RPC Name: Luka Highwind RPC Rank: Novice RPC Bloodline: Human RPC Class: Weapon Master
RPC Subclass
Talent Name: Bonified Monster Hunter Talent Description: 1.) No weapon restrictions 2.) Up to eight custom weapons 3.) When utilizing the human skill Lose Yourself, Luka gains a minor perception bonus and more information about an enemy while in combat than the normal human Talent Weakness: Cannot master ranged weapons and cannot use wind spells (not wind skills) above C rank. How did the character get this talent?: Luka is a Human. He learns and adapts. Given his trade, if he could not, he would be dead already. For a hunter, you need to be able to approach any creature and take it on, whether on the ground, in the water, or in the air. Finding their weaknesses and exploiting them are crucial.
Talent Name: Pronta's Pride Talent Description: Aurelia is one monstrously powerful individual not because of her born ability or the legacy of her people, but actually because of her special in combat abilities. She functions as both knight and gunslinger at a cost to her in combat sustainability. However, even though she runs out of juice faster, the light that burns half as long burns twice as bright. Talent Weakness: She suffers a penalty of 200 to her total energy pool, and suffers a penalty 50 to your bullets as well. In addition she gains all weakness besides the weapon restrictions. However, her scattered focus takes away her ability to use anything but her guns, bladed weapons such as swords, shields, and one hand to hand style as opposed to what the knight class allows. Also can't have the 1.5 bullet bonus. How did the character get this talent?:Through hard work and determination, and a deep rooted hatred for her father, she developed a stark interest in things they didn't seem to care for, and that hatred alone was enough to give her the drive to learn the gunslinger skills.

How minor is this perception and what exactly are you learning?
The Hero of Ferelden
Should take a cut to ammo as well since you're half of those together.

About a half rank-ish? It just makes his Lose Yourself slightly superior to others.
RPC Subclass: None yet. On that note, ignore the ninja skills on the profile, those are from back when the old subclass system existed.
Talent Name: Innate Time Talent Description: Nai is far more attuned to time than a Tempus Inexstinctus is expected to be. She is not limited to the one skill granted by the bloodline, having the ability to create and use custom bloodline skills to more flexibly manipulate time. Additionally, upon reaching S-rank, her physical body will take on various passive attributes similar to time. Time is immovable: Nai is immune to any form of passive seduction. All seduction, mind-based, and pheromone-based active skills are not completely nullified but are reduced in power by one rank. Time is Impregnable: Attempts to access Nai’s thoughts and gain information from her energy are nullified so long as those attempts are made by someone of her rank or lower. Time is Immortal: Nai does not age. Aging spells, unless they are cast by herself, do not affect her. She also treats the time skills and abilities of others as 1 rank weaker. Talent Weakness: No element. Becoming a hybrid will require this talent to be replaced. How did the character get this talent?: Some people choose to focus on their racial abilities in exchange for sacrificing some of their prowess elsewhere. Nai is one of those people, but not intentionally. For two whole decades, Nai dabbled in none of the arcane or elemental arts, and as someone with as much personality as time, the powers of the Tempus Inexstinctus naturally came to affect Nai on a deeper level than it was intended to. In place of elemental magic, she gained a much more flexible grasp on time. In turn, a fuller grasp on time magic slowly started changing Nai’s body. The change has yet to complete, but once achieved, it confers onto Nai the various passive physical attributes detailed in the description.
Singultus cannot be killed except by destroying his Phylactery. Singultus' Phylactery can be made from any item, but must be listed in his inventory. Singultus' Phylactery can be changed, using a custom spell. Singultus can possess any body not currently hosting it's own soul, whether that body is alive or dead. This requires a custom spell. While possessing another's body, Singultus gains the physical stats of that body, including any racial traits not controlled by the soul. This does not include any learned skills or abilities the body possessed. Singultus can learn any custom or Necromancer spells without a teacher, so long as he is of sufficient rank to learn them normally. He is not penalized for learning these spells without a teacher. Singultus can feel and understand every sense his current body is able to utilize, but is not effected by negative sensations such as pain, nor can he enjoy positive sensations like pleasure as anything beyond an observer. If Singultus does die, his soul is released as a ghost, and he is forced to wander as such, intangible and invisible to all but those with the ability to see such things. In this state he is unable to interact with anything, despite being unable to pass through any solid object, or cast any spells. If however he is able to find a freshly vacated corpse of any species, he is able to possess it and begin anew. For every twenty posts in this state, Singultus loses the ability to cast one spell, beginning with his highest ranked spells and working down the list.
Talent Weakness: If Singultus' Phylactery is destroyed, he must transfer his soul to a new vessel within ten posts, or die. Singultus' Phylactery must remain within fifty feet of himself, or the separated portion of his soul will return to his current body. Singultus can return his soul to his current body at will at any time, but if his body receives or has already received a fatal blow while his entire soul is within it, he will immediately die. If the body Singultus is possessing is dead, it will begin to decompose, losing one point in it's physical stats every Twenty posts, to a minimum of 1/1. This can be reverted with the use of a custom jutsu, but will only work up to three times per body. After Fifty posts of decomposition, Singultus' energy regeneration halves, restoring only 5% per post outside of battle. His flesh will also begin to be obviously rotting away. After Seventy Five posts of decomposition Singultus' energy will only be restored during posts of complete inactivity. Any action taken in the post will nullify any regeneration for that post. Singultus' form is also nearly completely rotted away now, leaving only scraps of flesh on bone. After One Hundred posts of decomposition, Singultus can no longer restore energy on his own, relying instead upon skills and spells to steal it from others. His form has now completely degraded to that of a living skeleton. If the body Singultus is possessing is alive, he must treat it as such, taking the time to eat, drink, and care for himself regularly, or the body will die. When possessing a living body, Singultus can be effected by poisons and other things that affect living creatures.
How did the character get this talent?: Long ago, Singultus was a powerful necromancer. Having thoroughly studied the arts of death and soul magic, he could have been considered one of the foremost authorities in his field. As he began to grow old however, his own inevitable mortality began to grate upon him, and he began to seek the paths of immortality. Researching ancient and darker magics, he eventually discovered the secrets to transforming oneself into a true lich, the ability to split one's soul, storing it in an inanimate undying object to ensure it could not perish, and using the remaining portion to possess a mortal form. Creating his Phylactery, as those soul containers are called, Singultus performed the ritual to make himself immortal. Key components of the ritual were not covered by his texts however, and while the ritual did succeed, it also put him into a coma for several decades, during which his mortal body decomposed. By the time he awoke, and was able to attain a proper body again, his magic had been cleansed of the taint of his dark magics, forgetting the long honed reflexes with which he cast his spells, and necessitating that he relearn all that he once knew.

Hey welcome to the guild!
• The Phylactery can't be put in some other dimension or otherwise made nonexistent in this realm.
• The teaching reductions aren't super important at this point. Autolearns are handed out for posting daily and for doing missions. All you have to do is follow the limitations.
• The part wher he can't be affected by the emotions has to be taken out. Some people make that their entire talent because it makes them entirely resistant to some bloodlines/classes/spells that they rely on for their entire kit.
• Your death price should be higher. When the lich die they lose a rank, which would also come with spells that pass their limitations at a lower rank. One spell per twenty isn't much of a cost at all.

Are you overruling the "Singultus' Phylactery must remain within fifty feet of himself, or the separated portion of his soul will return to his current body. " with that first requirement? Because that kind of covers that if not. Also, there's alternate dimensions here?
The feeling thing isn't for emotions, it's physical senses. It's a case of because his body isn't really his own, he's able to understand the sensations, but isn't really feeling them himself, so isn't really affected by them. If something just outright targeted the emotions he'd (Unfortunately) be just as vulnerable as anyone, but if you just subjected him to physical torture or something he wouldn't be particularly effected by it. Basically he can understand his body's senses, knows what they're telling him, but he doesn't FEEL them, so can't be crippled by them.
When the not-lich die, they lose a rank, but they reform themselves elsewhere like something that is very much not a lich. Singultus doesn't do that. He's trapped as a ghost until he can actually find a freshly killed body, which would have to be an RPC or NPC killed by another player. That could happen immediately, or take him forever. And once he's actually found one there's no guarantee of how strong that body will actually be either. He can't make his body stronger by training or ranking up, he's stuck with what it already had until he moves out.
Besides that his new body has to be dead, thus immediately following into the decomposition effects already listed out. I could make adjustments governing what he can actually possess from this or any other state, but I'd rather not add more negatives to being stuck in that state than just the fact that he's useless and losing abilities. Twenty posts does seem like a lot, but it's not due to him reforming or however it's made sense of in the "Lich" bloodline, but rather his magic, due to being used to maintain his existence rather than being alive and casting spells regularly, is forgetting how to form the spells. He won't instantly regain them when he attains a body (Can't cast in ghost form even.), he has to manually relearn them later.
I could even include that he can't even use them as his autolearns and has to learn by posting requirement if you liked. I could also add a restriction on how far he can move or how fast. Possibly change it to losing spells over real time or have it assume I posted at least once a day if I ever just stopped posting. (Probably apply that one to decomposition as well.) There's actually a multitude of ways I'd prefer to do it over increasing the loss rate by post.

• No you can have it away from you, just in the same plane of existence. Also, yes there are a few people capable of generating another pocket dimension, just have to be sure.
• There are things that target emotions, moreso that they force you to feel something. So long as that isn't a flat out denial of those than this is alright. If not, like I said, there are talents based solely on defense to those particular things.
• Wait hold on, any NPC? So you could have someone kill you a berserker fairhair and get that body and that body's bonus? That's a little much, especially since you can spawn in your own NPC and trade up bodies should you get one that isn't favorable.
• Make the post time shorter then for the skill losing, not per post or anything but something more tangible. Say you picked nocturne as your nation, people kill NPCs by the dozen just for kicks so I'm sure you'd find a body fairly quickly there.

Alright. I figured having it on/near him at all times would be a requirement just because of how easy it'd be for him to just hide it away somehow and be nearly impossible for other players to kill. Probably should at least include that his Phylactery's location has to be public knowledge and just hope nobody metagames it though. =/
I would love to ignore forced emotions, but, like you said, that's a whole talent on it's own. =/
As I said, I could add some restrictions on what he can actually transfer into to reduce some of the more OP potential this build has. Maybe just that he can't possess a body of a higher rank than his own? And definitely keeping it to NPCs spawned for a proper battle, no silly "Oh I spawned this NPC so I could just immediately kill it to show how badass I am." situations. I abhore that entire practice in the first place, I refuse to use it to my own advantage. o.o
Fiiine... Used the twenty posts because of the potential of ending up stuck waiting for a body to appear, but i suppose it is a long time in practice, since he won't be doing much conversing with anyone that would stretch the post count. o.o
I'll edit it up in awhile. Got a few other things I'm working on at the moment.

There are plenty of things that can sense magic and nuke an area, so I'm sure it'll still be simple enough to kill you once it came down to actually killing you. Once it's all edited you're good to go!
Talent Name: True Dragons Blood Talent Description: being the offspring of an actual dragon and a Draconian. They were always different, the can willingly change from a human form and a more draconic one. This can be changed once a post not human to dragon then human again in the same post. In the draconic form has few benefits, one is their scales are more prominent and two that this form sports claws so no need to use energy on growing claws. Their scales are stronger than other draconians. Because they have more prominent scales the sandpaper scales defensive skill lasts two more posts. Novice- Iron Adept/Expert- Steel Master- High Grade Steel Sage- Diamond - underbelly at master is covered in iron rank scales Talent Weakness: This form has a very radical change. As a humanoid they have NO traits of the Draconian. No bloodline skills may be used. They also have one rank lower in strength but gain a rank of speed due to the lack of "heavy" scales. Can only assume the form once a post but must wait till the next post to use any skills. But even in this form they have a soft underbelly. And because they have more bigger scales, Razor Scale Barrage side effect of regrowing them takes two more posts How did the character get this talent?: in description.

Talent Name: Embodiment of Light Talent Description: True to her faith, linage and race, Adiel has complete devotion to Solonor. Ironic to her shadowy training and what not, she delves into the holy power of her faith and becomes a literal instrument of it. Her physiology can become an ethereal form of holy light as a mass of raw energy, able to move in straight lines at her normal speed. Such a change is almost instantaneous but has a moment before it can truly take effect. Her eyes glow during the transition and radiate out to the rest of her body, turning into a gold mass and a nimbus of energy. She's able to phase through non-energy infused attacks and move with a freedom similar to perfected flight. It is noted while she is immune to a physical attack, she is still hit by magical blows and energy attacks. The holy form when coming into contact with the environment or a foe (as she will literally pass through them) will deal a burning akin to a D Rank, C Rank if the foe is weak against Holy Light. Talent Weakness: How did the character get this talent?:

He is not penalized for learning these spells without a teacher. Singultus can feel and understand every sense his current body is able to utilize, but is not effected by negative sensations such as pain, nor can he enjoy positive sensations like pleasure as anything beyond an observer. Unfortunately this has no effect on non-physical aspects. If Singultus does die, his soul is released as a ghost, and he is forced to wander as such, intangible and invisible to all but those with the ability to see such things. In this state he is unable to interact with anything, despite being unable to pass through any solid object, or cast any spells not designed for use in this state. If however he is able to find a freshly vacated corpse of any species, he is able to possess it and begin anew. For every ten posts in this state, Singultus loses the ability to cast one spell, beginning with his highest ranked spells and working down the list.

Singultus cannot possess bodies of higher rank than himself. Furthermore, he cannot increase any of his physical stats by training or gaining rank. Only his Energy Pool is effected by changing rank. Singultus cannot possess personally operated NPCs used by himself or others. Only combat or Crew run NPCs are valid targets. Singultus can return his soul to his current body at will at any time, but if his body receives or has already received a fatal blow while his entire soul is within it, he will immediately die.

I think I covered all discussed points. Sorry about not getting it edited sooner, I kinda lost interest for awhile since the guild seemed to be dying, along with the other guild I was in at the time.
