Chapter 31: Character Card Making
Rachel walked over with a character card.
On the white paper, there is a form. At the top left of the table, there is a blank space. Next to it were marked with various data fields to be filled in, and after a cursory glance, Gustav saw that there was a lot of stuff in them.
"Wait a minute, let me settle on the character first. Rachel said with a smile at Gustav, pulling out a pen in black ink from the side. "Let me think about it, since Thurman is an abyssal ice demon, it has a tall physique. ”
"The rumored Thurman is capable of reaching a height of nearly two meters four in his normal form. Unlike ordinary demons, he is a rare intelligent figure of the Geo-Wise School. Although the demonic cruelty factor is deeply rooted in Thurman's heart, after systematic self-training, his demeanor can be said to be quite decent. Rachel is recalling the events of Thurman that he can remember, in order to enrich the image of the character.
"Moreover, Thurman's battle image has been once described, 'The cold blue steel seemed to be cast in him, and his hair and eyebrows were a terrible whiteness, unlike the pleasant winter snow. Thurman's eyes were not filled with emotion, his lips were thin, and his nose was raised, like a knight who was serious about himself. ”
With Rachel's description, a general image of Thurman appeared in Gustav's mind.
"I got an idea. Rachel clapped his hands, and then began to draw in the blank space on the top left of the card.
As Rachel's brushstrokes fell on the paper, a batch of heads scattered, and the image of the heavy demonic armor stood out. Rachel's paintings are fast, almost scribbling without thinking. However, the actual effect can be said to be outstanding, with impeccable lines and composition. This is probably due to the fact that the Arcanist apprentices have strong mental abilities and have a better grasp of precision than ordinary painters.
In fact, many Arcanists are not inferior to their artistic achievements in the arts, but when one becomes a famous Arcanist, other fame is less important.
In the midst of the blizzard stood a tall figure, and under Rachel's brushstrokes, Thurman was represented as a grim-eyed and deep-seated figure. In order to distinguish the difference between demons and humans, a giant demon's horn was painted on Thurman's head. Accompanying Thurman was the magic rune sword in his hand, the sword body as a whole was crystal clear, even colder than the ice and snow of the thirteenth layer of the abyss.
Very imposing and visual! Gustav genuinely praised and said, "Rachel, your painting skills are fantastic." ”
Rachel smiled and shook his head: "Sit down, sit down, it's just normal painting." Once the character image is determined, you can fill in the character data next to it. ”
"Okay. "Gustav is a newcomer and can only watch Rachel's movements from the sidelines.
"Thurman, the first lieutenant of the Lord of the Deep Sea, the Lord of the Thirteenth Layer of the Abyss, a powerful ice demon, tentatively designated as an Orderly Evil. The title is the adjutant of the thirteenth layer of the abyss. Rachel began to fill them out one by one. "Body size: tall and moderate, not bloated......"
At this time, the others also chose their own characters.
"Isn't Rachel ready? You're going to draw us figures. "Maybe it's been a long time, and this time even the others are getting a little impatient.
"Gustav wanted to create a character template that wasn't originally in the script, and we're talking about it. Rachel thought it would be long and boring, but it turned out to be interesting. At this time, there is an unreal feeling that you are in control of everything, and it is somewhat addictive.
"Who did Gustav choose?" Roken was the arbiter tonight, and it was most normal for him to speak.
Rachel smiled and handed over the character card he was adjusting.
"Let's talk about it then, it should be interesting too. Kasha keenly sensed that everyone was in a hurry, so she said soothingly.
Roken and Kasha took the Thurman character card, and everyone gathered around.
"Ice Demon of the Abyss, Thurman?" Roken thought it was interesting after reading it. "He used to be a great demon, and he was very famous. I'll see, Rachel, how do you set up the characters. ”
"Shouldn't the position of order evil be replaced by order neutrality?" asked Kasha softly.
The Arcane Second Republic is currently in its honeymoon phase with the Gustan Dynasty, and although the two are bound together by a common enemy, they are still allies after all. When positioning the characters of the Gustan Demon Dynasty, if they are not particularly bloody and cruel characters, they are generally positioned as orderly and neutral. In a way, this is a manifestation of 'political correctness'.
Rachel tilted his head slightly, thought about it carefully, and hesitated: "Maybe, after all, this is a customary setting." However, today the main player is Gustav, so why not ask him what he means?"
Everyone looked at Gustav.
"I don't think it's needed," Gustav shook his head, and said in a somewhat firm tone, "At that time, the abyss was still in chaos, and the Gustan dynasty had not yet been established. If one needs to take into account the usual conventions for the characters of the Gustan dynasty, it is unlikely that it dates back to before the establishment of the dynasty. In fact, according to the general impression, the positioning of Thurman's 'orderly evil' is quite appropriate. ”
Gustav's words are quite reasonable, even according to the general law of plane law: a case that has exceeded the time limit for litigation is not to be overturned. In the same way, naturally, the characters before the Gustan dynasty can no longer pay attention to some 'political correctness' when setting.
"According to Rachel's setting, Thurman's strength is 30, agility is 19, constitution is 34, intelligence is 18, perception is 23, and charm is 22......" Kasha continued to look down: "It's okay, this is similar to the average Abyss Lord." Considering Thurman's later performance, he became a dazzling figure in the melee of the thirteenth layer of the Abyss, he could obviously have such a value. ”
Rachel nodded, and continued to explain to Gustav: "When we make character cards based on history, we generally have to take into account their achievements. A big demon like Thurman has a special set of scoring criteria. If Gustav is interested, you can get acquainted with it later. These indices can't be set at will, otherwise you will have a bad impression in the minds of true enthusiasts. ”
Gustav continued to look down, and below was the specialty setup that belonged to Thurman.
"Legendary Long Sword Mastery, Legendary Long Soldier Mastery, Battle First Attack, See Through, Demon Freezing Spell Magic Instant, Legendary Riding ......"
What a luxurious list of specialties!
Roken frowned slightly: "I believe that Thurman has the mastery ability of a legendary longsword and a long soldier. But...... The setting of the battle first attack is also a matter of course. But isn't it too exaggerated to have a demonic freezing spell instantly? Thurman is a great ice demon of the abyss, but he is not a mage class, and this setting is obviously inconsistent with the characteristics of the character. ”
Kasha nodded slightly in agreement: "I also agree with Roken's opinion, although the demon has a comprehension ability that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend the spell-like abilities that match his own nature, but Thurman's performance in actual combat is not enough to support the addition of a spell-like instantaneous performance. ”
Rachel thought about it carefully: "Thurman really didn't use too many spell-like abilities in actual combat, maybe you are right, then let's remove this one." Gustav, what do you think?"
As a teammate, Rachel still respects Gustav's opinion.
"Judging by Catherine's performance, there are indeed two forms in Thurman's bloodline. One is the demonic route of mastering spell-like spells, and the other is the direction of becoming a powerful warrior like Thurman. However, I think it's appropriate to add an instantaneous effect to some of the spell-like abilities. I've seen some of Catherine's performances when she uses bloodlines, and judging by her performance, at least in the current spell-like class, she can drive quickly. ”
After seriously considering Gustav's opinion, Kasha nodded: "Okay, since Gustav has first-hand information to refer to, then change the instantaneous demonic ice-type spells in Thurman's template to 'some demonic ice-type spells instantaneous', and then set a verification standard in the process." ”
