maybe still give them a basic, but weaker magic attack, to make up for them not needing weapons?

Hm. Posting to watch.

I can theoretically make a sheet without knowing shit about any of the previous games, right?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Felicienne Mallory
Description: At 6'1", Felicienne is incredibly tall for her age. She has long, brown hair and blue eyes that seem a little... unfocused, at times. She wears a metallic gray pair of glasses, with numbers etched in where the brand would usually be. If one bothers to take a closer look, they'd see those numbers to be '5 13 4'. She has pale skin, marred by a few scars around the knuckles, one at the right knee and one just underneath her left ear. She has an otherwise somewhat unremarkable face, with thin lips and a slightly pointy nose. She is otherwise a bit on the thin side, and possesses a pair of long legs.
She wears thin black coat with a surprising amount of pockets, a blue blouse underneath that and jeans, along with pink-and-white trainers.

Felicienne is rather soft-spoken, very rarely raising her voice. Very rarely, people may have to strain themselves just a little bit to hear what she has to say, though this is a habit she has mostly gotten over by now. She is fairly confident, if not quite outgoing, and likes making friends with other people. She's always willing to give a helping hand, though whether she decides someone needs help and whether someone else thinks they need help can be two entirely different things. Not always, but it happens. Sometimes, in her opinion, a little nudge in one direction or other is all that's needed to help. Of course, other times a hands-on approach is necessary. She is allergic to most forms of pollen, which usually reduces her to a sneezing wreck. She's also a relentless optimist, so things that go against that can and do affect her, even more so than other people.

Backstory: Born to a French mother and an English father in Paris, Felicienne lived a fairly good life. A well-off family, a tightly-knit circle of friends, really, what more could one ask for? It was pretty much all she wanted. She could do without some of the discrimination that having an English father brought her, but even that was minimal. She could roll with what few punches life decided to throw at her, easy. And things always seemed to turn out so suspiciously well for her, so she figured there had to be SOMETHING. After all, nobody's life was perfect, right?
And then the Northsdale Five disappeared. They were never something she paid much attention to, but even she was worried. They were strong, and if they disappeared, just like that... Not long after, she was forced to flee with her family when the whole country went to shit. The chaos began spreading, and with it France slowly but surely was corrupted. Along the way, Felicienne was separated from both her mother and father. She made it to the border with nothing but the clothes on her back and some trinkets and, from there, Camp Cinder, eventually. She still does not know what it was that happened to her family, but she's resolved to find out. For the past month or so, however, she's been recovering from the trip and practicing with her power.

Stats: Are you good at this, bad at that? Well-rounded? Allocate 30 points. Average for a human is 3 each, but you guys aren't average farmers.
HP - 32/32
MP - 18/18
STR - 4
DEX - 3
AGIL - 6
INT - 9
WILL - 8

Abilities: Felicienne manipulates luck or, more accurately, the probability of things happening. She can view and, to an extent, change the probability of things happening within her field of view at her leisure, but so much as viewing something like, say 'how likely is it the Northsdale Five survived' gives unclear results at best and takes a lot out of her.

Feeling lucky today?(Free)(Passive): At the start of every turn, roll a 1d3. If it lands on 3, all party members receive a +WILL/4(2) bonus to hit rate, dodge rate and weapon rolls for the rest of the turn.
Shift the chances around a bit...(Level 3)(Active): Felicienne boosts a target's chance of succeeding at something, giving them a boost of up to +(Skill Level) for WILL/4(2) turns. Mana cost is equal to boost given. Does not stack with itself, applying a higher boost cancels out the previous one though turn cooldown is reset.
7 years of bad luck? I suppose...(Level 2)(Active): Felicienne decreases a target's chance of succeeding at something, giving them a malus of up to -(Skill Level)(3) for WILL/4(2) turns. Mana cost is equal to malus given.
Not happening, sorry.(Level 2)(Passive): Felicienne increases her chances of dodging, improving her dodge rate by (Skill Level*2)(4).
Are the odds on my side, or yours?(Level 2)(Active): Felicienne can use her power to also merely observe and bring up various probabilities. Using this to observe a probability within her line of sight(ie. how likely is this person in front of me to be lying about X) cost (Skill Level) mana, but probabilities outside of her perception (ie. are my parents still alive) cost (Skill Level x 5) mana.

Inventory
Kitchen Knife: A kitchen knife Felicienne picked up along the way to defend herself.
Cetriz Tablets: A pack of anti-allergy pills. Still contains 20 pills.
Notepad, Pen and Pencil: A notepad, pen and pencil Felicienne brought with her.
Octagonal Locket: A simple locket made of metal. Usually kept in one of the pockets, it contains images of her parents along with several small, scrunched up pieces of paper with numbers on them.

Oh, btw, finished the sheet. Tell me what needs balancing, fixing etc.

And, uh, do we get a basic attack?

So, does anyone have any ideas for a character that I could use? I could try Tori for a third time but she doesn't fit this setting, and I'm not sure I want to use my character from v3.

...Didn't the universe get blown up in the previous continuity or something? Tentatively reserving a slot, but yeah.

Also, technically this is RotMG5, but uh, we don't talk about 4.

Name: Sorasa Hibiki/SORASA
Description: A half-Japanese boy, aged 16, whose mother was French. His features lean toward his European heritage, with somewhat pale skin and a head of dark brown hair, kept short except for the back, which he keeps in a ponytail. He is of slightly below average height, with a wiry build that's muscular without being bulky. The only thing that appears supernatural about him is his eyes, which are tinted a bright shade of violet; he usually waves this off as some sort of rare, but harmless, genetic condition. He prefers simple, versatile clothes, dressing in a white t-shirt and jeans, usually with a blue jacket if he can find one. Looking at him with the ability to perceive the supernatural would reveal something decidedly more interesting, however; it would appear that he had two souls, and that they shared a powerful magical aura.

Personality-wise, he's fairly easygoing and somewhat lazy, preferring sleep over getting anything productive done much of the time, though he does simultaneously have a certain thirst for novelty in his life. He's loyal to a fault, though, and won't hesitate to help someone in need. He tends to be somewhat naive and toward holding grudges, however, and isn't the best leader of people.
Backstory: Hibiki's life story up until all of this supernatural chaos business was fairly normal. His father was a traveling businessman who met a foreign woman and eventually this resulted in Hibiki, who lived a normal life until all hell broke loose.

The world has a self-defense mechanism, activated only in emergencies that threaten its very existence. It attempts to summon the spirits of heroes, past and future, to protect itself. However, perhaps due to the sudden grave injuries being dealt to it and its population, something went wrong. The spirit that was supposed to be called to protect France, rather than being summoned in its own body and possessing the armaments it was intended to, was shunted into the nearest appropriate container, shedding much of its power in the process. That container was Hibiki.

The boy made it out of the ruination alone thanks to this odd sort of possession, his parents having perished in the chaos, and drug himself to Camp Cinder. The rest of his story, well, it's yet to be told.
Stats: Are you good at this, bad at that? Well-rounded? Allocate 30 points. Average for a human is 3 each, but you guys aren't average farmers.
Health: 32
MP: 10
STR - 6
DEX - 8
AGIL - 6
INT - 5
WILL - 5

Abilities: Clearly there is something supernatural about you; what is it? Enhanced strength or agility? Pyromancy? Be creative. These are similar to spells in a way, and you have spellpoints equal to your INT to spend. One spell point may be put in an ability to be level one, or you could spend two points to have an ability be level 2, or three for level three. Essentially, a point may be used to give an ability a level. If you have 6 INT, you can have 6 lvl-1 abilities, or say 5 lvl-1 abilities and 1 lvl-2 ability. More on this in the stat section. In addition, everyone gets a free passive ability no matter their INT, whether it be a passive AoE effect or a stat boost or a proc'd effect. These abilities can be passive or casted.

Primal Rune: Strength: Draws a glowing arcane symbol on the target or himself. Boosts the target's next roll by WILL/2.
Primal Rune: Fire: Draws a glowing arcane symbol on the target or in midair. Deals 1d6+WILL fire damage, and an additional 1d6 in melee range.
-SORASA: 50% chance to ignite the target, dealing 2 damage per turn for 1dWILL turns.
Sword of Recompense: (Passive, level 1): Hibiki gains Counter stacks per turn, equal to his current DEX. When he reaches 20, he gains an automatic counterattack against the next opponent to hit him with a melee attack. He also starts each combat with one counterattack prepared. Multiple counterattacks can be built up in this manner, given they aren't used up.
-SORASA: Counterattacks are preemptive. DEX is considered 2 points higher for the purposes of gaining counterattacks.
Protection From Arrows (Passive, level 1): Hibiki gains a +3 bonus to dodging ranged attacks.
SORASA (Level 1): The spirit inhabiting Hibiki manifests itself, boosting all of Hibiki's abilities. (Bonus is equal to twice the skill level if there is no specific enhancement mentioned.) This has a GM-mandated cooldown, but currently can be done roughly once a week, and for about ten minutes at a time at most, without beginning to harm Hibiki.
Twinned Soul (Passive): Hibiki rolls twice, instead of once, to defend against all mental or anti-magical effects.

Inventory: His clothing and a backpack containing a change of clothes and a couple day's worth of food and water. A long, whittled stick with a survival knife notched into and tied onto the end for a weapon.

Sheet, or at least the first draft, is done. PMing the other details I wanted to mention to you now.


@USEC: Touhou character who has the power to manipulate boundaries. SHe's just as overpowered as she sounds, to which I quote:

Quote from: Perfect Memento in Strict Sense

...Among the abilities youkai are known to possess, this is one of the most dangerous, being comparable even to the power of gods... In any case, there is neither any sort of defense against nor weak point in the ability to manipulate boundaries.

Can we please try to keep calm and not get salty while the character is still being made.

;-;
sori

Also, I changed the calculations on Alistair's Hope-based abilities. Gah. I'm bad at balancing shit. ;-;

WIP. I only have my abilities to do, but I'm going on a 5 day trip as of right now. Rip.

Spoiler: Bringing Back the Fire! (click to show/hide)

Name: Dr. Annabelle W. Holbech
Age: 22
Description: I'm lazy, so... Picture!
Backstory: Annabelle came from another dimension known as Albion, only occupied by a single floating city with a steampunk vibe to it. Dr. Holbech managed to perform dimension to dimension travel for the first time. She happened to crash her airship into the Northsdale 5's castle. Ever since then, she's been accustoming herself to the world. As to why or how she got to Camp Cinder, she was in France doing work for the UN, as a representative for Albion, at the time of the chaos started. She quickly fled, and is now helping the fight, holding on to some hope that her friends of Northsdale are still alive.
Stats: Are you good at this, bad at that? Well-rounded? Allocate 30 points. Average for a human is 3 each, but you guys aren't average farmers.
STR - 7.
DEX - 8
AGIL - 5
INT - 7
WILL - 3

Abilities: Annabelle holds the ability to manipulate heat in all things. While she can't outright kill something living immediately, she can do it over time by overheating them, or making a lack of heat inside them.

Let Experience Take The Reins (Passive)-
  Lv.1: All negative effects for dual wielding, while Annabelle is using the Flaming Tongues, are negated.

Overheat-
  Lv1:

Inventory:
  Flaming Tongues- Annabelle's two trusty, engraved magnums using .357 caliber bullets. The barrels were enchanted to dish out extra burn damage with the bullets fired from them.

  Harold's Medallion- Nothing but a bronze trinket, with a mysterious locked compartment in it.

I don't really get what you mean by 'other magic'.  Like, what magic would Anders be using to begin with?  Because he's using SOME magic apparently.

Whatever the outcome, my other points still remain. If he's supernaturally smart, he can't really just magically infuse something with fire or something.

But the point is, he's using super smartness and wizard skills to figure out how to do stuff like infuse things with fire.

How does this sound?
Using Anders' passive to allow him to reverse-engineer magic (and apply it to items?):

Level 20 Analysis:Anders reverse-engineers one spell cast up to two turns ago.  He can either immediately re-cast it, at 1 level less than its original power, or, after the end of the battle, add it to his Known Spells List.

The Known Spells List: Anders' phenomenal intellect allows him to, while out of combat, look through all the magic he has studied and select some of it to prepare for the next battle.  He can prepare up to [INT](20) levels' worth of spells with a downtime of 30 minutes in which no strenuous intellectual activity occurs (i.e. talking is okay, cryptography not so much).  He may alternatively swap out [level] worth of spells in [2*level] minutes to a maximum of five levels, even while in combat.
The casting stat for all Known Spells List spells is INT, regardless of what it was previously.

Also, so that he doesn't just make a level-20 spell and cast it twice to omnimurderdoom everything, I have an idea that if the spell is higher level than his WIL, he needs an extra turn per some fraction of levels.
