CHOOO CHOOOO

CRITSSSSSSSSS

Approval pert:

Nat ability-
With creature based characters, any ability that is considered 'normal' of their animal counterpart, such as a dog's heightened sense of smell and hearing range- these abilities are considered normal and would be applicable to a variety of others closely related. They are inherently implied.
IE: it's a rather safe assumption to think all the canines in the k9 club can smell as well as a dog, or all cats in halloween would have rather good balance.

The problem with stating that Hethel has 'all normal owl abilities' is the fact that as a natural ability, is that it's just redundant.

Think of a natural ability as a single skill that her race is born with obvious talent in. It's specialized to the point that other species usually cannot mimic it, (obs things like shapeshifting being a skill that many species can use- the ability to change from THEIR form to THEIR OTHER SPECIES SPECIFIC form is still a unique skill that requires time for them to master). Y1 students, and most citizens are only ever expected to have mastered one ability. That's kind of what a natural ability is. It's one ability that is species specific that they have more or less mastered.

THAT SAID- the one I would focus on is her silent flight. It's a unique form of flight that likely took some mild training for her to master but for her race, is unique.

-FEAR: Please pick one of the FEAR abilities listed here.. As right now it looks like the Barrier. I would avoid making any 'advantages/disadvantages/ect' since all those things have no bearing on actual battle and right now, look like they exist to try and give the ability certain attributes that it doesn't have. Things like 'Should physical collisions occur, they are likely to be painful.' are implying extra traits to a battle skill that really, are best left off or discussed with your RP partner(s) prior to battle.
'Hawthorn Overgrowth: Can summon up thick sprawls of hawthorn from the ground. [That protect Hethel or her target from oncoming damage]' <--- That is all the information you need.

--Appearance since idk if you knew- All students are 90% skin. Fur/feathers/scales- it shouldn't cover more than 90% of their bodies. Their skin might carry the markings of their fur or what have you, but skin is skin. This info is buried somewhere cry. (IM NOT SURE IF SHE'S MADE OF FEATHERS OR IN FEATHER COAT???)
The other thing I wanted to note is if she has a natural form. the reason being is the line 'When she pulls her arms back into her feathers, they sort of meld with her wings and they become functional.' is very close to a shape shifting skill, in which case should take precedence as her natural ability if it's necessary for flight/living style.

Oh- about mules for RP- in general we prefer that RP/games/etc be kept to one account, esp since we often run huge events. IIRC we won't stop you from multiples, but we prefer things all to be on one account.

I can be online on both accounts at once using two diff. browsers for events, but that only resolves quoting/PMing accessibility issues. I can totes understand how that might still be impractical. So uh... whoops, gon need another vampire potion then. rofl

Thanks a ton for the crits! I've fixed all the points you've mentioned, I think? The new natural ability kind of justifies her design [where her feathery 'clothes' almost seem part of her body], though my description is long-winded. >.<;; What do you think?

Quote:

Owlycowl - Hethel's natural form is that of a big poofy owl with a couple twigs sticking out here and there. Even in humanoid form, she almost appears to be wearing her natural form as a cloak. This is pretty much her natural ability; possessing what she wears to a degree, melding with it. She imbues herself into them; owliness asserts itself on the clothes she wears, making them get all puffed up and feathery, the sleeves appearing and behaving like wings of sort when she wears them [this is nothing special for a ghost since they all float/fly anyways, but the visual effect is Hayao-Miyazaki-esque.] The moment she stops possessing the clothing, it begins to revert to its original form until all traces of her magical ability have faded.

Hey YOU! Have a nice day! I'm rooting for you! :D

The gnomes on duty in the Enrollment office were extremely disgruntled that their letters to Pigfarts had not arrived with the new student, and decided that they were just going to go to Surmdtrang instead.
