[quote=@Rin] So here we go, I guess! I wasn't sure about whether she should have Force or Focus for her attribute, but I figured that since her power is supposed to run on hotblood and guts Force was [i]probably [/i]the safer bet. But if you'd prefer I can easily change it to Focus. ^^; Anyways... [hider=Ranca] I feel weird directly pasting my own stuff into posts, [url=http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/art/Ranca-Blom-527802819]so have a link instead.[/url] [list][*][b]Character Concept:[/b] [i]"The idiot hero, powered by hotblood and guts, who finds injustice [b]UNFORGIVABLE[/b]."[/i] [*][b]Name:[/b] Ranca Blom [*][b]Gender:[/b] Female [*][b]Background:[/b] A girl enamoured with stories of heroes, the one who would eventually become Ranca Blom always had her heads in the clouds. She was kind of a nerd, and never really had many friends, with most people thinking she was just kind of weird, but she always stood up for the friends she [i]did[/i] have. She was happy enough with her lot, but always felt something was missing despite not being able to figure out just what that something was. Unfortunately, her fixation on heroics proved to be her undoing, as one day whilst returning home she spotted a young child in the middle of the road, about to be hit by an oncoming truck. Acting as fast as she could, she was able to save the child... And was left right in the way of the runaway vehicle. Naturally, there was no way a girl with her head full of heroic nonsense could defeat several tons of rampaging steel, which... Leads us to her current predicament. Life after death is a bit different than what she expected, but she's going to take it at her own pace and grab the afterlife by the horns. Maybe this time she can be the hero she'd always dreamed of being.

[*][b]Equipment:[/b] N/A[/list] [center][b]-[FINALIZE]-[/b][/center] [/hider] [/quote] [quote=@Damiann47] So I came up with a well-rounded warrior with hopefully fair and balanced martial arts techniques, I tried not to make them too powerful of course. Then the actual character is a little more interesting, or well at least I tried to make it so. [hider=Sonia][center][img]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/camphalfbloodroleplay/images/e/e4/Lillian_L.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140430025724[/img][/center] [b]Character Concept[/b]: [i]"A man turned catgirl because life is too short to be serious all the time."[/i] [b]Name[/b]: Sonia Falkren [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Background[/b]: Seeing as the last life doesn't matter anymore, neither does his former name so instead he'll be known as "Mr. A" This Mr. A didn't lead a terribly exciting life, actually his life was anything but that in every sense of the word. Mr. A was just a simple salaryman who worked from nine to five every day of the week and Mr. A didn't have much to show for the mind numbing daily grind. He was unmarried with no children, and no real property to speak of, in all honestly Mr. A quite literally had nothing. In the end death didn't have much of an effect on the poor man, as far as Mr. A was concerned he was already gone. Now how did he die? Well... he choked to death on a poorly chewed piece of food during dinner, and seeing as no one was around to save him, you could say the rest was history. Then something for once happened, he was presented with something amazing, he of course was given a chance at a new life. As Mr. A stared at the empty character sheet a single spontaneous thought came to him. "Fuck it, I'm going to be a catgirl." Then so it was, Mr. A became Sonia the Catgirl. He... or she as it was now, was determined to actually make something of hi- her new existence, to make it worthwhile, to basically make up for her absolutely bland years as a boring human. She looked forward to the new world. It was going to be fun. [b]Level[/b]: 1 [b]Class[/b]: Vanguard [b]Race[/b]: Catgirl of course. [b]Attribute[/b]: Force [b]Martial Arts[/b]: [i]Bullrush[/i]: A very simple Technique that grants a very temporary boost to strength and speed. [i]Rend[/i]: A purely offensive Technique that increases weapon penetration through raw power for a single strike. [i]Bulwark[/i]: On the flip side, this is a purely defensive Technique that temporarily improves defensive prowess. [b]Thaumaturgy[/b]: Nothing. [b]Gift[/b]: And again nothing.

To put it bluntly, Germ wasn't in the best situation. To spare any nasty details they had to become a "Person of the Night" to make ends meet, a profession Germ was not very happy doing. But like a soldier they pushed on, not willing to give up like the others fate dealt a crappy hand to. All was tolerable until Death came knocking, one of those wrong place, wrong time deals. Two of the various local gangs were having a turf war and a stray bullet just happened to find it's way into a new home, Germs chest. And so they died, a nasty hand in fates little deck of cards. But, all is not lost. With a second chance at life Germ has found a new form and a new purpose, to be better than they could ever be before.[/i] [b]Level[/b]: [i]1[/i] [b]Class[/b]: [i]Thaumaturgic Scrapper[/i] [b]Race[/b]: [i]Darkling[/i] [b]Attribute[/b]: [i]Finesse[/i] [b]Martial Arts[/b]: N/A [b]Thaumaturgy[/b]: [i]-Shadow Surf, Germ can "dive" into something's shadow and ride shotgun for awhile.

[quote=@PKMNB0Y] Well, when a burst of inspiration hits me, it hits hard and it hits quick... I guess. Time for a support mage to join the fray! He's... Really focused on economics and magic. Hopefully his gift isn't too... Crazy. I mean, he can't analyze things mid-combat and can only learn them, so... [hider=Takeyoshi] [center][img]http://safebooru.org//images/1563/042e8993813831116fd92e2e1ae00417b7e8726a.jpg?1637914[/img][/center] Character Concept: A workaholic who never stops striving for the top. Name: Takeyoshi Sakujima Gender: Male Background: Despite the current name, Takeyoshi (formerly known as Tony Lin, the son of an Chinese banker and an American chef) was an up-and-coming banker interning for a major firm on Wall Street, thanks to a few lucky series of events during his studies at Columbia (and a few strings pulled by his father). A few years out of college, Tony was making enough money to buy his own little apartment in midtown Manhattan, and though he never really got off the ground when he kicked the bucket, it'd be difficult to say that he didn't work himself dry every day until then. Though he always tried to turn a profit, Tony never really splurged on anything; anything left, he used to either send to his little brother (who would, in turn, pester him on his off days to hang out and watch anime) or try and play the stock market. 'course, markets don't matter much if you're dead, after all. Having been caught as a bystander during an armed heist and a bullet shot right between the eyes and two in the heart, Tony found himself floating in limbo after bleeding to death in the middle of the street. His subsequent jump into another world was... Well, unexpected, to say the least, but at the very least he decided to change himself to fit (what he assumed to be) his brother's ideal setup in this sort of situation. Learn from the most knowledgeable and all that... Right? Granted, that didn't mean he wasn't going to try and add his own little spin on things as well. Cheated of the career ahead of him, the only thing left to do now was, well... Do it again. Level: 1 Class: Magician Race: Tengu Attribute: Focus (Because, really now, what's drive without focus?) Martial Arts: N/A Thaumaturgy: N/A Gift: Takeyoshi has an increased learning aptitude compared to how he was as a human; learning things like trade routes, money conversions, the state of the markets, and even magical incantations and diagrams and how to use them all come to him... Relatively quickly. On the downside, he might not necessarily have the ability to apply them practically. So, for example, he might know how to use a spell or set up a barrier, but he might not have the energy required to even use it at all. Equipment: Zilch. -[FINALIZE]- [/hider] [/quote] Although that's not how I imagined Gifts to work I'm going to let you have it, but you should keep in mind that like this you don't start with any spells. And to answer your question about age, you aren't born again, but are transported to the new world with your apparent age being however you look in your character picture. [quote=@Katakon] [hider=Mikal] [center][img]http://pre14.deviantart.net/b926/th/pre/i/2015/001/6/6/odin_s_demon_by_millerizo-d8c3yhr.png[/img] Character Concept: "The Timid Ice Demon who lives in Fear of other's company" Name: Mikal Kakato Gender: Male Background: Mikal in his previous life was a timid man who always acted civil and well mannered even if at times he came off as unsocial and a jerk with some of the comments he says that goes though his filter. Mikal was closed off to his family and the few friends he had but as he always prefers being by himself playing video games, reading books and drawing, while doing this all away from others even the one's he love, this loner attitude made him lose contact with many of his friends when he went to Universty to study to become a Nurse so he was left on his own in a new city faraway from many of his contacts. In the new city Mikal made a few friends who he hanged out with a few times out of classes. It was during one of these outings that he died. While walking though the snowy path by the University's River Mikal was walking too close to the half frozen river then he suddenly slipped on an icy rock and fell though the thin ice of the River, Mikal in a panic tried to swim back to the river shore and even some of his friends tried to save him but it was too late, he died of hypothermia before he drowned and his body fell to the bottom of the river. Where it still is to this day as the current made it very hard and dangerous for people to collect. If you told Mikal that there was life after death he would've been relieved if dubious, but still dying in the way he did still sends shivers down his spine, so he has made it so in his next life that he can't ever freeze to death the way he did. Even if eating people and monsters whole is a weird side effect. Level: ~1~ Class: Windigo Demon Race: Windigo Attribute: Focus (What kind of spirit doesn't have magic?) Martial Arts: N/A Thaumaturgy: - Ice Manipulation - Blue Magic (Can copic a single spell for one fight by eating enemies flesh) - Glamour (Can change apperance into something less scary if the need arises) Gift: N/A Equipment: Nada [b]-[FINALIZE]-[/b][/center] [/hider] [/quote] Ice Manipulation is not fit to be a spell, it's effect is too open. If you want to be Elza you can make take a Gift related to Ice, otherwise make a spell with more specific effect, like Ice Lance or Ice Wall or something. Everything else is good. [quote=@Snagglepuss89] Hey everyone, this looks like as good a place as any for me to start on the site. I tried not to make it too long, my characters can go on for pages sometimes. [hider][img]http://fandomania.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/10/wheeloftime02.jpg[/img] Character Concept: A carefree man held back by his past, or perhaps a bitter man putting on a front. Name: Harmonic A. Mutt Gender: A guy. Background: Harmonic, it would be silly to use his old name, used to be a supervisor. A man climbing the corporate ladder, constantly trying to hold on from the deluge of order raining on him from above. Constantly adding to that deluge to the people under him. Meeting endless deadlines, endless quotas, endless profits. It wasn't a position he ever wanted to be in, but he had a family to support. He was still young when he gave up his dream of being a musician, and instead learned business. At first it was a good life. His wife worked part time to cover the bills, and the corporate ladder was more of a dream than a goal. It was when his wife died that what was once a dream became a necessity. His son needed to be well fed, well schooled, and able to have a better future than his father. It meant that they never saw much of each other, but Harmonic was set in his position. So he went through life, growing more bitter, more prone to drink, more stressed by his work. He poured his heart into his career until his heart burst, only in his forties, and he died in his office. Surrounded by the work that had become his life. Truly he was shocked, and a little annoyed, to find out there was an afterlife. It had always been against his beliefs, but he couldn't deny his own experience. It took him some time to decide whether to accept a new life. Did he deserve it? Would it matter in the end, since he would never see his son again anyway? After some contemplation, he decided it was a chance he shouldn't pass up. A chance to shake off the bitterness that had become his life, indulge in his dreams, and perhaps even atone for the suffering he caused the people clinging to the lower rungs of the ladder. He thought of his dreams, of the stories he had read in his youth, the men he once admired, and picked a new name. Perhaps he even took a few years off his appearance while he was at it. For what felt like the first time in a decade Harmonic smiled, and pressed "FINALIZE". Level: One. Class: Spoony Bard. Race: He's just a boring human with boring human traits. Attribute: Finesse Thaumaturgy: He didn't study for years to become a wizard, his spells come from his singing as a natural effect. He prefers to fight a conflict up close, supporting himself with his magic. It overall makes him a balanced fighter compared to those relying solely on force or magic. Spells: Darkness: Harmonic's preferred way of fighting. While his singing gives his position away, he still has an edge in an exchange of blows due to his extensive use of this technique. It spreads outwards as he sings, so a longer verse will mean a larger field of affect. Boiling: While not cruel enough to have tried this on a person, this spell causes an object to heat up quickly. As with darkness, the longer the verse the hotter an object gets. Harmonic has never tried to melt steel with it, but it cooks dinner in a pinch. Entanglement: While not confined to mother nature, the spell typically manifests as roots coming forth from the ground to ensnare the legs of Harmonic's enemies. Or their arms, if the space is sufficiently narrow. Much like with the above two examples, the longer the verse Harmonic chants, the thicker and farther they wind around the opponent. Equipment: Er, skin?[/hider] Let me know if the magic is too much for someone not choosing focus. I tried to limit its usefulness. [/quote] Your spells are fine, accepted!
