Excellent, Excellent. You mentioned a few simultaneous attacks would be okay in bankai. Previously I had a practical limit of one per limb in bankai as it would require very definite movement like a punch, kick or swing of the arm.etc. So that's a max of 4 not including the spit. Is this a low enough number for simultaneous attacks? If not I can reduce the number down to two or three to keep it balanced but I'll defiantly keep it to one in the shikai.
5 Sims is fine in Bankai. Sounds good what you have here.

Sorry I've been away, Ande. As for your CS, there's nothing wrong with it and everything seems to be in order. I enjoyed the History and the Stats are right. I just want to make sure you know of one of the Release clauses about stat changes. I'm too lazy to cut and paste at the moment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
The only real thing I can critique is the grammar. There's some awkward punctuation errors and phrasing which was difficult to decipher at times.
Oh yeah! And there are some discontinuities with her History stating that she's Captain/joined the Seventh Division, not the Eighth.
But now Yue has an age-appropriate peer at their level! ^^
She shall go into the OP now, though. :)

Oh, and another thing, I'm debating whether or not to start the IC. I'm going to type it up tomorrow but I don't know if anyone is looking for more players to be present before I do. If someone's not ready or has questions they'd like answered beforehand, let me know. :D
I think a few simultaneous attacks would be acceptable in Bankai. I like what you have now, though. It exudes a sense of control and manipulation which we know is a large part of who Osamu is. ;P

As it is now, it's very adaptable and sleightful, which I appreciate for originality's sake.

Also, Akimoto does not continue to regenerate, it is a one-time occurance. He's just more robust afterward. ;)
But I like that you took into account other CS's to gauge your own. Good idea. ^^
That would have been helpful earlier, you sounded condescending, aggressive, rude and brash. as if the fact that you didn't agree with the things I had put in place to keep people from just doing a stupid made you above everyone.
It's technically not my fault that it was interpreted the way it was. I even recognized that it was abrasive after the fact. This is why text is so dangerous.

It may be your opinion, i have lots of opinions, such as I think that your interlinking of phoenixes and dragons is ridiculous. not least because it has little to no logical basis and its just a propensity for starting fights.
If this isn't an environment where opinions cannot be shared openly, then I worry.
It's not supposed to have a logical basis because it's mythology, but here is of what it is based. (This is not the site I originally found this) http://www.holymtn.com/teapots/LegendPhoenixDragon.htm
Here's another good example: (Go to Chinese Phoenix) http://www.mythicalrealm.com/creatures/phoenix.html
I found one! http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/ssu-ling.shtml#redbird
And if that's a concern for you, I would have no problem discussing it and omitting it, should that be necessary. This should be a collaboration and I'm not here to go over anyone, even if my opinions might sound like I believe I should.

"Atleast in my eyes." There's the downfall of this entire point, In your eyes, yes, in the eyes of the GM, no. While within the walls of this thread I am Judge, Jury, Arbitrator and the Law. with the soul exception of when every other player disagrees with me. at which point I will agree. If I deem it important then it shall be treated as such. if you disagree with my opinion, you are allowed to voice it, but not in such a manner, it would have been far less argumentative to put it in in the first place and just pm me asking why I would do such a thing, or make a little joke out of it. rather than start an entire argument.
And that is why we should have a discussion about it. Instead of being absolute or refusing to consider the other's point, confrontation is bound to arise.
I didn't even voice it any particular manner. I just said that I disagree with it and that is why it is missing. There was nothing to interpret from it other than the fact that I disagree with the least important thing in this RP. I didn't believe it deserved a PM because of how matter-of-fact it was. That post wasn't meant to cause such an uproar, and I can't say all the fault lies with me. I thought I knew why you would do it (and I did) and making a "little joke" out of it isn't really necessary. Now you're just saying I have to make everything flowery and walk of eggshells across my keyboard when that's not the most productive or necessary when we could just have an open forum. You could have just said to my post "Well, I need it in the CS to be accepted. I need to make sure you've read the OP. This isn't just for you, it's for everyone." And I wouldn't have been so butthurt over it. No niceties, no emoticons. Just to-the-point and direct.

Well you acted like it.
Again, the fault does not lie with me on this one. I never said it was stupid and foolish and a waste of everyone's time. There is no reason that should have come across in what I have written thus far.

my response indicates my opinion towards this point. being offended or not agreeing with someone does not suddenly give you some magical rights or change the situation,
I don't recall trying to assume magical powers and changing the situation. Again, I simply stated that I disagreed with something minute and insignificant. I was not the one to blow it out of proportion.

please link me to the exact point where I say that quote, I bet you your existence on the guild that I didn't. Do not mis-quote me or make statments up.
http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/1114/posts/ooc?page=2#post-34028 "But that makes sense because you need to re-read the rules."
http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/1114/posts/ooc?page=2#post-4763 "Still missing something, try reading the rules."
You never said "obviously you haven't read them," but as my post was misinterpreted, I took these statements as patronizing.

Why? this makes no sence, I wished for it to be explained in any shape or form. history or otherwise, it is a illogical statement, and it needs a grounding for it to be used.
How is that at all illogical? It's basic psychology and sociology. There is nothing confusing or unfounded about this at all. It's true with me, actually. If you had said this when asking for it, I would have known you didn't understand this characteristic. But the way in which you presented it made it sound as if it held some importance to something. Telling me to do something without explaining it at least minimally will lead to confusion and slight resistance on my part (not that I showed any resistance in the first place). If it's important to the RP, then I can see the importance. But I don't see how a personality trait such as this would be so important.

I don't need a lot of sources, just one to prove its a real monster. also if you THAT lazy then you really should have just dumped them in to a word document
I did not realize what that was for, then. I also wasn't of the mind to track all the sites I used while researching. Even now I cannot find the site I referenced. I was not lazy, I was just forgetful during that time which lead to issues down the road.

Oh I did, however I chose to ignore them because they did not meet with the rules, you could have just solved this by leaving it as it was and copy pasting the relevant chunks of history in to the required slots. but ofcorse you are always in the right and the GM is always wrong. so in your self-righteous way you started a argument.
I don't see the need to be so strict with the format. Doesn't it show greater attention when I realize I filled out a field earlier and didn't need to re-write it? Regardless, it's just that I have a thing about reiteration and I hate re-stating something in my CS's. If you told me you wanted it to be able to more easily reference to it yourself in the future, I would have done so. But I can't imagine that come up. I also can't imagine others looking over my CS's to a degree where it's necessary. I never gave the impression that I was above you, you must have done that yourself. I also never started an argument. It is not because of me that we are here. My statement of disagreement was taken out of proportion.

Well I'm glad you have a little respect for the GM, even if its less than I would have for a Jehovah's witness waking me up at six in the morning. and if you knew it why didn't you just do as asked? no, don't answer that, I don't want another argument
I don't think you have the authority to measure my respect towards you. I actually have great respect because you're sitting there insulting me up and down. We can have this discussion (which is not an "argument" in the socially perceived sense) which is why I'm even still here. And I did willfully disobeyed because I wasn't provided a "good enough reason" to obey at the time. Instead, I decided to state that I disagreed, which is actually something we should be able to do without consequence (and is actually a positive life skill).

Well I do, so maybe you should do as the Guy running the show in this thread asks you to? I'm not asking you to bend on one knee and swear fealty to me, just make it easy for everyone to compare caricatures and keep everything in a neat order.
I already did, actually.
Some of your previous statements describe otherwise.
How does "the answer is 42" make everything neat and comparable? (This is a legitimate question even though Silver Fox has already provided an answer.)
The tone to my last post was actually calm and reasonable. I didn't have the time to put in emoticons. The same can be assumed for this post as well.
And that was simply my opinion. You're free to do whatever you want in your RP's, but I should still be able to voice a small opinion on a matter that concerns itself in almost no way to the RP itself, at least in my eyes. I wasn't saying that it's stupid or you're stupid for having a rule such as that. It's just that I didn't agree with it which is why it wasn't there. I could say I found you condescending for telling me to read the OP "since I obviously hadn't." I could have also pointed out that you needed "enjoys female company" explained but not the lore from which I took these specific Phoenix abilities for this character. That was also something I willfully omitted (only because I took from so many sources and I was too lazy to find them again). Also, you didn't notice that the Heritage and Goal were included in the History.

But I didn't say any of these things because you're the GM and I also knew what you were referring to the whole time. I still don't see the use in 42 but I wasn't saying that I will not ever put it in and that it was a definitive statement toward any opinion of anyone.

I hope that clears some things up.

Grrr, I shake my fist at you sir! ( Nah not really.)But, in all seriousness I've taken the above on board. As a result I heavily altered his two releases (by which I mean re wrote almost from scratch.) Not only does it seem a tad more thematically consistent this way but it’s also much less powerful now. The 1st release can only do one ranged attack at a time, shorter range and for my money less lethal. Plus Osamu has to move about and be active to get anything done now. Similarly with the 2nd release he has to move around, the level of protection is roughly the same but it’s hard to precisely define it, he has far fewer potential simultaneous attacks or potential attacks per second and is just generally more under control. Let me know if it needs further tweaking but I think this addresses your above concerns and seems on a par with the other releases of equivalent levels.
"Less lethal"...but still lethal. He has range and skill above most others. No one can really touch his sword, even to block. If they do block, it's going to take a lot of energy to not have their blade melt. And even two simultaneous attacks is "more" lethal than others. I mean, think about it, what can Yue or even Akimoto do against flinging molten metal? Lot's of dodging and use of Reiatsu, I'm sure.

Anyway, it's good to see you back. :)
I already read the rules. If you're really looking of the 42 thing, then here it is. I, personally, don't agree with this method of confirmation which is why it was purposefully omitted.
Taking a refreshed look at that, the Zanpakuto is over-powered. I can see the Shikai being able to meld into any single various shape while keeping its lethality. Also, any length it could have I would cap at 20 meters.
The current Shikai is much the level of a Bankai.

My reasoning: he doesn't have to do anything to kill everything. It's the ultimate offense that doesn't need a defense. He can sit back and have the wires lash at everything. Even if anything were to get up to him, he has "perfect" Offense and Defense.
Accepting it the way it is would mean that the wires would need to be able to be repelled with Average Reiryoku (Impressive if all at once) in Shikai and Impressive - Legendary Reiatsu in Bankai depending on the number of wires attacking. Its resilience to Kido should also be similar.
If this was intended, it should probably be added. (and by "probably" I mean "needs to be") ;)

Otherwise, everything is in order and I very much like the character overall. Welcome back ^^
I added for what you were looking. I also added a faux-release for his normal Monster form.
I didn't miss those two sections. They were mentioned in the history. If you need specific names from his heritage and their histories, I can do that.
And I remember the OP. I actually copied the CS and omitted what I displaced instead of reiterating (since I hate reiteration >.< (not a pass at anything)).
The female thing was hinted at in what he Dislikes, but since that was too vague (yes, I tend to be vague and usually unintentionally) I just added it to the History.
Yet to be Accepted

Name: Solon Phenix
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Monster Type: Phoenix
Grading: A

Human Powers:
Blissful Aura – Those around him experience an increase in luck and fortune. Their relations with others go more smoothly and there is an overall calmness when in his general vicinity (20-ft radius and does not travel through barriers). This is largely minor though noticeable. Those who know of this aura outright have the ability to ignore it if they choose to resist. This also does not affect him.
Minor Fire Manipulation – This is limited to open flames. He cannot increase or decrease the size of the fire itself. He, can, however condense or expand the fire. Doing so increases the focus required to control it.
Enchanting Song – Being a naturally skillful singer, his range can affect the moods of others should he choose to sing. This may be resisted through greater means that his Aura, but with both, it is increasingly difficult. He has songs which lull the listener to sleep or uplifts their spirit or vitality.

Monster Powers:
Fire Creation – He now has the ability to create waves of fire that can consume a large area. He can change the temperature at will, allowing it simply warm and remain harmless to touch or able to melt steel.
Healing Tears – Tears from his eyes have healing capabilities which mend a wide array of physical wounds. Poisons may also be cured but must be able to enter the blood directly. The amount of tears is directly proportional to how much might be healed.
Razor Talons – His claws are highly durable and painfully sharp.

Advanced Powers:
Light Aura – A halo appears around his crown as if the brightness of his feathers and down reflects the light in such a way to produce a rainbow. His presences how has an ethereal nature as well as a Blissful one.
Fire Mastery – His feathers can be as hot as lava or as cool as water. Furthermore, the flames produced from his wings and beak grow more vibrant and disarming, should he decide them to be.
Deafening Shriek – His Song can become a frightful shrill that can stun most anything able to hear it.
Regeneration – Erupting into flames, he can set himself afire and char his body into ash and dust. Performing this transforms him back into his human form and, thus, may only be performed once in his Advanced form.

Sealing/Unsealing Requirements: Being in the presence of a Dragon (in monster form) forcibly transforms him into his Advanced form and is the only method with which to become Advanced. This is due to the associative relation between Dragons and Phoenix in his heritage. Regeneration is one of the only means with which he has to return back into a human form. The other is escaping the presence of the Dragon completely. He also has difficulty transforming into and out of his regular Monster form as high enough levels of aggression and an air of threat will cause him to defensively transform into a Phoenix.

Personality: Shy and self-conscious at times. Will be friendly when allowed enough time to be acquainted with an individual. Crowds give him anxiety, but to an easily-handled degree. He is diligent and efficient but can be lazy at times.

History: He only recently began to take some level of pride in his monstrosity. He came from a long line of Phoenix’s but his parents attempted to suppress his abilities in order to fit into the human world. Unfortunately, he’d been gifted with his great-grandparents skills and found it incredibly difficult to suppress his abilities. Because of his Blissful Aura, he got along well enough with humans but found it difficult to explain some of the accidents surround his unusual nature. Because of this, he's remained reserved and highly self-aware. The subtlety of females makes it easier to remain in a human form.

With the death of his grand-parents before his birth and his parents’ lack of knowledge for controlling these abilities, they’ve resorted to placing him into the Yokai Academy in order to control his powers rather than just suppress them, as they noted this suppression was only worsening his social state as well as his happiness and self-confidence. His parents wish him to branch out from what is his norm so he might be able to endure heightened emotions of those around him without transforming unnecessarily.

Likes: Female company if not solitude, silence, singing (classical arias/musicals/lyrical)
Dislikes: Aggression, self-importance, music he doesn’t like
Fears: Harming others, not doing “well”

I've studied a bit of Astrology and have a fair bit of interest in the subject. I'm not a believer that it's a tell-all know-all "science." In my opinion, it is akin to a religious practice and should be subjectively interpreted.

I've studied the Natal/Birth Personality aspect of Astrology and use it with my knowledge of Psychology and Sociology. I enjoy the process of trying to understand people, and Astrology has been a way for me to do so, with some liberties. For those I've read Natal Charts for have found a level of understanding one's self that is almost like having seen a life-coach or therapist. However, I always preface that I am neither and am not licensed to diagnose, treat, or medicate anyone. Again, I use it as a tool for self-reflection and understanding.

For those who would like me to attempt to read their Natal Chart and interpret it, PM me your chart (if you know how to get one), or your birth Date, exact time (minutes count), and exact location. Only do this if you are comfortable releasing this information to a stranger over the internet.

Note that I will interpret much differently than any other licensed Astrologer or any practicing Astrologer. Repeating the above, it is interpreted subjectively and the planets, houses, and signs mean slightly different things to each individual.
