ALTERED REALITY - Character Discussion

So let's try this again.

This is a topic for discussing the characters for the RPG-in-design. For the general system discussions, go HERE. For story discussions, go HERE. For enemy discussions, go HERE.


ALTERED REALITY, FLOOPYWOOPYHOOHAWHEY!!

You totally thought I totally deleted it, because I totally didn't lie. But it turns out I did lie, thrice-fold, like a triple facepalm combo of self-loathing. AR STILL EXISTS! And it's just as shitty as it was when I left it.

So, let's talk about characters. The general plot of the game is that in which you, the designer, take first-person control over the body of your character. This does not, however, include first-person knowledge about how the character's body function, how to use all their (Likely unexplained) powers, or any of their memories, unless that shit was actually put to paper.

But don't lie. It wasn't.

Characters that still exist will be listed below, however if you have any desire for new stats, please say so here. I would also like if everyone were to recreate their character's statistical design, since it would be a good idea to do so.

========

Existing Characters
========

As I've said above, I kindly ask old submitters to re-do their characters under the new things. Any additional information you want to add, such as special skills and spells and whatever, I encourage doing so.

Note that the more overpowered your character/weapon, the harder he/she and it will be to level up...

Charlotte's abilities are basically negation and counter moves. If you allow active abilities to be used, I've got a few ideas, but feel free to totally ignore them and use your own.

I like how some already started posting skills without asking first how many each character should have, if they have cooldowns, how is the mana/sp system, etc.

So I guess here goes this:
- Ammount of skills / spells per character?
- Assuming skills and spells are different; do skills scale off physical damage / strength / weapon proficency or a combination of those and spells scale off magical damage / intelligence / wisdom or a combination of those? Do they use the same resource to be executed?
- What is the max ammount of HP / MP / SP available to the player, in case someone wants to give flat values to their skills?
- Should the characters be given a 'role' in their profile?
- In case of buffs / debuffs, is there a limit on the ammount a player can give / receive / be affected at once? I assume this will be balanced later, but I'm more concerned about engine limits.
- Is there a 'max points' to spend in character stats?
- No Burn / Freeze / Sleep / Curse / Doom status?
