[X] Lignimancy - This allows Kaitlyn to perform magic based on plants, especially trees. She can twist nearby trees to cover her and deny others cover by warping wooden structures. This also allows her to get a general sense of the area's ecosystem and geography by touching a plant and channeling her mana, though this is more useful in places with more vegetation or with plants that have extensive root systems. She can also use her skills to isolate useful chemicals directly from plants. Adds a +2 to dice rolls involving wood and vegetation.
[X] Geomancy - This allows Kaitlyn to perform magic based upon the land and the dirt around her. For an example, she could conjure up cover in the midst of a shoot out. This also will allow her to have a general lay of the land through the use of her magic by touching the ground and channeling her mana. Adds a +2 to dice rolls involving rocks and geography.
[x] Pyromancy - This allows Kaitlyn to be unburned by her own magical flames. She can have various uses for flame spells, such as to light the camps fire or to even cauterize a wound if she were to use it specifically for that. Adds +2 to dice rolls utilizing flame based magic.

[X] Ferromancy - This allows Kaitlyn to perform magic based on metal. For example, she can sense metal near her, cause it to bend away from her in flight, and can easily shape unattended metal or metal she's holding.
Just another write-in to complete the nontraditional earth elementalist set. I'll admit some influence from Jim butcher's Alera series, but I think I toned it down a bit. Smithing, literal bending of metal (more thrown knives than bullets, although I'd figure she could try on one she sees coming) and metal senses work real nice as an alternative sense.

Just gonna add ourselves a little vote tally here.
As of current, it looks like Kaitlyn may be a nature lover.
Edit: It seems we have ourselves a tie.

Because I'm antsy and wanna write(Though I have two more char gen options after this), I'm only going to hold this vote open a few hours longer. If the tie persists between the second option, I shall be flipping a coin between the two of them.
On a side note, I added a poll to the quest and have been working on the NPC's some more, as well as lore and informational to add in the money, the year, and some other general information. I have also added the Province that Keira and Kaitlyn are from, as well as their parents(whom are both still alive.)
Edit: Also added in character ages for the gang members.
Hm, I may have an idea which I'll suggest to the thread, although it was originally given to me by @Wysteria
How would you feel about combining Geomancy with Ferromancy? Technically, metals are from the Earth, like rocks. I know it isn't quite the same, but I'm alright with bending some things for you guys.
I love the idea. I also like the idea of natural geomancy, with an option to learn/research ferromancy and lignimancy from mysterious old ladies / stolen books, since they're along the same lines but more specialized, kinda?
I'm moderately surprised no one has come up with a write-in centered around healing magics.
I had an idea of it, but I didn't know quite what to call it nor how to describe it.
With this in mind, I'll be leaving the vote open for around thirty more minutes before I go ahead with combing the last few votes before the quest begins proper.
Those votes will be: (Keep in mind we are not currently voting on these, just allowing you to see what the options are now so you can get to thinking and debating if you would so desire.)
How long have Keira and Kaitlyn been in the gang(Minimum of three months, maximum of a year.).
Did Keira have anyone special to her in a romantic way before she saved her sister?(Keep in mind, Keira is bisexual in a world that might not be fond of her sexuality. This can make for some interesting writing on my end.)
Has either sister killed after Kaitlyn's former suitor was killed?
How often does Kaitlyn go out into jobs?
What breed(within reason as I shall be looking up prices of horse. However, you make up a good enough horse-thief story, I may well be inclined. This is just as much your story as mine.), which gender of horse, and what name? And do both of them even have a horse?
Depending on which wins the poll, what kind of cat/dog? Male or female, and what name?
[X] Ferromancy - This allows Kaitlyn to perform magic based on metal. For example, she can sense metal near her, cause it to bend away from her in flight, and can easily shape unattended metal or metal she's holding.
I'd be cool with it, though I'd say that if you go with that, Ferromancy (and maybe also Lignimancy) should be specializations or evolutions of geomancy rather than default givens? Earth-based magic can really cover a lot when you get started on that kind of free association. Expand the basic coverage too much and the other elements start looking really narrow and restrictive.
Otherwise, given the element-centered options given, I actually made up Lignimancy as the closest equivalent to healing magic you can pry out of elements-- well, without getting something potentially gruesome, like carnamancy. I'm game for body horror, but I figured other people might prefer something a bit less extreme?

was actually very well inspired, I shall be adding it in the form of +1 to her rolls having to deal with magic dealing with that.
Onto the next Vote(s): I would prefer plan voting here, however I will allow you to vote only on what you care for for each option as I shall be tracking them mentally myself.
