I heard code. *perk*

Soooo, no, not hardcore code Tilt, just regular old boring pre-set up code for the average internet user. *pats head*

Aw.

[Torsiedelle]

I thought for a moment you'd meant the Archdrake Sect of Lindelt. They're not OP at all in Dark Souls.

Then I realized you mean an actual Dragon.

Coincidentally, I had once hoped to write an app for a Knight of Astora from Dark Souls, but...I didn't. Lol.

CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Clemence Peregrine Ambrose - otherwise known as Clem

Character Gender: Male

Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Human

Age: 28

Appearance: Clemence is 6'5 and weights around 200 pounds, he has a slender yet lean build. He has jet-black hair with silver eyes that areunsettling. He usually dons simple mage robes for comfort but will also wear normal clothes that best suited to this time period, a period in which he is still not used to

URL to Character Picture, if any: Closest thing that resembles him - not taking credit for making the image by the way

Character Occupation: Formerly a Crown Prince, politician


OBJECTIVES

Primary Objective: Clemence's main objective is to find a way to bring his wife and family along with him in this strange predicament he finds himself in. Without them he feels he is nothing, and because of this longing for them, he works tirelessly in his quest to reunite with his family, whether it be through magic or favors from beings more powerful than himself. (Just a side note, it does not really matter to me if it's possible for Clemence to ever see his family again, I'm still not even sure how he even got to this dimension so this part is still foggy for me. But I just figured this would be a good objective, even if it's impossible.)

Secondary Objectives: Clemence will seek to master the mystic arts as he no longer has to hide his abilities and is free to use them. He will also work on being more sociable as he finds himself in a world where he is not venerated, he's never bought his own food nor washed his own clothes, this entire world is an adjustment for him and it will be a goal of his to feel normal in it.


MUNDANE SKILLS
List Mundane skills here

• Basic Training - or at least it's equivalent, his home world never advanced beyond the discovery of the steam engine so he does not understand the weapons used in the modern day.
  
• Orator - Although his mannerisms and speech may seem antique he can convey ideas eloquently
  
• Astute - Clemence is incredibly perceptive from his years in court and can analyze situations quickly and turn them to his advantage
  
• Sincerity - Or at least apparent sincerity anyway. Clemence is good at making people feel like he cares about their problems, whether he actually does or not depends on the situation.
  
• Networking - Is willing to mingle and make contacts to further his career
  
• Interpersonal Intelligence - Clemence is very observant and sensitive to the moods of others, and also has the ability to entertain different perspectives.

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS

• Ability 1 and Points Spent: Swordsmanship (3) - As a crown prince he trained extensively with his fathers royal guard and is quite accomplished when it comes to swordplay. Most of the time he chooses to fight with his magic, but when he does use swords, he chooses to duel wield.
  
• Ability 2 and Points Spent: Conjuration (4) - Clemence from an early age took a liking to this school of magic and uses his skills to create distance against his opponents.

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS


Ability 1: Conjure wolves
Power Level: 3
Strengths: Instant spell result, wolves serve as a distraction and helps Clemence slowly wear the opponent down.
Weaknesses: Once the wolves are struck down, they are gone for good, and only three of them appear at a time.
Restrictions: This incantation is lengthier than most as it requires conjuring something that is living, as a result it is not a spell that can be cast in the heat of battle.

Ability 2: Conjure Ice Storms
Power Level: 4
Strengths: This spell is devastating if Clemence is outnumbered, it could be used as a counter-attack or as a cover for escape.
Weaknesses: It takes a while for the storm to fully manifest (2-3 minutes), only lasts for 5 minutes, small radius (kinda like how it is on skyrim)
Restrictions: The mana required for this spell is quite large, this is a spell that would be most safely case when he is at full power.
MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS

Cometfell - A magical staff that was granted to him by his father, Clemence mainly uses this staff to store additional mana. However, he can also use the staff to channel his own mana into energy blasts. When the staff was granted to him, it was bound to his soul. He cannot cast spells without the staff in hand. If separated from it, he cannot channel his mana to cast spells.

Storm Caller and Fate - Swords with the language of his homeland engraved in the hilt of the blade, when separated from his staff this is how Clemence will fight.

Mages Robes - simple but elegant robes that Clemence wears in combat

The Arcanum - Where Clemence records his findings and research on Conjuration magic, if he has ideas for spells this is where they'll be.

BACKGROUND

Education or Training:

Character Background/Biography:
Clemence Peregrine Ambrose was born into the Royal Family of Miavenise and was the eldest son, he was the product of the King Clemence X and his third wife Queen Consort Isabella who was a sorceress. Clemence was born in the midst of a war between his homeland and the much larger Morvanian Empire that was technologically superior and had an immense army. Even though the wizards of Miavenise fought valiantly, the sheer numbers of the Empire overwhelmed their defenses and Clemence's father surrendered two years into the war. As punishment for what the militaristic Empire perceived as weakness, magic was banned throughout the realm and the price for being caught practicing it was death. Furthermore, any child that had shown any aptitude for the art was "dealt" with.

Always being teased as a child for not initially showing any grasp of magic, to the point where his tutors began to question whether he had the gift at all served him well in those times. It was known throughout the land that the Crown Prince showed no aptitude for magic even though his mother was a master sorceress, so the invaders left him be, and it was only by the grace of the Emperor himself (and a fortune) that his mother was spared on the condition that she never practice magic again. Things went on normally with constant raids on the commonfolk by the Morvanian occupiers. It was in his twelfth year that those who were practiced in magic could sense the mana bleeding off of Clemence's aura, he was a late bloomer. His mother was determined to teach him everything she knew and more, under the guise of "home schooling" Clemence endured a rigorous curriculum in the mystic arts from his mother when he was not out training with his fathers royal guard.

During his training his mother made it clear to him that he had a duty to free the people of Miavenise and it would be through his own power that he would be able to do so. When he came of age, he was well versed enough in the mystic arts to continue his studies at his own pace yet carefully, as the Empire and their observers in the Royal Court kept a watchful eye of the Royal family as well as the other noble houses throughout the realm that were known to have an aptitude for magic. On his 19th birthday he married his wife Ysonia who was the scion of another well known noble family and together they were the pride of a nation that was in it's darkest days. He continued his secretive studies in the mystic arts while also gathering support among the nobility as was required of his station. On the eve of his 28th birthday, his father died, and along with it the Morvanian promises to spare his mother death for previously practicing magic. In haste, his mother granted him Cometfell, a staff that was a dynastic heirloom and was used by his ancestors to unite the various tribes and form Miavenise. It was to be a symbol of his station, the staff was to him what the scepter was to his father. Refusing summons from the Emperor, the not yet coronated ruler met the armies sent to crush Miavenise for his insolence head on. Ignoring his mother's warning he casted a spell so large it put him in a coma. He awoke in this dimension, confused as to how he got here Clemence is mentally torn and longs to see his family again.

[Mincaldenteans]

Welcome Chad

After looking over your app, you'll have to reconsider a few things and adjust accordingly. My comments in blue.

-snipped application--
Character Occupation: Formerly a Crown Prince, politician
-A former crown prince/politician opens up more skills that will need to be listed below...

OBJECTIVES

Primary Objective: Clemence's main objective is to find a way to bring his wife and family along with him in this strange predicament he finds himself in. Without them he feels he is nothing, and because of this longing for them, he works tirelessly in his quest to reunite with his family, whether it be through magic or favors from beings more powerful than himself. This borderline obsession with his family can make him seem manic at times, Clemence will let nothing stop him from achieving this objective. (Just a side note, it does not really matter to me if it's possible for Clemence to ever see his family again, I'm still not even sure how he even got to this dimension so this part is still foggy for me. But I just figured this would be a good objective, even if it's impossible.)
-Objectives change in IC, but be aware that Clemence might not see his family for a very long time-
Secondary Objectives: Clemence will seek to master the mystic arts as he no longer has to hide his abilities and is free to use them. He will also work on being more sociable as he finds himself in a world where he is not venerated, people no longer address him with the respect that he is used to and he's never really had to work for anything when it came to relationships with others and making those relationships work in his own interests. To put it simply, he does not know how to function in social settings. He will attempt to use his abilities to gain more power and influence in this dimension, this is a side affect of not having his family around as he has nothing to lose.
-He'll find using his abilities with the Residents and the Community at large without consideration or forethought will kill him. Dead, period. No turning back the clock or redacting actions. Also consider that he's a prince and a politician, social skills are imperative if he seeks to gain knowledge and earn anyone's trust.


MUNDANE SKILLS
List Mundane skills here

• Basic Training - or at least it's equivalent, his home world never advanced beyond the discovery of the steam engine so he does not understand the weapons used in the modern day.
  
• Orator - although his mannerisms and speech may seem antique he can convey ideas eloquently
  

-A good orator is not the only skill of a politician. Consider what your character would be doing, or other skills that apply as a politician, if he has to put his 'politician cap' on...

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS

• Ability 1 and Points Spent: Swordsmanship (5) - As a crown prince he trained extensively with his fathers royal guard and is quite accomplished when it comes to swordplay. Most of the time he chooses to fight with his magic, but when he does use swords, he chooses to duel wield.
  

-This sword will need to be listed below. All items you think your character would have would need to be listed below. If its not in the app, he doesn't have it unless acquired through IC play.

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS


Ability 1: Magic
Power Level: 7
Strengths: His extensive training back on his home world allows him to cast spells verbal and non-verbal which can vary from illusion to conjuration. He is particularly adept with destruction magic but rarely uses it because of it's devastating affects. Although he's a novice when it comes to the dark arts, necromancy was extremely looked down upon in his culture and he can barely drain a flower of it's life source. Yes, he can cast a spell that makes him invisible but while invisible he cannot interact with physical objects nor other beings. Also, it is possible for the spell to deplete him of his mana if he continues to power it. Once his mana is fully depleted if he continues to cast spells it drains his life force. Depending upon the spell it could leave him unconscious, in a coma, or dead. To restore his mana he needs to meditate and concentrate on realigning himself spiritually, depending on how depleted he is this could take hours at a time. While in this state of meditation Clemence is completely vulnerable.
"Magic" is too broad and will be flatly rejected. You need to list what forms of magic he excels and place the appropriate points, weaknesses and restrictions thereof. You have 7 points total, so consider what forms of magic he will be adept in.


MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS

Cometfell - A magical staff that was granted to him by his father, Clemence mainly uses this staff to store additional mana. However, he can also use the staff to channel his own mana into energy blasts. This staff also allows him to cast more powerful versions of spells but it depletes his mana faster.
-Cer won't allow this. You can lower its usefulness if the staff is required when casting a spell, but as it is, its overpowered.
Also, list your sword here if you intend for him to own one, as well as any other equipment/items you think is required on his person.

Hiya Chad. Nice application. You'll need to do a bit of tinkering to get things balanced out. Min's touched upon most of the stuff.

Think of specialized skills as knowledge and supernatural skills as potential. A mage would have points in magical knowledge (or his sphere/discipline) as well as points in the raw potential (how powerful he is).

It helps to define the sphere a bit more, too. Someone can excel at reanimating the dead (Necromancy sphere) but be all thumbs when casting Invisibility (Illusion sphere).

An example:
Special Knowledge:

Necromancy (4)
Illusion (2)

Ability 1: Animate Dead

Power Level: 4
Strengths: Instant spell result, animated dead retain autonomous thought and thus can fight alongside character in combat, often protecting them.
Weaknesses: Spell easily countered by Animancy
Restrictions: The spell duration is only 1 hour. Can not reanimate things that have been dead a while. Muscles, tendons and other fluids must not have decayed to the point of being unusable.

Ability 2: Minor Cantrips. These are tiny, self-serving spells. Cantrip 1 - suppress pain. Cantrip 2 - slow infection. Cantrip 3 - slow poison

Power Level: 2
Strengths: the cantrips give the necromancer a bit of protection while working with the dead. He can handle infected or toxic things, and put off effects for a short while.
Weaknesses: Yeah, a very short while. They won't stop her from getting infected, and if she doesn't take steps to heal herself through potions, the poison or infection will progress.
Restrictions: Cantrips must be cast ahead of time. They can only be cast once per day. Only one cantrip can be cast at a time.

Ability 3: Invisibility

Power Level: 1
Strengths: Instant spell result, total invisibility
Weaknesses: short duration spell lasts only 10 minutes [the power level is too low to sustain it for long]. Light will reveal her shadow on the ground.
Restrictions: The spell won't render her undetectable to other senses. She can only cast it on herself. Clothing is including in the casting, but no other objects.

I hope this helps. It's really confusing at first, but you've got a good start so far.
