@Petulant and myself have agreed that we don't mind this CS.

We both have a question for you though, @Warborn123, If your character is Deaf, how will the rest of the cast communicate with her? It's highly likely that most people in the cast don't know Sign Language after all.

When you answer them @Warborn123, can you also specify more closely what her "Immunity" entails?

For the record, I don't have a lot against cliché character traits, or backstories, or abilities. But it reaches a point where it is too much at once xD
And like you said, if you can play it off nicely, then there really isn't a problem.

@The Jest It's possible to communicate without a language, someone could write stuff on a piece of paper or mime out a action, Vivian can still talk aswell, also if one person knows sign language its possible for that person to act as a interpreter.

@Windstormugly by immunity I mean anything that relies on sound, for an example if a Angel had a spell that kills people via loud noises, Vivian would be too deaf to be affected because she can't hear. if something relies on a person's hearing to work, it simply won't because Vivian can't hear anything.

I have a question, what do you expect my character to do that is so cliche and dull, I want to know so I don't do that.

You could use your music to express yourself as well as understand others ;)

Regarding the char, it isn't that I expect you to do something so much as the char itself being cliché. (This is not bad in itself, and if you put it the hard way every char will be cliché and trope-made.) The important thing is not to be defined solely by the cliché and sometimes cringe backstory and personality. But to let it grow and take on its own tweak of the cliché.

Now then, that Immunity:
Your last example works well. Say a siren's call.
But abilities/spells that relies on sound are not so black and white. A strong sound will damage you whether you hear it or not, as will sounds meant to disrupt your balance, or meant to vibrate your brain into mush. And magic manifested by sound or traveling on sound won't be hindered by your inability to hear it.

@Windstormugly Thing about cliche is, it may be overused and unoriginal to you cause you have seen many other characters like that but to the person building that character, a person who doesn't watch anime or RP in general, it may be entirely new to him.

Also, I like to build my characters around my powers. Can I have that Obito Uchiha power that makes him intangible while using his Kamui? SO basically he teleports his body to another dimension and nothing in this world can affect him. So my dimension would be the Shadow Plane. His sheer willpower keeps the creatures on that plane from taking his soul and although he can't see them he can sense them and feel their gaze pierce through him from every angle. His emotionless attitude keeps him hidden from the bigger part of the resident devourers of that realm but there are a few who have marked him and keep on following him everywhere, waiting for an opportunity when he ultimately slips. The longer he stays there the harder it is to keep them away.

He can also open the portal and drag someone through to that dimension and leave them there. Besides the creatures that are there, the plane itself is gradually transforming him. The more time he spends there the more his soul corrupts giving him additional powers from that plane but the time he can spend there with his will shield on gets dramatically reduced as, like I mentioned above, his soul loses it's initial form and so does the will power. He can recover but veeeeeery slowly.

When he comes out of the plane he leaks a shadow essence for some time, a mark that the plane has left on him. He can open small portals with his finger effectively writing with shadows and doing other creative things.

Tropes and clichés are not exclusive to anime and RPs, originality is long dead and unless you live in a vacuum you have likely been exposed to a fair amount by your teenage years. Books, tv-series, cartoons, comics, movies, even anecdotes told by people from their Real Lives are tropes and clichés. It's all about standard settings or often-happening situations and personalities built from obvious pasts.
And as I said, that's fine, what matters is that your char grows into their cliché with their own tweak to it, a fitting reasonale for themselves adhering to the setting and some matter of self-awareness.

Regarding your char-idea, I believe some kind of such can be reached, do put the char up and we'll look it over. This world does have a fair amount of lore and rules that will affect how and what works.

I think you might want to not go with that as a power. Not just because the thought of anyone having Obito's Kamui powers to be intangible is the kind of thing that frankly makes my eye twitch in disturbance, but because I specifically stated that "Time/Space powers are forbidden." Kamui's abilities, especially as you mentioned, are ultimately Spacial power to a combative level, and while I tolerate "Space" more than I do "Time" (Which, for the record, unless you have some original method of using Time that doesn't involve direct manipulation of its flow, I will never allow, EVER.) the powers of Obito is something I can't abide by.

...At least in terms of using it to become intangible to the physical realm around you. I understand the weaknesses of Kamui (I did see the fight after all) but I feel it is still too circumstantial to put into proper effect in an RP.

Now, being able to enter a shadow realm, by itself, is a different story. Mostly because I know the PERFECT place to use as the Shadow realm that he enter. There are also another effect you might want to consider using in that respect, perhaps to replace the intangible part, more specifically, maybe opening a portal and letting a Shadow beast or two run loose in the physical realm. I'll have to talk with my partners more about it though.

In other words, Take out the "Intangible/Kamui" effects, and just let this shadow realm and the ability to open a portal into it be your power, and make the CS. ^_^

Ok, slight change of plans:

I have the IC almost done, and will likely have it done and ready by tomorrow. (Might be a little later due to personal errands I have to run tomorrow.)

Therefore @Bishop does not post his CS within...Let's say 26 hours as oppose to 24, or just whenever i come back on that's later than the time I'm on right now because, again, errands tomorrow, I'm posting the IC and we'll get started on this riot show.

For the record: It's ok if it's a WIP, right now, I just need something posted.

Name: Amon Deus
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: (Can be an image of any kind, or a description)
Desire: Escape away from this world, go somewhere where the angels can't reach him but he also desires for them to feel despair for all they did to him.
Ability: Can open portals to the plain of shadows and move between it and this plane freely.
Weapon: Metal strings
Personality: Before he saw the corpse he was a cheerful person. The brave one of the lot. He always went to the front and lead the others. After he awoke he saw that all that he was had been a facade forced down his throat to carry around wherever he went. He buckled to the ground and threw up. The thought of not being himself all those years, forced to pretend, fueled a deep anger inside him, anger towards the angels, anger towards the world.

Seems fine enough. I'll PM you my idea as to WHERE exactly he goes when I can. In the meantime, please Copy paste this to the Character section.

As I promised, the IC is ready. I need to do a few more things before I get it posted, but mark my words: It WILL be posted today/tonight!
