CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Character Name: Jack Evans
Character Gender: Male
Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Human
Age: 24
Appearance: URL to Character Picture, if any: http://static.zerochan.net/Doujima.Ryou ... 044660.jpg Character Occupation: Part time monster hunter, Occasional chef and butcher
Character's biggest strength:
He is decently talented in multiple forms of hand to hand and knife combat, is very skilled with firearms, and is at a near master level in runic enchantment. This is only possible because he poured almost everything he had into this training, knowing that the alternative was near certain death.
[b]Character's biggest weakness:
If it isn't to do with magic, cooking, or combat, he probably has a year eighters level of knowledge with it, having stopped taking notice of most mundane subjects when he started needing to learn magic to survive. He is also fairly shy.
OBJECTIVES
[b]Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.
Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.
Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.
Primary Objective: Two years ago, Jacks best friend, Hannah Melville, was dragged through a portal to god knows where while sacrificing herself to prevent a particularly powerful demonic entity from altering the world any further, having already watched their world being
combined with the one the demon came from, an act which forever warped it.
While no one in their world had any knowledge of the omniverse, Jack figured that they had to have gone somewhere, and used a massive runic array he made to essentially force himself through space and time. Now he wishes to search the multiverse in order to find Hannah.
Secondary Objectives: While Jack isn't hunting demons, gods, monsters, and dangerous magic users, he takes the time to enjoy cooking, having owned a small stand he made street food at in his spare time back home. Now he has decided to try and amass recipes from all the different worlds, and maybe even becoming the best chef in the entire omniverse, should he find the effort. He also wishes to collect more unique runes he can use, as well as new and interesting firearms.
MUNDANE SKILLS These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

Is an excellent cook
Is a quick reader
Is very good at drawing
An encyclopaedic knowledge of most anime
SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, wizarding, piloting etc.
- Ability 1 and Points Spent: Extensive firearms training, 4
- Ability 2 and Points Spent: Extensive close combat training, 3
- Ability 3 and Points Spent:
- Ability 4 and Points Spent:
OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without
serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.
- Ability 1: Runic Array enchantment
Power Level: 5
Strengths: Can be used to turn enchant mundane objects with magical power, the effects of which are dependent on the runes used in the array, and are near endless.
Weaknesses: Must be drawn extremely well, otherwise it can backfire, making it extremely dangerous. This means that, unless the drawer is well defended enough to ensure their safety, runic arrays cannot be drawn in combat, perhaps excluding a few of the most simple ones. Drawing runes on living things, while technically possible, is incredibly dangerous, causing extreme amounts of damage with prolonged use.
Restrictions: Objects must be large enough to draw the runic array on. This means that, unless the drawer is insanely talented, more complicated runes can only be drawn on large objects.
Runic arrays generally cannot be activated remotely, unless there are extensive complicated modifications to the array itself, or there is a second array with the singular purpose being to activate the first array remotely, meaning most arrays need to be in contact with the users body to be activated.
Runic Arrays must also be drawn with a specific, blood-based ink, to ensure that the array stays permanent. If the user wishes to ensure that others cannot activate their arrays, this ink is further limited to being made from the users own blood.

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMSIf it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.
List: Enchanted Barrett M82A1M:
An already powerful American sniper rifle, with a reputation for being an exceptional anti-materiel rifle. On top of its normal attributes, Jack has placed two runic enchantments on it, a remote activation array for his bullets, and an array that lessens the effects of gravity on the gun.
Two Enchanted Colt M1911s:
Two secondary pistols Jack keeps on him, both with remote activation arrays on them.
Enchanted M-9 Bayonet:
An enchanted combat knife that Hannah gave Jack when she first dragged him into the business of hunting demons and monsters. It currently has three arrays on it;
one that causes a strong electrical current to run through the blade when charged, one that makes it far more durable, and one that super heats the blade enough for it to cut through most materials easily, with the only reason the blade itself doesn't melt being the array that increases durability.
Enchanted jacket:
Just a normal jacket Jack enchanted, giving it resistances to stabs and slashes, as well as fire. He is still working on inventing an array that allows fabric to be resistant to blunt forces, while still keeping its flexibility.
Multiple cases of enchanted bullets:
Bullets that Jack has drawn arrays on. These can allow them to have elemental effects, or increased their kinetic force, or decrease air resistance, allowing them to fly further..
EQUIPMENTThis is what your character has
on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.
List: A large duffle bag full of cooking equipment, most of which are enchanted. These include pots, pans, and a set of knives. There are also a number of thick guidebooks on different runic arrays, so he can keep learning new techniques.
A smaller bag, enchanted to remain 'refrigerated', which contains meat, vegetables, dairy products, and spices.
He also has a number of pockets attached to the inside of his jacket, containing tubes of homemade enchanting ink.
BACKGROUNDBe detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.
Education or Training: Extensive magical training, specifically in the area of runic enchantment. However, this has caused him to become lax in almost every other area. Took cooking classes, as neither his teacher nor his friend knew how to cook. Also trained extensively with both firearms and close ranged combat.
Character Background/Biography: Up until the age of fourteen, Jack was a relatively normal kid, knowing nothing more about the occult than any other normal kid. That all changed a few days after his fourteenth birthday, when his eccentric, horrifying and inhumanly strong best friend Hannah Melville accidentally summoned a relatively powerful, young infernal entity, and coerced him into helping her get rid of it. Ever since that day, Jack had been dragged along to fight demons and monsters with Hannah, begrudgingly at first, but slowly coming to accept it as his life.
For the next ten years, he studied magic with Hannah and her legal guardian Marie Lindall, who was a friend of Hannah's father before he died and a powerful mage, known throughout the magical community as 'Lindall the Bomber' after her signature spell, 'Magic Minefield'. While most normal forms of magic proved to be extremely difficult for him, he quickly learned that he had an incredible talent for drawing runic arrays. This coupled with (forced) training with firearms under Marie's tutelage to make up for his lack of spell casting ability has led to him being given the moniker 'The Bullet Mage'. While never particularly well known thanks to efforts to remain out of the larger magic community, those who did know of him respected his skill, particularly mages who worked in the area of runic enchantment themselves.
Unfortunately , when Jack and Hannah were twenty two, a group of cultists summoned a powerful demon, which proceeded to start fusing the world of spirits with the normal human world. However, before irreversible damage could be done, Hannah forced a portal for an entirely different world to open, and sacrificed herself to drag the demon to the other side with her.
For the last two years, Jack has been experimenting on increasingly complicated runic arrays that would allow him to reach the multiverse, and finally succeeded merely two days ago.
OTHER GAME MECHANICS URL to Apartment Picture: (What's the inside of their apartment look like) http://kiwi-international-hotel.aucklan ... 12537.JPEGA small, sparse one room apartment with a decent kitchen, a decent bed and very little else.

Joseph could already see smoke beginning to rise as he neared the city, the telltale sounds of massive guns firing at each other confirming something he already expected.
The battle had already begun.
He could still see dropships flying over the city, knights from both sides dropping in, some shot from the sky before they could reach the ground.
"Damn it!" He shouted. "Salem, change of plans! We're not going to have time to make our presence known as non-combatants! We're going to have to go straight in if we want to find any survivors!"
"But sir, both factions will assume we're enemi-"
"I know, damn it!" He shouted, cutting off the AI. "But if we don't get in there as fast as possible, more people are going to die!"
"Yes sir. Understood."
Almost screaming in frustration, he sped along the road.
The city was walled to keep some of the more dangerous animals of Eden out, so the only ways in were either being dropped in by aircraft, or going through the official entrances.
Official entrances that were almost definitely going to be heavily guarded.
Sure, the battlefield was on the other side of the city, so most of the frontiersmen would probably be on the other side of the city, but still, only idiots wouldn't leave at least one knight there to prevent enemies from catching them from behind.
And, sure enough, there were two frontiersmen knights, directly ahead of him.
And, as expected, they had noticed him.
What a day for Salems communication network to be broken, huh?
He knew they were trying to raise him on their comms because, you know, they hadn't shot at him yet. This quickly changed when he didn't respond, and they were already raising their weapons to fire.
"Salem! Try and shoot their guns!"
"Yes sir."
As he sped towards the entrance, he felt the vibrations of that stupidly powerful machine gun beginning to fire, and watched in satisfaction as the first knights gun was blasted from its hand, the seconds hand being completely blown from the arm.
Before they could regain their balance, Joseph drove Salem between the two knights and into the city.
And no, he didn't care if he had just left the back gate almost completely undefended for the UEC to get in. Maybe then the battle would be over faster.
No, the only thing he cared about right now was getting into the city, finding civilians, and getting them out.
It was all any of these pilots should be thinking about.
