[/QUOTE]
i have not seen the cs, so judging from that one line of text i made a guess. seeing the picture, i can understand why he'd be a supermodel, but in my head i was envisioning something more along the lines of "snow white and the seven dwarves"

 

[Teh Frixz]

"Gimme a fantasy species and a job"


And then Welian said

@King Of Imagination i know this prob sounds lazy but what do u think of me reusing Eden from REVOLUTIONS (with some tweaks of course)


i can link u if u forget what I'm talking about


edit: am i the only one who's getting this big fucking blank space on all my posts

 

[King Of Imagination]

No. That falls completely outside the realm of magic that I described and is, being a power of a god, innately overpowered. You could use magic that temporarily augments your strength if you're really dead set on the strength thing though.

 

[King Of Imagination]

You could also use a race that has inherent strength, like orcs, Goliaths, etc. But as I said, what you described does not fall within the parameters of magic that I set forth.

Here my character. Kinda need to work on my art. Didn't spend that much time on the image because writing is hard.

  Background:
  
  
  March 15th isn't Shy's real birthday. It was the day that he was found on the steps of St. Elis Orphanage. The orphanage was a lively environment, and Shy had no shortage of friends; however an accident happened when Shy was 6 years old. Children like to play pretend; lead by one of the older children of the orphanage, the children went through a phase where they imagined themselves as Psychics. However, in Shy's case, it wasn't a case of make believe. 2 of Shy's friends were sent to the hospital after a large dining table flew across the room. No one knew what happened but after the incident, Shy locked himself in his room and shunned himself from the other children.
  
  
  Before his enrollment into highschool, Shy never really stood out. However, within the first few weeks, it became evident that Shy was a genius. Perhaps it was because of the years he spent alone in his room, Shy easily won every academic award the school had to offer. Although a intellectual powerhouse, Shy rarely showed up to classes, only attending classes on exam days and the bare minimum required to gain credit for the class. His academic achievements were enough to win him a scholarship to a prestigious university which he currently attends as a first year student.
  
  
  Personality:
  
  
  "If I don't want to do something, I'll try my hardest to avoid having to do so."
  
  
  Shy is lazy. More accurately, he hates being told what to do. He also enjoys learning new things, however, he looks own on people who he thinks have lesser intellegence. Often speaks sarcastically.
  
  
  Doesn't sleep at normal times. Prefers to stay awake during the nights and sleep during the day.
  
  
  "Why be something more when you can be less."
  
  
  Shy prefers not to take fights seriously. Although he has many weapons and strategies at his disposal, he prefers to start with his weakest of his arsenal in order to defeat the enemy with the least effort as possible.

  “Make enough money in one go so I can be lazy for the rest of my life… oh, isn’t that the opposite of ambition?”
  
  
  Anything Else?:
  
  
  "Nope. None. By the way, None refers to my physical strength."
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Magic:
  
  
  "Lazy Magic. Or you can call it psychokinesis or something."
  
  
  Shy can exert control over 25 objects at any given time, as long as the objects are simple (stones, knives, etc.).
  
  
  Direct Control
  
  
  A maximum of 5 objects can be controlled directly with a maximum range of 50 meters. His range of control decreases by 5 meters per object he is controlling. (1 object = 50m, 2 = 45m, etc.). Even at max range, the precision of control drops significantly due to lack of visibility.
  
  
  Command Control
  
  
  Shy can inject a delayed command into 10 objects. The command triggers after a delay or when certain conditions are met. (In 15 seconds, accelerate forwards for 10 meters -- or -- When I snap my fingers, accelerate forwards 10 meters -- or -- Orbit around me at 3 m/s)
  
  
  Idle Control
  
  
  The remaining 10 objects are set on "Sleep" and can do nothing except hover a fixed distance from Shy.
  
  
  Sleeping objects are "ready" so that other control types can be cast on them instantly without physical contact. Control types can be changed instantly. Direct Control can be put to sleep and a sleeping object will assume Direct Control.
  
  
  Command Controls will transfer the order when Control types are switched. (Object with the order "Accelerate forwards 10m when I snap my fingers" is switched with a Sleeping object, the sleeping object gains the order vise versa. This is also applicable to Direct Control Command Control swapping)
  
  
  Limitations:
  
  
  Needs to touch the object with his hands before using psychokinesis on it.
  
  
  Telekinesis requires intense focus. Controlling multiple objects at once may cause Shy to tunnel onto his target and ignore his surroundings.
  
  
  Shy only controls simple objects. No puppets or similar objects as there are too many moving parts.
  
  
  Telekinesis is 5 times stronger than Shy. It can't lift anything 5 times heavier than what Shy can lift (although accidents can happen). If Shy can lift 1kg, his telekinesis can lift 5kg.
  
  
  "I can bench press more weight with my brain than with my arms."
  
  
  Weapons:
  
  
  "Behold my metal toothpicks of death."
  
  
  "Toothpicks" as he calls them, are Shy's weapon of choice. Roughly 15cm long with the thickness of a pen, the point on both ends truely makes them resemble an oversized toothpick. When coupled with Shy's telekinesis, they become lethal flying projectiles or an iron defense against assailants.
  
  
  Chakrams
  
  
  When Shy is forced into a serious fight, he uses 2 chakrams in conjunction with the Toothpicks. The chakrams are a 50cm wide metal ring. Since Shy controls it using psychokinesis, there is no need for a grip. When not in use, the chakrams shrink to the size of a coin for storage.
  
  
  Protective Gear:
  
  
  "The most important part is that the pillow is soft"
  
  
  A regular pillow, except it isn't...but it is. A standard sized pillow made of cut-resistant cloth. Can be used as a floating shield to defend against most bladed weapons.
  
  
  Also used as a method of transportation. Lazing around on a pillow and using psychokinesis to fly is less exhausting than actually walking.
  
  
  "Well I just used some of that military cloth and filled it with pillow stuffing. Then if you try to cut it, impulse and physics happens and you can't. I would explain more but its not like you're going to understand it if I do."
  
  
  Miscellaneous Gear:
  
  
  "I picked up this rock from the ground a few seconds ago. If I want, I shoot it into your head faster than a gun. I can explain the physics behind it, but it would be faster to just demonstrate. I doubt you can comprehend it anyways."
  
  
  Shy can use his psychokinesis on anything he touched with his hands. Pencils, pebbles, coins can all be used as inpromptu projectile weapons.
  
  
  Training Received:
  
  
  "It takes 10,000 hours to fully master something. Therefore I am a master at sleeping."
  
  
  
  
  
  Shy has no formal training in Psychokinesis. All of his knowledge was gained from years of self experimentation. As a result, he is only capible of basic manipulations of objects, but is exceptionally skilled at it. While other psychokinetics can maipulate puppets and complex machines, Shy prefers to only use simple projectiles. However the lack of power is supplimented with Shy's cunning and wit in batte; setting traps and attacking at different angles in contrast to a head on assult.
  
  
  "I can make things fly and I can make them fly fast."

Shiian. I think you should go back and read the posts on what kind of game this is.


Modern fantasy is not a 'everyone has magic' genre. It's a fantasy setting normal place fun pseudo medevial times yanked forward into modern times.


Do people get that?

Just edited my Cs, if you need more detail, you can tell me, I am willing to change my character to join this Rp, the idea is so cool...

Tell me what i need to improve...If any, that is.

 

[Orikanyo]

This is by far the largest interest check I've seen, usually people run off into a thread with maybe like 10 or less posts!


In anycase, ya'll need another?

 

[xDawn2463x]

Hey guys.


So seeing that everyone has started to create and post their CS I'm just saying that though I want to join I wont be able to post my CS till Thursday, Friday latest.


Really sorry for the delay.

 

[King Of Imagination]

dude, the hosted project isn't even close to being up yet.

 

[macathan]

@King Of Imagination


Any idea when it will be up?


*realizing that I sound like an impatient brat, shrugs*

 

[xDawn2463x]

Oh, okay.


I swear for once time is on my side.

 

[Tronethiel]

I agree that this should not just be a cluster of people with random powers. However, the emphasis on standard D&D style fantasy seems too restrictive. Especially in recent years, fantasy has become fairly inclusive. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the most important thing is that the characters are well thought out and believable despite how absurd the complete package or their context might be. That said, this excites me, I just hope people will really break out their imaginations for an awesome project like this.

 

[Orikanyo]

So... it's a hosted project then? What does that entail?


Sorry for appearing out of nowhere, my post got buried, thought to speak up once more.

 

[King Of Imagination]

@Tronethiel7 Between you and Frixz, you're pretty much on the money. Not everyone is going to have magic. It doesn't need to stick to classic D&D structure either. It is a fantasy world in modern times, where there's an elf who offers city tours on the backs of great salamanders. A dwarf model, like frixz's character. An orc who runs a barber shop. In addition, there's the fighting and stuff over the wishes.

 

[Teh Frixz]

My reasoning on pushing the traditional style fantasy is 100% because of the simplicity. Tolkien fantasy is much easier to understand than the complexities of Exalted or Lovecraftian Hyborean mythos. I think if the writer is capable enough, pull in fantasy elements from what ever youd like! I'm all for it!


As such, I'm just trying to offer people examples because I think the majority of the sheets posted so far miss the point of Modern Fantasy entirely and I'm trying to simplify the concept for them.

[Teh Frixz]

Yours is a bit better but there are issues.


Issue 1) Magic - I can't find a setting where Elves have anything close to what you've described. I highly suggest not having any magic at all, as KOI stated earlier, very few people have magic. If you were say, an Elf wizard, then that would make more sense but a young woman working as a waitress is most definitely not going to be a wizard.


2) Age - While not an issue per se, go crazy with it. Remember, elves don't 'age' like humans. You can be super old. A 20 something elf is basically an infant in elf terms.


3) weaponry - why do you need it and why would you have received training? It's the modern times, do people commonly learn how to weild a chain whip? If anything, it'd be a bow and dagger, learned for purely ceremonial reasons because now nine times out of ten, you can buy a gun and just shoot people spinning around with swords.


4) Don't try to stand out. You are already special enough being a PC in a world of NPCs. Be something fun and believable. A young elf making her way in the world and barely passing by as a coffee shop waitress is infinitely more interesting than 'random magic girl #10404829' who has shadow magic and a Gatling gun axe for a weapon that shoots katanas. That's dumb and isn't modern fantasy.


Overall I'd focus on making your Elf more of a real character than another cardboard cut out of an anime character. You don't need magic, you are a magical race in the modern world. That's almost enough. Just be sure to give yourself a good hook too, maybe your Elf family is racist and planning on leaving the human city giving you a tough choice to make. Maybe you start aching to make more money and get a job with a shifty model agency that turns out to be trafficking magical beings.


the setting has so much potential to work with and people should think a little bit harder about what that means. You are on the right track, just do some refining
