Primarch the character is finished.

QuoteBlood Sacrifice- Generally the original blood sacrifice is to sacrifice the health of an ally. But Vishion has revised this with his very own touches and has made it so he drains the blood and transfers the blood of the enemies into healing him and his allies.
Oh no you don't sunshine! You want to play with Forbidden Magic, you deal with the consequences!

Otherwise its fine, although if he's a Grey Warden you might want to reference that in the backstory, and for the sake of consistency if you could list his armour & any trinkets he has in equipment it would be great. You can leave the paragraph at the end describing the ensemble, but if gear changes during the game having a list you can quickly edit would be handy, and make for other people's quick glancing of what characters are/have easier. My own glancing included.

The issue is said we had to choose a certain amount of spells. But I never used Blood Sacrifice to begin with in my own game. I had it because its what unlocked blood control.

But, the issue is I use my teammates against the monsters. The reason why I don't use Blood Sacrifice is because it seems counter productive when they are my human meat shields.

Don't use it if you worry about its counter productive nature, but changing what spells do just opens a whole flood gate of things I'd really rather avoid. If you want blood control you need sacrifice, so get it, get blood control then forget about sacrifice.

Personally, I hope you do use Sacrifice at some point. Sounds like it'd be a fun ability for the rest of us to type up reactions to, especially if its effects are subtle.

Sure, although I believe you just might be the last new person. Between yourself, those with characters approved and the others who are interested I reckon we got enough for a fine game.

Just follow the template/character sheet on the opening page and you should be fine. Level 10 characters, keep things reasonable and you should be fine.

All right. I'll leave it as using his allies.

I can imagine an interesting situation.

Personality: Quick-witted, tactically minded, religiously devoted
Mira is a good example of how the Chantry can produce effective, strong and loyal people. Her training as a Templar is only a small part of what makes her a devout follower of the Andrastian Chantry and loyal servant of the Divine. She is calm and unemotional, task oriented, precise in everything she does and has shown courage in the face of everything from abominations and blood mages to darkspawn. She can show compassion and mercy just as easily as cold efficiency.

Backstory: Mira was born in an Ferelden town near Denerim just after the end of the war. She was raised by a Bann loyal to King Maric, but was orphaned early after her mother died of disease, while her father had died during the late stages of the war. Originally, she was going to be taken in by another Bann, but was given to the Chantry. She was raised by the Chantry to become a sister, but felt that becoming a templar was better suited to her, and so she was trained in Denerim as a templar, taught to use lyrium to fuel her attempts to stop mages from using their powers, how to fight mages and do so effectively.

She eventually completed her training and was stationed in Redcliffe for a short while, never doing much more than guarding the Chantry and occasionally chasing off some bandits outside the village, while her comrades were always the ones to head out and find mages who had run from the Circle or apostates that were discovered. After a few years, however, she got her chance in the form of a blood mage who had killed a templar just outside of Redcliffe, and a manhunt was initated. It took almost 2 years for the mage to be found, and during which, a Seeker of Truth had been dispatched from Orlais to find this mage, who had killed templars and chantry priests from Antiva to Ferelden.

To Mira's fortune, she tracked down the mage just before a Seeker did, and managed to fight and kill the mage all before the Seeker arrived. When she did arrive, the Seeker was impressed, but didn't show it. For a few more months Mira basked in the glow of success in Redcliffe before suddenly being transfered to the Ferelden Circle of Magi for only a short year, before she was summoned to the Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux. One year later, she was a Seeker herself.

Looks good, post it up.

With that I reckon we got enough to start, but I haven't slept (its now 5:26 in the morning in my parts) and I got a taxi coming in about an hour to bring me to a bus station for a very long bus ride followed by a flight over twice as long. I'll have internet is my destination but I hope you understand if it takes a bit to set up the thread.

Those of you not yet with approved characters can take the time to get'em in order before we begin!

Yaaaay a templar! just what we needed  ;D

Going to be some interesting interaction between the Apostate and the Templar I'm sure of that.

Edit:

Primarch, I finished Blood Sacrifice reedit to its original form. Am I finally accepted?

Primarch

Apologies for a very long delay! I was in America for 8 days and thought I'd have more internet access then I did. However, if people are still interested then we can start at once!

bubby

*POUNCES!* YAY! I'm still here, if that matters...lol. I'll get in touch of Hanged and see if he's still in, since he NEEDS to be here to hold my hand for this game anyway!

Question Mark

Still willing to get this on!  Maybe your long absence is a good thing; less interested people may have moved on.   :)

(And ya, as someone who's frequently moved/travelled, American internet SUCKS).

Machete

As much as I'd like to take part in this game, my muse is refusing to allow me to come up with, even, the most basic personality and bio for Calypso.  Thus, I'll have to withdraw from, at least, the starting party.
