Arts (the ninja style).  But keep in mind that as of right now the only skills from the Night Caste group that anyone else has are: Dodge (just about everyone and for the most part high ranks), Awareness (highest anyone has is 2, no Charms) and Athletics (highest rank is 3, with one Charm).  So if you just focus on noncombat Charms you be doing things that no one else can. Other skills we are missing: Dawn:  ThrownNight: Stealth, LarcenyZenith: right now each skill is being used by someone, but the highest Performance we have is 2Eclipse: Sail, and our highest Bureaucracy is 2Twilight: Craft, InvestigateNot to say you have to take these, I’m just showing you what we are missing.  I can say that sooner or later, Investigate will become helpful, just because I haven’t been in a rpg game where it wasn’t helpful. And one last thing:  If you have a picture of your character that you want to use in case I decide to make maps, post it up.  I’m not sure if I’m going to make a Rogues gallery thread or not, it doesn’t seem necessary to me, but if you guys want one, we can make one no problem.</blockquote>
