All I want to know is why does Ion Butterfly (great name btw) have Piloting and Technology skills? Seems her background doesn't really have either.
whoops i should have mentioned that her mind went from 1 to 3 suddenly as she gained an energy based perspective on the universe
your right about the skills , ill give her more science for x5 and the acting skill instead

and finally she she needs to fit into the world perhaps a space kracken
appears during the meteor shower and she helps captain max drive it back into space , and gains a contact with the mayors office

Still need to know how you see your characters * in the Zenith Universe though, just a bit, no need for an essay :)

Do you have some additional background on the Arcane/Arcana characters? I read the Zenith material I can find and can't locate any magic specific material. If not, I can create a whole parallel magic sub-civilization... more Harry Dresden than Harry Potter.

If I start creating, do you want to discuss somewhere off-forum before publishing?

The Conjuration power was intended to represent magic items like flying carpets, cloak of etherealness, slippers of spider climb, crystal ball, helm of languages, belt of endure elements, pearl of the ocean, etc. Do see you see it like that, too?

I've edited the original Wizard game mechanics instead of reposting. I need input and direction to move forward.

I've a picture that I want to convert to an avatar. Does anyone know how to do it? Can I send you the picture to crop the face?

I'm not that practiced at this blog stuff.

1] This isn't a blog, it's forums ;)

2] I'll take a look at the character sheet after.

3] What is it you wanted to know about magic in the Zenith Universe?

4] Send me the image and I can crop it up for you.

5] How do you feel? ;)

Arcane and Arcanna are brother and sister, Arcana the good one and Arcane is... well evil it would seem.

Magic for the most part in the Zenith Universe functions like a melange of DC and Marvel magic.

The most powerful mage in the world is the Wiccan, but she is in Capitol City and runs the Woman's Holistic Institute for Metaphysics.

Hmmm... let's see... what else?

Plenty of alternate dimensions, hells, etc...

Oh and the gods of old are not the Greek pantheon but the Roman one.

Of course other gods exist, including the Great Ancient Ones, of whom the most powerful is Ruhlan, the Spider in the Mist.

Hmmmm... what else can I do you for?

It sounds like the magic community is very disorganized to enable many different practices and comic plot lines. OK by me.

I've added a description to the Wizard game mechanics to fit into the Zenith world linking him to the good twin.

Do I post my potential Secret like Elemental?

cheers

It isn't a community of hierarchy no ;)

Sure if you like.

gryfn I am good with her for the most part, nothing is jumping out at me as a red flag.

Give me a bit and we can figure stuff out for getting you into the game.

How do I send the picture to crop? I can't figure out how to attach it to a post. I'm not very computer literate.
