Touko is what happens when you let a in-universe mage design their own character sheet.

HAHAHAHA!!! LOL!
but seriously i never stop to think of how much op certain characters are, what about all the sealing designation thingy?

The sealing designation was a necessary downside needed for the Touko build.

Taking the Sealing Designated trait lets you make your build as crazy as you want.

Would it be cool if we had a little informal contest on this thread. Like theres a prompt and people who want to make a magus based on that prompt take two weeks to make one and then at the end people vote for their fav?

[Sesto]

I'd be down, that'd be fun

[Ereus]

Sure? I'm not good but I guess I'll try.

I can't really do that much worse than the last contest I entered. What would things like the prompt(s) be like?

I assume the self-insert category is out of the question.

Would we be allowed to submit multiple characters for the contest?

I guess stuff like "El-Melloi II Classroom Member" or "Clocktower Lord" or like "Eastern Freelancer who works on occasion for the Demon Hunters."
How about whoever wins, as a prize, gets to make up the prompt for the next one

Don't see why not. It'd be pretty informal.
I guess maybe like 3 max per person?

1 per category you mentioned?

"El-Melloi II Classroom Member", "Clocktower Lord" & "Eastern Freelancer who works on occasion for the Demon Hunters."

oh those were examples of categories.
It'd be like work on one category every month or 2 weeks

Hows about we start the "El-Melloi II Classroom Member" category then?

Funnily enough, I already had some characters that qualify for the first two categories.

Let me put up a "recommended" template later tonight so there's an idea what to put down.
But I think we should start with "Sealing Designated" considering this thread was just talking about them.

[Balthizar]

One of my characters is likely to receive a Sealing Designation if his most recent project succeeds, but he has yet to do so. Does that qualify for the criteria?

This is more of a rallying cry to get more submissions. If it doesn't fit I guess people just won't vote for you.

So this is the template I just finished making. It was made mostly by looking at what people put out on this thread as categories and then consolidating it. If you have your own template and want to use that, that's fine. But I think this covers most bases.

If we're going to do this, I would like to start us off with the prompt something pretty simple "Sealing Designated magus."

A Sealing Designation is defined as:

A title given by edict of the Association itself, to those magi who possessed special talents. Magecraft that couldn't be acquired by simple study or research. Magecraft that was only possible for one possessing that blood, that physical makeup. It was an order sent out by the Association that they might personally see to its eternal preservation. As such a Sealing Designation was at once both the greatest honour a magus could receive, and a death sentence.

So good luck.
Submissions end and voting will begin 06/23/17 12:01 AM PST and it will end 06/30/17 12:01AM PST.
If you want to be considered for the contest, just put "This is for the contest" at the beginning of your post with the magus in it.

Voting will work by bestowing 3 magi with
3 points = 1st place
2 points = 2nd place
1 point = 3rd place
Anyone on the forum is able to vote.
Also it might be nice to give a reason for your votes.
Winner gets to decide the next prompt.

I feel like if this is a reoccurring thing, it should probably be in its own thread for readability reasons

[You]

I would like this to up the people going to this thread.
For the readability thing, when voting starts, I'll put out a post with all the links to magi created specifically for this "event."

[Sesto]

ok but OP updating the OP with links to each "event" (and results at the end) might be a good idea. and maybe the title too but i think mods can only do that??

because while increasing thread activity is a good idea, people who don't use this thread are going to have no idea anything is going on

[You]

Sounds good, I think I'll make the new thread here since events is a wasteland
