OK, apologies for the delay, but I was dead tired when I got back home earlier and before I noticed it was time to leave for college. But now that I'm here, let me see what I need to address today. [quote=@Ghost Queen] [hider=Dante Rosa][center][img]http://sm.ign.com/t/ign_ap/news/a/ask-platin/ask-platinumgames-anything-about-scalebound_zwyk.640.jpg[/img][/center] [color=FFB6C1]Name:[/color] [i]Dante Rosa[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Age:[/color] [i]19[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Height:[/color] [i]6'2 Ft. (Approx. 182 centimeters)[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Weight:[/color] [i]200 lbs. (Approx. 90 kilograms)[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Bio/Summary:[/color] [i]The Rosa family is a modest noble house that is well respected for their military acumen in service to the Grand Duchy, with many ancestors famous for their tactical genius, combat prowess, and honorable conduct. Dante is the oldest son of the current generation of Rosa's, his upbringing being one of rigid discipline and schooling even before his abilities began to manifest. Dante's abilities were met with with beaming pride and a joyous feast, his family taking his awakening powers a good omen. Afterwards Dante was shipped of to Cadenza Academy and has since been working tirelessly to make his family proud. Dante himself is an honorable man, carrying himself with the dignity worthy of his place but with none of the arrogance. He does not see his himself above others and always tries to be worthy of the name Rosa, guardians and warriors in equal measures.[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Vessel:[/color] [i]Dante's Vessel is named Dominus and takes the form of an iron bracer when dormant. It is intricately carved to represent the Rosa coat of arms, a shield wrapped in rose vines with a spear and a sword crossed behind it. When activated Dominus takes on the form of an Arbalest, or an exceptionally large crossbow, that is equally carved with it's limbs reinforced with iron. The rose and it's vines are portrayed heavily in the carvings. While Dante's connection with Dominus makes drawing the bolts easier there is still a noticeable delay between shots, as is Dante can fire four bolts within a minute.[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Abilities:[/color] [i]-Briar Shot, when fired into the ground an area of about 10 feet is overrun with grasping briars that entangle and inconvenience foes. -Visceral Shot, as the bolt enters a target it becomes jagged and cruel in form, causing heavy bleeding and immense pain. -Brilliant Lance, a shining line of light that can pierce through several men, however it only has a range of six feet.[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Equipment:[/color] [i]Multipurpose machete and an ivory smoking pipe[/i] [color=FFB6C1]Trivia/Other:[/color] [i]Dante's smoking pipe is an heirloom from his grandmother, a wild woman who was infamous for her fighting spirit and larger than life charisma. He keeps it more as a keepsake as a student he hasn't been able to get his hands on much pipeweed.[/i][/hider] [/quote] This character is actually quite good, but there's a major issue to address at the moment. The Academy is an Imperial Military College, it's very unlikely that your character would be on it if he is from foreign lands. You'll likely have to change that detail. [quote=@Er0r] [@KoL] Yeah, sorry. She's human. The cat ears mentioned in equipment was meant as in a wearable headpiece. Also, she uses the impression on her active vessel to make the marks, so just over arm's length? I clarify and redo the abilities. Though, is the second one more or less ok? Its only technically permanent assuming I don't mark another object ever, and either way it only affects Mercy. So if I mark a wall, I could walk through it, but the rest of the party could't follow. Or if I mark a sword; it would pass right through me, but it wouldn't pass through my team and I couldn't mark multiple swords. As for the taboo, I'll probably just scrap it in favor of something else xD. I love the idea of taboo, but in some mediums it isn't as practical. As for her attitude, I was thinking about low key annoyance. I wouldn't fight others for anything, but I give her enough spice for her name to be known. ---- edit: Might just wait till Friday, when the explanation comes, and rework the abilities then. [/quote] Ah, don't worry, about her appearance, I was just trying to confirm it so that we are on the same page here, y'know. Also, I'll leave any more in depth analysis of powers for tomorrow as well. Once the main thread is open and all due explanations have been made, hopefully. [quote=@Jabber] [@KoL] Gonna be looking at the other character applications since I've yet to get the actual feel of the RP, so making my own character is kinda difficult for now. [/quote] That's a good idea. Though, the exact beginning of the RP will be a secret until the time I post the 1st IC, since I want it to be a surprise. Going with an empty mind is good as well. [hr] I guess this is all for the time being. I'll be back tomorrow likely with the actual cook tomorrow.
