Physical Description:

One's immediate opinion of Ashlynn would likely be "entirely too happy country bumpkin". The redhead's perpetual smile, copious freckles, and broad-shouldered build bring to mind images of jovial farmgirls waking at dawn to feed and milk livestock. Her unimpressive height of five-foot-absolutely-nothin' does little to help this, since it makes her broad, muscular build all the more noticeable. She often dresses in plain, cheap, functional clothes, since her work tends to have her covered in one form of much or another.

Character History:

As one might expect, Ashlynn was born and raised in a tiny, nameless community on Erde Nona, one whose focus was livestock and agriculture. She spent the first two decades of her existence in this lifestyle, knowing no other... to her chagrin. The idea of spending the rest of her life on the farm made a part of her that she could not put a name to despair. To be limited so... She spent many years branching out into what little her village had to offer: she apprenticed herself to the smith for a time, to the village wise woman, and even tried her hand at hunting, though her ability with a bow left much to be desired. All she had to show for her exploration was a more impressive physique and the most tenuous grasp on the fundamentals of magic.

However, when a passing peddler ended up temporarily stranded in her tiny town, her interactions with him and the stories he told opened her mind to the possibility of more. The concept of space travel, soaring through the vast expanse of pitch-black space with only the occasional beacon of civilization... It both terrified and enthralled her.

And so, leaving the family business in the more-than-capable hands of her younger siblings, Ashlynn packed her meager belongings and set out for Arcadia, determined to see for herself what kind of worlds were out there.

Abilities/Skills:

Abilities


Soothing Hand
Healing - Rank 5 (1000)
Modifiers: Self/Other (+25/rank), Slow Activation (-100/Rank), Concentration (-50/rank).
375 Essence

An ability she picked up while apprenticed to her village's wise woman, Ashlynn can harness the flow of ambient mana and heal injuries inflicted upon herself or others. Unfortunately, she's very much out of practice, and even her natural aptitude can't help that fact. It requires her total concentration to succeed, as well as a lengthy amount of time for her to tap into the ambient mana.

Farm Life
Endurance - Rank 4 (400)
400 Essence

Spending most of her life on her family's farm, Ashlynn's body is a well-oiled machine best suited for physically demanding tasks that other people might find impossible.

Redhead's Temper
Damage - Rank 3 (300)
Move Object - Rank 3 (300)
Modifiers: Ongoing (+100/rank)
900 Essence

Of course, this also means that she possesses the capability to be a truly destructive force when it's warranted or when provoked. Her peers at home would often poke fun and tease her, just to see her lose her temper and watch those farm-grown muscles at work.

Master Skills

Humanities/Sciences (Agriculture) - Ashlynn is a veritable reservoir of farming knowledge thanks to her upbringing.
CURRENT RANK: 3 (150 Essence)

Craft (Culinary) -
A hobby she picked up both for her own sanity and her family's, since her parents both lacked any kind of sense of taste, and would often populate the table with little but boiled vegetables and heavily salted meat.
CURRENT RANK: 1 (50 Essence)

Medical -
Knowledge retained from her time apprenticed to the village wise woman, Ashlynn possesses rudimentary medical skill in case she comes across a wound that is either too minor to warrant her healing ability or too major for it to make a difference.
CURRENT RANK: 2 (100 Essence)

How much Essence did you spend? 1975

How much Essence do you have left? 25

Hi there and welcome to Multerra! There’s just one thing I’d like to address in your app, it’s a pretty simple fix!

For “Farm Life” -

Endurance is by default Ongoing, so you don’t need to purchase that modifier. That reduces the Essence cost down to just 200E.

Once you’ve adjusted that, you’ll be able to post your character information in the Character Profiles section of the forum and begin writing. However, if you want to add anything new to your application (such as purchasing a new Master Skill or Ability), you should make those changes here and let me know you’ve done so by replying to this thread.

Also, once you’ve made your character profile I’ll change your username to Ashlynn Embersong, since the convention here on our forum is to have usernames match character names. If you'd prefer a different variation of your character's name, let me know please!

I have corrected Endurance by removing the Ongoing modifier, and using the refunded 200 Essence to instead upgrade it to Rank 4. Also, can I perhaps have just "Ashlynn" as the username?
