So my group has two explosion happy gun bunnies, a doctor/face (No real combat skills), a hacker afraid to be out in his meat (go figure), and then me with a melee mage (That I feel I have partially wasted my bp because of the two gun bunnies). So I've been throwing up little ideas here and there to stimulate my mind for a new character concept. I am a believer in Mages only have one element they can learn (Because this is a decent RP group and not just combat lovers, so some limits are in place in my head.) With all that in mind...here's concept number three for critque, slam me with your constructive criticism please ^^.

Fake SIN Rating 3 Demetri Valentine
Alright, that's the most of it. Slap me, beat me, roll me down a hill. Help me see the light if you can, I'm feeling fairly good about this one. Stuff to build on, and a decent proper mage. Got magic to use for attacking, a fallback if he takes too much stun/physical, and not completely slow as hell.
