[quote=@Cherrywitch] I don't know if I have to get it approved again or not, so... [hider=Eli, The Lightning Serpent] [center][h3][color=gold]"Heads I win, tails you lose!"[/color][/h3][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Eli Longuefellow "The Lightning Serpent" [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Birthday:[/b] February 18 [b]Magic:[/b] Electricity. Uses [url=http://www.images-apmex.com/images/Catalog%20Images/Products/74564_Slab.jpg?v=20130101120000&width=900&height=900]specialized coins[/url] to manipulate the power into specific spells. Coins, after being used, take two hours to recharge and be able to be used again. [list][*]Single Shot— Uses one coin. Sends a burst of electricity in a straight line at opponent. Can be used without coins, but effectiveness is halved. [*]Charged Shot— Uses one coin. Similar to single shot, but uses more energy. Attack is increased two-fold, but always requires coins. Takes a longer time to charge up the attack than Single Shot. [*]Multi-Shot— Uses three to five coins. Can send out a burst if electricity in a straight line from the direction one of the coins is aimed in. [*]Barrier— Uses two coins. Sets a coin from one end to another and a field of electricity spans between them. [*]Circle Formation— Uses eight coins. Creates a circle around target(s) and electrifies everyone inside the circle. [*]Lightning Serpent— Signature move. Uses all coins in his possession to form a sentient string of electrical currents that he controls. If even one of the coins is damaged, he will become severely hurt and the serpent with burst into little flickers of electricity. Until a coin is destroyed, the serpent will attack anyone or thing deemed an enemy, and will do it's very best to protect its coins by sending out counterattacks at any incoming spells. [*]Last Resort— Just as it sounds. When all coins are gone, Eli can burst into electricity. He can use this either to increase his speed and escape in a bolt of lightning, or use this electricity to attack the perimeter around him. After the spell is cast, he becomes completely weak because he has used the last of his magic, and will collapse on the floor with little sparks of electrical currents still going through him. He will be unable to move for at least half a day.[/list] [b]Magic Level:[/b] Without his coins, Eli barely makes level C. But with them, he is firmly in Level B. [b]History:[/b] Eli, like many other children, was a captive at the Tower of Heaven. But not because he was captured. His mother and father were unbelievably poor, and the tower promised them safety and a new world where they could survive, even thrive. So, they sold Eli to the tower in exchange for their new lives. As soon as he could when this redhead, Erza Scarlet, busted people out of the tower, Eli raced out. When he returned to his parents, they thought he was insane and had cursed them for leaving, and so they tried to shock him to make him sane. But the electricity didn't listen to the power switch anymore. Eli claims to have forgotten the rest of the story, but when going back, the small hut his family had lived in was electrically burnt to a crisp. Today, Eli spends his time stealing whatever he needs or wants, and hiding away from people, as no one can be trusted. [b]Personality:[/b] Eli has severe trust issues. He is highly sarcastic and rude to everyone, as well as vain, self-absorbed, and playful, only caring for himself because "no one else is going to take care of me." Eli believes he is the only one who he can trust, and that everyone else is just a pain in his ass. [b]Guild and guild mark location:[/b]None. He is a street rat. Thief. [b]Team Members:[/b] "HA! That'll be the day!" [b]Three Strengths:[/b] 1. One of the best thieves around! He can swipe most anything and not get caught. If he is noticed, he always gets away with it. 2. He is very agile, with high reflexes. 3. Eli is very good at talking his way out of things, due to this strange charm he has on people. [b]Three Weaknesses:[/b] 1. Not physically strong. Any attacks on him hit hard, which is why he has to avoid them or block them with lightning. 2. Eli is easily intimidated. One scary look and he's pleading for his life. 3. Without his coins, Eli is essentially defenseless. The coins help him concentrate the erratic electricity he contains, to make precise attacks rather than just small little sparks all over the place. [b]Greatest Love:[/b] "Why, stealing, of course~" [b]Motivation:[/b] "Hey, I'm just trying to survive, here, like anyone else."

I have a character image similar to that one for two characters (long story) that are already in. Like so: [img]http://i.imgur.com/sMd3SMi.png[/img] Edit: And...er sorry to poke holes in your CS, but the history section does not work at all. Read the first OOC post, it will tell you one reason why. The other problem is how he "attained" his power. Most mages are either born with the ability to use magic, use an artifact that has been enchanted with magic, or aquire it through intense training. Also, unfortunately in this world [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightningCanDoAnything]this trope[/url] does not apply. Besides that I don't understand why they would uh...shock him because they thought him insane...after they essentially sold him into slavery. Whaaa...?
