- Biography -

Mikey grew up in a Middle-Class family in a North American subrub. Growing up, he had a few friends and was average at School. His family life was another story, and not a pariculairly bright or happy one. Years of harsh parenting and pressure has led to him developing a melancholic temperment. He'd look to is real passion, online video games as a way to deal with his stresses and vent his anger. He leaned towards the PvP action of such games and played many First-Person-Shooters, Real-Time-Strategy games, but one game that caught his attention and kept him particularily invested was Gaia Reborn. Gaia Reborn wasn''t designed specially around Pvp, but Mikey found something special in that small but special part of the game. He was very passionate and invested into the Pvp community, even if he wasn't nowhere near the top or bottom of it. The Pvp community at times however, would see him as a very unlikeable force because of his at times brash and inconsiderate atttitudes. He did eventually find a group who was willing to be patient with him, and deal his good and bad sides. He'd grow very close to this group. He'd spend ours on end battling other players and trying to figure out strategies to those better than him. Over time however, he started caring less and less about Gaia, but the few tight kint friends he made in the game kept him coming back. On the release of the new expansion, he made a new character on the Italia server and was ready to continue his old routine of engaging in Pvp activities with his friends.. Gaia however, had something very different in store for him.

Ambidexterity Prime

While dual-wielding a one-handed weapon in the offhand, the user no longer incurs a 50% accuracy penalty to their one-handed weapons. While many Duelists are known to dual-wield due to getting Ambidextry Prime, some opt for sword-and-shield or sword-and-magic.
Passive skill.

Poker Gauge

A Duelist can passively see enemies as only they can, and perceive a thin yellow bar under an enemy’s hp; their Chip Stack. A Chip Stack is equal to 1/5th the amount of the creature’s maximum health. All damage the Duelist deals to an enemy’s health bar is also dealt to their Chip Stack. Chip Stack does not benefit from the enemy’s Defense stats. When it is reduced to zero, the enemy Folds for 10s, granting the Duelist a strong increase critical hit chance on them. After that duration, their Chip Stack is restored to full and increases by 1/5th of the target’s maximum health.
Passive skill.

Auto-Attack

A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to perform a basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of basic 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.

Roads to Romalia

A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Roads to Romalia allows a player to teleport back to Romalia from any city or town with a cathedral. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they choose to make any other action or are hit by an attack, Roads to Romalia is interrupted and put on a 1 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 and physical strains.

5s cast time, No 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.

Shuffle Tracking

The Duelist is one of the classes best known for their speed and agility. With this skill, the Duelist weapons automatically move to parry up to 2 projectiles fired upon them within the next 1.5s, regardless of how fast the projectile is traveling or how rapidly they are fired.

Instant, 20s cooldown. below-average mana cost.

Dealer’s Stance

A passive skill that activates when the Duelist is only equipping a single one-handed weapon and nothing in their off hand, increasing the attack damage of their one-handed weapon by an above-average amount. Dual wielding has its merits in increased damage output and versatility, and shields grant a bonus to personal survivability, while fighting with the Dealer's Stance allows one to focus on the effects of one favored weapon and usage of items or spells.

Passive skill.

Fold Step

Using this skill, the user's body is suddenly propelled and accelerates 2 meters in a desired direction. It is often used as a surprise burst of momentum when delivering an attack or used as a last-ditch dodging maneuver. The only downside to this technique is that once activated, the Duelist cannot stop or adjust their trajectory. It should be noted that if this skill is used for an attack, the momentum from initiating the attack will not increase damage in any way.

1s animation time, 6s cooldown. Minor mana cost.

- Rank II -

Ante Up

The Duelist summons an additional weapon from their inventory and claps their hands together to perform this spell. The weapon will then be levitated into the air and controlled by an AI to fight alongside the user. Depending on vocal commands, the AI can be designated to either focus on all-out attacking, defensive play, or balance fighting. Ante Up has an effective controllable range of 2 meters. Shields cannot be controlled by this skill. Ranged weapons such as a bow that is controlled by this skill cannot fire their projectiles.

Toggle, 3s cast time. Below-average mana drain.

- Rank III -

Dead Angle

Dual wield skill. A buff skill that strives to overpower the enemy, Dead Angle grants the user an intense attack speed up and Showdown, both for 15s. Showdown allows the Duelist to instantly teleport within melee range of enemies they can see and are within 5m. Showdown also grants the user immunity against Knockbacks, Daze, Stagger and Topple.

Instant, 2 min cooldown. High mana cost.

Hitman:

Level 1

Cleaning

Expertise in PvP and combat in general has honed the Hitman’s ability to kill humanoids. The Hitman passively gains a minor damage boost when fighting against Panpaidi. When this skill is toggled on, the Hitman’s RP talent, crafting talent, class, and name are all displayed as another random talent or class of the appropriate category, as well as a random name of the Hitman’s choice, with the talents retaining the same level as the Hitman’s actual talents. This toggle only works against people the Hitman does not have on their Friend List.

Toggle.

Pharmacist: 

Level 1

Drug Mastery

A lifetime of quaffing tonics, sipping potions and handling venoms has steeled the Pharmacist’s veins. Passively, they are healed by an extra 15% from any forms of non-magical healing. Debuffs inflicted on them from any form of poison or venom are reduced by 5s, but not below 5s.

Passive skill.

Human: 

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 the the downsides innate to the specialized races. Human characters start with 12 SP. Every 40 EXP, they receive an additional 1SP and 2AP.
