Gaia Reborn
Gaia Reborn, the hottest MMORPG of the last decade, has seen millions of players experience its unique world - a combination of fantasy and reality. When Gaia Reborn was a game, one goal was to make the game world a one-half scale model of the real world. This pursuit was known as the Half-Gaia Project, and it is one of the aspects which led to Gaia Reborn becoming such a popular virtual world. With regional servers having unique areas, quests, cities, and monsters, it wasn't uncommon for people to create alternate characters on other servers to experience what felt like an entirely new game.
Ten years after the game's launch, millions of players have joined and created countless characters across the many servers. Now, with the release of the latest expansion, Pioneers of Arcadia, many are getting ready to begin new adventures in the new Italian server, exploring the new region corresponding to Italy, known in Gaia as Italia. Characters would have to start from fresh in this new world, but Italy would finally get its own piece of this world.
Countless players created their characters, logged in with excitement fueling their hands as the cursor swept across the screen, and then... darkness... Everything was black, and as their eyes opened, the players found themselves in the streets of an unfamiliar city. Looking around to survey their surroundings, many players realized this city was not so new after all. While desolate and ruined, the architecture conquered by vines and greenery, this city was unmistakably Rome, but at the same time, it was not. Finding themselves in the bodies of their characters, trapped in the world of Gaia Reborn, players are left to adapt to their new reality in this fantasy world.
A young man of 176 centimeters, Lyssamanya stands proud with a crazed look hidden in his eyes, shrouded behind a messy head of faded blonde hair, shining like a desert in the light of the sun. Despite being a spellcaster, Lyssamanya often avoids the fancy shmancy robes and garments one would typically associated with the wardrobe of an Enchanter such as himself, instead opting to cover himself in whatever clothing is available; whether Lyssamanya may look well-dressed in a nice suit or messy wearing slacks and a belt along with a pink Hello Kitty T-shirt that says "Meow are you today," all that can be guaranteed is that Lyssamanya's wardrobe can typically be expected to surprise others. The crazed boy is known to carry himself with an exuberance and a pep in his stride that once would typically only expect from someone who does not care what others may think.
- Personality -
While at a glance, one might make the assumption that Lyssamanya is your average teenage boy with the optimism of a dandelion in spring, deep down Lyssamanya's mind and personality are special to say the least. While it is true he is always giving off an air of cheer and spirit, this is merely because of the fractured state of his mind. However, while some may consider this a curse, Lyssamanya finds his condition quite liberating given the circumstances. His driving philosophy is one of living one's life, as he sincerely believes that it would be far greater to live for a short life than to merely survive for a long life. Lyssamanya will typically throw caution to the wind and act without hesitation, not only as a means of avoiding overthinking things, but also as a way to keep himself entertained through the monotony of everyday life. While others are restricted by such trifling matters as "Common decency," and "Maturity," Lyssamanya acts without such concerns inhibiting his actions. There is one word that leads Lyssamanya's decision-making at all times: Fun. If he believes a certain course of action may prove to be entertaining, he will undertake that plan and act it out to its entirety, whether it is to embark on an adventure with no intended destination, to fight a monster far stronger than he is, or to enforce a limitation and a challenge on himself and his party by weakening his allies with his debuffs and strengthening his enemies with his magic. Lyssamanya is the very definition of unpredictable, and while he never means any malice due to his simple way of viewing life, he can quickly become as much of a hindrance to an adventuring party as much as he can prove to be a valuable asset.
- Biography -
At age six, Lyssamanya was born without a face- Wait, no, sorry, that's the wrong story...
Born in Neapolis in 2002, Lyssamanya led a fairly uneventful early childhood - though, some may see his behavior now and chalk it up to the likely possibility that he was dropped several times as a baby... Is it true? It is false? Maybe something in between? All we can say is, the kid was doing his best, so lay off. Lyssamanya's life as a child went without so much as a single significant event or backstory to mold him into the quirky main character he is today. No, what caused that was his troublesome and limited adolescence... With his philosophy that life should be lived to its fullest with no regard for the dangers of such a bombastic and careless lifestyle, Lyssamanya found himself in and out of the hospital fairly frequently, and every time he would be hospitalized, all he could think about was how he wanted to leave as soon as possible to begin his next wreckless and dangerous adventure. Now, with the insane fortune that has led Lyssamanya to find himself trapped in the world of Gaia Reborn, he is free to adventure and endanger himself to his heart's content without any worries or fear of the consequences.
- Extra -
Lyssamanya's headcanon is that Harry Potter is the secret four piece of the Triforce.

Stellar Gaze The Enchanter is adept at manipulating Mana as much as they are at boosting allies and hindering enemies, and have learned to combine both. Every 4th spell cast on allies will consume a very minor amount of the Enchanter’s mana to give the allies a low amount of Mana. Every 4th spell cast on enemies will cause the Enchanter’s eyes to flash cyan and siphon a minor amount of the enemy’s mana to the Enchanter. Passive skill.
- Rank I -
Electric Satellite The Enchanter conjures a bright pulsating orb of energy that homes in on an enemy within 15m and starts rotating around them. For the next 1 minute, the target suffers Satellite, taking low magical Air damage. This orb sheds a bright light that irritates the enemy, making them suffer a very minor Accuracy Down, and emits a bright light in a 10m radius that gives away their position. 2s cast time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.
Juxtapose Instantly swap the position between any two targets that are both within 15 meters of the Enchanter, and within 10 meters of each other - friend or foe. Both targets retain their momentum. 1.5s cast time, 20s cooldown. Below-average mana cost.
- Rank II -
Jupiter Grasp Mana materializes around the target enemy within 10m in the shape of five cloud-like, thick orange snares that will restrain the target to the location they were when the cast finished, inflicting Gravitated for 5 seconds. Gravitated also disables the usage of movement skills. The target may move to forcibly break them, but any half meter moved breaks a snare and deals low non-elemental magical damage. All snares will have been broken at moving 2,5 meters, and have inflicted above-average damage. 2s cast time, 20s cooldown. Average mana cost.
- Rank III -
- Racial & Talents -
Human Potential Though many might consider the lack of specialization in the stats of a human a curse, attributing them to a jack of all trade and master of none, this ordinariness is the strength of the humans, granting them the power to forge their own path, specializing in what they choose, unhindered by their race. Human characters start with 12 SP. Every 40 EXP, they receive an additional 1SP and 2AP.
Basic Taming The Monster Trainer attempts to recruit a Common Monster to their cause in order to create a temporary partner. This will not work on Golems, Machines, or Artificial Life Monster Types. This is often done by approaching the Monster without startling or aggravating it. If performed successfully, a tamed Monster will fight by the Trainer's side for 5 minutes before control is lost and the Monster returns to the environment. Certain situations might make this duration last longer or shorter; acts of kindness toward the tamed Monster will make it stick around for up to 10 minutes, while excessive demand will make the Trainer quickly lose favor with the Monster. Only one Monster can be tamed with Basic Taming at a time. 5s animation time, 10m cooldown. No mana cost.
Scribe Aptitude Scribes are known for their ability to take comprehensive notes quickly and examine various writings carefully. Due to their talents, Scribes obtain the Adventurer skill Arcane Alphabet from the start. Their knowledge also grants additional proficiency in the use of Grimoires in combat, receiving a +1 to Magic Proficiency when they wield a Grimoire as weapon. Passive skill.

A P P R O V E D ! Seeing as you're an administrator yourself, I'd hope I wouldn't have to give Whatsername's spiel, but here I go anyway.
Welcome to Gaia Reborn! Before you get started on your adventure, please stop by the Introductions board and introduce yourself if you haven't already; we'd love to get to know you! If you're looking for people to RP with, feel free to drop by the RP Discussion board or the chatbox at the bottom of the page. Or, just have a look through the roleplay subforums and jump into any of the Open threads currently running. Don't be shy; we don't bite. Usually.
If you have any questions about the site, feel free to ask any of the staff members; we're more than happy to help!
Enjoy your stay in the Enlightened Republic!
NOTE FROM WHATSERNAME: As this character will be breaking the fourth wall constantly and will significantly change the tone of any thread he joins, Lyssamanya is not allowed to join [OPEN] threads without the explicit approval of all involved.
Welcome to the help dialog for the Custom Mini-Profile Creator plugin!
Click on any of the tabs above to go through the plugin configuration process!
You can access this menu at any time by clicking on the icon in the bottom right bar (may not be applicable if you're on Forums.net), or you can disable the welcome window and/or the icon by going to Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator and changing the Show Help option.
This step is essential as it gives the plugin everything it needs on the page to get as much profile information as possible.
To make the profile variables work you'll need to add a new line to the very end of Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and paste the code below on it. The code should be placed completely outside of the mini-profile, so if you're using the default mini-profile template this will be after the very last closing </div> tag. This needs to be done on every theme you have the plugin enabled on as the template is theme-specific.
If your mini-profile template is already customized and you've hit the variable limit for your template you're free to remove any lines from the code below if they contain information that you don't plan on using. For example, if you have no plans to ever add a user's IP to their mini-profile for staff reference you can remove <div class="mp-info ip">$[user.ip]</div> from the code and everything else will still work just fine.
Once you've added the HTML from the Layout Templates tab you're ready to move on to building your mini-profiles. If you want to get going and try some out now or you're not very adept at HTML, CSS, or Javascript, worry not! This plugin includes some examples for you to try out. You're free to skip to the Custom Profile Fields tab and read over this tab later when you're ready to build your own.
Here's a quick rundown of each of the components in Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator:
Name This is the name you'll be adding to your custom profile field dropdown once you've finished coding the mini-profile. Pretty self-explanatory. Make sure this name is unique from every other name you use for your mini-profiles or you'll end up overwriting the earlier ones in the list.
HTML This is the HTML that will go inside your mini-profile. You can use just about any HTML tag here so long as it's appropriate for where the mini-profile is showing on the page. Please refrain from using <style> or <script> tags here. You have the next two sections for that! Also, remember that mini-profiles can show multiple times on the same page, so you shouldn't add ID attributes to any of your elements here. Two elements on the same page cannot have the same ID per HTML standards.
CSS This is where you'll place what would normally go in your forum's style sheet or what would normally be between <style> tags. Try to code your mini-profile's HTML in a way that will allow you to target it specifically with your selectors. For example, you can surround all of the content in your HTML with a <div> element with a class and target that class and its child elements specifically with your CSS. That way you don't accidentally target every mini-profile on the page with CSS that was meant for the one you're building. One more thing: The forum theme's CSS still applies beforehand, so your mini-profile may look right in one theme but not in another. The best way to circumvent this is to define as many styles as you can to override the theme's CSS.
Javascript Anything that normally goes between <script> tags will go here. This one's a bit tricky since you'll obviously want to target the custom mini-profile specifically. Luckily there's an easy way to do that. In your statements you can use the $(this) variable to target the mini-profile if you're coding using jQuery. Otherwise, if you only plan on using standard Javascript you can target $(this)[0] instead.
Once you've finished building your mini-profiles it's finally time to add them to the Edit Profile page for use! To enable selection of custom mini-profiles you'll first need to add two specific custom profile fields in Members > Custom Profile Fields in your forum's admin area:
Mini-Profile Theme
Staff Mini-Profile Theme
Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles that are designed for member use. You can set the Who Can Edit option for this field to Staff With Power if you only want staff to be able to choose mini-profiles for users. Otherwise, if you want members to freely be able to choose their own mini-profiles you can choose Members and Staff With Power.
Staff Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles designed specifically for staff use. This field is completely optional.
Set the type for both of these fields as Drop Down Selection. Click on the (View/Edit) link to add mini-profile names to each of these fields.
If you've just installed this plugin you should have three different mini-profiles already installed by default: Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. You can add these to your dropdowns to test them out and see the plugin in action.
If you're having trouble getting this plugin to work despite following the instructions in the previous tabs you may want to check that each of your themes meets the prerequisites below in Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile.
First, ensure that opening tag of your mini-profile template includes the $[miniprofile_class] variable in its class. On the default ProBoards theme it should look something like this:
<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
Next, make sure that the default {foreach} loop for custom fields is present inside your mini-profile. It doesn't need to be visible, so you're free to add it inside a hidden element if you don't plan on displaying it or if it would mess up the appearance of your own custom template.
Beyond that you can do whatever you like to the mini-profile template for the most part and it shouldn't negatively impact the plugin.
The following is a list of available variables for use in the HTML section of the mini-profile creator and their definitions. Adding any of these to a mini-profile will generate the content described in its definition in place of the variable so long as the information that variable outputs is visible to you.
To reference your forum's custom profile fields you can use $[user.customfieldname], substituting "customfieldname" with your custom field's name. You'll need to type the name in all lowercase with no spaces and only use characters A-Z and 0-9.
For example, Mini-Profile Theme becomes $[user.miniprofiletheme]. This will output the value of the custom field. In the case of this example, it'll be the name of the mini-profile theme you've chosen in your profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These will only work if you followed the steps in the Installation tab of this window on each of your themes. Any themes that do not include the template code specified there will not have these variables replaced in the mini-profile.

You can utilize the $(this) variable in the Javascript component to target the mini-profile <div> element. For example, if you wanted to add a class to the mini-profile you can use:
$(this).addClass('class-name-here');
Profile variables can also be used in the Javascript component in this plugin. In Javascript the value undefined is used to signify that a value doesn't exist for the variable you've specified. With this in mind you can use profile variables in Javascript conditional statements within the plugin similar to how they're used in the actual layout templates section of the admin area.
if(variable) will only run if the variable you specify has a value.
if(!variable) will only run if the variable you specify has no value.
Example 1 (variable has value):
if(user.group){
$(this).find('.group').show();
}
If the user has their group displayed in their profile the above Javascript would make the HTML below visible if you had it hidden with CSS.
