Name: Livane

Age: 18-21 (She doesn't exactly remember, nor does it really matter to her.)

Race: Elf

Hair Color: Light reddish-brown, long in length.

Eye Color: Emerald

Height: About 5'7"

Weight: Around 130lbs

Occupation: Wandering mage

Personality: Livane has a lot of trouble talking to people she is not familiar with. She has tried for many years to overcome her shyness, but all of her attempts have so far been in vain. She is very kind, and compassionate to even her enemies, though very just when punishment is called for. Livane is a very patient person, though when her patience wears thin she is easily overcome by aggrivation and oftentimes a lingering anger that may lead to a grudge. Though she hates all forms of bloody fighing, she participates if she has no other option. As long as blood is not spilled, she has no problems competeing against others in better-worse fights, and has quite the competitor's spirit lurking within...
Livane is deathly afraid of water.

Appearence: Livane is very slender, and very pale. Her light reddish-brown hair hangs to a little over her mid-back and oddly contrasts her glittering emerald eyes. Her normal robes consist of a long, light green skirt embroidered with many beaded designs and dangling randomosities. Her rather short, summery shirt is the same color as her light skirt and has similar designs. It fits tightly around the upper part of her torso, exposing most of her stomach and showing it's uniquely tatooed artwork. Her frail-seeming frame cannot handle heavy armor, so she handles battles with strictly cloth armor and a few magical shields.

Skills: ((Pretty much all of these are outside references...))
Fire Spells: (These are just a few examples.)
Flare- Power and range depend upon focused mana. Single target.
Firewall- Forms a fire shield against magical damage for a short amount of time.
Earth Spells:
Quake- Many targets. Low-level earthquake summoned from a rock titan.
White Magic: (Examples!)
Panacea- Cures most ailments.
Protect- Places a shield around a friendly target, minimizing physical damage.

Familiar: A harmless brown snake by the name of Hureo. Livane adopted him as her 'pet' after finding him in Magi's Forest around the age of twelve.

Equipment: A staff made of the roots of an oak tree, with an earth gem in the middle.

History: ((Includes more outside references...It is also shortened.))
Livane came from a very bloodthirsty race of elves, and even though she retained her caring personality through her life, many of her people did not.
She had no parents, yet managed well in her beautiful homeplace. In the difficult times of war that took place in her younger years, she turned to her village as her real "family," yet she soon realized that her people were losing themselves in their quest for vengance for those of them that had died in the pointless fighting. Every day that the villagers trained hardened their hearts a little more, and soon they were so cold that mere children could mercilessly kill without remorse... She practiced her magic in solitude for many years, until she was finally strong enough to run away from her old life and fight through the battles she had to face to get away from it forever.
To atone for her own bloodshed, she began to wander war and disease-striken places, healing the sick and wounded to the best of her ability.

Welcome! Just a few things before I can approve this. Firstly, you have no weapon listed in your profile though it is in the side profile under your avatar. Please list that along with any other trinkets/armor she may have. The wooden staff should be oak or yew, nothing stronger.

Also, you may want to add some form of skill rating with said staff if you are planning on using it, average to above average depending on the number and strength of the spells...

Secondly, you have too many spells. And with the way you worded it, those being 'examples' it leads me to believe that you are planning on using other spells that are not listed. I count 8 spells altogether, cut that number to 5-6 and we'll go from there.

Healing spells are tricky for a level 0 character. The shield is fine, but since healing is a rather big deal I'm going to have to ask that you explain a little more about the number of times the spells can be used, how strong and what they can heal, as well whether she can use them for herself or just others (stuff like instant healing in battle is a no-no for a level 0).

Thanks! Make those edits and I'll check it out again after you've posted telling me you've done them.

Ah, sorry about that.... ^^'
Also sorry about getting carried away with the spells...
I guess I'm used to being a little stronger.

As for skill ratings and strength, she's just going to be weaker since she's a level 0 character... Not exactly sure how to show that on a profile page, but I tried to make the necessary edits... I guess for all damaging spells, power is probably about a 4/25, and as for healing maybe about a 6/30... That's only because her physical strength and defense are terrible, though, the way most mages are.

Alright, the spells that create shields aren't going to be too strong, like people above you with powerful spells can probably break them. Just be careful with stuff like that.

Also, you added the equipment, but no skill for it... if you want to keep it that way then I'll approve this. If not add in a bit of skill, average or so, and I'll get back to it.

Well, that's a given for a level 0 character. XD
I wasn't really planning on godmodding, lol.

The way I see it, I've got spells, so my weapon pretty much just looks nice.
I don't think a starter stave really needs much of a skill, anyway...

As a side note, I edited my side profile so I'm not contrasting the other one.
...And, actually, I don't want my character to have a last name, so I'm going to change that as well. It would just make more sense that way.

Just one question, though... As a character grown stronger, a mage in particular, can more spells or abilities be added to their list?

Of course, that's what leveling up is all about... adding more cool stuff. lol.

I think everything's clarified then. Welcome to Althanas and good luck!

Approved!
