I apolgize for the delay. Apparently, I did indeed have to go to the banquet, and it turned into an impromptu overnight stay. I'll finish my sheet and get it posted now.

Real Name: Yeshua ben Abraham

Age: Sixteen

Gender: Male

Appearance: Yeshua ben Abraham stands at five feet two inches tall, and weighs one hundred and twenty two pounds. Due to his parents being of Israeli descent, Yeshua has the classic olive skin associated with the Middle East. His black hair and brown eyes also stem from his heritage. Said hair is always unkempt and rarely brushed. Yeshua’s brown eyes are always sparkling with the joy and carefree behavior he has become associated with. Interestingly enough, Yeshua is missing the first half of his left foot’s pinky toe; he lost that toe trying to crawl through some barbed wire as a child. Because of this, Yeshua always wears socks, only ever changing them when he’s sure he’s alone. Yeshua’s parents have kept Yeshua on a strict Jewish diet for as long as he can remember which has brought about the lack of fat on the boy’s body. He also, however, has a distinct lack of muscle.

Personality: Yeshua has been called many things in his life. Some have called him lazy, irresponsible, and irritating. Others say that he’s compassionate, joyful, and full of life. All of these names hold truth. Yeshua is indeed lazy; he rarely does his homework on time, and has to be constantly reminded by his parents to do his chores. He’s also irresponsible. He can rarely keep a hold of most items, especially things like pens, pencils, and paper. The only things Yeshua can really keep a track of are items he knows have value to him or others. The reason he is known as irritating is rather simple, really. He never pays attention to anything. Ever. He does poorly in school because he’s constantly day dreaming or sleeping. During conversations, Yeshua’s friends usually have to repeat every third sentence because they just pass over Yeshua’s head completely unnoticed. When he’s told to take notes on something or another, Yeshua usually begins doodling a picture so random that even he has no idea why he was thinking about it at the time.

However, the boy isn’t all bad. In his school, Yeshua is known as one of few people you can walk up to and pour out all your problems to. The best part is, he actually listens. Yeshua’s compassion knows few bounds, as is evident by his quickness to forgive and his swiftness to help somewhere in need. Of course, the seemingly unending pool of sympathy that is Yeshua is easily gullible. Even the worst actors can convince him a sob story is true. This usually means Yeshua spends most of his time carrying other people’s things and opening doors in out of the way places. A side effect of this need to help strangers is that Yeshua is always late. All of that aside, most people that know Yeshua appreciate his sympathy for their genuine issues. Even the people who chastise Yeshua for coming to class fifteen minutes after the bell, or home an hour after curfew, know that ninety nine percent of the time Yeshua was late because he was doing something that he thought mattered.

History: Yeshua was born to a third generation Jewish family in Neo Tokyo, Japerica. He had two older brothers and three younger sisters, and two loving parents. As a child, Yeshua went to private Jewish school with the rest of his sisters and one of his older brothers. He grew up learning the ways of an Orthodox Jew, and had a relatively normal childhood. The only real problem their family had was money. The problem wasn’t that they were poor; no, they had money to spare. The problem was that their father devoted almost all of his time to working to provide the life he felt his family deserved. His obsession with making money stemmed from his childhood, where his family was extremely poor, and forced to live day to day just trying to survive. Abraham’s (Yeshua’s father) workaholic behavior allowed his children whatever luxuries they desired. This extra money was what fueled Yeshua’s desire to play virtual reality video games. Slowly but surely, Yeshua’s father fell out of the faith; his mother soon followed a few years later. One by one the other children followed their example, until the only one who could bring Yeshua to synagogue every Saturday was his older brother, who made it his personal mission to drag Yeshua and his youngest sister to worship every Saturday.

Besides the split in the family on religious matters, Yeshua never had to deal with any sort of tragedy or issues. His biggest problems were homework and school. His life was easy; his life still is easy. But a little voice in Yeshua’s head always reminded him that not every lived the same easy life he did. That voice always reminded the Jewish teen that life, for many people, sucked. So, at the age of twelve, Yeshua made it his personal mission to help whoever he could however he could. There wasn’t too much Yeshua could do at his private, sheltered school. But that changed when, at fourteen, his father put him into a public learning environment. Yeshua tried to adapt, but he found himself the victim of bullying for his small size and strange religious practices. Yeshua wasn’t alone, though. He had attracted a number of close companions with his unending joy and compassion. Eventually the bullying stopped, as the bullies noticed that there was little fun in toying with someone who didn’t seem to care what happened to him. Life just kind of straightened itself out for Yeshua, and all was good when Grand Quest Online first popped onto the shelves…

All looks good, cept for the Skill. Yea, some sort of supernatural power (or just having flaming bolts) would be required for something like that.

I guess I could suggest the same sort of Skills I suggest for Ominal if your focus is going to be ranged weaponry.

This, or

Proximity Shot (Lv 1: 0/100 XP) (Active) You can use a Ranged Weapon on enemies closer to you to increase damage, plus you fire and aim at such a speed where you are not open to counterattacks. Firing at enemies closer to you increases the damage of your Ranged Weapons by 10%.

[Renose]

Also do remember that (this is for everyone since we haven't really started yet so there's still time to do this)

You can sacrifice two Talent and Stat points to get a second Attribute (Attributes do more than just boost talents and stats, some give special bonuses) at character creation, and whenever you get another Attribute from leveling up (Every 5th level) you can do the same to get a second attribute level (which can either give another Attribute or level up one of the attributes you currently have).

[Maxxorlord]

Makes sense.

Mmmhmmm..I'll go with aim, for the sake of diversity in skillz.

[Renose]

Alright.

With that, your CS should be all done. Go ahead and make your Intro post.

[Maxxorlord]

You got it, boss man.

[Renose]

Maxxorlord said
You got it, boss woman.

Either fixed that for you or made it incorrect. Assume what you will ;3

[Maxxorlord]

peijsogioaiwjrqwmdvij. <------ Face to keyboard.

Why you no specific gender?

Cause why not.

[Renose]

Anyway, waiting on Ominal now.

[Renose]

I hate to do this, but I am going to skip Ominal. I do want to get things moving. He can make his intro post and catch up to this next post.

[Omnial]

skip? I just posted...

[Renose]

Yea I had noticed that XD

Anyway, I posted now. First fight. Normally I would ask how you want to progress in the OOC (on guard, checking every nook and cranny, with speed, etcetera) but its the first dungeon so it doesn't really matter

Or does it? (there could be a hidden door somewhere, but spoiler alert, there was nothing in that first room or in that first hallway)

[Renose]

Anyway, when fighting, there is no turn order in terms of you guys, the players.

Its simply whoever posts first, goes first. (if there was a turn order, combat would take forever). If you take forever to post, your turn is skipped.

You post, depicting how your character acts in your Turn (you all can get 1 action right now, that's it, I personally recommend smacking some bitches ;3)

And then ill post the results of said action.

[Renose]

Yea, so here's how Inventory Items worked (should have mentioned this).

Unlike other Windows, you don't open your Inventory with voice commands. Instead you have to open up whatever your inventory item you have and a window will appear showing everything in it in a small list. After that you touch what you want in the window and it makes the item appear in your hand.

You can have multiple inventory items, some are bags, others are special small magical items that can be worn on your person like a bracelet or an amulet, some are belt pouches and so on.

So naturally if someone steals your bag or other inventory item from you, you're a bit fucked. This also makes using items a bit harder in combat. Granted you can hold things in your pockets (if they are small enough) but that may not be good for fragile items (like potions and such).

[Renose]

Also looks like I don't have to post until you all get to reacting to the combat part of my post.

Hooray :3

[Zombehs]

Renose said This also makes using items a bit harder in combat. Granted you can hold things in your pockets (if they are small enough) but that may not be good for fragile items (like potions and such).

So if something were to hit your Inventory Items mid-combat would your items inside (like potions) shatter, or do they un-damagable while inside?

[Renose]

Depends on the Inventory Item.

The sack you have is a total piece of crap compared to the other items, so yea that could have the items inside break it. But other forms of inventory items are special or magical so the stuff inside would be safe unless something came by and just began to unleash all hell else on that item alone.

[Renose]

When you acquire new, different, or better inventory items ill tell you how they work.
