    Phew, almost thought you made my character! Similar, but different enough to accept it. You are the dark Wverian, and I shall be the good(ish) one.

    Quick question, what's the stat cap again? I know it's ten for each individual one, but what's the number of points we start with?

    @Jareix Cryvix You have an extra point to spend in your stats. The total only goes up to 44, and 45 is the cap.

    Huh...That's rather interesting. I'm interested in seeing what you've made for a character now. And Kamilia isn't necessarily bad..

    Arra The End of Time


    Name: Hydris Intares
    Race: Seran
    Age: 19
    Description: Tall, lanky at 5'11 feet tall and 150 pounds. His three eyes are white with red fractal patterns as pupils. Main body color is a metallic blue with gold details. Wears a large trenchcoat and dress clothes underneath.
    Backstory:

    Well, for Hydris, after his "birth" he was destined to be a Oracle like his father and his father's father and so on. When he was around 18 years old, the worst thing possible happned to him. He was infected with the Void-Plague. His family was distraught, they now knew their son couldn't be an Oracle, for those with the Void-Plague must be cast out to protect others in fear of the disease spreading on cataclysmic like proportions ever again. His father, Being the Oracle had access to ancient manuscripts which he normally read. His father in a fit of desperation searched through their manuscripts from around the time the last Plauge had ravaged their race. He found whisperings and references to something which had cured a large amount of Serans, knowing there was no other choice he sent his son on a pilgrimage across the world, trying to find a cure.


    Traits:
    Doctor: He is rather fond of helping people, so he trained himself on how to help people in an extensive array of medical situations.
    Duelist: Although he is the son of a Oracle, he was forced to train with the Paladins. His weapon of choice is a Seran rapier, which he keeps on his person at all times and has been extensively trained with.
    Pupil: He will take any chance to learn, albeit it may be at his expense he relishes the chance to learn anything.



    Flaw:
    Cowardly: He will back down if scared.
    Sickly: Even being a Seran, he was always pretty weak, although training with the Paladins and long years of healing did help.
    Void-Plagued: He has the Void-Plague, a disease which ends up killing many Serans after its....less then kind side effects. He exhibits the symptoms of it at times.

    Strength: 8
    Endurance: 4 +1

    Dexterity: 4

    Maybe not bad, but probably not of the strongest moral fiber. She will be interesting to say the least, a real challenge to RP as.

    It is done


    Name: Alfhild Johanne


    Race: Wverian


    Age: 19


    Description: Think the good wife, but with little discrepancies. Maybe a smudge of grease on a hand, or a bundle of wires sticking from her satchel. She has brown hair, tied up in a bun. Her ears are pierced at the tip, with simple bronze rings in them. A twisted, gold and glass ring rests on her left ring finger. Normally wears a simple dress and flats, with minimal makeup. Pale complexion, with hazel eyes. Carries a small satchel instead of a purse.


    Backstory: Alfhild grew up in a rich home, though not a loving one. Her parents ignored her, seeing her as more of a nuisance than anything. They had wanted a boy, and saw her as nothing but a mistake. So, she was raised more by the staff than anyone else. She was taught practicalities by the maids, as well as how to be a lady. How to cook by, well, the cooks. The one who she liked the most, though, was the repairman. He taught her the intricacies of machinery, how to build toys and tools alike. She soon fell in love with machines, spending most of her time in the basement, making little inventions and tinkering with existing ones. This is how she lived, until she turned sixteen. Her father had just merged his company with another, and to solidify the deal, he married her off to the owner, Birn Johanne. Birn never saw her as a person, instead as as belonging. Most of the time he would be away at work, leaving her to her own devices at home. He hates her showing any free will, as well as her tinkering. While he's home Alfhild has to put on an act, hiding her inventions. She has been married to him for three years now, and is growing tired of it all. Maybe, she wishes, one day she will just run away from it all. Little did she know that time was fast approaching.


    Inventory: Satchel full of miscellaneous parts and a few small gizmos, as well as a small dagger and a few pieces of fruit.


    Traits:

    Inventor: She is gifted with her hands, being able to craft most anything from scratch.

    Normal: She doesn't stand out in a crowd, letting her blend in easily.

    Well Off: Her husband is very wealthy, so she is able to live comfortably, and out of sight. Along with this, she has a relatively high social standing.



    Flaws:

    Weak: She isn’t physically gifted, having lived a comfortable life with no need to be strong.

    Pacifist: Never raised a hand in anger before, and relatively sheltered when it comes to violence. She finds it repugnant, along with those who worship it.

    Naive: Having grown up sheltered from the world at large, she is relatively naive when it comes to the darker sides of the world.



    Strength: 3

    Endurance: 4

    Speed: 4

    Dexterity: 5(+1)=6

    Perception: 6

    Personality: 7

    Willpower: 2

    Intelligence: 6 (+4)=10

    Fortune: 8

    I dunno what appearance to give my character. I'm going with a Kaissin because they are the fluffiest! They will be a silly wizard or shaman or something.

    Well as Co-GM I'm also here to review applications, so that pun was more or less just added in because I wanted to say it was a good CS.

    Some of the stat bonuses for some races mention Agility, which isn't on the stat list. Which does it mean, speed or dexterity?

    I would also like to ask if there is any more info on Kaissins, i dunno what to base my character off of

    Name: Altim
    Race: Freorn
    Description: Six feet tall with a terrifyingly hulking build to match it. However despite his fearsome physique, Altim enjoys to tinker with mechanical items rather than fight. He has light gray hair and brown eyes and a scar that runs over his left eye.
    Backstory: He was cast out from his family when he was fifteen years old after his parents discovered he was secretly building devices from scrap pieces of technology he had found. His father was furious and told him never to come home again. Since that day he had been living it rough, his passion for technology didn't get him very far as no one was interested in it. After a month, Altim had ran out of money. A local gladiator trainer had seen him by himself and took him in... at a cost. He had to train and participate in regular fights, as well as uphold the reputation of the gladiator school. He participated in these fights for three years, and decided to take what meager amount of money he had earned and move on. He decided to become a traveler, picking up work escorting merchants and doing odd jobs for people from many different places. By the end of his six year adventure he had traveled almost all of Aldria and decided it was time to move on once again. He had picked up a lot of information in his travels and became very educated about the Wverian. Altim thought the Walkian Union was a dream come true and moved there. He picked up work at a gadget repair shop, where he met Synthia, the love his life. They lived and worked together for a year until tensions rose between Altim and Synthia's father. Altim moved out, cutting ties with Synthia and her family. He became a merchant and now spends his time traveling from place to place offering his wares.
    Traits: Friendly and skilled fighter. Would rather talk his way out of situations but will fight if he has to. Love of technology, Skilled salesman.
    Flaws: Too trusting, will often find himself being taken advantage of by others. Has a dislike of spicy food, lactose intolerant.
    Strength:7
    Endurance:5
    Speed: 5
    Dexterity: 3
    Perception: 4
    Personality: 5
    Willpower: 1
    Intelligence: 10

    Okay so, no, your backstory isn't too long. In fact, I'm personally hoping that other people follow your example here and make longer backstories. Brownie points for getting the Freorm culture (the race I developed) more or less correct too. My one issue is your flaw that he dislikes most other Freorm. Your character doesn't seem to be the type to be a blatant racist. Because that's exactly what "Dislikes most other Freorm" means. Now pretend that instead of being a Freorm, your character is black. Would Altim hate all people of darker skin coloring simply because his parents disapproved of him? Either change his personality to fit this flaw or change the flaw to fit his personality. Other than that, grand work.

    EDIT: Yes I'm aware that other people in this RP had also made backstories about this length. You know who you are, and I commend you all as well.
    EDIT AGAIN: Okay, so turns out everyone in this RP has so far made/are working on decent backstories. Good job! :)
