With a D Rank in Darkness the Aspect I gave you wasn't going to be that amazing, though there are still facets of the ability to be discovered (like most others). Now when you say, "full sized sword"...I'm having a bit of trouble picturing it now. I had imagined it to look a bit like a plague doctor mask, but with a straighter and narrower nose.

As for Geoffrey's CS, I did notice the spelling and grammar errors yes, but with backstory and character creation I am more concerned with whether or not it's coherent and fits with the setting I had in mind. In my experience, writing character backstory is different from actually RPing and if someone drops the ball after the actual RP starts I'll have a talk with them. You are a bit blunt, but your concern is appreciated.
