Ichihara Ban

Under one of the few trees in the courtyard, a young man sat lazily, leaning against the thick trunk of the flora that stretched above him. Anyone that tried to sit near him was greeted with a menacing glare that usually led to them shifting away uncomfortably.

Ban was just trying to enjoy his lunch, on his plate were heaping mounds of food, it took a lot to keep him going and satisfied. Halfway through eating, Ban noticed a girl hesitantly approaching him. Here we go... He thought to himself, scowling immediately. The girl seemed to notice his face but persisted still.

"Heyyy Ban, I was wondering if you wanted to eat lunch with my friends and I" She asked innocently.

Ban scoffed and pointed at what was left of his food, "too late," he replied bluntly.

"Come on, you always sit alone, how about you try and make some fr-"

"I'm fine, now get out of my face already will ya? I'm trying to finish my lunch." Ban replied coldly, annoyance creeping in.

The girl huffed and turn on her heels, stalking off to presumably go talk shit to her friends at another table.

Not much later, Ban was approached once again. At this point he had finished his meal and was watching the recent battles on his tablet. He had a fascination with watching the fights, analyzing people's strengths, people's weaknesses. A rolled up napkin hit him in the face and drew him out of his trance of the tablet. At first Ban kind of just looked up in surprise, who in their right mind would approach the Savage of Shiroyama with that kind of disrespect? A few students around him watched raptly, wondering what Ban would do next. He assumed the kid had to be a first year, someone who didn't know any better.

The kid looked at Ban with a mix of anger and fear. Ban smiled, if you could call it that, it looked like the face of a predator about to pounce on its prey. Ichihara slowly got to his feet, leaving the tablet on the ground and glared down at the first year.

"Are you retarded?" Ban asked seriously.

The kid gave him a confused look and then masked it with anger. "You were an ass to my sister," he replied, Ban took a step forward, the kid took a step backwards.

"So?" Ban smiled predatorily once again, enjoying the way the kid started to squirm under his gaze.

"So... I challenge you to a fight!" The boy blurted out. Ban crossed his arms and remained quiet for a few moments before letting out a burst of laughter. The kid looked at him confused as Ban's eyes filled with actual tears from laughing so hard.

"That's a riot kid, it'd be a slaughter not a fight. Come back to me when you're over rank 20 okay bud?"

The boy looked like he was about to walk away until he suddenly ran forward and attempted to land a haymaker on Ban's jaw, letting out a noise that resembled some sort of war cry. Ban smirked and caught the punch, absorbing the impact more or less. He gripped the boy's fist bone-crushingly tight before throwing the fist away from his body, effectively spinning the boy away from him. This resulted in the boy becoming unbalanced and he ended up on his ass before he knew what hit him.

"Sorry kid, come back when you're stronger. Put my face on a punching bag or something, you'll get there eventually.... maybe."

Ban knew he had created a scene, but at least he hadn't completely humiliated the kid in an actual fight. These first years needed to realize what they were up against. He returned to his seat under the tree and continued watching fights on his tablet, acting as if nothing had ever happened.

@VitaVitaAR I can narrow the buffs to strength and speed if you'd like. I created it so that he can close the distance between him and his opponents because of how much of a close range fighter he is.

Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP

@VitaVitaAR So you'd like me to change his IE so that it only enhances his strength? I was unaware I created his abilities so close to another's.

Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP

@VitaVitaAR I can lower Ban's rank if you'd like, would 37 be reasonable?

Ichihara Ban

Ban

• Name: Ichihara Ban
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Ban stands at a taller than average 6'2." His most noticeable features are his long strawberry red hair and stormy grey eyes. His build is tall and athletic, he maintains his fit body to keep up with the competition in Shiroyama High School. Ban's ears are pierced and he usually will wear expensive jewelry such as chains and watches.
• Personality: Ban's usually described as a cunning and ambitious asshole. Most people are offput by how rude and confident he is and surprised by his intelligence. He was raised to be a rough "I can do by myself," sort of person. His independence makes it hard for him to make friends and have real relationships, so he uses his determination as an excuse for how lonely he is. Everything he does he tries his best at, having a perfectionist heart but a cynical mind.
  
  Ban's brutally honest, which offends people with weak skin, though he believes in the mantra "if you don't like what I'm saying, then don't listen." He isn't one to pull punches, and his temper is nothing to fuck with. Stupidity irks him, mostly because he's good at gauging talent and he hates seeing people not reach their full potential. He loves competition, which is part of the reason why he started attending Shiroyama.
  
  Ban's very aggressive when it comes to competition and battles. It's the best place for him to vent his anger, and vent he does. In fact, his personality has caused him to have a reputation as the "Savage of Shiroyama." He finds the nickname redundant but he lets it continue to make people more fearful of him than necessary.
  
  It takes a lot for him to like someone, so at this point he's content with being alone. Maybe it's because he has trust issues, he's never thought too hard about it. Ban's extreme when it comes to people that he doesn't like, but he's also extreme when he actually enjoys someone's presence to the point of friendship. If you somehow gain Ban's trust and befriend him, he's fiercely loyal, though his personality doesn't soften much. He firmly believes that it isn't worth his time to change himself to please others. Ban does what he wants, and those who don't like it can insert their heads into places that don't see the Sun often.
• Backstory: Ban was born in a rough house hold. His father was always working and his kids preferred him busy instead of focusing on them. Ban was raised to be emotionless, his father saw emotion as a sign of weakness. Weakness was beaten out of Ban and his siblings, but they adapted quickly. Their mother skipped out on their Dad and her kids when Ban was 3, so he doesn't remember her well, but his older brother Benji remembers her well.
  
  Ban's competitiveness was fostered by everyone's assumption that he would amount to nothing. His father let him know how worthless he would be daily, which did wonders his self-esteem.... Because of this, Ban tried his hardest in everything he did. He was surprised to find that he was actually quite smart when he tried to be. He had a very analytical mind, skilled in picking things apart and looking at things differently. Acceling at school was the only way to get his father's attention, who would never compliment him, but he would at least acknowledge the achievements.
  
  Ban soon took the stage over his two brother and two sisters when he applied and was accepted to Shiroyama High School. He created a reputation quickly for his abnormally aggressive and rude persona, rising ranks quickly. Once he established a name for himself as the Savage of Shiroyama, he became quite content and slowed his battling down. For some reason, a few disturbing students took a keen interest in him. They tried following him around like some sort of posse, but he ended the admiration quickly when he challenged them all and beat them senseless. That was the last battle he took part in, he's kept a relatively low profile since then, though he gets quite a few fearful looks from some students, especially first years.
• Inherent Engine Skill:
  Kiai (Fired Up): Ban's IE skill increases his physical abilities are supernaturally enhanced. Traits like his strength, speed, stamina, and endurance are all boosted. Ban's IE skill also gives him a high resistance to heat. While this skill is passive and automatic, it's tied to his emotions, so the more fired up he gets, the more his abilities increase. Vice verse, the less passionate he is, the less powerful his abilities become.
• Active Engine Device:
  Jigoku No Ha: Hell Blades

  
  Abilities:
  -Sukōchi (Flare): Jigoku No Ha can internally heat up until they are white hot and can burn on contact. This makes Ban a dangerous close quarters combatant, forcing most opponents to dodge instead of block due to the intense heat.
  -Chōshinsei (Supernova): This ability allows Ban to create balls of fire from the palms of his hands that he can hurl with at opponents. He uses this when his opponent is keeping distance between them.
  -Furēmushīrudo (Flame Shield): The final ability of Ban's Hell Blades creates a shield made of solid fire that can block a few attacks before dissipating, the longer the duration of the shield, the more mana it depletes.
• Skills: Ban's good at figuring things out on his own. He has an engineer's analytical mind, and he loves to take things apart and learn how they work. Ban enjoys and excels in sports and anything that gets his adrenaline pumping.
• Rank: 37
• Club: Ban has yet to join a club, mostly because he doesn't like anyone in them.

Okay I took out the IQ measurement and the AED attachment and instead tied it to his emotions if that's okay. If not I can take out the emotional tie as well. @VitaVitaAR

Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP

@VitaVitaAR

Would you like me to change that in my sheet? I thought it could be an interesting drawback to the IE but it's fine either way.

As for his IQ I wasn't using it as a measurement for intelligence, rather his ability to use his memory as well as pattern recognition and special perception. But if you'd rather stay away from quantitative measurements I can keep it vague.

I'm always open to suggestions and constructive criticism, doesn't matter if we talk here or over PM's.

I'm hoping you guys are still accepting, though I think you are given that guy just quit. I'd be interested in making a character, though I'll warn you that I can take quite a long time to create one.

A Walk in the Desert - An Avatar Roleplay

Maya Koyanagi

Name:
Maya Koyanagi

Age:
21

Sex:
Female

Element:
None

Appearance:
Maya's taller than average, standing at 5'8" and weighing around 135 pounds. Her most prominent feature is her short, wavy, blood red hair. Next comes her grey eyes that people always compare to storm clouds for some reason. Maya has subtle, soft features, which contrasts her rather large personality. She has a lithe, athletic build that's made for speed and she's surprisingly flexible despite her long limbs and torso. Her normal attire consists of clothes she can easily move around in and either running shoes or combat boots. Her favorite colors are black so most of her clothes reflect that.

Home:
The Middle Ring

Profession:
RSF academy trainee

Personality:
Words to describe Maya? Confident, determined, ambitious would all apply nicely. Maya tries to do the best she possibly can at everything she does. She's desciplined like her father, meaning she has good self control and a level-head. She was raised in a strict household that taught her to strive for excellency in all situations, so she does just that. Maya believes that she can excel at anything she puts her heart into. This leads her to be very passionate about her work and dreams of the future.

Being raised to fight for what she wants has lead her to be ambitious and determined. It takes a lot to convince Maya to not do something that she sets her heart on. The bad side of this is that she's stubborn, to the point where she hates being wrong. Maya is fiercely protective and loving towards those who she considers close to her, although getting close to her takes more effort than most are willing to give. Because of this, Maya's used to being alone, though she tells herself that she's perfectly okay with it and that she doesn't need a bunch of friends. Plus, she has other important things to focus on, like graduating from the RSF Academy. Most people are put off by her strong presence and demeanor, which isn't the norm. Most people are even more surprised to learn that she's the top of her class, which she worked very hard for she likes to add. Maya's brutally honest and gives zero fucks about what other people think of her. Basically, she doesn't like people, she likes accomplishing her goals.

Stance on Benders?:
Being raised by a high-ranking RSF has instilled a natural ruthlessness towards benders. Up until the power plant explosion, benders weren't really a problem anymore, but Maya was taught to always stay vigilant. With the new outburst of benders, Maya is ready to do whatever it takes to keep her city safe.

History:
Maya grew up in the Middle Ring of Ba Sing Se in a strict, upper-middle class home. Her first life lesson was this: You have to work for the things you want. It was blunt, but Maya loved it, breathed it, lived it. Some people said she was good at school, others said she was just book-smart, but no one would ever comment on her actual intelligence. Maybe she intimidated some people? Who knew, she never cared enough to ask. Ever since she was little, Maya steamrolled through life, through opposition. She was a bright kid and a studious one at that. She had a love for learning and knowledge, to which she thanked her parents for. Her mother was a doctor and her father was a high ranking officer in the RSF. Ever since she was little, Maya dreamed of being like her father, she really was a daddy's girl. Her Dad was always there for her, with his stern yet loving demeanor. He always had something to say or something new to teach her or an amazing story to tell.

Maya was in the top 10% of her class all through elementary, middle, and high school. She flourished in the academic setting, though her social life was almost non-existent. She preferred the work, work, work, 'til you die lifestyle her father lived by. How else was she going to support her future family? Maya was never one to sit on the sidelines and let the others do the dirty work. Hell, she would volunteer to do the dirty work.

All her hard work paid off when she finally was accepted in the RSF Academy. She was once again in her natural habitat, and she excelled. Excelled to the point of envy for some. Maya lost count of the times she heard people talking behind her back or of how many dirty looks she got. Especially from the guys, who probably weren't used to a girl being better than they were. She's not one to hold grudges but she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the feeling of being top of her class, much to her classmates dismay. Maya looked at it this way, if you can't keep up, then you don't deserve to be here anyways. Yes, she had natural talent, but for fuck's sake she worked damn hard for everything she received. She just wanted to make her mother and father proud, and graduate so she could help the city be a safer place for everyone.
