He was marked at birth by the deity Hephaestus he grew up in a small town and as his skills grew so did his urge to learn new techniques and to practice with new materials knowing that the only way to satisfy this was to travel to a larger city where he could make more money Aristobulous set out on a journey to Athens, it is in Athens that he learned of the fact that Hephaestus had marked him. Several years passed with him working in athens accumulating wealth and becoming renowned as a master blacksmith.

James also likes to tinker with things, taking things apart and putting them back together.

Description
Name: Marcus Reinard
Backstory: Marcus's father was a blacksmith, and his mother was a Nurse. At a young age he spent a lot of time with both of them, and when one day his mom was helping someone who had lost his leg and he suggested to his father to make him one, it was obvious where is skills would lie. Marcus since then has studied medicine, agriculture, and mechanical work, thinking that he could enhance people, and get things working for them.

Things seem to be moving along well, and we can probably start by as early as next week if all of the character submissions go in by then.

Note that there has been plenty of reworking to the system (along with more info) over the past couple days (including a planned overhaul of the Wisdom stat) so you may want to see if you want to rework some stats.

Also a big question that I want everyone's input on: How should this be handled? Here is my suggestion which is also on the top of the pad in case you want to leave your response there.

Posts will consists of full combat turns, community phases, and store phases as posted by the GM. Player posts can be side conversations not necessarily relevant to the current part of the RP. Everything with the system will be handled on-pad and then posted and removed to save space. This will allow people to easily pop in, throw in what they want to shoot and/or build and what they say, then leave without major time issues or thread clutter.

Also IC is approved, if I hadn't already told him that (bluh GM memory).

That method sounds good. It lets us look at what others are doing and see if we can get in on that action before it's set in stone.

((Way too delayed, here is the character we were talking about finally posted up on the forums.))

Adrielle (Will probably refine name a bit You don't like bubblina? it's interesting, but might be silly, something maybe more like Lyndis. I'm still deciding if I wanna call her bubbles :P)how about, Adria, Leeane or Lilith.

Description:
Apearance: Short flowing hazel hair, opal eyes, thin figure, .
Race: Human (Dragonblooded and Devil-Branded)
Weapon: Gloves that bend space and are her main 'weapon'. (Perhaps hyperspace hammer for close range if I'm feeling silly).

Backstory: Adrielle was forcefully branded by a demon at a young age and into servitude for the potential that she had both in life and after. Despite the numerous advantages that being a branded granted her on top of her natural talents, she hated it all and wanted a way to have freedom from the constant surveillance. After many adventures and hijinks, she found herself captured and sentenced to Adrielle for her many crimes. Expecting to be soul bound into hell after doing the bidding, Adrielle was pleasantly surprised to find herself awakening not inside a soul gem but instead in this fascinating new plane. And also without any kind of branding or mental intrusion to speak of!

Being warped in here was more of a awesome way out of all of that mess rather than a thing that she'd want to go back to, although being able to traverse worlds coherently would be fascinting to say the least...

Currently approved. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of attention was lost when the Landry (re?)sign-up thread was made shortly after this. Hopefully I can finalize enough of the system to get it started, and hopefully start by Friday.

*Shakes fist* I will get my revenge, Teal Mage!

[Aldurin]

Wisdom stat has been overhauled so that it's main purpose is to affect how many profession revelations you can have at each tier. Go ahead and change your stat distribution if you feel that's changes the dynamic of your character build drastically.

System is in the final stage needed to start up this RP, so I'll get to work on the opening while I wait for last-minute signups.

So it begins . . .

And here is the new discussion thread since the interest part is technically over.
