Cléophée Lemaître

Seems simple enough to me. While I dislike that it is strongly influenced by a character from a TV show, I don't entirely mind it as you seem to have made effort to make it unique from the character.

Her only skills are bows and unarmed fighting, so it's not like she's overpowered.

sure whatever

Looks fairly simple, but I'm not sure exactly how mature an 18 year old elf would be, unsure if they reach maturation at the same time as humans, may want to check that. Also, what show are those pictures from?

That's why I put that she's pretty immature still. Being an elf does affect part of it, but then again, some kids are in jail and others are honorable students. Maturity is person-based primarily.

Elves live five hundred years. They reach sexual maturity at the same age as humans, but she'd mentally be closer to a ten year old.

Elves reach sexual maturity at the same time as humans, and mentally I'd figure they'd be the same as humans too.

This sounds like a job for, The Loremasters! *activates the Admin signal*

Lol again, if they reached maturity at the same age, plenty of humans around age 18 are very immature. Some are super annoying, whereas others may be chill and cool.

My Accept.

I would think it's more complicated than just a measure of maturity. While they mentally develop at the same rate mentally, depending on their cultural influence they might seem to grow differently. You figure a human raised by humans would pick up skills fairly quickly, seeming to move ahead faster. The elf raised by elvish parents would appear to develop more slowly. Elves have a longer time to master things, and so they would (unless I'm wrong) spend more time perfecting things they learn than a human would.

Pat is the elf man who wrote all the elf elf of elf elf.

With that said, here's my understanding of the relationship between human and elven development: Humans are the faster learners, something I believe is an established fact of olden and just about any other genre of fantasy. An elf has more time to pick up skills overall, but a human of 20 will typically outclass an elf of 20 because humans do naturally learn faster. This doesn't make them smarter, they're just better at picking up skills. On an intellectual level, I believe all of elven kind tend to be smarter on average. A reasonably intelligent and diligent elf could pick up skills just like a human could. One of average intelligence would lag behind as I described earlier.

In terms of how broad her abilities are, Cleo seems fine, since her skill-set is very focused; it makes perfect sense for a young elf. But those skills look a little too high for just an 18 year old. I would recommend raising the age by a couple years or more, or alternatively, lowering one skill of your choosing.

I kind of just used random bars, I don't entirely understand the point of that system. That and I based if off her amazing fighting in the show. Anyway, I can lower it, although those are basically the primary skills she knows, and she's had quite a while to "perfect" them.

Again I'm curious, what show is she from?

Wakfu.

Also, elves in Olden can be 20-30 and still get away with the "strong-headed inexperienced teen" trope.

Yes, wakfu. It's a french show (yes made in France) which are legally posted on the site, so a group of plus4chan users make english subs for people. It's still being made although the current season ends in March. Season 3 has a high chance of coming but wasn't officially announced. Check out the show though, it's amazing.

Finally read more of it in detail. Her age and the things she does in her backstory stand out glaringly to me. I think the elves, of all the races, would be the first to keep kids out of the army. She joined at 13? Got stationed at 16? How about joined at 18, was stationed at 21, and is now 23? I mean, come on... A human might away with being a squire at 13, but an elf wouldn't, much less being a soldier, front lines or not. Did no one spot this at all?

I'm somewhat curious about the bow. Roughly how powerful would you estimate the current magical arrow to be? And what about the other, ah, "OP" arrows? What are they and why do you call them "overpowered"?

To Kain's statement, that part was based off the show, because it's what actually sparked half her personality, although it never actually said what age she joined at. Although I do know that back in the middle ages and such, kids were forced to join the army at ages 13-14, not 18.

For the bow, I'm not going to base the generic arrow off the show much, aside from appearance. It basically immitates a generic arrow though, even in the show. The other arrows can be explosive arrows (self-explanatory), freezing arrows (freezes a portion of the ground, or freezes target), recall arrows (teleports target to user), and so on. It's pretty awesome but it'd be ridiculously OP for this type of RP, in my opinion at least.

Olden is not the middle ages it is currently closer to 15th-16th Century (in our timeline, not Aeria's) since we are using matchlock weaponry as staple with the introduction of wheellocks.

No, I know although they still werent very civilized at that point. In fact for the civil war they had drummer boys who were very young teens and usually the first to be killed.

That's with a human mentality. Elves would not be quick to let the lifespan of their children be put at risk through combat, so I believe they would restrict her from joining the military until she had at least reached adulthood. Elves were literally the first humanoid mortal race. 200 years ago, they didn't even have a united military or nation, but just started getting their act together. I dont believe they have either the militant culture or ignorance to allow their youth into the army before even reaching an age where they could actually fend for themselves.

As for ruining her personality, it really doesn't. As Psyche said, they can still be cocky teens around their 20's. In fact, they'd probably be considered teens for a while.

I didn't say ruin. Anway I'm heading to my dad's for most of the day and when I'm home I can think of something.

I swear I've seen a rule 34 of the character image.

If it's from an animated TV show, there's rule 34.

If you Google wakfu as an image search, there's rule 34 in bountiful quantities. Add a character name and you actually increase the amount that shows up per page vs normal pics.
