[Torrocca]

He hasn't approved the re-app yet, unless I missed something?

I see..

Well, I can wait. I'm also Annexing Afghanistan so I have plenty of time.

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.)

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
(These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here, no more than 4 points in each skill or talent.

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
(You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities, no more than 4 in each. Sonic Scream, Levitation, 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: list wings. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed: list speed and give us its stop speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time. IMPORTANT: You need a knowledge in Specialized Skills and Talents in order to work these abilities. Example: you'll need "manipulate water" to do just that, and this section is where you record what water manipulation abilities the character has.)

  Weaknesses: This is not a fighting ability

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. Magical items have 7 points to spread among all of them. No items may be over 4 in power.)

BACKGROUND

Education or Training: Homeschooled

Character Background/Biography: I was raised in a small village in Japan. My dad had high expectations for me and enrolled in the best schools in the village. Eventually, it didn't meet his standards so I was Homeschooled from elementary. I couldn't fail him after one night seeing how hard he worked at a factory. I don't really remember what he worked as but it really inspired me to work harder as he is working for me. When I was 9, he told me to start practicing archery and gave me some books. The hard work was heavy,but I managed to succeed. He tutored me on Highschool math in middle school to which I would find out after graduating University. In my Highschool years, I would usually be either studying or practicing archery. Man, how I wish I could go back and thank him. Anyway, after University, I applied for the Navy I got acvepted but due to being a female and lack of experience and proper education, really only got to be a clerk at the naval office in Yokosuka. My house caught fire so I lived in an apartment for a while until well, I arrived here.


OTHER GAME MECHANICS

(What's the inside of their apartment look like. Note: no balconies, please.)

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.)


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. Determined woman who is greedy in terms of food. She is a keen Archer and a good companion. Though, she is rather shy at first.

You need to give characters actual goals. Minor goals support the main objective. Also, a personification of what?

I'd prefer it if you made an entirely new character. This one didn't work well in the setting.

[Cerillium]

Truth, you'll need to do some editing. "Cecile went over to the medical area. The rescue teams were doing just fine, and it was unlikely that she could get in further than the specialists, the people who could breathe fire and eat metal. Kneeling beside some of the injured, she went to patching them up, getting some basic first-aid supplies, and performing those procedures that required a great deal of anatomical understanding, but very little skill. She went around, stemming bleeding and the like, wrapping people in bandages and tying up arteries."

No medical area yet, and this group is the rescue team. There aren't any basic first-aid supplies, unless one of the characters had the foresight to carry them. Your characters are the first responders.

[Vanquaria]

Aight so Ill do a short time-skip for my character and hell group up with the rest in the Lobby

Okay, I understand. A lot of my characters would be really hard to add the fighting element to though. Is fighting mandatory?

Fighting isn't, but helping the war effort is. A war isn't just soldiers. Many characters are healers or morale coordinators or other jobs, with no ability to fight whatsoever.

Fighting is unnecessary, we have several non-combatant characters in our roster.

The issue here is forming a character that is rounded with room to develop and grow. Your previous app/character is left by herself and previous attempts in IC to try to get her to interact more was met with general lackluster effort on your part, and in the char, an overwhelming timidness that does nothing for her. Plainly, she would have been left behind and no one would recall who she as she'd be drowned out by posts alone. You'll also need to pay attention to details and ask for help in the OOC. We can't help what we don't know.

If you're going to re-app, I suggest making your character stand out to you, something that is appealing with ample room to grow. Think personality before skillset, think history before special skills, and special abilities (if any) before throwing it in as part of the character's persona.

Give yourself a character you can enjoy writing for.

Also, skip preexisting characters, especially if they're in current use somewhere. Come up with something fresh just for PL.

What works for PL? We're currently involved with battling foes to preserve the multiverse (many universes). This battle needs more than fighters. It needs people to support the fighters, to heal the wounded, to soothe the angry, to fix the machines, or to lend their talents in other ways. Characters should not be timid or painfully shy. Demens has chosen them because they stand out from everyone around them back home.

I have an old character I don't use anymore on a different RP site so I could introduce her here. I'll reapply soon.

I would seriously recommend coming up with a new character for PL. Preexisting characters often lack the long-term goals and adaptability necessary to do well in PL, especially if they were designed for non-sandbox RPs.

I've run out of time. My post is half-done. I'm going to have to pick up again tomorrow once I'm back home. (We're housesitting for my dad tonight and have to take off in a half hour.)

Sorry, PLeeps.

[Tiltjuice]

Don't rush, Swithers. *nodnods*

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Time to post!

Time to pull off some Berserk-grade Action with Tsu, i'm just kidding.

@Min, Tilt: a question about Charlie's Angels:

Immediately, two figures wheeled around each side of the T of the hallway in front of them and opened fire.

"X7!" Charlie shouted, no point in keeping quiet now. He took cover and pointed right. "That way, keep your heads up!"

Where is Charlie directing us to go? Into the right branch of the T, past the nice gentle-Xs who have the drop on us while we're silhouetted against the outside light, or someplace else to the right?

Up to them whether to charge the X7s or go with Charlie's idea.
