I'll build the human.

  Reveal hidden contents

Name: Quill 

Race: Human/Wraith

Skills: Bladed weapons, Archery, Stealth, Gatherer, Fletching

Equipment: (TBD)

Human racial abilities: Get a base 10% increase to XP gains and as humans are the most numerous race they get the most frequent persuasion options outside of shifters.

You know, if you wanted too, this guy could handle physical skills while Farulf handles the magic stuff. Maybe he could even do Magic, enchanting magic, chanting magic, rune magic, and increase magic. Then he'd have almost all of the magics and still be able to handle himself. 

@Emperor Stick

Also, can I keep Storm? Either as he is or restarting him entirely? He's been awesomely fun to play. 

Happy for people to have multiple characters if they think they can handle it. Means there'll probably be a couple of parties forming instead of just the one but that might work well.

And yeah fine with using Storm from a restart.

[ShadowLord_Lith]

Yay!
 

That mean's he's like this:

Spoiler

Name: Stormclove

Recipes:
You have learned how to craft the following:

Wooden arrow shafts: You can turn any type of wood into a stack of arrow shafts. You'll need feather them to use them with a bow.

You are a level 1 Centaur
The speed of a centaur is nothing to be sneezed at, you have nearly double the speed of most other races. Your body also has superior stamina in keeping with your races speed, enabling you to run swifter and for long than almost any species.

Unfortunately armorers are not well equipped to outfit a centaur, while you are capable of wearing most torso armours you are unable to equip any leg-armour unless it specifically is suited for centaurs.

You are Nature Aligned ( 3)
Your alignment causes creatures, beasts and Nature aligned characters to be less hostile to you. Human aligned characters are slightly wary of you.

Right? 

Also, is there a class system in this?

[Voidus]

Just for everyone else don't fret too much about the numbers, if anyone ever wants to do a status check I can provide them but we're going for something a bit more freeform now so specifics like that are going to be less relevant.

No class system but guilds are close.

And just a quick terminology reminder:
Guild - In-game organization of Players and NPCs, usually themed around a profession. (Mages, Knights, Assassins, etc.)
Clan - Player-run large organization of Player Characters.
Party - Small gathering of Player Characters who share experience and generally quest together.

[ShadowLord_Lith]

Yes! Alright... none of my guys fit a guild. This is gonna be fun! 

[+Sorana]

So here is Tess, 2nd draft. I left the stats aside, but I can add them if neccessary.

Spoiler

Name: Contessa Riviera
Physical Characteristics: see picture
Age: 276 (18)
Skills: Magic, Enchantment Magic, Thrown, Swimming, Increase Magic
Equipment: none
Weakness: scared of fire
Character: erratic, curious, changes a lot depending on the weather and the overall mood, coward
Backstory: When Tess first started the game, she decided to play an elemental, because they sounded cool. Now that she is one, she finds herself more and more getting dragged into the character she created and has trouble to keep to her human morals and ideas.
Her out of game parents and sisters probably miss her already, although she has no way to check this. Her father always told her, that her gaming will be her doom one day, and right it seems as if he was right.
Fighting Style: run and hide, fight only as a last resort

I know the woman in the picture is wearing an armor. I don't need to have one (and especially nothing made out of metal), but I liked the picture.

Is there a list somewhere regarding the spells and all that?

Edit: Did I forget anything?

I don't think so... I believe he'll either tell us the spells, or let us slowly work them out within rational limits.

Exorcised the grammarly demons

[Lunar Blessing]

Stick! What did you do! (Spoiled for length)

Spoiler

 

[overlord stick]

It's from Grammarly. Voidus is familiar with it. I can't edit it to fix it either.

Edited May 22, 2019 by Emperor Stick

[Lunar Blessing]

I use grammarly and that’s never happened to me...

[overlord stick]

Weird... Whenever I turn off Grammarly it stops doing it.

I think I might make the basic level spells public this time yeah, first time around I kept specifics hidden so people would have to discover what skills did but given that I'm hoping for mor player-driven world building and mechanics this time I'll make the starting points more easily available.

But first up is sleeping time because I'm going to need to hunt around for those spell lists

[The Young Pyromancer]

Yeah.  I'll probably still follow the previous progression, if that's allowed, since I work best either completely freeform or in an already established system.

Plus, that way I can be a munchkin!

Ooh yes, the glorious one.

I liked the old too, but I like this too. I think I'll base my characters leveling on number of enemies slain and number if quests completed. Then he'll have to complete a certain number of both before I'll let him level. Fewer quests than enemies, I think.

How's that sound?

Also,  @Emperor Stick, cool guy! He can make epic weapons and I'll slay the enemies en-masse!

[+Sorana]

I could offer some support.

That would be cool. I could put my extra point into smithing instead of double increased magic, so I can make magical weapons and armor!

[ShadowLord_Lith]

If that's the way you wanna go, then go ahead. It'll be awesome either way- plus leveling up naturally is more efficient apparently.

 

Also! @Sherlock Holmes I wanna see your character!

I have nothing against people being a pre-existing party if they want to.
