@BenG85

Posted a character, awaiting approval/suggested corrections.

for the benefit of others, my sheet is just an expansion on the basic Shaman King Character File, such as this:

[Agunimon]

My character is progressing well, worked out a solid idea and just finishing up some things including the hardest part: choosing names. Will be up before the weekend.

[Duthguy]

Character name: Jarrah Ahmat
Age: 28

Star Sign: Leo
Blood Type: O+

Spirit Allies: A dingo spirit known as Gaiya and Coen the spirit of an aboriginal warrior and Jarrah's ancestor
Medium: A dingo tooth necklace and a boomerang
Oversouls: By inserting Gaiya into the tooth the spirit manifests in the form of a floating dingo head with an oversized mouth and fangs attached to Jarrah by 6 foot long "rope", in this form Gaiya can't really move on his own but he can still bite so Jarrah uses the rope to swing him around.

Coen's oversoul looks like a series of glowing balls covering the boomerang used as his medium and allows him to create small rudimentary versions of his limbs made up of the balls from the points, one on each side. This allows him among other things slightly alter it's flightpath or run back to Jarrha after hitting himself and thus falling to the ground. He can't launch himself into the air though

Background: Jarrah was taught the basics of being a shaman by his grandfather who also used Coen as a Guardian Spirit and entrusted the ghost warrior to him upon his own death. For his dayjob he is an electrician though when not busy with his job or his duty as a shaman he often helps out in the local museum and tells aboriginal myths and legends which both his grandparents used to do.

Having learned about what is going through the Dreaming he has decided to leave Australia for the time being and join the Darkstars to put a stop to it

Here's a fun concept- an American cartomancer (someone who practices divination with cards as their medium; pretty much anything that ends in "-mancy/er" has to do with divination) whose spirit allie is non other than the ghost of Harry Houdini XD

(It's an ironic gag; in his later years he was fooled by a fake Medium, found out, and started making a career of finding and exposing fraudsters in this field)

@TheNoCoKid
I have to admit that Pyrus' skinwalking sounds a lot like an Oversoul I had in mind for Gaiya and Jarrah, which involves Jarrah wearing a dingo pelt and creating a werewolf themed oversoul after inserting Gaiya. If I go that route, which I might not, I'll simply have it be in universe based on that skill

[RickyG85]

Joco made his own body, as well as claw jewelry the medium for his oversouls; one character even referred to it as an "advanced technique". With sufficient skill/training, I could imagine more characters doing something like it, no problem.

@BenG85

I was planning something more like Jarrah wearing the pelt and the oversoul covering his body rather than him transforming, in other words a potential late game armor oversoul

[RickyG85]

Ah, I see!

[Agunimon]

Ah, seems I was last to post a sheet but it's complete now. Our only female too, which hopefully rounds off the cast nicely. There is a good spread already.

@TheNoCoKid So we await your approval on the characters, and once received we can get posting, correct?

[RickyG85]

Didn't the boss say seirei was off limits, though?

I like the look of the character, and the background, I feel, is good too. Look forward to learning a bit more about her cultural distinctions as a shaman

@BenG85

I said kami (god class) was off limits to start. Seirei is just an ascended form of a basic spirit so it passes. Also, all characters have been approved. Start the RP, ladies and gents!

[RickyG85]

Ah, I misremembered! XD

[Agunimon]

Excellent, then I'll get started on a post in the morn'.

And thank you Ben. I think we have a good mix of interesting characters so we will see how everything plays out.

[RickyG85]

I'll be making a post in the next couple days!

[Duthguy]

Should I wait for others to post or am I free to have Jarrah arrive at the Patch?

[RisingRobin]

Go ahead

[RickyG85]

I apologize, but something has come up and I need to bow out.
