Your character knows magic, and spells.

I advise you this: use Occult instead of INT.

Occult is the knowledge of the supernatural.

With INT and a bucket load of magic, it makes your character seem silly imho.

You have 8 magic; which is fine, but you also have 5 spell blocks. You cannot use your ultimate spells until you have 9 or 10 in Magic.

The spell that grants you flight has to be shown on your grid; be it as pseudo or full. Seeing as it grants you speed bursts, and flight it would be better if your character had flight and had that spell to increase his flight speed.

On a note, that I believe is covered in the Magic bar descriptions, your spells 1-5; low to ultimate, correlate with the Magic level.

Medium would be a Magic output "strength" of 5-6; sometimes 7. High spells would be put at 7-8 in "strength" and damage.

And, on to your last ultimate spell; if you're going to have wings, you need to have flight.

You should also explain in his history how he first found out he could use his wings, and etc.

Oh, and spells have "cool downs" and won't last "forever." They are typically active for 1-4 posts, dependent upon the level of the spell.

So, to fix your grid I would do it like this:


Grid
Intelligence: -
Occult: 3
Strength: 4
Speed: 2
Durability: 3
Ability:0
Fighting Skills: 4
Magic: 8
Spells: 4
Flight: 2
Wealth: 1

and then have those other spells that enhance the flight, enhance the flight.

That way your character can fly whenever he wants, and there's no issues during RP.

And if you wanted, you could lower your Magic bar to 7, and keep your 5 STR.

But I advise it this way. Your character has plenty of room to grow if you've looked at the Experience section, and the Power Point shop guideline.


Anyway, welcome to Superhero RPG.

I've had a giddy smile on my face since I saw you decided to go the spells route.

It makes me proud to see the Magic system being used.

So, don't break down and use Ability for his powers. I'll help you through fixing your app if we have to walk to Hell and back, okay? <3

First thanks for the clarification of Occult Vs Intelligence. It’s a little confusing how it is written in the stats section. When I think Occult I think Lovecraft type things no so much Magic.

Now on to the magic and the concept of the character. This character’s primary ability the creation of weapons of fire and lightning was meant to be something that he can use at any time without a “cool down period” Think of it has a combination of Kuwabara’s Spirt Sword and Gwens mana Manipulation.

I actually think Gwen is a great person to compare Jason to. Jason is meant to be someone trained in martial arts (particularly several sword fighting styles) granted heighted strength and durability from being fused with two dragons. Spell Craft is supposed to be something new to Jason and still something he’s not comfortable with yet. These Spells include Dragon wings, Dragon Wing Shield and Dragon breath. There were some ideas for other spells but I can’t remember them at this time.
His Creation of fire and lightning weapons is not by any means full Electro or Pyro Kinesis by any means, Yes I would say (In his Original design) he is meant to have high fire and lightning resistance if not immunity. So the ideas for the spells where to be a way he could fight from a distance or shield himself to some limited extent, or even allow basic healing since he is still human without any form of healing factor.

The “Rage Override” was meant to be less of a spell more of a split in his personality formed when the three personalities collided with his mind. This is something for him to fear, something for him to conceal, something for him to try and get rid of, and something for him to call to when he has no choice. This mode is by no means meant to be invincible or perfect, it is defeat able predictable and even a risk. A risk of being overwritten by the anger a risk of the wrong person getting in the cross fire, a risk of someone killing him after he is fallen unconscious after using up so much raw power.

Now to the Dragons this is just something that came to mind to me. What if I removed their forms from the spell list and created them as minions and allowed them astral and elemental forms as their abilities/spells? That would free up a lot of space in the spell area and still get the effect I need.

So let’s say I add the points to flying. Then would elemental wing formation be just something that happens when he wants/need to fly or would it still have to be considers a spell of ability of some kind?

I’m not entirely set on the Spell route, but if you’re willing to help then I’m willing to try and make it work, even if that means I have to go make another character to use for a little while until Jason is ready to go. Trust me I have other ideas.

First off, thank you for being so cool.

Secondly, okay! We can do this.

You want to be able to have weapons that manifest the powers directly from either dragon:

Let's give you a different grid to fix this.

Grid
Intelligence: -
Occult: 8
Strength: 5
Speed: 2
Durability: 7
Ability: 2
Fighting Skills: 4
Flight: 2
Wealth: 1

What I have for you is a grid that allows you to make and have Occult/Magical based weapons.

I've also set it up to where your durability is higher; and this can be where your "flight" is not wasted. Your character could use his wings and actually have them form and wrap around of his body to shield him; thus your wing shield.

And, on top of that, flight.

I've taken away your spells, but they're going to be used differently in your new grid. Just trust me.

As for the spells:

Spoiler:

You won't have spells anymore. Your wings can be an elemental manifestation of "Dragon's Breath" which is, essentially, your characters main ability. A mix of Fire and Lightning that can be split and used separately on his magical weapons.

So, looking at your new grid again:

Grid
Intelligence: -
Occult: 8
Strength: 5
Speed: 2
Durability: 7
Ability: 2
Fighting Skills: 4
Flight: 2
Wealth: 1

Back to his Occult.

You would be making an Item application that has two blades/sword type weapons. One at 7 Occult, and one at 8 Occult. Whichever blade you want to have the Lightning based powers versus the Fire based powers is up to you. You could, as I've done with Chelle's blade, make your blades Minions so that they have INT allocations of 6 (I believe 6 is the maximum a minion can have in the INT/OCC field) a piece, and then a grid to reflect their durability and "Ability" of either Lightning or Fire; and of course, the blades would be projecting your characters inner ability; so if the blades fell out of his hands, they would be regular swords; their elemental attributes activated by Jason's touch.

(I'm sorry for making this a mouthful, but I'd like to get you into the RPing field.. haha.)

Now, with his Occult at 8, he is eligible to create a stat changing/enhancing item that is magical in nature. be it some kind of suit that temporarily increases speed, or goggles that let's him see movements faster than his eyes for a short period of time. Or perhaps some type of other item; like a necklace that looks like Yin and Yang but it's red and yellow and it's scaly. I dunno; just given ya ideas.

I also understand you likely did not want him to be the supersmart type guy.

That's fine. You can play your character however you like. His knowledge of magical items can come from the Dragons themselves; so he's not exactly the smartest guy when it comes to the actual items, but he's smart; above High School level (your Occult was a 3 beforehand, so that'd be around the 'IQ' level he's at, prolly.)

Your Dragon's Breath is going to turn from a spell, into something.. more in a transformation I've set up on your grid. That's what the 2 Ability comes from.

It allows you to create another grid that your character transforms into. The transformation would correlate with Rage Mode.

Here's the grid I have in mind, but you are free to change.

Grid
Intelligence: -
Occult: 2
Strength: 5
Speed: 2
Durability: 7
Ability: 2
Ability: 6
Fighting Skills: 4
Flight: 2
Wealth: 1

In this grid, your character would no longer be able to use his swords, or any other Occult items he has. He would gain 6 in a second Ability bar, however, that would give him "Dragon's Breath" as his ability; his wings, of course, would be fiery and his tail would be fiery etc. That's all appearance; appearances changing do not require grid shifts; but if you'd like to have the rage mode be "cooler" I'd go this route.

So, I hope this helps.. if you have any more questions.. lemme know.

And when/if you decide to make all these changes, then I'll help ya some more!

Nah I'm fine with wordy. Wordy means that every thing is explained and there are o holes. Now with this set up I do have a couple of problems. Jason to start out really istn't a hero of for that matter have an identity other then his own. So carry a couple of swords around is a little dificult. This is kind of why the power was meant to be something he could make out of thin air. The other problem that comes up with is the creation. As you figured out, the Dragons are meant to have the magical knoledge, not Jason himself, so it would make sense that while the Dragons would have the knoledge to make it, Jason wouldn't have the skills necessary to make them(At least perfectly or of a high strength) The other problem I see with this is the following, hes of a reasobale intelegeance, he his strong, durable and trained in combat. I'm just fearful that hims having created his weapons would make him to OP/Mary Sue.

I like the transformation method going on there.

I would like to note though on his base line stats his durability could come down a bit. Honestly I belive a 5 in baseline would be perfect and maybe push it up for his transformation that way when he returns to normal any wounds suffered would actually drain more and make him feel less like some who is undefetable.


Now I was thinking about this after I wrote all this up. As an option to give him his weapons freely and easliy and still be workable and with out them being something he created or etc.

Idea 1: Consists of me reworking dome of the history a bit but the moral of the story is that the dragons where trapped in the swords and where passed on to him. So this removes the need for him to create him.

Idea 2: What if the swords had an added ability I'm going to call soulbound for now. This would mean that the blades could in effect be "summoned" to him no matter where he was thus removing the need for him to be in posetion of his blades. My only problem with this idea is that I still haven't solved the "Who does a teenager create a set of swords type deal/?" But wait what if the blades where created when the dragons and Jason where fused togther....... This might work.

How does this sound to you?

I have an idea, I like the soulbound aspect of the items.

I would say make them runes or something that are rings in shape that he wears on either hand. Or some kind of bracelet, or some kind of charm on a necklace that gives him the ability to project his powers into two swords.

Not all items have to be the actual item. But yeah if you get my drift.

Also I apologize for the late response.

Oh, and, 5 in durability would be fine. (:

Just use the other 2 free points for whatever you like. :]

But his dur raising in his other form would make sense to me.

So, make your final changes to your app, I'll look it over, and we'll go from there. (:
