Character Creation [Stage 2+]

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 8, 2012, 5:02 PM




STAGE 2 CHARACTER CREATION PROCESS
➠ We know most of you already know how to do this step, but it's better to be absolutely clear.


Character Sheet has been updated to include Stages.

➠ Firstly, you'll need a clipping of your past stage(s) in the panels on the left side (the row of four squares). In the PSD, there is a folder named 'Panels', and in that, another named 'Left'. Open the 'Left' folder and there should be 4 layers along with 4 mask layers. Choose the layer with the stage level corresponding to your sprite clipping's and replace the mask layer with that. Next, go down to the actual layer and change the opacity from 80% to 100%. Voila, done.

➠ Change this section accordingly (although most will stay the same)
+ Name/Gender: Unchanged.

+ Class: Unchanged.

+ Stage: Obviously, if you're here, your sprite is leveling up.

+ Terrain: Unchanged.

+ Weapon: Your weapon evolves with you, so the type may or may not change. Either way, this will need a new image. When designing your weapon, make sure the change isn't drastic. A bow turning into a crossbow is okay. A bow turning into a spear is not.
If you have named your weapon, the name cannot be changed.
+ PLEASE NOTE US OR POST HERE SO WE CAN CHECK YOUR WEAPON OVER, IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF IT IS ALLOWED.
+ Skill: Your skill goes up by 1 level. What used to be lv1 is now lv2. This means, for those who didn't add a lv next to your skill in your stage one character sheet, you must now add lv.2 (and so forth for later stages) to your skill.
Your skill name cannot be changed. If you have used Magical Beam of Love lv1, it is now Magical Beam of Love lv2.
+ PLEASE NOTE US OR POST HERE SO WE CAN CHECK YOUR SKILL OVER, IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF IT IS ALLOWED.

➠ Draw your character.
+ Please draw your character in a 'chibi' style. All character sheets are required to be in chibi format, but only then.

+ Keep your character's clothes fitting for their terrain. For all the details, check the world blog, the Area 2 blog, and the FAQ.

+ Samples:

Your OC will be growing (evolving) so you might want to leave some leeway to work with later.

➠ Once the Character Sheet is complete, fill out the following information under Artist Description:
+ Name: Unchanged.
+ Stage: Obviously, if you're here, your sprite is leveling up.
+ Gender: Unchanged.
+ Height: :new: Please use the growth chart for reference.
+ Terrain: Unchanged.
+ Class: Unchanged.

+ Weapon: Your weapon (and name if you've named it). Please include a short description.
+ Skill: Your skill name (same as your stage 1) and the level of said skill. Please include a short description. Also, skills are an upgrade of your original skill, so don't try to go from being able to cause small tremors to a full blown earthquake that can crack the ground for miles around.
If you wish to change your skill and, it can be done so by purchasing a Skill Name Reset via the Visitor at the Mysterious Shop.

+ Personality: Can be kept the same.
+ History: :new: (For Stage 2) Short history between hatching up until the end of Event One.

+ Additional Info: Can be kept the same.


If there is anything you don’t understand or any questions you have, please feel free to ask.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but do we resubmit a whole new app for stage 2? Or do we just update our stage one deviation? ;v;

So, Aurora has a star 'hair clip' as her current weapon. I was thinking of it being put on top of a staff? But is that too big a change? Maybe it changes from 'Star Light' into 'Moon Beam' instead if that works? Are either of these ideas acceptable?

That is fine if the staff is very short!

One more question. Do sprites use aether as their magic or do they use the elements themselves or a combination thereof?

Can we ask for app checks now, or do we wait until enrollments open?
