    Default Academy Leaders

    So I love making up characters, so here are few more NPCs who are part of the Sorencrest royal court. Really they are leaders of training academies, so they have a real purpose, not just to have a whole gang of people to pal around with.

    Name: Alrik Edarson
    Gender: Male
    Age: 28
    Race: Hume
    Job: Geomancer
    Rank: 1
    Allegiance: Sorencrest Imperium
    Station: Head of Geomancer Academy
    Biography:
    Trained since birth in the ways of the earth and its mysterious powers, Alrik has known a life of hardship. Most of his clan was wiped out by a terrible sickness that struck them many years ago, and he and the few survivors ended up splitting apart not soon after. He spent many years traveling across the continent perfecting his craft and cursing the existence he was left with, until he was approached by the former king of the Imperium with an offer to head a training facility for Geomancers. Alrik accepted the offer after some thought. He saw this as his opportunity to expand his power. He would never again be a homeless wonderer. Now he was master of hundreds of students and commanded great respect. He will do whatever is necessary to further the goals of the Imperium and subsequently his own gain.
    Physical Description:
    Very pale and head completely shaven. Due to an accident a few years back during an experiment, he left eye is dead and sealed shut. Short and stout, the comforts of civilized life added a bit of fat on his already stocky body.
    Personality:
    Very ambitious, and though he looks somewhat slothful, he is by no means lazy. He is always hard at work either training his students or working on research for his sovereign. Progress is the only thing acceptable to this man.

    Skills:
    Water Ball- Rank 1
    Gusty Wind- Rank 1
    Lava Ball- Rank 1

    Equipment:
    2 One-handed axes- Rank 1
    Chainshirt- Rank 1



    Name: Dagmar Halvorsen
    Gender: Female
    Age: 22
    Race: Hume
    Job: Paladin
    Rank: 1
    Allegiance: Sorencrest Imperium
    Station: Headmistress of Holy Roller Academy
    Biography:
    Daughter to two former Holy Roller captains, Dagmar had her destiny laid out at birth. She was accepted to the academy at the age of 11, the youngest squire for generations. Proving her skill beyond anyones wildest hopes, she was soon a personal guard to the former king. Now she serves Svantkurn as Headmistress of the Holy Roller Academy and also as a reserve general. Rumors have floated around about a possible love connection between herself and Svantkurn, but more reliable sources seem to point to her having a relationship with a foreign leader.
    Physical Description:
    Standing over 6 feet tall with short and spikey red hair, she strikes an imposing figure. Scars mark her body from many violent engagements, but she wears them well. She has a suburst shaped birth-mark on her right shoulder blade.
    Personality Description:
    Incredibly headstrong, and though she is very loyal to the Highlord, she often times ignores his orders when she deems it prudent. This has caused the two to but heads, but they still work well together. A strict teacher, she works her students half to death in an effort to make sure that the Imperium has the finest soldiers on the battle field as possible. A fearsome opponent, Dagmar prefers to garb herself heavily in protective spells before engaging opponents with her stone-headed maul and large shield.

    Skills:
    Protect- Rank 1
    Shell- Rank 1
    Maul and Shield Mastery- Rank 1

    Equipment:
    One-Handed Maul-Rank 1
    Hvy Steel Shield- Rank 1
    Full Plate- Rank 1

    Total cost- $2,900
    RoflMage

    Casting spells and rolling on floors in the here-after.

    Also, running with an idea BoB had, I've made racial jobs with their own special skill set. Any PC or NPC also counts as having their racial job, and may pick abilities from the Racial Job list as well as their normal Job List. Anyone who wants to may rearrange their skills to take Racial Job skills. Also, clarifying some rules about soldiers trained in military academies, go ahead and check that out in the city builder thread.

    Question. Summoners need to make pacts with the Summons before they can call them, so shouldn't the locations of Ifrit, Shiva, Titan, Ixion and Kirin be known to everyone?

    The summons already available are summons that are common knowledge amongst summoners. Any summoner master can summon them to form pacts with fledgling summoners, and everyone has access to them.

    Those wishing to learn more summons must spend a season searching for one.

    For the racial job skills, are these automatically implemented? I only ask because there is no "Max Power" listed for them so I don't know how to rearrange BoB's skillset in order to include them.

    EDIT: Same goes for those under 'All Job Skills' - I don't know how many points are required for that end.

    I forgot to mention it on All Job Skills, but I know I mentioned it in the description of Racial skills. All Racial Skills and All Job Skills have a minimum rank of 1 and max at 10.
