@Duality Since stuff is being compiled, do I need to make any adjustments to my timeline of Salem-verse events?

Oh, I don't know if you've watched Beastars on Netflix yet, but I'd definitely look into that for the anthro races we had in the game (who's name escapes me at the moment). Absolutely fantastic first season, plus that music! 

Funny, I was gonna mention Cat's Don't Dance for potential pelijae/human interactions.

So I'm deciding to go with a New character, and I'm going to randomly generate them here and now. First I'm going to use Dungeons and Dragons to help divine out what they'll be good and poor at. I've decided to roll 6d20s one time, and take the results no matter how they turn out straight down the line.

 

20 is peak performance that a person could possibly have, 1 is basically utterly disabled in that area 

strength: 5
Dexterity: 16
constitution: 9

So physically someone who is very weak, but they are remarkably fast and agile, and only a little under average as far as constitution goes. I'm reading that as something small and quick. 

Intelligence:5

Wisdom: 16

Charisma: 16

Now this is interesting. 5 Intelligence in dungeon and dragons terms is a little smarter than a dog. It's also slightly less intelligent than a Skeleton summoned by a Necromancer. It's also said that at a 5 intelligence you communicate more through gestures than through language. Me thinks whatever this character is, It won't be a student per say. That said it is both surprisingly wise and quite charismatic.



I think we have ourselves a recipe for a Mascot character. Not so much a student as a magical creature that lives on campus as the schools pet. Would you be up for a Mascot like character on campus @Duality ? 

Sounds all right to me pending a bio, although I'm not sure how much flexibility 5 INT would allow for being someone's main character.

I'll repost it in the OP of the new OOC thread with all requisite tweaks made. I've already addressed the major aspects in this thread, so I'll just be doing things like changing 'mage x' to 'suspected mage x' in most cases and otherwise making sure everything lines up with all the other historical lore I've compiled and reviewed (if that's all right with you, of course). I've revised the first half of the intro to incorporate major stuff that the first iteration missed too, like the daemon realm incursion and details on how the mages revealed themselves to the world.

I don't know what the heck is happening but this post hasn't registered like my last 4 versions of this post. @Duality Think something like a PIkachu for characterization. It can't talk per say, but it's expressive and intuitive. Angel Bunny from the show would be another example of what I'd be going for with this kind of character. As for the stats, there is some wiggle room there because I have racial stats I'd still need to distribute. With those you get +2 to a primary stat and +1 to a secondary. If I need too I can make the character a little smarter.

That sounds pretty interesting - I don't think I've seen a non-D&D character devised using dice before. I'm looking to get the next Salem thread up and running by late tomorrow, so you should be able to post a bio then.

It helps breaks me out of creative ruts sometimes. I'm planning on using dice to completely create the character. 
 

For example, I know this character isn't going to be evil since they will be part of the campus, but where would they be on the alignment spectrum? Lets roll for it. 
1: Lawful Good
2: Neutral Good 
3: Chaotic Good
4: Lawful Neutral 
5: True Neutral 
6: Chaotic Neutral 

oooh! I rolled a big fat 6. This character will be Chaotic Neutral. 

maybe a mischievous individual?

I'm starting to get an idea of what it could be. I know a creature that is mischievous and has around the same intelligence rating as this character. 

A Mimic. I'm thinking some kind of cute mascot like Mimic that's a bit mischievous.

I hereby pronounce this thread obsolete.

Right then should I just bring my other character here? And just drop the whole agent thing and scarred?

Sounds good! You can even try a new character if you'd like.

I think I'll stick with Ghalan but drop the other two parts of him. But I'll just say that he's an extraordinary skilled fight/mage.
