Welcome to Gaia! ::

He carries a wakizashi, but a tanto fits what your describing better.

Arc's father was a seraph, from his father he inherited a spark of divine magic as he grew and trained it became a well. From that well he can invoke magic using intonations. Normally one word of japanese but more depending on the complexity of the ability.

Right now he has three primary abilities which are derived from his heritage.

Auric Slash, which rips through magic but only does minor physical damage.

Judgement Slash, Which if it strikes successfully weighs the sins of a character, which means the steps they have taken away from lawful good. The further you are from lawful good, the more damage it could do potentially.

Finally his last core skill is sanctified strike, which wraps his blade in angelic light which is especially harmful to beings with weaknesses to divine magic.

From these three skills his two special skills are generated.

Which leaves him with three combat oriented arcane spells, lightning, which can inflict stun and can charge for up to three rounds or be used at its lowest level three times in one casting, uncontrolled fire a burst of five foot radius, and controlled fire, a charge spell which can build up to a very impressive three rounds.

This magic ebbs and flows with each spell having a charge time, a cool down time, or both. The magic spends angelic magic which wearies his soul the system was rushed and could use a ton of work but its what i had when i realized i needed a tourny character for this.

Depends on the weapons layout i choose.

I am thinking about incorporating some truer kenjutsu into the new kit, allowing for nito jutsu.

Building his magic off of the energy imbued into the movement of combat exchanges and maneuvers. Taking and building a list of arcane and martial maneuvers which are derivative of the sword sage from the book of nine swords.

Well best of luck to you on your efforts. The Nine Swords book has some fun stuff in it, just as a personal thing make sure you tweak it to work for free form versus what most do and just copy stuff over directly. Makes it easier to use and stays clear to those who lack 3.X knowledge.

Also I miss walking to work every morning. Two miles uphill both ways was better than any cup of coffee for waking me up. I should get a morning routine in place seeing as I want to start getting back into being healthy. I really slipped this past year on that sad

I actually lost weight over the past few months, but really I just have a small pudge to work on.

Still wanna get back to being active at more than just work.

Going to the gym in the morning is really fun for me. The only problem is that there's still a few hours between when I finish and when I want to break my fast, so I lose all that energy I had and get super sleepy in the middle of work.

Losing your gut is 90% diet. Eat less, that simple. cool

Things I learned last night:

Heita believes that because the majority of people in the world are Christians that Christianity must be right.

Legion, when showed that the relationship he was trying to make doesn't work, will lose his spine and back down as it all of a sudden "doesn't matter" to him.

But just to refresh him on what I'm talking about. Presentation and credibility are not related to if the information provided is correct. Do they matter if you want people to listen to you? Yes. But they don't change the validity of the information at all.

There is no such thing as absolutely correct information.

More to the point, irrelevant of whether the information is correct, your presentation can detract from its credibility.

Truth is not always believed especially when presented poorly. As such presentation detracts from credibility, marring and obscuring the truth in the process.

Two thousand years ago, with no proof, and no way of making someone imagine it, had you told an englishman the world was round, he would have laughed you out of the room you were standing in. What you presented is basically a fact, your presentation lacking modern tools, would make that fact less credible in the eyes of your audience.

Then... Silence.

Everybody left. sad
