1 Character Creation
[This is not a copy and paste, I had to write ALL OF IT... :( my poor fingers]
As she tried to speak, her voice became lost as no sound came out, instead, she chose to watch as the screen changed.
[Welcome to Afterlife, you have been chosen for reincarnation in the world of the Witcher]
Scrunching her eyebrows, 'the Witcher, the game? I never completed any of them'
[That is precisely why we chose you, now, we will begin your character creation]
The small screen vanished as a bigger one took its place.
[You will transmigrate as a witcher, each choice you make will change your personality once you become your character]
[Your character will have their own personality as you make them, so, when your soul enters the body, both of your memories, personalities, skills, and talents will merge to make you stronger than ever]
[Now, let us begin]
------------------------------------------------------
The Viper School: This Witcher guild emphasizes alchemy and the preparation of extremely dangerous and lethal poisons. Its members have extensive knowledge of herbalism and know how to manipulate rare plants that only they know to extract poisons that other schools would refuse to approach. They are accustomed to ingesting very high doses of alchemical and, as a result, their bodies have adapted to the consumption of elixirs that only they are able to swallow without dying. The witchers from the Viper school are also immune to diseases and the venoms secreted by the monsters they hunt and most existing poisons. These witchers are the ones that normally carry the most equipment and traps with them, most of which were made by themselves: Ice bombs that freeze entire ships in the blink of an eye, poison oils that will never expire, medicines that endow any natural skill or sense for hours... in other fields than alchemy, they are not particularly more effective than the other witcher schools but you DONT want to face a witcher of the Viper school when they have just drunk their potions.
The Bear School: The first witcher from this school are ferocious hunters from the forests and mountains of the north, used to endure very difficult living conditions. The bear school members' fighting style is simple, straightforward, and wild. Unlike other witchers, they are unable to use any sign. Not only are they not trained in magic in their youth, but even if they did, they can't cast any spells. The cause of their mutations. They are the most highly mutated of the witcher guilds. This results in greater bodily changes than their peers. Some of them have fangs, others have very large hairs, and some have claws where their nails should be. But their organisms are undergoing major improvements. They can regenerate at high speeds, their open wounds closing in only a few hours without drinking potions. their senses are just as sharp as any witcher from the other schools that have drunk their potions. They have the physical strength almost equal to a bear.
The Wolf School: The members of this school are the most versatile of all witchers. They are comfortable in all areas without excelling in any of them. They are very good fencers endowed with formidable reflexes, they possess magical knowledge and can use most of the signs at an acceptable level. They are able to make a great variety of portions and elixirs for combat... However, they are distinguished from their peers by their quasi-surgical knowledge of the anatomies of the monsters they face, much more extensive than other witchers. They are also unparalleled trackers, able to deduce from the shape of a corpse's wounds the exact species of monster that killed it, to detect minute traces in the environment, to accurately guess the direction of their target, etc... All of these skills make witchers of the wolf school multi-purpose fighters, wildlife scholars, and high-level investigators with highly sought-after expertise.
The Cat School: This school has had a sordid reputation for centuries. One of the reasons is that its members are, to a large extent, witchers from other schools whose mutations have been aborted, giving them the physical capabilities of a witcher such as nyctalopia or higher-than-average reflexes, but also various mental handicaps: insanity, schizophrenia, psychopathy, or frequent hallucinations. This school, as elven as it is human, has astonishing characteristics as the only school to accept women into its ranks during its history. Its members have much higher agility and speed of movement than other witcher schools. Their exotic fighting style is entirely based on fast dodging and precise counter-attacks. It is well known that witnessing a witcher of the Cat school fight is a fascinating spectacle, halfway between hypnotizing dance and bloody slaughter. These switches also specialize in silent movements, accustomed to taking advantage of the darkness to surprise their enemies, able to infiltrate the den of the monster they hunt and approach it until they can touch it, without being spotted. As a result, It is not uncommon for witchers of this school to become professional assassins or bounty hunters.
The Griffin School: The witchers of this school tend to be somewhat less efficient fencers than their peers, with a fairly academic and basic fighting style. In terms of alchemy, they also seem to be a bit behind their colleagues, knowing how to make only the most classic and common potions. However, they have taken up a more advanced form of magic. While not as experimented as Wizards, they are capable of employing a large number of high-level spells. Not only have they developed signs that only they know of, such as the Veoth Sign that emits an ultrasonic sound capable of disorienting the most dangerous of monsters, the Gal Sign which allows them to teleport short distances, or the very strange Xul Sign which allows them to communicate with animals or the monsters they are hunting for a short period of time, but they also master the most basic Signs to a more advanced level.
[Notice: If you choose any school other than the School of the Cat, you will become male]
