For some reason I've always pictured him as something like this..
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

Extremely close except no machinery thinner Physique, no mask and a facial structure like an unholy offspring of a demon and an elf. No skinn pigment either, and red eyes.

Suggested Stats based on activity during the roleplay. Strength (4-5) Capable of slicing through brick. Speed (15-18) Very fast. Skill (2-3) Magical Ability (3-5) Capable of large fiery blasts, seem reluctant to use this. Intelligence (2-3) Not the smartest thing in the world. Knowledge (3) Doesn't even know the difference between a Djinn and a Wizard. Adaptability (3-5) Seems fairly adaptive. Durability (4-5) Moderate. Endurance (6-8) Capable of highly fast and agile movements for long periods of time.

Chaotic Evil, obviously.

That shoulda been a given...

The sheer reckless lack of any control or planing kind of gives it away.

And his actions ARE rather disposed to both chaos and/or evil...

And shadow, do you have any suggestions about the stats?

Restate it please? I don't feel like going back to to the thread, because it won't just let me go straight back to the page...

What kind of stat ranges and caps are we looking at for our characters?
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

Strength represents raw physical poweress. How much you can carry, how hard you can hit or how many chainsaws you can juggle.
Speed is essentially both the top speed and acceleration your body can go without assistance. How fast you run, how many times you can hit someone or how quickly you can dodge a laser guided pie. Skill represents learned ability of any kind. How good you are at doing something be it swordplay, using a computer or magical training. Magical Aptitude is both an ability to use magic as well as raw power. Any being capable of using magic has some degree of Magical Aptitude. Durability represents an ability to take and withstand damage without suffering lethal injuries. Beings such as trolls have a high degree of this. Intelligence is raw thought speed and cognitive ability. It's how fast and how thoroughly a being can think. Knowledge represents the amount of information a being knows, whether learned or instinctive. Dragons tend to be very knowledgeable. Adaptability is a being's ability to react to sudden changes in an environment or sudden realizations. Endurance is stamina. How long you can keep going before become exhausted. Humans (For a good baseline) Strength (1-3) One being a very weak human, three being a very strong one. Humans are generally not know for exceptional strength. By contrast, a creature like a Hill Giant would be a ten or higher. Speed (2-4) Two being slow for a human and four being like an Olympic Sprinter. Humans are faster than they are strong, but not by much. Skill (1-9) One being someone completely uneducated and nine being someone who has graduated from several different colleges. Humans are very skilled, especially in more modern times. Magical Ability (0-1) Zero being normal, and one being exceptional. Most humans have very little magical ability. If any. Intelligence (5-8) Five being a less than intelligent person, and eight being someone like Einstein. Humans make up for many of their flaws with sheer intellect. Very few races can be more inventive when under pressure. Knowledge (1-4) One being a very ignorant person, and four being someone with exceptional memory. Humans can range from being totally naive to being surprisingly knowledgeable. Adaptability (6-10) Six being someone who reacts slowly to surprise and ten being someone who's already preparing for it as it happens. Humans display amazing adaptability. They can find someway to survive under even extreme conditions. Durability (1-3) One being someone who would cry from a scratch and three being someone who shrugs off a broken arm. Humans aren't exactly indestructible. By any means. Endurance (1-4). One being someone whose winded climbing up stairs and four being the cross country runners who can run for several hours, take a five minute nap and keep running.

I am SO not sure. Likely not high, sorry to say.
Mythical creatures tend to be pretty high up there at the highest levels...

That's the averages for humans, as well as what the stats do.
Just arrange your stats to take into account your mythical creature scan thing.

So now we're designing stats like a Mythical Creature Baseball card?

for us yes, take this into account. Our team, for those of us that are human, are the morgans, the Merlins, and the hercules of this generation.
Also eventually we will need to add a few specialized stats. Such as ones dealing with espionage, lying, etc.

Hmm i'm afraid i might go overboard, i might need help balancing it
My Yeti would be high in strength and slightly above average in speed. Intellect would be lower but magical ability (at least involving Ice) would be semi high. Endurance/durability should probably be higher too, I think he is the most physical in the group (I should probably have him use more melee based ice powers in the future).

not necessarily but that's the main idea, also we'll need a baseline for each human and the creatures depending on which ones will act like an add on or a multiplier for each ability. by the way, we might not have it at the moment, but we'll have to divide up the scan for spring heeled Jack later, don't ask, we scraped up the ashes. eithe rthat or we'll implement his data directly into the design for the homuncui after Ace gives it a thorough cleaing with his excorcist skills.
