*le double post*

I am now up-to-date on the submitted profiles. If you check the accepted characters list and see your character there, obviously I have no fault with it and you're good to go. If not, there is something I'd like you to fix about your profile. As for what those things are...

@ Juicesir - Do you want to have any sort of special power? Because right now, you don't. You've listed some talents which could be considered normal, but if you want something that is not normal, you might want to edit. If you're fine with lacking such powers, then let me know and I'll add your character to the list of accepted ones.

@ Kitten - Invisibility is too good without some sort of limitation on it. Add a limit--a time limit or a speed limit--or change it to something less complete than pure invisibility. For instance, chameleon. You don't disappear with chameleon. Instead, you just blend in. You can be spotted, but not unless someone is paying close attention.

@ TheNinjai - I'm just a little hesitant about those four powers. Having three combat-applicable abilities like that makes me a little wary. I'd feel more comfortable if you dropped one of them. If you really want to keep all of them, though, I'll go ahead and accept your character. Just don't abuse them.

How long do I have to make a character until you get the IC up? And is there a role you'd want me to do? I'm not in the mood for a huge amount of responsibility so not sure Shogun is a good idea for me. I'd rather do something more like an assassin or bounty hunter, mixed with a bit of Kenshin personality.

I had a samurai character that had a defensive based fighting style. He'd wait for someone to strike, then make a defensive move to knock them off balance and strike with great precision and speed. So, if there isn't much time left, I can convert him if you think a character of that style would benefit your role play. His history is stereotypical for my characters. Sick wife, he's motivated to find a cure, blah blah blah. I'm a drama slob sometimes.

@ Twisted - Make whatever you think would be most fun for you. An assassin would be fine. I'll be making a bounty hunter, and you can make one if you wish to, as well. Up to you. I'm not sure how much time you have before I put up the IC topic. I still need to post my characters, after all. So if you get yours posted before I post mine, you're fine. Plus, I'll be waiting until people have fixed their profiles as necessary before I put up the IC topic, anyway.

How's this?

Katorai Ryu


The history is meh, and I really hate writing it. I wrote it a long time ago, so, I hope you'll understand the lack of quality for it. I edited him to fit the template you had and changed several things.

Phew. Histories are as annoying as usual. Let me know if anything needs changing. Still debating on his first name, but I think I'll keep it.

*has changed it like five times already*

Edited a bit.

ah yeah it was going to have limitations lolz. i just didn't put them. Though now edited in to Amaya's app is 'invisibility for a short amount of time'. Does that work? or should I actually put an actual time limit?

@ Kitten - An actual time limit would be good. And I'd prefer if you put in a speed limit, too. For instance, not being able to run while invisible. Or having it wear off more quickly the faster you move.

Gonna likely be posting a few times in succession here, but... Well, I'm finally getting my own characters posted. Huzzah! Also, I'm caught up on the profiles again.

Now, the first character of mine. A blast from the past version of this roleplay, but with a new twist: he's on the opposite side. For now.

How long does the invisibility last while in combat, or does she not even bother using it then?

I went ahead and accepted it. Just waiting for Juicesir to fix his profile, now... I'll probably PM him about it just to speed things along.

If anyone wants to make another character, feel free. Any side will do. We could use more female characters, since thus far the gender balance is quite poor.

I would greatly, greatly prefer for the Shogun to be male. But as a very last resort, the Shogun could be female. And if you can play characters on opposite sides. That's not a problem.

VIBRATIONS SO GOOD LIKE A SUNKIST!
First Name: Kasumi
Last Name: Sayuri
Gender: female
Age: unknown, guessed to be between 19 and 23
Sexual Orientation: bisexual
Alignment: evil
Occupation: traveling gypsy
Side: assassin
Appearance:
Spoiler: click to toggle


Personality: Kasumi has a very good silver tongue that she uses to her advantage. Being very smooth and selective of her words, she does nothing but temp the minds and bodies of those around her. She only cares about personal gain and she will kill anyone or anything just to get what she wants. She doesn’t wish to fall in love mainly because she feels humans are nothing more but toys for her to play with and dispose of as she wishes. She can also come off as very sure of herself, but she’s just very arrogant.

History: Kasumi wasn’t born in Japan, she was born in the middle eastern. Raised by her Japanese parents while traveling with a group of gypsy. She learned that she must fight to get what she wants and sometimes even kill. Her parents weren’t around a whole lot so she was raised by the gypsy women. Sadly though her parents ended up leaving her behind, but Kasumi didn’t care one bit. Here is when she learned about the serpents eye’s. The gypsy’s taught her everything about it.

She went on through her life until a man seen her and took her from the band of gypsy. This man made Kasumi his wife and gave her everything he had, of course she didn’t get any of that without being the temptress she is. Slowly she grew bored of the man until she heard of his family treasury. She used her silver tongue to get her husband to show her where it was, of course the man showed her without a second thought. As they got there, Kasumi noticed two odd blades and grabbed both of them out of the shrine they were sitting in.


The man broke out of his little trance since she lost her concentration on him. He told her about the blades and what they could do. Her husband tried to get his way by saying he would give her the blades if she would do something for him. With one swing she cut off his head, only because she was bored of him and felt he was of no more use. After that day Kasumi noticed she was coughing up blood. She wasn’t sure why but at the same time she paid no mind to it. The only thing that was on her mind was making her way to Japan for some odd reason.

She traveled by boat and met a man on that same boat that was taken by her beauty. This man seemed to know a body doubling spell that she liked. She learned what she could from this man and just threw him overboard to the sharks that were following. She practiced the best she could with her blades and the abilities that she learned. Amazing enough she was able to master the blades on her own just before she got to Japan. When she stepped off the boat she seen a land that was ready to be taken by her.

Weapon(s): two blades elemental blades without hand guards. The right blade is known as the Behemoth blade as her left handed blade is called the leviathan blade (seen in picture)

Power(s): Eye’s of serpents: looking into her eye’s is very dangerous, they are known in foreign lands to be used by gypsy’s themselves to tempt any they wish. Her eye’s can make man and women alike almost fall into a hypnosis state, but they are causing the person to slowly fall for her. Of course the spell can be broken and avoided. To avoid it, one must not look into her eye’s for longer then ten seconds. After that ten seconds it becomes very hard to break the spell, but when caught in her trance it’ll take will power to break it or for her to lose concentration . Most warriors or even monks are able to break it, but they must be true warriors and monks. Mere peasants couldn’t hope to break free.

Blades of the earth:

Leviathan blade: this blade has the ability to have water come forth covering the blade and making it sharper. Of course the water can be shot out in a high pressured blast that can shoot a hole through anyone and almost anything. Once she does that though the water goes away till the next day.

Behemoth blade :the right handed blade uses the element of fire, but since it’s fire it also hurts the user. This blade can be activated only by her and when she wills it. The blade awakens and is covered in fire. She stabs this blade into the ground causing an explosion that is 6yards wide. Of course this is more of a sacrifice ability, but it does take 5sec to blow. With the blade having fire around it, the user can shoot out a slash of flames also, but like the Leviathan blade once that is done the flames leave. This blade also hurts the user by slowly burning their hand. That’s why she would only use it if really needed.

Smoke screen: with both of her blades activated, she hits them together and creates a small smoke screen that she only uses to get away in.

Body doubles: this is a fake out. Her body doubles are nothing more but illusions that flicker. She never mastered this ability so she can only make five of them. To the untrained eye one couldn’t notice that the fakes flicker while she does not.



Weaknesses: Using her blades fire ability harms her, underestimates everyone, has a sickness that causes her to cough up blood if she strains herself.

Likes: herself, anything she wants, the smell of fire, bending people to her will

Dislikes: messing her hair up, her own blood, being denied what she wants, flowers.

Other Information: Kasumi was stricken with a sickness awhile back. The sickness causes her to cough up blood if she strains herself. If she does strain herself then it just brings her closer to death until she relaxes. She isn’t sure how to get rid of it, so she learned how to deal with it, but too many times has she almost died because of it.

I went ahead and accepted the character. So we now have three women and six men. Anyone else want to make a female character? I might not make another character after all. We'll see.

I had an idea for a female assassin, but I'll probably hold off on it for now and see how busy Makoto will be. Or I can post it up now and RP as her later on, if that works. :.

Sure. Just make a note that she's not going to be active from the start.

Would anyone mind terribly if I made a character who is essentially a vampire? Because with all these seductive and mesmerizing people on the assassin side of things, I figured the shogunate needed someone who could return the favor. (And do it for blood.)
