What the heck is a [your class here], anyway?
I've come across a few members, myself included, who define themselves as something not within general acceptance. This, of course, leads to the question of just what the heck it means.
So, what this thread is for is: - Asking members just what the heck their classes entail. - Volunteering what one's class entails. So, I'll start, I guess. Blue Psychic: Similar to the famed Blue Mage class, a Blue Psychic has no spells of his or her own. They must be learned through direct experience, i.e. being hit by them. However, a Blue Psychic is distinct in that the transfer is a bit shaky, with deviations from Blue Magic including: - Any given effect will be totally absorbed once and only once, allowing certain survival of the first hit. - A given spell may or may not be learned, even when absorbed. - When hit by a spell effect, a related, but not identical spell, may be learned as a result in a "vaccine effect." - Spells may also be learned via natural occurrences, items, conventional teaching, or other forms of "inspiration." - Being Psychic-class means they often have innate abilities within or outside of other magical classes, costing appropriate amounts of energy, but no components. Blue Psychics are marked by the strong wills required to forcibly bend reality without ritual and very poor luck. Their intelligence tends to be high, while their charisma is often low, leading to being ignored, even when right, similar to Cassandra from Greek myth. They also have decent physical statistics to compensate their lack of spells but tend towards diminished physical and magical defense in compensation. HP is above par for mages, while MP is generally on par. All stats are subject to variation, depending on the Blue Psychic's individual power, natural physical ability, and training. Equipment generally includes light clothing and any weapon of the Staff, Sword, Rod, Spear, or Thrown variety. Have at it!
