[quote=@ELGainsborough] [I] Well it appears that there is not an official Out-of=Character thread. So I am assuming you would prefer to have character sheets deposited here to see if it is even worthy of an out of character thread. Let me know what you think. [/I] [Hider=Raithen Yaerius] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/45/f0/75/45f075582686dc2504111facf7c92e81--character-ideas-sci.jpg[/img][/center] [B]Age[/B] [indent]25 years[/indent] [B]Gender[/B] [indent]Male[/indent] [B]Height[/B] [indent]6’1”[/indent] [B]Weight[/B] [indent]195 Lbs.[/Indent] [B]Hair Color[/B] [Indent]Black[/Indent] [B]Summon Genome[/B] [Indent]Hades[/Indent] [Hider=Written Description] [Indent]Raithen is a man of average build and average height. He wears typical attire consisting of sturdy trousers and a collared shirt covered up by a button up vest. Other accoutrements include leather boots, knee pads, a variety of straps holding a number of pouches and a simply red scarf. To cover it all is a rather hefty trench coat which aids to conceal the combat knife, the ammunition and occasionally the firearm he carries, Venom. A cigarette oftens dangles from his lips surrounded by a dark, trimmed beard. His hair is dark and thick, combed over from the side with the sides and back shaven. Beneath the layers of clothing are the effects of the Hades genome. Raithen is surrounded by the faint scent of decay, rotting flesh, and necrosis. As he ages, his body is being consumed by the rot of a daemonic undead. While currently it is hidden away by his clothing it has begun to consume his torso, the flesh deteriorating from his very bones.[/Indent] [/Hider] [Hider=Personality] [indent] Raithen acts as his conscience regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he is kind and benevolent. Raithen believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He often clashes with the Turks, the few times they have cross pathes. Raithen follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. He waylays the evil terrorist group for his corporate overlords, is chaotic good. Raithen is the perfect example of the combination of a good heart with a free spirit.[/indent] [/Hider] [Hider=Background] [indent][i]Synopsis:[/i]Born to the once prosperous Gongaga Village, Raithen was an energetic and amicable child. While he did not particularly shine as a student, the other children held him in high esteem because of his keen eye and athletic capabilities outside of the school house. He was particularly good at throwing rocks at birds as they flew nearby. A few years older than Zack Fair they were simply acquaintances, but Raithen never missed a beat when Zack left for soldier. Skip ahead a few years and the Reactor had ended up in pieces, nearly destroying the entire village and scattering the people around the world. While Raithen had already lost his Mother before the incident, both Raithen and his Father had left the village to find fortune with life in the big city. They had relocated to Junon, but it was only for a short period before Raithen had moved on to Midgar where he enlisted in SOLDIER. He achieved first class in an appropriate amount of time showing great athletic ability and a well tuned eye for defensive measures almost as if he had a second sight. Along with being exposed to high levels of mako, he was also imbued with the Hades genome. Although it had its side effects, the Genome was overall successful - proving that the Shinra Electric Power Company may have been on the right track. [/indent] [/Hider] [Hider=Venom, Breath of Hades] [Indent]The firearm he carries is of a complicated alteration of weapon in research and development by the Shinra Corporation known as the Fomalhaut. While Raithen is not a blacksmith or a military genius, he does know his firearms. While the common shell is representative of a strong twelve gauge slug, with a small explosive element. Of course, knowing his firearms Raithen has also been able to fabricate his own ammunition imbuing shells with various status effects allowed to him by Hades. He is capable of creating shells that on impact explode with the power of the chosen materia (if the effects of such are not known). For example, if he creates a Transform shell the effects could be either mini or toad, or both without the ability of Raithen’s knowledge. These shells must be created before battle as they do require time and concentration to make.[/Indent] [/Hider] [Hider=Materia] [List] [*] Poison [Indent]Command [List] [*] Bio [*] Bio 2 [*] Bio 3 [/List][/Indent] [*] Seal [Indent]Command [List] [*] Sleep [*] Silence [/List][/Indent] [*] Transform [Indent]Command [List] [*] Mini [*] Toad [/List][/Indent] [*] Mystify [Indent]Command [List] [*] Confu [*] Berzerk [/List][/Indent] [*] Time [Indent]Command [List] [*] Haste [*] Slow [*] Stop [/List][/Indent] [/List] [/Hider] [/Hider] [/quote] I am having everyone put their finished work here. I said I was not going to make an OOC until I had 5 completed CSes because when I make both the OOC and IC because I make them both and post them both at the same time, we are immediately starting. The only people who I will be working with on CSes are new people who did not see this interest check. Your CS I have only two issues with. I may not be able to see it because I am on my phone, but you never posted your character's name or rank. Besides that, the CS is a go. In the "Character Creation" section, refer to the first two paragraphs in the CS explanation hider where I talk about the name and rank.
