Supposed to be Friday

Desired Classes: Fafnir, Fencer, War Magus, Wildling, Arcanist

LEADER

Name: Wolf

Race: Sentinel - Wolf

Class: Wildling

Sex: Male

Appearance: A tall, burly wolf Sentinel. Wolf's fur is white with red markings on his back and arms. Unsurprisingly, the red markings are not his fur, but are instead painted on. Wolf's eyes are red. Wolf wears red pants with a golden utility sash belt containing his materials for beast calling. Wolf also wears a red and white mask of a dragon on his head. Instead of being worn on his face directly, however, Wolf usually has it simply sitting on his head. Wolf also wears golden gauntlets on his hands. He does not wear a shirt or shoes.

How much tutorializing do you want?: PUT ME IN COACH unless there's something new you added I should know about

NOTE: Wolf is the leader of a beast taming tribe from somewhere on the mainland. As such, he's a skilled commander and tactician and will serve as the party's leader. He's serious, calm, and collected. He won't back down from enemies no matter their strength so long as he believes he has a reason to fight.

Name: Alice

Race: Forest Folk

Class: Fafnir

Sex: Female

Appearance: A short and small young girl with long, green hair that turns red at the ends. Her eyes are red. She's notably younger than other adventurers. Only a child. She wears a purple and black dress along with a matching bow, usually. When calling upon her Fafnir powers, her eyes turn to blue flames. On full transformation, her skin turns to black scales and her hands become claws. Her dress is replaced by black armor and her hair becomes blue fire like her eyes.

NOTE: Alice is a noble from a rich family. She's aware of her fafnir powers and has discovered how to use them naturally on her own. She seems to have been born with them somehow, but how exactly is a mystery. She'll often warn her enemies not to be mean to her or her friends and transforms when they disobey. Outside of battle, she tends to be cute and innocent.

Name: Hawke

Race: Birdfolk

Class: Fencer

Sex: Male

Appearance: Being a birdfolk, Hawke has black wings on his back and black feathers on his arms and legs with talons on the ends. Hawke's skin is dark and his eyes are red. He wears a blue and gold mask shaped like a beak that covers his face. He also wears a necklace with various monster teeth on it. Hawke also wears blue and gold metal shin guards along with thigh guards, but he doesn't actually wear any shoes considering his feet are talons. This is paired with blue and gold arm guards. Finally, Hawke wears golden pauldrons on his shoulders.

NOTE: Hawke is a trained soldier that was sent by the king. He relies on his speed and flying abilities to dodge and counter attacks in battle. Taunting his enemies and making remarks as they miss to be hit by his counter attacks is quite common.

Name: Sol

Race: Celestrian

Class: War Magus

Sex: Male

Appearance: Sol is a pale Celestrian with pointed ears, white hair, and red eyes. He wears white pants with gold guards and a white and gold cloak with a sun design on it. Finally, he wears white shoes.

NOTE: Sol is Luna's brother. Being a War Magus, they compliment each other quite well. They work as a pair of magic treasure hunters, training and working together their whole lives. They kind of break down entirely when not together though.

Name: Luna

Race: Celestrian

Class: Arcanist

Sex: Female

Appearance: Luna is a dark skinned Celestrian with pointed ears, black hair, and red eyes. She wears black, heeled boots along with a black and silver sleeveless dress that has a moon pattern on it. She also wears fingerless black gloves that extend from her hands up to her elbows. A crescent moon hairclip keeps her black hair out of her face.

NOTE: Luna is Sol's sister. Being an Arcanist, they compliment each other quite well. They work as a pair of magic treasure hunters, training and working together their whole lives. They kind of break down entirely when not together though.

Are we going to subclass at any point?

For sanity's sake, I'd like to put all skill trees in one post, but you can only have 3 attachments per post.  Which is perfect!  One for basic, and two for the two possible master classes.  So they'll just be searchable.  Skill Tree for farmer incoming.

Also, how to read these.  Basically, any skill on the left, you can sink points in immediately.  To unlock and upgrade skills to the right, you need to level up a skill to its prerequisite value.  For example, Farmer can unlock Lullaby immediately.  After putting a point in Lullaby, they can unlock Play Possum.  When Lullaby hits level 3, you can unlock Rotten Egg.  Leveling up a skill increases its effects, and you can put points in a skill up to whatever the max is.  At 5 and 10, the skill gets a significant power boost (increased damage/duration/chance to succeed/etc), but its TP cost also increases.

You'll also need to invest Skill Points into Race Skills.  Each Race Skill can only have 1 point.  Race Skills usually either unlock new Burst Skills or increase base stats and offer some kind of out-of-battle advantage for field events.  You'll also have to spend a point to unlock Force Boost/Break at the appropriate levels.  There are no prerequisites for any Class Skills (except Force Break requiring Force Boost), other than character level.

I'll make a list of what the Race Skills do... eventually...
