Fantasy War of the Magi [OPEN] (Character Creation and OOC)

[CHUUYAS_HAT]

Lol. I can't wait to see all your character's reactions.

Especially to the Guard smacking Green out the way and onto the ground

Is Sekhemi human or like....the pharoh isn't considered one?

 

[ShinyEve]

Piper will protect the bean now

Lol. Luckily. Green has earth magic, so he won't be hurt, still, lol.

Next post btw, Lady Red will finally show up.

 

[PharaohAtem]

Let's see how many people Sekhemi pisses off.

I'm counting on..... everybody. We'll see.

Yeah Rose isn't so concerned about a magic dragon in a group of 5 other magic dragons she knows he'll be fine but damn destroying that magi tech is a fast way to make an enemy of a poor magic researcher

Quibbles Oops i forgot you were waiting on Pozuzy sorry. He wouldn't of carried on yet anyway.

There's research to support this concept. Calculated manipulation tends not to reap as many benefits as just being directly cooperative, as most people who try the manipulation aren't as good as they think they are at it.

Another thing is that even the risks they did take are too much if you're playing the long game and are the kind of being Kodoku is. Unless you're able to cover up your misdeeds 100% of the time, you will get caught eventually, so the strategy isn't as effective as being directly cooperative. Of course, you might be able to get away with it if you're immensely powerful and charismatic, but that doesn't seem to be how their author was writing them.

And this is a thing it can learn in time. Maybe it will become directly cooperative because it does work in its own self interest. So far the only creature that has taken interest in it is the sin demon, so we'll see what it learns in time.

It's fine. It was just that all Kodoku was really doing in that scene was watching other folk and being sour about things. Which is no fun as a character or a player. There is a whole school to explore and that seems far more enjoyable than being a wallflower or getting itself and other in trouble with the teachers. It might be able to have productive interactions at the school that it could not on the meeting area and had the ability to get to the grounds under its own power, so it seemed a reasonable thing to do.

Yeah. Plus once they are officially on school grounds and are given free reign to explore, interact with room mates, and other things it'll be a lot more interesting.

Quick question. Is Piper picking Green up and holding him in his hands?

yes- if wanted

 

[ShinyEve]

yes- if wanted

Ok cool. Thanks

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Cool. If you can, please add some sort of picture of your character but other than that, accepted.

I don't do pictures because none of them ever look like my characters. Is it ok if I skip pictures entirely? I do provide detailed descriptions.

[ShinyEve]

Cool. I had Piper pick Green up then.

Name: Keesha Sekhmet
Gender: Cisgender Female
Age: 17
Species: Sphinx
Room Number: TBA
Alignment: Neutral Good
Appearance: A creature with the head of a human, the ears and body of a lioness, and feathered wings. Her skin is medium-dark, with a saturated tone. Her wings, which are shaped like those of an eagle, are light blue with a barred pattern of a darker, less saturated blue. The coat on her leonine portion is a consistent golden color. Her facial features include monolid amber eyes, pointed teeth, full lips, and a flat-bridged nose. The hair on her head is dark auburn and styled in Bantu knots. Her front paws do not look much like human hands, but are more dextrous than an actual lion's.

Personality: Extroverted, cheerful, caring, poetic, flamboyant

Bio: Was orphaned when she was too young to remember her parents and taken in by a human who sympathized with Magi. This human, Euridice blackwell, had always staunchly protected her, but was never well connected in the Magi community due to living in a remote location that didn't have many Magi. As a result, Keesha never learned to take a human form and never had to, but often felt isolated from the small, predominately human community she lived in. Eventually, Eridice's health began to fail, leaving her and her adoptive sister, Jacqueline, in a crisis- Euridice could no longer work on the family;s subsistence farm, and would need to move to the city to be closer to medical care. City life would be a danger to Keesha, but she was willing to take the risk for the family that took her in.
Eventually, Keesha found out about Magi Arcane Academy, and after discussing it with her family, all agreed that she should enroll.

Main Magic: Earth/stone magic
Sub Magic: Water magic
Likes: Riddles, poetry, exploring, crystals, doing hair, savory foods, writing letters
Dislikes: Fruit-flavored candy, city life, being separated from her family, being alone in general
Family: Biological family is unknown and deceased, raised by Euridice Blackwell who is also currently deceased. She has an adoptive sister, Jacqueline Morse, and a brother-in-law, Hugo Morse.
Friends: She doesn't have many since leaving rural life.
Sentimental Attachment: Her family
Weapon: Her claws, her wits, and her magic

Looks good. Accepted

look on the bright side no matter how much or little your grammaring your grammar does it can't get any worse then mine I'm dyslexic and have always struggled with grammar turns out try to teach grammar to a kid who can talk a mile a minute by saying shit like "put a full stop every YOU would take a breath" leads to a lot of run on sentence my teacher advice for commers and other punctuation wasn't any better so now even when I remember to try touse grammar it's still always end up a mess

Did I sound rude?

I can't help my half autistic brain to need some perfectionism either.

Nah ya didn't sound rude I just found it funny because I didn't spot any grammar issues though that's like saying a guy with poor eye sight didn't see anything suspicious in a dark room

I will admit, I could also use a refresher on such things. I get too used to talking and forget how to properly translate that into text. Sitting through an elementary school grammar lesson again likely would do me a world of good. They sort of teach it once and it fades as they focus on other elements in English classes. It's been forever since I've had to diagram a sentence. If it makes either of you feel any better, your posts do seem to be readable and communicate the concepts clearly, so the sentences seem to be doing their jobs.

That's good I at least try to use comma to split up my sentence a little in situations where not using one could be a confusing or where the lack of one chances the meaning of what my character is saying like with the thanks anyway, though although I am aware I don't use near enough full stops

At least we all have some things we need to practice

Agreed though it's kinda messed up that it's human nature to feel better about struggling or messing up when you know other or see other facing similar issues I get the at least I'm not alone vibe but from another perspective that's basically "I'm glad to see others are struggling"

Yeah I watched a little to much TV as a kid and one thing it thought me was everything is about perspective literally everything has multiple meanings and interpretations depending on how you look at it though that kinda lead me to over annalise things as a kid and that kinda lead to me becoming a realist though l have been called pessimistic more then a few times not sure if that say more about the state world itself or the view/ perspective of the people I hang out with
