If I tried to categorize a couple of my characters, it'd probably fall into this:
??? (Unintroduced): Potent Midrange
??? (Unintroduced): N/A; no magical talent, presumably?
SCYNMIRKIRAELO NILREM,BRILLIANTVISIONARYUSELESS SORCERER: N/A; no magical talent. This was different once before, and he had what would probably be classified as Manipulation or Creation magic and, well let's just say the source of his power led to a ridiculous power boost. Keyword: Had. He now has magical abilities similar to how a granite slab has dancing abilities, except the slab is far better at it.
RIOE Nilrem: N/A; no magical talent.
Elijah Serilunial: Potent Destruction, though he's VERY rusty.
Ezekiel Vketunr: Balanced Creation
??? (Unintroduced): Eldritch Manipulation, does nothing with this power and doesn't intend to do anything with it. This character will also show up probably only once, briefly. Essentially 753 level powers. This won't really come up at all, though, and at most would be mentioned in passing.
??? (Unintroduced): Eldritch Reality Warping. This one-ups the last. Don't ask. The character herself will probably only be mentioned at most. So yes, while I do have a couple of intentionally completely OP characters, they're mostly there for background flavour stuff, and WILL NOT have an effect on the RP (asides from maybe involving one of my other characters, slightly, and that doesn't even involve their magic) so don't worry. Only reason I'm even counting them as characters is because they are vaguely relevant and do have backstories themselves.
// Ah, nice. Guess I'll do the same for mine.
// Umbra is classified as a Balanced Destruction mage- more specifically, 3.5-star Cryomancy.
// His Anomaly form, however, is a 4-star Potent Midrange mage due to the added weapon summoning and what I've decided to call Eyes of Cacophony.
// Syntax and the unidentified Glitch are both non-magic users.
// And finally, since I've already kinda spoiled him... The Sergeant is a 5(possibly even 6 if it existed)-star Potent Manipulation mage. You'll find out why later. Much later.
