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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Whale Wizard
Wizardry is power granted by the Powers that Be, the ability to use the Speech to make changes to the world. Different cultures and species come at wizardry differently -- whales gain the knowledge they need from listening to the Sea. Because wizards rely so heavily on speaking their desires and having the universe answer, they are averse to lying, even when speaking their native languages. Oaths they make can be binding, up to and including the oath they make on becoming a wizard, which has a number of forms, but runs along the lines of:
"In Life's name and for Life's sake, I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Life’s service alone, rejecting all other usages. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so — till Universe’s end."
If a wizard knowingly breaks their oath, they will lose all ability to do wizardries, as well as even the memories of having done so. There is a reason that wizardry is uncommon.
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀᴇᴅ ᴡᴇᴀᴘᴏɴ: Unarmed
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀᴇᴅ ᴀʀᴍᴏʀ: Cloth, though whales don't normally bother with much.
sᴛʀᴇɴᴛɢʜs: The Speech, even when filtered through S'reee's memory and the Asterisk, is designed to be able to describe anything there is. Spells are modular and can be altered as easily as one can speak or write (or otherwise communicate).
ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs: Large effects come down to complexity and energy. Spells intended to work on life often require a great deal of intimate knowledge about that life to work properly, and incorrect knowledge can alter the target. A wizard will check and double-check their own name in a spell, even if copied from memory, and will be extra cautious about casting a spell on an ally that does something they normally can’t do (healing is usually safe, but a teleport might require a ten minute question and answer session to get enough information to describe the person). The wizard's oath is binding; it allows for accidents, self-defense, and predation, but wizards cannot be reckless about their use of force if they want to keep their abilities.

- Enacture ought to be reworked. A 0000 exp skill cannot be an universal translator. Furthermore, matter works differently in Vaikuntha therefore it would be impossible to speak to items and such.
- The skills with two different possible effects or interpretations need to be reworked so only one effect is possible for a skill. This includes all the Words skills. Words of Healing needs to be severely nerfed as well and cannot both heal and esuna.
- Words of Space-Time cannot exist in MoE as such teleporation is impossible through normal Jobs. At best it can be an equivalent to Time Mage's.
- The 1000 Skill should be a proper skill made for the Job itself, not a skill from another Job. Please revise it.

APPROVED
The development of the Custom Job will start on May 25. 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 June 8th at the earliest (or later, depending on how often she can go to the laboratory.)
