Thank you, :) I'm glad you like her, lol. I don't think I've ever been so nervous when submitting a character..

Hm, that one does fit too, doesn't it? I don't mind changing it to that, if you'd prefer. :)

Hahaha, why nervous? Do I really come off as being so evil? XD

It's up to you, really. I mean, the profile doesn't encompass the whole of her character, and I've yet to see her in practice, so it could end up that she's a perfect fit for the High Priestess. I trust your judgment on this one.

No, not evil, lol. You just seem like the type that doesn't mind pushing others to write better, it's an awesome thing. :) Just made me a little nervous is all, lol.

And... I think I'll leave it at the High Priestess and just play her out in the rp. I have an idea of how I'd like to play her, it's just... a challenge, sometimes, to fit that into a profile right away. Make sense?

Ahaha, yes, that's definitely true. But on my planet, we call that "too damn picky". I won't lie; above-average writing skill is important to me. It's part of the experience. But it also makes people wanna beat me up. XD

That works for me. Makes perfect sense. I'll put you up on the list. :3

@Remliel
Sure.

Name: Lostia Hurin
Arcanum: Judgement
Gender Identity: Male
Age of Appearance: 42
Weapon of Choice: Sai
Skill/Ability: He bears each persons actions for all to witness.
Personality: He neither scolds or praises anyone. He is always a very cheerful person. He enjoys the company of multiple people never wanting to be alone. Some say he has a cheery disposition on life, but in reality he is mornful of life.
Physical Description: He stands roughly at 5'8'' not quite tall, but not short either. He has golden blond hair that flows midway down his back and frames his face. He has steely blue eyes that seem to gaze into the soul of every person he sees. His upper body is well defined but hidden under a thick white robe. The robe is woolen embroidered with golden stars.
Extra Information: He is mournful of life due to the errors humans make upon the earth. Though he does not judge anyone of thier mistakes on the physical realm, consequences come on the spiritual plane.

((I got the information from the site so I do not know if it fits to your standards. Sorry in advance if it does not.))

I decided I would go ahead and post the CS I got really interested in Judgement as I read about the card.

If you're just copying information from a website for your character, that's not really very creative. I did stress creativity. So you might want to actually give yourself time to comprehend and interpret the information, rather than just slapping some random, nonsensical traits onto my skeleton. It's a no for now; take the time to learn about the cards instead of just browsing really quick and copying down nonsense out of context. Also, you misspelled "Judgment".

@Lock
That's fine. I was wondering if you'd post; I saw that you've been lurking a while.

@Pinxie
I'm flattered to hear you say that! And I'm very pleased that you've joined us.

I didnt copy and paste I said i got my information from the site they are my own words I can give you the site address if you would like.
I just looked in google images at the "Judgement" Tarot cards and they were all spelled exactly the way I spelled it.

I didn't say copy and paste. I said copying. Which you admitted you did. "I got the information from the site so I do not know if it fits to your standards." That pretty much states that you didn't put any original thought into your character. You took the information from a website, reworded it without thinking of what it meant, and stuck it onto my profile skeleton.

The word "Judgment" is spelled "J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T". It's a commonly-misspelled word, but look it up in the dictionary.

I did not reword it the reason I said I did not know if it would fit your standards is because I did not look at the four traits you put under Judgement. But if you insist I will put more thought into it.
Your right sorry the cards were wrong my fault.

So you admit to not having read my information? Don't even bother. If you can't be arsed to read the plot and character information of a roleplay you're joining, I don't want you in one of my roleplays. That's just outright rude. Please leave, thank you.

Torn between two character ideas, but I'll go with my initial concept for variety's sake. The tarot I'm after is rather... complicated though, after doing some research. Eh, I'll figure something out. Should be interesting, if I get accepted (and can pull the personality off well), as my character's personality kind of conflicts with certain traits of the others.

Its getting pretty late/early here, but now that I've started, I can't seem to stop. D; But if I don't have my character up soon, he'll definitely be posted when I wake up later.
Enigmatic is insane.

I did not say that I read all the rules the plot introduction and everything else, but you specifically told me to go learn about the Tarot cards the only thing I did not read were the four traits you put under Judgment. I figured the traits would be in the information I read.

OK it's 2:30am here, so, I'm gonna crash. I'll fix any problems tomorrow.


Name: Lock Dea Silverwing
Arcanum: IV. The Emperor
Gender Identity: Male
Age of Appearance: Mid-Fifties
Weapon of Choice: Good Old Fashion Zweihänder.
Skill/Ability: His body. In other words, his magic isn't pumped into any special skill or ability, but his body. He's not superman by any means, but he is much stronger, faster, and durable, with a near endless well of endurance. His strength is that of about three nice sized men, so, he can't throw a car or anything, but he can wield his sword one handed with ease, a long side other feats, punching threw a wall, or picking up a full grown man with one hand like a rag doll being good examples. He can run faster than an Olympic track star, or to be more precise, about fast as the average bear, or car on a back road[42mph]. His body in general is tough as they come, infused with magic so that it becomes like pure stone or iron, offering a terrifying defence against event he most powerful deamons. That, along side his surprising healing abilities make him nearly impossible to kill out right from brute physical force or damage, and moderately resistant to magical tampering, like say a fireball, or curse that kills through pain and suffering, or some form of toxin or poison.

Then, there's his endurance, which is something to truly behold, he never seems to tire, and never seems to need rest, no matter the state of his body, whether it be pain or injury, even when it should be impossible for him to move, live, or stand, he can and does. Yet, the price is he'll get weaker, and weaker[as in his other powers fade away], until his magic just runs out, at which point he'll faint. And since he no longer has the power to heal his wounds, or feed his body the energy it needs, he'll die. The only way to counter this is by force shoveling food and water down his throat, or replenishing his spirit/magic, and just waiting for his body and powers to do the rest.

Over all, his skill can be summed up as his body being force fed magic to go above and beyond the normal, making him more monster than man.
Personality: Lock is a bit of complex guy. You could easily stereotype him as a tough guy, or bad ass, even a delinquent. Yet, in truth, he's a man that just doesn't take shit from anyone, and calls things as he sees them, whether he is right, or wrong, is of no real concern to him. Its that same nature though, that lets you no he wont ever lie to you, even if it'll hurt your feelings. He can be very straight forward, and blunt because of that, but, its just his way, he means no harm from it. He just likes to be vary clear. Over all, he has a good, loving heart, and cares deeply for those he'd call comrades, or family, the two inseparable to him. He considers himself intelligent and wise, and in most cases, is correct, yet, it only really shows when he sits down to converse.
His largest down sides on the other hand, is that he can be rather over bearing at times, and has a unstoppable will once his resolve is set. In other words, he's hardheaded, and thinks himself a bigger bad ass than you are, and wont back down tills he won, proved himself, or died. Period. Another flaw he has, although he 'll curse you up and down that's it a strength, is that he has a soft spot for kids. He can't help it, he loves them for the eagerness to learn, their acceptance, and that in a way, he's still just a big kid himself. He's very protective of them, going so far to as to save them no matter what, and finds it very ease to 'adopt' kids of all ages long as they'll take him a father.
Other wise, hes a nice old man, and loves a good laugh, but has a short temper when you mess with him, his friends/family, or kids.
Physical Description: An elderly man, with a strong jaw, dark sun tormented skin, and deep set eyes from age. His hair has retained its black exuberance, with out a shred of grey as if he died it, and is held in a thick, messy mane, coming down to just below his nose and ears, with a mild curl to it, rarely ever being combed. His eyes a hazel green, with faint lines of grey, and yellow threw out, that seem to nearly glow form pure focus. Along his face, deep lines have set in forming what could only be called a permanent 'serious' look, even when he's being lighthearted, or smiling from ear to ear. His build is large and tall, standing at a even six feet, with two feet wide broad shoulders, and a barrel chest that's easily a foot thick. The rest of his body is covered in ample, flexible, corded muscle, while not making him look to large or bulky, does make him seem larger than life, powerful, and threatening, the kind of man that makes an appearance worth noting, by just walking into a room. He's come to wear simple baggy black jeans, a black, cotton long sleeves shirt, and a dark grey jacket with fur around the cuffs, and hood, with black, steel toed boots. Along side as jewelry, he wears a thick silver chain necklace with a wolf's head's keening gazing as a pendant, hanging just at his shoulders. He also wears a plane silver wedding ring.
Extra Information: Like his worn face shows, Lock is very, very old, and has truly see everything, and done everything, that there is to imagine. The most notable, being when he lost his family, a wife, and two young boys. He blames himself for this, and is there fore tormented by it. Along side that, other memories line his heart, most of which now bring pain and burden. His wisdom, and knowledge, is age won, even for an immortals standards.

Interesting. A little conflicting and verbose, though. You might want to go through tomorrow and do some revision to make sure everything's consistent and flows well. I had a bit of trouble following it, particularly the ability and the personality, but I think that once you've combed through, you'll be good to go.

EDIT: I'm off to bed, folks. If anyone posts profiles, I shall read and respond to them in the morning. G'night!

Mm.. I initially planned to just read the RP information now and make my character later after getting some sleep, but after I started getting ideas, I couldn't pull myself away from the screen. Now its past 3 AM, and I'm still working on 'em. :.

Since I can't sleep now thanks to "inspiration", I'll likely have my character up soon-ish. Practically done... its just the weapon that's killing me. :I

edit: Alright. Might just go to bed myself... and finish later.

Name: Paun Vel Crest and Eau
Arcanum: The Lovers
Gender Identity: Female
Age of Appearance: Early thirties
Weapon of Choice: Rapier
Skill/Ability: Eau has the ability to heal the damage done to another. This ability has seen little use in the past and was primarily used to heal humans. However now, with the the daemons coming out more, her power has been seeing more use in healing the other immortals.

Personality: Both Paun and Eau are very loving and motherly to those around them, the exception being the daemon. They always prefer to see people happy and healthy than sad or injured. Their words are often soothing and they rarely anger. They treat everyone the same, including humans; and never coddle people.
The two are also overly loving to each other, while this loving rarely goes beyond kissing around others it has been known to go to touching on a few occasions.

Physical Description: Paun is a five foot seven inch tall female with lightly tanned skin giving her a 'healthy glow'. Her wavy auburn brown hair goes down just below shoulder length. The bangs split to either side, and are tucked behind her ears, showing her forehead. She has dark blue eyes. She never wears makeup as her natural beauty highlights her features.
She wears a long white robe, whose edges have been hemmed with red underlay causing the edge of her robe to darken some. Her robe is loose and hides most of her bodily features, however when the robe is brought in some, normally by Eau, it reveals a fair bust not too large not too small. Hidden below her robe is her thin, but not skinny, body.

Eau is only really visible from her waist up as the rest of her body disappears into a tail of sorts which falls and connects to Pauns shadow. Her typical height is generally five foot six inches. She has long straight black hair reaching the small of her back. Her hair also falls in front of her eyes blocking other from seeing them, however one eye is always revealed slightly showing her purple eyes. As with Paun she doesn't appear to have makeup on, but then again how would one put makeup on something incorporeal? She wears a red tank top which hides her small bust.
Extra Information: Eau is incorporeal to everyone except Paun, she is not transparent though.
