• Name: The Golden God
  
  
• Character: Annabelle
  
  
• Old Skill:
  
  
  [Rank E] Firebird (Spell)

  
  

  - Description: With a simple flag move, Annabelle sends a buff out in a cone within her field of vision, granting the ability to strike harder or the ability to cast greater potency by sacrificing an attribute the affected does not need.
  
  - Effect: Grants a 2 rank Strength or Willpower buff and a 1 rank Willpower or Strength debuff (respective) to any Marked characters in a 25m radius within Annabelle's field of vision (mid-peripheral, 120 degrees).
  
  The buff's attribute depends on which attribute is higher at the time of casting: If the individual being buffed has a higher attribute in Strength, the skill buffs Strength and debuffs Willpower and vice versa. If the individual's Strength and Willpower are equal in level, then the skill buffs based on whether the last action used: Techniques and Attacks (Physical) buffs Strength, Spells and Attacks (Magical) buffs Willpower.
  
  - Attribute Modifier: None
  - Cost: 13 Stamina, 30 Prana
  - Type: Active
  - Duration: 3 Phases
  - Affinity: Support
  - Prerequisites:
  • One of Annabelle's AGs must be active
    
  - Limitations:
  • Effect does not stack with itself
    
  Value Calculation: (5*2*3(Strength Buff) - 5*1*3(Willpower Debuff)) * 2(Vice Versa) * (1.75 (25m AOE 120 Degree Multiplier)) - 1 (Algorithm Faults) = 51.5 - 15 BV = 36.5 Value

  Value Calculation: (5*2*3*2(Strength + Willpower Buff) - 2.5*2*3*2(Strength + Willpower Debuff)) * (1.75 (25m AOE 120 Degree Multiplier)) - 1 (Algorithm Faults) = 51.5 - 15 BV = 36.5 Value
  
  
  
• Reasoning: Original formula operated on the assumption that the value of the debuff would be equal to the value of the buff- this is not the case. I retooled the value of the debuff to half and added 1 rank up to the debuff to keep the cost the same while nerfing the skill as a whole.

Why a request:
Now that I've successfully finished making a request-mission, and now that my current mission is progressing, the first ideas for a new mission have already started to flow in. However, it is possibly even more ambitious than what I am working on now. As a result, it might take a fair bit of time and commitment from both sides involved.

What to expect:

• Non player characters. The idea that I have for this mission won't work without a fair amount of NPC's. All of those will need to be approved, and role-played with. While I will (most likely) be able to take care of the latter by myself (depending on when this mission will take place, and on whether the Overseer themselves wishes to participate as an NPC, which they would be more than welcome to do), approving them will probably be a fairly demanding task. I have a proven track record to be pretty awful with numbers, and those will definitely be involved.
  
  
• Maps. Thanks to Tuba, I've grown to like the usage of maps, and bought a program to make them. Now I need to learn how to use it and get my money out of it. Any admin with an interest in working with these is most welcome to give input.
  
  
• Balance. Due to the set-up, I think the idea I have will give a rather wide range of options with regards to balance and threat level, and some things might need a fair bit figuring out to work/be balanced. I don't think this mission will fit the box, so it'd be great if someone could help find a bigger one or join me outside of it, so to say.
  
  
• Teamwork. Unless there is an admin whom feels a calling to help me out with all of the above, I'm more than okay with splitting this all between three people, and get two other admins involved. Any more than that would become too much trouble to coordinate, and we might loose too many characters to participate.

Time-frame:
I am posting this early. This is mostly to prevent myself from making a lot of things before realising I can't possibly get it all approved without a giant admin army. Instead, my plan is to slowly build things up by finishing up bits and pieces whenever I can, and by getting them approved as we go. I will be busier during February 2018, so my ideal goal is to conduct this all during January 2018. However, even that might very well be too shortly timed, in which case I'm planning to simply finish as much up as I can before the start of February, and conducting it during the first downtime I'll have after that.

Closing statement:
This unorthodox and demanding approach I have in mind seems like it'll need an unorthodox and demanding way to get its overseers. If this is a task that nobody wishes to shoulders, I'd rather drop it altogether, as this feels like an all-or-none deal. That said, I'm looking forwards to seeing if there are admins willing to participate in this.

Affected Character: The Harbinger

Memorial: yes

Reason: Would like to make another character in their place.

Deletion Procedure: Preferably he goes AWAL and simply leaves Astraea, if not then de-summoning.

Affected Character: Anastasia

Reason: Anastasia moves to a different branch.

Affected Character: Cilka

Reason (Optional): I have seen people be inactive for long periods of time, but its good to officially state it and kinda do this. I love her character, but I am putting my attention to other things, I will still continue to mission progress on my part.

Estimated Time: I do not quite know yet, I feel like when I have the time again to play her. It might be a bit more then two months.

Affected Character: Horace Ridgeway, Annabelle Korsakov

Memorial: Yes

Reason: I was able to RP this semester as a part time student; next semester will be full time and I am unsure if I have the time commitment to RP as I have been. Keeping them in the memorial is a safekeep in case I do come back to RPing as a PC.

Deletion Procedure: Annabelle: Freeze, resummon, and live out life as a normal girl (sending back clothes to Noah).
Horace: Freeze, resummon, transfer to another branch.

Affected Character: Danolus Ilaesu

Memorial: Yes

Reason: Being quite honest, I just don't have enough time to be quite so involved, and college is only going to get busier. As it is, he's already inactive, and of my four characters he's possibly the one I'm least attached to.

Transferred to an Astraea branch located in the Divine regions of Septima.

Changes: From the usual beastkind affinities to Resist to Fire and Weak to water

Affected Character: Amber

Estimated Time: As long as possible
