[OOC] Last Train Home--An 'Alternate World' Fantasy RP

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Noodles: Okay, gonna be a bit snarky here. Forgive me in advance, please.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.

Train.
Past.
Midnight.
Plus.
Child.
Under.
Age.

Look, I know that cultural and societal norms are a tad different in Japan compared to most Western countries, but I'm still fairly certain that riding a train past midnight is still really dangerous without justification in either country (read: escort home by relatives); either change the age or change the justification for being on the train to something a bit less... I dunno, contrived? The name suggests at least one parent with Western origins, so... Yeah.

Also, I'm not seeing someone wear that sorta outfit coming back from anywhere other than a con in this day and age. I recommend swapping that out if you can't find good enough justification, taking into account everything I've said until this point.

Like, no lie, those are essentially the only issues I have with the form. It's fine otherwise, but those two points need to be addressed.

@PKMNB0Y
Done, that new pic was the only one I could find from that anime, changed name & age also ~ But I won't mind changing it again if needed haha ^^"

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Noodles: I was about to comment on physical age before remembering that anime loves that disjoint between physical and actual age. A height would be nice, though.

Also, I wasn't saying that a Western name is bad, but that the character seemed to be of Western descent. Lack of a family name and all that.

@PKMNB0Y
Tweaked a bit more on my char, ~

[ERode]

Blam, pasted. Darius perhaps gives too little fucks.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Noodles: I think it's fine now. Accepted.

@ERode: Wow, you weren't kidding about the 'too little fucks' bit there.

[ERode]

His most prominent ability, after all, is to be confident even when he has no idea what he’s doing, because, hey, everything’s going to work out eventually.

Dimensional Shift is only his second power. His first is Cheat Code: YOLO.

[Zombehs]

Kir (Key-ur) Niwa

"Come on, we can talk things out right?"

"Guess not. Let's get on with it then."

Age: 18
Appearance: His appearance seems to come mostly from his father albeit with some blatant hints about his mixed heritage. Bright green eyes and rather soft facial features are framed by silvery grey hair. He's easily above average in height at 6'2 (1.88m) and has a solid build, even if he's more of the lean side of things. His skin is of a fair coloration and his body does bear some signs from years of varied swordplay.

Personality: While confident, the way Kir presents himself often makes him unassuming to others; as much as someone with his appearance can be. Soft spoken and content to remain quiet when unnecessary, he is not someone who values the spotlight role in social situations. His sense of right and wrong has been described as more prominent than others, and he won’t hesitate to interfere in the affairs of others.

Perhaps that is a result of his competitive nature when it comes to all things regarding physical prowess. Though he enjoys swordplay in its various forms the most, naturally competing in various tournaments, he does not shy away from other sports and endeavors. Lose or win, it’s the effort and experience that matters most to Kir.

Abilities: Plenty of experience in all manners of physical activities. An innate sense of direction that lets him get used to new locales quickly. The ability to stomach anything edible and some things that probably aren’t.

Native or Newcomer?: Newcomer.
Cheat: Blade of the Upstart: Time for that sport you’ve been practicing all your life to save your hide! The ability to turn almost anything into a weapon suited for Kir to wield. That stick on the side of the road? That spear the guard was holding just a moment ago? All suitable! There’s also the nifty side effect of naturally picking up on the techniques and expertise of those he studies. Real annoying for them, but awesome for Kir.

History: Privileged! Kir grew up in the lap of luxury with the freedom to choose between many pursuits. Despite his appearance, he chose to devote his time towards the sport of fencing and other similar practices. It was far from relaxing though, despite his apparent natural inclination. His parents allowed him a great deal of freedom to choose, but once the decision had been made pressed him to be the best. Which was fine of course. If he was going to do something, then he’d do it to the best of his ability.

Of course he still went to school, and all the stuff other people did, but without a doubt his “hobby” dominated much of his time. Returning from a casual night out with friends, it’s unfortunate that this midnight train is not bringing him home.

Other: Doesn’t have any trouble falling asleep even under extreme circumstances.

[Rin]

@ZombehsAaah, that cheat reminds me of Fate/Zero Berserker's Knight of Honour, which is fantastic really. XD

[ERode]

Wub wub time for Rakudai? XD

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Zombehs: Only possible problem is the cheat. How long does it take to 'learn' how to use a weapon within the context of the cheat?

[Zombehs]

@Rin I'd be surprised if it didn't lol.
@PKMNB0Y Stealing styles or techniques from an experienced practitioner would probably involve several matches/battles before he really manages to hijack their stuff for himself. Learning how to wield a weapon is more an instinctive thing that happens when he picks it up.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Zombehs: Hm...
Okay, I guess that works, then. Though obviously I'd rather the character not become a master of arms out of nowhere, so as long as that's not going to be an issue... Accepted.

[Rin]

Not sure if I'll be able to post tonight for reasons but will try and get my post up tomorrow hopefully.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

*shakes thread around*

Where is everyone today? It's only Tuesday, after all.
Like, I can understand being dead on Monday. Nobody likes Mondays. But Tuesday? Really?

[ERode]

What if Tuesday were the day before their finals? What then, P-boi.

[Rin]

Was busy on Tuesday and then I fell asleep really early and it's now Wednesday. ^^;

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@ERode: Then you post, realize you have finals the day after, then cry in a corner.

Then chug 5 cups of espresso and skip sleep to study. Somehow ace the final.

Yes. That's how this works, right?

[ERode]

@PKMNB0Y
Naw, it's more like cry in a corner, wonder what's wrong with yourself, and then, after some more self-reflection, decide that you don't care at all. Apathy takes over, and even though you know it's not alright, you decide to simply skip the midterm.

And thus, you embrace darkness, your old friend, once more.

[VitaVitaAR]

So Angelese is going to be very disapproving of all this.
