I'm feeling really happy and pumped. Oh, and joyful. Haha.
Bio
Here's a list of things about me if you want to know a little bit more. Though if you actually want to get to know me, send me a PM, or talk over the OOC chat.
1. I don't generally like roleplays where my characters are forced to be serious 100% of the time; mostly because that's not how actual people work.
2. Yes, I use anime pictures for appearances. I've come to like anime less and less over the years, and personally only ever watch the movies now, and that's on incredibly rare occasions. I personally like using those over actual people faces, because people have too many specific details, and I can never find people faces that match the description I want. If you would like, I can use a text description instead.
3. I generally like to make 'pairs' of characters. Either characters that seriously contrast with each other, or work together really well but still have arguments and problems.
4. I've been forum roleplaying for just about 5 years now, and I've been tabletop roleplaying for 11 years now. I still suck at roleplaying despite being a 12 year veteran, but, what're you gonna do?
5. I really enjoy talking to people. Yes, society has gone downhill, but despite that I find serious enjoyment out of talking to people about anything. So, if I'm in an RP with you, just chat away with me. We can talk about mundane things, or go all-out on serious topics. I don't think I've come across a single person I've hated talking to, even if they were somewhat irritating or annoying. So please PM me, or just talk OOC.
6. I flipping love Inside Out, and as such, if you ever make an RP based around it, please invite me. I promise to behave of course. If one isn't made though, you know very well that I'll make my own, and I'll try my hardest to make it the best RP possible. Or, if you just want to talk about Inside Out, I'd love to do that as well.
7. Please make good characters. I understand Advanced Roleplayer's over on that section have no problem with this, but I don't like RPing over there. When I'm on casual roleplay, not many seem to care a whole lot about making good characters. They just make walking cliche's to get into an RP, and then completely change that character as the RP barely starts. It's annoying, lazy, and doesn't really make me want to accept you if I'm GM or co-GM.
Characters are the literal heart and soul of roleplaying, and should be treated as such. If you make your characters card-board cut-outs, it only tells me that you either don't care, are lazy, or that we absolutely need a moderate roleplay section on the forums to bridge the gap between posting 1-2 paragraphs with barely any work put into characters, and posting 6-8 paragraphs with enormously deep backstories, love, and care, put into characters.
8. I am a caring and nice guy, so don't be afraid to talk to me about anything. I'm fairly hard to offend, and even harder to make mad. I seriously enjoy getting to know my fellow members, so talk whenever you feel like it.
I'll still only be editing that post up there for acceptations unless this moves onto another page. So check up there for my opinions.
Also, the limit for today works so long as we notify them through PM. That way we can fairly say whether they're accepted or not.
I'll just be editing this post with all of my app acceptations.
With Kurano, his "mob issues" have never really been fights, but he has been beaten up by them and lost every time. He would loan money and not have enough to pay back, that sort of stuff.
The only violence Minami's suffered would probably be verbal abuse if that counts as violence.
Personally, my characters don't break any of the rules from what I see, and they feel enough like characters to be accepted.
With the rules on fighting, it's that they couldn't have been trained by professionals how to fight, nor be fighting prodigy's. If they're scrappy back alley fighters, that's much more acceptable. They could have gotten into fights or scraps and won, but if they clearly are all powerful beings that can win ten on one fights without breaking a sweat, or people with over one hundred confirmed kills or something that's no good.
I would allow people who know how to fight, but are mostly self-taught and don't have Rocky Balboa's insane amount of prowess. If they could beat up the biggest kid on their street, that's okay. If they beat the world champion boxer, that's not.
Rocky was self-taught for the most part, but he had the drive and motivation clearly put out for us to see. With Rose, we haven't exactly seen her use any specific "Hunter" skills yet, so we don't know whether she is insanely OP or balanced.
For Kristof, his bio is near perfection, and he really doesn't violate any rules in most regards but one. That is the fact that because he's a strongman, he will be inherently strong. Whether it's suplexing a train strong, or just lifting a 400 lb. weight strong makes a difference. I count him as accepted so long as his strength has clearly set limits, and you don't change those limits whenever you want them to fit the occasion.
Kassy is the only one of Tek's two apps that needs a bit more stuff clarified in the bio, such as how many years was she in a coma? How long has she been out of it? How did she react to coming out of a coma? Because she's been gone a while, what is her mental age? Does she act like whatever she was when she was put into a coma, or did she just suddenly mature once she had to take to the streets?
These are all minor things really that can be roleplayed out though.
So for me right now it goes.
Kurano - accepted
Minami - accepted
Kristof - accepted
Naoto - Accepted
Kassy - accepted, would be nice if some things in the bio were a bit more explained.
Rose - Denied
Alex - Denied
The One's Characters - Denied
Pharaoh has yet to comply to application rule 5 for me to try and accept or deny.
The One has not done anything yet regarding changes, and must first delete characters off of the character's tab and post them here.
Should we have a time limit on fixing characters, and notify those people who have not done it yet, and tell them about the time limit? Because the only two left are Pharaoh and The One for me.
I say no to both the Pharaoh's and The One's until certain rules are adhered to.
Alright, so do we have a checklist of what we need? Or are we just going to be using the rules as our checklist?
Alright, so Pharaoh, the first thing you need to fix is the image size. Please put the really huge images into a hider. Otherwise you will be in direct conflict with application rule #5, and we cannot accept you.
Am I the only one trying to do these right now, or are you doing this silently?
Oh snap, we're going this far.
Is bias towards my own creation accepted? XD
No. Alright, I'll be just as hard on my own babies as the rest of you.
Kurano TanakaUsername: RawrgnatheBloodfridge | Character Name: Kurano Tanaka | Character Age: 20 | Character Gender: Male
Appearance:
Kurano is 5'6" tall, and generally wears the vest, tie, and white button-up shirt with black pants get-up. His eye color is brown, and hair generally disheveled. He normally wears grey tied shoes, and wears a watch with constant reminders on study, food, and class times routinely sounding off. His eyes normally have dark shadows under them from the constant nights he spends staying up to study.
Fourth Dimensional Power: Sound. Not unlocked all of his powers.
Bio: Kurano is a college law student, attending Waseda University, a very prestigious and highly respectable University within the Shinjuku Tokyo region. Kurano was gifted the dimensional power of sound inherited from his mother. His parents weren't the wealthiest, leading him to live a more modest lifestyle growing up. His conflicts with the snobs at Waseda tend to happen often. He's fairly hard-working and serious, shown through his intensive studies into graduating as quickly as possible and becoming a lawyer. Though, growing up in a humble family has given him a chance to realize just how gifted he truly is. Being a student at Waseda caused him and his family to be a target of the local mob, and he's usually pestered often from his usual route between his classes and his apartment. Kurano genuinely tries his hardest to be nice to others, though normally ends up being rude in some way. He uses his power with as much responsibility as possible, trying to hone it so that he could hear an approaching danger much easier.
Most of Kurano's life was spent in the shadow of his uncle, a successful businessman who would stop at nothing to make sure Kurano was set in life, him not ever having a child and likely will never have the possibility either. Kurano was trained in various important aspects of what's needed to "make it" in life. Coercion, looks, and most importantly, how to make money. He very normally conflicted with his uncle, only wanting to inherit the family business. He only recently took up smoking, as a way to escape the constant stress of the world and classes. He had heard recently that those with the power of taste could easily develop fourth dimensional toe cheese.
Minami has orange dyed hair, with her natural hair color being a raven black. She normally keeps her hair in a twin-tails look with big clips to hold them there. Minami is 4'8" tall, and has an almost orange glow in her light brown colored eyes. She normally likes to wear the color yellow or orange to complement her hair and eye colors. Though, rarely she'll go as far as to wear brown on occasions. She wears a yellow dress shirt, and orange capris when not attending school.
Fourth Dimensional Power: Smell. Really sucks when that fourth dimensional toe jam comes into effect. Has not earned all of her powers yet.
Bio: Minami is a recent runaway. Her parents were neglectful with a step-father and mother, and had no friends in school due to the fact that she was more reserved than others, as well as constantly being teased over what she wore and what she's done. She got fed up with it all, and figured that her chances of surviving in the city weren't all that bad. Only three weeks into her runaway plan from Osaka and her arduous journey, she finally got to Tokyo, the city of dreams, as she was told by her deceased father. There, she would be able to survive amongst the countless amounts of other homeless people strewn about the slums. Minami was always ridiculed for being "too nice, and too trusting." Minami never once deserved the hate she recieved, it made her that much more tempted to escape from Osaka.
Minami always attempted to be as kind as possible in the face of her aggressors, not giving in until the day she snapped and ran away. She had an extreme amount of perseverance, always pushing for her dreams no matter how impossible they seemed. Her power, that she inherited from her biological father, always came in handy for her when helping her mother to cook. Though, her life took a downhill turn once her father died and a step-dad took his place. The man constantly smoked, and would verbally abuse her and her mother. Eventually, Minami's mom stopped caring about her, and so did her father. Minami's only friends moved out prior to all of this, and then she experienced an entirely new feeling. Loneliness. Never before had she ever felt alone. It scared Minami to no end, being persecuted, alone, and sad. There was no place for her in her home town, and decided that Tokyo would accept her better than this place had. She would have to learn how to scrounge for food, and sift through the dirty rivers for water. Her personality always stayed positive, however. She knew that braving the tough world be better than being alone until the day that she died. Minami had that amount of common sense at the least. She packed as much food as she could from the kitchen while her parents were at work, and traveled. Now in the prophetic city she was told about, her only wonder was what she needed to do now to find friends.
Looks like I'm not the only one who needs to see a psychologist Tek. XD
Yeah, it's part of the rules now that starting out with weapons, or being heavily battle trained, is a no go from here on out.
Oh, that was before we issued the rule. Alright, so does that make him an exception, or not?
[quote=@Teknonick]
According to the quote, I did. Huh. Oh well. Opinions people?
lol. I'd say I can imagine that too, but I have no idea what you look like.
yeah sure umm just one problem how do I add hiders?
Okay. There's a list of buttons right above where you type your post. And at the bottom of the screen (If you scroll all the way) there is a Formatting Cheatsheet with a button to push for you to open it up. If you type [hider][\hider] but with a forward slash (/) that also works. You can also do [hider=Some Words Here Just For Example] if you want to label it.

Alright, my opinion is that we both messed up last night, and you're just as imperfect as I am. How could you see the dude with battle armor and two experimental laser weapons and go, "that seems balanced enough. Han Solo here is accepted."
We never accepted Alex, or at least, I don't remember ever accepting Alex. Did anyone else do it behind my back?
I don't know why, but I laugh way too hard when you mention therapy. I have never once had a therapy session in my life, yet you always assume this. So I just imagine myself in a straightjacket at a computer drawing these and saying to myself over and over. "I'm perfectly sane. I'm perfectly sane."
