Alright thanks Wind.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Character Application:

Name: Ken Grant

Race: Human

Age: 25

Sex: Male

Appearance: A human of average size and slim build Ken is very much a standard humanoid jedi knight. He has short cut flat light brown hair and dark green mossy eyes. He typically wears his jedi robes and outside of that is very modest and simple in what he wears. He has a dark black leather belt he usually wears to keep a hold of objects he needs such as his lightsaber and other useful tools. He is light skinned Caucasian. He has no scars on his body.

Background/History:

Born on Corellia too two smugglers working for the rich of Alderanian nobles and Corellia's underground crime syndicates both his parents intended for him to join in on the family business. His parents were noted for their ability to do a variety of odd jobs both legal and illegal for their clients. Their skills for fabricating official papers and bypassing blockades often led them to cross paths with republic officials and jedi alike but never were they themselves caught. Growing up on a space ship and on Corellia wasn't something large in his life as he would never truly know his parents. His father Richard Grant was an old friend of a Duro jedi master named Nim Zhos who would take young Ken in as a jedi once his force affinity was found out and Richard thought it would be better to have his son grow up as a jedi and realize his potential rather than waste his life as an average smuggler.

He grew up on Coruscant initially training under the various trainers there and was under the guidance of Nim for private lessons and advice at the Duros's own request. He was found to have a talent for telekinesis during his basic training when he could lift more objects than his fellow students. He was talented and his masters knew it he just needed to apply himself more when he was older. He often found himself staying up at night looking at the sky and wondering what life would be like when he was older. He very much felt at peace in the jedi temple and felt happy when he used the force it was something he felt comfortable doing and he wouldn't want to do anything else.

In training on Coruscant Ken struggled with fighting and being on the offensive because he simply felt like it wasn't something a jedi should do and as such he was directed towards the path of Niman once he finished his basic Shii-Cho style of fighting. He was more comfortable in this area and decided too focus on that style of fighting when he became a padawan. His fellow students often came to him for advice for which Ken could not give much due him being more a savant in the force than anything. The applications of the force he was able to impress his masters with were things that simply came naturally to Ken and anything else came only after long practices and strenuous efforts to learn them.

Nim Zhos would eventually decide not to take Ken on as a padawan which disappointed him but he found solace in the fact that a friend of Zhos would do so a Weequay master named Org Glee would take him under his wind. Org decided the city would be too much of a distraction for Ken and him so they moved to Dantooine where Ken quickly adjusted too after a few months. Ken was more at peace in the farmlands of Dantooine than he was on Coruscant's loud cities. He felt more attune to the force in the quiet lands and often spent times leaving the temple with his master to meditate in the wild lands. He learned more about lightsaber combat from Org especially about Makashi which he found to be a great augmentation to his chosen style Niman which he practiced often on Dantooine. He developed a more controlled and centralized fighting style that focused around minimal movement and controlled fighting style that could be used to simply outmaneuver more wild melee styles and dominate less talented opponents but left him open too blaster fire.

By the time he went on missions to help sick and wounded people around the galaxy he felt proud of his progress as a jedi and Org would often praise him for his calmness under pressure and his dedication to the light and helping people. Ken found a place among the stars he loved to gaze at and started to pick up holovids about older jedi and events that happened before his life. He was happy and he was content. He had many admirers among his fellow padawans and students alike and would often volunteer to help younger students in training. He didn't want more power, he didn't want to become a big name in the galaxy he was simply content in his life as a simple jedi.

Org and him rarely went on too many dangerous journeys together but they did spend time training in harsh environments on places like Kashyyyk to improve fitness and endurance that was needed for strenuous activities. He often found himself training with his old friend Nim Zhos and his padawan, a zabrak named Leo Habel, even going on missions with them to more crowded planets where more jedi were needed. He and Nim cemented their friendship with Nim praising him calling him a true jedi in the making and that his dad would be proud of him. Leo would prove a worthy, though unwanted, rival to Ken who would outpace him in almost all fields. Org felt that Leo was becoming more frustrated in losing to Ken so often and warned Nim Zhos who took the words to heart.

Though he was getting older and he had many accolades under his belt such as taking out a group of criminals on Coruscant, and weeding out a small group of Mandalorian mercenaries on Neimoidia by himself after being separated from his master he was still not a jedi knight. Org thought he was ready but Ken thought he still had something too prove and much to learn. Ken learned one day from Nim that Leo had left the jedi temple and he felt worried. He had not resigned from the order but his frustrations proved too be too much for him to handle. Ken tried to find him but found it way to difficult to do so and thus went back to his usual jedi missions and hobbies of reading and learning more about history. It wasn't too long to find out what had happened to Leo as he was found to have fallen to the dark side and resorted to joining a crime syndicate on Coruscant. Ken asked his master if he could go and try to find him but Org denied him the request saying it would be too hard a challenge for anyone to face down a friend. However Nim approached him the day after and asked him for help and deciding if anyone had a chance to help a fellow jedi back to the light it would be him.

Ken and Nim left for Coruscant Nim telling Org that he was going to take Ken for a trip to the temple to learn more about the great hyperspace war. Nim and Ken spent weeks tracking down and finding out more information about Leo before they finally confronted Leo who refused to come back with them. After a engagement Leo trapped Zim in a gas chamber forcing Ken to fight Leo by himself. Ken was taunted and mocked for his adherence to the light and his commitment towards a code that weakened him but Ken didn't falter despite his inner turmoil at fighting a friend. The fight went on for sometime before Leo was disarmed and injured by Ken who was more talented in singular dueling engagements. Ken refused to kill Leo and freed Nim who thanked him for his courage. Leo tried to escape but failed and was taken back to the council. Leo was officially exiled and imprisoned for illegal activities and Ken was both praised and condemned for leaving his master on Dantooine and lying but any blame was shifted to Nim Zhos who insisted he was to blame both for his student and for taking Ken.

Ken went back to his master and was scolded for his actions but the two embraced in a hug once that was afterward the Weequay telling his student he was proud of him for not falling to the dark side or killing his friend. The experience however did jade Ken slightly but he took his master's offer and went to the council to take the jedi knight trials. He passed and was given over to the jedi councilors where he found solace in the fact that he had many like minded individuals and was very happy with his new found friends and position. His friend Nim Zhos even gifted him a spare lightsaber and a white lightsaber crystal for his successes.

Personality:

A proud jedi and a strong believer in the light side of the force Ken is a true jedi through and through. He refuses to break his jedi code and doesn't enjoy taking the life of another and if at all possible he will try to avoid doing so. He strongly believes that a calm mind and a strong spirit is needed for a jedi to succeed in things and as such it takes a lot of stress for him to stray from his peaceful mind. Friendship and companionship come easy to Ken though romance is something he completely abstains from and he refuses to grow too attached to members of either gender. In the midst of combat he retains his level headed nature and his dislike of combat preferring to disarm or disable opponents but is not afraid to take a life if need be though he find the act to be abhorrent. He likes serenity and loves to be in the middle of the nature as his deep connection to the force allows him to feel much of what is around him in the midst of meditation. He has no interest in becoming stronger for the sake of power but is practical enough to know when it is time to improve his abilities. He is soft spoken the majority of the time but he has been knowing to raise his voice when he feels it is needed or when frustration sets into him.

He aspires to find his way onto the jedi council and too become a competent jedi that others could look up too though he does not wish for fame. He enjoys meditation and reading books during his time not done training. He also enjoys watching holovids and watching others play puzzle games though he himself doesn't enjoy puzzles. If he had to have one vice it would be that he is too much a proud jedi to see other people's points of view. He is also brave in combat though he lacks the natural charisma and talent to be a leader in war.

Skills/Abilities:

General:
Lightsaber Niman Specialization
Lightsaber Makashi Training (Worked into Niman)
Lightsaber Jark'Kai Knowledge (His master Org specialized in this)

Strengths:
Deep Connection to the force allowing him to perform powerful or potent force abilities.
Excellent Telekensis Abilities
Strong Force Healing
Ability to keep calm under extreme stress and not falter in the face of danger
Patience and willingness to wait to see if a better opportunity is given to him.
Talented Lightsaber fighter - His specialized fighting style allowing him control over a battle in close range with minimal movements and a general control over a variety of situations.
Languages known: Duros, Galactic Basic, Wookie

Weaknesses:The strength of his connection to the force - While his abilities are strong they need to be harnesses by concentration. His stronger applications of the force are limited by how much time he has to perform them.
Multiple opponents - Ken lacks the ability to handle more than two enemies at a time and has issues handling blaster fire especially from multiple angles.
Pride/Close Minded - He isn't able to see from others point of view and refuses to break the jedi code to the extent where it hampers his ability to be practical in some situations.
Strength: While in his prime and still very much a young human male he is not very strong physically though he can call upon the force to hold his own in combat. Likewise he has issues dealing with opponents who can get past his center of control and overwhelm him with sheer force.
Lacks Ambition - He doesn't see himself as a legend nor does he aspire to be so. As such he does not aspire to be stronger or more talented than he needs to be to fit his situation.
Lacks dedicated lightsaber style: He has no real affiliation with any one style of combat. His versatility with a lightsaber has prevented him from becoming truly a master of one style though Niman is the closest he has come to a dedicated style it is still augmented with Makashi which brings over it's own set of weaknesses. And his training with Jar'Kai is very limited and is only a trick he pulls out when he is backed against a wall.

We're accumulating way to many weapons specialists at this point we need engineers and other sort of characters.

Persona 4 - Black Carnival - Casual

OOC Link:http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/126828-persona-4-black-carnival/ooc#post-3681111

"Oh....interesting so this is the cast in this little play of mine hm? Very odd this group of young children to come and face me in this darkened hall. Welcome small ones too my lair and come take a seat and let's spin you a tale. Of bravery and lies, of truth and sadness, of conquest...and death. Perhaps some of you are keen to know why we set our tale aflow...in a distant land of sun and samurai. This small town of Inaba is more than just a small little town. Truth be told chaos came along and forced a group to form to stop the flow. But now something different has come. To this idyllic little town. A new story to embark is your task after you leave this creaking ark. Too come and face them is your task. And dance the dance of flowing lies. While keeping friends close and form new ties. My task that I beset too you is the search this fading realm of shadows. A land full of humanity's pain. Understand these bloody tears and stop the darkness from creeping near. It is your task with these cards that symbolize your heart of hearts. Trust me child this is no lie nor a fabricated cry."

"But wait you say...what does this have to do with you? Everything and nothing at the same time. Perhaps you will find the truth. Hidden underneath all this pain. Or maybe you will stop in the shade. Darkness roams and rules this plane. You will either succeed and breath in the light or drown in shadow burnt with blight. So this contract I offer you...too give you power to get you through. Despite all the pain you will suffer you will be better for my offer. Will you accept my perilous task? Or shall you pass from this trek? I only ask that you stay true to yourself if you do. Sign your name and know your real name. A mask to give you strength..."
====

Alright thank you scarecrow/joker for weaving the start of this roleplay of mine but let's get a bit more clearer on what this roleplay is about. This will be set in Inaba from the 4th game. The events of the game did transpire however the cast has left the town for the most part and will only be shown in cameos. This roleplay will take place both in TV Land and an area akin to the dark hour that has appeared alongside it. The events of Persona 4 transpired three years ago and thus makes the time period 2014. You may know some of the characters from the old cast but the chances are you won't have known most of them except if you grew up in Inaba. This roleplay will not have a wild card and everyone will have a specific card given to them (I.E Tower, Strength, Chariot but not judgement). You may have a custom persona however keep in mind I will reserve the right to refuse it if I don't feel it fits the arcana it represents.

In regards to Arcana or Tarot Cards please base your characters around your chosen tarot card in one way or another. It'd be weird to have a shy, mousy, and small young girl be a representation of the strength arcana for example. There will be no stats and the skills like Zio will be implemented in combat as assist moves to your characters in combat. Think of it as a quick way out of a tough situation or when you're fighting something big.

Igor will be replaced by Scarecow/Joker the reason why I'm calling him both names is because he insists that he has no name and will be taking the spot of Igor for all of us. He will offer assistance but it will be cryptic most of the time and sometimes what he says may even be blatant lies. He himself will call himself a narrator but he also fancies himself a writer and likes a good twist. However ignoring him may be just as dangerous. He can be helpful or harmful but he will not interfere without an extremely good reason. Once you're character is deemed strong enough he may even use his power to unlock a stronger form of your persona or another one entirely.

We will all be in Inaba Highschool too make things simpler to get the cast together just like in Persona 4. I may consider a middle schooler if there's a good story and reason behind him or her being there.

The basic plot is more or less along the same lines as Persona 4 down to the school year just starting and everything is fine. However people are growing uneasy after the recent disappearance of a woman in town seemingly out of nowhere with the police out to find the person responsible. However there hasn't been any real leads. It seemed a lot like the events a few years ago but no murder victim has been found and there won't be. What happened to the people will be told in the story. During the night Joker/Scarecrow will appear to us in a shared dream and start us on our way unlocking the first seal too our individual arcanas but not giving us to them outright. The following day will have a few of us (if there is a large group of people interested in this roleplay) exploring the tv world and the new area.

If there are anymore questions please ask me and I'll be glad to answer them.

"Come now children don't be shy me and vance will show you why. That a journey is more than words. But a fable is not made on one's own."

Kid's Next Door: R.O.L.E.P.L.A.Y

Character Name: Codey Jackson

Full Name: Codey Leo Jackson

Code Name: Codey

Numbah: 2-20-2

Age: 11

Grade Level: 6th

Personality : Brave, reckless, and kind to almost everyone young Codey is the model student and young adolescent in the public eye. He is willing to get his homework done and doesn't instigate trouble in school. However despite all of his positive qualities he is still very much a star example of a KND Agent when not around his parents or high ranking KND Members. He is a very bad loser and he is very selfish about ice cream, candy, and other sweets but is willing to share it if it means picking up a younger KND Member. He enjoys wrecking things and especially loves taking adults down a notch. He is very proud of his KND record and is noted for being willing to take over any position that he can cover with confidence. That being said he is not to fond of being ordered around or being around bossy KND Leadership. He tends to be a unpredictable combatant and strategist willing to use the unorthodox to his utmost advantage. He is a fervent believer in Numbah 0's philosophies and believes that every KND member has a right to rise above their station if they have the guts to try it. He is very passionate about what he believes in and refuses to look down on any KND member who has not disgraced themselves. At the end of the day Codey is the type of agent who would lay down everything if it meant letting kids keep having fun and being independent.

Biography : Born in a small town in Michigan young Codey was born to an army sergeant and air plane pilot. His parents and him would often travel about here and there and Codey himself would spend a lot of his time in a military base or in day care. Too say Codey was an active child was an understatement. He went everywhere climbing on everything and challenging others to do the same. Codey spent his early childhood however being disciplined by his harsh but fair dad while being taught by his mother about what it means to be an American child.

It wasn't too long before his activities caught the notice of KND agents who were also military members and he ended up joining their ranks after he accidentally stumbled upon a mission led by a top KND agent in the area and saving the mission from failure when it turned out one of the team members assigned to the mission was a Adult sympathizer. He spent the start of his career learning in Arctic Academy where he excelled especially at combative roles and strategy. It wasn't too long before he graduated and started to take on many missions all over the USA as his parents were assigned to different locations forcing him to switch locations. While he stayed under the general radar for a long time KND noted his skills and eventually when he became nine he was made into a instructor's assistant for a summer in the Arctic Academy. He helped train KND cadets but soon realized it wasn't for him before he resigned and went back to active duty. He is credited with having foiled many plans and plots of adults while being noted for being hard to work with due to his crazy battle style and generally being hard work with during big operations. He has not been promoted too higher KND ranks due to his more devil-may-care approach to missions and operations. Regardless just as many former team mates would agree is indispensable during a fight.

Position: Combat Specialist and KND Historian (If need be he can take on the spot as leader)

Skills:

Adjustable Combat Style
Good at planning loud offensive operations against adult centers
Wide knowledge of KND Weapons due to experience in the field.
Pridefully strong willed

Weapon of Choice:
S.P.I.C.E.R

Kid's Next Door: R.O.L.E.P.L.A.Y

I did have a picture the CS just has an error in the coding that includes "Picture here" inside of the image coding. Unfortunately the coding also turns bad for some reason after I include the picture so I'll submit it to the CS section without the hider.

Persona 4 - Black Carnival

I don't know why it's taking so long we've had a couple people appear but they've been missing for days like an actual persona game.
