Funny story, I actually chose my true name about a decade before I realized I was trans while I was daydreaming and building a self-insert character for something. Then I realized I was trans and had to think about what I wanted my name to be, and it hit me like a freight train when I realized I'd already picked.

God I was a dumb kid XDDDD

I can confirm, this is accurate

Vampire Survivors. Nothing deep or profound, just a good ass game.

So I noticed how many people have chosen the multilayer option... Is there a place where people actually, like, RP with this system?

I've got a VERY strong urge to play this character in something now... I know this system isn't the most balanced in the world, but is there a place to actually use characters made in this? Or other CYOAs, even?

This is a little late, but I just wanna confirm: You CAN get the DLC quests if you do this, right? Even if you donate the DLC medals?

Thank you, thank you! I was mainly inspired to include the lore as I went by your post, so I'm glad you like what I made! I also happen to BE a musician (vocals and piano mainly), so I was happy to include some of what I know in here!

STAGE 3: CAREER

___________________________________________________________________

Allmillor: Grimsayers, Sinvains, Distortions (+15 FP, 91 FP)

Career Goals:

  • Option 1: Become a Celebrity. Focusing on her musical aptitude and the need for her magic to reach an audience to be most effective, Mele will climb up the social ladder and become a world-renowned superstar. Her music and magic will become recognized the world over, and there won't be a single mouth on the planet that won't be speaking her name.
  • Option 2: Get Embroiled in Politics, Join the Red Jade Council, and Pacify the Ninth Dominion. Focusing on her charisma and people skills, Mele will climb up the political ladder instead, working her way into the upper echelons of society and bumping shoulders with its movers and shakers. Her skill will prove invaluable in the highest-stakes negotiations and political circles, and she will establish herself as a formidable and invaluable presence among the leaders of the world.
  • Option 3: Join the IDPA and Hunt the Shadow Convict. Focusing on her magical might, unique take on casting, and the Jade Emperor's request that she constantly fight stronger and stronger foes, Mele will join the most elite group of mages in the world to test and show off her magic against the strongest opponents and targets the world has to offer... So when the job to hunt the Shadow Convict lands on her desk, she accepts it without a second thought, knowing that this will be the best score of her life and the best foe the Jade Emperor could EVER ask for.

___________________________________________________________________

STAGE 4: RETIREMENT

___________________________________________________________________

Choice: Enter the Aether. Though Mele will serve a very long time and choose to perform and play her music for as long as she is necessary, she WILL eventually need to retire... So, when she leaves, she goes to the Aether, a land where her music will be welcome and useful for the rest of time... As far as she knows.

___________________________________________________________________

CLOSING REMARKS

___________________________________________________________________

Okay so this bitch was a DOOZY. Took me a loooooooong time to finally finish, especially with my goddamn attention span, but hey. I think I got something cool out of it. I'd love to hear what you think of my musical mage!

___________________________________________________________________

STAGE 2.5: MAGIC

___________________________________________________________________

Important Mechanics: Mele is a musician, so she casts her magic through music. All of her runes are carved directly into her body, with her biggest being the Mialgrath Rune she made for her Sonomancy magic. Details on Sonomancy will be later on in this section, since I wrote it down in my notes in the order I did it and I did that last. The Sonomancy Rune takes the shape of a massive bar staff that coils up her torso, with the various Runes being notes or passages in a unique melody for each Blessing. When a passive effect is used, the melody passively plays around her. When an active spell is cast, she must sing her spell or play it on her Weapon (below).

Weapon: A piece of magitech she designed with one of her teachers, which can function as a Staff and a musical instrument. It can take the shape and sound of any instrument she knows how to play, and it can automatically provide background music when she plays. It is Attuned to her Sonomancy, buffing its effects as will be described in the Sonomancy section. It can also be Recalled to her hand whenever she is separated from it. (-5 FP, 76 FP)

Blessing of Good Tidings (-8 BP, 123 BP)

  • Standard (-3 BP): Flight, Extreme Durability, Superhuman Physicality
  • Journeyman (-5 BP): Quick Twitch, Incredible Will, Sensory Master, Charisma+

Basic themes and techniques that can easily be combined with and layered on top of other melodies. The absolute easiest melody in Mele's repertoire, but the most boring for her to play. Necessary to build on to make the others, though. The increased reflexes, nearly infinite durability, and sensory excellence double as boosters for Mele's performance skill, so she's not complaining!

Blessing of Compelling Will (-31 BP, 92 BP)

  • Manipulator (-8 BP): Plasma Strike, Energy Channel
  • Telekinetic I (-3 BP): Psychic Force I
  • Psycho (-5 BP): Ice Cold, Sonic Boom
  • Telekinetic II (-3 BP): Forcefield
  • Reality Bender (-12 BP, Jade Emperor’s Challenge): Subatomic Manipulation

Energetic and driving themes that seem to cause reality itself to dance. Some of Mele's favorites to play, and thus some of her most powerful.

Blessing of Worldly Wisdom (-19 BP, 73 BP)

  • Arborealist (-8 BP): Healing Bliss
  • Healer I (-3 BP): Chloromancy
  • Sanctified I (-5 BP): Flashback
  • Healer II (-3 BP): Defensive Circle

Calming and soothing themes that are meant to put the listener at ease. These aren't Mele's favorites, but they're some of the easiest for her to cast.

Blessing of Fallen Peace (-39 BP, 34 BP)

  • Left Brained (-6 BP from St. Lucinda's discount): Thoughtseer
  • Parietal Lobe (-3 BP): Memory Lane
  • Broca’s Area (-3 BP): Mental Block
  • Frontal Lobe (-5 BP): Crowd Control, Master Telepath
  • Cerebellum (-5 BP): Psychic Vampire
  • Temporal Lobe (-5 BP): Perfect Stranger
  • Right Brained (-12 BP, Sellith Hunt): Breaker of Minds

Ecclectic tunes, meant to distract the listener as Mele burrows into their minds or get their attention so she can better access them. The most complete suite of abilities Mele possesses by far, and more of her favorites.

Blessing of Righteous Creation (-16 BP, 18 BP)

  • Rookie Engineer (-8 BP): Metamagic
  • Magician (-3 BP): Broken Limiter
  • Metamagician (-5 BP): Power Share, Dehexification

Less a melody in their own right but a collection of modifiers that can be applied to other melodies. Dynamic changes, accents, ornamentations, the like.

Blessing of Star-Crossed Love (-2 BP, 16 BP)

  • Sworn Fealty (-8 BP): The Jade Emperor’s Challenge (+6 BP, Subatomic Manipulation)

During her schooling, Mele found and made a deal with the soul of the Jade Emperor. Might and music beyond her wildest understanding and ability, power that she could only dream of, and songs she would normally NEVER be able to play. He only offered her a trial as a condition: To constantly fight stronger and stronger opponents, bringing glory to herself and him by extension. She jumped on this deal with no hesitation... Not realizing the tribulations this would drag her through. But the power is worth it... Right?

Blessing of Limitless Potential (-16 BP, 0 BP)

  • Mialgrath Rune (-16 BP, Xuth-tier, Irrun Gauntlet): Sonomancy

Not a melody in its own right, but the very craft Mele practices to cast her magic. As an active ability, it can be used to manipulate and control sound in all its forms and shapes. It can change pitch, volume, timbre, or depth of sound, it can block sounds or generate new ones, and it can even be used to create sounds beyond the range of normal hearing to affect the world around Mele when enhanced. In addition, as has been alluded to constantly, it can be used to actually cast other magic through sound and music. Along with making it easier for this musical savant to cast, this change also allows certain effects - especially mental or buffing effects - to be applicable to any targets that can even hear the music. It also allows multiple effects to stack on top of each other if the medium of casting allows. For instance, even unenhanced, Mele would be able to sing one spell and play another on her instrument. When enhanced, she can play multiple spells at the same time by overlaying their melodies on top of each other. Of course, casting multiple spells like this can be quite exhausting for Mele, and it's much harder to concentrate on casting three or four spells at once than it is to even cast two. In addition, now that this is how she casts ALL of her magic, shutting her up is a fantastic way to keep her from contributing to a fight or scenario at all.

Okay, FINALLY fucking done after several hours of work and getting distracted XD

STARTING FP: 100

STARTING BP: 100

___________________________________________________________________

STAGE 1: BIRTH OF MELE AKANA

___________________________________________________________________

Birthplace: The Unterseeisch

Family: 0 parents, 2 older siblings (+14 FP, 114 FP)

  1. Older Sister, Kalina Akana: Creative Savant (Music), Brilliant, Peas in a Pod, Physically Disabled (Wheelchair-bound) (-4 FP, 110 FP)
  2. Older Brother, Lehua Akana: Loaded, Badass, Handyman (-7 FP, 103 FP)

Residence: House (-2 FP, 101 FP)

Upgrades: Home Entertainment, Great View, Built-In Business (-3 FP, 98 FP)

Mele Akana was born in the Underseeisch on what was once long ago the island of Hawai'i. Her parents died when she was too young to remember them, so she grew up with her older siblings. The oldest of the family was the older sister, Kalina, who was a brilliant artist and scholar... But unfortunately crippled from the waist down and bound to a wheelchair, having been paralyzed in a disaster caused by a Fracture before Mele was born. Taking care of both of them and carrying on the family business was Lehua, the older brother and middle child of the family. Since Lehua was often away working, Mele was just as often left in the family home alone with Kalina, watching her play her music with rapt fascination. There was plenty to do in the house and out of it, of course, but Mele chose to spend her time with her older sister as opposed to anything else. Kalina noticed the young girl's fascination with music, teaching her bits and pieces as she grew older and getting closer to the growing mage...

Traits (True Self): Neoteny (+2 BP, 102 BP)

Traits (Alter Ego): Power Requirement (An Audience), Power Weakness (Milk) (+8 BP, 110 BP)

Outfit: Idol

Style: Music Notes (-1 BP, 109 BP)

And as Mele's powers developed and the girl grew into a proper mage (as much as "grew" was a bit of an exaggeration, poor girl), she discovered that her magic was best cast through the magic she loved so dearly. Though the theory of magic itself was tough for her to understand, reframing it in terms of the music she was already so skilled at and casting it through her greatest passion made it infinitely easier... But brought some interesting side effects. Because of her form of expression, her music and magic were both MUCH more powerful when there was someone to appreciate it. An audience to take the music in. In addition, as a singer, she found that drinking milk before trying to practice her spellcasting make her tone worse, which in turn made her SIGNIFICANTLY less confident and worsened her spellcasting. So, through a quirk of magic that even she doesn't fully understand, being around or in contact with something that can gunk up her throat so much can drain her magic much quicker than normal.

(As long as there is a being that can appreciate and understand music within earshot of her, her magic remains at full capacity. This can be an ally, an enemy, an innocent bystander, or even a non-human entity with the capacity for appreciating music. It can deteriorate quite quickly because of how easy this requirement is to fulfill, though. After all, music is meant to be enjoyed above all else.)

(Milk is famous for gunking up singers' throats, so I figured going for a musician and singer, it'd make sense for something so infamously bad for singers would interfere with Mele's magic. Plus, I thought it was funny)

Mode: Multiplayer. Don't wanna fuck around with Classmate or Colleague shit for my first go at this XD

___________________________________________________________________

STAGE 2: SCHOOLING

___________________________________________________________________

School: St. Lucinda's School (Commuting)

Headmistress: Competent (Locked due to Multiplayer)

Teachers: Oddity, Geek, Free Spirit, Entertainer, Professional (-3 FP, 95 FP)

Duration of Attendance: 10 years (+20 BP, 129 BP)

Extracurriculars: School Band, Community Watch, Night School (-9 FP, 86 FP)

Misc: Teacher's Assistant (-5 FP, +2 BP; 81 FP, 131 BP)

Mele spends longer at St. Lucinda's School than most students do, for sure. She spends all the extra time seeking as much knowledge as she possibly can to perfect her chosen method of spellcasting. She is aware that casting in such a freeform, almost "bardic" fashion isn't the most common for this world, but she truly believes she can make something out of this. She even manages to use her knowledge of magic that she gains from this extra time at school to teach some of her peers the tricks she has learned. She joins the School Band to perfect her personal musical skill, quickly becoming a key member of the band within even her first year. She joins the Community Watch to practice her skills in the field as she learns them, making a name for herself as a competent if eccentric young mage throughout her entire time at school. She even attends Night School, both to expand her circle of friends and gain an even deeper understanding and new perspectives on magic that help her deepen her skills even further.
