Hiya Granis. I'm one of the CoOPs.

The character looks good but you're still using an old application form so there's stuff missing. I think that's what's making it hard on you, and probably frustrating the hell out of you, too.

OBJECTIVES AND GOALS
Primary Objectives are what drive's your character's actions and their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Minor Goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. They are what your character does to aid them in achieving their Primary Objectives. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

Primary Objective:

Minor Goals:


Video games give us a template and an objective. In the case of Monster Hunter, a game where the player tries to outdo all the other players, the primary objective for players online is not to defeat the most monsters but to reach the highest hunter rank. That's the storyline carried out online by NPC characters. This objective won't work in PL because our storyline won't support it. Period. Hunter rank is meaningless and that makes this objective impossible to reach and frustrating to strive for.

To find his objective in life, look into what makes him tick: He was raised by hunter parents and this is the only life he knows. Perhaps he's been living in their shadows, never quite able to achieve their level of success? He has a thirst to prove himself, obviously.

But he's not some mindless video game character. Your other objectives are parroting the game itself. "Collect stuff and rise in rank". You've got to think outside the box. In the game, your strength is determined by the things you've collected. In PL, a character's strength is determined by the experiences they've had and the amount of involvement you put into it beyond having your character just sitting around and talking about life.

Primary Objective: Become the best hunter he can be in order to prove to his parents and to the hunters guild that he can stand on his own and sustain himself, but also prove that he's worthy of being called a hunter. (This can lead to all sorts of character development moments, especially when he fails a mission and torments himself by thinking maybe he's not worthy of the title at all.)

Minor Goals: 1. Learn how to cook. 2. Use his ability to fish, gather herbs and mushrooms, etc as a means to support himself and contribute to his new "guild". 3. Collect more powerful weapons to aid him in his fight against monsters so that, one day, he can return to his dimension and prove once and for all that he's not his mother or father but his own person worthy of renown. 4. Learn to craft more items, and perhaps learn to smith so he can create his own weapons and armor from monster materials.

This opens the door for your character to integrate into the game. It gives him real goals to reach. It gives him an emotional reason to be alive and keep doing what he does day after day.

In PL, the monster's strength isn't determined by his size. You can't easily kill a mouse with a broadsword. The bigger the weapon, the more cumbersome it is. The more clunky the armor, the slower we move. And when the really big monsters come into play, they're usually there for reasons other than "something to kill".

I run an alien creature which looks somewhat like an Abyssal Lagiacrus minus the fish tail but behaves like an Inagami when in a foul mood, by the way. :p

Well, I will admit that I had based most of my ideas on the games way of doing things just like you said. I also really like your interpretation of his goals. Would you mind if I just copied those into mine the way they are?

Okay, on to business.

*nods* I got that feeling. It's a good game but yeah, the objectives make it difficult to plot into a multi-genre RP. Sure, go ahead and copy them.



Kollin, ty for applying. I've looked over your app. Cer, the OP, has to approve them of course.

Mundane skill: Advanced command skills of multiple types of vehicles, most of which probably don't exist yet, but happen to include modern earth automobiles.

This is actually an advanced skill and would need points in order to work.

Ability 1 and Points Spent: Swordsmanship, REALLY good swordsmanship even before training. 7

She's really, really good but doesn't have points in being very, very dexterous or having endurance. Also, she'll need to have points in whatever you're calling the ability to perform her El Fire or use Being. This would reflect her level of training and ability to use the various powers.

Supernatural: You'll need to explain a bit more about how they work in order for the OP to determine if they'd actually work where we're at. Also, if she has cybernetic enhancements, you'd need to list that here and assign points.

The thing to bear in mind is anime physics don't work in PL. The Greatsword 'Infernus' is way too big for her to lift, if we go by that picture. Not unless her swordsmanship is a supernatural power.

You'll need to fill in her biography because we aren't familiar with your canon.

Yep. It was the swamp gas and the errant classification of the sun that pretty much revealed the hoax. I mean, c'mon, NASA knows what kind of star it is.

You'll need to fill in her biography because we aren't familiar with your canon.

I was going to do so either in the bio or separately, as it's fairly complex. And also heavily edited, the original version, for example, does not have such rarity to being able to fend off a god from your person. That and the gods there are much more like Higher Beings in PL, so that was changed too, very very quickly changed.

I did the vehicles thing because it's based (like the languages) on her cybernetic CPU core, and only a rare few are applicable. I suppose i should move both of those over and tweak the points.

You would be correct about the sword. However, the short answer of her second ability helps a fair amount with that. Also helping is the fact that the organization she works for put's her body through a high level of advanced cybernetic improvement, added with the actual armor she wears also being powered to support not only itself, but to enhance her attributes physically more. In full armor, this translates to swinging it with ease. Without armor, she has to engage systems into a pretty high level of overclock to use it, but will still be capable of the same level. Just with the added threat of the battery core running it catastrophically failing and creating a massive crater. No extra charge.

Also, i thought the power level was the points? I was confused, i remember during my watching i looked at apps, and must've come to that conclusion. I should've just bloody asked, that's why i made it 2 and 5 :P
I'll just add that into them.

Well, so far going better than planned at least. Only took 43 minutes of awkwardly avoiding the page from anxiety this time :D

PLAYER INFORMATION
NS nation nickname: Granis

Skill Level (beginner, intermediate, advanced):intermediate

How often can you post? Most of the time. I check my rps multiple times a day.



CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Shiromainu Iso

Character Gender: Male

Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Human

Age: 24

Appearance:
Face:
http://static.zerochan.net/Doujima.Ryou ... 044660.jpg
Armour:
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mon ... 0704164726
URL to Character Picture, if any:

Character Occupation: Hunter

Character's biggest strengths: Knows a lot about hunting, and is very good at it, particularly with a longsword.

[b]Character's biggest weaknesses: Pretty much everything else. If it isn't related to hunting, he probably doesn't know it. He is also very shy around new people, only really having known the people in the village all his life.

OBJECTIVES
[b]Primary Objectives
are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

Primary Objective: Become the best hunter he can be in order to prove to his parents and to the hunters guild that he can stand on his own and sustain himself, but also prove that he's worthy of being called a hunter. (This can lead to all sorts of character development moments, especially when he fails a mission and torments himself by thinking maybe he's not worthy of the title at all.)

Secondary Objectives: 1. Learn how to cook. 2. Use his ability to fish, gather herbs and mushrooms, etc as a means to support himself and contribute to his new "guild". 3. Collect more powerful weapons to aid him in his fight against monsters so that, one day, he can return to his dimension and prove once and for all that he's not his mother or father but his own person worthy of renown. 4. Learn to craft more items, and perhaps learn to smith so he can create his own weapons and armor from monster materials.


MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

List Mundane skills here
Basic training in all hunter weapon types available as of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Knowledge of how to create simple items by combining ingredients, such as the basic MH health potion.
Good understanding of when to time his attacks and dodges.
Knows how to mine and gather materials from the wild.


SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, wizarding, piloting etc.

  • Ability 1 and Points Spent:
    Longsword training, 3
  • Ability 2 and Points Spent:
    Hunter level strength, 2
  • Ability 3 and Points Spent:
    Hunter level endurance, 1
  • Ability 4 and Points Spent:
    Hunter level dexterity, 1


OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.

List:
Not sure if these should be considered magic or not, so I'm putting them in here to be safe.

Full Kut-Ku armour set (3 points): Offers decent defence against melee attacks, and resistances to fire. Weak to water, ice and dragon elements. 3 points.

Eager Cleaver (4 points): a massive katana created using machalite ore, iron ore, and electro sacks harvested from previously hunted Khezus. Thanks to these electro sacks, the weapon is imbued with a powerful electric charge, shocking whatever it cuts.



EQUIPMENT
This is what your character has on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.

List:
Hunters pouch
10 paint balls
5 potions
1 mega potion
10 whetstones
1 shock trap
3 tranq bombs
10 herbs
10 blue mushrooms


BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.

Education or Training: Hunter training from his parents.

Character Background/Biography: Iso grew up in a small village named Lokomo, which was out of the way of just about everything, far from the rest of civilisation. The only information he ever got from the outside world were from the hunters and representatives of the hunters guild, his own parents included. Every night as a child, he would sit in the guild hall and listen to the hunters tales until well past the time the rest of the village children had gone to sleep.

Because of this, most felt it was no surprise that he became a hunter himself, taking up the longsword like his mother had, although still occasionally training with a light bowgun like his father. As one might expect, he became rather good at it, quickly rising to rank 4 missions.

However, during a particularly gruelling hunt where he had to fight a Rathalos, a powerful wyvern that regularly served as a wake up call for young hunters, he was knocked off a cliff.

When he woke up, he was in a place he didn't recognise, and he was covered in small injuries from the hunt.

Shit.
This wasn't what Jeremy wanted...

He'd just been so angry, but he'd never wanted to trigger some kind of trauma!

"Hey, are you alright?"

It was just a small shudder, small enough that some people might not have picked up on it, but the timing indicated that at least some small part of her heard him.

He sighed.

"Alright, listen. I'm sorry I blew up at you. I don't know if you registered anything I was saying, but if you didn't, I've had a bad couple of days. But you have to understand that, while it is a big part of it, I'm not just thinking the war that'll start."

He paused, looking at the ground as he thought back to his actions the day before. How e was trying desperately to negotiate his way out of certain death. How, in the spur of the moment, he guilt tripped Lia into complying peacefully so he could survive. How he guilt tripped a fucking child into going somewhere that obviously held horrible, horrible trauma for her so he didn't have to die.

It made him feel sick.

"She... needs us." He said, before looking up and staring the woman dead in the eye. "Lia needs us. She needs her brother, and you, and anyone else we can find. We have to save her. I have to save her, and I'll need help for that. So please, tell me where I can find her brother, and stop him before he gets killed going after the wrong people!"

He dropped to his knees, lowered his head to the ground, and hoped to god that she'd believe him enough to actually help him.

"I'm begging you, help me save the person who sold her freedom to save me!"


IMPORTANT FINAL STEP:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details.

I was bored, and decided to make myself a puppet nation for Drova/Yuna's nation.

A huge labyrinthine Nation of caves, populated by white-haired night-elves with black wings, and the technology level of around WW1, because that all makes perfect sense!

Monarchists, actually.

And in Pyersai language, it's Kerva. :p

Pyersai language is basically me bastardizing the hell out of Polish, and combining it with a few related Slavic languages.
A puppet of/The nation beneath The Branriech.

A huge labyrinthine Nation of caves, populated by white-haired night-elves with black wings, and the technology level of around WW1, because that all makes perfect sense!

Romanian is better.

Muh Tsaescerean Ethno-Nationalist Stalinist state, with its glorious solid concrete cube buildings and loudspeakers playing glorious songs of revolution in Tsaescerean/Romanian language. Ottomans and Huns need not apply.

I've been wanting to work on a PT duchy to play a vassal to another nation, with a Swiss Guard type unit for the bigger nation's monarch. That, or a Pirate Republic dedicated in the same way.

I just have nobody to do it with :(

Or a Steppe Horde or Shiekhdom.

I usually get about as far as designing a flag, coming up with a bunch of cool ideas, and then going nowhere with it.

Also, both of my flags are orange. ;) (For the Pyersai, it's a royal color because it was expensive, and for The Branriech, it's the national color for all of the Pyersai relics and ruins above ground that the region was known for)

Blue and White, to sybolize unity and order. The nation and a star for each region, and rays to symbolize The Confederacy as a bastion of civilization surrounded by inferior nations, while Blue is a color associated with Torsiedelle going back to the banner of The Crusader Kingdom of Rostov, and the colour of uniforms inspired by those of Prussian advisors to the Army of Rostov in the nineteenth century.

While there is a star for both Chechnya and Dagestan, both regions are joined into a single district unofficially. Torsiedelle still traces its roots to independent Crusader States established in Rostov and Stavropol by Greek, and later controlled by Russian, nobles.


Fun Fact: Torsiedelle would have only Christianity as a state religion (Islam is outlawed/persecuted, Judaism a minority), but Buddhism is also considered a national faith, thanks to Kalmykia. IRL, the Kalmyks are Buddhist, and Kalmykia is Europe's only Buddhist state :p

Kalmykia is also a big center for Chess.

This is why I have a wiki full of half-finished nations. Nobody will see them until they're done, dammit.
