Not one to miss out on things, Pardosa seems to have a talent in getting themselves invited. They talk in paced and smooth words, with a cool disenchantment between people. Always striving for neutrality he often work as a mediator in their social circles. While he is actually quite opinionated he tends to keep this to himself, and listen on the thoughts of others. He is actually quite quick to anger, but of course also talented at keeping calm. Only those who get close to him can really read his facial emotions correctly, as he tends to display a polite smile of indifference at all times. While he seems easy to get along with, some people can find him unsettling. Of course the amount of people who fall for his charming guise are not few. When it comes to fashion they dress in the chromatic scale. Whites, grays, blacks. Nothing too loud.
I D E O L O G Y
Pardosa is a convoluted person. They are of at least two minds on many different subjects, and while they seem always in motion with direct purpose, indecision plagues them. They are of the self serving sort, while also being willing to do anything for their idea of the greater good. They think, sometimes too much, before every action. Emotions are calculated, and at times seem an annoyance. A firm believer that to make an omelette you need to crack a few eggs. True victory is never achieved without sacrifice. They like to think that they are a big picture planner, with a ruthless side, but in all honesty they can't help but do the small things ahead of them. Their actions can conflict their "sensibilities" meaning those thoughts are more so ideals, instead of their realities.
S T R I F E
Pardosa combines three main elements in combat: Ice, primarily. Water, then wind. They enjoy the creativity that comes with limits, and hope to push the boundaries on their selected elements rather then try and grasp at too many straws. That being said of course, it's a waste to not apply other elements when one can. It's just good business. Entering combat in all white, Pardosa enforces prime conditions. Creating a steady gale of snow they use their stealth to create a moving spot of snow-blindness. They create weapons and ammunition of ice, and use guerrilla tactics to jump in and out of combat. Can travel at extreme speeds by creating roads of ice, ice skates and propelling/balancing themselves with wind. Works better alone, but again, it's good business to use your assets, even if those are allies.

Robert Cahn - Polaris
✚ 22 ✚ Male ✚ 5'8 ✚ Intelligence Navigation Division
P R E S E N C E
Robert is a charming young man with an outgoing charm to him that gushes out with how he speaks and simply act with the people around him. Being a friendly face that never seems to fade out of the cheery disposition which is infectious to those who let it be. Having a seemingly adventurous and curious nature to him that is like a bundle of uncontained energy that is stuffed within him like an overflowing package. It's almost draining to see how energetic and active he is that never seems to be bored. Following where his instincts guide him, he is always falling into some sort of trouble or mischief that somehow finds him. Causing some people to label him as a rowdy person and spontaneous but he prefers to call himself as fun loving who adds a little bit of spice during the day.
With a short stature, perhaps that is the secret to how energetic he is. He is built rather well, with his athletic frame coming from the multitude of activities that he partakes in. Whether it being a fickle desire or passing hobby, he is always interested in learning something new so long he simply enjoys himself. Keeping his appearance in fine condition with his sense of fashion and apparel, keeping him from looking the same twice in a single week with the variety he has with his clothing. Having the faint scent of something spicy like cinnamon coming from him if you observe closely for some reason.
In the end, he is not so different from the regular social butterflies that you see with his sociable nature which matches the profile. Having a good handle on his people skills, making it surprising when they discover his more serious side. Hidden for carefully selected situations where he pulls it out that seems uncharacteristic of him that contrast to his bubbly nature. To put it lightly, he is more than what it seems from the jolly exterior that he holds outside.

I D E O L O G Y
Unsurprisingly, Robert is like how he is perceived by people for the most part. Being a sociable person who doesn't mind interacting with people, whether they be friends, acquaintances, or even complete strangers. He personally believes that everyone shares something that each other would like. Finding it interesting to learn more about people, taking some time to uncharacteristically sit back and watch things simply 'flow' in everyday life. Taking the time to understand multiple view points of a subject that he is interested in from different people and their experiences.
In general, this is the most common persona employed by Robert which gathers favorable disposition from other that would be beneficial. With this being easily changeable as he shapes the image of himself to suit the needs of the situation, building a solid base for future interaction. Forming a sort of reputation that works as a decoy for the secrets that he hides within himself, making it sudden when he breaks character that he created. He, however, prefers to keep his manipulative if not slightly sociopathic ways to himself to prevent people from being suspicious about himself.
All in all, a placeholder for what comes latter down the road...

S T R I F E
Robert is an athletic person who participates in a variety of physical hobbies that has conditioned his body. A focus on form and condition rather than brute strength, most commonly working out in the simple but effective way of jogging and occasionally hiking when he can. Exercising as a hobby on top of the mandatory physical conditioning that the students have to do at Oakridge which keeps his condition in tip top shape.
With his specialized arsenal of skills suited that comes from his training of his two Divisions, the majority of his time at Oakridge spent within the Intelligence Division. His training focused on the role of being a moving asset, with Robert having the technical skills to support his constant movement from place to place and his ability to gather information in multiple ways. Using a combination of a continuously changing persona to achieve what he wants with people while his technical knowledge to achieve digital means of getting information. Tying it up with the ability to move with discretion and have a variety of ways to make his escape with this information and preferably himself intact in the process.
His combat skills are lacking in exchange for his extensive skills in operative outside of battle, capable of self-defense in situations that call for it in direct combat despite the disadvantageous matchup. Improving immensely when using the preferred method that he was taught by the Intelligence Division as a silent operator to take down opponents. With the majority of his magic focused on achieving his objectives quietly and survival in general instead of flashy effects that other Guardians may employ.

Oh, right, haha. That's exactly right. The Cids are often pilots or mechanics, yes? I don't remember what what it was in 8, though. I'm not sure if 15 counts, as it's his daughter that does all the fixing. Or, well, most of it. He does have the weapon quests.

Duke will refuse using a weapon because it's not how "real men" fight. His fighting style can be described as a deadly combination of Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga. The belief is that the best defense stems from the best offense. One will notice that Duke never backs up from attack. He will move forward and engage with an attack of his own. He will purposely block a punch with a punch, and a kick with a kick.
Fighting up close and personal places emphasis on absorbing spirits that enhance physical abilities, more than anything, but he has been known to infuse his attacks with the elements to create a strategical advantage (i.e. using flame fists to hit an ice opponent). Though, the actual magical damage will be minor (since his focus is more physical.
Duke's fighting style was not designed to show mercy, quite the opposite, it was designed to end an opponents life quickly and efficiently. For this reason, Duke cannot spar at his best and will not fight anybody in the academy who is obviously weaker.

Duke is a young man, of mixed descent, with powerful features; seemingly, having been sculpted by the gods themselves. He has tawny (yellow-brown) skin, is muscular and extremely tall. He has dirty blonde curles and sports a standard militaristic haircut; the high fade. His chiseled jawline is sharp enough to slice through diamond. Perpetually shuttered, dead, light-green hues analyze and scan the world with laser focus. His piercing gaze would feel as though Duke is looking beyond ones physical form and stares directly at the soul. Full, thick lips hide not only a set of perfect teeth, but project a voice of power. He also has a tattoo on his right hand, symbolic of his family name.
Duke's style can be defined as "athleisure"- casual, comfortable clothing designed to be suitable both for exercise and everyday wear. There a few constants in his style: 1)Pants will always be in the form of joggers. 2)Shorts will always be netted gym shorts or sweatpants shorts. 3)Shoes will always be running shoes or resemble basketball shoes. There is also a hint of minimalism. You will only find black or white clothing in Duke's closet. He is tastefully simple.
Duke exudes an aura of confidence. He stands with proper posture and his head is always held high. When he walks, Duke's arms are almost always relaxed at his sides. They move as he moves, directly in front of him. His hands are also relaxed rather than tight-fisted. His head is parallel to the ground. His eyes look straight forward, too. His feet are at shoulder width. Most of all, his shoulders move, almost in a rolling figure-8 motion; like a puma stalking it's prey. Duke maintains a low and steady tone of voice, when speaking. He speaks at a slow and relaxed paced, without tension. He speaks just loud enough for others to hear, never too loud or too soft. Filler words are non-existent in Duke's speech. Should he need a moment to think of what to say next, he will simply pause and hold that silence until he is ready to speak again.

This concerns your character's relationship with the other player characters. If your character has had nothing to do with the others until this story, you need not fill this out right away. However, this should be edited as time passes. You can add trivia and notes that only another character of your choice knows about, background history if there is any, and so on.
C O N T A C T S
Here you list your secondary characters, if you choose to have any. They must be associated with your main character, however. This is why this section is named 'contacts'. The relation between your character and secondary character can be whatever you want, but there must be some kind of connection between them. Completely separate characters need a new character sheet.
C H R O N I C L E
This is where you will add 'flashbacks' once they have been written. You do not need to do this prior to the story. Whenever you discuss something, in-character, that is relevant to your character's background, you can either summarize or copy it into this section of the character sheet. So, you will have to continuously revisit this section to edit it.
P R O P E R T Y
Here you list valuable possessions such as items, catalysts, and currency whenever you receive them. These items are only given by the Game Master. You will have to continuously revisit this section to edit it.

I'm putting my sheet up for sake of reference. It's not complete, as no sheet can be before we go through the 'kinship' section!
@Mr Rage
Great character concept overall! Reinhardt is one of my favorite characters in Overwatch, and it's always good to have a big guy on the team. I hope your search for a realistic picture alternative is going well! Here are some other comments. On the name, do about 4 spaces between the first and last name. Expand a little upon how people would perceive Ajax (presence). What you have written in the 'ideology' section is background information. Try to go into values, morals, ideas about the world and life, thoughts on human interaction, and such. You don't need to describe Ajax's combat techniques beforehand if you don't want to, and you also don't need to impose negative consequences if they are based on assistance from spirits. Guardians can use magic freely to create abilities and attacks on the fly when they fight. Sure, they can stick to signature moves that they've created, but don't feel that you have to limit yourself!
@71452K
I get a Count of Monte Cristo meets Nikola Tesla-feel from your character, which is very cool. Any realistic picture alternative to go with that sheet? Instead of 'Research Division, Spirit Sciences', put just 'Research'. There is a bit that you can expand upon the ideology section, just delving deeper into what Montero feels about certain ideas and values, moral issues, and things you already mentioned. Amusing reference to the card game in the setting!
@deadpixel101
Could you include Pardosa's full name? Great picture! Your text was a little confusing to read due to the mixed pronoun usage. I appreciate that some people like to partake in identity politics, but I have to make it clear that it won't be a prominent theme in the context of this story. Pardosa can still have these mindsets, though! The points made in the presence and ideology sections are very clear and good, so they deserve to be expanded upon where possible. From your 'strife' section, I assume the weapon of choice is conjuring some kind of elemental weapons? Correct me if I'm wrong.
@WanderingSpirit
Looks great so far! I'm not sure if you wanted some comments yet. Is his surname Cahn or Polaris? Or is Polaris a nickname?
@Rizza
Very ambitious sheet! You can put just 'Warfare' instead of 'Warfare Division'. The ideology section is great, but make sure that you and your character know what some of these virtues mean. For example, "Treat people as they should be treated" can be interpreted in many different ways, some of which are not very nice. Of course, I'm not going to be some kind of morality police here. In the context of all the other virtues, this one is bound to be a good one as well. You can change "Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga" to just 'martial arts'. I have no idea what those two (I assume) fighting styles are or what they look like, and in the context of the lore, they wouldn't exist by those names. You could create new names for those styles, if you want!

That's the most realistic image of this character that I have,
it's very very awkward when I put photos. I tried but there's something really bugging about it, kept thinking "Wtf". But this is as good as a photo, yes? :).
I'll expand the ideology section, sure, his specialisation should be apparent enough that not listing would not change much. Heheheh, I mean, you made the effort to come up with a card game so why not include it? Got to be realistic, which student won't indulge in a little Recreational TCG if it's no harm?
I shall make your recommended changes tonight. @Prisk

Hey there~
Made a few adjustments. Boy did I not notice how much I messed up with the the pronouns. I made more of them "he" so that it's an easier read lol. I didn't really mean for it to come up much, just something that felt right for the character.
And I'm still debating what exactly his tools are. I do enjoy the idea of him crafting weapons like ice daggers on the fly, but he also feels the type to me to come prepared. Maybe bring a tactical knife and sidearm?
Perhaps just the gun, because I doubt he can make that out of ice. Otherwise you are correct, he crafts them on the go.
I should add that to the strife section as well yes? I will also try and expand my presence and ideology sections.

That's the most realistic image of this character that I have,

Excellent. I suppose I can make an exception on the picture. It looks like a painted portrait for an actual person, anyway, so it's okay. It almost fits the character. It's a bit of a Dorian Gray-feel!

Yes. You can go with a knife/sword + sidearm, and then play with the idea of 'coating' the melee weapon with elements! That would make much more sense in the context of the lore.
I got a new image in for Ajax. I'll rework the rest of the stuff tonight, hopefully.

Jomen exudes an air of calmness and rationality that flows off like a steady rain. Underneath that however, is an undercurrent of anger inescapably mixed with sadness that is exposed only rarely. In addition, Jomen possesses cybernetic eyes, who pupils are lit with a dull green, that allow him to see, but unnerve people when he looks directly at them, reminding them always of the dangers of the Stigma. For this reason, he tends to keep his gaze downcast or off to the side while conversing with others. His outfits usually possess at least one item in a varying shade of blue in an effort to further signify his status as a healer. Though quiet and unassuming, in combative situations he can be found just behind the frontline fighters making him presence and abilities and constant reassurance. He is not one to try and seek out glory, but he has the courage enough to go with those who do.
I D E O L O G Y
Jomen will sit and listen to all sides of an argument, but once he has made his choice very little can be done to sway him from it. He believes that the Stigma is a disease that needs to be eradicated by any means available to prevent it infecting more people. While he cannot condone the actions of the Death Squads, the Cleaners he feels a certain empathy for. However, that does not exclude them from the laws that the United Defense Force have laid down upon the land. Since the UDF, is the best chance that the people of this land have for eradicating the Stigma, Jomen obeys all of their laws to his utmost ability. He may question the effectiveness or quality of some of these rules, but he will obey them until the law is changed as he believes that the rule of these laws gives them the structure they need to band together fully against the Stigma. The need of survival sometimes must curtail individual freedom.
As for the spirits inside of him, Jomen believes that each is a valuable companion that serves with him valiantly in his fight. He is honored to serve alongside them and thus treats with the respect that they deserve. Often he can be found describing the full events of the day to his spirits or encouraging them to emerge briefly to see the world around them. He thanks them at shrines whenever he gets the opportunity. In his treatment of other Guardians and civilians, he tries his best not to get attached, so losses will not sway him from his duties even for a moment.

Jomen is not nearly as capable of a physical fighter of those from the Warfare Division, with his relative lack of physical strength and stamina. Still in times where melee combat is necessary to either or his patients survival, he is no slouch. Jomen carries a wooden staff with a large hook at the end of it, designed to help him trip or knockdown the enemy to open them up to further attacks as well as a standard issue pistol at his side at all time. Though not particularly skilled with the gun, Jomen is quite adept at using his staff to disrupt enemies either by redirecting their attacks or successfully managing to trip them with his staff. In this, he attempts to use his enemies higher strength and speed, along with his own knowledge of anatomy, against them.
However, Jomen is far more adept in using his spirits to weave Elemancy, particular utilizing his water and earth spirits, to a lesser degree, to their greatest effect. His healing abilities are at the top of his class at Oakridge, with his cybernetic eyes able to help him keep track of his allies and how much damage they have sustained. He pushes himself as much as he can to ensure that all of his allies will survive the encounter with little to no damage. His staff also helps act as a focus for his abilities, as tied near the top of small containers filled with varying types of seeds. When he activates his Water and Earth spirits in conjunction with the staff he is able to form Plant based Elemancy. Jomen is still training to gain greater control over this fusion, but is able to summon roots from the earth in order to entangle or slow enemies to give his allied fighters more of an advantage.
