[Crimson Raven]

Name: Kelsier
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Appearance: Kelsier is very tall at 6'9" and change. He very muscular and weighs 250 pounds without his armor. His eyes change color depending on the light, from a light gray to a black with a red tint.

Without the Armor

His Armor

Kingdom: He holds no allegence to crown or god.

Persona: Kelsier is calm and cool, even under pressure. He has a decent sence of humor and doesn't mind jokes directed at him. His loyalty is unqustionable, if you are able to win it. He has a code of honor known only to him, though he will set it aside for a comrade. He is very intelligent and those that underestimate him are in for a world of hurt. He is easygoing until it becomes time to fight, then his personality shifts and he becomes emotionless, focused, and quiet. His manners often seem 'old-fashioned' and he is extramely chivalrous, however he sees no problem with women fighting. He pays attention to small details and he is very thorough, and while he is hesitent to commit himself, but once he does, he sees it through to the end never giving his second best. He is facinated by guns and technology, almost as if he has never seen them before...

Post Example:

Kelsier loved watching the sunset. It reminded him of days gone by and somthing else he couldn't remember, a flash of a green eye, the smell of strawberries and sunshine. He sat, watching the sun sink and the twilight grow until it was fully dark. Having no need for rest or food, he got up and resumed traveling. He walked for quite a long time, able to see by the light of the full moon overhead, untill he came upon another traveler camping by a fire. Kelsier stepped into the ring of light from the fire and made his assesment of the man quickly, short and broad with the build that only comes from hours of hard physical labor. About thirty years old, still in his prime with a sword in a sheath next to him. Kelsier pegged him as a farmer turned mercanary. The man looked up and saw Kelsier's tall dark figure. The man grinned and said, "Well, its not every day you see a fellow travler. Come, boy, sit warm yourself by the fire. Although," the man cautioned, "If you mean ill, I am armed and I know how to fight. "I mean you no harm, sir." Kelsier answered "I am, as you said, a fellow travler." "Good, good have some food, I have plenty." the man said. Kelsier thanked him, sat down and started eating. As he ate the man introduced himself as Pel and Kelsier introduced himself. Then Pel asked, "So, why is an obviously strong warrior like you in a gods forsaken place like this?" Kelsier paused, and looked up saying "It is polite for the host to tell about himself first." Pel let loose a hearty chuckle. "Got it in one, you did. Very well." Pel told Kelsier about how he was traveling from the capitol of the Earth Kingdom back his farm on the edge of the Water Kingdom with his profits from his time as a mercanary. Kelsier pointed out that traveling alone in these times was very dangerous to which Pel replied with a laugh and a grin, "Then why are you traveling alone?" Kelsier didn't reply.
When he was finished, Pel brought out a canteen of whiskey, "All that talking makes a throat dry, want some?" "No thanks." Kelsier replied. Pel shrugged and said "Suit your self." He took a swig, "Ahhh now that feel good. I've told you, its your turn now." "I am just a wanderer," Kelsier said "looking for my past, and trying to find a future." Pel glanced at him "Is that it?" "Yes, that is all." Pel shrugged again and said, "You're welcome to share my camp until mourning." "Thank you." Pel crawled into his tent and soon went to sleep. Kelsier remaned by the campfire until it started to die, then without a word he got up and continued on his journey.

Equipment: His sword, Silver is capable of charging its blade with one of three elements, fire, ice, and electricity. (This is the sword's power, not his own.) His armor, Shadowlight is a powerful suit of armor that he can summon and dismiss at will, it isn't ordanary armor, a portion of his soul is bound in it. It is nearly indestructable, yet is quite light and alows for decent mobility. He also is wearing a a gold ring set with a large diamond that has a symbol carved into its facet.

Ability/Magic/Technology: When he fights he prefers to be up and personal. He is a skilled swordsman. He tires less quickly than normal. For reasons he does not explain he does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

His magic specalty is temporal magic, which is very complicated and he is still trying to understand and master it. Most of his magic, he uses to enhance his physical combat.

Equip: He summons his armor on himself.

Telekentic Slash: This alows him to cut something from far away.The amount of energy this takes is proportional to the distace. Kelsier likes to use it to catch an opponent off guard.

Time bubble: He can create a bubble of changed time, once the bubble is up, it cannot move and one it goes down, it takes thirty seconds before he can put up another. The size and duration depends on the type. He has two types of bubbles: quicktime, which compresses time in a five foot range he can make a couple of seconds last a minute. From inside everything around it seems to move very slowly, this is moderatly draining. Slowtime is the oppisite it expands time making a second inside a minute outside. The size can go up to a small room and it doesn't take much energy.

Prescience: His most powerful ability. When activated he can see a few moments into the future. His mind is also enhanced to deal with all of the information. In combat this alows him to see what is about to happan and react to it. This ability burns through energy very quickly and he cannot use any other magic while it is active.

Haste: He speeds the rate of time on the target, making the target faster, not just physicaly but mentaly too.

Paradox: This skill rewinds time back up to a minute. It takes all the energy he has, so after using it he is completly exausted, but with it he can go back and change what just happend.

I'm not Animus, but just to put in my two cents on your character, he sounds really, really, really strong. Characters in this RP are supposed to be kinda OP but he sounds a bit too OP. Between the facts that his armor is indestructible but light, he has super human strength/speed/stamina, he's a swordsmen with 'almost no equal', he does not need to eat/drink/sleep, and on top of that he has some magic he sounds a bit too strong to me.

[Crimson Lion]

Anyone remember what type of currency this RP uses?

[TheDarkTemplar]

Dicks?

[Crimson Raven]

@Diggerton Yet there are characters who can destroy towns with little effort, raise armies of undead, or cause an earthquake. Yeash, OP is an understatment (I'm not insulting anyone's characters). A note that might not seem clear, he can get exausted it just takes longer and he restores his energy by doing nothing. Plus the not needing to eat, drink, or sleep is explanable and part of the character. Also, note I said almost indesructable and his skill with a sword is balanced by his lack of offencive magic, i.e. light someone up with a massive fireball.

[Shikaru]

Now to thing of an introduction for Spirit :> Any ideas guyz?

[TheDarkTemplar]

I'm just gunna say that the Paradox ability will probably be shut down fast. That's too much because your basically controlling the RP with that. Prescience would only work if you either got the ok from everyone on what would happen or if you made the visions vague as hell. That's for his magic, as for skills to say he is a sword fighter with almost no equal is kind of making seem like your measuring dicks here. No one is trying to be the best which is why (if I remember correctly) no one has put that their character is the best at anything they are just skilled. While yeah the magic that some characters have is op it's not controlling of the battlefield, most of the spells have th potential to fail or miss the target but yours kind of requires you to control the RP. All in all, Kelsier is almost inhuman with the amount of control he has over everything and it kind of makes it boring to have a character that has such an easy time doing things. Makes every other character seem useless in comparison.

Edit:That's just my two cents...

[Crimson Lion]

@Shikaru

make a collab with someone else so that ur character can integrate easier

[Crimson Raven]

Hmm... two and two make four, maybe if two other people put in their two cents in with my two cents, I will have a dime to make people stop on... haha sorry bad joke.
I understand about Paradox, I thought that myself when I made it but the oppertunity was too good to miss and I put it in on the off-chance it would be accepted. As for his sword skills I guess the wording was kinda bad. I will go back and edit it. Thank you for your honest opinions. Oh, yeah one more thing about the time bubble, he can only form it around himself, and anything thrown or fired or cast out of the border is deflected to an unpredictable angle.

[TheWendil]

...so I guess that my concern of Amadeus' underage drinking will go unheard? Also, I get the feeling that he's gonna become Gilgamesh with all the weapon collecting.

@TheWindel

I'm guessing the drinking age is like 18 ish right? Isn't this kinda supposed to be mid evil? Also, he drinks to be polite

[Crimson Raven]

Wait... Medieval times with guns and cannons? What kinds of guns and cannons? Muskets? Revolvers? Nine pounders? Fifteen pounders?

@Crimson Raven

Yep, pretty much. The most advanced we have is a stone age version of a gatling gun.

[Eleventhfret]

Anybody else reminded of the mage from Hunter x Hunter when thinking of Ama?

[TheDarkTemplar]

Havin some serious writers block..
