Why are you here when you should be writing posts?
You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

It's like a cold pool, the sooner you jump in, the sooner you'll be having fun.

I’m sorry, I completely missed that there was a character tab separate from OOC. Will do!
No worries!
@Skittlez as previously discussed, Nikita is accepted and you may move her to the character tab and begin posting in the IC at your earliest convenience.
Welcome to RPG! I hope you find what you're looking for here!
@Holy Soldier After reviewing your CS we have several comments we want to address:
One of our recurring comments kept coming back to the lack of struggle the character seems to face. You mention throughout the CS several times how Victor doesn't want to be violent but at every turn, he seems to just give in to his 'nature' and comes out on top treated as a good guy. Neither Junk, Hillan or I find ourselves convinced that Victor is facing any real struggle to not give in to his more violent side. In fact, it seems every time he does so, he's rewarded, he was promoted from Hitler's Youth into the SS, he convinced the Americans that he was on their side and his body is actually benefited from it. It would be nice if there was more of a struggle between the two sides.
One thing that felt particularly missing to me in the backstory was how Victor learned to speak English and hide his German accent. I struggle with his decision to change sides during the war as I felt not having him impartially slaughter both sides was a bit of a missed opportunity. But to Victor's subsequent switch to the American side and integration into American society at the very least strikes me as too easy. Should he not have faced some sort of prejudice or discrimination in America? I haven't looked into it to be sure, but I can't help but feel that Germans would not have an easy time in a post-World War II America.
Outside of the lack of a perceived struggle with his abilities, we find that the power as it's currently presented has very few limits or weaknesses that aren't based on the characterization of Victor. Furthermore, his ability isn't as formally explained as we would like. There’s no hint to the upper limit of Victor's abilities, nor is his regeneration is also not fully explained as we have no idea how fast he can regrow a limb or heal from an injury.
The last thing we want to touch on is the fact that as a general rule, surgery isn't considered violent. It's a methodical operation that requires a lot of training and focus. It's not like surgeons just stab their victims and cut them open for fun. Is the act of bloodletting you're saying triggers his abilities or is Victor actively butchering his patients on the operating table?

Welcome back! Glad you got your motivation back and looking forward to our paths inevitably crossing as fellow fans of the superhuman genre.
@Lord WraithWell, I thought I was helping by making a doctor, but an applicant got that idea in before me it seems. So we'll see.
Your doctor is much more specialized and at the end of the day, the career choice is probably one of the smaller factors we weigh the sheets on. Can't honestly say I even brought attention to both characters being doctors.

@Holy Soldier & @Skittlez, I've conducted my reviews of both of your sheets, just awaiting feedback from my Co-GMs. We'll try not to keep you waiting for the yay/nay any longer than necessary.
