"Greetings..."
The Fortune Teller is an NPC that provides members a place to fully express the full range of their stats and skills that they have acquired by this point. Whereas the profile will give a basic idea of where their total stats may lie, this space gives a much more comprehensive look at how one's stats are set up, their bonuses, full breath of skills at their disposal, and more detailed information on Advance Weapons. More importantly, this space allows members to officially announce their Active Skills, as well as change them up whenever they desire (ICly, once per day).
* Note: Whereas the Skill Merchant thread is open to multiple posts, in this thread it is better to simply edit the same post. Although a time stamp will show when you last edit the post, please provide a list of changes to better track any changes you may have done (don't just delete your previous entries when you edit) . Although there is no limit to the number of times you make changes, please record (at a minimum) the last five changes you have made, as seen in the formatting example below.
Be aware that the information posted here is implied to be your default; you may freely switch up your skills during individual RPs, Missions, etc., just be sure to include a courtesy OOC note at the bottom of your post indicating any temporary changes. ICly, these changes can only be done once per day, so make sure you’re well equipped for the day! (or at least let everyone know if changes occur during a multi-day RP).
During an Event: whatever information you post here will be locked in for the duration of the event, starting from the time of your first post in the Event. This is to give the Admins an idea of your skills and abilities in an official capacity. Again, you are still free to make temporary changes in separate RPs, but what is here is what you have during a participating Event.
Remember that Skills will retain their rank regardless of whether they are in the Slots or the Pool. On that same note, ranking up skills can still occur regardless of whether the skill is in the Slots or the Pool.
*Reminder: The Fortune Teller is this RP group's way of making sure character creators are having their characters use the skills that they have in accordance to the Active Skills system. While you have to note the full breadth of your skills and stats here, ICly-speaking the Fortune Teller herself isn't fully canon, as someone with all the knowledge of every and freely giving it away would surely call attention from Lodan's law enforcement security and a lot of trouble overall. You are, however, free to ICly have your character have learned of another’s skills by previous encounters, reasonable sources of information, or even from a vague idea from a fortune teller figure. (TLDR: please avoid meta gaming when you can)

In terms of the applicable bonus, you may choose to specify where it comes from and when (if there is a timer or condition).

You may make personal tweaks to this format, so long as the information is communicated clearly and easily.
