- Character -

Name: Jonathan Fyshepyre

Gender: Male

Apparent Age: 23

Face Claim: Sebastian Michaelis - Black Butler
Played By: Bailin

Faction: Adventurer



- Appearance -


Jonathan has red eyes and black hair up to his shoulders, which he combs every day to keep it from plushing too much.
His stature is long and lean, with a slight bend at the shoulders, befitting a bookworm. His arms and legs are quite lean, though there are hints of muscle as carrying books is quite the excercise. 

Jonathan prefers to wear robes or other light armours, though when entering combat knowingly he might switch to medium armour.
He does prefer to wear boots that reach just under his knees and having a thick leather belt around his waist. On occasion he will wear a small cap or cloth on his head, a feather tucked in somewhere.




- Personality -


Malcom is a calm, gentle soul, preferring to (over) think things rather than barging in, his calm nature results in a softer touch to things (unless in-game) and a preference to hear both sides of the story before jumping to conclusions.
Having read a lot of books Malcom knows quite a few things and as such has an air of confidence about him, as long as it regards something he might have read about at some point. If he is unaware of things on the subject Malcom tends to listen first and ask a lot of questions to get a full grasp of the things going on.
As a scholar/researcher Malcom is somewhat of an introvert, preferring to stay on the sidelines and just observe how things work or work out. 

Though this heldback personality is somewhat different from his gaming personality which tended to be a bit more aggresive.
How things work can be read and as such there is no need research any further into things. He is, however, curious by nature and hungry for knowlegde.
Malcom tends to get cranky when he can't get any new books, information or general information for any period longer than a month. This results in him trying to think of new things to look in to or concoct new toys to play with.






- Biography -


Malcom is a middle aged man from the western part of Germany.
His father is Dutch, his mother German. 
Currently he lives on his own in a small appartment in one of the larger towns of western Germany.
He hardly sees his family as his parents tend to live in Spain, his siblings; two brothers and a sister, live all over the Netherlands and Germany.

His daily life consists of reading books and doing research for some unspecified company that requires him to have some knowlegde of a vast array of different topics. 
After work Malcom likes to relax with his friends, mostly playing online games together, which is the cliché way of joining a game but that's his slice of life.

Due to his work Malcom is somewhat of a loner, needing to file a lot of paper work on his research. On the bright side: the company does pay him the big bucks to get a nice place and upscale gaming rig. 

Malcom is quite the bookwork, enjoys gaming and classical music, of which he always forgets the names, and taking a walk through the city park.
His favourite meal is pizza, taken with a nice, cold glass of decent whiskey. Malcom hardly ever has time to join his friends for a drink in the pub, which is exactly how he likes it.

Grappling Hook Proficiency

The most iconic tool of a Pirate is their grappling hook, a 10m long rope with a four-clawed hook. They are granted one from the start, and can opt to use the grappling hook as a ranged weapon or tool. Grappling Hooks use the proficiency rules of Throwing weapons. Dual-wielding a Grappling Hook in the other hand does not incur a penalty.

Passive skill.


Mariner’s Fortitude

Frequent trips and swims into the water are apparent in the Pirate’s mobility when in it. They can hold their breath twice as long and can swim much faster than normal. They also swim as if unhindered by their Light or Medium Armor.

Passive skill.


Sea Legs

A life of climbing the masts, riggings, and keeping balance on a ship has honed the Pirate’s sense of balance to near impeccable levels. Passively, they recover twice as fast from Down Debuffs to Movement and Evasion, require 4 Staggers to be Toppled, and Stuns and Binds last 1s less, but they can’t reduce Stuns and Binds to lasting under 1s.

Passive skill.

Auto-Attack

A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of attacks so that the total DPS is roughly the same as dealing minor damage once a second. For example, a heavy weapon will do slower but stronger attacks, while a player wielding two daggers will do faster, less damaging attacks.

Any skills or movements that the user may manually perform will take priority over this skill, but the system will generally try to aim for an accurate hit.

It was a staple among players in the original Gaia Reborn game, but since the Apocalypse, its use has taken a drastic drop. Manual basic attacks allow for much more fluid and precise control of attacks, and as such, the skill has barely been used by Adventurers since then. It does, however, allow for people who are not proficient with their weapon of choice to be able to reliably hit their target.

Passively, the player can also delay their next attack to increase the basic attack’s power by performing what’s known as an “empowered attack”. Each second used to charge an attack increases the damage dealt by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% at 5 seconds.

Toggle, No cooldown. No cost.


Call of Home
A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they chose to do anything or are hit by any attack, however weak, the channel stops and Call of Home is put on a one-minute cooldown. Because teleporting in this way to one’s home city essentially breaks them down into raw energy, it is extremely taxing to players after the Apocalypse, and repeated use in a short span can inflict mental or physical strains. The player can opt to use this skill to escape combat outside of dungeons, but it is extremely risky because of the long channel time and the large blue particles and bright light emanating from the user attracting unwanted attention, making it best to use it -before- getting into combat in the first place. It is disabled when in a dungeon or raid.

5s cast time, 1 hour cooldown. No cost.


Interface Control

Even after the Apocalypse, players have kept the ability to use their interfaces. When mentally called upon, the interface hovers slightly in front of them, visible only to themselves and is slightly transparent. It can be interacted with by touch of the fingertips or mentally. The interface allows players to access their party list, friend list, guild settings, crafting list and many other menus. Friend invites can only be sent in a face-to-face meeting, and the same goes for party invites. However, a friend can be added to a party regardless of where they are. Additionally, an Adventurer can talk to friends or party members through telepathy, by pressing one finger to their ear after dialing them. This causes words said to be spoken into their mind rather than out loud.

Passive.

Sinker & Anchor

Grappling skill. The Pirate tosses their grappling hook to an enemy within 10m and lets go, briefly losing the use of Grappling skills for this duration. The enemy is Bound for 5s and suffers the Depths debuff for the same duration, visualised by water bubbles rising from them. Attacks dealt by the Pirate to a target suffering Depths cause them to heal for 33% of the damage they deal.

1.5s animation time, 45s cooldown. Average mana cost.

“After the duration of Depths, the grappling hook re-appears on the belt.”

Hook, Slice ‘N Dice

Grappling skill. Holding their grappling hook overhead, the Pirate swings it in a clockwise circle for three rotations. Enemies hit by the hook take low damage and suffer a stacking low 10s Bleed. If the grappling hook’s rope makes contact with anything, Hook, Slice ‘N Dice will stop prematurely but Bind the object hit if it is an enemy for 3s. The Pirate can manually extend the rope up to 10 meters far for better reach. However by doing so the chance of the rope making contact with an object increases. Due to this, this skill is very difficult to use but can be extremely potent if used correctly.

3s animation time, 30s cooldown. Average mana cost.

Reel Them In!

Grappling skill. The Pirate tosses their grappling hook forward up to 10 meters as the hook is covered in a blue glow. The hook coils around a single enemy or object, dealing low damage and Binding them for 1s, after which they are pulled within 1m of the Pirate. The rope that extends from the Pirate to the target can be used to trip enemies, and the Pirate can use it on an object to grapple themselves up or towards it, or use it as suspension rope to walk. Allies can be pulled too, but won’t be Bound or dealt damage.

1.5s animation time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Heightened Senses

An alarm-type field skill that has seen more use since the Apocalypse, as travel is more dangerous than it used to be. After the cast, the user is granted the Alarmed buff for 8 hours. If an enemy of the Territorial, Aggressive or Predatory Type comes within 10m of the user, the Alarmed buff wears off and the user receives a loud notification sound and flash on the interface. Ever since the Apocalypse, this buff persists even through sleep and wakes the user up. Cooldown starts after Alarmed has worn off.

3s cast time, 1 hour cooldown. Low mana cost.

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.

Level 1
Merchant Aptitude
With their eye for money and sharp negotiations, Merchants obtain gold at a rate of 1 gold for every 3 words in Commerce threads as opposed to the normal 1 gold for every 4 words. Furthermore, they can claim EXP gained in Commerce threads for the Merchant Talent without penalty.
Passive skill.

Level 1

Disassembly

Mechanics have a certain skill with taking apart machines, so monsters that are mechanical in nature had better watch out. Mechanics deal a low amount of extra damage to Machine and Golem-type monsters.

Passive skill.
