Welcome to Gaia! ::

DIVISION: Ranged/Offensive Melee Mix
JOB/CLASS: Crusader > WarDean > Viceroy

Crusader: [+1 Melee, +3 Ranged, +1 Magic/Other]
Also known as a WarPriest, they are the backbone of any religious order. Without them, there is no church. Each temple is assumed to be under the guidance of one priest, who is in charge of all that goes on within the temple they are associated with. Priests are selected from the ranks of the postulants and assigned to serve in areas where the church needs to establish a new temple or replace another priest for some reason. In this case, she will have been selected by her Prior to journey to Aschere and join the league, promoting her from her position in the convent.

WarDean: [+1 Melee, +6 Ranged, +2 Magic/Other]
This powerful individual is generally accorded all the respect and influence due to a knight or similar member of the Chivalric class. The dean is an important link in the church structure, for she often acts as an interface between the church's highest officials and the local representatives of the faith (in the person of the local curates and priests.) With such power and influence, the dean is clearly a force to be reckoned with in any feudal nation. The dean is, obviously, entrusted with a great deal of authority. In the absence of clear direction from her superiors in the church, the dean is permitted (indeed, expected) to make very important decisions regarding the practice of the faith. As such, they tend to be very conservative people who seek to avoid making any decisions which might be viewed as radical by their leaders. In times of crisis, such resistance to change and the desire to avoid "going out on a limb" can often cause serious problems. In the capacity of a WarDean, she has also gained more magical and physical means of forcing her ideals on "unenlightened" groups, and has the ability to lead her people in such battles of faith.


Viceroy: [+2 Melee, +10 Ranged, +3 Magic/Other]
At the top of every religious order are Viceroys, also known as a high priests or priestesses. These people are generally the absolute rulers of the faith in a given area. In this case where the same deity is worshipped by more than one culture, a schism tends to develop along culture lines which causes the faith to splinter into two or more groups, each with its own high priest or priestess. This character in particular is a member of a funamentalist faction of the faith, and her followers view the other branches as misguided and corrupt. The high priests or priestesses will answer to a higher authority who oversees the church as a whole. Because of this, they are generally treated as if they were members of a royal family itself. The rigors of her life have been such that she is respected as the final authority on all matters of faith. In many churches, the word of the viceroy is assumed to be divine and must be taken as the word of the deity herself. No member of the church may refuse to obey the instructions of their high priest without risking the wrath of the deity herself. To be sure, this is not something that any member of the church should take lightly.

This stage is going to be an odd one, because depending on her interactions with League members, she'll either be an incredibly devout, close-minded Viceroy, or one that now distrusts her faith, and is using her position for change. We'll see.


SPECIAL SKILLS

BattleSkill LVL01: Prayer [Positive Stat Effect: Self only] You are able to positively effect a target's melee, ranged, or magic/other. The associated bonus is +3/+6/+9 depending on job level. The effect lasts 1, 2, or 3 rounds depending on job level. If you have this skill, you have access all of it's potential uses. So your character is not restricted to just boosting melee, they can also boost ranged and magic. Examples include: Str Up. This is a magic/other skill. See point requirement chart. Target can be (self only) or (any).


BattleSkill LVL02: Signature Move Your character has trained in a special move that does greater damage than they usually perform. Unfortunately this move is exhausting and may not be performed often. For this special attack you may stack two bonuses, ie. d20+melee+ranged and use this in both determining success of attack as well as damage. All buffs continue to take effect. At level 2, you can use this skill once per battle. At level 3 you can use this skill twice per battle, but not consecutively

BattleSkill LVL03: Charge If your character spends one round doing nothing but studying their proposed target, they can give themselves a one-time bonus on their next attack against that person with their chosen skill. At level 1, they give themselves a +3, at level 2 it's a +6, and at level 3 it's a +9. This bonus only lasts for the round directly after the character has studied their target and then disappears. This skill does not need to be magical in nature. There is no point requirement.


Racial Bonus: Flight (Pennier) Pennier can fly over medium distances and heights. (Without assistance a Pennier can push themselves and fly about as far as a human can run without stopping, so it depends on what kind of shape they're in. The maximum is about 50ft cruising altitude, but they can fly higher in short bursts to reach a specific point.) This is a narrative skill.

OTHER NOTES: Narrative Attributes Explained:

The individual class levels are intended for the sect, yes, however, if EK wants to use any of this for the church as a whole, he's definitely welcome to. Thank you. <3

I've filled out her personality, but I doubt that it's a finished product. I know that Bietrix can pass the fighting tests to get in, and that she'll enter at the orders of her Prior.

Thank you. <3 I'm fond of her physical appearance, I think.

The town and history are going to be the hardest parts, I'll bet myself that. It's going to take a while. Not sure if I'm going to do history, or the town first, probably the former, so I can get her approved, and have time to do my contest entry...

I was really torn about that... A bunch of her stuff is Melee, but she's also very strong in Ranged. I was actually considering Piraya, though. I've got more to write in for class, about fighting style, and such, and mostly, her attacks are a bit like a hawk's. Ranged, in the sense that she'll be using weapons sort of like tomahawks and throwing them, javelins and such, but her favorite attacks are speeding in to strike up close and hard. Still... I don't know. She could for either? I'll let you two decide.

What EK said makes sense. xd It is impossible to avoid Piraya anyway. She wants to know all about the League's members strengths and weaknesses (And poor Auguste needs more Division members. xd )

Yeah, I actually caught sight of those errors [I usually do AFTER posting them, hurrr :B], but went and made dinner instead. xD I'll fix them by the time you read this, I'll bet.

I was going to have a bump on her nose, on the bridge, that may have come about from being broken, and I have no problems with her having that. xD It's a good idea, and makes sense considering that she'd have to take quite a few hard hits before learning to protect her face.

Basically, yes, and that I thought she'd be "stronger" than the basic of her race. Still, I'm not sure if I'm keeping it.

I like Bietrix a LOT >>; It's just the history that's taking a while. If I go at it the way I am, it'll take pages, so I might just simplify some things. Maybe only a paragraph for each of the sections, or something. D: I dunno.

Thank you guys for all the positive feedback! I wasn't sure if she was going to work, but I wanted to do something different with the Pennier, since I know how sometimes religion can lead to some pretty nasty things.

xD THANKS GEISHA. <3
