> funny thing is, before i caught up on ooc posts..... i was going to make a muscly guy who was completely blind, but found Lyoko to be amazing because he would be able to see in that world. Not sure how many of you read Brotherband, but I was gonna base his character on Ingvar, lol. Ingvar is practically a giant in the book even though he is young (and i believe they are around 15-16) he is incredibly strong but is a bit simple compared to others and he has terrible vision that keeps him from seeing anything but a blur, and that keeps him from doing a lot of things. I think that was the writer's way of leveling him out with the other characters. (If you didn't notice I highly recommend The Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband Chronicles, lol)

> Mind if I take the blind slot?
> though i may make him blind in the Lyoko world as well since it would still give him that challenge
Haha, awesome! I've read Ranger's Apprentice... but I don't own Halt's Demise, or any books beyond that.
As for the blind character, awesome! I would suggest them being able to see on Lyoko though... the challenge would be getting used to it. Or maybe not quiet "seeing". ;)
You also have to remember, Kadic Junior High is for especially gifted children. If your character is dumb, then they wouldn't even be accepted. And if they can't see, how can they possibly study? I actually have an idea for a blind character myself, but that character will not live at Kadic, and instead will be a homeless character, thus countering the conundrum of schooling.
Just make sure you think about your character quiet a bit before you start writing. You need to pretend your said character. Then remember what Kadic is, and make adjustments. A blind character would be a HUGE challenge, but awesome to RP! But, are the challenges so bad you might give up, or does it conflict with the logic of the world? I wouldn't mind if your character isn't part of Kadic, but you would have to understand that character will have less interaction at first, since we don't have anyone outside of Kadic for half of the day usually. I would suggest making two characters, since I have no limits to how many! I will, however, consider how many characters you have, and might only let one become a Lyoko Warrior. Just point me at the character you "Hope" to be a Lyoko Warrior if you make multiple.
EDIT: Oh, and I'd like to mention real quick, in the old RP, there was a character there that was average height. But, on Lyoko, he was taller than everyone else. Your Lyoko form may become drastically different than their real world counter-part, as it picks up on your personality, and not your physical form (Though some characteristics are picked out.) If you REALLY want a tall character, you can be tall on Lyoko! But no 6'5" stuff. I'll limit Lyoko Forms to be as tall as 6'0".
