Classes and Powers
In here is a brief explanation of the kinds of skills and job types available here (um... everything sweatdrop ), followed by all the job and course vacancies that need filling. If you like the look of one of them, quote it and ask!
There are 3 main skill areas which you must choose from, but you can narrow this down to describe your more specific talents.
Magic - If you are able to use a wide range of magic, but are completely hopeless with technology, this is what you would describe yourself as. Some examples of skill types are: Mage, Summoner, Psychic, Elemental
Magic users will start with 3 magical skills (or fighting styles) with which they are particularly good, as well as one other specific ability which doesn't need to be magical. Some suggested skills are: Fire Magic, Summoning, Blood Magic (vampires only), Possession
Technology - If you are able to use a wide range of different technology, but have no magic at all, this is what you would describe yourself as. Some examples of skill types are: Soldier, Engineer, Hacker, Scientist
Technology users will start with 3 technological skills (or fighting styles) with which they are particularly good, as well as one other specific ability which doesn't need to involve technology. Some suggested skills are: Projectile Weaponry, Hacking, Machinery Maintenance and Repair, Defensive Weaponry
Multi-skilled - If you have a mixture of both magic and technology, making you a good all-rounder, this is what you would describe yourself as. However, you have to choose between specialising in one or two areas of each and getting good at these quickly but having a narrow range of abilities, or having a wide range of abilities but progressing in capability very slowly. Some examples of skill types are: Thief, Spy, Civilian
Multi-skills will start with one or two magical skills, and one or two technological skills (or fighting styles, adding up to three overall), as well as one other specific ability.
Non-skilled - This isn't exactly what it sounds like. You can still have the same number of skills as anyone else, but you don't have any magic or advanced technological knowledge. You can therefore have four 'specific' abilities or fighting styles. Skill types are the same as for Multi-skills.
Information for all skill areas
If you use magic or technology, and gain a skill from the opposite area, you automatically become a Multi-skill. This isn't a bad thing, but it just means you're not purely that type any more.
If you are a Non-skill, and gain a skill from from a magical or technological area, you become a member of that skill type. Gain one from the other skill type, and you become a Multi-skill.
Everyone is equally likely to be a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, but not everyone will be.
Everyone is allowed general abilities which have no particular grounding in any skill area, eg Stealing, Assassination, Diplomacy.
Everyone is expected to improve, strengthen and add to their abilities over time.
Alignments
There are 3 main alignments, as well as neutral. Most characters will begin as neutral and then be 'recruited', although you can start in an alignment from the beginning.
SUM- Society for users of Magic based on the Shadow level. An amiable group that allows magic users of all levels to come together, share knowledge or just talk about magic to someone who knows what your on about! (Sum will eventually turn in to STOATS when the storyline picks up and we have a few more members)
((STOATS - This stands for 'Secret Treaty Of an Anti-Technological Society', and is the secret magical faction, aiming to overthrow the current government and get rid of all technology in Geopolis. They don't know about TORTOISE yet.))
Techno Union - This is a union designed for Technology users within Geopolis. This group though very presentable on the outside, they may have darker motives and means of accquirring a magic-free society that are not known by the public. This union is against magic users and disagrees with the use of any type of magic. The enemy faction of the union is SUM. This is the best faction for technology users. This faction is currently being lead by Kotaro. The headquarters is based on the fire level.
Wisejay - This is the governmental department for finding and quelling potential uprisings and civil wars. It was created as soon as Geopolis was colonised to sort out disagreements between different races and people originally from different planets, but hasn't been used much lately. Thus, it has become much smaller. Originally called Technological And Magical Peace Organisation, its name was changed as a joke by a disgruntled former employee to 'We Hate You Stupid Jerks'. The acronym of this was much preferred by all members, and they voted unanimously to change the name to WHYS J, which has changed over the years to its current form. It doesn't know specifically about STOATS or the Techno Union yet, but its members are trained to keep an eye out for potential unrest, and they have noticed something, which they are now investigating... Its HQ is located in the Air Level.
