Arcanum Octet II: Forbidden Lore [Turn 81]
« on: March 06, 2010, 12:23:26 pm »

Twenty years have passed since the gate to hell has opened up, and the demon's influence has spread across the world like hellfire... quite literally. The land transformed beneath their feet, becoming twisted and corrupted, slowly poisoning any who tried to live off of it. Most have fled from the demons, hoping to find salvation on the seas. They were never heard from again. Now, only a few precious strongholds remain, where the last survivors of humanity desperately try to survive.

Hurray for sequels!

Name: Nirur Torir
Gender: Male
Profession/Skills: Healing Magic No, wait. I don't want to be lynched.
   Major: Metamagic
   Minors: Death Magic and Axefighting
Requested Equipment: An axe that doubles as a staff for focusing ethereal flows, some armor, and a tattered book of necromancy.
Background Information: Nirur was a young lad when the world changed. His father was a mage of minor renown, and taught him all he could. It was not enough, his father was drafted after six months, and was slain while trying to defend a town two years later. His mother moved to Maradin, where she raised him for ten years. He continued to work on his magic what little spare time he had. When he was 15 he was drafted into the Maradin militia. He eventually saved enough money for a contraband book on death magic.
The city continued to grow more desperate, and he has volunteered to take the fight to the enemy.

I killed the arch-mage, via decapitation... is he a zombie now?

Name:Aarchan
Gender:Male
Profession/Skills(Chose 1 major and 2 minor):Major alchemy, minor throwing, minor herbalism
Requested Equipment(If it's reasonable, you will start with it):mortar+pestle, 10 glass vials, alchemy ingredient reference book, basic clothes
Background Information(Optional):Originally a herbal healer, Aarchan, realized that it not only made very little money, but with all the demons, few people survived to be healed.  When he stumbled upon an explosive mixture, and a type of contact acid, he decided to take the fight to the front lines.  Now a little crazy from so much chemicals, he travels the country in search of more powerful ingredients, in the hopes to make a potion which will one day kill the evil lords of the land.

You killed the head of the academy. Not the archmage that summoned the demons.

Also, you get to pick one major AND two minor skills. Same goes for you, Virroken

Is smithing needed for rune carving? If it is, I'll take that. If not, I'll take elemental magic as a minor.

It's not needed, but it is a complimentary skill. Elemental magic is fine, though.

Alright, I finished the builds for everyone who posted their character. I'll give until Monday night for the other three to post theirs, since it's the weekend. If they don't post by then, we will start going down the waiting list.
