CUSTOM JOBS
 INTRODUCTION What are Custom Jobs? Custom Jobs are built out of the characters's powers and abilities back in their homeworld. Using a Custom Job, they can recreate their powers and use them in Vaikuntha by fitting the Job format. Custom jobs must be based on the characters skills in canon. If their skills are very closely aligned with an existing job, we will ask you to use the existing version rather than creating a custom version. The learning process for a Custom Job is the same than for regular Jobs: EXP has to be spent for characters to be able to use their powers in Vaikuntha. Native OCs can develop Custom Jobs after regaining 3 memories of their past life. Jobs do not need to focus on numbers, and are meant to guide RP battle threads rather than be a list of calculations. Any percentages we list in the standard Job List are to give you a basic idea of attack potency, and are not considered exact. Jobs should be simple and easy to understand. If you can’t explain something simply, the mechanic you are proposing is likely too complex. Skill descriptions should be in line with the skill descriptions of the existing job classes in terms of length and complexity. A Job that doesn't focus on a specific magic/skill (healing, AOE, single target, etc.) should not be more powerful than a regular Job focused on that area (Ex- White Mage is focused on healing and uses their supreme skill to raise a single character. A skill that can raise at a lower (non-supreme) skill level or raise multiple people will not be accepted). Can my Custom Job have Modifier, Bonus and Supreme skills? Yes. They work exactly the same way than they do for other Jobs. The Supreme Skill of a Custom Job is an improved version of the character's Melody. The requirements to learn it are the same than those for any Supreme Skill. Learning the Supreme Skill of a Custom Job locks you out from learning any other Supreme Skill and from using your character's Melody as a Melody: choose wisely whether it's worth the sacrifice. Can I have multiple Custom Jobs? Your character can have up to two Custom Jobs: one of their own making and one they've learnt from someone else. You cannot have two Custom Jobs or your own making or two Custom Jobs learnt from someone else. BUILDING A CUSTOM JOB
Availability Custom Jobs are available two weeks after a character started working on it. They have to work on it for the two weeks, two hours a day in the Curti Center with Ganeshan and the scientific team, since data for the Custom Job rely on the character. Data is extracted from them and poured into the Job Crystals, then they must run tests and simulations to see if the Job works correctly. Statistics You can use a grand total of 20 points to spread across your stats. You can have only 1 S-Rank and only 1 E-Rank. You can have only two stats with the same rank (maximum of two As, two Bs, etc). S: 5 A: 4 B: 3 C: 2 D: 1 E: 0 Skills Skills shouldn't be redundant (aka, an early skill shouldn't get replaced by a later skill). Likewise, you should start with the weakest skill and end with the most powerful skill. 1000 EXP skill can be used only once a hour as they are more powerful than the rest (eg: ultima). Skills can share the names and effects of pre-existing Job skills should it be part of the character's powers (eg: bandanna for Snake, Shadow Flare for Sephiroth). Bonus Skill should be something non-battle related and somewhat minor compared to the rest, but that is specific to your character and was erased in Vaikuntha. Melody is the same Melody you submitted, but stronger and on Supreme Skill scale. This is optional. Modifier Skill can be a weaker version of a regular skill / job effect or something different that's part of your character's toolset. It will be available only when using another job (eg, Zelda's triforce giving her skills a boost, Mario retaining his ability to jump high, Harry Potter being able to use a wand to cast his skills). Form Use the form below to submit you Custom Job in this post. We'll review and either accept, reject or ask for revisions within a 7-days delay. If the job is not properly revised after two attempts, it will be rejected. It is recommended you keep a copy of the Custom Job form in your journal, should you modify it for revision requests. SHARING CUSTOM JOBS Who can I share my Custom Job with? You can share your Custom Job with any player character, outworlder or natives. However, they can only learn up to the skill you've learned (eg: if you're at the 750 EXP skill, they won't be able to learn any further until you get to the 1000 EXP skill). Any Custom Job owner can have only one Apprentice at a time. Once their apprentice has mastered the Custom Job (1000 EXP), they can take on another apprentice if they'd like. Apprentices cannot learn the Melody / Supreme Skill of a Custom Job. Shared Custom Jobs use the EXP system. ICly however, it is expected for the Master to train the Apprentice and teach them how to use the Custom Job. Form Please reply in the appropriate thread below to become someone's apprentice. Both players and their characters must be okay with it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

- Scintilla should be nerfed to have only the pushback or the stun effect.
- We would like to have a specific number for the buff per ally with Reunion.
- Improved Regeneration should be nerfed, to be in line with the glass canon idea of the Job.
- Wall should be much higher in the skill ladder, as equivalents in other Jobs for such a skill are at 500 exp minimum and do less than Wall.
- Heartless Angel should be removed as it is an existing skill that works very similarly to that of Calamity Knight. Should you wish to keep it, it should be reworked to be less powerful and target only one target.

Jenova’s Chosen
As the Lifestream burst out of the Planet to save itself from the devastating impact of Meteor, many considered it to be the salvation they had hoped and prayed for. None could have suspected what would follow next, as Sephiroth’s will merged with those streams and travelled around the world delivering his ‘stigma’ to those that were already so very close to complete despair. The seeds for the next Reunion already spread to the masses as Sephiroth spirit still refused to be dissolved by the Lifestream; Jenova’s legacy would never be destroyed.
2 years passed until Sephiroth yet again -empowered by the tainted souls he’d claimed within the Lifestream- yearned for an existence with which to finish things.
Prior to Sephiroth’s last defeat by his arch-nemesis Cloud, he had ascended to a new level of existence and so had become much stronger than in any other previous encounter in canon. This Job is what, so far, has been able to be retrieved of those powers that deliver parts of Sephiroth’s legacy, as Jenova’s Chosen.
A purely selfish Job which combines Sephiroth’s lethal combat capabilities alongside psychic-abilities granted in part by his assimilation with Jenova, and his immersion in the Lifestream. It’s further complemented by a strong, indomitable will that will never yield to defeat.
FAVORED WEAPON: Katana; all sizes. Though most proficient with longer swords, such as Sephiroth’s own signature blade - Masamune.
FAVORED ARMOR: Light to Medium armor; a variant of Sephiroth’s own leather + shoulder plates style is of course ideal. Anything heavier and this job would lose something of it’s indefinable finesse.
STRENGTHS: This Job is powerful in terms of the attack potency for all of it’s skills, both physical and magical with magical referring to those psychic/spell-based skills which are still strong, but a rank lower than physical power. It’s reflective of Sephiroth’s ‘legendary’ strength, skill and finesse with a sword, not to mention the precise, unhesitant way that he executes lethal techniques. It’s an extremely selfish Job, with Wall supporting it’s otherwise lacking defense and Reunion which essentially feeds off party members’ despair to grant a buff to the user.
WEAKNESSES: Without the Gaian Lifestream (or an equivalent to use on Vaikuntha) to support such strength, the greatest weakness for this Job is the downtime required after its use in combat. In the days following any prolonged use -such as a boss battle- the vast draw on a person's energy causes a burn-out, developing into the top-end of hangover-like symptoms alongside reduced immunity and stunted effects from healing. The best remedy for this is long, old fashioned sleep in order to let one's body recover naturally; hard to achieve though, without assistance from magic or medication.
Also what this Job has in all of its other attributes, it falls short in defense and healing potency. Without Wall active it could be considered very much a glass cannon, and takes more effort than most jobs to keep hp topped off. That said, offense is the best defense when it comes to Jenova’s Chosen.
physical power: A
magical power: B
attack potency: S
healing potency: E
physical defense: C
magical defense: C
speed: A

The development of the Custom Job will start on May 4th. Starting from then, your character will have to come at least two hours a day, for fourteen days to Ganeshan's Laboratory. This is necessary so the Moogles, Ganeshan and the other assistants can ask them crucial questions and extract the data they need in order to craft the perfect Custom Job. They will also pass tests to try out certain skills during the development. They don't have to go for fourteen days in a row, but they will have to be done with this before the Custom Job be finalized.
Their Custom Job will be ready on May 18th at the earliest (or later, depending on how often he can go to the laboratory.)
NOTES: For Reunion, the buff will be capped at 25%.

To have it stated somewhere / if you guys are keeping track etc., Sephiroth would have the asterisk available from around 29th May.
