Hello guys! I'm new to forum RP, though I have played tabletop, mmo, and standard vidya rpg's my whole life. Valkyr, I love the twist in your characters' backgrounds. That's gonna be great to see develop.

Here is my character -

Name: Mayura
Animal: Peacock
 Gender: Male

Feather & Eye Color: Standard peacock. Blue and green feathers, streaks of purple and brown. Golden "eyes" on the tail feathers. Eye color is pink (that of the lotus flower).

Hissatsu: Fire - Mayura "stares," with his tail flared, at an object or being. This causes the molecules in the object/being to vibrate to the point of bursting into flame. Drawback - all "eyes" must be staring at the object/being (unable to use Hissatsu while flying or if his tail cannot fully expose all "eyes").

Item: Golden necklace with an engraved Om symbol on an upside down triangle. This was given to him by his master, Paramatma. It is said to be created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead that enhanced the user in a unique way. This gives Mayura the ability to use the "eyes" on his tail to perceive through.

Personality: Extremely balanced. Anger, happiness, sadness, love, etc. have little affect on him. He is friendly, helpful, and knowledgable.

Background: He grew up in a distant land where money, Hissatsu, and strength were power. He lived in the forest with his parents. At a young age they knew that he had the powers of Hissatsu and sought the fabled master of Hissatsu. Upon finding him, Paramatma instantly knew the potential of young Mayura. After training for several years, Mayura's forest was attacked by a neighboring warlord, Masudeva, the reptile king. The student and master valiantly fought off the army for two days. On the third day Paramatma told Mayura to stay hidden in a nearby tree. He watched as Paramatma sat on the ground in a meditative position. The warlord was there personally that day. He asked the master if he had any last words. He replied, "The burning of a tree is not destruction, but the creation of new life." Masudeva then stabbed is tail through the neck of Paramatma. Mayura had never felt anger before, and cried out for the death of his master. When he awoke the forest was vaporized and only left charred ground for a few hundred yards in every direction of him. "What happened?" he asked. Remembering his master's last words he set out on a new life, vowing to return and bring peace and prosperity to all living creatures of his homeland.

Small update on Mayura's item :)
