Been a busy week, but it's finally ending. I'll be back in a few hours to address the 4 sheets that are currently up. Hopefully we'll get to finalize them soonish.

@Ryougu@geminironin@NewShoesForever@Argonaut I've decided to let you guys pick your character's perks and quirks. I'll just edit them as needed. You choose up to 5. These, along with your gifts, will progress and evolve with experience. Keep them simple for now; the exaggerations will follow.

I'll come up with examples and maybe a mock CS too.

Well, in that case I'd like;
-Enhanced leg strength
-Enhanced (reaction) speed
-Keen hearing
-Steady Hands/Precision
-Admirable Flexibility

...If those are fine with you. I'll also add a few minor negative quirks that won't be too significant, such as "Sensitive ears" or "strange craving for carrots" if that's cool with you.

So that means I can do so also for the undead species? *Asks tentatively from the sidelines about the perks*

@1Charak2 Yeah, I'll just say if they're a yae, nay, or needs a nerf.

Perks and Quirks shouldn't just be racial. Base it off your character's background.

@Ryougu Just a bit of changing, just to standardize everything, these are okay.

Enhanced Strength (Leg)
Enhanced Speed (Reaction)
Keen Hearing

No need to indicate the sensitivity to hearing, but it'll be a weakness. I'll mention it in the list of perks and quirks that I'll later add on.

With Steady Hands/Precision and Admirable Flexibility, what do you mean? Is it a gross enhancement to dexterity or are you going for something more specific? And for flexibity, like someone who does yoga or something more extreme like a contortionist?

Alright, so I've finally come up with a basic idea for a character, but just wanted to run it by you.

Basically, he was your standard dumb delinquent whose unusually good muscle memory and attention to small details made him great at fighting, but he failed out of or got expelled from a few different high schools, eventually getting kicked out of the house, and wandered around until he eventually got to a shinto shrine. The priest decided to let him stay there for a little while, and after about a month, he started feeling guilty for leeching off the shrine and offered to help out. About five years pass depending on how early into high school he and his family gave up on it, and the now twenty-two year old is actually on the way to becoming a proper shinto priest, although he's still an impulsive fighty idiot with vices-a-plenty. Then he dies through as of yet undetermined circumstances, and gets reincarnated as an Oni, the pinnacle of impulsive, angry hedonists, and shenanigans ensue.

Feel free to name your gift and add some flavor text if you feel like it.

@Ryougu


@geminironin I'm assuming you were going for an ability.


@Argonaut@NewShoesForever You guys come next.

@Rabidporcupine I see no problem in that. Just need to determine the cause of death.

Oh, funny! I was playing with an Oni reincarnate idea at first.

My actual character should be up... soon-ish? I have all the stuff, just need to write it

Should Vampirism be either a transmitted disease (IE the bite creates vampires) Or a species in of itself? Or both?

@Protean Pair
Steady hands/Precision would mostly be an increase in... Well, precision, it's not so much overall dexterity, but more the ability to quickly aim for small areas, as with pole vaulting whereby you must place the pole on the ground at the right place and time whilst running as fast as you can, in order to be able to jump properly. I wouldn't expect a big boost out of this, little more than steady hands, since she'd only have had a year and a few months to practice.

I suppose the flexibility would be more like someone who does yoga. Though I was thinking of how rabbits were flexible rather, which has to do with their spines beind a rather long. Again, I don't expect much out of this either, just some slight improvements in the ability to stretch and twist. I believe limber would be the word for it.

Now, a few questions pertaining these gifts, which I dig, by the way;
1a. Does the jumping mean I can jump on clouds, were I to somehow get up there?
1b. What kind of intangible surfaces would I be looking to jump off of? Are you at liberty to give examples?
2a. Does the demon rabbit look demonic, if no, can it?
2b. Does the demon rabbit eat only carrots or does it also eat meat and flesh?
2c. Will I be RPing the rabbit myself, or would you? I'm cool either way, but I figured it'd be useful to know.
3. Does it cost anything to create these carrots, like do I give up some of the nutrients in my body to create them, do I magically steal them from a farm without knowing, or do they really just magically appear?

As a side note to the sentitive ears, I meant to refer to the physical aspect of the ears, rather than the hearing part, she'd already have Keen Hearing for that part, after all.

@Protean Pair

Aizen's perks and quirks
-sleight of hand
-charismatic to the point that he can manipulate one's feelings or emotions, or even make his lies believable, some sort of a jedi mind trick even.
-can see clearly in the dark
-fast learner, i mean really fast to the point he can replicate a single action just by observing it.
-can be really sneaky

i'm aiming for some sort of a mage who uses illusion magic and dark areas to his advantage. i hope my perks is not all over the place for the theme i'm going

@1Charak2 A species in of itself.

@Ryougu I guess Dexterity (Precision) and Limber/Flexible would work.

1a. Does the jumping mean I can jump on clouds, were I to somehow get up there? Yup.
1b. What kind of intangible surfaces would I be looking to jump off of? Are you at liberty to give examples?I guess I'll give one, but I prefer you guys finding gradually. This is an easy one, but water. The fun of thinking up ways on how to use this might be less significant now. So yeah, on lakes, rivers, or any bodies of water; kicking off from a waterfall or when submerged in water.
2a. Does the demon rabbit look demonic, if no, can it?Extremely minimal. It'll appear like a typical rabbit in both appearance and size. It could have a small horn, strange markings, a different color, fangs, or features similar to those.
2b. Does the demon rabbit eat only carrots or does it also eat meat and flesh?It mainly eats vegetables, but you can try giving it other things.
2c. Will I be RPing the rabbit myself, or would you? I'm cool either way, but I figured it'd be useful to know.Yeah, totally understand. It'll be RP'd by you and manipulated by me if needed. Its basically a second character.
3. Does it cost anything to create these carrots, like do I give up some of the nutrients in my body to create them, do I magically steal A small amount of magical energy unless you create loads of them at a time. You give up energy to conjure them up, but where they come from, that's a different story. Let's leave it a mystery for now.

@Argonaut Change your quirks into these:
- Dexterity (Sleight of Hand)
- Charismatic (Persuasive)
- Night Vision
- Stealthy

As for Fast Learner, that's falling under gift-tier abilities, so maybe change that to something else. As for your gifts, here ya go.

@NewShoesForever For your CS, the only change would be the race. Beastkin would be exclusive to mammals. Yours would be Serpentfolk (Snake).

eh, works for me.. looks like i'm playing hard mode. lol. i'll think of something to replace fast learner maybe something combative wise.

tho i do need some clarification..
-about the holograms, it is possible to replicate an entire room based on the event?
-also what's the range of the intangible copies, can i make it do stuff like scouting and such?

Hey there. I've been watching with some interest, liking what I've been seeing, and may be applying in the near future.

I do have a question. My primary idea involves a character that was very old in the old world but upon reincarnation is somewhat younger, say, 40. I take it that doesn't count as one of the extremes you're prohibiting?

@Argonaut As long as it fits your background, its cool. And I think you mean normal mode, since Fast Learner would make things easy.

Like I mentioned, things that you didn't see won't appear. You can try, but there's gonna be a lot of blank spots. The holograms are gonna be from your POV.

If they leave your line of sight or peripheral vision for too long, they vanish. Too long would pertain to a few seconds; like 5-ish.

@Lugubrious Can't really give you a definite answer until I see the CS, but for now, no hard no's.

- Knowledge (Occultism)
- Unshakable Ego

@NewShoesForeverYou only pick 1 gift.

That's a no to occultism and alchemy as perks. Perks are based on your character's background or race. What does Unshakable Ego do?

I see.

Unshakable Ego basically indicates that Shisato is so hopelessly delusional and egotistical that she is nearly impossible to intimidate or coerce.
