Nickname: None
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Occupation: Ninja Mage

~ Short, black, disheveled hair
~ Black eyes
~ A simple black shirt with an small insignia on the front. Also wears black, comfy pants.

History: Comes from a dojo specializing in magic rather than martial arts. While physically weak, Na'e doesn't need muscle when he can simply light things on fire or freeze them. However, he is still skilled in the art of stealth. He also has a history of consistently failing to complete the mission...
Other Info: Snores loudly. He also has an annoying tendency to trip a lot.

Name: Raikou Koukami
Nickname: Reika or Koukou, whichever floats your boat.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Occupation: Martial Artist
Appearance:
~ Hair: Long black hair with a few light blue streaks and dark blue tips.
~ Eyes: Right eye--Black with yellow pupil and outline (sign of the cursed ones) Left eye--Blue-black (genetic)
~ Clothes/Armor: A sleeveless black shirt with nice silver accessories and a fur-trimmed split skirt complete with shorts on underneath! When dealing with the underground, she wears a high-cut qi-pao and wears her hair in a more Asian style. She also wears a long, fur-trimmed trench coat-like clothing, usually red, black, or light blue (her family color) in color. (Think the female Stalkers from RO)
~ Others: Of course, one can never go anywhere without a ribbon in one's hair, a set of metal bracelets for fashion, and the ever-trusty dog tag complete with engraved name and seraphim's insignia!

History: Born and raised among a family where martial arts were the core to honor and pride, Raikou was constantly pushed to find her center and to strive to better herself to the point where she decided that if she was going to fight, it was going to have to be unarmed. Skilled namely in grappling arts, it's actually quite hard to land a blow on her, with weapons or otherwise. Though...magic might hurt a bit...
Other Info: She's actually quite good with grappling arts, and her nails are rather long and pointy.

Name: Adelle Sanque
Age: 16
Gender: F
Occupation: Assassin
Appearence:
~ Hair: Light Blonde
~ Eyes: Gold
~ Clothes/Armor: black T-shirt, black pants, black shoes
~ Others: Red Ribbon in Hair
~ Weapons: none

History: Skilled at many weapons including bows, swords, knives, shuriken, and many others. Parents and friends all died in a plague at her former home town. She was away when this happened. Came back to see little brother, Kaoru, afflicted with the disease.

Other Info: Easily trusted but not easy to trust others. Knows an ancient forgotten technique known as manacrafting. Uses the power that flows through everything to create solid objects of pure energy but it takes a lot of energy to do. Makes it easier to kill someone because she doesn't have any weapons that anyone can see. Unfortunately, she has trouble forming the weapon she wants.

Other Info: She is completely against fishing with fishing rods and nets, thinking it's cheap. She prefers to use spears and rocks instead.

Name: Vincent Van Reaux
Nickname: Van (or Vinnie to certain people)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Occupation:
Appearance: Assassin
~ Hair: Platinum Blonde with faint hints of silver streaks
~ Eyes: Red
~ Clothes/Armor: Thin. light armor that's easy to lug around, but strong enough take a few hits from a sword or two. With long sleeves that are baggy enough to carry weapons of all sorts in them and pants that cover every last inch of his legs, it's not hard to see that Vincent is a hitman. He seems to have such a high tolerance for heat that he wanders just about everywhere in the same type of outfit.
~ Others: Vincent has a necklace made of silver and four rings. Two silver rings for his and Raikou's engagement and two golden rings for their wedding day. Of course, if he never finds her, they won't be necessary.

History: The Van Reaux family has always been an opposing force to the Koukami family, but Vinnie here is going to make all that disappear with a little arranged marriage. He met with Raikou when they were a little younger, maybe around the age of seven if memory serves correctly. They two grew close and it seemed everything was going to be dandy with the little surprise that Torao Koukami made for the two, and then Raikou decided to vanish off the face earth. Torao told Vinnie here about the marriage that was supposed to happen. and so now Vinnie is pretty much burdened with the fact that it's either marry the runaway cursed one or send the two families into war...but then again. it's not so bad, she could be a fat girl that turns into a tiger when she's mad...that tries to sit on him...
Other Info: Vinnie (even if a little young) enjoys a nice spot of alcohol every so often. He also likes to listen to Raikou's corny speeches, and finds them either very entertaining or very informative. He also loses the necklace he wears a lot, but he always finds it in the end...though he shouldn't tell anyone about the little accident he had with them and the toilet. He also finds it strange that Torao could...really care less about who his daughter marries as long as it either a: brings her back to him, or b: gets control over both of the families.

Name: Familier de Dragon
Nickname: Fami
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: Two-Handed Swordsman
Appearance:
~ Hair: Black hair. It's cut from his neck to his forehead followed by a couple of spiked strands of hairs.
~ Eyes: Winter blues!
~ Clothes/Armor: Wearing a red button shirt with black thick sutures at the ends of his sleeves, he wears grey thick pants from hip to ankles. His boots are normally leather. The back of his shirt symbolizes fire. His blade is on the back of his belt strap going across his chest and back.
~ Others: He has a really small scar across his right eyelid. How cliche.

History: As a happy child, he was raised with his nice parents. Liking to go on risks, he ventures out of town. He entered to Tainted Cove just for the heck of it. There, he met a locked beast behind magical bars known as Taizenki. Familier was overjoyed to find a monster that can talk with him! Everyday from then, he visited the red dragon from time to time. All of his joy became shattered at the age of 15, where the cage lies in shards on the ground. As he entered back to his hometown, everything was left to ashes. The only thing left standing is Taizenki himself. As Taizenki smiled at his arrival, Familier fainted from the huge shock.
Other Info: He daydreams a lot when he's alone.

Name: Kaoru Sanque
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Occupation: Spellblade
Appearance:
~ Hair: Light blond with streaks of silver
~ Eyes: Gold
~ Clothes/Armor: Wears a blue shirt under chainmail. Blue pants.
~ Others: Short yet strong. Immature.

History: His older sister, Adelle, was away on a job when a plague hit the town killing most of the people in it. His sister came back but he told her to go away or she could die, too. He told her, "Stay away! Don't touch the others either..." before he fainted. He managed to survive from a superior immune system. No one else lived. He left the ruined town and trained so he could find his sister. That was 5 years ago...
Other Info: Also has the manacrafting ability but is better than Adelle at it. Not good at ranged fighting. Prefers swords and infusing them with magic to give them different properties such as a fire blade, lightning blade, etc.

Quote: "Ha! Adelle, this is how you do it."

History: His family and town was slaughtered by the Caylia Legion. He barely escaped with his life. He doesn't carry very many skills with him...
Other Info: Lonely, and shuns contact. He generally avoids others, and shields himself with a veil of cynicism. It is very hard to gain his trust.

Name: ??? (actually in a completely diffrent incomprehendable language, think Geno's roots)
Nickname: A.T.C.
Age: ???
Gender: M
Occupation: Unemployed, actually wanted in a different dimension
Appearance: That of a teenage boy (let me make this clear, he does NOT look like me)
~ Hair: light brown, average length
~ Eyes: Magenta, normally 3/4 to half closed
~ Clothes/Armor: Generic Red shirt (which is amazingly more durable than it looks) and grey pants (with unseen bandages and some leg protection underneath)
~ Others: He wears a necklace with a worthless jewel on it. It was given to him by his loved one before she died, he thinks of her to this day...*stops to allow fleshing later*

History: He has a long history, and has somehow arrived at a completely different dimension. He will not tell how he obtained his weapon or where he originally came from. His single utmost fear is finding the parallel version of himself in this dimension. His main intentions are unknown...only one thing about his goals remains clear. He will allow nothing to get in his way on his journey (on the other hand...if they step out of the way, he won't really care...at all...and you can pretty much just pass by him as you please)
Other Info: He carries the forbidden sword of a different dimension, it has the power to shift into whatever shape (given it retains the same mass) he pleases it to transform to...assuming he has enough blood sacrifice to do so, when in a pinch, he'll use his own. Actual power depends on his own strength
Quote: "I'm just passing through"

One final thing: he's pretty lazy, and won't be joining any group anytime soon

There, a character, R U HAPPAY?

He can jump in when Sanctuary of the Eternal Spirit or something else is booted up.

Name: Unknown
Nickname: Res
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male(?)
Occupation: Assassin
Appearance:
~ "Hair": Bleached White
~ "Eyes": White
~ Clothes/Armor: Red hooded cloak, black undershirt
~ Others: The only weapons he carries are concealed. His entire body is concealed. His movements are said to be as swift and silent as a Rigan's.

History: Very little is known about his past. Early in his life, he joined the ranks of the Caylia Legion when it was first founded. From there, he quickly proved his talent as a cold, killing machine, and his mere name strikes fear into those who now walk the face of Isiya.
Other Info: He's a bit strange. Actually, more than a bit strange. In fact, so strange, he might not even be human...

Name: Unknown
Nickname: Sil
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female(?)
Occupation: Mercenary
Appearance:
~ "Hair": Deep violet, with a hint of purple
~ "Eyes": Purple
~ Clothes/Armor: Scarlet velvet violet cloak, red undershirt, scarlet dress
~ Others: Carries a dark broadsword that can be summoned at will. All other weapons are concealed.

History: Very little is known about this mysterious female. With her slim, slender, and sexy build, she has never failed to charm those who stand in her way. Seductive, yet downright ruthless and cold, Sil feels no remorse when she slays her enemies: even when she is bathed in their blood.
Other Info: She's very closely related to Res. The two know each other very well.

Name: Llyud Sanque
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Occupation: Sniper (meaning a long-range bowman)
Appearance: Average height, Strong
~Eyes: bright gold
~Hair: Messy Brown
~Clothes/Armor: Tunic and a large quiver. On the tunic he wears a belt with supplies to make a fire and also a small knife. A large, Yew longbow with a very, very strong draw.
Other: Carries a sword for close combat when needed. Has supplies to make own arrows if needed. Very forgetful. His forgetfullness gets him into trouble a lot. He cannot use magic at all. His body rejects magic. Healing magic doesn't help him and offensive magic is not very strong against him. To compensate, his senses, healing, immune, strength, etc. are all greatly enhanced. Great marksmanship. If he fails to actually hit you in a lethal place, he most likely didn't aim for it. Has extremely good eyesight. If you are trying to see something very far away, chances are he can see it, and more. His bow is actually a family heirloom passed down from the very first generation. It is only passed on to those with more body than soul benefit. It has great powers which Llyud has been unable to tap in to.

History: Part of a clan known as Sisic that does quests for profit. Was recently kicked out for forgetting to tell the group leader that a quest was cancelled by the poster. They traveled 100 miles only to find a man who didn't need a quest done and wasn't going to pay a large sum of money for it. Now wanders about trying to get work. Cousin of Kaoru and Adelle. CANNOT MANACRAFT. Has no benefit of the soul, but has maximum benefit of the body. For info on the "soul/body benefits" see family blood line: history.

Tem (Trann)
Gender: Male
Age: 18(?)
Occupation: Wanderer
Appearance:
~ Height: 6'
~ Build: Average, somewhat on the scrawny side
~ Hair: Brown. It used to be a rather unnatural white, but he dyed it brown, the color he thought was most pleasing, to fit in the city of Valence. Much to his dismay, Tem has to re-dye his white roots every week or so.
~ Eyes: Brown. Like his hair, he remember them long ago that they were once white. Again, he doesn't remember when he got the (cheap) surgery to turn them into a normal color.

Clothes:
~ Head: Black bandanna. It helps keep the dust out of his hair, and it looks stylish too.
~ Top: Black shirt, with a gray jacket over it. Sometimes, it can get cold in Valence, so the jacket is just a precaution. He also never seems to take it off.
~ Bottom: Simple denim jeans. They're old and rather faded, but jeans can go a long way...
~ Shoes: Simple black shoes. Nothing to really see here.

History:
Someone who nobody ever seems to know. Ask the name "Tem" anywhere, and nobody will know. Tem is a lonesome drifter who can never seem to find a job. Every place he went to before rejected him, and he never really knew why. Maybe there was something different about him? He would never know, but after a failed career excursion in the town of Somm, Tem went to Valence as his next destination.

Tem never knew about his past. He cannot remember anything about parents, or a childhood, for that matter. The farthest his mind can go back to is the time when he started his endless wandering. In his memories, the last thing he could remember was waking up in the middle of a dark corner, naked. He also never knew about his name: he procured the letters "TEM" scrawled on his palm as he came to. Tem is always searching for something to do, but his secondary goal is finding out more about himself.

Other: Having been living on the "streets" for as long as he can remember, Tem has extraordinary streetsmarts and practical intelligence. He doesn't know how, but Tem can make the most innocuous of materials into weapons (for example, a rubberband-powered pistol with razor-blades for ammunition). His ability in speech aren't the greatest, but he can get out of sticky situations well enough.

Weapon: Magnablade

The magnablade is a small, compact dagger composed of the nearly indestructible metal, Magnum. It never dulls, and is absolutely impossible to shatter. However, it's not really a weapon, in fact, it's more of a utility knife, more than anything else. Its design and purpose are simple. It's light, easily procurable, and cuts things that need to be cut.

Tem keeps the magnablade in a small sheath at his waist. He rarely ever resorts to using it, but he knows that he's proficient enough with it to perform simple tasks or if the time ever comes, fighting in close quarters.

This character is for city of valence. I, of course, will not post until I get aproval so plz look over it soon!

Name: katherine zefrite
Nickname:kate
Age: 18
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Occupation: product developement (she designs guns and makes detailed drawings to be brought to a steamsmith who then makes it)

Appearence
Eyes: light brown
Hair: dark brown that goes down to her waist
Height: 5'7"
Clothes: blue jumpsuit with tears, cuts, and stains

History: only child. her parents hated each other by the time she was 15 but did not get divorced so that they could raise kate. When she turned 18, her parents divorced, gave her their apartment, and left valence. She got a job creating new designs for guns. She has come up with 10 ideas in her 6 months of work with one of them even going into mass production. She also gets orders from people. They tell her what they want in their gun and she designs it (assuming it is not unreasonable or overpowered.) Lately she has been having trouble coming up with new ideas of her own though she still designs guns for others.

Weapons: AP-SMG or armor-piercing submachine gun. It is a steam gun of her own design. It uses 30 10p ammunition per clip and has 3 steam cells. The many cells are to allow the gun to fire a round at very high speed and to do it fast. The gun weighs 6 pounds. It has a sling so it can be looped over the shoulder. It also has a foldable shoulder guard made of wood to reduce recoil. It has burst settings of 1, 3, and 5 along with the option to go full auto. It is very difficult to maintain and sometimes a bullet gets caught in the barrel, effectively shredding the it apart. As one might imagine, this gun is meant for 2 hands at once and is meant for short to medium range. This is one of katherine's prototypes so it is the only one in existence and is extremely hard to fix. It must have parts customly made by a steamsmith to be fixed.

Kate's other gun is pretty much just a small steam pistol using 6p rounds. It is meant for when someone is too close to her to use her other gun.

Other: I was wondering if I could say Arche was kate's usual steamsmith

Hate to get off topic but, Zandyne, can you PLEASE change your avatar to something that won't give us a seizure? (personally I have pretty sensitive eyes and it could save the rest of us an eyesore)

Sorry, but it's just a pain.

Also, welcome to the forum. I take it VVO led you here.

Hay, don't assume that was me! D':
I was about to ask who zandyne was. >_>
ALSO
If you're joining Dogfights, could you please post that in my character thread? :'3

Fixed. I don't know which RP to join yet. Can't there just be a general character thread instead to cut down on the confusion?

Much better, thank you.
As for which RP, read through each and see which one fits your liking.
Well, we aren't all that organized as far as the RP stuff yet (seeing how the alternate dimensions board was made a day or two ago). Dogfights is different due to how VVO wants the character setup, and it's on a stricter scale compared to the others.

Valiant poster Number of posts : 269 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-10-25

Well...mine is made mostly so I can pass individual judgement on each character/have an ooc thread for my own productions. It makes this thread less cluttered and makes me feel less like a thread hog when I take up every two posts with some form of criticism.

It's also much easier to find profiles meant for roleplay productions by me (well, I guess Ciri too) in a personal character thread. ^^;

And yes, if people aren't careful on their character's abilities and history, I am a little stricter. I do duck-puddle a bit for friends, but I'm not as nice as the others being the roleplay freak that I am. This is basically a fast-paced quick-post roleplay forum in my eyes. >_>

It would look like:

Another thread -> Character application and RP topics discussion interest
It would look like:

RP Discussion and Application->
*The Wacky Adventures of Whack
*The Mythical Rhine Stone
etc.

You already have the Character application and RP discussions thing going, you just don't have a character registry so rather than having people who say in the discussion thread:

I_hate_Sues: "*insert RP description/grab-line*"
I_luv_RP: "Oh hey can I apply with (linked) Zacka Jacka?"
I_hate_Sues: "Sorry but if you want to join he can't have X on him!"

You have the WHOLE shebang there. To put it into vague perspective you guys are bringing a bunch of books and reports to an interview instead of showing your degree to the person conducting the interview.

I'm now confuzzled, but I'm doing this with as few topics as possible since I don't want to be making every three topics on the roleplay thread (though I am tempted to have a character theme jukebox thread. -shifty eyes-). I use basic gaia knowledge for roleplay set-up, so the fact that I haven't made two separate threads for the characters and separate ooc threads and whatnot is amazing. xD

Which reminds me. I must harass Ciri to pick her characters for Savior in case it turns into the one x one.

This isn't GAIA, the reason for having a Character Sub-Forum is so that people don't have to deal with it, yet the directory of characters is within easy access rather than forcing people to browse characters tailored to each "universe".

That's like looking for someone via play they acted in rather than by phone book. Is any of this sinking in. ?_?

Valiant poster Number of posts : 269 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-10-25

I actually think it's neater to have it organized by phonebook, especially for th OP's of the roleplays and the ones that have to moderate the characters.

Example: I would really rather not have to look through this or have to post stalk someone just to find their profile to confirm something about said character (which I have had to do many, many times at this point) and I'd rather not have to have everyone's profiles on a word document. I have enough randomly named documents as it is with Nano coming around and Script Frenzy being butchered like mad.

I mean, it might not seem like a big deal now, but I've had the misfortune of having to look through seventy-four pages worth of profiles and ooc talk just to find a profile I needed to use for confirmation about a character. It made me die a little inside. Also, I'd really rather not have to look at a profile and have to guess "Where the hell did this person come from to begin with?" or "Which roleplay is this again?" It can get messy.

Besides which, being that I often have a million things to say about profiles sent in for my roleplay productions, I don't want to have to use this thread for explaining the specifics of a roleplay that I created that isn't going to apply to anyone else's (e.g. I don't think Cram would have wanted to explain CoV here). It can be an effort to iron out kinks in a profile sent in and more often than not I have specifics to a particular roleplay. It's just...massively neater to have a character thread for my personal roleplays. I'm not sure about other people's, but for sure I'd rather have my own thread. (Though I'm sure for non-Isiyan roleplays the title of this thread is pretty discouraging too).

Clearly you are not understanding the concept I just suggested to you. For someone who types so much you aren't reading and/or understanding a whole lot of what I'm saying.

Those who are applying to an RP must submit the LINK to their profile; you can copy paste, I can copy paste, this forum even has a URL shortcut button. There is no hunting required if they post the link to their character profile, if they don't submit the link to their profile they are not part of the RP. The concept isn't rocket science.

*tangent*
Also rule of thumb, if you have trouble keeping track of your works that means you have too many. Lack of memory is your brain's subtle way of saying you are past your limit. If you have to make so many rules for a game then you aren't playing a game. If you have to modify the players enough to your liking that you can't remember those traits, then you have some serious issues. As what's the point in asking for unique players if all you're going to do is butcher their traits beyond the point of recognition just to FIT your story perfectly? It's for the RPers to do that, not yours. You are not mother hen.

If the character does not fit the genre then don't put them in, ask for another character, creativity is unlimited, so if they want to be in your RPverse then they will MAKE IT SO. Your job as the RPverse creator is to create the world and to give PASS or FAIL to characters who apply (essentially the gatekeeper). If you're having trouble with keeping track of which "genres" or "worlds" your characters belong to then LIST IN THEIR PROFILE or in their Character Thread Title.

All of these characters have potential as unlimited as their makers, you can tie them down to a world or you can be flexible and let them explore other similar worlds, it's your call. But remember, by chaining them down to specifics YOU are chaining yourself to specifics.

Damn this font. -typed the code for size ten three times-

I hate to be blunt--actually no...I love being blunt. I just say I hate it because it seems nicer--but what you said made very little sense the first several times you said it. Shall I be blunt? I'm going to be blunt. If you're going to say something about links, then you should really put the words "link" or "url" the first time you say it. Not some wild way around the word. Unless you're doing descriptive writing for something that's supposed to be mysterious/unknown/is a plot point--which I don't think normal people do in normal talk for the most part--it's better to be blunt (unless it's something like my hideous school assignment where half of the questions can be answered with the word "sex" or "intercourse").

*countertangent/frustrated rant/writer's flip out*
I never refer to my own character profiles. They're usually very, very basic here. Of course, when a roleplay has (for some sad/unknown reason) twenty-seven profiles in a span of 74 pages, it's a little difficult to keep track of every one. Once I make a character--unless it's a completely pointless/useless one--I rarely ever forget him/her/it, but other people's characters can be troublesome to constantly be checking back at. Especially when people decide to name their characters very similarly or if half the cast has to have the same last name (e.g. in Furuba/Fruits Basket roleplays, characters will almost always have fourteen characters with the surname "Sohma" and on many occasions there will be that oh-so-beloved second family which makes 28 characters with only two different surnames--which can be a little bit more than hectic). AND, rule of thumb, you usually end up forcing your character to undergo revamps and modifications in order to effectively carry out the story. Ninety percent of the time, my failed characters end up getting the axe and never see the light of day. I have the ability to remember my characters because I put effort into making them. I'm sure other people remember theirs for the same reason. Don't accuse me of not being able to remember my own characters--I could throw over 80 names and backstories at you--and they'd all be linked to the same universe (for the most part).

I also don't recall ever saying that people had to butcher their characters, and if I implied it in any manner, then whoop-dee-freaking doo. People don't have to butcher characters for me. They have to put effort into them. It's the basic ideas of roleplaying. You join a plot because you like the story, not because you just want to throw around a character for no apparent reason (or you join because someone harasses you to. Seen my fair share of that too). I rarely ever ask for any more than minor changes--and most of them are only to fit in with the rules of the thread. And if you're talking about the character outlines in savior, those are only to fit the archetypal characters that the outline is to represent. An archetypal hero can't very well be an archetypal hero if he isn't self-sacrificing, and an archetypal mentor isn't very helpful if they don't have some wisdom to offer. Those are plot points--not butcher-fests. besides which, I don't even ask for a personality outline in my profile character sheets. Personality may be shaped by the past, but it's the personality that adds depth to a character. You can't very well have a person who watched their parents die or something be a giddy little balloon without people wondering why, after all. And no, I am not mother hen because mother hens are fairly intimidating and have surprisingly sharp beaks.

And I have never said that I have taken a character that doesn't fit the genre. I have only asked that abilities be given thought so that I don't have to flip out at people about godmod and powerplay. My job as the RPverse creator is to make sure that things move smoothly, not to "Pass" or "fail" characters. That would be the newb way of RPversing. Especially when doing a roleplay where you're forced to mirror post lengths shorter than your norm, you don't just say "No, your character sucks, bye" (unless the character is just totally out of proportion or doesn't follow a guideline that may/may not have been set), you say "Try to develop your character so that it has weaknesses" or suggest what can be done in place of an overused past or ability (because, believe it or not, no! Your RPC's parents don't have to die or abuse him/her/it in order to make his/her/it's past interesting!) to make the character stand out a little more so they'll be unique.

I don't have trouble keeping track of my genres and worlds--most of my works spring from the same universe (though of course, some are more developed than others for obvious reasons)--but in general for a roleplay it's easier for me to keep everything that might pertain to one of my roleplays into a personal thread. It's less of a pain and just neater overall. In the case of personal profile threads, I think it's simply much less of a pain to just look at it, know it's for my roleplay, and then pass judgment on it. As much as I might reuse characters and names and abilities, I usually decide which roleplay I plan on throwing them in first. Each roleplay is unique and will require a little bit of a different flare for the characters to logically be part of said roleplay. While I will not object that characters have potential, they are not unlimited potential. The potential of a character is defined by the potential of the creator--which is generally defined by the imagination or inspiration of said creator. I have no qualms against altering a character slightly to experiment with them--but I don't want to have to run around like a headless chicken just so I can see if the character can pass off as a decent character. As a matter of fact, the only limitations I have put on Dogfights was that the character not be a Sue/Stu and the character's age. I have not said that any character must be of a certain race, nor have I said that a character cannot have awkward quirks. Hell, I even help suggest how to fit quirks in logically into a story (e.g. Atoki originally was just going to eat his fallen opponents, but everyone in said roleplay is supposed to--so I simply suggested that perhaps he could eat them while they still lived).

I know how to make characters. I've been in the character-creation business since elementary school. I also know that when I create a roleplay, there are probably plenty of people that want to join with their own ideas--which is generally why I keep away from planning anything unless it's absolutely necessary. It's just easier to keep track of people that you need to know about when they're all in the same place. Try and understand that. It's not "chaining them down" to a universe. I haven't said that characters aren't allowed to be used outside of my roleplay, nor have I said "No, you're not allowed to be that character because it doesn't fit in the genre". I have only asked for small alterations which have had very little effect in the overall creation of the characters. I only have certain preferences and the desire to stick to laws and logic that have been set in a certain world, plane of existence, and/or universe.

I love being blunt, and I adore scathing sarcasm as well. I have trimmed the fat off of your words and translated them for sake of reading ease. Remember dear, quantity isn't always quality when making a post.

VVO-The obsessor wrote:: I didn't ask for clarification, I JUST KEPT REPLYING LIKE I UNDERSTOOD.

*lengthy rant*
I never look at my character profiles after making them because I claim to never forget him/her/it; but I can't for the life of me remember other people's characters. Other people's characters are hard to keep track of because they make boring names for them because they are FAN RPs, not ORIGINAL RPs (this is a subtle complaint)! And now I will assume you know nothing of character development despite the topic being about profiles which are the STARTING TEMPLATE of that character. I will reveal the secret that I use rough drafts.

I said I nitpick profiles, so WHAT? I will now lecture you for no solid reason about role-playing to try and sound amazing. I also claim not to ask for much like something as basic as personality but yet I ask for effort, there is no contradiction in my request of character creation. I'd like to say I'm no hen but I have a baby chick called "personal thread for my convenience," instead of making some big girl decisions or summoning up the effort to do things differently.

I will now claim that filtering out characters in the form of "pass" or "fail" for RP application is DOING IT WRONG. I will now rant about how difficult it is to reply to posts despite having nearly full reign of the universe as the RP creator (and thus prove I don't know how to filter characters/applicants properly since I am actively complaining about there being no shortage of incompetent RPers I have encountered).

I say I have no trouble with genres yet I doggedly stick to one in particular when it comes to originality. I will now claim not to be tied down despite only referring to one main universe or Fan RPs. I will also deny that potential is unlimited regardless of Zandyne saying nothing about who it applies to and in fact was probably talking about the idea/concept of potential. I will now tangent on my own opinions of it because I have deemed myself as having a degree in the subject.

To appear like I have full mastery of RP, I will now brag about my character creation skills which have nothing to do with the discussion at hand. I will also tangent on something not even talked about in the original reply, such as world credibility.

*end rant*

Now that I have thoroughly offended you by being completely honest with what I read in your reply, I will now provide you with some visual aids since comprehending the words coming from my text box is apparently not your forte.

Here is what a sensibly organized Role-Play category looks like when NOT based off of the damn Gaia model. (AKA what I was trying to suggest)

If you recall my very first post was "Can there be a general character thread?" Apparently that wasn't DIRECT enough of an approach the first time in your eyes. So I resorted to other methods, you even agreed to the idea in one post, then you come back and said you were confused again. At this point if you are still confused, feel free to rant again, I can walk you through step by step with other mediums if that is what it takes for you to understand. Simple organization was all I was suggesting. Not this desensitized ego measurement.

Now that that is out of the way, by all means be "blunt" with me alright? I do appreciate honesty.

Hate to be even MORE off-topic, but when I got the end there, asking for a general character thread was your 2nd post, after making a character with a decent amount of detail. As you just said however, quantity isn't quality. When VVO went through your character there were things that she found she didn't like. Your character, she doesn't like it, fine. Everyone has their own opinions on how and how not to play RPs. Setup, I'll admit, we're damn unorganized around here. It's not like the forum revolves completely around the RPs, hell...it was going to pronounced dead like thousands of other random forums you can find on the internet.

So to both of you: Fucking deal with it.

VVO: Calm down, the links and url to a profile Zandyne seemed to be referring to would just be the same as post-stalking which you already said you disliked. Otherwise, you're just throwing a bitch fit about how you want things done, the world doesn't revolve around you things can't always go your way. That's life, I'll talk to you more on this later. There's much more than this...
Zandyne: You may have your personal views of how the forum should be run as far as RPs that may or may not be beneficial overall. Here's the message: WE DON'T CARE. Actually, that should've been my entire post, just those 3 words. To both of you. VVO's picky-ness is based on not wanting a character that is entirely broken in said RP universe. There will always be limits, if you want to use something broken to that extent you're in the wrong forum. People have their rights to their opinions on how things are done, not to throw your ideas out the trash but...yes we're throwing them out the trash. See the 3 words above, that's pretty much what any further explaining I would've put in from here would be.

Overall: It's nice you're bringing this idea of how to organize the forum's RP section, but we could honestly care less. If you feel it's better for us to use this and we don't, feel free to go off while thinking "oh well, I tried, their loss" at this point you may as well.

i.e. Using something like Yukari Yakumo in Dogfights (It just doesn't work, there are some RPs that people find it better for only specific types of characters to enter). In other words, to prevent stuff that is overpowered or just honestly doesn't fit in (otherwise they can turn into things rather stupid) It's the reason that they don't mix (excuse me for using a different example) characters like Naruto into a Kirby universe. It doesn't work (ever seen Brawl's Subspace Emissary?). In that respect, there are ALWAYS limits. Some stricter than others, I don't care how much experience either one of you has had from RPing, the world works differently even in PLAY.

Side Note: Zandyne, where and how did you find this forum? I am required to ask since this was originally supposed to be a private forum and I don't know exactly who's leaking it. Also, that edited quote from VVO DOES qualify as trolling, as if you both aren't getting warnings after this anyway.

Anyway, we all tried to be nice on all our parts (although VVO may have been in a poor mood), Zandyne I could tell was trying to start out nice on the forum. Cram, forget him. For a site admin he doesn't do shit so don't mind him if he pops in every now and then as far as RP stuff. Me, I'm just here, but as I said earlier. You both have warnings and are on rather thin ice. (Zandyne's for trolling, VVO's for bitching)

So, let's all just recap (WITHOUT POSTING) as far as everyone's views, and maybe we can all be happy go lucky idiots again. (Isn't this just a pathetic pipe dream?)

As for my own views on RPing in general (off-topic, nobody asked for it, you don't have to care...actually that last part is a given I didn't even need to put down): The reason I've retired from RPing overall is because it just leads to these BS arguments about all these characters and universes and crap that are all part of a GAME. There's a reason it's called Role-PLAYING. But then it comes down to shit like Gaia fags, and other RP places, all with their ways and such. Zandyne's seems to go by a bit more of a lenient system, but even now just arguing about HOW it should be done, the fact such arguments even exist are rather sad. The fact I'm even taking part of these arguments and not even being in the RPs, is even sadder. Maybe the earlier point on characters Zandyne held (rather than the much larger point of organization) DID mean that there should be such RPs with no restrictions (like some bizarre fantasy of Kirby v.s. Yakumo) as long as the people have fun, it doesn't matter how retarded it is. (Keep in mind I tend to contradict myself a lot, so if you find such, don't even bother commenting on it, I most likely already know). Vast forms of RPs, fanbased, original, semi-original, nerd, I guess it would've been better to sum up this last section with just "I don't play RPs since I no longer find them fun...anywhere."

If any of that wasn't understandable to any of you two, just tell me and quote what parts (no editing said parts) on what you don't fully understand, maybe we can be a bit more civilized about this after all.

[Side note: Oh Kudo...Using kirby,brawl and THP in your post as references...When will you stop being funny!] On RPs I don't post as often because amazingly, my one paragraph posts are too short to be seen by the naked eye! (i.e. in void when I got impaled and people kept talking to one another like nothing happened. >_<) And Kudo is bored of the RPs because his only character ATC was a Gary Stu as much as Itou! I made a charcter Assignment Stick in Character data to accomadate the random character Ideas Zandyne or anyone else has an dictated that only the current RP leader may make first comment.

*shrug* OK.

My main issue was making sure what I was saying was clear, sure you don't have to care but that doesn't mean I can't clarify myself, correct?

Now am permitted to make a separate character thread for my own usage or what? Yes or no is fine.

As for how I found this place I was invited by one of you to see how you would react to others character profiles.

S/N: Mind pointing out where she said anything about my character? I saw no such post that directly referenced it aside from "Can you post it in the Dogfights thread?"

To answer your question, no, you are not (nobody is, in fact). You may only post a character idea in a thread that pertains to that specific RP (but if you want to make a new RP, by all means, make a new thread). Reviews and criticism will be supplied within that thread.

For your own information, the "general" character sheet is the "World of Isiya" thread. Almost all the characters in the RPs exist there.

I also suggest that you read over VVO's post again: it clearly suggested that you post in her thread.

I don't know who you are, but I'm guessing VVO invited you here...?

Assuming I was joining Dogfights you'd be absolutely correct. However that is not necessarily the case as I clearly have no idea which RP to join yet, so as lovely as the suggestion is, it's a bit moot.

Thank you for the other information though.

Thank you for the other information though.

In this case, you should just post your character here, then "fish" that character out whenever you decide on an RP.

You just told me THIS (The World of Isiya (Character Sheet)) was the general character thread. So why would I post it in Dogfights? I hate to point out how contradicting your suggestion sounds. :\

Dogfights (and the rest of VVO's RPs) is/are an exception. It is separate from the rest of the RPs, seeing how it is VVO's creation, and not one of the original member's. So if you would want to make a character for Dogfights, you should post a character in THAT thread.

But you said yourself that you didn't know which RP to post in. In that case, I can't help you anymore: that's your choice to make.

Basically, you have to know generally WHICH RP you'd want to join before making a character, because each RP is slightly different (much more so VVO's), and each demands a different type of character.

To answer the side note earlier: VVO told me in a conversation outside of this forum, that's all.

And lastly, could you clarify which member?

@sickling
So let me get this straight, I cannot use characters I have created for general usage (or on other forums), but rather must make an RP discussion thread just so that the character can count as "existing" on this thread? Am I reading that right?

If so, am I permitted to just make a "Zandyne's Character Profiles" thread? (I'll just make that thread and you can delete it if it is somehow breaking a rule somehow.)

@kudo
That's all very fine and good but it fails to serve as a point of mention if she didn't mention it anywhere on this forum.

And no I cannot clarify which member, they requested that I do not reveal such sensitive information. There is nothing in the Rules/ToS that says I must say which member invited me either, so please, ask no further.

1. No, you cannot. If you already have a general character, then it would be someplace else already. You don't have to put it on a new thread so everyone can see it: post that character in whichever RP thread you'd like to join, and await criticism there.

2. No.

P.S. And as a reminder (Kudo said so already) you are walking on thin ice. Keep that in mind.

So I can't make thread just for hosting my character profiles in a section called Character Data? Alrighty, I'll just make an RP discussion thread, where do I make that?

PS Where are the rules for this RP section? This is an honest curiosity, how can I "watch myself" if there are no formal rules for the respective RP forum? There is nothing even vaguely addressed about the RP process in the Rules and Regulations thread.

A character discussion thread is fine, it can go in the outside forum.

The (unspoken) rules of the RP section are as follows:

1. No flaming
2. No trolling
3. Be nice (a.k.a. Don't be an ass)
4. HAVE FUN
5. Follow the rules for each individual RP (if any)
