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.
Name: Tarlach O'Chunaill Gender: Male Age: 13 Sexuality: Demisexual
- Character -
Name: Talineis Gender: Male Apparent Age: 25 Face Claim: Edward, Final Fantasy IV Played By: Talineis Faction: Adventurer
- Appearance -
A tall, beautiful young man with thin, gentle features. Talineis bears elegant features and an attractive face framed by golden locks of hair that extend to his slender shoulders and azure eyes that glisten with the sapphire hues of calm understanding. His is a smile that listens to you patiently after you've had the worst day of your week and just retired to the safety of your warmest blankets and softest pillows, the gentle curl of his lips speaking to you, letting you know that he is not bothered by your maelstrom of complaints, and yet, behind this face he hides another, one with eyes that dart about the room with trepidation and fear, a fear that some hidden secret may come out, that a shadow of his dependable persona might break free at any moment and reveal the frightened and nervous boy hiding behind this false facsimile of bravado.
Despite now being almost twice his true age, Talineis quickly grew accustomed to his advanced height and slim body, managing to walk with an ethereal gait that flows like the breeze of spring, with long confident steps and his head held high in an infectious demeanor that brings peace and comfort to those around him as they can comfortably trust in Talineis' promises to achieve what he must, even if such confidence eludes Talineis himself.
While in the real world Tarlach bore a wardrobe primarily of rather typical street clothes such as T-shirts and shorts, Talineis finds himself drawn to the more fantastical and traditional attire of Gaia Reborn's world, with layers of cloth that majestically flow into a mixture of colors as the layers blend and shift around.
- Personality -
While Talineis bears the visage and form of a young yet reliable man wise beyond his years with a peaceful elegance that one could discern from a glance, one must remember that this is nothing more than a false shell of identity, a persona molded consciously to shield Talineis from the harsh reality that these traits embody merely who he wishes to be as opposed to who he truly is. Perhaps one day Talineis can close the gap between his ideal and his reality, but as it stands now, that journey will be long and arduous.
There is much Talineis wishes to change about himself, seeking to grow into a reliable and capable young man others can look up to and aspire to be like. As he is upon entering the world of Gaia, however, Talineis is still but a child despite the physical maturity of his new body. Like the heroic figures Tarlach grew up on, he wishes to grow out of his current cowardice and impulsivity and mature into a brave man of rational mind. However, until that day comes, he shall remain the introverted and impulsive young boy he is, even if he may act otherwise.
Talineis holds high regard for those who manage to present the heroism he himself strives to attain, whether it's a grand adventurer selflessly putting themselves in harm's way to protect others or merely a child standing up to an average bully. Any who uphold heroic traits of courage and integrity, honesty and respect, gain this young man's admiration.
- Biography -
At age thirteen, Tarlach O'Chunaill is an adventurous young boy enamored with legends and stories of heroic figures and brave champions. Growing up on tales of heroism and bravery, Tarlach always sought to one day embody such traits as the heroes he lionized since before he could read. Fascinated with such tales, Tarlach developed a knack for creativity and writing, daydreaming of epic adventures and stories of his own legendary heroes in far-off lands, each serving as a shining beacon of inspiration for the boy to follow in their examples. Tarlach possessed a vivid imagination, a talent sharpened by his incessant daydreaming until all he could imagine were his heroic stories.
Though Tarlach was never a particularly model student, his mediocre academic propensity dulled further as he began to discover the countless worlds and adventures to be discovered in the realm of video games. While his grades may have slipped at times, Tarlach was not a particularly ignorant or unintelligent boy; he simply chose to focus his efforts elsewhere, finding his satisfaction not in academic pursuits of knowledge and book smarts, but in his creative stories and adventurous proxy lives in all manner of video games. While his grades might not reflect such a claim, Tarlach was simply focusing his learning on what fascinated him.
One day, he would discover the excitement of the MMORPG genre and seek to find his own personal adventures in the world of Gaia Reborn.
The Spellblade weaves the martial arts of the weapon with the mystical arts of spells by balancing both. After every Spellblade-Unique magical or physical attack, the Spellblade is granted a Magical or Physical Charge respectively. This stacks up to 2 through ordinary skills. Using a Physical attack with Magical Charges consumes them all, and gives them a very minor damage boost per stack; and using a Magical attack with Physical Charges does likewise. Charges aren’t consumed when using Spellblade skills that don’t specify Magical or Physical.
Passive skill.
Magiphysic Converter
The Spellblade instantly converts all their Magical Charges into 1 Physical charge, or vice-versa.
Instant, 15s cooldown. No mana cost.
- Rank I -
Blink
Blink instantly teleports the user up to 1 meter in any direction, leaving a dark blue afterimage. This can teleport the user past enemies or allies and maintains any momentum they have, but the user must be able to see where they are teleporting to. Upon arriving at their destination, the user suffers a 0.5s global cooldown, so caution is advised when using this skill.
Instant, 20s cooldown, 0.5s global cooldown. Below-average mana cost.
Cocytus Stabilizer
Magical. The Spellblade’s weapon glows blue as they push it to the ground. The Spellblade can target an enemy within 7 meters to make an icy pillar bursts out of the ground that skewers them for average magical Ice damage. Upon successfully hitting an enemy, the Spellblade receives a low Defense Up for 5s.
1.5s animation time, 12s cooldown. Below-average mana cost.
Frigid Blade
A small dagger of ice materializes in front of the user and shoots off into an enemy to deal an average amount of magical Ice damage. The dagger has a range of 15m. If it strikes an enemy below half of their maximum health, the dagger inflicts a very minor 3s Chill.
1s animation time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Martyrdom
While often looked down upon by Gaians of other races, the Antas strive to prove their altruism, even at the cost of themselves. If an Antas is caught in an AoE attack alongside allies, they can opt to fully absorb the attack themselves. Doing so causes the Antas to take half of the damage their allies would have taken, on top of the full damage and effect of the AoE against themselves.
Mental Fortress
The Antas have seen the world led astray against them, yet their own doubt never wavered. They knew who they were, they knew where they came from, and their strong minds carried them through the untruths that were carried on the wings of the Enochs. Some Claim the source is their horns, but however they have attained it, the Antas’ resilience to manipulation strengthens them against status effects of the mind; Terror, Sleep, Fear, Daze, Confuse, and Charm effects last half as long on Antas.
Truly Alone The Antas have felt the scorn of the world to their very core, and their bodies carry that wound through the generations, their spiritual scars weakening the boons of the world. Excluding the Antas’ passive regeneration and recovery skills, all Healing and Mana Recovery received is reduced by a very-minor amount.
Acclimated Body
From spending countless hours slaving over a roaring furnace and hot coals, the Blacksmith has come to be used to the hottest of temperatures, conferring a minor resistance to the Fire element.
Passive skill.
Scholarly Aptitude
Through careful examination and categorization of the various skills available to the Panpaidi as well as monster behaviors, the Scholar is able to accurately interpret skills as they are being cast. This ability is represented by a progress bar only visible to the Scholar which appears above the enemy's head whenever a skill is in the process of being cast, showing the Scholar the name of the skill and the remaining cast time. Once a Scholar has observed a skill being cast three times, it is added to a list in the Scholars UI, which can be accessed at any time. The list gives the name and casting time of the skill, as well as a detailed description of the skills effects. Due to their research into the various monsters of the world, Scholars can also recognize a monster’s Type at a glance.
Passive skill.

Hi! This account is for administrative purposes only. If you want to RP with me, my main is Katarina.
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.
