oh ok then so no martial arts training? because I was going to have my Dr guy tai chi training mainly for spiritual aspects how it can extend life and such and have him use that knowledge with his medical background to allow him use his energy abilities help heal people and then the way he would fight is with his hands and feet.

I'm barfing these two here so I'm not caught breaking my own rules.
Okay myself and Co-GMs, let's get cracking! Following the rules, all three of us will fully examine each character app. If there is an issue, we point it out, and let them fix it until they can be accepted... unless the entire character is an issue, then they will have to make another character. Then, all three of us will vote like on American Idle, and only when all three of us accept an app, will they be allowed in the Characters section, and be allowed to post again.

Oh snap, we're going this far. Is bias towards my own creation accepted? XD No. Alright, I'll be just as hard on my own babies as the rest of you.

Alright, so do we have a checklist of what we need? Or are we just going to be using the rules as our checklist? Alright, so Pharaoh, the first thing you need to fix is the image size. Please put the really huge images into a hider. Otherwise you will be in direct conflict with application rule #5, and we cannot accept you. Am I the only one trying to do these right now, or are you doing this silently?

The rules as our checklist. Okay, a few things I'd like to say.... What is our definition of 'no weapons' or 'fighting'? Can our characters have had fighting skills, but forgot? Or have gotten into fights? Are they allowed to be trained in a weapon skill, but not own one? Are we counting our powers as 'weapons', or how do we handle them? I'm questing my own characters, mainly because Kassy has had to defend herself. Naoto, being a cop, has had training, and always carries a pistol on him. Not to mention both characters have gotten into a lot of fights. Ragna, your characters appear to have no problems. Kurano has had 'mob issues' before, but there are no mentions of him actually fighting back, or having anything that would come close to conflicting with the rules. Minami hasn't had any violence at all in her life. Kurano: 1/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. Minami: 1/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far.

Okay, here we go again. Kristof isn't a violent person, has no weapons, and follows all the rules. BUT. Are his muscles and shear size an issue? I personally love this character. But, are the rules so thin and undefined that I would have to deny him, even though he isn't an issue outside the rules? And, are his muscles considered to be part of the rules? I just noticed. Both of my character names line up. Both of Ragna's line up. Both of Pharoh's line up. Undecided: Kassy: 0/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 0/3 Votes so far. Naoto: 0/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 0/3 Votes so far. Kristof: 0/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 0/3 Votes so far. In Progress: Kurano: 1/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. Minami: 1/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. Denied: Rose: 0/3 Yes. 2/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. Alex: 0/3 Yes. 2/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. Accepted:

I'll just be editing this post with all of my app acceptations. With Kurano, his "mob issues" have never really been fights, but he has been beaten up by them and lost every time. He would loan money and not have enough to pay back, that sort of stuff. The only violence Minami's suffered would probably be verbal abuse if that counts as violence. Personally, my characters don't break any of the rules from what I see, and they feel enough like characters to be accepted. With the rules on fighting, it's that they couldn't have been trained by professionals how to fight, nor be fighting prodigy's. If they're scrappy back alley fighters, that's much more acceptable. They could have gotten into fights or scraps and won, but if they clearly are all powerful beings that can win ten on one fights without breaking a sweat, or people with over one hundred confirmed kills or something that's no good. I would allow people who know how to fight, but are mostly self-taught and don't have Rocky Balboa's insane amount of prowess. If they could beat up the biggest kid on their street, that's okay. If they beat the world champion boxer, that's not. Rocky was self-taught for the most part, but he had the drive and motivation clearly put out for us to see. With Rose, we haven't exactly seen her use any specific "Hunter" skills yet, so we don't know whether she is insanely OP or balanced.
So for me right now it goes. Kurano - accepted Minami - accepted Kristof - accepted Naoto - Accepted Kassy - accepted, would be nice if some things in the bio were a bit more explained. Rose - Denied Alex - Denied The One's Characters - Denied Pharaoh has yet to comply to application rule 5 for me to try and accept or deny. The One has not done anything yet regarding changes, and must first delete characters off of the character's tab and post them here. Should we have a time limit on fixing characters, and notify those people who have not done it yet, and tell them about the time limit? Because the only two left are Pharaoh and The One for me. I say no to both the Pharaoh's and The One's until certain rules are adhered to.

Let us look at Kassy here, a few questions come to my mind. First of, what kind of people just disown a child whom they took into foster care for something she couldn't control? Despicable. Now, I don't know too much about fourth dimensional powers, but I would consider it a science! Not, "magic" And as an added, how does Kassy protect herself during this coma? Essentially she became unconscious, and was moved to a hospital where she spent an arbitrary number of years there, her emotional growth and maturity would likely be stunted from such an occurrence. What made her interested in this convention? ^ Those were really cherry picked by the way. As for Naoto, I think everything appears in order for him. And I assume that he took part in a procedure in order to gain his power. One thing that needs to be stated, there should certainly be a logical reason for every single character to be where they are, and doing what they are doing. Plain and simple. I think, in terms of Kristof's muscles, it would be unfair to deny. The problem would be that, are we to say that there are no men like Kristof? Even stronger still, I'd say that a relevant back story must explain any extraordinary talents or abilities. The bottom line is logical sense.

I would allow people who know how to fight, but are mostly self-taught and don't have Rocky Balboa's insane amount of prowess. If they could beat up the biggest kid on their street, that's okay. If they beat the world champion boxer, that's not. For Kristof, his bio is near perfection, and he really doesn't violate any rules in most regards but one. That is the fact that because he's a strongman, he will be inherently strong. Whether it's suplexing a train strong, or just lifting a 400 lb. weight strong makes a difference. I count him as accepted so long as his strength has clearly set limits, and you don't change those limits whenever you want them to fit the occasion.
And that is certainly part of it, Kristof has no fighting prowess, no talent in the field to speak of, in fact, it is a likely guess that he hasn't been in a fight his entire life. Does that rule out the idea that he can be very fit? I think not. And do not worry, the whole suplexing a train thing was facetious, which I'm sure you could tell. Lets talk about Minami for a moment. I get her story, and it all is well put. But, and it may just be my opinion, I find it a bit difficult to understand such young characters. She ran away from an abusive home, understandable. I'm curious though, has she simply wandered into the convention? Was this her first day away, or has she been living in such a way for a while, in that case, I'm surprised nothing horribly advantageous has happened to her. And, I'm not sure how much an eleven year old would understand about such a life. It almost saddens me to think that she could die of starvation. That is more than a nit pick with some questions I'm interested in the answers to. As for Kurano, I assumed that he simply is interested in the future of such technology, and seeing as he inherited the power of sound he is probably curious, that is a likely reason for anyone to want to go to the convention. Of course that is just speculation.

Right Ragna. That sounds about right. YES fighting, but no 100 confirmed kill shnaz. The way you've explained it makes perfect sense. So, then, here's a few more things. Naoto is professionally trained as a cop... but is that bad? Kassy has gotten into situations, but isn't trained... she's more lucky than anything. In that case, Rose is self taught, and weapon-wise doesn't appear to be breaking the rules in that respect. Though, technically she only has one paragraph written for her character, since everything is all jumbled together. Alex's character appears to have a huge hatred towards the monsters, and is creating weapons and putting all of his knowledge specifically towards fighting these beasts. Plus he has weapons and gear. Now, refreshed the page and read Unraveller's post. "First of, what kind of people just disown a child whom they took into foster care for something she couldn't control? Despicable." Bloody evil people mind you. Plus, a lot of people in Japan disown children just because they're girls. As for Kassy's powers, I'm seeing what you mean. How she protected herself? I was kind of thinking it was her own body acting in ways, like being prodded, or unplugged would set off her powers since her body would know she was being 'shut off'. She did become unconscious, and she has been stunted in those respects. Though, I honestly forgot about that happening to her until I reposted her app... which is why she may have acted more mature when I RPed her, because I forgot right after I made her. xD. Interested? That was posted IC. She was hungry, and decided she couldn't find food anywhere else. Being as young as she is, she thought she might be able to outsmart the cops and get some food before she was caught, then slip away. As for Naoto, IDK how he got his powers. Either inherited from his parents, or through the procedure. I don't think that part really matters though. In my own opinion of course. Muscles!? No one in our world has muscles! Perfect! We are defining rules here people. No fighting prowess, or talent, I believe is enough for him to be acceptable with such muscles. Plus, it's not nearly as OP as anything else could be. Back to Naoto. He has a gun! And training! I'm not sure about him anymore. Though, you did say if they were explained in a logical sense (And still not being OVERLY powerful), it would be okay, which I agree with. Read what Ragna just edited. Edit wars. Yes, I understand. I will edit the bio to explain more of these questions, as I do believe they are important. I might have thought of them, but never explained them, but everyone needs to be clear of what to expect from her. Plus, after writing it, it will help me RP her more clearly in the future. *Notices another edit from Ragna* Perhaps they should have a limit. I'm not sure when though. It would have to either be tonight... which is a bit short... or sometime later tomorrow. I wouldn't be home until after 3PM tomorrow though, as I have flights. Undecided: In Progress: Kurano: 2/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna say Yes.) Minami: 2/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna say Yes.) Kassy: 2/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far.

I'll still only be editing that post up there for acceptations unless this moves onto another page. So check up there for my opinions. Also, the limit for today works so long as we notify them through PM. That way we can fairly say whether they're accepted or not.

After these edits I'd like to change the list to something like this. I shall look over Rose and get back to you. About Naoto, we have to keep in mind, it makes perfect sense for the man to be strongly built. He is in fact a police man, thus a gun isn't very far fetched either. However I seriously doubt that police training includes the fourth dimensional beasts. And a dinky handgun? What is that really gonna do? Which brings me to something else, I'd like to hear more about the beasts. How long have they been appearing for? Perhaps a little exposition into their origin, save the really juicy stuff for us to learn IC though! I'm sorry, what with your poor writing skills it is rather hard to read most of your walls of text. Pharaoh, do you think you could put more effort into this respect? Communication is number one here, and if I can't understand exactly what you are trying to say then a ton of important details can be lost. In Progress: Minami: 2/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna say Yes.) I'll change mine to yes after I hear a little more insight as to her character and such. Denied: Rose: 0/3 Yes. 1/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. (Tek says No, because of the rule violation) Alex: 0/3 Yes. 1/3 No. 1/3 Votes so far. (Tek says No, because of the rule violation) Accepted: Kristof: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Kurano: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Kassy: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Naoto: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.)

Here are the apps again, with the changes made. I just noticed it specified American couple... who where nice... oops. I've bolded the changes done to KASSY's bio.

I think that was a mistake. I think he meant Rose... at least that's what I hope me meant. If he points something else out though, I'd like to hear.

Me too, it would be nice to know if I did something wrong with Minami. I feel like Lavulman right now. XD With Pharaoh, when reading his bio, I thought it was a work in progress and didn't mind the punctuation mistakes or grammar problems because I thought he was going to revise it. When he got to actually posting though that's when I said "okay, we might need to address this if it gets bad to the point where I seriously misinterpret a word.

Right! Derp! I thought I've explained that! Of course, here's the key word: Thought. I love learning through IC, but things that have already happened are really important. I actually meant to have a convention stand talking about what they already know about them... but somehow that must have been missed. They have been appearing for most of the time the technology has been invented. No right away, but pretty soon after it's discovery, as the entire globe flocked like gnats (Is that a saying?) to use this new technology. They seemed to slowly start appearing after people messed with their powers. Although the exact locations appeared to be random, they actually happen because of the powers, and mostly where there are massive usage involving these powers. So, for how long? I'd think about forty years. Where? Anywhere people have these powers! As for where they came from... this is a very hard concept I'm still working on. I have a bunch of ideas, and all of which are equally cool! Though, I think I'm going to go with the one that makes the most logical sense, which is powerful enough to scare people into never wanting to mess with the fourth dimension in real life. For fear of bringing them through. If you still want me to spoil their origin, I can give it. But only if you ask for it. And if only some of you want to know, I can send you a PM.

No spoilage please, I just don't think I can RP Kristof's reaction to such things as well as I could If I already know. You feel me? I discourage this kind of metagaming in my D&D sessions all the time.
