Send in the Wizards [7/5?] On the Mortal shores
« on: August 18, 2016, 12:05:53 am »

Things are looking pretty sketchy in the Mortal Lands, Metnas. A Dark Power has been growing, festering, and it may already be too late to prevent its eventual rise into a humongous threat.

The Powers That Be have sent you, their elite agents, in response to the prayers of the vigilant. You possess abilities which, to the mortals, will make you Wizards, but even with these, a difficult task lies before you. You shall do all you can to subvert, hinder, and oppose this evil's own subversion of the world.

Who are you, oh chosen servants?




Wizard Profile:

Name: Your mighty Wizard Name. You may add titles if you wish, but that may be a bit presumptuous, and the mortals are sure to assign ones of their own...

Wizardly Focus: What is the specialty of your magical way? What parts of the world do you care for, take interest in, protect above others?

Description: What appearance do you present to the unassuming eyes of mortals? How do you carry yourself, how do you behave?

((He normally does ISG's.))
((He's also an artist and writer. :D))

Name: Akala

Wizardly Focus: Thought (summarized as the ability to influence, sense, and glean insight into thoughts, not the control of or the creation of thought). Akala is interested in the world by itself, and the continuation of the essence of life.

Description: Akala appears as a woman with dark hair and a light brown complexion, mature in her age and fully covered in a grey shroud or cloak, with a simple belt carrying a closed pouch by her side and a simple sickle in the other. Her behavior follows that of a nomadic behavior, carrying a sense of respect towards others she meets whether it be the natural environment or its inhabitants.

I'm back and more tired than ever.

Like for real I cannot muster any serious effort.

Name: Derm

Wizardly Focus:
Chance, Luck, Happenstance, and the chaotic patterns which follow them. What use is the world without risks? If all is nice and orderly, there are no stories to tell! No songs to sing!

Behold, my green robes.

I'll be picking in a bit, but first, some notes:

This kinda sounds like a mortal dude who happens to do magic. We're parodying the Istari talking more like minor divine beings sent into the world.

Wizard Profile:

Name: Daniel the Pyromancer

Wizardly Focus: Fire

Description: A tall, well-built man bedecked in full plate. A bright and powerful fiery glow is present in the small gaps of his armour, especially from the visor.

What does he care about in the world, though? Bear in mind the wizard's power isn't necessarily the same as what they stand for. It's more like the means to that end, though it's probably thematically related.

Name: Zara

Wizardly Focus: Necromancy. Death and Souls.

Description: An anorexic, almost fleshless man, with a long flowing beard and glowing green eyes. Zara carries himself with a certain arrogance, seeing it as the fault of incompetence of the people of the land that they must intercede.

Again, I'm not quite seeing the part of the world this wizard cares about/takes interest in/tries to protect. I could see some potential ones with this theme, but it needs to be more explicit.
