### Character Sheet:
Please **Bold** the categories, such as Name and History, and keep the sheet in a vertical format, like it's presented below. I'll also be posting my character soon to show an example.

**Gender:**
**Themesong:** (Not required, but fun)
**Class:** (If your general class has a subcategory, it’d be preferred. Ex., Bladeknight, Gunsniper.)
**Appearance:** (Image or text is acceptable.)
**History:** (What was your character’s life like before they came to the academy? How did their life change? What are some key events we should know? Keeping things secret for a bit is fine, but if it’s something that’s probably important, maybe PM me?)
**Statistics:** Everyone gets 100 points to spend as they wish at the start. When you level up, you won’t get quite so many, though, so don’t just dump everything into a few stats.

History:
Born and raised in Japan, Hayato's father was part of the SDF, and was involved in a widespread monster attack when a number of rifts opened in Japan 13 years ago. He was killed in this attack, leaving Hayato's elder brother to take care of him and their mother. His brother, swearing revenge, went to AcadeMMO and became a Knight. He even became an S rank, and Hayato couldn't wait to join his brother. Then, however, they received grim news. On an expedition to Excaledvol, his brother had disappeared, and was presumed killed in action. Hayato refused to accept this, and studied hard to pass the entrance exam and join AcadeMMO, determined to find his brother and get revenge for his father by defeating all the monsters and closing the rifts once and for all!
However, after joining, he found himself particularly outclassed by most of the other students, and despite trying his best and often training by himself, for his entire first year he never rose past E rank. Lately he has become discouraged, as it seems he'll never accomplish his goals...

Spells/Skills:
Flash Blade [1]- The command for this Skill is its name.

When used, this Skill adds 5 Attack to a single strike. At higher levels, the amount added will increase. Consumes 10 MP.
Blade Trail [1] - The command for this Skill is its name. A basic technique known and used by many Knights, it concentrates power into the legs and the weapon for a burst of speed. The weapon flashes with colored energy as the user attacks, then continues their dash past the opponent. Excellent for maneuvering around slow enemies, but requires a lot of room to run in. When used, this Skill add 5 speed and 2 Attack to a single strike. At higher levels, the amount added will increase. Consumes 10 MP.
Zero Point Sword [1] - The command for this skill is its name. A personal skill belonging to Hayato's family back in Japan, as they had a history as kendo practitioners. When the blade of his sword is making contact with an enemy, Hayato can use their own motion against them. It's very difficult to perform correctly, however. When used, this Skill adds 5 Accuracy to a single strike. At higher levels, the amount added will increase. Consumes 10 MP.

Name:
Winnifred Winslow
Age:
15
Gender:
Female
Themesong:
Inspecting the Resounding Weapons
Class:
Gunsniper
Appearance:
Winnifred Winslow and her and her wonderfully blond hair.
History:
Winnifred's family life was a rather simple one, with the most extraordinary thing about the Winslows being their summer home, a hunting cabin decorated with trophies of deer and other animals that Winnifred's father had hunted. Thanks to her father's hobby, she was exposed to the concept of hunting rifles and other guns since a young age and grew accustomed to seeing them from afar early on in her life, her only problem with them being the loud noise of a gunshot, which she mostly got over as she aged and became more interested in various firearms (though the sound does still startle her a bit if she isn't expecting it). Though she asked her father to teach her how to fire a rifle for her thirteenth birthday, she took more interest in smaller, single-handed firearms. It was a few months later, when she was getting close to graduating from middle school, that she began to seriously consider the idea of applying to AcadeMMO. She hadn't taken much interest beforehand, but had begun becoming more concerned more concerned by stories of monster attacks, and started realizing that she could use her knowledge and (rather basic at the time) training in guns as a way of fighting.

- HP - 110 (11 pts)

Name: Hazel Hosner
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Themesong: The Valedictory Elegy / Hedgehog's Dilemma / Cold Rain
Class: Bladeknight
Appearance: Hazel is a youthful girl with soft white skin. She has long straight red hair that reaches down to the small of her back. She has a small frame, and stands at a rather average height of 5'3. Hazel has a heart-shaped face adorned with deep green eyes. Hazel is graceful,and is deceptively strong despite her petite appearance. She is sure of step and has an almost commanding gait, oft earning the attention of others in the room, appearing as if she is the definition of 'confidence', whether or not this is true.
History: Hazel never really knew her parents, and has never experienced a conventional domestic lifestyle. At a very young age Hazel found herself abandoned into the foster care system, her birth parents unable and unwilling to support the child they refused to get rid of. Hazel bounced around foster homes, but never had good experiences in any of them. She lacked any sort of parental guidance, never able to call any of her foster parents 'mom' or 'dad'. As expected from one raised in such a difficult environment Hazel became a 'problem child'. The apathy of her foster parents turned to resentment, and Hazel's difficult home life turned worse as they began to hate her. Hazel, despite being a seemingly normal girl, had trouble making friends at her school, and she became aggressively anti-social during this time. People began to shut her out, and she found herself without any sense of self-worth, believing herself to be useless. As time progressed this shot sense of self-worth morphed into a very aggressive ego, forcibly asserting herself as 'better' then those around her to compensate. AS she made the transition from Middle to High School it was revealed to her that her current foster parents decided to get rid of her, enrolling her in AcadeMMO.
As she made the transition into AcadeMMO she thrived. She took quickly to her lessons, and naturally picked up the art of swordplay. Some would call her a prodigy, and this only served to feed into her growing ego. Other people began to take an interest in her, and suddenly she found herself near the top of the social food chain of AcadeMMO, her skills attracting friends. As people flocked around her she put on the mask of someone she wasn't, and slowly began to mimic the way her friends acted, becoming a regular kid. A regular kid with a massive ego masking a crushingly low sense of self esteem, but a regular kid nonetheless. Despite all the people around her Hazel still feels alone.
Statistics:
When it comes to fighting, Hazel holds a simple philosophy: The best defense is a strong offense

- Accuracy - 15
- Defense - 5

Spells/Skills:
True Strike: Finishing Move [2]- This move is Hazel's self-perfected finisher. The move is designed to finish a weakened enemy, and is only usable if the enemy *is* weakened. She targets the weakened enemy, and her blade pulses with magic energy. The attack will finish off simple creatures and other weak enemies, and will merely launch an blow with an additional 15 attack at stronger enemies. At higher levels the move can kill stronger creatures. Consumes 20 MP. Command: "Let's end this!"
Hemorrage [1]- Hazel allows the magic inside her to guide her blade, and finds an artery. The skills adds an extra 5 Attack to her blow, and causes the enemy to begin bleeding. If the enemy does not have blood the skill does not work, for obvious reasons. Consumes 10 MP. Command: "Bleed!"

**Name:** Ryouta Himonaga
**Age:** 18
**Gender:** Male
**Themesong:** [Fuhen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVbTTuYjZe8)
**Class:** Binder - Mundane
**Appearance:** He appears to be a youth in his late teenage years, one of the more matured students, with an [exquisite weapon](http://kultofathena.com/images%5CAB0314BK_l.jpg) by his hip at all times. It has never been unsheathed in front of human eyes.
Ryouta Himonaga has a relaxed appearance, his dyed autumn hair sways over his eyebrows in dishevelled spikes and the rest of his head is almost always a little messy. He keeps his sideburns longer and they give him a more mellowed appearance. Handsome even, to many people. He is of average height but his Magician's uniform makes him look taller (especially when his hood is up), it denotes him as a capable spellcaster within the academy - a fact that he himself isn't sure of.
Two crests are sewn into his right sleeve, one denoting the nature of his spells, represented by an octogram with a cross within. And another that marks him as a member of the Magical Research Society , a division within the Magi cohort that granted him membership because of the relic he carries.
**History:**
Eyes under the bed. STrange stains on the sidewalk. Doorways to other world in the darkest corners.
These things were news to everyone when the gates to the other side opened, big news. But for Ryouta Himonaga, nothing changed. He always knew the world was a place beyond most people's understanding, that there was a side not many knew about, some even called him 'mental' when he was young. The child who would see things that 'weren't there', hear whispers in the ground and talk to strangers of thin air. But as the japanese saying goes "The nail who stands out must be hammered down." Society eventually had him hide away his secrets and keep them out of the light to appear normal as best as he could, he even managed to go through high school as a slightly popular individual with his good grades.
But then, his town was struck with one of the first few gates. Within nights, the population of Kumagaya had reduced to 30% and those who could not be evacuated in time were barely surviving. It was during this time that in an inspired moment, Ryouta quickly ran to the shrine in the center of town and picked up the old ritual sword, one of the sacred treasures used by their priests once said to ward them from disasters in ancient past. He wielded it, he felt his calling. He went to confront his first opponent.
Like a fIsh to water, Ryouta slayed his fIrst monster. The incantations of old no longer used to bless houses and banish spirits, they were now weapons against a new enemy. The people, now with newfound strength, took back their town and cut down any who stood in their way. The streets became paved with the blood of countless beasts and earned Kumagaya it's new nickname "The Red Village".
When AcadeMMO set up it's establishments, recruiters were sent to the red village and Ryouta, along with many other townsfolk, joined the crusade against these unclean creatures.
Statistics: Ryouta is never in a hurry to go anywhere. In combat he utilizes slow, graceful sidesteps to avoid his opponents and then strikes foRcefully when an opportunity presents itself.
Level - Everyone starts at 1.
HP - 100
MP - 100
Attack - 10
Magic - 20
Speed - 5
Accuracy - 10
Defense - 5
Evasion - 20
Resistance - 10
Spells/Skills:
**Flash Step (1)**- Based on the theorems of geomancy and walking in the old ways, the practitioner traverses many meters in a single illusory step. It has origins from ancient lore and is considered a form of mortal magic, perhaps heightened by the appearance of the gates. Ryouta can only use this while holding a sacred weapon. Requires 10 MP. Maximum of 10 yards movement, improves to 10 meters upon level up.
**Prayer For Calmness (1) **- An incantation rebuking disaster and dispelling hostilities, it is chanted in a forgotten dialect once used by the aseptics to protect homes. Now it binds these vicious spirits that do not belong to this world and weakens them as they are trapped in a grand symbol, till they return to where they came or otherwise. It even works on some people. Requires 10 MP. Pits Magic against Resistance, upon success holds the creature still for 1 minute during which it is considered weakened. The irresistability and amount of targets improves with level up.
Incantation: "Iye yoo yui. No bo meno." In a grand, song-like tone.
**Sacred Sword (1) -** On command, Ryouta's weapon, with sheathe intact, lashes out from a distance to strike down his foe before returning to it's handler. This is an ability of the sword itself and Ryouta is merely one who wields it, he can only control it's movement by pointing. This extraordinary feat has led some to suspect that the blade has a mind of it's own and seeks to destroy evil even when confined. Requires 10 MP. Adds Magic to Attack for a single strike at range. Number of strikes improves with level. This is an inherent ability of anyone who currently holds the sacred weapon's talisman (the red ornament at the hilt is detachable).
Incantation: Anything. Really. As long as Ryouta points towards the target. (He can even do it like Oprah: "And you get a sword! And YOU get a sword!" It will still work. :/)

@71342: While I'm really digging the backstory, appearance, and theme, Binders and other Magic Classes don't use weapons because the time it takes to study magic conflicts with having enough time to learn to use weapons as well. In addition, Flash Step seems more like a skill a Shade or Knight would use, rather than a Binder spell, and its MP cost is too low. The Level of the Skill x10 determines MP cost.
I really, really like the feel of the character overall--ancient Shinto priests, Buddhist monks, and other kinds of shamanic magic meant to ward off spirits were exactly the inspiration for the Binder class. Here are some suggestions that I think would iron things out:
You've already got the sword serving as kind of a "non weapon," in that he uses it as a magical ranged attack rather than fighting with swordplay. Rather than following his movements, what if the sword was a component of one of his seals or barriers? Maybe he holds out the sword in its sheath and recites the incantation, and it creates a barrier or produces some kind of magic effect? You could even incorporate it into "the sword doesn't see him as worthy to draw it" or something, preventing him from using it as a normal weapon, but the sealing power of the sword can be channeled through his spells?
Or, for more offense, perhaps he casts a magical chain/rope/etc attached to the sword's hilt as a restraint on the enemy, and then sword is pulled out by the chain and hovers above that enemy. If they try to escape, it will cut into them. Binders are allowed to use their chains and barriers to physically crush/choke/etc enemies as their offensive measure, so this would incorporate well I think.
You could also have him slam the sheathe down into the ground so that the sword stands there, and a magic seal spreads out around it that has some kind of effect, like preventing any evil creature from stepping into the area or something. At this point I would just be coming up with moves I think are cool off the top of my head and rambling, so I'll stop. But is any of this helpful?

Gender: Male
Class: Summoner
Appearance: Click here
History: His entire life John was able to easily befriend non-hostile Ex-Beasts. Because of this his parents had him tested for magic. The tests confirmed what they had suspected, he was a Summoner. Wanting to nurture his gis gift his parents bought him tons of books about mythological creatures.
When he was twelve he found a small injured feline Ex-Beast, actually a Cactus-kitten. Not knowing what else to do he brought it to the nearest vet who managed to fix the animal up. He tried to convince his parents to let him keep it, but they explained why that would be a bad idea. Still whit this event in mind he eventually picked the Cactus-Cat as the first Ex-Beast he made a contract with.

Name: Rian Li
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Class: Dark Cleric
Appearance: Rian’s height (5’2/1.58m) and weight (110lb./49kg) don’t do much to help his feminine looks, given he’s rather petite in stature. Still, though Rian’s features are soft, his mannerisms tell a similar yet different story; there is plenty of steel holding up the pretty exterior.
History: Suffice to say, but Rian’s life prior to attending AcadeMMO was fairly mundane. They were fortunate enough to live in an area free of most ExBeast attacks and thus knew peace and simplicity in their lives. He was an only child, and began to exhibit signs of potential rather early on. Given that the school did not accept applicants until they were 14, it was up to his two parents to figure out how to deal with their gifted child.
Thankfully his powers were fairly tame, and a bit of research revealed he would likely be classified as a Cleric. To that, a collective sigh of relief was breathed for the Li household. While fascinated by his powers, Rian didn’t really want to burn their house down or hurt anyone, being the rather well-behaved child he was. He also loved his parents, and took what they had told him rather seriously given they were treating him not just as a child, but as someone who’d one day hold a great deal of responsibility.
And eventually he was taken in by AcadeMMO on his 14th birthday. Things sort of went downhill from here though he endured it without complaint. Given his appearance and Class, it was sort of inevitable that bullies would naturally home onto Rian. Rather than give them any satisfaction though, he simply poured himself into his studies and training; intent on proving himself with actual results rather than empty words and actions.
And so he did. While he didn’t gain too much popularity with the other students during Special Assignments, he was practically loved by the more conventional military forces. With his abilities debilitating ExBeasts, their previously useless weaponry were back in use and capable of felling the monsters. Of course there were some that disliked the fact that they needed a Magi to do something, but many more simply liked being able to contribute to the battle once more.
Thus the first year at AcadeMMO has passed, and Rian currently sits at a probationary D-Rank. He needs a few more Special Assignments to actually achieve the ranking, and he looks forward to them.

Spells/Skills:
- Stance of the Archer [1] - The basic skill of all of Ayame's skills, it is the basic stance of how an regular archer would shoot arrows. For every two levels of any other skills, a single point must be taken in this skill to allow the next two levels to be unlocked. She is useless with normal arrows but, she can magically create arrows deal a 4th of her magic stat(10) and consume up to 5 mana per arrow. Being able to fire up to 32 electric arrows before having to rest. These arrows deal a tiny shock when in contact, and have better piercing ability than regular arrows.
- Arc Arrow [2]- Using her bow, she charges a arrow of potent energy that is many times stronger than her regular electric arrows, as the speed, damage and piercing potential of this arrow is increased. The arrows shocks the target during contact with them, before dissipating which takes several seconds to do. It leaves behind a distinctive smell like what happens after a lighting storm, it smells similar to car exhaust if anything.
**Name:**Joe Louis
**Age:** 14
**Gender:**Male
**Themesong:** Currently [Busta Rhymes - Calm Down FT Eminem](http://youtu.be/2Y5J3VUC9qM?t=55s)
Later [Nas - Hero](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xvcXkKzd7Y)
**Class:** Striker
**Appearance:** A male with rough darker skin and short black hair in a crew-cut style. He is a little taller than average but won't turn heads when he walks with a long arm and leg reach and a muscular build that betrays his fighting style as a close range one. He has a tattoo of a blue Chinese type Dragon on the lower end of his chest and one of a boxing glove on his right arm.
**History: **
Joe Louis was born as a normal guy that just happened to like boxing. This interest drew him into other martial arts like Dutch Kickboxing, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. There was nothing really off about him or something special that might have happened in his life to motivate him to join the academy. He just really happened to like fighting and thought fighting against demons were cool. Lucky for him, he was born with the innate talent for chi and hand to hand martial arts, particularly stand up.
He has a hatred for Magi. He feels that they're just fodder and that they're more loved by everyone and that they get unfair treatment in comparison. Normally he'll tolerate them and is able to work with them in missions but he'll absolutely lose his shit if they dare to do or say something that confirms his thoughts of perceived inferiority.
**Statistics: **
Level - 1
HP - 10 (100)
MP - 4 (40)
Attack - 20
Magic - 5
Speed - 15
Accuracy - 15
Defense - 11
Evasion - 15
Resistance - 5
**Spells/Skills:**
**Follow The Leader [2]-**
A simple technique because Joe loves to keep it simple when he fights. Joe concentrates all his power in his fist and throws it with the attempt of finishing the fight in that same blow. However, he is easily susceptible to counter attacks if he misses because he puts all his momentum and power into it.. It adds 20 attack to the punch.(Command: "Guess it's time to get serious and end this fight. Not to be arrogant but it's over, you know that right?") Consumes 20 MP every time it is performed. (Has longer command for more power)
(I'm saving the other level. I think I'll go an anti-magic direction and build up his resistance and magic stat to make him fight stronger against magic using opponents.)
