Fate/Renegade Star [Fate/stay night Roleplay]

Here's what I've worked out. I admit I'm not super familiar with the complex system of the source material, but I checked the wiki to make it as not-derp as I could manage. If anything seems wrong or too weak/strong, let me know! A lot of his information is uncertain and conflicted, so I hope it's okay that I sort of 'canonized' some aspects such as the cause and time of death, and when he was born being based on guesstimating him to have died at 150. The wikipedia page I used is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma if anyone is curious and wants to compare how I did at converting him to a Heroic Spirit.

Beserker

True Name
Bodhidharma "The Blue-Eyed Barbarian", formerly known as Jayavarman

Class
Berserker

Gender
Male

Bodhidharma

Appearance
A man of Indian descent. His hair is dark black, thick and curly. Bald on the top of his head, he has a prominent beard and thick eyebrows. His face is weathered and stern, and his wide blue eyes never blink as a result of having no eyelids. He appears to be very old, yet has a hardy, muscular physique. He wears the simple robes of a monk, orange in color, and a pair of simple sandals. His broad, hairy chest can be seen through the long v-shaped neck of his robe.

Birth & Death Dates
378 - 528, Died in the Heiyin Massacre at the age of 150.

Alignment
Neutral MAD

Summoning Item
Ancient Sandal

Personality
Bodhidharma is famously ill-tempered, with little tolerance for failure in himself or others. This temper can lead to violence at times. Even when not enraged, he holds high standards of dedication in himself and others. When calm, he is a stern, contemplative man with a capacity for very deep, profound thought. Instead of the focus on words that many have, Bodhidharma believes in personal self-realization.

Bio
The Legend of Bodhidharma is a conflicting, shrouded one. He came from India, and traveled far and wide. His travels took him to China, where he saw the physical state of the Shaolin Monks and was displeased. Thus he taught them of one of his two books, known as the Muscle Change Classic, formed of the 18 Arhat. These teachings gave them great constitution and strength, and would become the basis for Shaolin Kung-Fu. His second book, the Marrow Washing Classic, was inherited by one of his students and it's teachings lost to time. He once refused to continue his teachings of a pupil until they cut off their own arm as a show of diligence, the student doing so. It is similarly told that he influenced many other forms of Martial Arts, such as adding forms to Silat. Near the end of his life he spent nine years in a cave, staring at a wall. He refused to speak this entire time, but after nine years it was discovered he had fallen asleep for the last seven. In a rage at his failure, he ripped his own eyelids off, where they became the first tea leaves upon contact with the ground. His death is unclear, but what is known is that he was found on the shore of a river by one of his students, and is likely to have been a victim of the Heiyin Massacre. His legend does not end quite yet, as he was later seen by a traveler holding one sandal in his hand. When questioned, he said he was returning home. The traveler spoke of what he saw, and after being accused a liar, the tomb of Bodhidharma was opened to reveal only a single sandal. The followers of his teachings agreed that he had, indeed, gone home.

Weapon
Unarmed Martial Arts, 18 Ardat Style.

Parameters
Strength: C
Endurance: A+
Agility: C
Mana: D
Luck: E

Class Skills
Mad Enhancement, E Rank. Known for his temper, but not madness, the class skill is somewhat weaker than it may be in other Berserkers. Enhances Bodhidharma's Strength by one rank. This comes at the cost of his ability to be calm, coherant, and rational. When under the effects of Mad Enhancement, he is prone to lashing out and liable to damage himself, others, and objects out of carelessness and frustration. Mad Enhancement, fortunately can be switched on and off with Master/Servant consent.

Personal Skills
Chinese Martial Arts, A+++. As his legend holds, Bodhidharma was the founder, contributor, and practitioner of many martial arts and a master among masters. His skills in hand-to-hand combat are difficult to match, and his direct, simplistic style of fighting is deceptively potent.

Divinity, D. As an accomplished Monk who served as the first Chinese Patriarch of Chan Buddhism, founded and contributed greatly to the Shaolin Martial Arts and others, and eventually transcended his own death, Bodhidharma holds divine status. This divine nature allows penetration of some defensive skills.

Vitrification, C. Though legendary for his failure to meditate for nine years, Bodhidharma can still his mind and protect it and himself from the outside world. This is accomplished by practicing what is known as Wall-Gazing, allowing him to become hard to distinguish from the wall itself so long as he remains still, speechless, and awake. Due to it's requirement of staring at a wall in front of his face, it has limited applications, and it is disabled when Mad Enhancement is active.

Noble Phantasm
Returning Home, "Enlightened Monk's Transcendence of Life and Death".
EX Rank, Anti-Unit (Self), Self, One.
Bodhidharma's legendary revival after his death forms this Noble Phantasm, and allows him to return to life once after being killed. This ability cannot be called upon, as it holds the condition that he must die in order for it to activate. There is no known means to prevent the activation of this ability, but Anti-Divine attacks of sufficient strength may do the trick. Once killed, Bodhidharma will revive immediately.

Edited some things as per request!

Fate/Renegade Star [Fate/stay night Roleplay]

Heyo, browsed through real quick to see if all the slots were taken or whatnot. Unless I derped hard, Berserker and Lancer are open, as well as a few Master slots, yes? I'll start thinking on a heroic spirit that'd be fun.

Chrono Trigger: Fates Intertwined (Player Driven CT RP) STILL ACCEPTING!

Could be fun, I think.

<Animorphs>

Zasha clapped his hands together once in relief at Clay producing the missing piece of alien technology, giving a wide smile. He casually hefted the cube up from it's place on the table, turning it around this way and that in his hands as he looked it over. The Andalite's comment caused him to look up from the device, his curious look shifting into an amused and mischievous smirk.

"Oh I dunno," He returned his gaze down to the device as if sizing it up. "It's pretty big, and us human's don't come with built-in pockets to hide things in." He paused in faux-thought, even pursing his lips for effect. "Well, there is one." The long haired teen flicked his eyes up towards Clay, giving him a sly look and an exaggerated waggle of his eyebrows. "But Clay strike's me as the type to require at least a nice dinner first and some scented candles."

He made sure to keep watch on the aforementioned teen to see his reaction, but allowed himself a moment of more serious consideration. Lightly tossing the cube from hand to hand for a moment, he eventually shrugged and suggested the only thing that made any sense to him.

"Fire up the morphin' cube, slap a hand on someone, borrow some clothes, say you're a visiting friend from out of town. Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy."

<Animorphs>

The mall wasn't the most exiting place if you asked him, particularly when his friend only really wanted to be there in order to schmooze with the popular kids from school. Zasha didn't particularly have any interest with impressing other people, which was pretty evident from the sneakers, track pants, and baggy green hoody. It wasn't quite cold enough for the hoody, but they were cozy enough to put up with being a little on the warm side. Plus, he liked this one since it had a picture of a cartoony frog on the front. While Josh was doing his thing though, he was just window shopping and generally chilling out. Every now and then they'd exchange in small talk, but at the moment the football player was off attempting to insert himself in a group of nearby mall rats hanging out at the tables nearby.

He idly fiddled with a strand of his hair, twirling it end over end in one hand. Someone walked past him with a plate of plain pepperoni pizza, and thoughtful frown formed on his face. Speaking up suddenly, he offered some entirely unsolicited advice to the pizza-holders bewilderment.

"Pepperoni is bland, at least add some peppercorn or dip it in ranch, dude."

After a moment to register what he'd said, the person simply shrugged before continuing on their way to a table. Zasha just gave a small shake of his head at his advice being ignored. Alas, if people wanted to eat bland pizza, there wasn't much he could do about it. He turned his attention back to the crowd, and almost immediately his gaze fell upon a pair of familiar faces. Funnily enough, they weren't far off from where Josh was schmoozing it up. Ceasing the twirling of the strand of hair between his fingers, he hopped off the small dividing railing between the tables and the rest of the mall.

Putting a hand on a chair at their table, he gave a friendly greeting.

"Hey, Kim'n'Clay!"

As he pulled the chair out to sit down, he paused and cocked his head to the side in thought.

"Heh, sounds like a sitcom don't it?"

That said, he plopped himself down in the chair after twisting it around so it faced slightly away from the table. Not having to worry about the height of the table now, he propped one of his legs up across the other. The hand that had been fiddling with a strand of hair before went to fiddle with the loops of the strings of his sneakers instead. Normally he'd lean back and put his feet up, but he didn't trust the tile floor. It was deceptively slippery, and he'd already busted his ass on it from doing that once before. He gave the female of the two a wide, playful smirk directed at the glittery lip gloss that had smudged onto her teeth.

"The twins replace your cheerios with glitter again, Kimmy?"

From what he knew of them, which was admittedly little, that didn't sound too out of character to be honest. That wasn't the point though, as friendly banter need not be steeped in serious reality.

<Animorphs>

^{Zasha Vasiliev}

What's your name?

Zasha Vasiliev. Zasha, not Sasha. It's Russian, and no it's not a girl's name. If you want to just call me some nickname because the whole Zasha-Sasha thing is too hard for you, go ahead.

How old are you?

Y'know I thnk I forgot? I barely think about when I was born or when my birthday is until it comes up once a year. Then I just forget about it again. Lesse... I'm pretty sure I'm seventeen, turning eighteen once my b-day rolls around. Probably.

What do you look like?

I'm average height, I think. Maybe a little on the tall side, I don't really keep track. I think five-foot-ten sounds right. I'm average weight, but I look pretty lean because of how lanky my arms and legs are. It's kind of a pain, never have any leg room so I tend to put my feet up if I can. Usually people complain about that, but I couldn't really care if I tried. Anyways, I guess in terms of facial features I look like your average dude. Straight nose, kinda pointy chin, high cheekbones, thin lips, round hazel eyes. I'm told they sometimes look really green, but they usually look just plain brown when I think to glance in a mirror. I got long brown hair, hangs a bit past the shoulders. Personally? I really love my hair. It's super soft and fluffy, and has kind of a wavy thing going on when I don't have it pulled back in a ponytail. Although when it gets humid my hair goes kinda super-fluff and looks ridiculous and gets in the way. Other than that, I guess I might be a bit androgynous looking overall? I think I look plenty obviously like a dude, and maybe it's just the hair and name, but a lot of folks seem to have a hard time with it.

Do you have any hobbies?

All kinds of stuff, really. I watch tv, read books, play games. Mostly video games, but I'm a big fan of board games and card games too. I like to read and watch stuff on the internet, but I don't really participate in any forums or anything like that. Not too into most team sports, but I dig stuff like boxing and martial arts. Terrible old kung-fu movies are some of my favorites, and I've been participating in school and local gym boxing clubs for awhile now. Not the best at it by far, but I give as good as I get usually. It helps that I'm stronger than I look, especially for my weight class.

What are some things that you especially dislike?

Flying bugs. Crawling ones are fine, and hell rolly-polly's are kind of cute if you ask me. Ants are kind of assholes though, you can't tell me they don't understand territory. They can be outside all they want, but they need to keep out of my house. Anyways, flying bugs are the worst by far. I don't know what it is, but they seem to have it out for me. Bees, flies, butterflies even, are constantly getting up in my face. Literally. Other than that, I don't have any patience for stupidity and I really dislike people who don't even try to get someones name right. It's one thing if its some hard sound you never make, or it's written so you aren't sure how it's said, but it shouldn't be that big a deal once they correct you on it. I also really dislike bland food, like plain oatmeal or pepperoni pizza. The worst though is cheese pizza, which is sadness incarnate. Outside of those things I tend to be pretty chill and open minded, though.

What are your goals for the future? Both immediate and long-term.

Immediately, pretty much just to do the whole school thing and enjoy the stuff I like to do. Long term, I'm not really sure. Maybe pursue the boxing thing, or figure out some other job. There isn't really anything career wise thats struck my interest yet.

What's your home life like? Specifically, what is your relationship like with your parents?

Right now? It's pretty good if you ask me. We've had a lot of ups and downs, been pretty broke before. Used to move every other year, sometimes every year. Been here for about two years though. I like it here, so I'm hoping it'll stick. Anyways, as for my family, it's just me and my folks. Both of them have night shift jobs, and they transferred around a lot. I mostly took care of myself when a babysitter wasn't, and I didn't really get to spend much time with them when I was a kid. Once I was old enough to look after myself though, things kinda settled down into a pretty chill if kinda oddball parents-son friendship. Sometimes we're more like really close roommates than family, but not in a bad way if you ask me.

What's your favorite animal, and why?

Man that's kind of a hard call. Other than flying bugs, I really like most things. I'd definitely have to narrow it down to the fluffy ones, though. I guess I'd have to say Cats, mostly because it's the only kind of pet I've ever had.

Favorite color?

I really like purple. Not the lighter one that's usually called purple, but that deeper kind of royal purple shade.

Do you identify with any song or piece of music?

Not really, to be honest. I like music just fine, but I've never really been one for identifying with songs or characters or whatnot. I just enjoy it for what it is.

Do you believe in aliens?

I don't disbelieve in them, if that makes any sense. I don't know there aren't any aliens, just that we haven't found any in the places we've looked. At least, assuming nobody is lying about that, which is a whole other issue. I'm not really a conspiracy theorist type, more the... You can only ever be 99% sure type. Anyone who says they're 100% sure on anything is kind of an idiot if you ask me.

^{Zasha's Relationships}

Keira Crowell

The hell is Keira Crowell? Oh, is that the girl with the hunchback? Or was her name Karen? Eh, beats me. Either way, I don't think I know her. Might have seen her around school or something, but I've seen pretty much everyone around school. That's kind of how school works.

Clay Finnegan

Clay? Ah yeah, that guy's a joker. Sorta anyways. He's actually kind of a grump? Dude seems to like pranks, though, so he's gotta have a sense of humor. Sometimes his pranks fall a little flat or are just annoying, but he's pulled some really good ones. Never see him prank anyone else, come to think of it. Weird. Anyways, the dude isn't half bad if you ask me. He gets a lot of flak from folks for being a bit grumpy, kinda dense, and broke as hell. Honestly, been pretty broke myself before so I can understand why he might be a bit grumpy. He apparently got held back a year for... I think it was a fight or something? I don't really remember, to be honest. He can be kind of a dick sometimes, so I wouldn't be surprised if he got in trouble for fighting with someone. Anyways, other than at school I tend to see him at the gym. Only on free days, because of that whole broke as hell thing. Usually he tries to just be all grumpy and do his thing off by himself, but if everyone else is all paired up I'll usually pester him into doing some boxing warmups or a light spar. Dude is a pretty good boxer if you ask me, so he definitely can't be as dumb as people seem to think. I'm pretty sure it's just people getting hung up on how he talks. Although, every now and then Clay will have like, a zen moment of crystallized stupidity and I just can't help but sass the hell out of him. It's all in good fun, though.

Kim Ha-Sun

Kimmy was one of the first people I met when I started going to school here. She showed me around on my first day, and I remember at lunch I gave her some advice on how to make the terrible cafeteria pizza better. Anyways the chick is pretty snarky, which is a lot of fun. We don't really hang out that much, but we share a few classes. For the most part we banter a lot, not really about anything in particular. She's gotten some pretty good zingers on me, since she's got a pretty sharp wit working for her. I got a few of her buttons down, though, for when I feel like messing with her. See, she has kind of a hard time with english because english is a pretty stupid language sometimes. So sometimes I'll start saying stuff like "Unpossible" instead of "Impossible" and she'll get all flustered and sometimes start using the wrong word herself and it's pretty great. The best part is she can't really call me out for it since it technically means the same thing.

Josh Segel

Josh is my neighboor, actually. Me and my folks moved in next door two years back, met him on the way to school once. We started chatting and the like. After a week or so of that, we were officially friends I guess. He's a pretty good guy. Dude's really into FOOBAW as he calls it, and that's fair enough I guess. Not really my thing, but we have some other similar interests to talk about. He's a bit too talky sometimes though. Not socially, but in terms of action. I'm plenty friendly myself but sometimes what a situation needs to get resolved is a good punch upside the head. Sometimes literally if the situation is someone being a dick.

Gili J. Rose

Ah yeah, Gili! We don't hang out much, and I think I've caught a glimpse of that hair at school or around town like once. Every now and then, though, I'll pop through an alley or something for a shortcut and run into them. They like to spray paint buildings and stuff, except it's actually artsy stuff. Not the usual stupid shit gang taggers do. Personally, it makes the place less boring looking. There's nothing quite as dull as plain concrete or brick buildings all in a row. They could at least paint them different colors. Anyways, Gili does good stuff. Usually while Gili is doing their painting thing and we're chatting it up, I'll try out some of the crazy shit I've seen in some martial art flicks. Doesn't usually go too well, to be honest! Damn near break my ass every time. I know it's possible though because stuntmen do it, and some of those actors do it themselves even. Jackie Chan, yo! Hell, I've even seen stuff online of random people doing it. I think they call it parka? That doesn't sound right, actually. Huh. Well, they call it something like that in any case. But yeah, we both usually get a good laugh out of it. Fun times and all that.

Superpowered RP: Looking For Five New Players (High Casual/LOW Advanced)

If you're still looking for more people, this sounds pretty neat to me.

<Animorphs>

Yay! Also, you're currently dividing by zero. How are you doing that.

@tobiax

Oh wow that is weird. I guess it doesn't count hours up to 23?

Nice to meet you/Welcome to The Guild! I PM'd you with a few things to go over, but Zasha's sheet's pretty good as is.

@DeadBeatWalking

Ah, posts keep happening right when I go to post! Anyways, alrighty. I'll look over those pm's and shoot you some replies.

<Animorphs>

Hey, welcome! It's kinda cute seeing such a small amount of time on a profile. Like a little baby account.
Anyway, hi. I'm our resident obsessive Animorphs guy. Nice to meet 'ya.

@tobiax

Heyo! Yeah, I was looking around here and saw this and a few other things, so I decided to sign up an account here. Used to do some RPing on other forums, but those exploded on me awhile ago. Anywho! Can't say I'm an expert or anything, but I read a lot of the Animorphs books once upon a time. I think I might still have some of them somewhere around here, but I always really liked the series.

@Xeronoia dude i love zash he seems so?? easygoing & fun!!! and.... and so ripe to be destroyed by The Horrors of War^TM... tearing the sweet ones apart is one of my favorite past times. u////u

if you want/if you're accepted, i'm more than happy to help you with the bb code on the skeleton & make it all ~**~*pretty*~**~. no worries if you'd rather not do it or whatever; just thought i'd offer.

ps hi there i'm dead anime dad & i'm the resident labrador retriever hyped up on bacon-bits. nice to meet you!

@dead anime dad

Oh hey! You somehow snuck that post in the time when I was replying to the other guy, haha. Anyways, thanks! He's definitely the type to take the whole horrors of war thing particularly hard, so it should be fun. As for prettying the entry up, sure I don't mind! I'm not too good at that kind of thing personally, so if you'd like to take a crack at it by all means.
