@Black Alice

The age can't be several thousand years old, there's no reason for her to be in a school at that point. 14-18 please. My only other concern is the "superhero alter ego"
Do you mean she pretends to be a superhero and dresses up or that she actually is a superhero? She can't be an actual superhero, this isn't that type of RP.

The hordes of ghosts within her body is an interesting concept, I like it. But just for clarification, does this equate to her only having a bunch of inner voices within her and she herself is just a ghost?

@Pyromania99
Let me know if my appearance is still busted, I think I fixed it. I may just go direct link if it drops again.

Somehow I get the feeling we might have a shortage of male non-humans at this school.

Not that I'm complaining, but still,. :P


I was gonna make a male hooman anyway, but now I think I'll hold them hostage until someone else makes one too >:D

<Snipped quote by KaiserElectric>

Don't ask me to make a male. . . I just can't. . . XD


Yes you can, you just don't want to. Don't lie to us, Pyro :P

1. You were VERY clear that this is the first school catering to non-human/mythical beings to exist. Using this with the fact that she died a child, logically, it makes sense that she would be attending school now that there's one for her to attend. Using human metrics to determine age on beings that are clearly beyond human biology is not effective. That's why her age is "N/A", because regardless of if she has "existed" for several thousand years, she is still not really several thousand years old, maturity-wise. She doesn't have a real physical body. She's a ghost.

2. The former. It is more for use as a gag, rather than for plot-oriented reasons.

3. She is, functionally, "just a ghost". Although, she is pretty strong for a ghost, due to her spiritual strength as a human. It doesn't give her incredible world-busting lich powers, it's more like having a bunch of ghost buddies chillin' inside of you. Good for one-man poker nights.

EDIT: Hi @Turboshitter! Nice to see you around.

I made a spook.

Name: Iosef Talabar

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Race: Hobgoblin - Hobgoblin Race - Hobgoblins are renowned for their expertise with fire, or more specifically, what they can make with it. As coined by their "favorite creatures", the Humans, Hobgoblins are great cooks and ironsmiths, and specialize in various steels from just about every kind of metal you toss at them. This puts them at odds with a few other races (or, did, in the dwarves' case; you don't see too many of those little ones any more) for who is the best craftsman, but considering the Hobs (for short) just got their distinction from the rest of their ilk not too long ago, it isn't surprising to say that the Hobs were given the benefit of the doubt when their blacksmiths opened up. Like orcs, they love to use lamellar designs, as they're light, maneuverable, and protective for all their troubles, using as little steel as possible (because from where the goblinoids originated, most iron was refined via iron sand. Large chunks of ore were unheard of.) Their skin tones, unlike those of their greenish-yellowish-rainbowish colored brethren, are always shades of grey, and are a lot more matte because of their hygenic nature. They have eyes the color of gold, amber, and ruby, and stand about the same height as humans, as well as stand in the same weight range. Rumors say that the hobs have a bit o' man blood in them, which might be true, considering there's also a million hues of half-hobs half-men and whatnot running around the world...or well, wherever he came from.

Appearance: As a child of a succubus and a hobgoblin, Iosef inherits a mix of qualities thought usually exclusive to his respective heritages. Through his father, Iosef retains a powerful build within his small 5'6 frame, and also keeps his coal-grey complexion. Unlike his father, though, he has quite the desirable face of that of a near-effeminine boy (think soft, pouty lips, a small, but pronounced chin, etc.), and has full, luscious, onyx-black hair that will bald much later than most others' do. He weighs only an average 117 lb., though each pound is well defined in the taut muscles he has. He has amber irises and a very slight almond shape to his eyes.

Personality:

Most of the time, Iosef is a mellow, lax individual that takes both successes and failures in stride...or so some may think. In reality, he's every part perfectionist his father was with just about everything, be it studies, work, or even in play. Though he isn't going to impose on people, he does get genuinely upset at people who are a little too lax for his tastes.

By the definition of upset, it includes tirades, insults, and on the extremes, threats and violence.

Quirks: I'll show them from time to time inside the RP. As a child of a succubus and a hobgob, it's not hard to imagine what he might do.

The CS is also VERY clear that the age is between 14-18, and it would be impossible to remain a child mentally if you exist for several thousand years. Plus, the concept of having several ghosts within her body and she learns nothing from them in the thousand years they're in there also removes that "logic".
So let me rephrase: Make your age 14-18 please.

@BytheSpleen
So far so good, but I'll hold off the final decision until you finish the sheet.

Can you cite your sources for this? I seem to have missed that part when I was taking Necromancy in high school.

Assuming your character has had any form of interaction with anyone at all, ghosts or otherwise, she would learn something. To remain a child mentality after a thousand years of life would require your character to have never asked the question of why, or learn anything of consequence about emotion, life, other people, or social activities. Merely existing would require her to grow and adapt, this is basic psychology, and while you mention using human terms for non-human beings, she is fundamentally a human in terms of mindset if she was human once.

So, I'll say it again: Change her age.

@BytheSpleen

Most ghosts, who have been her primary company with very few human interactions, are really stuck in the past in terms of their ways of thinking. Child ghosts, even from decades or centuries past, still act entirely like they did when they first "died". To begin with, the essence of being a ghost is of being "attached to the world, but not belonging to it".

You say that she would "have to" grow and adapt, but that's just straight up wrong. Growth and adaptation are triggered due to a need to progress, due to adversity, or due to willpower to succeed. Ghosts experience none of this. There is no consequence for anything they do, they have no desire to move forwards or accomplish real goals. They're just shadows on a screen, remnants, imprints of a once-living soul left on the world, doomed to wander for an eternity or until they cease thinking. Whichever comes first.

You are saying that in a picture of a small girl, she should age over time. You are applying the psychology of living things to something that is not living. Do you see why you're wrong?

Alright. Let me rephrase yet again: I'm sorry, but your character is rejected, as you are unwilling to make the changes I said, and are instead choosing to argue with me.

If you're going to start trying to justify yourself, and then stop once the other person brings their points up for discussion, why even start. I find your rejection arbitrary, but it's your thread, so it's not a big deal. The problem is that you could have just said "Your sheet is denied because I say so" and I would have accepted it, but you chose to try to present it logically, which is why I tried to debate you logically in the first place.

I'm not arguing, you're just not being reasonable.

I just thought that his idea of a ghost was different from yours. Age is just a number, anyways. :<

The guys currently outnumber the girls, I'm starting to think you just want a sausage fest up in here, or a harem. That's it isn't it. You want a harem of mythical men.
I will be making another human soon as well.

Pretty sure there's an anime about that


Guaranteed.
