Grim Shippers
Co-OP: Hetland 2
The Grim Reaper Academy is a sprawling castle in the centre of Grim City, which is itself a sprawling city with architecture styles from seemingly every era, floating on the waters of Limbo, between the upperworld and the underworld, the lands of the living and of the dead. This is where the Grim Reapers live, and the Academy is where new Grim Reapers are lodged and trained for 10 years how to combat magic, exorcise evil spirits, and reap the souls of the dying.
Rules:
- I am the OP, and my word is law. Unless, of course, you can provide a good and reasonable argument against my word.
- The word of our esteemed Co-OP, Het, is also law, though less so than mine.
- No one-liners; preferably 5 lines per post.
- Follow the site's rules.
- No godmodding, metagaming, etc.
- Respect your fellow RPers.
- If you are leaving the RP, please notify me in the OOC or through TG.
- Have fun!

Powergrid
OK, so there are three age groups based on one's year in the Academy: Years 1-3, 4-6, and 7-10 (though, of course, none of us are in Year 10).
Basic Powergrid (INT, STR, DUR, SPD, FS)
1-3 can spend 14 points in the basic powergrid, 4-6 can spend 17 points, and 7-10 can spend 20 points. Teachers (not that they're all that relevant) can spend 22 points.
Magic Powergrid
OK, so this is where you determine how strong your magical abilities are. There will be 5 categories: Life Magic, Death Magic, Limbo Magic/Standard Reaper Abilities, Folk Magic, and Unique Ability. I don't expect anyone to have more than a 3 in Folk Magic, since only the basics are studied at the Academy. To use your unique life spell, you must have at least 3 in both Life and Unique; to use your unique death spell, you must have at least 3 in both Death and Unique.
1-3 can spend 13 points in the magic powergrid, 4-6 can spend 15 points, and 7-10 can spend 17 points. Teachers (not that they're all that relevant) can spend 20 points.
Weapons Proficiency Grid
1-3 can spend 10 points in the weapons proficiency grid, 4-6 can spend 18 points, and 7-10 can spend 25 points. Teachers (not that they're all that relevant) can spend 40 points.
Bonuses
OK, so you get bonuses based upon a number of factors. First of all, Student Council members get +1 point to spend anywhere they want. People who were shamans in life get +1 to spend on magic. Also, whenever you go into your death form, you get +1 in the Death Magic category. In the weapons powergrid, you get +1 on the weapon type that is your death weapon if you are in Years 1-5, and +2 if you are in Years 6-10. Additionally, if you have any points left over in any of the powergrids, you can apply them to another powergrid.
Credits: The basic powergrid is a modified form of Nightkill's and Lith's. The magic powergrid is a modified form of Nightkill's. The weapons powergrid is a modified form of Lith's.
