  What do you expect from RP's?
  A memorable story-telling experience made with the glorious collaboration with my fellow writers.
  
  What do you expect from THIS RP?
  A good player-player environment, an intriguing plot, and a whole lot of fun.
  
  What kind of Experience do you have in RPing?
  I consider myself as a veteran roleplayer, only in the fantasy genre though, but not that well-versed in the vast field of RP-ing.
  
  What genres of RP do you like?
  Mostly fantasy. I have recently developed great interest in the sci-fi genre, as I am also trying to get a grasp on the other genres such as fandom, realistic, etc.
  
  What times are you available?
  This depends on my schedule, which is irregularly altered. However, I am usually able to log in and do site activities once a day.
  
  How long on average are you on?
  On days where I decide to do nothing all day, I am online all day. On days where I decide that it is time to lose some more LP, I am online all day, but I'm pretty much AFK. On other regular days, possibly 3-7 hours.
  
  How many posts a week do you think you can make?
  Most likely a post a day, if I'm feeling good. However, if I am pissed off about being a tilted high elo player, then probably 2-3 posts a week.
  
  Are you willing to contribute in World building? If so, in what way?
  Yes, you may not notice it, but I am also in the process of developing a similar RP-verse. So, pretty much every aspect of world building, I can do - lore, beastiary, setting, pantheons and some more of that good shit.
  
  Would you be willing to play a role already setup?
  Depends greatly whether I have a desire to explore the said role, or it intrigues me greatly.
  
  Would you be willing to play an Antagonist?
  Of course. Remember - It is always easy and fun to be evil; being the good guy is a pain in the ass.
  
  Would you be willing to GM certain events?
  Depends on the event. It if gains my interest, then yes.

  Birth Place: Windemere, Maxwell
  Date of Birth: 4 Conifera, 974 CYAD
  Nationality: Northerner
  
  Personality: Grifyn may seem to be quite the carefree person at first glance due to his reckless actions, but he is the type of person you'd want to have in any sort of adventure you'll be going through. He acts appropriately based on the situation - if the atmosphere needs to be lightened up, he will do so. However, there are certain times when emotions will overcome him, and that is when one'd would need to take caution. Grifyn might be good at suppressing these bottled-up feelings, but once they are lose, gods help him. More or less, he is both an asset and a liability to any group he'd belong to.
  
  Positive Traits: Strategic - Grifyn usually has a plan for every situation. If not, he most likely will come up with one on the go.
  Resolute - Grifyn does not back down, nor give up, no matter what is blocking his path towards his goals.
  
  Negative Traits: Secretive - Grifyn keeps a lot of things secret from everyone he knows. He only trusts himself, after what he had gone through.
  Uncontrollable - As said earlier, he has very little to no control over his emotions once no longer suppressed.
  
  Weaknesses: His desire to know the truth behind his father and his secrets is too strong, that he can be easily influenced with the right approach. The way that he does things is his own ways will most likely cause conflict between him and his allies, also.
  
  History: Born in Windemere, Grifyn had quite simple life in his early years. He played with his friends, helped with the housework, studied well, and lived life accordingly. However, all that changed when his mother fell ill, causing his father to leave them frequently to gain money for her treatment. Long story short, his father's honest and humble efforts were a bit lacking, and his mother passed away, leaving behind a number of debts to the two of them.
  
  They had to work very rigorously for years to get rid of these debts. And as soon as they almost returned to their good old life, Grifyn's father fell ill due to the strenuous work he had done. This time, however, his father specifically ordered Grifyn to live his life and not worry about his illness, for he had his time already in this world. Grifyn, being the good child that he was, did such.
  
  The final day of his father came. Grifyn felt relieved that his father's pains would finally go away, and he would, at last, go to a better place - where he would be reunited with Grifyn's mother. However, before his father passed away, a few words changed how he would have lived his life.
  
  "You are no mere commoner, my son.", Grifyn's father said, as he handed him an amulet, which had a tiny golden key sealed within it. "Claim your true destiny." His father, then, finally breathed his last.
  
  And as they have said - the end is merely another beginning.
  
  Grifyn's life as a common, hardworking Northerner had ended.
  He was now an adventurer.
  
  Seeking to claim his true destiny.
  
  Occupation: No permanent job; he takes whatever rewarding errand he desires.
  
  Life Skills: Basic survival skills such as cooking, hunting, gathering and creating firewood.
• 
  Clothing and Attire: Grifyn wears a white, silken sleeved tunic, with intricately designed jacket on top of it. He also has navy-blue trousers, and reinforced boots for his soles. Along with this are his reinforced gloves.
  
  Personal Items: Varelle Amulet - An amulet with a tiny golden key sealed within it. Grifyn's father, Ligern, passed it down to him as a memento.
• 
  Character Class: Generalist
  Description: Generalists are considered as backup for each of the four main classes. They do not focus on a single approach, rather, they pursue being able in all fields - be it fighting on their own or with others, supporting their allies or weakening their enemies, etc. If handled well, a Generalist can become a one-man army. This class is extremely versatile, as said earlier, however, they gain proficiency and mastery over a certain field with more difficulty and time as a cost. This, of course, affects their effectiveness at all times and situations.
  
  Elemental Affinity: Fire / Water / Earth
  Types of Artes: ATK / SEAL / FLD
  Base Stats: HP 4 / SE 15 / CCA: 3 / ATK: 1 / SEAL: 1 / FLD: 1
  
  Special Ability: Anti-Anomaly - Grifyn's great intrigue with his father's secrets have deemed him to be great in the field of detecting and identifying low to medium-scaled anomalies in speeches, atmosphere, environment, actions, etc. This makes him a good mediator between two parties, a negotiator, or an interrogator.

By the way, Shin Positron Laser , I made slight alterations to his look to make the pictures as uniform to his written appearance. I hope this is fine.
Also, if I am not able to think of a rework for the FLD artes Grif currently has, will it be possible to change locked artes to something else. Of course, they will still remain within the current limitations of the class and the character.

Side note: I've reworked Artes 2 and 4, both which are FLD ones.

And another matter - perhaps it would be best to have the character sheets sorted, or tagged with the plot line they belong to. For example, the characters of the Norhad Swords story would have their own tag/mark, and so will the characters of the Unification story.

Arte level 2
ETAFLD: We need to be more precise " Increasing effectiveness" can mean nothing or everything. If you are targeting Water elements, all artes using that element have their SE reduced by 1.

Arte level 4
ETAFLD: Here the SE requirements should be reduced by 2, not half.

For Arte 2, I meant is as adding +1 to all of their water-type artes, wherever it is moat applicable. For example, if one uses an ATK water arte, it gains +1 damage, if it's a DEF it increases the damage blocked by 1, if a SEAL/PNM/ENH increases duration by a turn.

As for Arte 4, I assume you're still content with the old area- restriction mechanic of this one? Or will that need to be removed?

Oh, and as I've asked, is it allowed to change non-purchased artes to be reverted into something else? 'Cause having 3 artes seem kinda rendundant now with the change in how they work.

The Arte 2 is too broad because different types would feel the increase differently.

Arte 4. The distance should simply follow the Range level you have, and just increase as you gain more.

Any changes made to artes need only be re-submitted for approval. If they are not approved by the time a battle commences, they simply cannot be used, regardless of it being unlocked or not.

Alright. Got it.

Do you have any alternatives for Arte 2? Having both ETAFLD artes that reduce SE seem kinda redundant. Perhaps a reduction for opposing artes types, earth and fire?

It is very limited, that's is why people should only have 1.

What about an increase in SE Enemy artes of a certain element? Say you are fighting enemies proficient in water. Make it so all enemy targets increase their SE usage of artes by 1 SE

That could do.

Shin Positron Laser , Arte 5 has been edited. For clarity purposes, it shoves any object and organism out of its harmful route toward the target.
