Practice Doesn't Make Perfect

[Kalooeh]

Magic

Oh sure Kal can manage a little bit of it, but her healing is like basic weak shit that'd help with maybe some bruising, cuts, and minor burns.

Her thaumaturgey is a little stronger, but it's really more for practical use like starting a campfire or chilling a drink than attacking. She could likely take out some weaker things with her magic, but mostly it'd be a waste of energy on her part and she's really just rather prefer to punch the think or shoot it in the face.

She'd never get anywhere with arcane magic. She'd have absolutely no patience for it, the book, or the familiars and just end up saying "Fuck this shit, I'm punching it in the face"

For things like weaving or sewing in general, she could get by but she doesn't have the patience for it at all and can barely deal with something like patching up holes or seams in her clothes, and it wouldnt be anything pretty/fancy.

 

Then on the other end is Dheina and her being unable to do anything for physical attacks and she'd be far more likely to cry and run away... especially since she can't take a hit worth a damn and would end up crying or freaking out.

Closest she'll be able to get to anything for physical combat is maybe learning the rogue/ninja trade since that'd be more getting hits in with pointy things first more than relying on strength, but her punching anything would be like being punched by a 5 year old. Sure it could hurt a little, but really ain't a threat.

Even being a ninja her goals would be try to get it down as fast as possible or have someone else be a distraction, or panic and basically turn in to the equivalent of a panicked cat with knives. Attacks would be far less precise and more just wild slashing in hopes the thing would back off and she could run away or someone can get it off her.

She is horrible at keeping calm. Even if she's just healing, she will probably panic and overheal because would panic about someone else getting hurt, or if something comes after her she'd panic and would run away... in general. Not run away from the thing but towards the tank so they could save her. Just run away to anywhere but where the danger is.

Even if she doesn't get attacked at all she'll still likely end up crying over something or another and apologizing a lot for not healing enough, even if she was being overzealous with it in the first place.

She's great with healing and to a lesser degree offensive magic. But pbbbt her strength is pitiful and can't keep calm.

She wouldn't be able to lead anyone either. There's times she's bossy, but she has the nickname "Panic Cat" for a reason, and she would have absolutely no clue how to figure out what people need to do beside "Please go beat up that thing there and keep it away from me so I can hide back here and heal you".

 

Sam.... I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with them yet, but biggest thing with them so far seems to be socializing. They're really not any good at it and socializing for them is so painfully awkward. Oh sure they try, and will sometimes hang out in places with a lot of people that are open to random interaction, but it's always a battle between actually trying to socialize and just saying screw it and running away to hide in their room and read instead, or go out and just pick up a job

Eresh has a couple of them...

 

Black magic: She's great to have around if you need a campfire... or need one put out as she can't produce ice to save her soul. She tried for years to no avail even with the help of her best friend who could, and has, blown up many a block in various towns that will remain unnamed. Eresh... yeah, her skills are laughable. 

 

Metaphors and hints: You have to be very upfront with Eresh as she takes things literally. She won't read into anything and doesn't understand colorful references. (This is also a 'me' flaw. I don't see hints or understand metaphors so I can't play a character that does. I think I drive Nathan crazy sometimes because he has to explain a lot of what he says to me.  )

 

Being social: She's not that great at it actually. She can talk to anyone about business, products and reclamation but get her in a situation where she has to be social about anything else and she tends to be rather quiet, observing and listening rather than piping up and directing the conversation.

[E'jusana]

Cooking edible dishes. She likes to try cooking different things and being experimental but they either end up burnt to a crisp or she uses foods that should never be put together. The noses of those around her almost always end scrunched up in disgust. The taste doesn't effect her regardless, if she makes it she'll eat it, others cannot say the same.
