    Life Story


    Prologue: Before Claude was even born, his father, Adam, met a young woman named Blanchefleur, she was beautiful and found Adam handsome too. Blanchefleur and Adam moved into a home in La Porte du Paradis, not too far away from his childhood home. They wed and had two kids, Juliette and Claude.

    Claude was born in 275, on May 18th, at 12 am. He was a healthy young baby. He was gifted blonde hair and blue eyes, His mother was a sewer, and his father was a person who told lies to people, for a fee, of course. He grew up with his younger sister, Juliette, they played games and whatnot. Their father decided it was time to start new, and they moved to Regalia.

    His mother opened up a sewing shop, and his father decided to make a new job and became a Mercenary, although he never trained his kids in it. But, Blanchefleur did teach her kids how to sew and make clothes. A few years later in his teenhood, Claude met a young woman named Adele, he tried courting Adele. Giving her presents like rings and jewelry. Although Adele was flattered, she wasn’t interested. And Claude was heartbroken, he never experienced pain like this before. Sadly, at this time his father’s social skills and memory became incoherent and greatly faltered, he was showing signs of what we now know of as dementia. He was going insane, almost. And nothing he said made sense to any of his family members, making his mother retired and closed down her shop to take care of Adam.

    When Claude became old enough to move out, he got a job as a barkeeper, although he didn’t like this job he kept it due to him needing the regals. Sadly, during this time his Grandma suddenly passed away. This sent him into a deep spiral of depression, he felt alone and wanted to die. He was scared and anxious, he didn't know what to do. It felt like he was being held back, he wanted to do everything but also wanted to do nothing at the same time. It was this feeling of loathing and hating everything, but he had to make a choice to get up every day and go to work. He started pushing himself to do the stuff he loved and went out for a walk every day. Claude started to feel happy for the first time in months.

    He quit his job as a Barkeep several years later and started making clothes for people he knew. Claude got in contact with his mother, writing her letters every week, and occasionally will write to his father.

    If there is one thing I have learned, cultural bonus doesn't actually count towards your body shape.

    from how i've been told, you can only count actual points you put in to a skill that can contribute to calculating body shape.

    Please make the following edits:
    • Put athletic points in the skill information section
    • The body shape section doesn't abide to the template. It should add the appropriate sum first, then list the resulting body build, then the body fat. There is no '+5 muscle definition' proficiency.
    • Be more descriptive on the clothing section. 'Claudes own way' is vague.
    • Expand on the fear section.
    • Ithanian Ailor height limit is 6'-0
    • Add a sentence or two the Law and Authorities personality section.
    • Under Life Story, explain what happened to the father that made him incoherent and forgetful.
    • Add more to the depression phase in his life story, a sentence or two is applicable.
    • Remove the last sentence, 'and here we are now...' as it is not pertinent to the characters personality and life story.
    • In the life story section you state Claude occasionally writes to his father, however in the "How does your character feel towards their family?" personality section you state that Claude doesn't talk or visit his father. Rephrase one of the instances for lack of confusion.
    Grammatical Errors:
    • How would your character feel when experiencing stress? Shouldn't be in a bullet.
    • First sentence, change meet to met.
    • Second sentence, 'not to far' - change 'to' to too.
    • Third paragraph 'he never experience pain' change experience to experienced.
    Make the following edits and highlight them in blue, then tag me once done.

    All edits are fine, on the aspect of proficiency points however, you have 32 total points due to age. +10 bodycare is free because it is a cultural boost. You therefore have 10 left over points to spend in whatever you like, though it isn't required.

    Body stat is gained from specific proficiencies.
    • Athletic training = multiplied by 2
    • Extra Heavy Combat skill = multiplied by 2
    • Heavy Bow Combat skill = multiplied by 2
    • unarmed combat skill = multiplied by 2
    • metallurgy arts = points invested
    • sailing = points invested
    • Literary arts = divided by 2
    • Bodycare training = divided by 2 (However culture/race boost doesn't contribute to the body care stat, therefore the free +10 bodycare for ithanian ailor is not added unless you put more points into bodycare)
    • All other combat proficiencies = points invested
    Here is an example:
    Total age: 38
    • +10 Fast Blades Combat Skill (from Race Boost)

    • +10 Athletic Training (from Race Boost)

    • +15 Pole Combat Skill (from points)

    • +8 Alchemy Sciences (from points)

    • +5 Shielding Combat Skill (from points)

    • +5 Unarmed Combat Skill (from points)

    • +5 Bodycare Skill (from points)
    +5 Bodycare Skill / 2 + 15 Pole Combat + 5 Shielding Combat + 2 x 5 Unarmed Combat = 32.5 Physical Stat.

    32.5 = Muscular Body Shape

    Notice how the race boosts fast blades and athletic training are not included.

    No. Your body stat should be 3, unsure of where you go 15 from. You also have 10 proficiency points to spend from if you so choose.

    @JarrettdaCarrot fixed (hopefully, and sorry!) I think I got it from reading the proficiencies wrong.
