No problem Vita, I will create one character instead: Name: Jaune Arc Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140504182233/rwby/images/thumb/d/de/JauneArcProfilePicture1.png/500px-JauneArcProfilePicture1.png) Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon Universe of Origin: RWBY Personality: Despite failing to look like he has a suave and ladies' man personality, he is actually kind hearted and means well. He treats all people equally and is outgoing, goofy and rarely shy. He also displays selflessness, having even defended the bully Cardin Winchester who had previously persuaded Jaune to do his dirty work for him, and is honourable, keeping true to his word due to his family motto to never go back on one's promise. As team leader of JNPR, despite having maybe the worst combat skills of the four, he feels a sense of responsibility for his friends of Team JNPR and Team RWBY. Despite usually being easily intimidated and scared, once the battle starts, Jaune's fears are replaced by his brash attitude, causing him to jump in headfirst without considering the risks. This causes him to be predictable when fighting, foregoing defense in favor of offense. Jaune's will remains strong even when outmatched by his opponents, especially when he is trying to protect someone or aid them in battle. During his fights, despite taking several highly-damaging attacks, Jaune keeps pressing on his opponents, refusing to let their assault intimidate him. This trait remains even during conversations with other people as Jaune never contradicts himself and can be harsh but always honest with answers. Abilities/Weapons: In the RWBY universe, people have what's called a semblance- the manifestation of one's innate and personal power as an ability, unique to each person. However Jaune has only recently unlocked his so no one is quite sure what his is, leading to a reluctancy to work on it, however it is believed to be protective and has been triggered but only on instinct. His weapons are more old-fashioned compared to the gun/melee weapon hybrid most students have as he only has a shield, which is large, white and have two golden arcs (one on top of the other) on the front in the centre (it can also shrink down to size when Jaune carries it however it still weighs the same xD) and Crocea Mors, his sword which he describes as a hand-me-down from his great, great grandfather who fought in the war. Both are extremely durable despite the age so he has great defence compared to his not so good offence. Backstory: Jaune comes from a lineage of huntsman and huntresses, however he had forged transcripts to get into Beacon Academy, one of the most prestigious combat schools in Vale. Over the years his training with his team has allowed his skills to develop over the time he has been at Beacon so now his swordsmanship has improved allowing him to carry on the tradition of become a huntsman. Using multi-verse travel he stays with his team and tries to be with other friends such as the members of Team RWBY as much as possible, however like his friends he strived to join the UMMA for the greater good of all universes. Faction: UMMA Side note: If Jaune Arc is accepted I would like to replace my previous character with him.

I updated [Ignace](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/74771/posts/ooc?page=2#post-2308173) backstory.

@Dead Cruiser: I mean more the extent of the abilities already in her bio. For example, to what extent can she manipulate the weather? @Gingerboi: Accepted! I can't edit the first post anymore so I won't be able to change the list. : ( @eemmt: Will look it over shortly.

I have made by changes to my previously posted characters, since I can't edit my previous posts when I post my third character I will also repost my two previous characters. I am not at home at the moment, so I can't post them yet.

@Vita Np, thank you

> @Dead Cruiser: I mean more the extent of the abilities already in her bio. For example, to what extent can she manipulate the weather? If you can give me specific questions like this, I can give you specific answers. Hopefully that will speed along the process. That said, she doesn't manipulate the weather to a great extent. The most she has been seen to do is manipulate weather patterns enough to induce rain on a regular basis in a smallish region. The furthest I could see this logically extending would be her, say, whipping up a thunderstorm in a localized area over a matter of hours.

Holy crap. My sig suddenly turned massive.

Well I've been mulling these other characters over for a while and decided to drop them here before the story kicks off. Name: Dio Brando Age: Around 150, but appears to be eternally in his early 20s. Gender: Male Appearance: [WRYYYYYYY](http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121205192744/jjba/images/9/9c/Dio_ASB.jpg) Canon, AU, or OC?: AU Universe of Origin: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Personality: Dio is known for being a manipulative and incredibly cunning megalomaniac, enough so to gather up Stand users from across the world to work for him against Jotaro and his group as they crossed the world to reach him in Egypt. Rather than the rash and violent persona he displayed while he was still human, Dio prefers to try and bring others to his side and work under him than go into an actual fight. However, those who are deemed loyal enough by him are also returned with his trust, as seen by his interactions with Enrico Pucci before the events of Part 3. He's also incredibly intelligent, which stems from his love of reading back from when he was human. Abilities/Weapons: After becoming a vampire, Dio gained strength that was unequivocally superhuman and increased the capabilities of his senses. Unlike other conventional vampires, Dio sucks blood from his victims via tentacles in his fingers; as his life force is sustained by blood, draining that of others allows him to regenerate at an immense rate. Being a vampire came at a cost, though; Dio has a glaring weakness to the sun and any attacks related thereof (such as the Hamon). After his escape, Dio lost the ability to produce any spores (such as the ones he used to control Kakyoin and Polnareff early in Part 3) and the power of his Stand, ['The World'](http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/The_World), was greatly weakened. Instead of being able to stop time for ~11 seconds as he was able to during the end of Part 3, it is instead lowered to roughly 1-2 seconds in a roughly 10m radius at most and is now only able to freeze nonsentient objects (such as knives and bullets). He is also unable to use the ability consecutively within the span of 3 minutes, during which his Stand's speed and strength drop (using the stat chart given to Stands as a reference, they go from A to C). However, while this restriction is not active 'The World' is able to attack using a barrage of punches with incredible force. His range has been lowered from A to D, as Dio can no longer easily sustain the strength necessary to send out his Stand much more than 10 meters now. The area on his forehead where Jotaro had managed to injure him also remains as a critical chink in his armor, which continues to aggravate him to no end. Though it looks to have recovered at a glance, his skull has regenerated as a thinner bone than it used to be. His brain has made a successful recovery to its original status before Jotaro's attack. As with all Stands, any damage done to 'The World' is also applied to Dio. However, due to the effects of the Multiverse (or something or another), all people (not just Stand users) are able to see 'The World' while it is active. Furthermore, usage of his Stand, as well as merely existing as a vampire, forces Dio to replenish his blood supply to sustain himself much more often than he used to. Backstory: Dio's story is a tad long, so I'll leave [this](http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Dio_Brando/History) link for anything prior. The stuff after here takes place near the end of Stardust Crusaders. Able to escape following his encounter with Jotaro Kujo, Dio found himself in a disadvantageous situation in the sewers underneath Cairo. Being chased down by Jotaro with nobody to regenerate off of, Dio could only struggle to move with half his head caved in. It was then that he was met by agents of Shadow Eternity. They offered him a chance to recover; a chance to prepare more powerful allies to defeat the Joestars with. Though he was internally incredibly livid at having to work under someone, in his current state he was in no position to argue and accepted the deal before being brought to the Multiverse. (As a result of this travel, the events that happen to Nijimura's father in part 4 do not occur and Holly Kujo does end up dying, as well as the events at the end of Part 6 and everything afterwards. The events of Part 6 (with Pucci's plans) do not occur.) Faction: Shadow Eternity Because there wasn't enough JoJo in this RP, obviously. Hopefully I've toned down Dio enough. I've tried to dart around any possible spoilers regarding him, just so anyone out there watching through Stardust Crusaders Part 2 won't want to rip my head off and stick it on a pike. Can't evade them all, though. As for the next... Name: Gintoki Sakata Age: ~20 Gender: Male Appearance: [Link](http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gintama/images/e/e8/Gin_Gintoki.png/revision/latest?cb=20140205032251) Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon Universe of Origin: Gintama Personality: Gintoki is a bit of a comedic character, oftentimes intentionally misinterpreting statements or questions for amusement. He's also incredibly lazy and a bit of a coward at times, though this is mostly during less serious events. Under this usual facade, however, is a person who was deeply hurt at his inability to protect his allies and friends during the Joui War. Though he has made a vow not to kill anymore, Gintoki, while under extreme emotional turmoil, won't hesitate to break that promise. He's also a dedicated worker when it comes down to it. When it comes to protecting people, Gintoki won't hesitate to jump to the aid of someone, be it a well-known friend or a person he's only just met. He also loves sweet foods and meat. Take that as you will. Abilities/Weapons: A highly skilled samurai who became famous due to his actions during the Joui War, Gintoki opts to use a wooden bokutou which was 'made from a ten thousand year old tree from another planet' with the words 'Lake Toya' engraved on the hilt. Whenever this ends up broken, he usually ends up just ordering a new one on the phone. Gintoki's swordsmanship is unorthodox and cannot be attributed to any single style, which makes fighting him even more annoying due to his ability to adapt to his opponent's abilities in the midst of combat. He also has abnormal strength and endurance, but he remains a human and, as such, is subject to fatigue in incredibly extended fights and injuries that would cripple humans in combat. Backstory: An orphan by the start of the Joui War, Gintoki was forced to scour the battlefields as a child to steal food off of dead soldiers. Eventually, he was found by his future mentor, Yoshida Shouyou, and was subsequently taught swordsmanship. When his master was captured, Gintoki (along with his fellow disciples Katsura Kotarou and Takasugi Shinsuke) joined the Joui War as combatants against the Bakufu. The war ended with failure, and Gintoki disappeared for a while. Eventually, he met Otose and formed the Old Yorozuya (which didn't take long to disband) and, subsequently, Yorozuya Gin-chan (both odd jobs companies) with Kagura and Shinpachi. After a series of events involving a deck of cards, twenty rolls of tape and a gallon of strawberry milk (don't ask), Gintoki and company found that a gate to the Multiverse had been opened inside their headquarters. Nowadays, Yorozuya Gin-chan accepts jobs from UMMA and their affiliated universes as a mercenary of sorts. Faction: UMMA Also using this chance to test out the formatting of the new posting system. It's... Weird.

@Dead Cruiser: Basically, go through her powers and tell me all that information about them. @PKMNB0Y: I am VERY shaky on allowing timestop of any kind. Gintoki seems fine though. When I get the main topic up we'll have everything moved to the characters tab and I'll be able to re-do the list.

Is there any way to tone it down to the point where it'd be acceptable? It's kinda hard for Dio to be Dio without his whole timestop schtick in part 3. Would setting it to like a 2m radius work? Or making it only affect objects and not characters?

All else fails you could always play Part 1 Dio. XD

Well yeah, but... Stands! :<

... Objects and not characters would be okay.

Then let me go add that right now, if that's all right.
