Sssso I took a look at the application form again and realized that I need to list 4+ powers, with 2 picked at random to be my experienced Dreamer's starter powers.
The problem is that I need Frieren to start with two specific powers that are heavily intertwined with her backstory. One is an ability that Frieren canonically has prior to becoming her mentor's apprentice, and that I'm having her learn early on in the AU; I can't imagine Frieren taking 16 years (the amount of time she's been a Dreamer) to acquire it. The other is her mentor's signature ability; since her mentor has passed away, she has to know it by the time she joins the game. Not only that, she has a power she forgot due to a Nightmare attack, so it can't be picked as a starter as it would contradict her established lore.
Frieren learning spells is something that is integral to her character both in her canon and in her AU, and so I was looking forward to playing with this. It would be difficult for me to adjust the backstory because it's pretty much locked down at this point, and I feel it would weaken it if I had to. Would it be acceptable to request a special exception and choose her starting powers in this case? I would still list 4+ powers, of course.
