Name: Jaarm

Gender: Male.

Appearance: Jaarm is A bit shorter than most Goblins and his skin is the same light-green leaves have in spring.

Personality: If one of the Goblins is missing some small item chances are Jaarm took it, not because it's valuable or he doesn't like the previous owner but because of the challenge and he is generally happy to return his loot when confronted about it. He also believes it's the easiest way he can show off his special skill and remind the others that he is not just a runt and can be useful. In fact he suffers a bit from an inferiority complex because of his size. A bit of a coward, he prefers to make friends with stronger or braver Goblins willing to help him if his habit of stealing gets him in trouble. Of course as long as it doesn't involve fighting he is more than willing willing to return the favor and help out his friends if necessary.

Past Life History: In another world Jaarm was a streetrat in some third world country forced to steal in order to survive.

Skill: Jaarm is sneakier than most Goblins

Other: Huh, I wonder what should go here.

To you guys what do you think of my CS I really want in on this rp

I don't see any problems with it other than the fact that you call him Angelo outside of his personality and name.
It may be difficult RPing a lonewolf in a group rp, but it could lead to interesting conflicting mind sets.

Can't crack these eggs!
Actually, on second thought, please crack them.

I'm new to the dragon thing. If I understand correctly, the swirly magic eggs are new.

ha. Yes, please crack them.

Are they new? I'm new to it as well. I've only had them for a few days.

Ya, I asked a dude who's been doing this for years.

Apparently the swirly eggs just came out this week. That's why EVERYONE has them- to make them more common, they're showing up all over the place.

Yeah I Changed the name and I thought making a lone wolf rebel would be interesting against a group rp

I no longer feel special.

You never were...

The truth hurts.

@Moonlit Sonata

What are the restrictions on different types of custom magic (like if I think of my own type for my character, specifically)? How awesome/lame/cool/horrible/good/bad/moderate should it be?

Name: Garou

Gender: Male

Appearance: Pretty much indistinguishable from the others until Garou uses his skill. Then his, normally brown, left eye takes on a red coloration and glows faintly because chuuni-mode has been activated. His skin is more of a darker green tone. No hair of any sort though.

Personality: Quiet for a goblin, Garou isn't particularly intelligent though he does have the advantage of being quite observant. Not prone to acting quickly, he finds calm in being able to simply sit down and watch his surroundings for hours on end; it's debatable how much he actually picks up and contemplates on, but he's got the patience at the least.

While not particularly daring and though his arms may tremble, Garou shows remarkable resolve and will fight tooth and nail to the bitter end. Whenever possible though, he'll avoid confrontations head on and instead watch and test things out rather than risk his life.

Past Life History: Died fairly young as a result of being bedridden most of his life. To cope, chuunibyou and day dreams developed as a method to escape his day to day life. It seems to have paid off in this life, granting Garou one of the many abilities he used to dream and wonder what life would be like if he'd had it.

Skill: Eye of the Prince: Met with Slight Awe & Maybe Fear. So, it's not quite at the level that his past life dreamt of, Garou nonetheless possesses a formidable ability. By shutting his left eye and focusing, he's able to manifest the ability to freeze an enemy that meets his gaze. Against a single opponent this can prove invaluable in allowing his allies a much easier time to take it down given Garou is unable to move too much if he wishes to maintain the Skill; something like loosing an arrow is quite possible though. (Assuming that level of weaponry is reached.)

In addition, it only lasts as long as he can maintain eye contact, fades away after he blinks, and requires a bit of time before it can be used again. While effective against simple minded creatures, those that possess high intelligence or cunning/instinct are able to resist or even shatter the effect.

Other: Password? I am not Yamato Jesus? If Garou does dumb things he'll die?

Wah, sorry guys, I overslept~~~

@Jangel13, I'm not going to be super-strict on English standards, so you're fine. Just please try to avoid run-ons and capitalizing random words; those are pet peeves of mine, but I don't want to exclude you just on that basis.

@Meridian, it's nice; it's simple, but it get the job done. I will say though that if you have any apprehensions on what you want to use the Skill for that you're not sure about (seeing as you seem a bit unsure), you should PM me to clarify that it works. Remember, the Skill should be something that distinguishes you from the herd and lets you cut your own path, but that doesn't mean it needs to be "useful"; one that shapes your character like yours will mean you have the chance for different evolutions.

@ImpLaughs, you're good to go, though I wouldn't object to seeing a bit more detail on the more loyal side of him, and how it clashed with his standard state.

@OoTrillionoO, looks good, approved.

@Duthguy, a bit more depth on what he likes about the challenge of stealing would be nice. I'm not being the strictest on personality because of the nature of the RP, but just an extra sentence or two would really help.

@Hael, essentially, you won't start with any spells, you'll just start with a magic affinity, if you go that route. You'll be able to roughly channel your mana, and you'll have that affinity, which will allow you to create spells. The degree to which you're able to use magic proficiently will depend on your experience and ability with that. Also, Goblins themselves aren't a magically-inclined species, normally, so you'll be limited until at least your first evolution. I can't say a whole lot more, because a big part of this is you guys figuring out the mechanics on your own. Basically if you want magic, just pick an "affinity". Fire, Necromancy, Soul Attacks, Corruption, Absorption, Stagnation, it's up to you. If you have an affinity in mind and you're iffy on it, PM me.

@Zombehs, we've got our chuuni. It's time. Too bad Guild can't do ruby text. It's a different approach than the others, actually going for a power rather than an affinity, but that doesn't mean it's a bad approach. You're approved.

---

This goes without saying, but approved people can move their stuff to the Char tab.

@Moonlit Sonata

Don't worry I'll be better in the ic am I approved to move my CS into the character tab?

Alright, here he is. I noticed a lot of people were going for affinities too, so I tried to go with something a little more power-based. Wasn't sure what the limits were, so let me know if it needs tweaking.

-------------------------

Name:
Trek

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
He appears pretty much the same as any other goblin, with the exception of ever-so-slightly darker skin. He's got bright yellow eyes.

Personality:
Naturally he'd have been a pretty calm, quiet person; not being too fazed by a lot of things, probably a healthy amount of self-esteem, actually willing to participate in activities, the kind of "I'll only speak when I've got something to say" type, y'know. But, having that constant fear of spontaneous combustion just makes him (justifiably) really anxious and jittery. He firmly believes that it'll screw him over or outright kill him (not to mention it just being painful), and given that it can be triggered (for example, if he's more on-edge than usual, and something spooks him, he could light up), he doesn't like to do things. He doesn't want to hurt people (self-defense aside), or set fire to buildings, and he knows very well that he poses that danger. I guess to sum it up, he'd think "I could seriously hurt people, so I'd rather sit here and not take the chance." A little misguided, but his heart's in the right place.

Past Life History:
He was actually a pretty outgoing guy in his past life. Fire had always soothed him, there was just something mesmerizing about it. He loved camping, barbeques, beach bonfires at sundown, you name it. He was social, and often got friends together for those kinds of activities, though he was a bit of a straight arrow. Unfortunately, on his way to work one day, he was turning when his car was broadsided by a man who was speeding down the other road and tried to run the light. Both of them were killed in the crash.

Skill:
He's got a fire affinity, able to light himself on fire on command. Unfortunately, his degree of control is still rather weak, and this does actually burn him. He can only ignite his hands at will. Other parts of his body have proven to ignite as well, though he can't force it to happen. They're random, unintentional, and 99% of the time unwanted. The injuries to himself never seem to be horrible, so he must have at least a slight natural resistance as well, though they're obviously still unpleasant enough to cover up.

Other:
Will slowly become more burnt by his powers, and he'll start covering up the wounds in bandages.

@Moonlit Sonata Not sure what you mean with his loyal side clashing with his standard state. Do you mean how he was loyal in his past life? I didn't really want to add too much as all that truly matters is the explanation of the skill Voxx has.

Also, are you going to be making the first IC post for us to build upon?

@Moonlit Sonata

Don't worry I'll be better in the ic am I approved to move my CS into the character tab?

Yes, you may.

@Exodus
I'll have to say no to the bandages. That doesn't really fit in with the logic of the universe. How's a Goblin going to be born wearing bandages? Are they a part of him? It's weird. Also, like I said before, I don't want any links to the past life outside of the Skill. You can come out with some birthmarks that look like burns, and maybe something small (I was a little iffy on allowing an earring, but it wasn't a big deal so I let it slide), but not bandages.

On the personality, I'm not really getting a whole lot here. I get that he's on the edge (of glory), but that's about it. Explain a little bit more about how he thinks/acts/feels, please.

The Skill is fine, but

Other parts of his body have proven to ignite as well, though he can't force it to happen. They're random, unintentional, and 99% of the time unwanted.

Just FYI, every time you activate your power, I'll roll a 1d100 to decide if another random part lights up.

Other: He's got a high threshhold for pain at this point.

He doesn't, though. Remember what I said in the CS?

Considering you won't remember any of this, "growth" that occurred during your past life won't be present, hence why you're a blank slate. If you had a traumatic experience and became afraid of the dark, you won't have that trauma here. If you were born afraid of the dark, though, then you will.

So his pain tolerance is going to be reset. He's like a baby now. Nothing from his past life has been retained at all in that sense.

@Moonlit Sonata Not sure what you mean with his loyal side clashing with his standard state. Do you mean how he was loyal in his past life? I didn't really want to add too much as all that truly matters is the explanation of the skill Voxx has.

Also, are you going to be making the first IC post for us to build upon?

Well, he's a conniving, self-serving little bastard, right? The main thing I wanted to know is, if he's got his back against the wall, would he rather run and abandon people he's loyal to, or stick with them even in the face of a 99% chance of death. When the loyalty clashes with the selfishness, what wins out?

And yes, I will. We have a good crop of approved characters now, so I'll be making an IC introduction some time today.

I'd also like to declare at this time that we are full. If you haven't posted in either the Int Check or here prior to now, I'm sorry but I won't be letting you join. ;-;

Yaaay!

*realizes all I've done is describe my character's awesome appearance*

Nooo!

Mm, actually, I don't want to leave anyone behind unnecessarily, even if it's just a minor thing, so let's go with this.

Anyone who hasn't apped a character but has posted to say they will has the next 24 hours to do so before I start the IC. There are four of these people; you know who you are. Two of you are already in the character-building process, so I don't see this being an issue.

Being late to this won't mean you'll be disallowed from joining the RP; you'll just be younger than all your fellow RPers. If everyone has their characters apped and approved before 24 hours pass, then I'll post the IC early.

If you have real life complications, let me know and we'll try to work around them for you.

Let's all have fun together~

@Moonlit Sonata

I'll be done in an hour or two, if nothing unexpected happens (warning: my life is consistent entirely of unexpected happenings), so feel free to go ahead without me now.

I can't speak for the other 4, though.

I have added a bit to Jaarm's personality, hope it's okay now.
