Personal Skills collection post
Right, and here's where I ask you to help me out with the Personal Skills table -- I'll do my best for canons I know, but if you could leave me a few things about your character(s), it'd make my life that much easier. Please note that you'll only show up on the table after Capell has met your character -- these are all IC impressions, but you'll only be able to see them OOCly; this all goes in Capell's menu screen, after all, so don't worry about other campers finding out your secret hatred of lima beans, or anything. Also, Capell might put things down that are untrue -- if you're secretly plotting to take over camp and kill everyone, but have only ever been super nice to Capell, your Trait will probably be something like "Friendly!", etc.
Here are the sort of things that go into a personal skills page -- It's not necessary that you have each of these things, as some characters don't craft, or have no battle abilities, and that's fine. But, in general:
Title 1: The primary thing I notice about you. Your position in life or a personality trait. Examples are: "Overactive", "Hero", "Bad Attitude", etc.
Title 2: Your battle prowess/prowess at whatever skill it is you have, be it healing, leadership, swordfighting, etc. I have a feeling I'm going to need to be creative, here.
IC: ("Item Creation") Your character's non-battle party skill and ability at said skill. Examples are cooking, blacksmithing, leather working, writing, alchemy, etc. This can be something totally dumb, like "cootie catcher" or similar, and it doesn't need to be strictly creating, either, if you want. I am totally up to fudging here.
CS: Connect Skill -- what Capell can do, when connected to your character. Or rather, what Capell can accomplish -- Capell is not actually doing the action here, rather, you are doing it for him. Examples are things like "Observant" for Sigmund -- which allows you to use his scan ability in battle when connected to Sigmund, or "Beast Speaker" for Rico, who does indeed allow me to speak to animals. Be creative!
Traits 1-5: interesting character quirks, animal/enemy likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Examples are: Bear fan, tea lover, fussy, avid bather, etc.
Palate: Food preference! What sorts of foods are most or least effective.
Please note: All of your skills can change or evolve as Capell learns more about you, this will just give me something to work off of.
Again, you don't have to give me all of this information (or, er, any of it, really) but it'd help me out -- especially for the less obvious things like Palate. If you do comment, please please please leave not only your character name, but the journal name as well; I am terrible at remembering the connection between the two, are there are a couple of sets of name twins, at least.
If you want to come up with your own cleaver titles and subtitles, by all means please do, but I can also come up with them for you if you just want to give me general information.
There's no real point to this, except that I think it's amusing. You'll get notices in comments when Capell changes or unlocks one of your traits, so you can check out what he thinks of you. It's like a perpetual impressions meme! I'm going to do my best to keep on top of this. Since Capell has to meet people for this to work, I'll do my best to jump people who answer. If you have a preference on who I should jump first, let me know. Likewise, feel free to jump the puppy at will.
