@TheHangedMan I'll put Luis in the Characters page then?

Lost in Time and Space [Not accepting anymore reservations]

Is there still room for more?

Academy of Noble Arms

@TheHangedMan Here you go. Tell me if anything needs to be tweaked.

Luis Rosario

Appearance: Extremely muscular build from years of fitness training at the Academy in order to better manoeuvre with the shield. Strong jawline. Slightly taller than average. Tan olive skin and dark hair.

Name: Luis Rosario

Age: 17 (Eleventh Grade)

Nationality: Puerto Rican, immigrated to United States

Noble Arm Name: El Tobogán (name chosen by his siblings)

Noble Arm Rating: D+

Appearance: A shield with the shape and dimensions of a curved rectangular scutum. 105.5 centimetres (41.5 in) high, 41 centimetres (16 in) across, and 30 centimetres (12 in) deep (due to its semicylindrical nature). Weighs 10 kilograms. Has a majestic blue and gold decal and rimmed with a shining silver. Made of an unknown material.

Noble Arm Abilities:
Strengths: Extremely durable; absorbs all force when hit so there’s no jolt against Luis; absorbs all forms of energy from kinetic to heat and electricity; size and ability of shield gives Luis a very strong defence
Weaknesses: Can defend pretty well against sharp weapons but will not absorb force from them (if attacked enough with sharp weapons, it’s possible for the sharp object to penetrate the shield); shield is very heavy so Luis will not fare well against a speed-oriented fighter, weight of shield will also give Luis a disadvantage in prolonged battles as he will get tired.
Effects: Shield absorbs any sort of energy put into it, which Luis can then redirect as he sees fit. Examples of his energy use include strengthening his body or sending out a wave of pure kinetic energy from his free hand. Luis is capable of converting the energy from the shield into different forms (eg. kinetic into heat, magnetic or electric) but currently struggles with this, as he needs to understand the complete ins-and-outs of the physics of it, right down to the subatomic level, to use it freely. The input to output ratio of energy is at around 10:7. Will not absorb force from sharp objects. Whether or not there is a cap to how much energy the shield or Luis' body can hold is unknown.

Personality: A generally quiet young man that avoids being conspicuous. Is wary of people in power like his stepdad. Absolutely despises the stigma of violence and expectations surrounding being an Arms Master, as well as anything to do with the military or organisations he deems to be corrupt. A natural "big brother" sort of personality. Is willing to fight in practice battles and sparring matches but does not want to be involved with the official dealings of the global Noble Arms community. Would skip out on his CAT if it weren't for the major scaling it would have on his ranking. Extremely diligent, gained his current rank through hard work rather than natural intelligence. Working hard to provide for himself and his family in the future. Currently considering whether or not to aim for the top 50, as the rewards are very enticing but then his profile would become too noticeable.

Dislikes:

Fears: Getting conscripted, something happening to his family

Bio: Born in Puerto Rico to a relatively poor family with children. Father died in a factory accident when he was young, around age four. Mother got remarried eight years later to a white businessman who operated a subsidiary company in the area. It would be an understatement to say that Luis disliked his mother's new husband. He was frequently warned by the older souls of the Puerto Rican community of the arrogant, wealthy outsiders that would bring in their businesses. And as he grew older and learned about the debt crisis that the American businesses had triggered, he grew to hate them even more. The family moved to Brooklyn soon after and luckily, Luis' English was decent enough to have him fit in at school. It was also around this time that his Noble Arms manifested. Against his protests, he was shipped off to Trinidad Academy. There he learnt the history of Arms Masters, the horrors and pettiness of war, and to his own dread, the expected futures of Arms Masters.
His career at Trinidad Academy has been fairly quiet. Luis works hard in his studies and his training. Teachers recognise the effort he puts in and he is regarded as an exemplary student and role model. His rank would be much higher if it weren't for his reluctance to partake in his military training and inter-school competitions.

Current Goal: Finding a career path that isn’t oriented around his Noble Arm, helping his family prepare to be financially independent from his stepfather (if the time ever comes, I mean. Gotta be prepared, y'know?), avoiding permanent military involvement

Student Rank: 347

Academy of Noble Arms

Absolutely nothing, in fact I was planning on having some nunchucks named George and Jerry ;P

Academy of Noble Arms

And what sort of naming scheme should we use? I'm assuming that you would prefer that we didn't havelike a katana named Bob or something else like that.

Academy of Noble Arms

Does the local law enforcement have Arms Masters members or anti-Arms Master technology?

Academy of Noble Arms

cool beans

I'm interested in this, are you still accepting?

Persona - Academic Akrasia (Being rebooted, see new int check)

If Aki can do it, I'm sure Sakura can too.

Yup, no foreseeable or horrendous consequences whatsoever.

Comedy Coup Kingdom

Name: Bertrand Danton
Social class: The middlest of the Middle Class
Job: Tavern Keeper
Age: 32
Appearance: Big enough to kick your ass out of his tavern, drag you back in, and make you mop up the drink you spilled.
Reason for participating in the coup: Have you seen this economy?
Personality: Does not put up with anyone's shit. Would be the perfect straight-man if it weren't for his incredible stinginess. Would probably sell his party for some decent lodging on this idiotic quest.
Extra info: Originally wanted to leave the kingdom for a apothecary apprenticeship, but was forced to inherit The Bloated Pony after all his brothers died in the numerous petty wars started by the king. It's been 17 years now, since he was shackled to this rundown tavern.
