Hmm.
I see, though I'm not sure why you're denying someone else merely because they have a spider physiology (traits and abilities/powers of the arachnid variety). Spidery character vs a Serpent style character would kinda be interesting.
The snake one being my guy, obviously. Also, try not to search for Snake vs Spider on Youtube, because all the videos have rigged fight scenes.
Usually they show small or weak snakes vs big poisonous spiders. Which is unfair.

The only reason i'm fine with your "snake dude" is because you said that you will rarely use it. But someone planning to walk around with eight legs doesn't really...Erm...You get my point, right?

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I'm thinking that these creatures are the true forms of our characters, but it's usually a more human-seeming form that is generally taken, most of the time. Hence the rarely revealed true form of my guy is a giant badass snake thingy, for instance.
I think that'd be better. Eh?
I think Tetryx had the same kind of idea as me, though I can't always be absolutely sure.

We'll have to talk with him. The reason I'm trusting you is because I heard you have a good reputation, while Tetryx didn't get much props..

[Corvus Metallum]

Does anyone want to talk to Jay?

[Red Croatia]

Does anyone want to talk to Jay? I don't think there's anyone else in Coloss.....

Nobody that's online for now...Someone can do the same thing that Alexis and Jack did.

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

I just looked at Sylvanas app...She reminds me of that girl I met at my friends birthday party only not as hot

[Red Croatia]

Darnit Jay, I had this ready.
Nevermind, Writing up for Sylvanas.

Alexis Rhodes

Alexis, who was currently waving at some guys who stared at her at the Coloss table right next to Jack and her, but while she was turning back to her usual view she noticed someone who seemed slightly lonely at the Coloss table. (Jay), "Talk about not matching the stereotype....Should we talk to him?" she said while poking Jack's shoulder.

I see. I guess being known among RPers generally pays off, eh?
Because I hadn't really heard of Tetryx until this RP. I think it's probably better to let people in, and see how they do, in the RP, rather than dismiss them out of hand, or perhaps assume that they're going to do something bad. Some people have potential, and besides, one can always kick someone out if stuff gets out of hand. That app was better than most I see these days, which is probably saying something about the quality of RPers in current times. There's too many quarter-baked apps and mediocre posters.

Just thought I should say that. It's better to see how someone will do, rather than not give them a chance at all.

Also, somebody likes World of Warcraft.

Either way, your character is accepted.

Okay.

In my app immortality or eternally the same age wasn't listed as a power, but it was listed in her backstory that she is fanaticly trying to learn this.

Do the same, make sure you mention the research you do during the rp once in a wile and add slight breakthroughs and eventuelly you'll get it. You have to realise, until you're 30 theres little reason of actually swapping bodies seeing you're still heading towards your prime. So that gives you 12 rp years worth of time to learn it.

I see.
Okay, then. Funny, cause 30 was more or less the estimate I made, too.

Here we go again:

Name: Ryu Orochimaru Kyōgoku (Replace all references to Ryu with Orochimaru)
House: Magna
Gender: Male
Age): 18
Appearance:

Years in the Academy: 1
Ability: Shadow/Darkness Manipulation, Snake control/summoning (that kinda thing), Snake/Hydra physiology (snake-monster thingy basically), Supernatural Condition.

Necromancy (though he rarely uses it, and only then usually to manipulate others, with promises of bringing back friends or loved ones so that people will do what he asks, that kinda thing).
Personality: Orochimaru possesses a complex personality, but more often than not, however, he was often described as twisted by a large number of people,though there are always those who are drawn in by his charisma, an ca be loyal and almost fanatical in the way they regard him, though he usually just uses them. It's speculated that this was due to the fact that two of his childhood friends died, one of an illness and a weak constitution, and the other in an accident, imply that Ryu grew to disdain the fragility of human life and how it affected those still living, which led him to desire immortality. To that end, the primary purpose of Ryu's human experimentation is to test what modifications the human body can endure and harness a subject's unique abilities for himself. Once accomplishing this goal, Ryu has hopes to be worthy of the title of "ultimate being", unable to die and able to achieve his secondary goal to learn every spell in the world, which would normally take many lifetimes to obtain.

Often known to be cruel, Ryu's agenda made him develop a god complex and valued himself while delighting in striking terror in his first impressions. Though causing conflict to ease his boredom, Ryu seems to have no interest in battles started by others. His charisma also attracts a number of followers, many of which he would not hesitate to send on potential suicide missions if for his own personal benefit, expressing some remorse if they're unable to properly complete a task, having no sentimental attachments to any of them despite their values. Despite this, Ryu has genuine interest in the development of his underlings and experiments.

An aspect of Ryu's personality is also his greatest weakness: his arrogance. He truly believed he is an invincible immortal at times, attacking recklessly against powerful opponents, despite not necessarily being informed as to their capabilities, and therefore not only underestimating them, but also possessing an additional factor that can contribute to his losing. Despite his distinct lack of morals, Ryu seems to be well-versed in human psychology and displays insightful wisdom when chastising the more ignorant in such things, including some who have a lack of understanding in such matters. He often shows disdain for those he believes are considerably weaker than him. He's also come to have a thing for death. Ryu has a dark and unusual sense of humour.

Basically, Orochimaru.

Backstory:
Orochimaru was born into a fairly rich family, his father from Japan, and his mother from Sweden. One of his ancestors on the Swedish side, happened to be relatively famous fortune teller, among other things. A number of his family members are occultists, including his parents and siblings. Much of his family had already had an obsession with mystical, and occult things- also having been initiated into certain forms of paganism, so it was not hard to make the decision for him delve into the things he did, including darker magick. Even from his childhood days Ryu was identified as a genius in whatever it was that he took to doing, and a once-in-a-generation prodigy. He is surprisingly knowledgeable about a considerable number of things, primarily of occult and historical nature. Some of the reasons being that he desired more knowledge and power. His fascination with conflict also leant him a proficiency with some weapons as soon as he as able to delve into that kind of area. Ryu has also managed to become adept in certain martial arts due to lessons he took tempered with some experience. He is also fairly good at drawing and playing several instruments, including guitar, drums, piano, the shakuhachi flute, wadaiko, koto and accordion, among others. He's also omni-lingual, speaking a number of languages, like Japanese, Swedish, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Greek, as well as a few others.

Ryu has been through all kinds of little adventures despite his relatively young age, and many of them, strange or less so, are too numerous to list here. Now, he seems to be doing fairly well in life, and has attained somewhat of a reputation, mainly for his good looks and outwardly charming nature, though he was shunned by those who knew what he was really like, and plans certain things to reach his own aims. Many people saw him differently, and this contributed to his becoming detached from mot other people. The deaths of two of his friends also contributed, as well as that of a relative of his. Despite having a fairly prestigious family, some elements of his childhood weren't so easy, and to put it simply; things were quite complicated. Among other things, there were always those who were jealous of his lineage, as well as those who treated him differently because of his unusual eyes. He regularly listens to bands like Therion, Nightwish, HeavensDust, X Japan, Dir En Grey, and various others. He is in several organisations such as The Order of the Green Dragon, Dragon Rouge, Ordo Templi Orientis, Illuminates of Thanateros, TOPY , the Temple of Set, and OSOGD. He doesn't consider himself an advanced student, but has studied Aikido, Wing Chun, Jujitsu, Kali, Savate, Krav Maga, Tae Kwan Do, Judo, Boxing, and Shaolin Kung Fu, over time, and so he isn't completely helpless when it comes to self defence, though he isn't a master of unarmed combat, either. His older cousin is in the Särskilda Operationsgruppen (Special Operations Task Group, SOG), of the Swedish Armed Forces, and taught him a few things when it came to certain military matters, in the odd time or two he came over from Sweden to Japan.

He has travelled to various parts of the world, and despite some of the less profitable experiences, he has gathered some knowledge in fighting. Once, he encountered a group of terrorists, whilst on Yonaguni, a Japanese island in the Pacific Ocean, in case ya didn't know. It was during the fight that took place there that some of his magical potential was noted by certain people in an occult division Japanese military, and he found himself under a fair amount of scrutiny, especially regarding some previous events which he has vaguely hinted at having a hand in, regarding a large number of mysterious disappearances and deaths in some parts of Japan. Though these were due to his ol' villain quest for power and immortality, with experiments upon those he kidnapped being fairly nasty. His rather intelligent mind insured that he has facilities, hideout and that kinda thing in various parts of the world, and he always worked things out so that his secrecy was maintained, and he wasn't discovered. He also experimented on his own body, to the extent that his true form is big, serpentine and creepy. Among his research into immortality, he has found certain curse seals, another part of the deal, that he is developing. In regards to the markers, each cursed seal contains a portion of Orochimaru's consciousness, which allows him to share the senses of those who bear his seals. In the event that he is killed or sealed, he can be revived through one of his cursed seals if an individual presses flesh containing his DNA up to the cursed seal and uses the Evil Releasing Method. Through this process, Orochimaru can be completely resurrected any number of times, as long as there are enough remaining cursed seals and pieces of his DNA. Both techniques have yet to be mastered, naturally. It's years till they'll be perfected, so he has to watch out in the meantime. Recently, after a visit to Sweden, the potential that could be gained in Momentum Academy was revealed to him/insert plot reason here, and he travelled down to Denmark, quickly finding himself there. Some people seem to find him a bit creepy at times, so the way others view him is often a mixed bag. One thing he definitely isn't regarded as, however, is a nobody. Among other oddities, his unusual eyes alone can mark him out.
