. Should still fix it for posterity, though. Anyway, no other problems I'm seeing. Ray approved (sorry for the long delay). Besides PM and the chat thread on SF, the rp also has a channel on IRC and on skype. I recommend using at least one of these to stay on top of things.

[Malfaria]

'Kay. He's supposed to be Tier 1, though.
