Carnel sighed. The airplane ride had taken quite a while, and now a bus was taking him to the duel academy. Frankly, he was tired from all the travelling. A few girls had wanted to talk to him, and he had politely apologized and brushed them aside. Right now, Carnel wanted nothing more than to get to some resting quarters and get some rest. Between the jet lag and the lack of proper sleep, Carnel could barely keep up his gentlemanly facade.

In the meantime, though, he was doing what he could to relax on the bus. Right now, he was looking through his cards; nothing relaxed him more than his collection. While he had brought only a small fraction of it, it was enough for the academy. He pulled out two cards from his deck, Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 and Destiny HERO - Plasma, and smiled fondly. As the two boss monsters in his deck, he put a lot of faith in them. He knew there were a number of weaknesses that others could exploit and therefore defeat his deck, but that was the learning process in Duel Monsters. All Carnel could do was learn from his mistakes and try again.

Placing the cards back into his deck and putting his deck away, Carnel let his head roll off to the side in an attempt to get comfortable and get a bit more rest on the way to the academy. Taking slow, even breaths, Carnel tried to make himself relax and put himself to sleep. The bus ride certainly wasn't showing signs of ending anytime soon, so he might as well try to make use of the time as best he could.

I'd say that if we don't have specific details, we as the players oftentimes fill in the blanks with our imagination.

The Dark Magician and Utopia houses are the most popular, it seems.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

Carnel Novell

Name: Carnel Novell

Sex: Male

Age: 19

House: Dark Magician House

Appearance

Duel Disk: A dark brown body with a purple blade.

Personality: Carnel is normally seen as a chill and polite guy, perhaps best described as being a gentleman. Wherever he goes, he greets people with kind smiles and polite greetings. If disputes happen around him, he usually takes the time to try to defuse them and make everyone smile again. He may even make an occasional joke if the situation is appropriate.
Underneath, however, Carnel is a guy who is easily irritated. Rarely does he find someone he thinks he can trust, and dislikes a certain label that was often placed on him at home. While he maintains a calm demeanor, oftentimes there is a twitch that gives away that part of his nature, usually an eyebrow twitch or a sudden clench of his fist.

History: Carnel was born into a rich family, and given anything his parents could give him. Food, clothing, toys, you name it. He grew in such a fashion along with his older brother, Vincent. One day, a special gift was given to him: his very first Duel Monsters deck. Carnel was curious as to what it was at first, but as he learned more about Duel Monsters, he was ecstatic. As he grew, his love for Duel Monsters grew as well. His brother had taken Duel Monsters as a career and grew to be a famous Duelist.

Carnel wanted to be like his brother, and use his love for Duel Monsters for a career in the pro scene. Many saw this as Carnel wanting to catch up to his brother. As a result, they began to compare Carnel to his brother, and it was the same wherever he went. At first, Carnel didn't mind, but as time passed, Carnel began to notice this, and saw how few people recognized his own achievements. It was always "Vincent's brother" this and "Vincent's brother" that. Carnel couldn't stand it. Eventually, he managed to secure an application to Saotome Duel Institute, where he planned to carve his own path, hopefully without being compared to his brother again.

Wish: To be recognized as a Duelist, and not a person in the shadow of his brother.

@KOgaming not a Holder, nope. I'm assuming my character is fine, so I'll be adding him to the character tab.

Your character is sort of reminiscent of MARUFUJI SHO. Though, I'm probably just trailing a train of thought from Thecrash's character since your characters are actually nothing alike. You don't even have roids. I'm not sure if Royal Decree will get in the way of Breakthrough Skill in the grave. I'm also not sure if I like the random style that your character has, especially since random decks don't seem to match your character's personality.

KOgaming

It's not really a random deck. It's a Lockdown deck that focuses around Horus, Royal Decree, and Destiny HERO - Plasma to negate Spells, Traps, and Monster effects, while having a bunch of token spam to both stall and fulfill the summoning conditions needed to summon Horus and Plasma. Other minor additions are either deckthinning, protection for the two, or just a little variety to spice Duels up a bit, cuz it'd be boring to see all the same cards again and again.

Anyway, what's your opinion on Plasma? Considering that this is apparently the GX universe, would Plasma be a problem considering that only one has been shown to exist?

And if everything is alright, is my character accepted?

Messed up the quote (twice), so here.

Is it meant to look like it says 'The Three EnSINneers'?

@Kho

It's probably the closest thing he could get to a G.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

Hmm... should I rethink my entire deck? I'm running Destiny HERO - Plasma, and as far as I know, only one exists in the GX universe.

Also, Royal Decree will not affect Breakthrough Skill in the grave.
