Ability 2 and Points Spent: Doctoring (2 Points)
Though she studied nursing, I don't see "premed" listed. Perhaps "nursing" with 2 points would work better here.
A 1 is extremely low. Quotes from the scale, "1 – Whoopty Doo. Magic: We're not impressed. Maybe you have a better sense of smell, or can heal a zit if you focus hard enough. You might be able to set things on fire with a lot of effort but, honesty, it would be quicker to use matches. Your power sucks hind tit."
There are ways to tweak this to make it work, but I'll be offline the rest of the evening. Do you mind waiting a day or two?
The only other issue is her nursing and fine arts degrees. If she started her career in the entertainment industry at 14, and then entered the idol group at 16, performing for six years at the highest level, she would not have had time to pursue a degree in nursing or fine arts. Education for public health nurses and midwives (not the same as a registered nurse) is provided one-year colleges or training schools but her education and duties would be civil rather than medical if this is the route she took. You've also listed "trained housekeeper" under her background but not as a skill. When did she have time for training for this profession, and how much would her agents be willing to risk should her hands become damaged by chemicals or cleaning?

Thanks for the feedback, will be editing accordingly. Basically I see her as more of a 'support' (game terms), and am thinking of how to scale her abilities accordingly.
Will cancel the medical route, as I saw the Fine Arts as a part-time degree taken over a period of 4-5 years. Changed to basic housekeeping to reflect the real person's desire to become a housewife/nurse if she hasn't entered the entertainment industry. Little snippets of sweeping, mopping and cleaning when she has yet to enter the industry.
EDIT - And yeah dont mind waiting! Can hear your idea on how to work on her supernatural abilities, altho I am considering compressing them from specialized abilities into a more general term, instead of going D&D Bard haha
I wear teal, blue & pink for Swith
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

I was thinking along those lines. Her Magical ability is the voice/movement aspect. The book contains the spells. x amount are for healing, x amount are for encouraging, and so on. The songs don't add to her power. They're a necessary element to activate her power.
Bubble tea. How is that game-related? Join us in a PL meeting to find out. http://w11.zetaboards.com/The_Apartment_Block/pages/tab_irc/, channel is #TAB.

Debris, Fvaar, specificity to debris is like picking at sand to know which grain is colored Work from each other in the given details. If that is insufficient, vague terminology to denote debris is good enough. (For all) Swith's posts made it pretty obvious, but to make it simple to work off of:
"The large hole that was the ceiling on 7E was now the new furnishings of 7E. Debris, burnt materiel, pebbles the size of toasters and a thick layer of dust and smoke blanketed the apartment. Some of that debris had likewise spilled forth into the hallway, creating a mess and blocking the entrance; damage to the adjacent apartments were visible, though it wasn't obvious if anyone was still inside. There was heat radiating from the floor above 7E even as the fire suppression system was activated."

The thing is, some kinds of debris might be easier to move and safer to move around. If someone perceived the ceiling/floor of at least the hallway as metal/glass, potential trouble. If someone perceived it as bubble wrap, or for that matter thatch...
Additionally, Astra's floor was bare and woody. Should we be spotting planks of wood in the rubble, or wood ash? I realize that composition of small pieces is pretty irrelevant, but we've mentioned larger ones - trapping/breaking Kale's leg, for instance.
Likewise, it's possible that Enali's cot is now in 7F.

Remember, someone who perceived the elevator ceiling as closer gave the other a boost with Deuce and Insidious in there? Not to mention that more detail is good for picturing the scene; if character expectations affect how it's perceived, Nick may perch on a mortared brick fragment that someone else sees as plaster. Rmwtyliin might spot glass tiles in clay dust.
Do we want to get bogged down with detail? Nah. Could it be nice to incorporate a bit? Yep!

Fvaarniimar wrote:Figured. While that works here imo, describing Otonako's feelings (maybe she's scared, maybe annoyed at the whole stupid situation and just wanting to go home) could provide material to extend a post.
You might try putting yourself in her shoes - not exactly focusing on what specifically you would feel or think in that exact situation because Otonako isn't you, but what kinds of things might you feel/thoughts might you think if helpless and stuck not moving or doing much in a high-stress situation? Is there something Otonako might do to calm down? I'm not even as into music as she is, but I'd probably be humming something almost reflexively and playing with my hands.
@Min: Kind of hence why I'm asking. If the rubble is entirely set by Astra and Elka's preferences/expectations, the nature of it might actually be set. I'd personally expect some wood/ash from 8E's floor, some plaster/paint from Elka's ceiling, and whatever material a character perceives for walls/expects for ceilings in between.

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Konayama Miyuki / Milky / Mirukii
Character Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 22
Appearance: Oriental Japanese looking, 155cm tall.
URL to Character Picture, if any: Konayama Miyuki
Primary Objective: Miyuki was approaching graduation, and although she has a plan back on a familiar setting, it was all lost when she appeared in Gallimaufry, as this was a new world, an alien setting to her. Learning new skills and adapting, Miyuki wants to turn this unknown experience into a learning one, as she breaks out of her sheltered shell under the protection of Agents and Friends, and lessen her dependence on others to be one whom others can depend on. In simpler terms, become a role model to those who look up to her.
Also, open a photography and modeling studio, if it's possible in Gallimaufry.
Secondary Objectives: None
MUNDANE SKILLS
List Mundane skills here:
- Basic Housekeeping
- Performance Arts.
- Modeling.
- Basic First Aid.
- Cooking.
- Speaks English, Japanese and French.

- Basic Karate.
SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
Ability 1 and Points Spent: Performance (3 Points)
Ability 2 and Points Spent: Counselling (2 Points)
Ability 3 and Points Spent: Cooking (2 Points)
Ability 4 and Points Spent:
OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
Soul of the Idol - Every morning, Miyuki wakes up earlier than the rest to prepare a list of songs and performances, to use them for battle or for rest. She could memorize a maximum of seven songs or dances in thirty minutes, refreshing her memory bank every morning. Every time she uses a song, the song disappears from her memory.
Ability 1: Namba Performance
Power Level: 5 ( Combat. 3 if by Vocal or Dance alone ) 3 (Resting.)
Strengths:
- Combat Performance - Miyuki falls into a trance as she becomes an object of inspiration, her dancing and singing rouses her allies through aural and visual encouragement. Allies gain bonuses to their stats and gains a second wind of stamina, as they feel invigorated and inspired to push onwards to success.
- Resting Performance - Miyuki hums or sings a soft and comforting tune for her allies as they rest, granting them bonuses to HP and stamina regeneration. Afflictions are slowed or cured.
Weaknesses:
- Combat Performance - Requires Miyuki to be constantly in a state of dance and song, possibly making her vulnerable to sneak attacks. Can't Speak, Can't Dodge, but can move at normal speeds while maintaining her vocal aspect.
- Resting Performance - Miuiki sings and sings. She gains the benefits of rest at half speed, nor benefit from this magic.
Restrictions: Combat Performance - Can be used for a maximum of ten minutes before requiring a rest of an hour. If Miyuki magically performs for thirty minutes within twenty four hours, her body system crashes and she becomes unconscious for twelve hours, and requires another twelve hours of rest before she could do vigorous activities. Miyuki can only use songs or dances which are specially classified as Inspiring Performances.
- Resting Performance - (Stacks with Combat Performance) Still uses her voice. If Miyuki performs too much in a single day, her voice might go Hoarse before her body system actually crashes, rendering her unable to do any performances.
Ability 2: Kami Handshake
Power Level: 2
Strengths: Miyuki's handshakes were known to be some of the best back on Earth, as she'd transfer some of her power to herfansallies in the form of minor buffs.
Weaknesses: She empowers others. Miyuki gains nothing from this ability.
Restrictions: Each handshake grants a minor buff of strength and health, but each lasts for several minutes. Miyuki can use this ability up to 50 handshakes before her hands turn sore, rendering her unable to participate in physical combat.
MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
List:
800-slot Photoshoot Album (A collection of reminiscence and Miyuki's modeling photoshoots from many exotic locations.)Spellbook800-song Songbook (Miyuki acquires her songs and dances from this book.)
Performing Uniform (Augments Miyuki's singing abilities.)
BACKGROUND
Education or Training: Degree in Fine Arts, Japanese Idol Training (Music, Dance, Acting, Modeling). 16 years of Dancing, 14 years of Singing. Skilled in Home Economics (Basic cleaning and cooking duties).
Character Background/Biography:
Konayama Miyuki was the typical model student who was the envy of her class back in Japan. Smart, talented, and with an eye for exotic professions such as modelling and photography. One of her art pieces featuring calligraphy was portrayed in a museum, drawing a phrase of good luck for a school competition. As her parents divorced at an early age, Miyuki learnt to be independent, often taking care of the housework and assisting her mother in many domestic issues.
Miyuki started modelling when she was twelve, starring in several shoots for young clothing. When she was fourteen, Miyuki began to model for professional photoshoots, notably for modern fashion as well as some swimsuit advertisements, appearing in several magazines and commercials. In a way, this was the start of Konayama Miyuki's career in the entertainment industry.
At sixteen, Konayama Miyuki entered a Japanese idol group and performed at the highest level for six years. Often seen during photoshoots, auditions and group tours, Miyuki has built an impressive CV as one of the leading figures in the entertainment industry. Miyuki knew that to advance her career and expand into a wider market, the knowledge of English was extremely important. Picking it up during a linguistics course, Miyuki also learnt French during her free time.
However, six years of effort has culminated into a drive to seek something else, as her goal was to become someone who her mother and grandmother could be proud of. Konayama Miyuki announced her 'graduation' from the group to her legion of fans, and during the run up to her final performance, turned down several contracts as she sought to refresh her status in the industry.
How did she appear in the Building? Miyuki had no idea. One moment she was changing in her studio, the next she was in a different place. Blinking, Konayama Miyuki sought to make sense of all that was happening, and hopefully, find a way back...

Be cautious with the Kami Handshake. Certain characters have psionic abilities, so the sudden touch could harm them or Miyuki.
I'll bring her into the IC shortly. All characters arrive in the same manner. We need to put together a team to retrieve her.
