Character Name: Ghost Orchid

Character Source: OC

Starting Location: Erde Nona

Character Behavior:
Often quiet, Ghost does not tend to interact with many other people beyond business or survival situations. While not someone you could consider rude or dismissive, his shyness is easily mistaken for the former. He is actually quite kind and follows a hidden moral code that seems to align with the more popular understanding of what is good. He does not speak much but takes notice of all those around him and keeps his body language in check in order to remove suspicion from him. He tips well, pushes in his chair after a meal, and brings the dishes to the counter for the wait staff. Despite all these things, he is scarily efficient in his work and when it comes to hunting or fighting; his timid shell fades and he proves just how formidable he truly is.

(Kind Archer)
(Withdrawn Assassin)
(Patient Ranger)

Physical Description:

Ghost Orchid stands at about 6'0" even and is rather skinny from the times he's spent looking for meals outside of city walls. His hair is a deep maroon and almost to his navel in length, but is usually kept in a bun. His left arm is also made of some void, light devouring, presence. Most of this however is unknown due to how many layers he hides himself under. A mask of steel for anonymity, and a dark hooded robe above the tightly attached light armor.

Character History:

Ghost Orchid's existence is a mystery even to him. One he more than anything wants to solve. He has no memories of family, a childhood, or a hometown, but his dreams always show him glimpses of something. Hazy images doused in shadow that display people and places that feel familiar. To him though, it felt as if he'd always been hunting and assassinating targets since he was conscious, and that the void has always been a part of him. As the dreams progress however, he is noticing they become clearer and clearer. They have shown him places he has seen in Erde Nona, proving to him he is indeed from this world. Wherever he is headed, he is sure it holds answers.

What starting Affinity does your character have? Formidable

Abilities/Skills:

Petal
(Damage Rank 4: +400) (Ranged +50) (Removable -50) (400E)
Petal is Ghost’s bow made of pure void. Once manifested, it is a physical item that can be taken from him. The bow acts as a normal bow without the necessity for ammunition, but requires a brief manifestation upon use and active de-manifestation before it vanishes.

Affliction (Debuff Rank 5: +500) (Activation 10 Seconds: -50)(Side Effect-50) (250E)
Ghost’s void affliction travels through his left arm. When channelled, he can use it to touch an opponent and deprive them of all five senses for a limited time. This effect leaves him fatigued, allowing him an opportunity to escape but incapable of continuing to fight.

Songbird (Communication Rank 3: +300) (300E)
Ghost’s whistling allows him to communicate short commands to non-speaking, lesser intelligent animals and creatures such as flee, attack, fetch, or wait. One creature in sight per rank.

Skills:
Social (Intimidation) Rank 5 - +250
Survival (Creature Knowledge) Rank 2 - +100

How much Essence did you spend? 1450

How much Essence do you have left? 550

Hi there, welcome to Multerra! I'll be looking at your application real quick to check if everything's in order, please don't hesitate to ask questions if you're confused!

For Character Behavior -- Our character behavior sections follow a certain format! While what you have written is all good, we ask that our roleplayers use "two-word identifiers" when writing their character behavior sections. You can learn more about this here: https://multerra.zulenka.com/index.php?pages/rules-behavior/. Here are some example character profiles that feature these two-word identifiers: [Example 1] [Example 2] [Example 3]

For Character History -- Can you clarify in your history if your character is native to our setting, the Crossroads, or if he was transported here?

For your Abilities -- Please list the total Essence cost of each ability when writing them! I also noticed that your total spent Essence seemed a little high, so I will break down how calculating costs for Abilities works.

For Petal, the total cost would be 400E. Damage Rank 4 is 400E. The Ranged modifier adds 200E to the total cost since it is 50 x Rank 4. The Removable modifier subtracts 200E from the total cost, since it is also 50 x Rank 4. So you end up with (400E + 200E) - 200E = 400E.

For Affliction, the total cost would be 250E. This is because Debuff Rank 5 (500E) subtracts (50 x 5 = 250E) for both the Activation and Side Effect modifiers, reducing the cost to 0E. Since the overall cost of an ability cannot drop below 50E per Rank of Effect, the overall cost would remain fixed at 250E.

So, by my count, your total spent Essence would be 1300E and not 1450E, which saves you a nice amount of Essence!

Alrighty, let’s see… yep, everything seems to be in order here! You’re approved!

When you have the time, you can post your character information in the Character Profiles section of the forum. After that point, feel free to start writing on your chosen starting world-- no additional steps required!

I hope you have fun on Multerra, happy writing! :)

PS - As a side note, would you like me to update your account name to “Ghost Orchid”?
