Cocaine? Again, I'm an Argie, not a Mexican. We don't smuggle cocaine. We smuggle tons of 500 Euros bills.

I also added the last two Magic points i didn't use to skill points, because I remember you saying that was possible. If not, no biggy.

Name: Takao Shuichi
Age (Actual): 24
Age (Appears): 26
Race: Human
Appearance (Picture or good description): This.
Powergrid/Powers:
Intelligence: 3
Strength: 6
Durability: 3
Speed: 3
Fighting Skill: 7
Magic:
Healing: 5
Elemental Fighting Magic: 3 - While he isn't helpless with an unenchanted weapon, he makes an effort to blend the elements with his technique. Usually, this means he'll hurl sharp, piecing blades of air, sweeping strikes of fire or something else to that nature. It's not always very effective, but within a rather decent range (let's say 100 meters) he can make an impact on his target, although his effective range is a bit less than 50 meters.

Weaknesses (Optional, but you could get more points if you do this): People. Takao is not a people person, but he is bound by code to always defend those in need. As a result, he's hindered by the weak or those in distress.

Personality:

History:

Takao was born in 1847 as Bontenmaru to a Samurai and his wife. His father was a drunk and his mother a whore. There, backstory.

At the age of five, Takao began rigorous training to become a Samurai. Being part of the Fujiwara clan, it was expected of him to be a fierce Samurai, and loyal to the emperor at all times, and this meant indoctrination into the cult of personality at a young age. His physical training began at the age of six, once he'd proven himself within the presence of the Emperor that he was loyal to his master. Within two years, he'd broken thirty bones, most of which he was told to ignore, for Samurai never complain. He was taught he was to become the best of the best, and he truly believed that. At 14, Takao was declared a man, and officially given the name Takao, meaning hero, or gentleman, due to his kindhearted and genuinely caring nature towards all who he did not fight. Not one year later, he proved himself worthy of the name when he saved his teacher from certain death at the hands of a few paid assassins from a clan which rivaled his teacher's, but not his own. This, in turn, started a feud between his clan and said clan, which ended with said clan being reduced to a minor peasant family.

At the age of 18, Takao had reached a level of his training which his teacher could rightfully call him a Samurai, and he was bestowed a traditional Kimono. Two years later, he would see this Kimono burned as his teacher's final message to him that he was no longer welcome in the dojo. He'd sworn his allegiance to the Emperor, and his teacher chose the Shogunate over the Emperor. A mere six months later, he'd see his teacher's heart pierced by his sword on the battlefield.

Four years later, Takao was a successful Samurai, an honored member of his clan and a very wealthy noble, one of few who still participated in battle. His success could be attributed to becoming the protector of what his clan called the 'Emperor's Fury', a sword which he would not use until his own was rendered useless. That year, he was transported from the middle of a battlefield to modern day Japan, where he would be found by a team of scientists and taught basic knowledge he would need to operate in society (or at least some) and then sent on a short tour around the world before being placed in Elfen High.

The DRM issue was a mistranslated attempt to explain what they were allowing publishers to do. DRM is at the hands of the publisher. And the online check-ins were something I think should be kept, although slightly altered, because it's necessary for moving to a no third-party distributor market. Meaning Gamespot not stealing out of the pockets of consumers and publishers alike.

Well, that's your choice. Personally, I like the idea of completely online markets, and I want a steam-like market for console gaming. Microsoft is the only of the three that is making the necessary steps towards that.

Here's all my stuff.

Marowit and Czernobog one-shot.

Name: Ludovika "Ludo" Zamenhof
Age (Actual): 144(?)
Age (Appears): 24
Race: Human(?)
Appearance:

Powergrid/Powers:
INT 10
STR 1
SPD 3
DUR 2
FS 4

Lv. 4 Dimensional Manipulation - Interdimensional travel, and all sorts of similar mindbending clusterfuckeries from the darkest pits of quantum mechanics are within Ludo's grasp. She can turn herself into a real-life version of Schrödinger's cat, popping in and out of existence at will (in fact, she spends 90% of the time doing so), or transporting objects and beings to other dimensions.
Lv. 3 Gravity Manipulation - Ludo can increase and decrease the gravity affecting any place and object...to a certain degree. She can't quite produce a city-swallowing black hole, but it's something.
Lv. 2 Mechanical Intuition - She can build tons of awesome, if mostly useless machines, with practically any sort of junk at hand. Her personal favorite are Tesla-like machines. The more electricity, the better, and if someone loses a hand or gets decapitated by a death ray, then it's a good day's work. That being said, while she is good at this stuff, she is no super engineer, so expecting her to build an entire locomotive from a few scraps of rusted metal is a bit too much.
Lv. 1 Age Negation - For some reason Ludo won't or can't explain, her body is stuck, never aging. Some blame Obama.
Weaknesses: Did you ever read "Watchmen"? Remember Dr. Manhattan? Well, multiply that by five, divide it by seven, and then you'll have a raw estimate of what's wrong with Ludo. She's not completely apathetic, let alone a totally cold-hearted and nihilistic bitch, but she often has a hard time understanding many common human emotions, and she sometimes forgets many important stuff about being human (such as remembering to classify her socks according to how thick, flammable or carcinogenic the fabric is). A psychiatrist once suggested that she might be suffering from schizoid personality disorder, but he died from spaghettification shortly after prescribing her some medicines. Also, while her powers enable her to make herself impervious to quite a few physical hazards, she is still human(?) and, thus, vulnerable to guns, knives, poison, Ebola, aging, Thai food and taxes.
Personality: This strong independent Jewish woman who don't need no (human) man is the textbook definition of deadpan, sprinkled with a nonchalant hyperactivity and the mental linearity of an LSD-consuming Yog-Sothoth. In a single short conversation, she can quickly move through weather, religion, astrophysics, teddy bears and winemaking, to end the entire ordeal with the groundbreaking conclussion that earthly weather is meaningless when compared to the cosmologically astounding perfection of kittens. Surprisingly enough, she is anything but elitist or intellectual. In fact, she leads a quiet and modest life, give or take her interdimensional and time-traveling antics. And while she has much trouble connecting to human beings, she is nonetheless polite in most situations, although she never stops being cryptic, and a bit reminiscent of Carl Sagan with a vagina. She is unlikely to insult anyone, and she is rather uneducated in the fine art of sarcasm.
Ludo has her share of strange mannerisms. As a matter of fact, she has such a wide array of bizarre ticks and compulsive behaviors that Nikola Tesla himself once said: "Та кучка је луд."
Personality quirks aside, Ludo is someone who feels much passion for science and her inventions, and she believes it is her duty to improve the world with her creations (even if most end up being weapons of mass destruction and super sex toys). The knowledge that some of her inventions have been used to murder innocent people is a heavy weight on her conscience.
She is fond of puppies, birds (especially owls), apple struddel, oolong tea, chocolate-coated strawberries, sex with aliens, "Harry Potter", and Tarantino and Fellini films.

History: The Chicago Tribune once claimed that Ludovika Zamenhof had been born in Tuzla, Bosnia. However, since everyone knows that the Chicago Tribune's credibility is worth less than rat shit, Poles have been more than happy to claim ownership over the only woman known to out-crazy Nikola Tesla. Either way, Ludovika Zamenhof was apparently born in 1886, in a universe parallel to ours. She was probably daughter to L.L. Zamenhof, and she obviously is a natural silverette.
Regardless of whether her birth in 1886 was her actual birth or the birth of her first known physical incarnation (apparently, she may have fucked with quantum physics just enough for her to have been born multiple times before 1886), the girl born in 1886 was without a doubt born a prodigy. She learned to talk shortly after her first birthday, and by age five she had single-handedly translated the Bible into three languages, with a couple of side-notes pointing out logical inconsistencies and outright falsehoods. She was deeply fascinated by the night sky, Isaac Newton, Jules Verne and opium. It was the powerful combination of all four things what led the twelve-year-old Jewish girl into her first scientific breakthrough: she was the first person, in her dimension, to develop a general theory of relativity. Of course, since the world in her dimension was ruled by intensely creationistic monarchist guanacos, her claims were dismissed just as quickly as the absurd concept of "diet soda".
Distraught but far from defeated, she continued to work tirelessly on her many inventions and scientific theories. The following year, she shocked the whole world with the creation of the world's first "Zamenhof coil", which was kinda like the Tesla coil in our own dimension, except Ludovika's coils could be used for cleaning, cooking, killing entire cities and sex. Her groundbreaking invention helped the Great Slovenian Empire defeat an alien invasion from Pluto. The successful use of the Zamenhof coil, and many other of her inventions, earned Ludovika her first Nobel Prize, and the funds necessary to start her own business: Terra Nova Industries, a multi-billion dollar company that managed to bring technological milestones to the common folk long before our own universe invented them.
While her prestige grew, Ludovika remained rather modest and secretive, hardly ever leaving her lonely cottage or her isolated factory in Ireland, where she moved after her parent's death. From then onwards, the details of her personal life remain a mystery, although the tales of her interdimensional journeys are quite well known in her world. She has participated in intergalactic wars, witnessed a Big Bang, and shared a drink with GLaDOS and Morgan Freeman Freeman.
Suffice to say, the staff of Elfen High were a little bit shocked when Ludovika Zamenhof, who had not been seen in our dimension for over fifty years, suddenly appeared inside Crowley's office, demanding that she be allowed to attend classes in that same school, apparently because she felt she needed to catch up with the current scientific knowledge of our world.

RP Sample: Yeah...no.

Name: Marowit (in the body of Taiki Koizumi)
Age (Actual): 1809
Age (Appears): 17
Race: Slavic deity / Japanese
Appearance:

Powergrid/Powers:
INT 8
STR 1
SPD 5
DUR 4
FS 5

Lv. 7 Psychosomatic Illusion - Can cast a powerful illusion capable of causing physical effects on the target.

Lv. 5 Nightmare Manipulation - Can enter, manipulate, project, alter, and control nightmares of others.

Lv. 2 Regeneration
Weaknesses: He is practically defenseless in his human form, and his true form is extremely weak to sunlight. The strength of his true form is also diminished if moonlight is particularly intense. Bottom line, keep him away from intense natural light. Also, dreamcatchers give him panic attacks.
Personality:

History:

Name: Czernobog (in the body of Kouki Tsukino)
Age (Actual): 1828
Age (Appears): 19
Race: Slavic deity / Japanese
Appearance:

Powergrid/Powers:
INT 6
STR 4
SPD 4
DUR 4
FS 5

Lv. 6 Toxikinetic Combat - He is able to utilize poison with their physical combat, making their every touch potentially fatal. User can utilize variety of poisons, ranging from painful, disorienting and nauseating to lethal.

Lv. 6 Miasma Emission - He is able to exude toxic gases, causing various effects on others who inhale these fumes including hyper stimulation, lethargy, coma. Because gas diffuses indefinitely in concentration, it becomes less potent and less concentrated once it has expanded.

Lv. 2 Regeneration

Weaknesses: He is practically defenseless in his human form, and his true form is extremely weak to sunlight.
Personality: Modestly cruel and just as figuratively poisonous as he is literally, Chernobog takes the "deadpan snarker" archetype to a whole new level, one that not even Marowit would dare delve into. He likes making his loved ones feel miserable, and he enjoys those pleasures usually deemed immoral or dangerous a great deal. He drinks, he smokes, he bets, and were it not for the fact that his poisonous blood makes sex dangerous, he would probably shag every single human being he could lay his eyes on.
Can he occasionally be caring and heroic? Certainly, but even his ex-husband, Karewit, was seldom on the receiving end of such positive attitudes. Most of the free time he shares with his friends and family, he spends it humilliating them.
That he is such an unpleasant individual most of the time, however, is not nearly as shocking as the fact that most of his malicious actions tend to actually have good long-term effects on those around him. This makes some of his "friends" wonder whether he's just a closeted "good god".
The body he occupies shares most of his traits, although it has provided him a charismatic edge that has only served to make his antics a lot more persuasive.
The bottom line is: if he smiles, you're fucked.
He is fond of coffee, sake, cherry blossoms, cherry ice cream, exotic birds and the Beatles, and he thinks that Lovecraft was one of the best comedians who ever lived.
History: Czernobog was born a few years before Marowit, and was raised side by side with Belbog, his far more meek but ultimately far less fortunate brother. They were originally intended to be the Slavic competition for YHWH and Satan, but Czernobog was too concerned with drinking sake and eating cherries to be the King of the Damned or the Prince of Darkness. That being said, the Black God and the White God did find a sense of purpose when they integrated themselves into the Wendish pantheon, where a strange and lifelong "friendship" was born between the first and a young and not-yet-sardonic Marowit.
After the fall of Wendish paganism, Czernobog and Belbog traveled around the world, until they finally settled in Japan. Czernobog became a poet and musician, while Belbog became an actor and an artist. They lived comfortably, despite constant clashes between their opposing personalities, but it all came to an end when Czernobog married Karewit, a flamboyant Wendish god. Their wedding sparked a scandal throughout the Slavic pantheons, most deities denouncing Czernobog as a horrible person and a terrible influence for Karewit. It was Marowit's support that stopped the controversy from escalating, but Czernobog was left with no choice but to move to England with the other Slavic gods.
Centuries went by, and the Black God continued to be the same moderately successful author and mean-spirited drunkard, with a husband that was far too loving and patient to bash his head in with a baseball bat. On occasion, he would retire for a year or two to Japan with Belbog, who was penniless and suicidal.
Unfortunately, even Karewit had a limit, and that limit was Czernobog's increasingly poisonous bodily fluids. The messy divorce left behind an even worse-mannered Czernobog, who promptly abandoned his old human form and moved back to Japan, reclaiming the body of his good friend and disciple, Kouki Tsukino.
When Marowit and Lir split up for good, Czernobog offered his clearly depressed friend a place in his apartment and bar in Tokyo, as well as the body of Taiki Koizumi, the last disciple of the now dead Belbog.

Czernobog: "Did you just...kill my baby brother?"
Liri: "Yes...and you're secretly really sad about it and using Marowit as a surrogate to cope with the loss."
Czernobog: "Nope. Nice try though."
Liri: "We both know you are a jerk with a heart of gold."
Czernobog: "I can't believe your eyes haven't popped out of their sockets with how full of shit you are."
Liri: *le sigh* "I'm gonna love writing you, Czerny."

Well you don't have to get rid of disks. It's quite likely they're going to allow you to play games offline whenever so long as you have the disk. The 24-hour check up is a licensing issue.

Because I make extreme efforts to investigate these things, and make sure to keep in contact with others who do.

Granted, I love the PS4 for sticking to it's guns and holding up the status-quo for those who want it, I just praise Microsoft for their ultimate goal of a pure and simple online market. Progress has it's bumps and turns.
