[Nanami Touko]

Name: Linn Meneth

Gender: Female

Age: 63

Race: Elf

Class: Acolyte

Appearance:

Occupation: Traveler/student

Nationality: Inthus

Personality: Linn is a curious soul, and is particularly interested in how most human cultures work. She's quick to question people and converse about anything that comes up, wanting to learn more about it all. She's not entirely rude about it, but can push into personal territory in the pursuit of knowledge.

Inventory: Plain Tome (anima)

Skills: Tome Slayer

Level: 0/2

Raw Stats: HP: 5 STR: 0 MAG: 5 SKL: 4 SPD: 6 LCK: 4 DEF: 2 RES: 3

Simplified Stats: HP: 15 MT: 5 HIT: 6 AS: 6 AVO: 8 DEF: 2 RES: 3

Backstory: Sent to Inthus to learn about humans when she reached the elf age of sixty, Linn has spent most of her time learning of the culture, learning of their magics, and finding out whatever she could from the locals. Having a natural talent for magic, being an elf, she took it upon herself to study it up to a useable level, marveling at the wonder of it.

It was during her third year there that she ran into a curious man by the name of Aeson, a healer of sorts on a journey to learn the worships of the world. Seeing this as a wonderful chance to learn many more things than she would sitting still, she tagged along with him, no matter what he said against it. He was a priest after all, and had no one to protect him! Who better than a powerful, knowledge hungry mage?

Simplified Stats:

HP: 21 MT: 4 Hit: 5 AS: 4 Ev: 5 Def: 3 Res: 3

Backstory:

Alfonso has served Antar from a young age, born under a family of soldiers. Servitude was his first name, though he hadn't a chance to shine in this relatively peaceful age, never becoming much stronger. Disappointment grew with him over the years, though he still tried his earnest to become a fit soldier for his country's sake. The moment never came, and eventually the stories of war from 100 years ago just let linger a bittersweet feeling on young Alfonso. He lived a life in most delusion since, marrying a fine Antarian lady by the name of Amalda and growing a family as simple as could be. Eventually, in his late 30s, Alfonso had picked the pen and became literate, finding himself joy in tales and stories of knights and dragons.

A horizon that rekindled a desire he thought long lost.

Ever since, Alfonso decided to stay put no longer. He wished to see and know of the lands he heard about, of the warriors out there, of the duties beyond that of a soldier. Kindly putting his knighthood 'on hold', he became a travelling knight of sorts. He joined groups of travellers and mercenaries, offering his skills as a knight for some pay and subsistance as he travelled the land, returning home sometimes, but less often after each journey. Leaving home a loved wife and son, the latter whom seemed to be growing a fine merchant, Alfonso left to unfold as many mysteries as he could while he still felt young inside.

literally everything is wrong about your simplified stats and inventory

please try again

[scorri]

Ooooooook. So. There are a decent number of issues with your stats in specific and the signup in general. How about you go reread the OP, focusing on the combat section that talks about stats, the section for trainee classes, and the signup section. Once that's done, send me a PM with your new signup. If it's good, I'll approve it and you can just edit the above signup. If there are still issues, we can talk about it in PM.

From all that defending and no actual combat experience, Alfonso mans up!

... only in bravado, as his skills with the lance weren't tested, it's a sad day to be an old man!

Level up!

His hype energy gives him the strength to keep going! + 2 HP!

Along the way, he decides to polish his armor some more, from the dust and sprinkles of blood that flied from his less fortunate companions. There wasn't much to clean, so he ended up rubbing off some of the rust! + 1 Defense!
