With genius likely to be the winner I'd think scholar would be a better fit. Being book-smart would pair well with a young upstart with little experience. Not to say sports would be bad but when I think genius that's just not the first thing that comes to my mind. I'd rather play as someone that fights with their head than their muscles.

Genius is the unrestrained potential class of the five. It's the one class that can't have a bad fit because we have more freedom to focus it's development. Skills won't have a major impact on combat or the development of our spirit magic.

I know. I just meant that I think scholar is more aesthetically pleasing to go with it. My choice is based completely on vanity.
 
And that, as they say, is that.

    An athletic young hotshot from Nivveas you are, then. I'm going to need to polish my notes on things you would know as a Nivvean, but thankfully I don't need to polish them too much because History is literally your worst skill.

    So! With all of the big questions of character-building dealt with, just minor matters left to deal with. First of all:

    [][NAME] Write-in

    Onomastically, you should feel free to be creative. Nivveas, while obviously sporting a lot of Chinese influences, is extremely diverse (unsurprisingly, given that it's an empire covering most of a continent). Here are some examples of Nivvean names you might find useful:
    • Xiomara Delfin
    • Archelada Serafin
    • Thariden (personal name)
    • Red Cloud (personal name)
    • Calron (family name)
    • Dajin (family name)
    And one final detail: remember the Demonology and Astrology lorepost? I thought it would be nifty if you guys voted on what sign you were born under, and thus what astrological doom you have. Just for fun and flavor, you understand. It'll probably never come up.

    [] [ZODIAC] Python, the Serpent
    Born in Springdawn: "You will be consumed"

    [] [ZODIAC] Vexilla, the Banner
    Born in Highspring: "You will be conquered"

    [] [ZODIAC] Furmica, the Ant
    Born in Deepspring: "You will labor fruitlessly"

    [] [ZODIAC] Raster, the Harrow
    Born in Summerdawn: "You will be torn apart"

    [] [ZODIAC] Saltatrix, the Dancer
    Born in Highsummer: "What you love will leave you"

    [] [ZODIAC] Pardus, the Panther
    Born in Deepsummer: "What you fear will follow you"

    [] [ZODIAC] Eisoptra, the Mirror
    Born in Falldawn: "You will be hateful unto yourself"

    [] [ZODIAC] Meles, the Badger
    Born in Highfall: "You will know great strife"

    [] [ZODIAC] Cursor, the Runner
    Born in Deepfall: "You will never know rest"

    [] [ZODIAC] Gladio, the Sword
    Born in Winterdawn: "You will wound what you love"

    [] [ZODIAC] Gemma, the Jewel
    Born in Highwinter: "Your treasure will bring you no joy"

    [] [ZODIAC] Crategus, the Hawthorn-Tree
    Born in Deepwinter: "You will be imprisoned"

    [] [ZODIAC] Lamparus, the Lantern-Bearer
    Born on Lamptide: "All that you perceive will be hateful to you"
    (A Lamptide birth is generally understood to be extremely inauspicious)

    If we were a monster hunter this would be the obvious choice. We would just hack our way out afterwards.

    Oh no. It can only be our greatest weakness. TRIVIA!
     
    I'm gonna leave name making up to more creative folk, but I'm thinking:

    [X] [ZODIAC] Meles, the Badger

    Being surrounded by demons make it seem like this one is already coming true :V
     
    Meles, the Badger Born in Highfall: "You will know great strife" sounds like the obvious one, but:

    [] [ZODIAC] Pardus, the Panther
    Born in Deepsummer: "What you fear will follow you"
    [] [ZODIAC] Gladio, the Sword
    Born in Winterdawn: "You will wound what you love"
    [] [ZODIAC] Crategus, the Hawthorn-Tree
    Born in Deepwinter: "You will be imprisoned"
    [] [ZODIAC] Lamparus, the Lantern-Bearer
    Born on Lamptide: "All that you perceive will be hateful to you"

    These four sound like they could have great story interactions.
     
    [X] [ZODIAC] Lamparus, the Lantern-Bearer

    I see schmuk bait, I take schmuk bait.
     
    [X] [ZODIAC] Eisoptra, the Mirror
    Born in Falldawn: "You will be hateful unto yourself"

    [X] [ZODIAC] Meles, the Badger
    Born in Highfall: "You will know great strife"

    [JK] [ZODIAC] Blisterous, the Stairs
    Born in everwinter on the longest day of the shortest month of the most inbetweenish week at the most hapchance hour: "You will climb high, but suffer greatly"

    These will do for now.

    Honestly, why have a vote when there's only one option?

    [X][NAME] Lí Lan

    That's surname/given. Supposed to mean something like Black Orchid, hopefully. I want a name that works with the lantern-bearer sign, something ominous.

    [X] Odtsetseg Menge

    Name of a Mongolian origin. Odtsetseg means "star flower", Menge — "silver". But who will name their child a "star flower", with all the woes stars bring onto this world? Is it a peculiar way to ward off evil influence?

    [X] [ZODIAC] Furmica, the Ant
    Born in Deepspring: "You will labor fruitlessly"

    The genius deviates from orthodox ways only to get stranded. The web of endless possibilities traps the aspiring prodigy, and life teaches her a hard lesson on the futility of efforts.

    I like the idea of "I am being pursued by terrible things that wants to eat me".

    Self flagellation can be a great motivator! 9/10 psychologists agree (maybe).
     
    [X] [ZODIAC] Vexilla, the Banner

    Combined with our background and skill set, it really gives me anime love interest vibes

    Felt like going with something similar to the name examples. I like how it rolls off the tongue :)

    Not a lot of votes yet, and no clear leaders. Zodiac vote has a 5, a bunch of 3s, a bunch of 2s, and a bunch of 1s; @FallenPears, I notice you weighed in on some of the signs, but without Xs in your brackets the vote doesn't actually count. Did you mean to vote for those?

    Meanwhile, name vote is 3-2-1, so it's wide open.
